Chapter 390 Girl Pingting
Ying Bao didn't care and followed Chen Wan into a bamboo forest.
There were indeed people in the bamboo forest, but it was not just Chen Zhao and Chen Xubao, but also four strange men.
Chen Wan grabbed Ying Bao's arm and said to the four people: "I, I brought her, please let go of Azhao and Xu Bao."
Chen Zhao exclaimed: "Sister! How could you do this?"
Chen Wan trembled, grabbed Ying Bao tightly, and urged those people: "Hurry up, I have brought the people you want, let my brothers and sisters go quickly."
The four of them looked at each other and smiled. Two of them walked over and were about to reach out to Ying Bao. Suddenly, their eyes blurred and a cold light hit their face.
The two of them ducked instinctively, but because the distance was too close, one person's arm was cut open until the flesh was split open.
"Ah" The man screamed, retreated and fell to the ground.
Only then did they see clearly that the girl had thrown away Chen Wan at some point. She was also holding a two-foot-long sharp machete in her hand and was chasing and slashing another person.
"Stinky girl! Looking for death!" The other two people saw that something was wrong and hurriedly drew out their daggers and came to help.
At this time, many people gathered around.
"Bao'er! Get out of the way! Dad is coming!" Jiang Sanlang rushed over and hit one of them on the back with the pole in his hand.
The man who was hit screamed and ran away regardless of the pain.
The other two wanted to run away when they saw something was wrong, but they were surrounded by villagers.
What follows is a fight.
These people were all practitioners, but they couldn't beat the four-handed fists. They were quickly knocked to the ground by the villagers and tied into rice dumplings.
After Jiang Sanlang captured the four of them, he turned around and glared at Chen Wan fiercely, and asked sternly: "Chen Wan! Who told you to trick my daughter into coming here?"
Chen Wan was so frightened that she trembled and shook her head repeatedly, tears pouring down her face: "It's... it's them. They tied up A Zhao and Xu Bao. I, I can't help it, wuwuwuwu..."
In fact, it was not just because of this, her father also told her that if he brought Yingbao, he and his sister would not have to serve the nobles, and he would also find a way to send them to live in the county town.
Jiang Sanlang slapped Chen Wan hard in the mouth and asked several people to tie her up.
Then he took a few people to search around and found a carriage and a few horses.
But there was no one on the carriage, so the coachman must have fled on horseback when he realized something was wrong.
Jiang Sanlang had several people thrown into the carriage and brought back to Dongchen Village for interrogation.
One of them couldn't help but howl: "You untouchables! Let us go! Do you know who we are? Believe it or not, I will put your family in prison..."
Jiang Sanlang held a bamboo stick and slapped him hard on the face.
A few bamboo sticks were pulled down, and the man's face was beaten until his skin was bruised and his flesh was bruised. He dared not say a word anymore.
Jiang Sanlang interrogated these people separately, and finally one of them couldn't bear it anymore and told the truth.
It turned out that these people were the subordinates of Yan Jinshan, the aide to King Cheng, who wanted to kidnap Jiang Yingbao to Chengzhou County, but they were afraid of disturbing the situation, so they forced Chen Wan to deceive them.
After the interrogation, Jiang Sanlang couldn't help but feel scared.
But thinking about my daughter's strange ability, I felt a little calmer.
Finally, Jiang Sanlang sent the four people and Chen Wan to the Yi Pavilion and handed them over to Yi Cheng for processing.
When Yi Cheng heard that Prince Cheng was involved, he did not dare to neglect, and immediately escorted several people to the county government office without stopping.
Not long after, someone from the county government notified Chen Laoshuan's family to bring money to redeem Chen Wan.
Chen Laoshuan had no money left, so he could only borrow it from his eldest son and third son. Unexpectedly, both sons refused to lend, saying that they were short of money and could not afford eighty taels of silver.
Chen Changhai's wife also quietly said to her husband: "Chen Wan did such a thing, why should we tell her the truth? Your second brother is becoming more and more ignorant and dares to conspire with outsiders to harm other people's daughters. The Jiang family is not the Jiang family before. , several of my children are going to be officials, husband, please don’t follow me into confusion."
Chen Changhai sighed: "I know."
His son is also fourteen or fifteen years old, and he is also learning martial arts at the martial arts school in Dongchen Village. He may have to rely on the Jiang family's children to help him in the future. How could he be stupid?
Chen Laoshuan couldn't borrow money from his son, so he had to go to Patriarch Chen to borrow money. As a result, Patriarch Chen angrily scolded him, saying that he was incompetent in teaching his son and grandson. If he dared to bring Chen Wan back to the village, his family would be exterminated.
In the end, Chen Zhao took out the sixty taels of silver given by Ying Bao last time and asked his grandfather to redeem his eldest sister.
Chen Laoshuan took the money to the county government office. After redeeming his granddaughter, he sold her to a family in another county on a death deed and returned home alone.
After returning home, I felt very depressed when I thought about my second son's repeated mistakes and his lack of repentance. It was estimated that he would not be able to keep his reputation as a scholar.
Furious and heartbroken, Chen Laoshuan fell ill. If the patriarch Chen hadn't stolen his wife's pills and gave them to him, Chen Laoshuan would have passed away.
Two months later, Chen Feng made the decision to marry the fifteen-year-old Chen Zhao to the second son of a family in a foreign country.
This family is relatively well-off, but their ancestor was an executioner, and no one who knows the details is willing to get married to them.
Chen Zhao had no objection, but after getting married, he still returned to Dongchen Village to do business and take care of his younger brother.
During this period, Ying Bao was restricted from leaving the village by her parents. Even if she went to the market, she was not allowed to go alone. She had to be accompanied by someone.
Even if Wen Shu gives birth to a child, Chun Niang will accompany her.
Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Wen Shu's child is already one year old, and the fourteen-year-old Ying Bao has become a Pingting girl.
A lot happened during this year.
The biggest event was that the king of Chengzhou County suddenly raised troops to join forces with the Xiao Zhou Dynasty to attack the city of the New Dynasty.
For a time, war broke out everywhere.
After hearing the news, the Jiang family was worried.
Chun Niang sat on the kang and talked to her daughter: "Bao'er, do you think Xiao Wu and the others will also go to the battlefield?"
Ying Bao was silent for a moment and comforted her mother: "How can Xiaowu go to the battlefield when he is so talented?"
In fact, I was very anxious in my heart. I regretted not giving Xiao Wu more medicine to take with me, and even more regretted letting my brother take some martial arts exams.
But her brother also has his own life, so how can she make decisions for him.
Chun Niang sighed for a while, then thought of something again, and said to her daughter: "I don't know what you think, Sister Erni. You refuse to kiss me until you die. You are almost mad to death."
Yingbao didn't know how to answer.
Not to mention Sister Erni, she herself didn't want to consider this matter early.
She had always wanted to visit Beishan, but her parents were very strict and did not allow her to run around, let alone go out with others. They said that she was old and had to keep a distance from the brats in the village, otherwise they would be criticized.
"There is one more thing I need to tell you." Chun Niang glanced at her daughter and whispered: "Last time Mrs. Wen mentioned your marriage to me, let me ask you, what do you think of Wen Hengyin?"
Ying Bao blinked: "Mom, I'm still young."
"Why are you so young?" Chun Niang glared at her daughter: "Your eldest sister, Ni, got engaged when she was twelve years old. How old are you now?"
Seeing that her daughter remained silent, Chun Niang continued: "Mrs. Wang told me about her family Wei Zhan. She also said that Wei Zhan has been appointed as the captain of Zhechong Prefecture, leading three hundred cavalry."
Ying Bao: "That's very good." At the age of only seventeen, he could become the captain of Zhe Chong Mansion, and his future was limitless.
Chun Niang twitched her eyes, looked at her daughter secretly, and asked, "Do you really think Wei Zhan is good?"
"Yeah." Ying Bao nodded.
