Chapter 195 Meeting Peng Xuemin
Chapter 195 Meeting Peng Xuemin
The "war" between Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran ended with Su Xiaoxiao's compromise.
There's nothing we can do about it, it's because Xiao Ran, this dude, is so good at acting cute and spoiled!
This left Su Xiaoxiao helpless and she didn't know how to deal with it.
Xiao Ran was willing to give up only after hearing a satisfactory answer, and continued to push Su Xiaoxiao forward.
As the two walked home, they clearly felt that there were more yamen runners on the street.
They patrolled the streets in groups of five.
Xiao Ran's handsome brows furrowed again.
"You're not serious, are you?"
Su Xiaoxiao also realized, "County Magistrate Cui has sent more people to arrest Peng Xuemin?"
"Looking at the situation, it should be!"
Xiao Ran fell into deep thought again.
"County Magistrate Cui is the most discerning of right and wrong. How could he not see this obvious frame-up? And yet he sent so many people to arrest Peng Xuemin!"
Su Xiaoxiao thought about it.
"Given County Magistrate Cui's status and position, he should be acting on orders! He wouldn't even be able to get involved in a major case like this one!"
Xiao Ran curled his lips.
"You're right! I really hope Peng Xuemin doesn't get caught!"
County Magistrate Cui, who was handling official business in the yamen, suddenly sneezed three times.
The clerk beside him asked worriedly, "Is the master ill?"
County Magistrate Cui raised his hand and said, "No problem! I don't know why I suddenly sneezed!"
After saying that, he continued to handle his business with his head down.
It's just that he was a little distracted today.
He didn't want to arrest Peng Xuemin, but he had to cooperate due to his duty.
He prayed in his heart, hoping that Peng Xuemin had escaped far away from Changming County and fled to a safe place.
At night, after Xiao Ran took care of Su Xiaoxiao to sleep, he returned to Youfenglai Restaurant alone.
During this period, he rarely returned to the Xiao Mansion and spent most of his time at Youfenglai Restaurant.
There were very few people on the streets at night.
You have to walk a long way before you see one or two people.
Xiao Ran hummed a little tune as he walked forward. When he passed the entrance of an alley, a man suddenly appeared in the alley, covered his mouth from behind, and dragged him into the alley.
He was startled and surprised at the same time.
Just imagine the entire Changming County, who would dare to take advantage of him?
He tried to pry open the big hand covering his mouth, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't.
He was so anxious!
His hands are so strong, what did he eat to grow up like this?
Xiao Ran was dragged into the alley, and he heard the other person whisper in his ear: "I'm really sorry, I was forced to do this. As long as you are willing to help me, I promise not to hurt you, okay? If you agree, just nod your head."
Xiao Ran was curious about the other party's identity and nodded.
The other party slowly let go of his hand, Xiao Ran turned around and looked at him.
In the dim light, he looked at the other person carefully and saw his face clearly.
His pupils shrank slightly and he cried out in surprise.
"You...you are Peng...wuwu..."
Before he could finish his words, the other party covered his mouth again.
"Hush! Since you recognize me, you must not tell me my name! Unless you want to claim the reward!"
The other party was none other than Peng Xuemin, who was wanted by the court.
Xiao Ran nodded vigorously, then shook his head.
Peng Xuemin was a little confused.
"what do you mean?"
Xiao Ran pointed at Peng Xuemin's hand and signaled him to let go. Peng Xuemin hesitated for a moment, but still chose to trust Xiao Ran once and let go.
"I know General Han was wrongly accused. I can't possibly betray you, and I don't even care about the reward!"
Peng Xuemin finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xiao Ran say this.
Having just expended a lot of energy, he leaned weakly against the wall.
Xiao Ran asked nervously, "Are you injured?"
"Um! I need a doctor, can you help me?"
Xiao Ran agreed immediately.
"Of course I can help! But the whole city is looking for you now, I can't just take you back to the restaurant like this!"
He rubbed his chin and thought about it.
"Peng..."
He realized that he couldn't call out the other person's name, for fear of being heard and getting into trouble, so he immediately changed his words.
"Hey, you! Wait here for a moment. I'll make some arrangements and be back soon. Don't worry, I'll definitely help you!"
Peng Xuemin kept looking into Xiao Ran's eyes. He was not sure whether what Xiao Ran said was true. He was gambling!
Given the current situation, he can only take a gamble.
His injury has lasted for many days. If he is not treated in time, his life may be in danger.
In the end, he was either found dead on the streets or caught by police.
It doesn't matter if he loses his life, but he will regret it for the rest of his life because he can't continue to find evidence that General Han was wrongly accused.
Instead of doing that, he might as well take a chance and ask for help.
If he meets a kind person, maybe his life can be saved.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here!"
Xiao Ran first rummaged through his body, took out all the silver and money he had, and handed it to Peng Xuemin.
"Take this money first."
After putting down the money, he turned around and ran towards Youfenglai Restaurant.
He had just thought of a way to help Peng Xuemin.
He couldn't take Peng Xuemin back to the restaurant, but he could take him somewhere else.
He returned to the restaurant and called the shopkeeper Guan to his private room.
"Manager Guan, I need to borrow your place for a while."
Shopkeeper Guan was puzzled, "Young Master, are you going to live in my house?"
"No, I'm not going to your house. I'm just borrowing your private residence."
Xiao Ran knew that Manager Guan had a private residence in the city.
"What's wrong, Master?"
Shopkeeper Guan also realized something and asked nervously.
If it weren't for something serious, Xiao Ran wouldn't have asked him to borrow his private house.
"There aren't many people in your courtyard. I want to send someone to you. I can't let anyone know his identity, let alone reveal his whereabouts!"
Then, Xiao Ran told Manager Guan about his plan to save Peng Xuemin.
Manager Guan also admired General Han Fei and immediately agreed.
"Master, I'll go prepare the room and call the doctor. Just bring the patient over!"
"it is good!"
Xiao Ran immediately called Donglai and drove the carriage straight to the alley where Peng Xuemin was.
Peng Xuemin was already weak and hallucinating at this point.
With his last bit of consciousness, he waited for Xiao Ran to appear, and finally slowly closed his eyes and fainted.
Xiao Ran was terrified, fearing that something might happen to Peng Xuemin.
He stretched out his finger and probed Peng Xuemin's nose to make sure that he was still breathing, and then he felt relieved.
He and Donglai stood on both sides of Peng Xuemin, put Peng Xuemin on the carriage, and went to the private residence of Manager Guan.
A quarter of an hour later, they finally arrived at the private residence of Manager Guan.
Manager Guan had been waiting at the back door. When he saw Xiao Ran's carriage coming, he immediately opened the door to greet them and together they sent Peng Xuemin to the room.
Just as Peng Xuemin was settled, the doctor that Manager Guan had found also arrived.
The doctor had a good personal relationship with the shopkeeper Guan. Adhering to the principle of a doctor's heart, he examined Peng Xuemin and treated his wounds.
Manager Guan didn't tell him who the patient was, but he had already guessed the other person's identity.
In his heart, he also admired and appreciated General Han Fei. Even if he recognized that the other party was a wanted criminal by the court, he would not say a word.
Only after treating Peng Xuemin's wound and prescribing medicine did he speak.
"Although his injury isn't fatal, it's been delayed for too long and has damaged his body. He needs a good rest. Take these medicines on time, and come back to me when you're done."
Shopkeeper Guan looked at the doctor seriously, which was rare.
"Brother, if someone asked you what you did here tonight, how would you answer?"
