Chapter 445 Xu Mengru was assassinated
When I was almost at the center of the noise, a panicked guy appeared in front of me, holding a bloody knife in his hand.
The officer behind him shouted, "Mr. Chen, stop him! He stabbed Miss Xu."
Chen Lang didn't hesitate at all. He went up and kicked the man right in the heart. Then he took two steps and broke his ankle.
This way he won't be able to run away.
Then he quickly came in front of Xu Mengru.
There was a bloody hole in her shoulder, and blood was oozing out.
Hong'er next to her was also injured, with a cut on her arm. It seemed that she was accidentally injured by the "assassin" while trying to protect the young lady.
Chen Lang bent down and picked up Xu Mengru, and immediately discovered that she also had a knife wound on her back, which was more serious than the one on her shoulder.
Chen Lang now only hated himself for being too soft-hearted before.
The assassin's wrists and ankles should be broken!
"Hong'er, I'll take Miss Xu home, and you go find Divine Doctor Sun."
"Don't worry, with Divine Doctor Sun here, your young lady will be fine."
Hong'er was in a state of confusion, and Chen Lang's words actually pointed her in the right direction.
Disaster relief is not just about distributing food, it also includes free medical treatment, but the two places are quite far apart.
Chen Lang returned home with Xu Mengru in his arms and found that Ning Wenxu and his sister were also standing in the corner of the yard, ignored.
"Boil some water, prepare some clean white silk cloth, and fetch two jars of the strongest liquor."
"Spring flowers!"
"Brother-in-law, I'm here."
"I'll leave these two to you. They...are our slaves. You can decide how to deal with them. Remember, take them to the government office to sign their indentures first."
"I know brother-in-law."
Chen Lang put Xu Mengru on the bed, cut open the clothes at the injured part with scissors, pressed it with silk cloth to stop the bleeding first.
Not long after, Master Sun Sizhen and his disciple returned.
After checking Xu Mengru's injuries, Sun Sizhen asked Chen Lang to leave first because he needed to take off his clothes for the next treatment.
Xu Fei was also driven out, leaving only Xu Mengru's personal maid Hong'er in the room to help.
Chen Lang walked outside and found Xiao Qi squatting in the corridor crying.
"Don't worry, your future wife will be fine. At most, she'll just have a scar on her arm."
"Speaking of which, you wouldn't dislike her just because she has scars on her body, right?"
Xiao Qi immediately stood up, wiped away her tears, and said, "Sir, how could I be that kind of person?"
"Don't say Hong'er just has a scar. Even if she is disabled, I will still marry her and love her forever!"
Chen Lang walked up, patted Xiao Qi on the shoulder, and said, "Young Master, you said the wrong thing. Don't take it to heart."
"You are a good man. Miss Xu and Hong'er will be very pleased to hear what you said."
Xiao Qi said, "I don't blame you, Master. I just feel sad when I think about Hong'er being injured and in so much pain, but I can't help at all."
Chen Lang said, "There will be a time when I can be of help."
"I'll leave this place to you. I'm going to the government office."
Xiao Qi asked, "Why are you going to the government office, young master?"
"Ask the assassin why he attacked Miss Xu!" Chen Lang said.
Xiao Qi said, "But sir, the assassin has been locked up by the government. Can you see him?"
Chen Lang took out a sign and waved it in front of Xiao Qi, saying, "Sir, I am a person of status."
……
When Chen Lang arrived at the yamen, he happened to see Zhao Chunhua and the Ning brothers and sisters going through the relevant procedures for selling their bodies.
Chen Lang didn't go to say hello, because from now on, the Ning brothers and sisters would be handed over to Zhao Chunhua for management. How to use them would be Zhao Chunhua's business, and Chen Lang would not interfere.
After explaining the purpose of my visit to the officers standing on both sides of the main hall, the officers were a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Chen, that man has been sent to the prison. If you want to see him, you must get the permission of the county lieutenant."
"Where is Lord Chang?" Chen Lang asked.
The officer said, "Since the disaster broke out, Master Chang has not slept for many days. He is resting at home today."
Chen Lang asked, "Where is the county jail? I'll go there myself."
"Mr. Chen, trespassing into the prison without the county lieutenant's warrant is a capital offense," said the officer.
Chen Lang said: "Don't worry, I know my limits."
Seeing that Chen Lang had made up his mind, the officer stopped trying to persuade him and pointed him in the direction of the prison.
Chen Lang came to the entrance of the prison, where two constables were standing.
The young constable's face changed instantly when he saw Chen Lang, and he almost shouted out.
The older constable reacted quickly and pinched his companion's lower back to remind him not to make a sound.
He then walked up to Chen Lang and said, "Mr. Chen, the prison ahead is a restricted area. It's not advisable to approach it. Please go back."
Chen Lang returned the greeting with a bow and said, "Excuse me, officer, what is your name?"
The older constable said, "My last name is Liu, and I'm a squad leader. Young Master Chen, just call me Liu Bantou."
Chen Lang said, "Liu Bantou, I want to meet the assassin we captured today."
"I'm the one who stabbed Miss Xu Mengru. Can you please help me?"
Liu Bantou said, "I'm sorry, Master Chen, but to visit someone in the prison, we need at least a letter from the county lieutenant."
"Mr. Chen, I understand your feelings. Please rest assured that we will thoroughly investigate this man, understand his motives, and give him the most fair judgment."
Chen Lang said, "It's not that I don't believe you, but I want to hear it from him in person."
Liu Bantou said, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I can't do anything."
Chen Lang took a deep breath, took out the Imperial Prison Division badge, and showed it to Liu Bantou: "Do you recognize this?"
Liu Bantou looked closer for a moment and asked in surprise, "The Imperial Prison Officer's badge?"
"Mr. Chen, you..."
Chen Lang asked, "I am the Junior Secretary of the Imperial Prison Department. May I ask if I am qualified to go to the prison?"
Liu Bantou was a little flustered and said, "Master Chen, forgive me for being frank. I recognize the words "Imperial Prison Department", but this is the first time I've seen a waist badge of the Imperial Prison Department, so..."
Chen Lang said calmly, "Are you afraid it's fake?"
"Liu Bantou, you should think about it this way. How many people in the world would dare to privately forge a badge for the Imperial Prison Department?"
"If you're worried it's fake, you can report it. If they find out I forged it privately, that would be a grave sin for the Yi clan."
"But if it's true, then you're disobeying your superiors. At the very least, you'll be punished with thirty strokes of the cane, or even exile a thousand miles away."
"Think about it."
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Bantou made way and shouted to the young constable behind him, "Open the prison door!"
The young constable took out the key and quickly opened the prison door.
Liu Bantou said, "Master Chen, the assassin is imprisoned in the innermost cell and needs my company..."
Chen Lang waved his hand and said, "No need. I want to talk to him alone."
"Thank you."
After saying that, he strode in.
After Chen Lang entered the prison, the young constable walked up to Liu Bantou and whispered, "Liu Bantou, I heard that Master Chen subdued him with a single move today. His skills are quite impressive."
"Killing Yao Jianxin..."
Liu Bantou glared at him fiercely: "Why are you still thinking about this matter? The Yao Jianxin case has been closed. Don't mention it again in the future. Do you understand?"
The young constable smiled awkwardly and said, "Captain Liu, I'm just curious."
Liu Bantou said indifferently: "Curiosity can kill people."
