Chapter 132: Cut the Nonsense

Wen Yu laughed in anger.
“From the looks of it, you’re also a person who walks in the martial arts world. Why didn’t you say so before you attacked us? Now, you had no choice but to lower your head because you couldn’t gain any advantage.”
“I advise you to be sensible and not force us to be ruthless.”
If it wasn’t for Heng Yi’s strong martial arts, they would have died here today.
“Cut the crap, walk by yourself.” Heng Yi said.
They were actually extremely cold at this moment.
Compared to Heng Yi’s tenacity, they were far from bearing the cold.
The man who had been slashed screamed in pain.
The man in the bamboo hat said in a deep voice, “It seems like you’re not going to let this go.”
It wasn’t a big deal at first, but since they have attacked the officer, things could get worse.
Heng Yi stood aside and didn’t say anything.
From the beginning to the end, it was impossible to be good.
The man in the bamboo hat supported the injured man and said to the other man who was still furious, “Let’s go.”
Then, he glared at Heng Yi.
He would remember this man’s name.
Heng Yi didn’t say anything. In this line of work, he couldn’t avoid offending people.
No matter who this person was, he had to do his part.
They could not move as quickly as they had left, especially when there was an injured person among them.
Although he was allowed to ride on the cow’s back, the other two were obviously not very cooperative.
Moreover, these two people wanted to escape whenever they had the chance.
If they had met someone else, they would have escaped, but they met Heng Yi and Wen Yu.
They can’t beat Heng Yi, and they don’t have as many tricks as Wen Yu.
Wen Yu kept a close eye on them.
Back in Puyi County, the man who stole the cow confessed everything after being beaten.
He and the old man who raised the cow were relatives.
The county magistrate ordered the thief to be locked up and sent people to pick up Heng Yi and the others.
They also brought along the old man too. If he recognizes the cow, they would let the old man bring it back home. But if he doesn’t recognize it as his own, they would have to keep it for safekeeping in the government office and no one will raise the cow for him. If it dies in the government office, the old man would still have to pay compensation.
Therefore, there was an additional carriage prepared.
Han Qiao had already asked her men to prepare all the dishes and stewed the ones that should be stewed.
He also asked Dong Lai to make a trip to Heng Yi’s office.
Dong Lai came to the government office with a smile. “Constable, have the constables gone to the government office?”
As Dong Lai spoke, he followed Han Qiao’s instructions and secretly handed over a hundred copper coins.
After the bailiff took it, he said, “We have work to do today. We are all busy. What do you want?”
“My Master is also a constable. Didn’t he say that they’re going to the residence for dinner today? Madam asked this humble servant to come and take a look.” “From Constable Heng’s residence?”
Dong Lai nodded repeatedly. “That’s right.”
The bailiff instantly became much more polite. He approached Dong Lai and whispered, “An old man lost his cow. Your Master and the civil constable went to chase the thief.”
“Oh,” Dong Lai nodded repeatedly.
He understood.
He thanked the bailiff and hurried back to report to Han Qiao.
Han Qiao thought for a moment and said, “Get someone to wait at the city gate.”
“If the Master and the others come back, let them come straight home.”
She also made people boil some water.
It was a gray day, and she was worried that Heng Yi and the others might get caught in the rain.
He also ordered people to buy straw raincoats and bamboo hats, as Heng Yi would need them in the future.
“Buying a few sets is also good for the family.”
Seeing that the sky was darkening, the county magistrate, advisor, and official sent people to the manor to pass on the message that they would not be coming over tonight.
That they would come another day.
Han Qiao couldn’t let the servant come to deliver the message for nothing.
It was a simple, plain-colored purse with two hundred coins inside.
She also wanted to be more generous, but her strength did not allow it.
It was said that money could make the world go round. Han Qiao learned from the three men that Constable Qin had brought others to meet Heng Yi and the others. All in all, it was only a matter of time before they would come over for dinner.
Therefore, she still had to get someone to prepare it. Even if they didn’t come, they could still eat it tomorrow.
Constable Qin and the others did receive Heng Yi and Wen Yu.
Two of them were drenched, and the other three were not much better. The injured one seemed to be dying because of excessive blood loss.
When the old man saw the cow, he began to cry. “This is my cow, this is my cow!”
“Since it’s your cow, hurry up and bring it back.”
“Thank you, Officers. Thank you, Officers!”
The old man stroked the cow as if he was his family.
This was the support of the entire family. With this old cow, there was still some hope in life.
The injured man was thrown into the carriage.
Although the other two were not shackled, they were treated as prisoners.
By the time they reached the city gate, the sky was already dark.
Knowing that these constables were out of the city on business, someone was waiting at the gate. Even Dong Lai was invited to the house to avoid the wind.
It was said that the prime minister was a seventh-grade official. Who knew when his master would become rich?
When he saw Heng Yi and the others, Dong Lai immediately went to them, “Master.”
Heng Yi jumped off his horse. “Why are you here?”
“Madam asked me to wait here.”
Heng Yi nodded. “Go back and tell Madam to prepare the food. We’ll be back soon.”
“Yes.”
Dong Lai immediately drove the carriage back home.
Heng Yi and the others went to the government office.
The injured ones needed to be bandaged up a little. As for the others, their lives were up to fate.
The other two were to be locked up in prison and await punishment.
After these trivial matters were settled, Heng Yi said, “Let’s go. The food is ready.”
“Then go back and change your clothes.”
“We’re not going to work tomorrow anyway, so we’ll have to drink a few more glasses tonight.”
They had to go home to change their clothes and come clean.
Heng Yi also goes home first.
Han Qiao’s heart ached when he came back drenched.
“Hurry up and take a hot bath to warm yourself up.”
“Alright.”
As he soaked in the steaming hot bath, his fatigue dissipated quite a bit.
Especially when his wife helped to scrub his back and wash his hair, Heng Yi felt that the life of an immortal was nothing more than this.
After washing, Heng Yi put on thick clothes. Even his cotton shoes were new, soft, and warm.
“Did you dry it yourself?”
“I didn’t do it, I asked Shulan to dry it for me.” Han Qiao said gently.
“Thank you.”
Even so, Heng Yi was still touched.
The feeling of being cared for, loved, and remembered was sweeter than eating honey.
“We’re going into the mountains tomorrow. 1’11 see if there’s any honey.”
“Alright.”
Han Qiao wouldn’t refuse anything Heng Yi did for the family.
“Hurry up and wait by the door. Your colleagues should be here soon.”
“Yes.”
Heng Yi waited at the door for a while, and then someone came.
They all walked here. After all, not everyone had the money to buy horses and carriages.
“Aiya, Heng Yi, your house is really nice.”
“Come over whenever you have the time.” Heng Yi said.
“You said it yourself. We will come back more often!”
The group of people laughed and went to the dining room.
A brazier was lit in the dining room. It was warm when they entered. The wine and dishes were already on the table.
He could move his chopsticks after washing his hands.
“I didn’t even get to eat such a sumptuous meal during the New Year. This trip was worth it.”
Heng Yi called everyone to sit.
Someone was curious. “Heng Yi, you have to introduce us to your wife. Otherwise, if we bump into her on the street, we won’t be able to recognize her.”
“Yes, quickly invite Sister-In-Law out so that everyone can get to know her..”
