Chapter 309 Tattoo
Let’s talk about Yingbao,
When we slowly walked to Fucheng in an ox cart, it was already dark.
Although she was anxious, there was nothing she could do.
After entering the city, we went straight to Wen's house.
When Mrs. Wen and Wen Shu saw Ying Bao, they almost cried with joy.
"Ying Bao, are you injured?"
Ying Bao showed her wrist to Mrs. Wen and wrote a few words: "They bled me."
Wen Shu quickly held her hand and said anxiously, "Don't move, I'll get the medicinal wine."
Ying Bao nodded. The cloth band on her wrist was stained red with blood. Not only did it need to be bandaged again, but it also needed to be cleaned and applied with a layer of medicine.
If he hadn't been eating Wuding Zhi, he would have been weak.
That damn Pei Shixian didn't know what kind of medicine was used to make her wounds heal slowly, so the cloth band around her wrists kept bleeding.
Mrs. Wen helped Ying Bao lie down on the bed, and ordered the servant to find Master Zhou and tell him that Ying Bao had returned.
"Ying Bao, what's going on? Why can't you make a sound?" Xiao Zhenniang asked.
"Pei Shixian and Han Yueniang took me to a cellar to perform witchcraft and transfer it to Chen Tiantian." Yingbao reluctantly wrote the whole thing with charcoal.
Xiao Zhen gritted her teeth angrily and immediately asked her husband to report to the government office.
Not long after, Zhou Wuchang and his two apprentices arrived.
When he learned that the whole thing was done by Pei Shixian and his wife, he was not surprised.
Zhou Wuchang touched Ying Bao's head with rare kindness and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, my master will avenge you. You just stay here with Mrs. Wen, and I will come to pick you up when my master has settled the matter."
He also told Zhang Min, "Take good care of your little junior sister. If something unexpected happens again, I won't be lenient."
Zhang Min responded dejectedly.
Just like that, Yingbao stayed at Wen's house and slept in bed all day.
When she woke up, she heard Zhang Min telling her about Master Zhou's punishment of Pei Shixian's family.
"The Han mother and daughter wanted to take a boat to the capital, but the master and his men stopped them and took them back to the government office for trial."
Zhang Min said with excitement: "I heard from senior brother that master drained half a bowl of Chen Tiantian's blood and fed the blood to the black dog."
Yingbao was confused and wrote in a small notebook with charcoal: "Why?"
"Hey, senior brother said that this is a great shift in the universe. Giving her sins to a black dog to eat can purify her soul." In fact, it was to take revenge on her for drinking the blood of her little junior sister.
"What happened next? Were they sentenced?" Ying Bao wrote quickly with a charcoal pen.
Zhang Min's face fell: "Pei Shi refuses to admit that he practiced the art of hating victory, and keeps making excuses in every possible way. It seems that the prefect Wang also wants to protect him."
Ying Bao's face sank, and Zhang Min said softly: "Don't worry, little junior sister, today the master chopped off one of Pei Shixian's hands in court, and also had people tattoo the faces of the Han family and his daughter."
Yingbao's eyes widened.
Zhang Min echoed: "Master has a purple gold dagger given by the emperor, which can be used to kill corrupt officials, so he used that dagger to avenge his revenge."
Ying Bao's eyes suddenly lit up and she shouted: "Okay..." Although her voice was hoarse, she was able to speak.
"Eh? Junior sister, you can speak now!" Zhang Min was pleasantly surprised: "I'll tell Master when I get back."
Yingbao wants to go too.
She wanted to see what words were written on Chen Tiantian's face.
Accompanied by Mrs. Wen, the senior brothers and sisters came to the gate of the government office.
At this time, many people gathered around the government office, mostly people watching the excitement, and a dozen Taoist priests.
Ying Bao and Zhang Min jumped off the carriage and squeezed into the crowd.
Han and Chen Tiantian were stopped on the steps by several government officials and were not allowed to leave. In compliance with the order of Governor Wang, they were allowed to remain in public for two hours before leaving.
Ying Bao looked at Chen Tiantian, who was crying with pear blossoms in the rain, without any disturbance in her heart.
She had never killed anyone in her previous life, but now, she suddenly had the idea of killing Chen Tiantian.
I believe that when Chen Tiantian was in the cellar, she also wanted to kill herself. Unfortunately, their intentions were so big that they were reluctant to kill the stepping stone immediately.
Chen Tiantian also saw Ying Bao at this time, with overwhelming hatred in her eyes.
On one side of her forehead, there was a word "prison" as big as a bird's egg.
Next to Han's mother and daughter, there was a government official holding a sign. There was a notice on the sign, which said that Han's mother and daughter practiced witchcraft, mutilated children, and drank their blood. This was unacceptable, and they were specially tattooed as a warning to others.
Han's forehead also had the word "prison" on it, but she looked up at the sky with a numb face, not knowing what to think.
"Little junior sister, that Pei Shi's right hand was cut off first, and he will never be able to cast spells again." Zhang Min looked gloating.
Ying Bao pulled her senior brother back to the carriage.
If Chen Tiantian gets tattooed, can she still become the empress dowager in this life? It's probably out of the question.
So very good.
Yingbao breathed a sigh of relief.
A few days later, the four masters and apprentices officially set off to travel.
This time they did not go on foot, but brought two short carriages.
Yingbao and his second senior brother were in one car, and the senior brother and his master were in one car. There were also bedding, luggage and other items tied up in the car.
They went all the way north, not very fast, traveling about sixty or seventy miles a day.
If they encounter market towns or county towns, they stop and walk around, buying some daily necessities, food and water to take with them.
Before we knew it, it was the end of August and the weather was getting colder and colder.
The four masters and apprentices finally entered Jingzhou.
Passing by a small county town, Zhou Hao bought a lot of rice and noodles to put on the carriage, and also bought some salt and sugar.
After walking for several dozen miles, Master Zhou said: "Let's stop at the village ahead and rest here for a few more days."
"Okay!" This trip was the most relaxing one. Zhang Min was so happy that he hurriedly drove the carriage to the village road.
After a while, stone houses appeared in front of them, with thatched roofs. The houses were not high and looked quite poor.
Several villagers came out of the village. They stood by the road and looked at the carriage curiously.
An elderly villager in tattered clothes suddenly called out: "General Zhou! Are you General Zhou?"
Zhou Wuchang smiled and nodded at this person: "Old man Wu, I am Zhou Wuchang."
Old man Wu rushed forward and shouted in surprise: "It is indeed you, you are finally back!"
Several more villagers recognized Zhou Wuchang and came over to say hello.
Ying Bao was very curious and quietly asked the second senior brother: "Have you been here before?"
"Been here." Zhang Min also wanted to say that his home was in the city more than a hundred miles away, and he was happier than anyone else to be back this time.
Ying Bao: "What did master do before? Why does he know these people?"
"Master has been stationed here for more than ten years. Who in the military camp doesn't know him?"
In fact, Zhou Wuchang is the uncle of the current emperor and the half-brother of the late empress dowager. When he was young, he was stationed on the border and served as the third-rank Huaihua general.
Later, as his close relatives died one after another, he took off his armor and returned home to observe filial piety for his elders. After that, he simply became a Taoist priest and lived a leisurely life.
"Yingbao, when I have time, I will take you for a walk in the forest over there, and hunt some rabbits for the tooth festival." Zhang Min said excitedly.
Ying Bao jumped out of the carriage, "Master doesn't allow killing. We are Onmyoji. If you go hunting rabbits, aren't you afraid of Master punishing you?"
Zhang Min also jumped off the carriage, took down the rice grains from the carriage, and said: "That's for others to see. Now that we are in Jingzhou, we should eat and drink. No one will talk about you. Hey, neither will Master." Taboo."
Yingbao: "Do it for others to see? Why?"
