Chapter 127 Alertness

Gu Chengjuan followed Gu Huayu and replied: "Yes, it seems that all the fingers are broken."

Gu Huayu's heart sank to the bottom, she turned around and ordered: "Second sister, go to Meiyuan quickly and get my medical box."

Gu Chengjuan nodded in agreement, turned around and walked downstairs.

Gu Huayu then warned: "Hurry, let Fugui drive you there."

"I know." Gu Chengjuan responded and ran downstairs quickly.

Gu Huayu entered the living room, and Gu Chengzhang turned to see her, stood up and stepped aside, "Xiaoyu is here, please help eldest sister quickly."

 Gu Huayu walked to the soft couch and grabbed Gu Chengjuan's hand. The shocking injuries made Gu Huayu take a breath. With just one glance, Gu Huayu knew that the middle finger, index finger and ring finger of Gu Chengjiao's hands were all clipped off.

Seeing the blood stains soaked in Gu Chengjiao's clothes, Gu Hua clenched her fists and said coldly: "Shopkeeper Wang will stay, and the rest of the people will leave first."

 Gu Chengzhang looked at Gu Chengjiao worriedly, walked out, took two steps, turned around and said to Gu Huayu, "Xiaoyu, I'm at the door. If you need anything, just call."

Gu Huayu nodded, "Okay, fourth brother, take them back first. Second sister is here, let her bring the medical box directly in."

"Girl..." Wang Qin said guiltily after Gu Chengzhang led the others to retreat.

 Gu Huayu asked while inspecting Gu Chengjiao's injuries: "Did they torture the eldest sister last night?"

Wang Qin lowered her head and replied: "Yes, last night, County Magistrate Chen ordered people to take Miss Cheng Jiao out. When Miss Cheng Jiao came back, this was the case."

Gu Huayu raised her head and asked, "Aren't you two locked up together?"

Shopkeeper Wang shook his head and said, "Yes, Miss Cheng Jiao is locked in the first room at the entrance, and I am locked in the fourth room at the entrance. They are opposite to Miss Cheng Jiao's room, with an aisle in the middle."

Gu Huayu nodded, "I understand, you can go out too."

Shopkeeper Wang wanted to stay and help, but when he saw that Gu Huayu didn't want to say anything more, he lowered his hand and left the room.

Soon, Gu Chengjuan opened the door and came in, "Xiaoyu, the medical kit is here."

Gu Huayu took the medical box and ordered: "Go and prepare some soft clothes for the eldest sister. If you don't understand, just ask Chuntang to prepare it. After it is ready, wait at the door. No one is allowed to come in and disturb me. ,Understand?"

Gu Chengjuan responded: "Okay, I understand. I promise not to let anyone in."

After Gu Chengjuan stepped back, Gu Huayu took out anesthetic from the space and injected it into Gu Chengjiao, then began to set her bones.

Outside the door, Gu Defang led the doctor and hurried over, but was stopped by Gu Chengjuan.

“Uncle, Xiaoyu is treating the elder sister. Xiaoyu explains that no one will come in and disturb her.”

The doctor said unhappily: "Brother, I have to pay a consultation fee whether I see a doctor or not."

Gu Chengjuan pouted and muttered: "I haven't seen a doctor yet, so why should I pay for the consultation?"

The doctor glanced sideways at Gu Chengjuan, raised his head and said, "I walked from the clinic and then back again. What was wasted was not time? Little girl, do you think I am as free as you?"

Gu Chengzhang hurriedly apologized and said: "Doctor, I'm sorry. My sister is young and ignorant. Her words offended me. Please forgive me. In this way, we will pay the doctor how much money it costs to go to the clinic."

The doctor's expression softened a lot. He looked at Gu Chengzhang and said, "This little brother is really reasonable. I won't ask for more, so just give me five hundred dollars."

Gu Chengjuan jumped to her feet and said: "Five hundred dollars? Do you think other people's money comes from the strong wind?"

The doctor turned to look at Gu Defang, pointed at Gu Chengjuan, shook his head and said, "Are you still being unreasonable?"

Gu Chengzhang pulled Gu Chengjuan behind him and apologized repeatedly: "My little sister is young and ignorant. Please forgive me, doctor."

With that said, Gu Chengzhang took out a piece of silver from his purse and handed it to the doctor, "Can you please run over to the doctor? Thank you very much."

Gu Chengjuan glanced at the silver in the doctor's hand, stretched out her hand to pull Gu Chengzhang's sleeve, and whispered: "Fourth brother, there is too much!"

Gu Chengzhang turned his head and winked at Gu Chengjuan, telling her to shut up.

The doctor weighed the money in his hand, bowed slightly and said, "Since you don't need me to see you, I'll go back."

Gu Defang leaned forward and said, "Doctor, please go slowly."

Gu Chengjuan looked at the doctor's back and said, "Fourth brother, you just let him go like this? You gave me about one or two pieces of silver, right?"

Gu Chengzhang glanced at Gu Chengjuan and said, "Forget it, harmony brings wealth."

Gu Chengjuan curled her lips and said: "Are you trying to make money by being friendly? You are a prodigal. Uncle, tell me, is the fourth brother a prodigal?"

Gu Defang also felt sorry for the money and nodded: "Brother Zhang is too loose, so it's not easy to earn money. We should give him a lot of what we should give. We don't need to give more to what we shouldn't. We don't have to waste money just to save face." "

Gu Chengjuan hummed and pursed her lips: "That's right!"

Gu Chengzhang lowered his hands and said, "Uncle, you have taught me a lesson, I won't do this next time."

Gu Defang looked at the living room and asked, "How long has it been since Xiaoyu came back?"

Gu Chengzhang replied: "It's been more than two quarters of an hour. Don't worry, uncle. Xiaoyu's medical skills are good and he will definitely cure my eldest sister. Third uncle and shopkeeper Huang are receiving Wang Xiancheng. Uncle, do you want to come and sit down?"

Gu Defang shook his head, "No, I am a farmer and I can't speak what is said on the table. I can't understand what they are saying. Let the third child take care of the guests. I will stay here to guard them."

Gu Chengjuan suddenly remembered Gu Huayu's explanation, patted her head and said, "It's done, Xiaoyu asked me to prepare a change of clothes for eldest sister."

With that said, Gu Chengjuan hurriedly went to look for Chuntang, "Fourth brother, you stay here and don't let anyone come in to disturb Xiaoyu."

Gu Chengzhang waved his hand and said: "Go quickly."

In the white jade hall downstairs, Wang Xiancheng is sitting at the top, shopkeeper Huang and Gu Dechang are sitting on the left and right to accompany him.

Wang Xian Cheng's face was full of joy. He held the wine glass and clinked it with shopkeeper Huang excitedly. "Let me tell you, Lao Huang, I have been in Shicheng for more than four years, and today I am most relieved. Come on, let's go together."

Shopkeeper Huang smiled apologetically and said, "Thanks to the county magistrate today. If it hadn't been for the county magistrate's mediation, how could the county magistrate let him go so readily? This glass of wine should be given to Huang by the county magistrate."

Wang Xian Cheng waved his hand, "You're welcome, Old Huang, how can we stand idly by while watching you being troubled by troubles between the two of us? This is not what a brother would do, nor what a gentleman would do!"

Wang Xiancheng waved his hands as he spoke, his words showing a hint of drunkenness.

Shopkeeper Huang stood up and poured wine for him, and echoed: "The county magistrate is a blessing to the people of Shicheng when he acts impartially. There are not many people that Huang admires in his life, but the county magistrate is someone Huang truly admires."

Wang Xian Cheng picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all, put the glass on the table, shook his head and said: "I won't mention it anymore. It has been more than four years. I have done a lot of things. I have no merit at all, but no fault." It’s all my own.”

Gu Dechang raised his glass and said: "I have never been an official. I have only seen the glory of becoming an official. Today I realize that the world is difficult and everyone has their own difficulties.

 Master Wang is a true gentleman. I am very grateful and admire you even more. Come, I'll take this cup to Mr. Wang. I'll drink it first as a token of respect. Mr. Wang is free to do as he pleases. "

 Gu Dechang's words touched Wang Xian Cheng's heart, and he raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass.

Shopkeeper Huang poured wine for the two of them and raised their glasses: "It is said that God is watching what people do, and there are gods three feet above the head. Everything Mr. Wang has done for the people will one day be seen. This glass of wine, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty.”

 Wang Xiancheng opened his chat box and told the two of his difficulties.

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Huang and Gu Dechang were filled with emotion and unworthiness, and every word of comfort struck the heart of Wang County Cheng.

As if he had met a close friend, Prime Minister Wang Xian talked non-stop for more than an hour, until he passed out drunk on the table.

 Shopkeeper Huang sent someone to take him back to his residence.

 Gu Dechang was concerned about Gu Chengjiao's injury, and immediately went to the second floor after seeing off Wang Xian Cheng.

Seeing Gu Defang, he hurriedly asked: "Brother, how is Xiaojiao?"

  Gu Defang shook his head, "Xiao Yu is inside, no one can come in and disturb her."

Gu Dechang looked at the closed door and asked, "Is Xiaoyu alone in there?"

Gu Chengzhang took the call and said, "Yes, Xiaoyu is here alone..."

Before Gu Chengzhang finished speaking, Gu Huayu's voice came from the room: "Second sister, bring in the eldest sister's clothes."

Gu Chengjiao hurriedly sent the clothes in.

After a while, the door opened and Gu Huayu came out and said, "Eldest sister's wound has been treated. You don't have to worry. Fourth brother comes with me to get the prescription and medicine. Uncle Huang, you are coming too. I have something to say with you." you say."

Gu Huayu went to the study and wrote a prescription for Gu Chengzhang.

 After Gu Chengzhang left, shopkeeper Huang asked: "What are your orders, girl?"

Gu Huayu thought for a while and said: "To create an accident, I want Chen Zhongping's legs, and the broken index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of Han Xinghua's hands. I will give them back to her using the same elder sister methods she used to deal with them."

Shopkeeper Huang looked at Gu Huayu in astonishment.

Gu Huayu asked: "What? Is it difficult?"

Shopkeeper Huang shook his head, "No, does this matter need to be delayed for a few days? Also, County Magistrate Chen..."

Gu Huayu said coldly: "He had his legs made by him. I want an extra leg from him, just for some interest. I am being kind to him by not taking his life."

Shopkeeper Huang looked at Gu Huayu in shock, "Did he do this to Mr.'s leg? This **** thing."

 Gu Huayu nodded and explained: "Zheng said that at a cultural gathering ten years ago, his father made him lose face, so he used despicable means to deal with him."

Shopkeeper Huang leaned forward and said, "I'll make arrangements right now."

The next day, County Magistrate Chen participated in the annual New Tasting Festival in Shicheng. He fell from a high platform and his legs were crushed by a huge wine jar.

On the night of Magistrate Chen’s accident, a cry like a slaughtering pig came from Aunt Xing’s yard.

Mrs. Zheng arrived with her maid and mother-in-law, and saw Aunt Xing lying on the bed with a pale face and crying.

Zheng asked: "Is she about to give birth?"

 Mr. Zhang stepped forward to take a look, shook her head and said, "Madam, Aunt Xing seems to have been frightened by something?"

Zheng glanced at the lost Aunt Xing, and said with a half-smile: "I have done too many things that I am sorry for."

Aunt Xing pointed out the window, "There's someone!"

Zheng turned to the maid and said, "Go and have a look."

The maid bowed her knees and replied shortly: "Go back to my wife, there is no one outside the window."

Aunt Xing wanted to speak, but Mrs. Zhang said first: "Even if there was someone before, it's time to run away now. How can we wait for someone to catch her?"

Aunt Xing cried and said, "I want to see the master."

Mrs. Zheng glanced at Aunt Xing and sneered: "The master injured his leg and is now lying on the bed unable to get up. However, I will pass on your words. As for whether the master will come to see you, I don't know. Keep an eye on her, The master needs to rest now, do you understand?"

The old lady bowed her knees and said, "Old slave, I understand."

Zheng didn't want to stay any longer and said, "Let's go."

Ms. Zheng turned around and left with her maid and mother-in-law.

Aunt Xing was so angry that she raised her hand to grab something and threw it out. However, she got pregnant and she quickly held her stomach in pain.

The woman who was guarding the door seemed not to notice, and allowed Aunt Xing to groan in pain in the room.

It was not until two hours later that the gatekeeper heard the child crying and came in to help.

 Mrs. Zhang received the letter, woke up Mrs. Zheng, and reported: "Madam, Aunt Xing has given birth to a boy."

Mrs. Zheng stared at the tent roof, and after a while she said: "Have someone bring the child to the main hall and let the wet nurse take care of him. I'll send him away early tomorrow morning. By the way, the master's injury can't be delayed. Let's have someone pack the boxes and cages." Let’s leave for Hongcheng tomorrow.”

"I am going to Hongcheng to attend the birthday banquet of Mrs. Tai in the past two days, and the boxes and cages that need to be collected have already been packed away. But, the master has left, what will happen to the official affairs of the county government?" asked Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zheng looked at Mrs. Zhang and said slowly: "There is no county magistrate in the county government office, and there is also a county magistrate.

Furthermore, look at the master’s leg being injured like this, how can he still have an official career? "

Zheng sighed heavily when she said this, waved her hands and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore.

When they are collecting the boxes, you should keep an eye on them and take away all the things you can. If you can't take them away, they may sell them or give them away. You can see what happens. Over at Zhuangzi's shop, I have already told Lao Qian to take care of it. "

Mrs. Zhang looked at Mrs. Zheng in shock, "Madam, if we leave Shicheng, we will never come back?"

"What? Are you reluctant to part with it?" Zheng asked, looking up.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "No, I just thought it was too sudden. Madam, my legs are fine...how could I fall from the high platform? And I was pressed by the wine jar..."

Zheng stared at Granny Zhang and asked, "What do you mean?"

 Mr. Zhang met Zheng's gaze and said softly: "Old slave, I think it's too coincidental. Could it be that the Gu family did it?"

Zheng's heart was agitated. She was silent for a while, then shook her head and said, "Probably not. The Gu family didn't know about what happened ten years ago."

 Mr. Zhang nodded, "Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Zheng glanced at Granny Zhang and said, "I don't blame you for thinking too much. Everything happened so suddenly and coincidentally.

 At dawn, have someone go to the place where the accident occurred to see if there is anything unusual. "

Mrs. Zhang bent her knees and said, "Okay, I understand."

Zheng Zheng waved her hand and said, "Go down."

 Mr. Zhang took the order and retreated. Mrs. Zheng was leaning on the bed, not knowing where the focus was. She was thinking about what Mrs. Zhang said in her mind, "Did the Gu family do this?"

 At first, Zheng didn’t think much about it. Mrs. Zhang's reminder made her feel alert.
