After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs
Chapter 104 A Not-So-Peaceful Night 2
"According to Jinyang law, arson of government offices, private residences, or property will result in a three-year prison sentence for the first offense. If the property involved is worth more than five horses, the offender will be exiled two thousand miles away. In serious cases, the offender will be hanged."
There was majesty in Xu Qingzhao's voice. She was very familiar with Jinyang laws, so she answered faster than Hongying.
Zhao Huanxi thought about it and felt that these two people were really annoying. He might as well let them succeed, arrest them and put them in jail.
However, they still needed a lot of witnesses, so he quietly said, "Brother Xu, please go to the village chief's house quietly and invite him over. We can do this after they succeed. Is that okay?"
Although they have a lot of witnesses, they are all their own people and there are witnesses from the villagers. These two people will be skinned alive if they don't die.
"No big deal. They are now in the corridor outside the guest room. There are two piles of dry firewood there, but no kerosene. It will probably take a while for them to burn. Miss Pang, remember to go up and keep an eye on them." He was still a little worried, so he told Hongying to remember to keep an eye on them.
Pang Hongying nodded: "Yes, I will, go ahead."
Xu Qingzhao jumped away from the roof of the house on the other side and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Hongying, you are the eldest daughter of the Pangshi Escort Agency. I remember that you are familiar with the captain of the police. I am afraid I will have to trouble you to be a witness."
"It's not a big deal. Besides, these two are asking for trouble. The current county magistrate is eager to have his achievements come to him. Don't worry, these two will not escape imprisonment."
Having said that, if nothing really happened to me, how long would I be sentenced for just burning two piles of firewood? I still have to make some sacrifices myself...
Going over to the porch over there, not far from the two piles of dry firewood is the backyard gate where you can put hay and start a fire yourself. These two idiots can't even find a good place to start a fire...
She pulled Hongying to the backyard, discussed for a few words, and then Hongying jumped onto the roof.
Zhao Huanxi went out of the yard and saw the two sneaky men carrying dry firewood to light the fire. She took out her own tinder and threw it on the dry grass. In an instant, the flames shot up into the sky. She stood in front of the fire, and the flames reflected on her face but did not melt the frost on her face.
When the two men saw the fire in front of them and saw Huanxi standing coldly in front of them, they became a little panicked for a moment.
"Help! Someone is setting fire! Help! Help!"
Zhao Huanxi took the initiative and shouted loudly before the two men could react.
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhao Fengnian became filled with evil thoughts. He picked up a stone from the ground and approached Zhao Huanxi step by step with a ferocious look in his eyes.
Zhao Huanxi saw his movements and thought that this man was trying to silence the witness. If he didn't fulfill his wish, wouldn't that be a good thing for him?
"You...what are you going to do...I...I am your sister..."
She retreated step by step, and when she reached the wall with nowhere to retreat, Zhao Fengnian grabbed a stone and prepared to drop it viciously.
At the critical moment, Hongying shouted from the roof: "Stop!"
Zhao Fengnian was so frightened that the stone in his hand fell to the ground. He was already extremely nervous.
Zhao Mancai, who was two steps behind, saw that his son was so useless. He looked at the woman above him and saw that she was not a threat. So he picked up a stone and threw it at Zhao Huanxi.
The stone hit her shoulder, but didn't injure her vital organs. Zhao Huanxi screamed in pain, "Ah! Help! Murder!"
"joy!"
Xu Qingzhao, who was far away, saw Zhao Mancai injuring someone and quickly pulled the village chief forward. The village chief saw that the fire at Zhao Huanxi's house had grown bigger and quickly instructed the villagers who had followed him to fetch water to put out the fire.
Fortunately, the incident only lasted for half a cup of tea, and the wall of Huanxi's house was very high, so the fire did not spread into the house.
At this time, Hongying jumped off the roof, drew her sword, and put it on Zhao Mancai's neck, saying viciously: "It's arson and wounding, and there are witnesses and evidence. Don't even think about quibbling!"
Zhao Mancai and his son dared to set fire so brazenly because it was almost midnight and most people had turned off the lights and gone to bed. They listened for a while and heard no sound from the corner or the door, and since they could not see any light from inside, they thought everyone was asleep.
Secondly, Zhao Huanxi's home is in the most corner of the village, so any movement here would take a long time to be discovered.
That's why they lit the fire, hoping to take advantage of the people inside coming out to put out the fire, knock them unconscious, and then rob the house. They could also avenge the trick they had been tricked with that day.
Shili Village was even more remote than Dashi Village. The security booth in Gaoma Town, where the villagers gathered for the market, was barely a decoration. The soldiers on guard were all villagers recruited from the town. Therefore, the father and son were not very familiar with the court's laws.
Besides, this is the home of their daughter, to whom they are related by blood. No one would dare to blame them even if they burned it down or robbed it.
"Humph, this is my own daughter's house. I can beat her or burn her as I please. I'm teaching my own unfilial daughter a lesson, so who do you think you are?"
Zhao Mancai still had a long sword on his neck, but he was not panicked at all. This woman looked like a show-off. She probably wouldn't dare to kill a chicken, let alone kill someone.
Zhao Fengnian saw that something was not right and was about to slip away, but Xu Qingzhao kicked him against the wall, but the fat man had thick flesh and bounced back.
“Ouch…someone was killed…someone was killed…Dad, please beat him…” Zhao Fengnian was kicked in the stomach and rolled on the ground in pain.
"You dare to hurt my son! I will fight you!" Zhao Mancai shouted angrily, took a step back and wanted to rush up to fight Xu Qingzhao.
Pang Hongying had no intention of killing him, so she let him take advantage of her opportunity. She immediately sheathed her sword and used the sheath to knock Zhao Mancai down. Zhao Mancai felt the pain and tried to fight back, but was met with a kick from Pang Hongying.
Now the father and son were huddled together on the ground.
At this time, Xu Qingzhao had already walked in front of Zhao Huanxi. She was hit on the shoulder by a stone and now looked at the person in front of her with a weak face.
She sucked on it, a sweet, fishy taste seeping out from between her teeth, and then spat it out. "You're already injured... it would be a shame not to spit out some blood. Thank you for your hard work, gums."
"Huanxi, are you okay..." Xu Qingzhao looked worried and picked her up sideways.
Zhao Huanxi whispered to him, "Go through the front door and tell him I vomited blood."
After hearing this, Xu Qingzhao carried the weak Huanxi into the house through the front door. Many villagers around asked about Huanxi's condition with concern.
"Call a doctor! Huanxi was seriously injured and just vomited blood."
Then he carried her into the inner room and placed her on her own bed. She also cooperated and "fainted".
More and more villagers gathered outside the courtyard, surrounding the father and son. Some women also followed them into the courtyard, wanting to see how Huanxi was doing.
"How's Huanxi? How's she?" Old Mrs. Tian came over panting, followed by Lu Lin who was supporting Old Master Lu, and Liu.
"Mrs. Tian, please go and take a look. Huanxi is vomiting blood. I'm afraid he's not in good condition." Someone in the crowd said this, but the old lady was so frightened that she almost jumped up.
Zhao Huanxi, who was lying on the bed, heard Old Lady Tian's voice and felt that his acting skills would reach their peak tonight.
"Girl, girl, are you okay?" Old Mrs. Tian came in and saw several people in the room.
Three maids and a woman dressed as a woman were secretly wiping their tears, and an extremely elegant beauty was sitting by the bed taking the patient's pulse.
"Old lady." Yu Yan called out and stood up to give her the seat.
Old Mrs. Tian sat down beside the bed and looked at the fainted Huanxi with a sad face.
"What kind of thing is this? How could this heartless and rotten thing think of burning down his own daughter's house?" She said, her eyes filled with tears of heartache.
Huanxi woke up slowly and called out weakly, "Mom..."
