Chapter 318 The Yamen Runners Are Here
Fan Xiaoliu and Wu Gouzheng were the quickest to buy medicine.
The two of them almost jogged all the way. The weather had turned cold at the end of October, and the two of them wearing thin shirts were sweating all over.
"Uncle Ding, here! Can you see if the hemostatic powder is ready?" Wu Goucheng asked while gasping for air while handing over the backpack containing the medicine.
Ding Heli quickly took it and checked it again, "OK! I'll call out names according to severity. Don't push around and give in. Whoever is called will come first!"
He had simply bandaged the injured person before, and the bleeding was now very small. The ointment was mainly used to prevent the wound from getting worse, suppurating, and causing heat later.
The injured man came forward obediently and sat in a circle, waiting for his name to be called without any hurry or impatience.
Li Wen walked up to Fan Xiaoliu and Wu Goucheng, and the two of them immediately winked at him. Li Wen understood, and deliberately asked in a loud voice that Fan Qian and his son could hear from a distance: "How much did this medicine cost?" Is there any money left?”
"Brother Li, you don't know, this medicine is so expensive! Not to mention the leftovers, if the drug store shopkeeper hadn't applied a fraction, he would have had to add several cents in supplements!" Fan Xiaoliu said loudly.
The other men said with joy on their faces: "Fortunately, Uncle Ding found the silver. Otherwise, if we had to pay for it ourselves, we would have to sell several batches of rabbits, right?"
"Yes, it's all these people who did the evil anyway. Just asking them to pay for the medicine is an advantage to them!"
"I can't wait to chop them more times!"
The gangsters who were tied to the ground were frightened and angry when they heard this. Their money came from something shady and they couldn't explain it to the government officials later. It was just right for them to take it so they could complain to the government officials and get it back later when they found an opportunity!
Fan Erzhu squatted on the roadside and shouted to his father and younger brother on the left and right sides: "I originally thought that Fan Xiaoliu and Wu Gouchen were honest and knowledgeable, but now it seems that they are also full of bad ideas!
How could you spend so much money on medicine? They must still be hiding it, they are so vicious, they even earn money to buy medicine. "
Fan Sanzhu hummed, his eyes burning as he thought it was his father and second brother's fault for putting aside their relationship first, otherwise wouldn't the job of buying medicine fall on him?
That's dozens of taels of silver. If he keeps half of it, he'll be rich immediately!
Then he thought of the dozen knives that were thrown into the river, and sighed sadly: "There are so many knives, even if you dislike them, you can sell them to make money. It's really a fool's errand to throw them all into the river. In this weather You can’t even fish it out.”
"Who says it's not? It's bad, it's stupid, it's stupid!" Fan Erzhu rolled his eyes, wishing he didn't make the decision.
When Ding Heli finally applied medicine to Hu Wenhua, everyone knew that he was also injured!
Fan Jin nervously stepped forward to check, and Ding Heli comforted him: "It's okay, the incision isn't too deep. Just apply the medicine and go back without touching the water or using any force."
Hu Wenhua's stab wound spanned the entire back and was long. How could it not hurt? But he couldn't hold back and didn't say a word.
The more determined a person is, the easier it is not to take the wound seriously. No matter which arm is used to apply force on the wound on his back, otherwise the wound that has finally scabbed will easily burst open. If the incision opens repeatedly, it will bleed. suppuration.
"Okay, I won't let him use force for this period of time. I will let my father-in-law and mother-in-law keep an eye on him." Fan Jin promised warmly.
Ding Heli thought that he was in the medicinal shop every day, and could keep an eye on him while changing his dressing every day.
A smile appeared on Hu Wenhua's lips, feeling that his brother-in-law and Uncle Ding were taking him too seriously.
It wasn't until Ding Heli applied medicine and bandaged all the injured, and waited for a long time, that the government officials, led by Xu Laosan Li Wu, arrived belatedly.
The leader of the government officials kicked the gangsters on the ground, picked a few and removed the rags from their mouths. Before he could start questioning, the people on the ground screamed for injustice.
"Master! We were wronged. We didn't do anything. We were just passing by, and these people kidnapped us. You must make the decision for us."
"They also injured our brothers, it's so lawless!"
"We were hit by floods. We are already poor and have no money at all. How can we be gangsters? They are more like gangsters!"
The yamen servant was not a man of his own, so he only glanced at Li Wen and asked, "Where is your road guide?"
In the past, guides were only needed when traveling far away, but after the floods, the number of people displaced by the disaster increased. In order not to affect the people of Quang Ninh Province entering and exiting the city, Magistrate Ng stipulated that guides must be provided.
This was something he would bring with him every time he entered the city. Li Wen quickly took it out and handed it over respectfully.
The yamen officer quickly scanned it up and down. When he saw that there was no problem, he kicked the person who complained about the injustice and cursed: "Let you frame people with red lips and white teeth! I am stupid or blind!"
"Okay, aren't you saying that you are unjust? Then take out the road guide! Even if there is no road guide, tell me where I live, who my surname is, and who is the guarantor?"
Fan Xiaoliu was smart and quickly presented the exquisite and luxurious purse that he had found on them before, and said respectfully: "Master, this is what they carried. We don't think it is theirs. There is only a little bit of silver left in it." , because they injured our people, they used the little money to buy medicine.”
He pointed to a few men who were obviously bandaged and continued: "Look, the little bit of silver is not enough, we have to add a few more pennies! These people are so ruthless!"
The yamen servant originally wanted to make some money, but when he heard that he had to buy medicine for a little money, especially because the medicine money was not enough, he had no choice but to give up.
He lowered his head and looked at the beautifully embroidered purse in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the happier he felt!
The opportunity to make a contribution has arrived!
During this period, several wealthy households in the city were robbed, and Magistrate Wu was in a state of distress. He was worried that he could not give an explanation. Their government officials did not have enough manpower - even if they had enough, who would be willing to fight those refugees!
They were a group of desperate criminals who were living from day to day without food. They had good food and clothes and lived a comfortable life. Why did they bother to suffer?
This group of people just solved their urgent needs.
He looked down at the more than 30 people who were tied up tightly and smiled, "Well, several wealthy families in the city were robbed a few days ago. It turns out that you are the culprit.
It's really easy to find it without any effort!"
The people who cried out for injustice before were stunned in place, and then reacted and cried out for injustice with tears: "Sir, we didn't.
We only dared to rob passers-by on the road. We have never entered the city, and we can't enter."
"We have heard about what happened in the city. They have more people than us, and their methods are more brutal. They are not our group at all. Sir, please be clear!"
This time it was really wronged, and even the man with rags stuffed in his mouth at the back made a humming sound.
"Stop talking nonsense! We have evidence. Let's go to the government office and see whether the torture instruments are stronger or your words are stronger!"
"Take them away!"
The guards rushed forward and took the tightly tied bandits away.
After a while, Boss Xu asked in a daze: "Why do I feel that this group of people is not the same group as the official?"
