The man stared at Mr. Li with a meaningful smile on his face.

He did not say anything else, but turned his gaze to the stunned old lady Li and called out, "Mom."

Old Lady Li came back to her senses instantly, looking at the man's terrifying face, she felt a chill in her heart for no reason.

She had a frozen expression and managed a smile: "Son, son..."

There was such an awkward atmosphere between the three of them that it didn't look like a parent-child relationship at all.

……

at the same time.

In the Jiang family yard, Jiang Xuelian paced back and forth anxiously.

"Xiaoxiao, what should I do? Your mother hasn't come back yet. Could something have really happened?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned tightly and said nothing.

She had anticipated such a thing ever since Aunt Wu San came to her house to steal the marriage documents.

Her family had also thought of ways to deal with it, so she was not afraid when facing the old couple from the Li family who came to cause trouble.

But her mother didn't come back for a long time, and she began to worry.

Could it be that the Qingping County government had really arrested her mother?
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky which was almost evening and stood up suddenly.

No!

She had to go see it.

"Sister Xuelian, go to the stable and get the horse. We are going to Qingping County."

"it is good."

Jiang Xuelian was also worried about Jiang Wei, so she quickly nodded and agreed, went to the stable to get the horse, and put on the carriage.

The Jiang family now has two carriages. Jiang Wei drove away one, and there is still one left in the family.

The two of them locked the gate and got on the carriage.

Jiang Xuelian was extremely anxious and the carriage drove very fast.

When it was completely dark, we finally arrived in Qingping County.

Jiang Xiaoxiao lifted the car curtain and looked around. Qingping County was much larger than Yong'an County, with dozens of alleys extending in all directions. She didn't recognize any of them.

She originally wanted to find a passerby to ask how to get to the Qingping County Government Office, but it was already completely dark at this moment, visibility was very low, and there were few pedestrians on the road.

The carriage circled in the alley.

Jiang Xuelian had just arrived and didn't know the way.

However, at this moment, bursts of beating and scolding suddenly came from the alley opposite.

"I let you be so proud! I let you rely on your status as an official student to oppose me! Brothers, beat him to death! Cut the tendons of his hands and feet, I don't see how he can hold a pen to take the imperial examination!"

……

Jiang Xuelian was in a hurry to find Jiang Wei and didn't want to meddle in other people's business. Just as she was about to pull the reins and leave, the curtain behind her was suddenly lifted.

"What, what's wrong, Xiaoxiao?"

Jiang Xuelian turned her head and saw Jiang Xiaoxiao's gloomy face.

"Get off and take a look over there." Jiang Xiaoxiao spat out a few words coldly, then jumped off the carriage without waiting for Jiang Xuelian to react.

"Xiaoxiao..." Jiang Xuelian shouted, and just as she was about to stop him, she saw Jiang Xiaoxiao take out the anesthetic gun that she had seen on the carriage before from the pouch on her waist.

She shut up instantly.

She understood that Xiaoxiao would only take out the black iron lump when it came to saving lives.

Jiang Xiaoxiao walked towards the alley where the sound came from, taking quick and light steps.

Jiang Xuelian followed her closely, holding a stone in her hand, which she had just picked up from the corner.

When they reached the entrance of the alley, they saw clearly that a group of men were surrounding a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old and beating him up with fists and kicks.

The boy was pinned to the ground by them, his left palm was pierced by the blade and nailed to the ground, blood was all over the ground, and his other arm was tightly held by someone, and the knife was about to pierce it. Jiang Xiaoxiao was quick-witted and shot the anesthetic needle out, hitting the man's face.

boom--

The man who was holding the knife and was about to stab fell to the ground with a bang.

The group of people were simply stunned.

"What, what's going on?!"

They looked around but saw no one.

"What's wrong? You don't want to continue?!" Zheng Yaocai walked forward while cursing, glanced at the man who fainted on the ground, and sneered: "Useless guy, you fainted when I asked you to pinch your tendons, humph, come on."

He pointed at another servant.

The boy took the knife tremblingly, looked at the young man who was almost dying on the ground, and swallowed unconsciously.

He raised the knife and was about to stab the man when he fell to the ground with a thud.

The sound of the sharp blade falling to the ground was crisp and loud in the quiet night.

At this point, the people around finally started to panic. How could a healthy person faint in the middle of the night?
Could it be that he ran into something unclean?

A gust of cold wind blew, and several people unconsciously shrank their necks.

"Master Zheng, why don't we just go..."

Zheng Yaocai looked at the people who fainted one after another on the ground with a frown on his face.

Several servants nearby advised, "Master, this guy's hand is already broken, and the academy has kicked him out. He won't cause any trouble in the future. Let's go quickly. Madam is still waiting for you to come back."

Zheng Yaocai glanced at the young man on the ground who was breathing out more than breathing in, and his frown finally relaxed. He snorted softly, "Then let's go. With his dead dog look, I wonder who would dare to save him."

After saying that, he led a group of servants away.

The last few servants dragged the fainted person away with them.

Seeing that the people had already walked out of the alley, Jiang Xuelian put down the stone and went out to save them.

Jiang Xiaoxiao stopped her and shook her head silently at her.

Jiang Xuelian didn't understand, but she stopped and continued to hide behind the entrance of the alley.

Sure enough, after a while, Zheng Yaocai came back with that group of people.

Jiang Xuelian was so frightened that her heart trembled. Fortunately, Xiaoxiao stopped her, otherwise she would have fallen into the trap of this group of people.

The group looked around fiercely, and then said, "Master, there are no Tibetans nearby."

Zheng Yaocai looked gloomy, and then glanced at Duan Yu who had fainted from the pain on the ground, and said, "Okay, let's go. He looks so dead. If he stays here for one night, his body will be stiff by the time someone finds him."

Only then did they leave the alley.

Jiang Xiaoxiao still didn't move. She listened to the footsteps in the distance with her nose. When the footsteps gradually faded away and could no longer be heard, she put away the tranquilizer gun and rushed to the boy.

"H-Hello...are you okay?"

She called out twice, then reached out and gently pushed the unconscious boy.

The boy didn't respond and seemed to have fainted from the pain.

Jiang Xiaoxiao could only look at his palm nailed to the ground.

The sight of so much blood was frightening.

She didn't dare to move casually, as the knife had pierced her entire palm. If she pulled it out casually and injured the tendons and veins inside, her hand would be completely disabled.

She could only find a way to get Jiang Xuelian out of the way so that she could use her supernatural powers.

Jiang Xiaoxiao turned to Jiang Xuelian beside her and said, "Sister Xuelian, there is a box of spare silver needles in the carriage. Go get them. I want to help him stop the bleeding."

"But..." Jiang Xuelian didn't dare to leave casually, for she was afraid that the group of people would come back again.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's tone instantly carried a hint of command: "Sister Xuelian, go quickly, this is a matter of life and death!" (End of this chapter)
