Chapter 558: Chapter 558: The Message Brought by Guihua, and the Purpose of Zuo Xingyu’s Visit
If it wasn’t for knowing that there were bandits up ahead, would I need to be so hurried in managing this?
Although the manager silently complained, he said indifferently: “With the heavens and the earth as our witness, we are government officials. Where would so many bandits dare to rob us?”
“But…”
“Or is it that you are not confident in your own skills and think you cannot deal with just one or two small thugs?”
“That’s not the case, Sir Manager…”
“If you really are not that capable, why did you initially become governmental office’s runners and constables in the first place? You might as well go back home and continue drinking milk!”
“…”
Xiaoliang was defeated.
Everyone could only continue walking forward, but their steps were slower and slower.
However, the manager on the side kept urging them!
“Hurry up, walk faster, you’re all dawdling, do you want to crush the ants to death along the way? Hurry up!”
The urging sound, combined with the sound of horse hooves and the grinding of carriage wheels on broken stones, only emphasized the silence and desolation on both sides of the road.
Moreover, the dark, hazy daylight made people’s scalps feel numb.
“Hurry up! Move faster!”
As the manager cursed and urged, the soldiers became slower and slower, and no one was willing to continue walking forward.
At this moment, a sudden sound of urgent horse hooves came from behind them.
“Report! -”
The messenger caught up with the prison cart carrying Di Yelei before dusk.
Everyone around the prison cart was on high alert!
Only after clearly seeing that the newcomer was a messenger did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“Report! By order of the Su County Magistrate and Lord Tan, hurry to escort the criminal Di Yelei back to Macheng County! There must be no mistakes!”
“What? Back to Macheng County!”
Surprised, the manager exclaimed while everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. At least they wouldn’t have to enter the tiger’s lair, and they managed to save a few lives!
…
Liu Sisi visited the clinic again.
To visit Ms. Xin, who had not fully recovered.
“Madam, you’re here. My elder actually has something to discuss with you.” As soon as the medicine pageboy saw her, he hurriedly called out.
Old He is looking for me? Is it because of some issue with Ms. Xin? Thinking of this, Liu Sisi hurriedly took a few quick steps.
“Alright. Where is Old He now?”
“Madam, please follow me.”
the medical pageboy led Liu Sisi directly into the inner room.
Old He was busy inside, mixing medicinal ingredients in his hands, and as soon as he saw Liu Sisi enter, he hurriedly waved to her.
“Sisi, you’re here. Come and sit down.”
“Old He, did you call me here because my sister-in-law’s condition has worsened?”
Without waiting for an invitation to sit, Liu Sisi hurriedly asked about Ms. Xin’s condition.
“You relax. I used a ginseng root 300 years old to snatch her life back from the King of Hell. There are no problems with her for now. However…”
Old He turned around while talking, walked over to and sat down across from her: “In order to save her life at the time, I sealed her major acupoints to stop the bleeding. But due to this, she will never be able to get pregnant again.”
“Yes, I found out yesterday.”
Liu Sisi’s voice was very low. After thinking for a moment, she asked another question: “Old He, what about Elder Leisure’s condition? Can his madness be cured?”
“His illness isn’t very serious. As long as he is not agitated, he can be the same as a normal person. It can’t be rushed.”
