The man was stabbed by the spear, but he just said "ah", then grabbed the gun in his hand, and stabbed at Yan Chen.

Although it was night, under the bright moonlight, he could clearly see his ferocious appearance.

Yan Chen didn't expect this man to be so ruthless, he pulled out the spear at once, turned the spear and came towards him.He was still young, so he didn't know that some bad guys didn't run away when they found out that they had done bad things, but wanted to kill people to silence them.

Seeing the long spear stabbing towards him, Yan Chen remembered to dodge, but the man refused to let go, and stabbed at him with every gun, the gun wanted his life!

Yan Chen didn't have a weapon in his hand, so he was reluctant to hide. Fortunately, the man's leg was injured and his movements were not too neat, otherwise Yan Chen would have a few more holes in his body.

While hiding, Yan Chen was also worried about her sister in the teahouse, wondering if the fire was big or not, and whether it had been extinguished.When he was distracted, he was stabbed in the shoulder by a spear. He let out an "ouch" and even took several steps back, feeling the pain so badly that he couldn't even stand up.

The man stepped forward with a smirk, and said viciously: "Boy, today is your death day next year! Don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame you for being from Zhangchi!"

After speaking, he clenched his spear tightly and stabbed it fiercely.

Yan Chen wanted to hide, but the man was too close to him, the spear was right in front of him, he couldn't dodge no matter what.

"Xiaochen!"

Yan Xi put out the fire, and was frightened by such a scene as soon as she went out.

She subconsciously threw the long sword in her left hand over, and then flew forward, stabbing the man with the sword in her right hand.

The man's gun barely pierced Yan Chen's body, and was knocked crooked by the long sword. The point of the gun made a cut in Yan Chen's chest, and he himself staggered. Before he fell down, his eyes suddenly There are more long swords.

When Yan Xi saw that Yan Chen was injured, he felt anxious and angry, and the sword in his hand stabbed at the man in front of Yan Chen regardless.

The sword came swiftly and ruthlessly. Tao Zixing was used to pampering him, and he still has a fat body. It's okay to bully a kid like Yan Chen, but he won't have an advantage against a big kid like Yan Xi who knows kung fu. up.He wanted to withdraw his gun to block the sword, but it was too late, he was stabbed in the shoulder by a sword, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground.

Yan Xi tore off the belt on her body, while the man hugged his shoulders and howled, stepped forward and tied him tightly.

Tao Zixing hadn't experienced such a pain for many years, he was yelling while struggling, Yan Xi angrily tore a piece of cloth and stuffed it in his mouth, then swung his fist and threw it on him until he lowered his head, honestly That's it, so I stopped.

Yan Xi threw the man to the ground and went to see Yan Chen. Yan Chen's face was pale and his body was stained with blood.

Enduring her distress and fear, she said in a trembling voice, "Xiaochen, hold on for a while, and I'll take you to Brother Zhang's house."

Yan Chen opened his eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth, but couldn't smile.

He said weakly: "Sister, drag that man to the teahouse, don't, don't let him run away."

Yan Xi glanced at the man, and met his angry and unwilling eyes, "Okay!"

She dragged him into the teahouse, closed the door, and came back to hug Yan Chen.

"Xiaochen, bear with me for a while, let's go to Brother Zhang's house."

At this time, the sky was getting dark, Yan Xi carried Yan Chen on his back, and within two steps, he saw Zhang Chi walking towards this side.

Zhang Chi was worried that the two children lived in the teahouse, so he came over early in the morning to take a look. He didn't expect to see the two siblings just after turning the intersection, and Yan Xi was carrying Yan Chen on his back, staggering in a hurry, obviously something happened thing.

He thought that Yan Chen was suffering from some kind of illness, so he hurried up to meet him, and stretched out his hand to meet Yan Chen.

"What's wrong with Xiaochen? Are you sick?"

Although Yan Xi was several years older than Yan Chen, she was a slender girl after all, and it was a bit difficult to carry a boy that reached his shoulders.At this time, when he saw Zhang Chi, the tense energy was relieved all of a sudden, and tears flowed down his face.

"Brother Zhang, Xiaochen..."

Yan Chen opened his eyes, called "Brother Zhang" softly, and closed them again.

Zhang Chi took Yan Chen into his arms and saw the blood all over his body.

His eyes narrowed and cast an eerie light.

"What's the matter? Who hurt him?"

"Last night, no, this morning..."

Zhang Chi interrupted him, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go back to the teahouse and talk about it."

"it is good."

Zhang Chi hugged Yan Chen in his arms and strode towards the teahouse.

As soon as he entered the teahouse, Zhang Chi smelled a burning smell, and the ground was still wet. He frowned, and without asking why, he told Yan Xi, "Go light the lamp, and put the medicine Bring the box."

Although it was already dawn, the room was still a little dark. Zhang Chi did not see the burnt black table, nor did he see the person whose hands and feet were tied and stuffed with cloth strips.

Zhang Chi went upstairs, put Yan Chen on the bed, and carefully took off his clothes, exposing the wounds on his shoulders and chest.It was inevitable that the wound would be scratched when undressing, Yan Chen frowned, but did not hum.Zhang Chi closed his eyes, and the movements of his hands were lighter.

Yan Xi brought up the medicine box, and when she saw Yan Chen's injuries, she shed tears again. "Xiaochen!"

Zhang Chi didn't know how trauma was treated in this era, so he could only cover Yan Chen's wound with clean gauze, and put clothes on his body to stop the bleeding.

"Yan Xi, you build a brazier to keep Xiaochen warm, and I'll call the doctor right away."

Zhang Chi hurriedly invited Liu Zhenyao over, and Liu Zhenyao was surprised when he saw Yan Chen's injury.I thought to myself, who would be so cruel to a child?

He glanced at Yan Xi and Zhang Chi, both of them had grief in their eyes, obviously it wasn't these two who did it.

He didn't ask much, and immediately cleaned the child's wound, sprinkled it with the powder that removes putrefaction and promotes muscle growth, then wrapped it with gauze and wrapped it with a bandage.

"Boss Zhang, although this young man didn't hurt his vitals, he lost a lot of blood. He needs to rest well. I prescribed several prescriptions for him. One is to replenish blood and produce blood, and the other is to prevent infection. If he has a fever tonight, it's normal. Yes, let him drink more water. If the fever is severe, call me anytime."

"Thank you Mr. Liu."

Liu Zhenyao couldn't bear to look at such a young child as Yan Chen, and sighed. "This kid can really bear it! After suffering such a serious injury, he didn't make a sound. Fortunately, it's not hot now, otherwise it would be even more troublesome."

"Yes! Mr. Liu, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, have you? May I invite you to Weimei Pavilion for breakfast?"

Liu Zhenyao stroked his beard and said, "Boss Zhang, you're welcome. I won't bother you if you have a patient at home. I'll come to your teahouse for tea some other day."

Zhang Chi laughed heartily, "No problem, as long as you are willing to come, I will do everything for free!"

Liu Zhenyao smiled and said, "How can I do that? Just get a VIP card."

"no problem."

Zhang Chi let Liu Zhenyao go downstairs and asked Yan Xi to follow to get the medicine.He sent people to the door, turned around, and then carefully inspected the mess in the lobby.

At this time, it was already bright, Zhang Chi opened the doors and windows to brighten up the room.

Looking at the burned tablecloth, table, and water on the ground, Zhang Chi was a little puzzled, was there a fire last night?How did Xiao Chen get hurt?

Suddenly he heard a "woo hoo" sound coming from behind the counter, he followed the sound to find the person who was tied up.

The man was lying on the ground, curled up and trembling, but when he saw Zhang Chi, his eyes shot out anger, annoyance and unwillingness.Zhang Chi was taken aback when he saw a face swollen like a pig's head, but when he recognized the person, he understood everything.

He stepped forward a few steps, grabbed the man by the collar, and lifted him up.

"Tao Zixing! You actually came to set fire to my teahouse?"

Zhang Chi didn't listen to his answer, and punched him on the bridge of the nose. Tao Zixing grunted, and then two lines of blood flowed from his nose.

"Tao Zixing, you can even murder children, are you still human? Come! Come with me to the yamen!"

He dragged Tao Zixing to go out, and when he went out, he met Yan Xi who had bought medicine and breakfast.

Yan Xi watched Zhang Chi dragging Tao Zixing out, pointed at Tao Zixing bitterly and said, "Brother Chi, that's him! He broke our window and set fire to our teahouse. After Xiao Chen and I found out, he wanted to kill people !"

Zhang Chi nodded, "Xiaoxi, I know everything. You go to boil the medicine first, take care of Xiaochen, and I'll go to the yamen right now!"

"Brother Zhang, haven't you eaten yet?"

"I won't eat, you and Xiaochen eat!"

Gao Ping has been sluggish for a long time since being taught a lesson by Marquis Ding Guo. What makes him even more uncertain is that Master Lin has left, and there is no news from Mr. Tang.

Mrs. Gao couldn't see his long and short sighs, and persuaded: "Master, you were a good official before. Although you didn't earn much money, you had a good reputation and a relaxed heart. But now, you see, for a few dollars, you What kind of trouble have you made yourself into!"

Gao Ping murmured, "What kind?"

Mrs. Gao brought him a mirror and asked him to look at it by himself.

Gao Ping looked at the person in the mirror, with sunken cheeks, thick bags under the eyes, and a little gray hair. His hand holding the mirror trembled uncontrollably. Could it be him?

Thinking back to before coming to Gucheng Town, although he was unwilling to be ignored and underestimated, he was angry in his heart and wanted to make a career, but why did he become like this now?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Mrs. Gao said softly, "Master, it's not worth it! I feel uneasy because of the money."

After Madam Gao finished speaking, she went out, leaving him a space to think.

Gao Ping recalled that he was studying hard in the cold window, and he also had ambitions, but they were exhausted in the day-to-day waiting.What should I do?

But I heard Yingnian come in and report, "Master, someone is beating the drums."

Gao Ping stood up abruptly, straightened his clothes, straightened his hat, took two steps, and suddenly his back collapsed. Can I still be a good official?

Seeing that the master suddenly stopped hesitantly, Yingnian couldn't help asking: "Master, what's the matter?"

Gao Ping looked at Yingnian, this child has been with him for more than ten years.He was originally his neighbor, but his parents died when he was ten years old, so he was brought by his side.He was his school boy back then, and accompanied him to take the exam, failed the exam, and took the exam again, until he became the county magistrate. It can be said that he has witnessed the hard work he has come along the way.

"Yingnian, do you think I'm a good official?"

Yingnian was a little confused by the question, but he still answered honestly, "Master has always been a good official. Although he was a little confused last time, he never did anything wrong."

"You mean that time I cared about Gu Xihe? Was it wrong?"

"I don't dare to say that the master is wrong, but as the presiding officer, whether you are the defendant or the plaintiff, you should not get too close to them, otherwise even if you do the right thing, someone will gossip."

Gao Ping was a little embarrassed by Shang Yingnian's black and white eyes. After all these years, this child is still so clean and pure.If he hasn't changed, then he has changed, right?

Although he wanted to climb up, he couldn't do anything against his will.With regard to Gu Xihe's case, he has been annoyed and blamed himself for too many days.Yingnian was right, he was as good as before.Although it is said to be pedantic, it is better than being scolded as a dog official.

Thinking of this, he straightened his chest and said loudly: "Yingnian, let's go, get promoted!"

Gao Ping arrived at the lobby, looked down, and saw that the acquaintances were actually Zhang Chi and Tao Zixing.

Zhang Chi was wearing a blue robe, while Tao Zixing's hands and feet were bound, his mouth was gagged, his face was swollen badly, and there were blood spots, which was scary.

He patted the gavel and said, "Luo Song, untie the man first."

"Yes."

Luo Song was about to untie Tao Zixing just now, but Zhang Chi refused, saying that if the prisoner escaped, would he be able to take responsibility?

Luo Song knew that Zhang Chi was not easy to mess with, and he was still a member of Marquis Ding, so he could only stare at him, but he didn't dare to do anything.At this time Gao Ping spoke, he glared at Zhang Chi triumphantly, and stepped forward to untie Tao Zixing.

Zhang Chi didn't stop him, Gao Ping came, he was not afraid that Tao Zixing would run away.If he wants to run, doesn't it prove that he has a guilty conscience?

Tao Zixing's hands and feet were untied, but his hands and feet were so numb that he couldn't even kneel, so he could only kowtow to Gao Ping on the ground.

"My lord, you have to decide for the villain! Zhang Chi imprisoned the villain and even injured the villain!"

snort!The villain should sue first!

Zhang Chi clenched his fists, glared at Tao Zixing bitterly, and then said: "My lord, Zhang Chi, the villain, sued Tao Zixing, the owner of Pinmingzhai, for intentionally setting fire and trying to kill people, but he was caught on the spot and sent Come to the yamen and ask your lord to punish him for his crime and let him get what he deserves!"

Gao Ping patted the table, "Tao Zixing, can this happen?"

"I'm wronged, my lord! How could the little one do such a thing? It was Zhang Chi who framed me. The villain will sue him for intentional harm!"

"Zhang Chi, you said Tao Zixing set fire to hurt people, what evidence do you have?"

"My lord, brothers and sisters Yan Chen and Yan Xi can testify. The person Tao Zixing hurt is the eight-year-old Yan Chen. He is seriously injured now, and his life and death are unknown. Let the Lord make a clear judgment!"

"Tao Zixing, do you plead guilty?"

Tao Zixing laughed loudly, "Joke, I am a teahouse owner, how can I do such a thing?"

"Tao Zixing, haven't you done it?"

"No! Zhang Chi is making a false accusation!" Tao Zixing had already made plans, but he refused to admit it.

"My lord, Zhang Chi didn't make a false accusation! He set the fire first, and then wanted to kill us to silence him!"

Gao Ping looked up and saw a girl coming in from the yamen, about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a moon-white padded jacket, a blue vest, and a red cloak. At first glance, she looked like a young lady from some family.

"Who are you? Why are you in this lobby?"
