Jiang Fusang returned alone, and Zang was greatly disappointed. She drooped her eyelids and plucked her rosary beads, without even looking at her who came to reply.

Not long after returning to the West Garden, someone from Lou Huanjun's side sent word that the beginning of next month would be the Buddha Bathing Day, and the queen would invite wives from aristocratic families to listen to Buddhist scriptures at Yongning Temple. The Xu family would also be there by then, so she should make preparations in advance.

Jiang Fusang hadn't rested yet, and his expression had become even worse over the past half day. He retreated from the crowd and went to bed to rest, without even getting up for lunch.

Jiao Xing was so anxious that she wiped away tears outside.

How could my daughter have such a miserable life! She lost her parents when she was young, and when she got married, she met a beast like Xu Balang!

Now she is staying behind closed doors, and she doesn't know what's going on inside, whether it's good or bad... Oh, she must be stupid, how can she be okay if she encounters this kind of thing?

But what can we do if it’s not good? It’s too late for the Jiang family to fawn over the Xu family, and there’s no one to support the heroine.

The queen didn't mention anything in front of Zang just now. Even if she mentioned it clearly, it would be useless, right? How can a mother not care about her son?

My arms can't twist my thigh, and if I break it, I can only go down in silence. It's better to keep it in the dark...

The more Jiao Xing thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. I am afraid that I will be soaked in Coptis chinensis soup for the rest of my life.

-

A group of people were galloping on a dirt road in the countryside. The place they passed was full of smoke and dust, and even pedestrians did not give way.

The farmer thought he had encountered a bandit. In a hurry to escape, his burden was overturned and his things were scattered all over the ground.

When the sun was setting in the west, the group of people arrived at the entrance of a certain village.

The man at first pulled up the reins and stopped. The horse raised its hooves vigorously, stamped its hooves quickly after landing, sneezed loudly from its nose, and let out a long neighing, which took a while to subside.

Xiao Yuandu missed his molar, lowered his eyes and took a look at his crotch.

The horse was so weak that he had the urge to chop it with a knife. It was only because he had shot the horse that had been following him for many years out of anger when he fell off the horse, so he could only make do with it now.

He raised his head and looked at the dilapidated village in front of him with half-squinted eyes: "Are you sure you're right this time?"

We drove at high speed from Beijing to Ling without stopping. We should have arrived long ago, but when we asked for directions, our accent was unclear and we were pointed to the wrong place, which delayed our efforts.

One of the attendants smiled flatteringly and responded carefully: "Back to you, sir, this must be Fanjia Village." After saying this, he subconsciously covered the right side of his face.

There was an eye-catching whip mark on it, which was slapped by the fifth young master before he fell from his horse. The swelling has not completely disappeared yet, and scars are inevitable. He is deeply afraid of being whipped again, after all, he was the one who asked the wrong way just now.

Xiao Yuandu was obviously distracted at the moment, and without looking at him, he nudged the horse's belly slightly and drove the horse into the village.

At this time of year, smoke was already rising from cooking, and there were few people on the village road. Some people who noticed the movement looked over their heads and saw that the person was not good at all, and then pulled their heads back.

Scarface pointed at the idle man catching lice under the roots of an old tree not far away: "You, come here!"

The idle man heard someone shouting, and when he saw the other person's appearance, his eyes suddenly lit up. He had begged for food in the capital and had seen a wide range of things, but he was no better than these timid neighbors.

After biting the newly caught louse to death, he immediately stood up, hunched over his hands and trotted over, baring his jagged yellow teeth: "My lord, do you have anything to tell me?"

Scarface frowned with a big knot between his eyebrows. He endured the strange smell and asked him, "Is there anyone named Fan Qiongzhi in the village?"

"The noble is looking for her?" The idle man was a little surprised. He thought that Fan Qiongzhi's appearance was quite attractive, and he was not surprised anymore. He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I will lead the way for the noble!"

The idle man was rushing to collect the reward money, and his attitude was particularly positive. He trotted all the way in front, his shoes did not keep up with his feet, and he did not bother to pick up one if it ran away.

Not long after, we arrived in front of a fenced courtyard. The gate was low and simple, and could be opened with a push.

When the idle man entered the courtyard, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Qiongzhi? Qiongzhi? There is a visitor in your house, and he is an honored guest. Come out and entertain the guest!"

No one responded.

The idle man turned around and saw that the noble man with the injury on his head had dismounted from his horse and walked into the courtyard. The tall and majestic figure was scary to look at, and the low courtyard was made even more cramped.

His eyes slowly scanned the surroundings, but he couldn't discern any meaning, but he no longer had the sinister look just now.

"It's not worth mentioning. My father died of illness just two months ago. Our family is extremely poor. We only have this old tree that was struck by lightning. We can't even raise a living creature..." The idle man was eager to show off.

Seeing that the main room was not locked, he opened the door and walked in as if he were entering his own home, "Fan Qiongzhi, the guests are here!"

Xiao Yuandu stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands. Although his expression was the same, if you look closely, his shoulders and back were slightly tense.

Scarface's followers saw this and couldn't help but wonder to themselves, who is this Fan Qiongzhi? There are few people who can make the Fifth Young Master care so much.

Just as he was thinking about it, the idle man came out scratching his scalp: "Where are the people?"

Except for this earthen house, the courtyard has a clear view and there is no place to hide people.

The idle man was puzzled and smiled flatteringly at Xiao Yuandu: "Your Excellency, wait a moment. I'll go and ask around. Maybe I'm visiting."

There was no need to go out and ask. He was shouting and ostentatious all the way, which had already alarmed the neighbors. Everyone did not dare to come near, and they were just looking at him through the fence.

"Four aunts, is Qiongzhi at your house?" the idle man asked the gray-haired old woman.

The old woman looked at him and then at the array in the courtyard, shrank her neck, and did not dare to say a word.

"Hey, you old woman! I'm asking you, are you deaf? Believe it or not..." He took off the only worn shoe he had left and pretended to fight.

The old woman squatted down with her head in her hands. She looked like chaff all over her body. She was obviously used to being bullied.

No one around her dared to stop her.

Xiao Yuandu folded his arms and watched this scene, and suddenly said: "Have you ever bullied her like this?"

She? Who? The idle man was stunned.

After reacting, he quickly waved his hand: "What do noble people say? How dare a villain..."

Xiao Yuandu didn't have the patience to listen to his nonsense, so he raised his chin.

The people below understood and captured the idle man, tied him up in twos and threes, and hung him upside down from the half-decayed tree in the courtyard.

"What are you doing, noble man? Please spare your life, noble man!"

The idle man begged for mercy again and again, his head and face quickly became bloodshot, but he still refused to tell the truth, insisting that he had never bullied Fan Qiongzhi.

The people watching outside the hospital suffered deeply, but they were even more afraid of the revenge of idle people after the group left, and did not dare to come forward to testify.

The personal attendant knew what Xiao Yuandu liked to play, so he handed over the bow and arrows at the right time.

Xiao Yuandu glanced at it, seeming a little less interested in this usual fun, but still reached out to take it.

The idle man was suddenly horrified when he saw him standing crookedly, with his bow and arrow drawn and his eyes narrowed, as if a cat was playing with a mouse.

Before he could even say anything for mercy, he heard a hiss, the arrow brushed his scalp and embedded itself in the tree trunk, and the sticky hair spread out instantly.

"Ahhhh!!!" The idle man screamed like a pig.

The second arrow and the third arrow were shot one after another, lazily, and the string was not fully drawn, but they missed the critical place again and again.

"Tell me, have you ever bullied her? The next arrow will not be so accurate."

In fact, when the first arrow was fired, Xian Han was already frightened and ready to attack. Xiao Yuandu didn't even give him a chance to speak. The next few arrows were just for fun.

Sure enough, the crotch of Xianhan's pants quickly became wet, and the water trickled down along his belly. Because he was hanging upside down, his face was also wet after a while.

"For the sake of leading the way, I'll wash your face and quench your thirst." Xiao Yuandu casually threw the bow and arrow to his subordinates and smiled quite evilly.

His followers also laughed along with him.

Seeing the idle man's lips pursed tightly, someone stepped forward and kicked him: "Young Master rewards you with a good life, don't be ignorant of what is good and what is evil!"

How dare the idle man not listen? He could only cry and open his mouth to catch the smelly urine.

There was another burst of laughter.

The onlookers were really shocked by Xiao Yuandu's methods!

They realize that this may not be a hero who punishes rape, but a villain worse than an idle man!

Fearing that the arrow would hit them, when Scarface personally came out to inquire about Fan Qiongzhi's movements, these people were meticulous about everything and did not dare to hide anything.

"Young Master, this guy is dishonest and didn't give full explanations. He did more than just stealing and molesting, he also molested the girls of the Fan family many times..." Before he finished speaking, he noticed that the corners of the Young Master's lips suddenly straightened, "What about the Fan family?"

The girl couldn't escape, so she took her brother and left the village secretly before dawn..."

Xiao Yuandu chuckled, his cold gaze falling on the idle man, not looking at a living creature at all.

"Here comes the arrow." He stretched out his hand again.

"Young Master, calm down!" This is not Jiyuan. People are really getting killed. No one is there to deal with it. They might even be treated as a raft. "Young Master is too angry. It's just a lesson. It's important to find people right now."

Xiao Yuandu's expression was gloomy and he finally looked away from Xian Han: "Where will she go after she leaves the village?"

"I don't know where to go." She was afraid that he would break out again, and then added, "She has no animals to travel with, and she is only half a boy with her. She can't walk fast enough. Let's split up and chase her. If we work hard, we will definitely catch up."

Xiao Yuandu said no more and strode out of the courtyard.

Scarface just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the tall and strong figure stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

He glanced at the complete set of bows and arrows that had arrived in his hand at some point, and Scarface secretly said, "It's not good!"

But it was too late——

Without moving his feet, Xiao Yuandu half-twirled his body, drew an arrow with his bow, and after letting out a ferocious laugh, shot out both arrows.

Different from the lazy play just now, the sharp sound that broke through the air clearly had murderous intent this time.

With two dull thuds, the bow and arrow penetrated both knees, blood splattered, and the faint sound of bones breaking could be heard.
