Chapter 461: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape
Chapter 461: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape
No matter how hard Zhou Naian defended himself, his two sons disappeared. His wife was so grief-stricken that she wanted to go back to find her sons, but the leader of the guards accidentally injured her leg.
The wife didn't want her body to be wasted by these beasts, so she jumped off a cliff and died.
In the end, only Zhou Naian and his concubine Liu were left.
The reason for keeping him was that he would be useful in registering his residence in Danshan; as for Liu, a weak woman, one can imagine what would happen to her.
He has been almost tortured to death by those beasts and is not far from death.
After listening to Zhou Naian's story, Zhang Tongyi did not agree. He did not think that just a few brothers could kill a dozen guards.
But Zhou Naian said he had a knockout drug that he could put in the water the guards were going to drink, and then all they would have to do was help them kill that group of people.
The knockout drug does not take effect immediately. Zhou Naian was worried that the guards would find out before they fell down and would kill him first, so he wanted to find someone for help.
Zhang Tongyi felt that this could be done in order to ensure the proper resettlement of his brothers and children in Danshan.
So, after Zhou Naian succeeded, he immediately gave Zhang Tongyi a signal.
Zhang Tongyi asked his wife and children to rush five miles ahead. If they couldn't wait for them before dark, they should stop waiting. Then he and his brothers rushed into the swaying guard team.
But he didn't know what happened. After a while of fighting, they also became weak. He didn't even know how they were attacked.
Then both sides fell to the ground.
What happens next is something that Gu Mancang and the others all know.
After listening to this, Gu Li asked in confusion: "Who killed the two people in the carriage?"
Zhang Tongyi did not ignore Gu Li and answered her, "We did not kill the people in the carriage. But when we fell, I heard the woman's screams and Magistrate Zhou's roars from the carriage. But Magistrate Zhou's voice soon fell silent, while the woman cried and howled for a long time before she gradually died."
Gu Li recalled what she saw when she opened the car curtain.
The woman was lying in the innermost part of the carriage in dishevel, holding a ruby-studded dagger in her hand (which was now hidden in Gu Li's small bag). There was a hole in the woman's abdomen and below, and her lower body was soaked with blood.
As for County Magistrate Zhou, he fell near the door of the carriage with a cut on his neck. Blood flowed through the gaps in the wooden boards and onto the ground, wetting a large area.
Zhou Naian, who thought he had found a new guard, was unwilling to take Liu, who had lost her virginity, with him and wanted to kill her. However, Liu, who had been prepared, killed her instead.
Or the kind that kills with one blow.
Never underestimate women!
But there is still one question that Gu Li hasn’t figured out, why did Zhang Tongyi and the others also fall into the trap?
Zhou Naian, who was weak and helpless, must have planned to go with Zhang Tongyi and the others. It didn't make sense that he would also be drugged!
Could it be that Zhou Naian was worried that Zhang Tongyi and the others would find out that he had eaten his own child's broth, so he simply drugged both groups of people?
After both teams fell down after fighting, he got out of the car and harvested everyone's heads?
Gu Li couldn't help but start thinking conspiracy theories.
This Zhou Naian is really vicious.
Zhang Tongyi and his friends were also troubled by this problem. They didn't even eat with the guards, so how did they get caught?
Soon, they had their answer.
When we found the aunts from the escort agency, they were lying neatly on the grass by the roadside, motionless.
It’s exactly the same as the situation with Chinese medicine that Zhang Tongyi and his team had experienced before.
Women and children do not have as strong bodies as men. After Zhang Tongyi and his men found them, the people on the ground could barely move their fingers.
Several people worked together to move them to the back of a safer slope.
"What happened? How come you were also drugged?" Hua Qiangsheng carefully recalled everything that happened after he met Zhou Naian and his group today.
As if he had thought of something, he paused, "It's the concubine of the dog official!"
Hua Qiangsheng turned his head and looked at his wife, "After Zhou Naian left, his concubine also came here. What did she come to see you for?"
Hua Qiangsheng's wife looked a little unnatural, her lips moved a few times but no sound came out.
Hua Qiangsheng said coldly, "Hurry up and tell me, we were almost killed!"
"She, she came to me to exchange silver for her menstrual belt." Aunt Bai shuddered at the yelling, "She said that she had lochia and her skirt was stained with blood. The skin exposed outside was blue and purple. I felt sorry for her, so, so-----
It was obvious that the concubine approached her on purpose. Would the county magistrate's concubine not even have a menstrual belt? Even if she didn't, she could make dozens of clothes by cutting a piece of clothing.
Is it necessary to borrow from the village women?
And showing the scars on your body?
He simply wanted to take advantage of the sympathy of these women, lower their defenses, and achieve his own goals.
Hua Qiangsheng closed his eyes and asked, "You let her get close to our food?"
"I, I, when she came to find me, I was cooking wild vegetable soup!" Aunt Bai closed her eyes and blurted out everything, with tears falling down.
At this point, everyone understood that they were targeted by the concubine.
When the concubine came over, several men were gathered together discussing the action and only glanced at the woman who could be blown down by a gust of wind.
Who would have thought.
Aunt Bai began to sob.
She almost killed everyone, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became.
Even if some people around wanted to give some advice, they were all almost dead, and their throats were dry and they didn't know what to say.
Gu Li couldn't bear it. Aunt Bai was a nice person and had always taken good care of her.
"Uncle Hua, this is not all Aunt Bai's fault. She may have done it on purpose but it was unintentional. The concubine was looking for the person who was cooking the soup at that time. If it wasn't Aunt Bai, it could have been someone else."
Hua Qiangsheng breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Gu Li with gratitude. "It was your aunt who was so kind that she almost hurt everyone. I want to apologize to all the brothers, sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law here."
He knew the whole story, but he was worried that if he didn't show everyone his attitude, it would create a rift.
Now that Gu Li has cooperated to make this matter go away, he is extremely grateful in his heart.
"It's also thanks to Mancang who arrived in time. God deliberately arranged for me to escape death!" Zhang Tongyi immediately tried to smooth things over.
At this time, Gu Li asked again: "But why did Magistrate Zhou's concubine drug you as well?"
The fatal problem just now was promptly addressed by Gu Li, and everyone fell into deep thought again.
Does County Magistrate Zhou know about the concubine's behavior?
Did she do it on her own initiative, or was she instructed by County Magistrate Zhou?
If it was Magistrate Zhou who ordered it, then it was most likely what Gu Li had guessed before, that Magistrate Zhou was a sinister person who wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife and then get rid of the donkey after it had done its job!
"That damn official is such a scoundrel. He even took us into account! I should have been the first one to chop him to pieces!" Liu Tietou clenched his fist in hatred.
Gu Li turned her head to look at Uncle Tietou, who was as burly as an iron tower, and suddenly thought of another possibility.
For some people, living is more painful than dying!
