Shen Lingzhu's voice was drowned out by the men, women, young and old who rushed over. At this moment, her words as a child were of no use at all.

She yelled at Chen Xiaoge, who was about to abandon Goudan and reach out to grab her, "Brother Chen, protect Goudan first. If he dies, I'll go to the car dealership and sue you for disobeying orders and leaving the car without permission, causing loss of both the owner and his property."

The latter stopped, glared at her fiercely, pushed away the crowd, picked up Goudan and ran away.

Everyone in the Cao family quickly shouted and surrounded and intercepted them. The group of people who came with the leader and the head of the village didn't know which side to help, so they pushed a few people to call the head of the village.

Shen Lingzhu wanted to run away but was caught by the fat aunt. She couldn't attack the aunt who was also a victim, so she could only struggle to break free.

"Let my sister go!" Someone was also pulling Shen Xianzhu. Seeing that his third sister was being grabbed by both arms and couldn't break free, he was so angry that he used all his strength to push the two men away and rushed towards the fat aunt like a mad calf.

The fat lady didn't try to hide, but thrust her chest forward and yelled, "This is molest!"

Oh my god! Seeing that her eldest brother was about to hit her, Shen Lingzhu screamed and bent down to bite the aunt's fat hand.

"Ouch." The fat aunt reacted nervously and slapped her with her other hand.

Shen Xianzhu saw a large hand like a palm-leaf fan about to hit his third sister on the head, so he bent his body to protect himself and took the blow.

In an instant, the shouts and cries of fighting and screaming made Taoist Chen, who was giving acupuncture in the other side hall, feel annoyed. He glanced at the girl who was calmly fixing the position of Ning's wife in front of him, and then he gathered his strength and gave the last two needles.

"The needle needs to be left in for a quarter of an hour. You hold her still and don't move. I'll be back soon." Taoist Master Chen gave instructions to her and the female Taoist servant who served medicine, and quickly walked into the main hall.

Facing a messy hall, he took a deep breath and jumped up without saying a word, using the power of several large pillars on both sides to fly in front of Chen Xiaoge.

After reaching out and grabbing Goudan, he used the momentum to leap onto the beam and said, "Silence! No noise is allowed in front of the Zhenwu Emperor."

The sound came from Dantian and instantly resounded in the hall, followed by the melodious Qingxin Sutra slowly chanted.

The chaotic crowd soon stopped making noise and gradually calmed down to bow to the statue in the right position. At this time, Taoist Master Chen, holding Goudan, floated down from the beam.

He then handed it over to his nephew and asked him to take him out of the hall immediately.

Shen Lingzhu's eyes sparkled with stars as she watched these scenes. Her previous master couldn't fly so high. She grabbed her eldest brother's torn sleeve and asked, "Master, will you accept me as your disciple?"

"..." Shen Xianzhu felt dizzy and had back pain. The third sister was worthy of being the daughter of the second uncle and she admired the use of force.

He glanced at the crowd who had quieted down, took her hand and quietly left the hall.

And said seriously: "It was too chaotic just now. You are not allowed to get involved in such things in the future."

Amidst the public outrage, anything was possible. "Where's the second sister?"

"Here." Shen Miaozhu's voice came from the side hall. When the two walked to the door, they were stopped by the young boy sitting at the door.

Shen Miaozhu continued, "The woman is treating an illness, so it's not convenient for Big Brother to come in.

Why don't we go and tell our uncle and the others that we are safe? It's difficult for us to leave now given the situation."

"No, I have to keep an eye on you two, so that you don't go to the melon shed to look for someone." He was afraid that something else might happen if he left. At this moment, the Hanako-capturing gang was not as important as his two sisters.

"Hurry up and organize people to search." Shen Lingzhu clapped his hands, his injured hand hurting.

Only then did Shen Xianzhu realize that the cloth wrapped around her hand was missing, so he pushed her into the side hall and asked the doctor inside to help bandage her.

Shen Miaozhu saw that her wound was exposed, and since she was holding the patient lying on her side and couldn't clean it, she said, "There's cold boiled water in the kettle on the table. Take a basin and wash it yourself."

"Hey." Shen Lingzhu was not so arrogant. Under the guidance of the Taoist boy, she took out a special cloth towel from the medicine box.

They didn't notice that the eldest brother Shen Xianzhu outside the door squatted down and gave the young boy two copper coins, asking him to block the door until he came back and not let the two of them out.

Then he hurried away, crossing the alley to look for Chen Xiaoge. Before he reached the end, the latter came towards him and said, "The person has been handed over to Junior Brother Chen Daochang for protection."

"I'm not looking for him, I'm looking for you." Shen Xianzhu told him the contact point of the melon shed in Dayuan Village, and wanted him to quickly find someone to go to the nearby village to look for the trace of Wu Gou.

Chen Xiaoge refused to go and advised him that Taoist Chen would handle the matter and that he was a loyal person.

Shen Xianzhu had no choice but to give up and asked him to look after his two younger sisters while he went to pick up his parents.

But this person still disagreed. He would rather find a Taoist priest to help pass the message than be too far away from the three siblings.

Fortunately, the distance was not far. When Shen Huai and his wife hurried back, the Taoist priest was just seeing off a large group of people.

They thought there was some important ceremony going on in the temple. When they went to the wing room and saw their three children, Mrs. Hu learned about the recent incident. After checking that Shen Lingzhu was okay, she turned around and harshly blamed her son for not taking good care of his sister.

Senior sister Shen Miaozhu did not escape the disaster either. Among the three, only the youngest was blamed for his injury.

Shen Lingzhu was glad that her wound was treated quickly, otherwise her aunt would have scolded her even more harshly if she saw it.

After a while, the aunt told the coach company to quickly hire a new driver, and they quickly left the place of trouble.

The three siblings looked at each other, and Shen Lingzhu, who was currently in favor, spoke: "Aunt, we can't leave now.

The Taoist priest has just discussed with the village head and villagers that both we and Goudan need to stay in the temple and wait for the officials to arrive.

After all, this case involves an underage child, and his neighbors are worried that Goudan's crimes will be implicated, so they asked us to testify."

"The last time the officials said we were not allowed to stay any longer, sir..." Mrs. Hu looked at her husband. She really didn't want him to meet the officials again.

Shen Huai has become more or less accustomed to all kinds of faces these days. He waved his hand and said it was okay. If the beggar gang could be caught and a few children could be retrieved, it would be a good deed.

However, while the family was waiting quietly, the owner of the rickshaw shop took the initiative to come to their door and sent another middle-aged rickshaw driver.

His attitude was very sincere. He said that because Cao Er delayed the Shen family's journey this time, he specially assigned a more stable driver to escort them.

His thoughtful words and warm attitude made Mrs. Hu behind the screen very satisfied.

But when the other party said that the rental money would be refunded and replaced with a horse-drawn carriage, Shen Lingzhu saw her aunt's face change.

Fortunately, the uncle immediately refused and said that he would change car dealerships if he didn't accept the money, so the boss gave up.

After the guests left, Mrs. Hu just breathed a sigh of relief when another young Taoist priest informed her that someone from the government had come, and this time it was the provincial magistrate.

Shen Huai took his son to meet her but did not return for a long time. Shen Miaozhu said, "Aunt, I'll go and see."

"No, the magistrate is of the seventh rank, and he must be accompanied by many yamen runners. It is not appropriate for you to go." No matter how anxious Mrs. Hu was, she would not let her twelve-year-old girl go to the front to inquire about the news.

Shen Lingzhu raised her hand: "I'll pretend to have taken the wrong road and see what's going on."

Just as Mrs. Hu called out to her as she was about to leave, the elusive little beggar ran over and said, "Brother Chen sent me to look for you. He said your uncle has been standing in the guest house in the hot sun for a long time and hasn't been received yet."

It is now past midnight, which is about ten o'clock in the morning, and it is the time when the heat is rising and shining.

Shen Lingzhu turned around and said, "I'll call uncle back," and ran away again...
