Chapter 212 Rescue
The old beggar next to him scolded, "Why are you stealing again?"
The little beggar trembled: "I'm hungry..."
"How much silver was there originally?" Song Ruize asked.
The little beggar said nothing. The beggar next to him said, "Two pieces of silver, plus thirty copper coins."
"Where's the money?" asked the old beggar.
The little beggar took it out of his arms and handed it over sobbing.
Song Ruize took the money, put it into his purse, then took out a piece of silver from his pocket and threw it to the little beggar.
The little beggar's eyes were full of light: "Thank you, sir."
Song Ruize stuffed the purse into his arms, said a few words to the leader of the beggars, and turned to leave.
While Song Ruize was looking for someone in the rain, Qin Huiyin came out of the shower. Li Taohua was waiting for her in the room. When she saw her come out, she took a dry towel and twisted her hair.
"Where is my brother?" Qin Huiyin asked.
"He said there was something going on at the dam, so he went back to take care of it and would come back later."
"Sister Luwu hasn't come back yet?"
"I've sent someone to look for him, don't worry." Li Taohua said.
The more Qin Huiyin thought about it, the more worried she became, but Li Taohua forced her not to move and had already sent people to look for her. It was useless for her to be anxious and she still had to wait for news.
As the sky grew darker, the men who had been sent out came back one after another, but still had not brought back Tang Luwu.
Gong Qi from the roast duck restaurant came in holding an umbrella. When he stopped at the door, the waiter came to greet him.
He handed the umbrella to the waiter, strode in, and said to Qin Huiyin and others, "Is your Miss Tang not back yet?"
"Do you know where she is?"
"I just collected the payment for the goods and rushed back from outside the city. When I passed by the dilapidated temple, I saw many people. I squeezed in and saw your Miss Tang inside, along with many government officials."
"Let's go and take a look." Li Taohua said.
"Our carriage is right outside and will give you a ride."
Tang Dafu and his wife, along with Qin Huiyin, boarded Gong Qi's carriage and headed for the dilapidated temple he had just passed. Arriving there, they found it was packed with people, just as he had said.
They squeezed into the crowd, looking for Tang Luwu's figure among the crowd.
Tang Luwu wrapped herself in clothes, snuggled tightly in Tang Yichen's arms, and cried suppressedly.
"Sister Luwu."
Tang Luwu heard their voices and turned around. When she saw Qin Huiyin and others, she cried and threw herself into Qin Huiyin's arms.
"Yinyin, I almost died just now."
"What exactly happened?" Li Taohua asked.
"I wanted to give my brother an umbrella, but he was walking too fast, so I had to run faster to catch up. I had just reached the corner when someone knocked me unconscious, and I woke up in a dilapidated temple."
"Is it that crazy woman Li Erniu?"
"It's her." Tang Luwu nodded. "She's crazy, but she still recognizes our family members. She said that she became like this because of our family members, and she wants to get rid of our family members one by one. I'm the dumbest and easiest to deceive, so I'm her first target. She has a knife in her hand and wants to kill me..."
"Where's that crazy woman?"
"She heard someone outside and ran away. The Song family member led people to chase her, but we don't know if they can catch up."
Tang Dafu looked at Tang Yichen: "Boss, when did you come?"
"The shop assistant came to look for me, and I learned that Lv Wu had gone out and hadn't returned yet. I followed her to look for her and met Song Ruize. He said his people had found Lv Wu, so I hurried over to see. When we came in, Li Erniu had already escaped through the back door. I stayed behind to take care of Lv Wu, and he and his men chased after her."
Just as Tang Yichen finished speaking, Song Ruize came back with his men, escorting Li Erniu.
Li Erniu was disheveled, talking nonsense, and started to act crazy again.
"Brother, I heard that she had a knife in her hand. Are you okay?" Qin Huiyin stepped forward.
"It's okay." Song Ruize pulled out a dagger from his waist. "This is her murder weapon."
"Brother Song, thank you so much for what you did just now." Tang Luwu came forward to express her gratitude.
There was a wound on Tang Luwu's neck, not deep, and the bleeding had stopped.
Song Ruize said calmly: "Don't thank me, thank Yinyin instead. I helped her because I didn't want her to be sad."
Tang Yichen bowed and saluted: "Thank you."
Song Ruize raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and accepted his thank you gift.
Captain Feng came over and said to Song Ruize, "You are really my lucky star, you always help me achieve merit."
"Is there any thank you gift?"
"I'll treat you to a drink tonight."
"Ahem..." Song Ruize coughed lightly, "I don't drink."
Captain Feng glanced at Qin Huiyin and suddenly realized: "Yes, you can't drink, you are still young!"
"Brother Feng, what will happen to her?" Qin Huiyin muttered in the direction of Li Erniu.
"Attempted murder, sentence him to exile!" said Captain Feng.
"Sir, she didn't attempt murder, she was a murderer," Li Taohua said. "She killed her mother-in-law in the village."
"Is the body still there?"
"Buried."
"Then we'll have to open the coffin and perform an autopsy," Captain Feng said. "I'll report the truth to the county magistrate when I get back, and he'll make the final decision."
"This person is being held in solitary confinement. Be careful she doesn't hurt others," Qin Huiyin reminded.
Captain Feng and Song Ruize looked at each other.
The two of them had a tacit understanding.
Solitary confinement? That's impossible.
Song Ruize had already informed Captain Feng. Wasn't this crazy woman just pretending to be crazy? Before the verdict was made, let her go to the prison and experience the consequences of her evil deeds.
Qin Huiyin took Tang Luwu's hand and carefully examined her injuries.
In addition to the scratch on the neck, there were several wounds on the arms.
"If she hadn't gone crazy in the middle of the fight and kept shouting 'Don't hit me' and 'Baoyu, don't hit mother', I would have had no chance of living to see you." Tang Luwu's face was pale.
"It's okay. She's been caught."
Seeing Song Ruize about to leave, Qin Huiyin thought about how he had been busy for so long and hadn't even had a warm meal, so she took a few steps forward and said, "Brother, do you have anything else to do later?"
"No."
"Then let's go to the restaurant for dinner. I'll cook a few side dishes." Qin Huiyin turned around and said to Captain Feng, "Brother Feng, if you don't mind, come join us!"
"Since you said that, I won't refuse." Captain Feng laughed. "Brothers, Miss Qin, the sister of General Song, is treating us to a good meal today. Let's thank Miss Qin."
"Thank you, Miss Qin."
"You go ahead. I'll take my brothers to take the prisoner to the jail, and then report today's case to the county magistrate."
"Okay, we'll wait for you at Sister Chuanchuanxiang." Qin Huiyin said, "If you don't come, we'll be hungry all the time."
"If there's wine and meat, I'll definitely come."
Tang Luwu pulled Tang Yichen's arm: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"If anything happens to you today, I will never forgive myself in my life."
"Brother, this is none of your business. You didn't know something like this would happen. Besides, this lunatic has been trying to take over our family, if not today then tomorrow."
