Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

Chapter 37: The Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger of the Zhang Family

The Hu family probably foresaw this, which made Hu Juan heartbroken.

Zhou Xiucai looked at him with a sharp gaze and asked, "What are your plans?"

Zhang Laoer pondered for a moment, looked at Zhou Xiucai, and his tone revealed an imperceptible trust: "Since Mr. Zhou asked, he must be willing to help. Could you please introduce me to the Cheng Mansion to visit the old lady? Maybe I can find a way to cure her of the poison."

Mr. Zhou looked hesitant. "The Cheng family has already visited famous doctors in Chengguan County, and they are even planning to go to Qingzhou Prefecture to invite experts. Do you really think you can be better than those experienced doctors?"

When Xiao Youniang heard someone questioning her father, she hurriedly took out the last nourishing pill left for her by Zhang Laoer from her bosom and carefully handed it to Zhou Xiucai.

This is the only product left from the last drug making. Considering the weak body of the young girl, Zhang Laoer was worried that she would starve and harm her body, so he kept it specially for emergency use.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Youniang, who had been keeping it as a treasure and reluctant to take it, took it out without hesitation at this moment: "This is the medicine made by my father himself, it is very magical! The grandparents in the village all said it was good after eating it, one pill is worth a hundred coins!"

Mr. Zhou took the pill, half believing and half doubting, but also curious. He had some knowledge of pharmacology, so he used the knife he carried with him to gently cut off a small corner and put it on his tongue to taste it carefully.

For a moment, a look of surprise crossed his face.

Although there are many medicinal ingredients in this pill, they are perfectly matched together. The use of medicine is bold and novel. After the various herbs are combined with each other, the efficacy increases exponentially, which is really rare!

Zhou Xiucai's eyes suddenly lit up, as if the morning light penetrated the mist and brought an unexpected light to this dark corner.

He once again carefully looked at the man in front of him who seemed thin but revealed an extraordinary temperament, and felt more and more that the Zhang family was unfathomable and full of hidden talents.

This pill, which is gleaming with a faint luster, is undoubtedly the best proof of Zhang Laoer's superb skills.

Mr. Zhou nodded slightly, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he promised to lend a helping hand to Zhang Laoer so that he could enter the Cheng Mansion to diagnose and treat the old lady who had been ill for a long time.

But he did not forget to draw a line in his words, and his tone was firm and unquestionable: "This help is my last help. In the future, the Zhang family will have to rely on their own abilities to make their own way."

Zhang Laoer agreed readily upon hearing this, and Xiao Youniang beside him also nodded firmly.

"We will not disappoint you and will definitely rescue our mother!"

After the agreement, Zhang Laoer searched carefully and finally chose an inn that was unremarkable on the outside but fairly clean on the inside, and asked for two quiet rooms for their group.

At this critical moment of rescuing Li Yun, he did not dare to be careless at all and decided not to let the children return to Zhangjia Village for the time being, but to arrange for them to stay outside to ensure their safety.

As night fell, the little girl curled up on the soft pillow of the inn. In this moment that should have been full of joy, her heart was filled with lingering sadness and longing.

In the past nights, her mother's gentle embrace and familiar breath always accompanied her to her dreams.

Now that her mother is not around, she feels sad.

Little girl's tears slid silently, wetting a corner of the pillow.

At the same time, in prison, Xu Liyun just ended the fight with the last prisoner in the same cell with a clean punch.

She snatched the precious straw from the other person's hand and barely laid it under her thin body, trying to alleviate the discomfort caused by the hard ground.

"Oh, this treatment is really disappointing." She complained in a low voice, then closed her tired eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The other six female prisoners in the cell, all with bruised faces and noses, huddled in a corner, their eyes filled with fear and regret.

They could never have imagined that this seemingly ordinary woman was such a powerful character. For a moment, they all regretted how stupid they could be to get involved with such a "tough character".

Outside the high walls, the jailers who turned a deaf ear to the noise in the women's prison just exchanged lazy glances, but deep in their hearts there was an imperceptible disdain and indifference.

To them, as long as no one is killed, any dispute in the cell is nothing more than a boring pastime among prisoners.

After all, in this locked cell with iron bars, all the female prisoners imprisoned with Xu Liyun were women who had once been famous in the outside world.

The new faces could not escape the fate of being bullied by this group of old prisoners who were as ferocious as wolves and tigers.

Everyone originally thought that Xu Liyun was so thin and frail that she could only barely survive one day in prison.

However, fate seemed to favor reversals, and Xu Liyun showed amazing strength in the forced confrontation.

At first, the six men were full of contempt and calculation, trying to seize the food rations of the seemingly fragile new prisoner.

Unexpectedly, the six people rushed forward, but were unable to break through Xu Liyun's swift and accurate slap. Instead, they were shocked and staggered back with looks of surprise on their faces.

What is even more amazing is that in the interval of the extremely fierce fight, Xu Liyun remained calm, holding the bowl with one hand and continuing to fight the enemy with the other hand. The hot porridge in the bowl did not spill at all, and she drank it mouthful after mouthful, calmly and confidently.

After a fight, the six female prisoners completely surrendered to Xu Liyun and no longer had any arrogance.

The jailers were chatting and laughing during their leisure time at night, and inadvertently reported this legendary scene to their superiors.

Soon, Xu Liyun's extraordinary deeds reached the ears of County Magistrate Long Yi.

Long Yi, a burly official, often appears in neat official uniform, and his every move exudes a majesty that cannot be violated.

At this moment, he was discussing in depth the complicated and difficult case of the Cheng family with the county magistrate in the quiet study.

"In my opinion, this is clearly a play directed and performed by the Cheng brothers in order to fight for the family property! Hu Bin and Xu Liyun have no grudges against these two people, so why did they suffer such a frame-up for no reason?"

Long Yi's voice was deep and powerful, revealing unquestionable firmness.

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate looked helpless and replied, "Your Excellency is right, but in the absence of solid evidence, we cannot conclude that the two are innocent based on speculation alone."

"The Cheng family acted quickly and had already dealt with the servants who knew about the situation. Even the key physical evidence - the tiger skin - was destroyed without a trace. It is not easy for us to find out the truth."

The county magistrate's complaint revealed the many difficulties in investigating the case.

This situation also made Long Yi frown.

Ever since he came to this remote Chengguan County, although he strived for fairness and justice in every case he faced, the affairs of the Cheng family were like a thorn that was difficult to remove.

There are reports that the Cheng family has directly submitted a letter to the capital, intending to use the power of a powerful fifth-rank official to put pressure on Long Yi.

However, Long Yi had offended many important officials of the court because of his fearlessness of power, and was demoted to this remote place.
