Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Gao Qiang mistakenly thought that the crisis was over and was about to draw his sword to fight back, but he didn't know that Xiao Zhixue was prepared and hit him on the head with a lightning-fast fist. Suddenly, Gao Qiang saw stars in front of his eyes, felt dizzy, and his steps were unsteady, and he almost fell down.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Zhixue took advantage of the situation and kicked Gao Qiang out like a rag doll, saying coldly, "Go back and tell your mayor that if he dares to harass us again, I will flatten his mansion next time!"

Gao Qiang lay on the ground, not daring to resist. He could only hold the wound on his neck and climb up with difficulty. He kept cursing and vowing revenge: "Just wait, I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

However, Xiao Zhixue seemed to be deaf to his words and just focused on wiping the blood off the weapon in her hand, moving calmly.

Then, she turned to the villagers of Shangqiao Village and announced firmly: "Today, we will move into Jinguan Town and see what that cowardly mayor can do to us!"

The villagers of Shangqiao Village expressed their support for Xiao Zhixue's decision. After all, even twenty well-trained officers could not do anything to her, so a mere mayor would naturally not dare to act rashly.

With Xiao Zhixue by their side, they felt safe and no longer had any fear.

Xiao Zhixue, who had no intention of staying here, changed her mind because of this unexpected incident. In particular, when she thought of the engagement with the mayor's daughter mentioned by Xiao Yuyan, this special relationship aroused her curiosity and interest in meeting the mayor in person.

It was noon and a group of people lit a bonfire on the street and prepared to cook.

Those people who originally gathered to watch the excitement gradually dispersed after they found that there were no new plays to watch.

Fan Yanmu and his followers quietly left the crowd and chose to hide in the teahouse opposite, silently observing the development of the situation.

……

At the same time, inside the mayor's mansion, the officers who had escaped were scrambling to report the thrilling scene that had happened today. After hearing this, the mayor was furious and slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground. The sound of porcelain breaking echoed in the lobby.

"You bunch of losers can't even handle a little girl!"

His eyes widened with anger, and he scanned the officer in front of him with a sharp gaze, "Where's Gao Qiang? Did you leave him there alone?"

The officers looked at each other and no one dared to respond.

In that emergency situation, they really had no choice but to make the choice. The mysterious Beggar Gang master was extremely powerful. If they didn't retreat in time, Gao Qiang might really die on the spot.

Gao Qiang covered his neck where blood was oozing out, staggering like a candle in the wind, with one arm hanging weakly, as if he had lost all life.

The mayor witnessed this scene, and his heart was immediately gnawed by anxiety and worry. He turned around and gave an urgent order to the nervous housekeeper beside him: "Immediately, ask the best doctor in town to come to the mansion, without any delay!"

Gao Qiang is not only a resident of the town, but also the cousin of the mayor's wife. If the frail lady gets to know about this, it will undoubtedly cause a huge uproar, disturbing the already uneasy home and possibly aggravating the lady's condition. This is absolutely not allowed.

The officers were all shocked when they received the mayor's stern secret order. They promised in unison, "Don't worry, sir. We will never leak a single word of this matter and ensure the lady's safety."

Everyone knows that the mayor's wife is a tough person, and if she were to notice the disturbance behind the scenes, the consequences would be unpredictable.

The doctor rushed over and after an examination, he found that fortunately Gao Qiang only had a superficial abrasion on his neck, but the fracture of his arm was complicated and required careful treatment and long-term care.

After a busy period, the doctor carefully instructed the housekeeper: "This bone-setting medicine needs to be taken three times a day for three consecutive months, and the bones will gradually heal. Remember, do not stop taking it, and the diet should also be light."

After saying this, the doctor picked up his medicine box and left in a hurry, leaving a heavy atmosphere in the room.

The mayor dismissed the crowd around him, leaving Gao Qiang alone in the room.

Gao Qiang was so angry that he fell heavily into the chair, with anger and unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

Not long after, a servant carefully brought a bowl of hot tea. Gao Qiang almost snatched the bowl, his Adam's apple rolling, and swallowed hard, as if it could quench the rage in his heart.

"Brother-in-law, I will make that beggar girl who dared to hurt me pay the price. I will kill her with my own hands to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Gao Qiang's voice trembled slightly with excitement. As he finished speaking, the teacup in his hand was suddenly thrown out and hit the table hard. In an instant, porcelain pieces flew everywhere and tea spilled everywhere.

Gao Qiang usually relies on her cousin's status and is always disrespectful to the mayor, even a little contemptuous.

The mayor's official position was secured thanks to the influence of the Gao family.

At this moment, facing Gao Qiang's impulsive behavior, although the mayor was furious, he had to suppress it. He understood that relying on the power of the Gao family over the years, many things had been successfully resolved. He had to endure today's matter temporarily.

It was a time of turmoil and disasters occurred frequently. Jinguan Town, as a relatively peaceful place, attracted many displaced refugees.

The mayor had a plan in mind, and instructed his servants to collect so-called resettlement fees from these refugees in an attempt to reduce the economic burden on the town.

If the refugees are unable to pay, they are advised to find another place to live to avoid over-consumption of town resources.

However, today's harvest was not satisfactory, and the amount of silver the officers brought back was pitifully small, barely enough for a meal.

The mayor was deeply dissatisfied with this and frowned. He immediately ordered to strengthen the collection efforts in an attempt to quickly resolve the problem.

Unexpectedly, this move caused a stir. A refugee who dared to disobey his orders appeared. He not only refused to pay the fees, but also accidentally injured Gao Qiang.

As the mayor, how can you keep your dignity? How can you tolerate such humiliation?

He pursed his lips tightly, and with a cold look in his eyes, he made a promise to Gao Qiang: "This person must be eliminated, and it must be done quietly without causing any trouble."

Hearing this, Gao Qiang raised his lips with a confident and cunning smile: "Brother-in-law, don't worry. After the matter is accomplished, there will be good news."

After he finished speaking, he turned and strode away, planning to carry out his plan under the cover of night. At the same time, he secretly deployed spies to keep a close eye on the movements of Xiao Zhixue and the villagers.

On the other side, after dinner, Xiao Zhixue gently took out several rare herbs from the space ring she carried with her and put them one by one into the bubbling medicine pot.

During this time, she carefully took out a snake gall of dark color.

Xiao Tingrui, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise: "Little sister, isn't this the gallbladder of that giant venomous snake? What's the point of keeping it?"

He originally thought that after the fierce battle with the giant snake in the mountains that day, the snake gall had long been discarded. He never expected that his sister was so thoughtful and actually kept such a precious thing.
