The cavalry team arrived at the door of Liu Mansion. Zheng Ke was the first to jump down and quickly walked to the door. He stretched out his hand to remove the seal, but was stopped by the boss butler Liu Kai, "Zheng Ke, don't be reckless, go and inquire first."
Take a moment and ask what’s going on.”
After speaking, Liu Kai waved his hand, and everyone around him immediately dispersed.
It didn't take long before someone came back.
"The chief steward has inquired about it. At noon, a warrior in golden armor came and took the master away first, and then took away everyone in the house."
"The Marquis was taken to the prison, and the prince and others were imprisoned in the prison of the Department of Law."
After hearing this, Liu Kai couldn't help but frown.
"It's strange, how could the Marquis be arrested without any warning?"
At this time, Zheng Ke continued, "I heard from the housekeeper just now that there are rumors in the capital that the young lady is gathering people secretly."
"Yes, some people say that Mr. Hou and Zhu Meng are in the same group, saying that he is secretly supporting Zhu Meng."
After hearing these words, Liu Kai let out a long sigh, "Rumors are indeed more powerful than tigers. I didn't expect that I couldn't escape them in the end."
"Butler, let's leave first. If anyone sees us coming back, we might cause trouble." Zheng Ke reminded in a low voice.
"That's fine, let's break it up into parts and let's all go out separately and gather at Jinghu Lake."
Jinghu Lake is in Liu Xiangnan's fiefdom, and it is relatively safer to gather there.
When everyone gathered together, they began to talk with each other, "Butler, we should go directly to the emperor and ask him to release him."
Liu Kai stared, "Don't say such disrespectful words again."
Zheng Ke clasped his fists and said, "Butler, I think it's better to tell the lady about this as soon as possible. After all, he is with the prince."
After hearing this, Liu Kai nodded, "Fei Ge sent a letter to the lady, telling her what happened here, and asking her to tell the prince about it as soon as possible."
After saying that, he turned around and looked into the distance. Several low houses were blurred in the dusk.
This is a place where workers take a break during the busy farming season.
"We will stay here for a few days and wait until there is any news from the lady."
The sky was slightly brighter the next day, and Hetou Village was boiling with excitement.
Chen Xiaobei is back, and he brought Cui Hongyu with him.
The village protection team members gathered around excitedly and asked questions.
The ancestor also hurriedly came to the big locust tree on crutches.
"Xiaobei, have you ever found out what happened?"
Chen Xiaobei pointed behind him at some horses in the distance.
On horseback, Chen Sanqiu and others were beaten to pieces, and their internal organs were about to come out.
The ancestor looked at it carefully and couldn't help but said in surprise, "Isn't this Sanqiu?"
"Yes, he was the one who led our ancestors to kidnap Hong Yu. There is also Liu Xiaobao, who is also a rogue in the county."
Upon hearing this, the ancestor stuttered with his cane and said, "You bastard, you really embarrass our old Chen family."
"According to our clan rules, such a person should be drowned in the river."
Upon hearing the ancestor's words, the crowd became furious and shouted loudly.
"Sinking in the river."
"Sink in the river!"
Looking at the red faces, Chen Xiaobei waved his hand.
"Don't be anxious, everyone, just listen to me. Since there are clan rules, we will follow the clan rules."
After speaking, he turned to look at the village guard Chen Dayong.
Chen Dayong naturally understood and immediately said loudly, "I will take people to prepare the wooden cage."
The crowd gradually dispersed after a quarrel, but Cuihua rushed to Cui Hongyu wiping her tears.
"Sister Hongyu, come and see my house quickly!"
Cui Hongyu suddenly came to his senses and asked, "How is brother Dachun, sister-in-law? Can you get out of bed?"
Cuihua shook her head, "Oh, it's still the same. She keeps lying on the bed and says she can't feel her legs and feet."
Chen Xiaobei heard the conversation between the two and turned around, "What's wrong with Brother Dachun?"
Only then did Cui Hongyu briefly explain Chen Dachun's injury.
After hearing this, Chen Xiaobei also felt an ominous feeling in his heart. He had been injured for so many days and still had no feeling in his lower body. He was probably going to be paralyzed after the fall.
Of course, you can't say this now. If you say it, it might make Cuihua even more sad.
So he could only comfort Cuihua with a few words and let Cui Hongyu go and help first.
After finishing all these matters, Chen Xiaobei saw Liu Ce and Liu Tie standing side by side not far away, standing there and looking at him with smiles on their faces.
Chen Xiaobei stepped forward and said hello, "Butler Liu, thank you for sending someone to help. We are back."
Liu Ce nodded, "It will be great if Brother Xiaobei can find it back. By the way, the supplies on the mountain will have to be transported for a few more days. I will arrange for you to rest."
Just as Chen Xiaobei was about to speak, he heard a commotion in the distance and saw a group of people walking towards the south of the village talking and laughing.
Only then did Lin Xiaobei come to his senses. A warehouse was still being built on the four acres of land.
After saying goodbye to Liu Ce, Chen Xiaobei hurried to Chen Dachun's home.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine.
Walking into the house, the second aunt Xiumei was also crying beside her. Whoever it was, the mainstay of the family, would not feel good.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei coming, Dachun also looked frustrated and waved to him.
Chen Xiaobei sat down and said, "Brother Dachun, I believe Hongyu will cure you."
Hearing these words, Chen Dachun's eyes still flashed with light, "Yes, I'll leave everything to you and Hong Yu."
"Brother, just rest at home and rest at ease. Leave the warehouse on the four acres of land to me. By the way, you were injured while building the warehouse. Your daily wages will not be less, and the village will be responsible for the medical expenses."
At this time, Chen Qiaoer's clear voice sounded outside, "Brother, sister-in-law, you are back."
Chen Qiaoer missed her brother and sister-in-law, so she went to bed very late at night. She missed the excitement in the village just now. When she heard that her brother and sister-in-law were back, she hurriedly looked for them.
When Chen Xiaobei came to the yard, he saw Chen Qiaoer lying on the wall and shouting in this direction.
Chen Xiaobei waved, "Qiao'er, come down quickly. I'll be home in a moment."
Uncle Chen Qiaoer obeyed and immediately slipped off the wall.
At this time, Cui Hongyu also walked out, and the two of them walked home in tacit agreement.
After leaving Dachun's courtyard and saying goodbye to Cuihua, Chen Xiaobei glanced at Cui Hongyu.
Cui Hongyu shook her head, "It's been so many days, and she doesn't have any feeling in her lower body. I think she's probably paralyzed."
Chen Xiaobei also sighed slightly, "Oh, Brother Dachun, what kind of fate is this? Life has just improved a bit and this is it."
After hearing this, Cui Hongyu felt helpless, "What can I do? It's all God's will!"
Just as he was saying this, there was a sound of footsteps. Chen Qiaoer couldn't wait to greet him and threw himself into Cui Hongyu's arms.
"Sister-in-law, you are back. Qiaoer misses you."
One sentence made Cui Hongyu's eyes turn red.
She touched Chen Qiaoer's forehead affectionately and said, "Sister-in-law is fine, you should go to school."
