After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

Zhang Hujun asked anxiously, "Big sister, are you injured?"

Zhang Hubing also hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Dong Jianyong said: "These three bastards had daggers hidden on them. They cut the ropes and broke free, injuring my niece."

Zhang Hulan said hurriedly, "Luckily, Uncle Dong is here."

Old man Zhang and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li rushed over, but Zhang Hulan didn't let them into the house for fear of scaring them.

"Uncle Dong, don't let anyone into the house. Go to the government office and report to the authorities."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Dong Jianyong went out immediately, but as soon as he walked out of the street and reached the main street, he was stopped by soldiers patrolling the city at night.

The soldier shouted, "Who is it?"

Dong Jianyong quickly said, "Sir, something happened in our house. A thief broke into our house and my wife was injured."

The soldier asked, "Where does your wife live? What is her name?"

Dong Jianyong replied, "My wife's surname is Zhang, and she lives on the street behind us. By the way, my wife is a garrison commander of the Ministry of Revenue."

The soldiers felt nervous because an official was injured. This was no small matter.

"Take us there quickly. Where is the thief? Have they been caught?"

Dong Jianyong led the way, recounting the events as he ran: "He had already been caught and tied up.

Because it was night, my wife planned to send him to the yamen at dawn.

Unexpectedly, the villains hid a dagger. They said that we cut the rope without paying attention, and then they went to assassinate my wife.

I was so anxious to save my wife that I accidentally killed the bad guy."

Dong Jianyong quickly brought the patrolling soldiers home.

Doctor Yu was bandaging Zhang Hulan's wound.

The soldier inspected the scene and then asked Zhang Hulan about the situation at that time.

Zhang Hulan narrated the incident in a vivid and moving manner, with the worry and fear on her face just right.

The soldiers checked the three dead people, did not move the bodies, immediately cordoned off the scene, and then sent someone to notify the Jingzhao Prefecture.

The people from Jingzhao Prefecture arrived after daybreak. It was useless to come too early. They could only inspect the scene more clearly during the day.

Zhang Hulan also asked someone to inform Wang Xingren. It would seem unusual if he didn't inform him of such a big thing.

Wang Xingren and Ye Hongling both came, even the old Marquis Wang came.

However, Zhang Hulan did not inform Ye Hongyun because she was pregnant and it was not convenient to let her come.

Three people died and some officials were injured, so a Shao Yin from Jingzhao Prefecture came.

The Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture asked about the circumstances of the crime last night, and then carefully examined the postures and wounds of the three deceased.

The Jingzhao Prefecture Shao Yin asked, "Who killed these three people?"

Dong Jianyong stepped forward and replied, "Your Excellency, it is me."

The Jingzhao Prefecture Shaoyin looked at Dong Jianyong, a lame man, and asked suspiciously, "You have a disabled leg, how could you kill three strong men?"

Dong Jianyong replied, "Sir, I was once a soldier, but I was discharged due to a leg injury. Although I've retired, I've continued to train every day, so I'm in good shape and my skills haven't declined."

The Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture nodded and said, "Tell me how you killed them."

"Sir, all three were tied up at the time, so my wife and I let our guard down." Dong Jianyong pointed to the body in the innermost body and said, "The man who tied the three together cut the rope with a dagger and then suddenly rushed towards my wife.

My wife reacted quickly, but he still injured her arm.

I was anxious to save my wife, and I was used to killing people on the battlefield, so I hit him harder and cut his neck with one blow.

Dong Jianyong pointed at the man in the middle of the room and said, "He rushed towards me, and I slashed his neck with my knife."

Dong Jianyong finally pointed at the man at the door and said, "When he saw me kill two people in a row, he got scared and ran out. I threw the hatchet at him and killed him."

The Jingzhao Prefecture Shaoyin said, "That last man is no longer a threat. You shouldn't kill him. Leaving him alive will allow you to investigate his intentions."

Dong Jianyong said, "Sir, as I said earlier, I was a soldier before, and I can't stop killing people. It's like being on the battlefield. I dare not relax until all the enemies are killed."

Lord Wang said, "That's right. On the battlefield, you must chop down the last enemy before you stop."

Jingzhao Prefecture Shaoyin Chao Wang Old Marquis bowed and said, "Old Marquis, what's wrong with you?"

Lord Wang said, "This is my in-laws' family, my grandson's father-in-law's family."

The Junior Magistrate of Jingzhao Prefecture felt that the situation had suddenly become much more serious. "I didn't expect it to be a relative of the old Marquis. Don't worry, old Marquis, I will definitely find out the truth."

Lord Wang nodded and pointed at Zhang Hulan and said, "She was the one who offered the prescription to treat the pig-head madness plague some time ago, and the emperor conferred her the title of Sixth Rank Anren.

The day before yesterday, the Emperor appointed her as the Supervisor of the Ministry of Revenue. She is an official appointed by the court to investigate the matter thoroughly."

"Yes, yes, yes." The Junior Magistrate of Jingzhao Prefecture nodded repeatedly, then asked Zhang Hulan, "Zhang Tunjian, did these three villains say anything?"

Zhang Hulan replied: "When we first caught them, I questioned them and they said they were there to steal money.

I thought it was night time and they were just stealing money, so I planned to send it to the Jingzhao government office at dawn. But who knew they would suddenly commit a crime..."

Everything Zhang Hulan and Dong Jianyong said was reasonable, and the situation at the scene also matched. The Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture had no doubts about what Zhang Hulan and Dong Jianyong said.

The Junior Magistrate of Jingzhao Prefecture said to the accompanying yamen runners, "Have the painter draw the portraits of these three people, and then find out their identities."

A captain of the police said to the Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, "Sir, I know these three people."

Everyone looked at the captain, who said, "These three are thugs in the city. They usually like to do sneaky things that are not allowed to be seen in public.

I've caught them several times, but the offenses they committed were not serious. Usually I just gave them a beating and kept them in custody for a month or two before releasing them."

If that were the case, the matter would be very simple. It was indeed a common burglary case. He was simply caught in the act and was trying to take someone hostage.

The Junior Magistrate of Jingzhao Prefecture looked at Old Marquis Wang and Zhang Hulan and asked, "Old Marquis, Zhang Tunjian, what do you think?"

Lord Wang remained silent, so Zhang Hulan said, "That's consistent with what they said.

I guess they saw that we just moved in, so they came to my house to steal things.

I just didn't expect them to suddenly attack me, so should we consider this as self-defense?"

The Jingzhao Prefecture Shaoyin said: "Of course, the three broke into the house and committed the crime with weapons, so Zhang Tunjian was acting in self-defense.

"Don't worry, Zhang Tunjian. The law stipulates that anyone who trespasses into a house without the owner's permission can be shot dead by the owner."

The Jingzhao Prefecture's Shaoyin then asked, "Does Zhang Tunjian have any questions after seeing this? If not, I will close this case as burglary."

Zhang Hulan didn't want to delay, and concluded the case as soon as possible. "I have no questions, please excuse me, sir."
