It took a long time to describe the fight, but it all happened in the blink of an eye. The few people surrounding them were dumbfounded and didn’t dare to step forward.
At that time, the patrolling guards followed the shouting and came over. When they saw the group of people, they shouted, “Why are you all here again? The constable has just let you go, and now you’re making trouble again?”
The captain then walked toward Gu Chcngrui and asked, “Doctor Gu, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, but these people must be dealt with seriously. They’re more abominable than bandits.” Gu Chcngrui glanced at the crowd and commented.
The refugees immediately put down the sticks in their hands and said, “We’re innocent! We didn’t plan on doing it, but the village chief forced us to do so.”
“Yes, yes. Last time, his two sons went to rob a restaurant and were both caught. When they came out, one died, and one was seriously injured.”
“That’s why he’s blackmailing us to help him take revenge.”
…..
“Yes, our food and provisions are all controlled by his trusted aides. If we don’t listen to him, we will starve.”
The old man, who had been struggling to get up, vomited three mouthfuls of blood after hearing this and fainted.
When the captain heard this, his face immediately darkened. He waved his hand at the guards to capture them. “Doctor Gu, we’ll have to trouble you to come with us.”
“That’s fine.” After Gu Chcngrui finished speaking, he picked up the first aid kit and followed.
After arriving at the Yamcn, Tian Jingzhong seriously interrogated the refugees. After learning that the village chief had indeed coerced them, he arrested more than a dozen heavily involved criminals and their families for execution.
This included the five injured people, which saved some medical expenses.
Although the others were released, they were expelled from Qingshui Town, and their faces were plastered throughout the county.
Hence, they were chased out of Yunhc County within two days.
The group could only take a small amount of food to the south.
Of course, this was a story for later.
After Gu Chcngrui left the police station, he returned to the clinic and got Doctor Luo to get treated.
Although he wasn’t wounded, he was hit twice with a stick, once on his back and once on his leg. Although it wasn’t fatal, the bruises were still scary-looking. He didn’t dare let Zhou Ying know about those.
After that, Doctor Luo clapped his hands and said, “Alright, you’re a medical professional yourself, so I don’t need to remind you of what you need to do. Take a good rest for the next two days.”
“Forget it. I’ll be exposed if I stay at home.” Gu Chcngrui said this as he dressed.
“You have to be more careful in the future. If you can’t win the fight, run. Don’t force yourself.
“If something were to happen to you, what would Zhou Ying do?”
“Yes, but sometimes it’s impossible to run. The best choice is to face it.”
Doctor Luo shook his head and ignored him. Instead, he packed up and left.
Seeing this, Gu Chcngrui sat down and drank two glasses of water. After resting for a while, he called Gu Chcngxi and rushed home in his carriage.
In the evening, Zhou Ying had nothing to do. She steamed two giant crabs, made a pot of spicy shrimp, and stewed half a pot of corn and pork rib soup.
Gu Chcngrui looked at the sumptuous dinner on the table, and the corner of his mouth twitched. If it were in the past, he would have eaten them happily; he could only cat ribs now due to his injuries.
“What’s wrong with you?” Zhou Ying asked curiously. “Don’t you like spicy food? Why don’t you eat the prawns? ”
“You can have them. I have a toothache because of the heat. I’ll eat it another day when I have the chance.” Gu Chcngrui replied while gnawing on a rib.
Zhou Ying didn’t think much about it. After the meal, she made him a pot of herbal tea and said, “The weather is really getting dry. You have to drink more water in town..”
