Chapter 639 Aftermath
After Tu Rong arrived at the scene, he quickly took over the overall situation.

He ordered the people he brought to take over Kan Jinbao, tie him up with ropes again, return the horsewhip to the Hai brothers and sisters and Zhou Xiaojian, and find a doctor to bandage the injured and apply medicine. Even Kan Jinbao's disheveled wife and her adulterer "Wang Lang" were allowed to go into the house, dress neatly, and then come out to receive treatment.

Tu Rong himself called over the two personal soldiers who were responsible for guarding his son Tu Jinbao and asked them about the matter in detail. Then he turned around and whipped his son three times without saying a word.

Tu Jinbao was still thinking about pleading for Kan Jinbao in front of his father, but before he could open his mouth, he was whipped three times. The pain made him cry and he couldn't help but cry out: "Dad, why are you hitting me?! What did I do wrong?!"

Tu Rong sneered: "How dare you ask me? You don't even know what you did wrong?! Go home and reflect on yourself!"

Tu Jinbao said with great pain: "I won't go back! I have something to tell you! Dad, Brother Kan..." Just as he started to say this, Tu Rong could no longer bear it and pushed his son in front of several other personal soldiers and directly ordered: "Take him back and lock him up in the stable. Don't let him out without my permission!"

Tu Jinbao was taken away while struggling by several personal soldiers. Someone was responsible for covering his mouth to prevent him from shouting out something inappropriate in front of so many people and letting everyone know that he was a fool.

Tu Rong watched his son being taken away, and then he went to meet the carriage that had been parked in front of the tea shop for a while: "Ma Shangyi is here? The Jin family's brother is safe and sound, and the Hai family's brother protects him very well."

Ma Shangyi lifted the curtain and glanced at him. "Guard Lin just came over and told me where my brother is now. He hurt his elbow. I want to take him back to apply medicine."

Tu Rong really didn't know that Jin Jiashu was injured, but seeing that he was moving normally, he thought it was just a minor injury, so he didn't take it seriously: "The Jin family brother is with the Hai family brothers and sisters, they are all in the backyard."

Ma Shangyi turned around and motioned Chunyu to help her get out of the car. Accompanied by Tu Rong, she walked towards the backyard of the tea shop.

In the backyard, Wang Niangzi, the owner of the tea shop who had just arrived after hearing the news, was hugging her brother and crying. Her brother had just bandaged his wounds. He was stabbed twice on the shoulder, once on the arm and once on the back. He was a bloody man before changing his clothes. Although she knew that the four knives were because her brother had cheated on someone else's wife, it did not stop her from cursing Kan Jinbao, who was tied up tightly, and occasionally mentioned Kan Jinbao's wife. Don't think that they are best friends in the eyes of outsiders, but that is actually a trick. She has never been close to Kan Jinbao's wife. She was just covering up her brother's affair.

Kan Jinbao was so angry that his hair stood on end, but he was tied up tightly, and there were four strong men around him who were responsible for watching him. He could not even struggle, so he could only rage helplessly. However, his wife, who was also scolded, was another story.

Kan Jinbao's wife had just heard her husband say that he wanted to divorce her, and her lover Wang Lang had clearly said that he would not be with her anymore. Now she couldn't even find a new place to stay in Chang'an, let alone a living in the future. After being insulted by the tea shop owner Wang Niangzi for a long time, she could no longer suppress her anger and sneered, "Do you think your brother is a great man? He is just a womanizer. Without women, how could he be where he is today? I used to think that he really climbed to his current high position with his own ability, and I thought he could lead me to a good life! I didn't expect that he was actually a waste! If I had known this, I would not have been with him! Why are you crying? I should be crying! If he hadn't deliberately seduced me, how could I end up in this situation today?!"

"Bah!" Madam Wang jumped up and pointed at her nose and cursed, "Bitch, don't try to throw dirty water on my brother! It was obviously you who seduced him! Of course my brother relied on his real ability. If he had been promoted by relying on the relationship of his in-laws, how could he only be a fifth-rank official today? He would have been a commander long ago!"

Kan Jinbao's wife rolled her eyes and said with amusement, "His father-in-law is only a deputy commander. Why can he bypass his father-in-law to become a commander?!" She paused, "But it's possible. After all, he has several mistresses who are wives of generals. Who knows, one of them might be coaxed by him and whisper in her husband's ear. Do you want me to tell Tu Tongzhi and ask those wives?"

"Wang Lang"'s face changed: "Shut up! Are you crazy?!" Kan Jinbao's wife spat at him: "I have been crazy for a long time! How dare you throw all the dirty water on me?! Something happened today, who do you expect to hide it from?! If I can't live well, you can't live well either!"

"Wang Lang" was so anxious that he was about to pounce on him and hit him again, but was stopped by Tu Rong's personal soldiers.

At this time, Tu Rong happened to walk into the backyard with Ma Shangyi. When he heard their conversation, his face turned black on the spot. He was a new outsider in the Northwest Frontier Army, and there were some scandals that he absolutely could not expose!

He ordered his men: "Gag this pair of bastards and take them back to the government office for punishment! No matter who comes to plead for mercy, tell him to come see me first!"

The people around him responded and went to get the man. Kan Jinbao's wife refused and struggled desperately.

Haitang, who had been watching the show for a long time and enjoying her melon, kindly reminded her: "So many people heard what you just said. Be careful that the wives of the generals get the news and come to silence you. If you just follow Tu Tongzhi back to the Dusi Yamen, maybe you will be safer."

Kan Jinbao's wife froze, regretting that she had said too much and said something she shouldn't have said in a fit of anger. However, she took Haitang's words to heart and followed Tu Rong's soldiers obediently, unlike her lover "Wang Lang", who struggled even harder, and it was unknown whether he was afraid of something.

Tu Rong looked at the man and woman being taken away with a cold face, and turned back to look at Haitang. However, after Haitang reminded Kan Jinbao's wife, she retreated behind her brother. Haijiao covered up for his younger sister like a brother, and smiled at Tu Rong: "General Tu, your son was really too reckless today!" Then he began to change the subject and told him all the stupid things Tu Jinbao had done today.

Tu Rong had actually heard about what happened from his personal soldiers, but he was still patient and listened to Hai Jiao's story again. Ma Shangyi, who was standing by, looked at Jin Jiashu with concern to make sure he was safe and sound, while paying attention to Hai Jiao's narration. The more she listened, the uglier her expression became.

She originally thought that Tu Jinbao could be friends because he grew up in a village in Zhili, and his living environment was similar to Jin Jiashu's. She also thought that Jin Jiashu could get in touch with the Tu family. But she never thought that Tu Jinbao would be such a reckless and ignorant fool! Fortunately, the Hai family brothers and sisters were here today, and Zhou Xiaojian and the Tu family soldiers were loyal and brave enough. Otherwise, if something happened to Jin Jiashu, wouldn't she be the culprit who killed him?!
At this point, Tu Jinbao still wanted to plead for Kan Jinbao and to smooth over the whole thing. Is that possible? In his mind, a friend he had just met for a few days was really so important that he didn't care about the fact that he almost died, nor what the soldiers who were injured to save him would think?
How can such a person be worthy of being Jin Jiashu's friend? !

Ma Shangyi was secretly angry as she listened. When she heard how Haitang attacked Kan Jinbao and successfully subdued him in an instant, a strange expression appeared on her face.

She turned her head to look at the bound Kan Jinbao. Even though he was being forced to kneel on the ground, she could still tell that he was a tall, strong and tough man. She looked back at the delicate and frail Haitang behind Haijiao. She could not imagine how the other party had knocked Kan Jinbao down.

But no one looked surprised when they heard Haijiao's words, it didn't seem like a lie.

Ma Shangyi couldn't help but doubt her life. Was she dreaming?
