Section Thirty-Seven: Close Range Rescue

  ♂?,,

  The man in green nodded: "That's natural. Brother, I'm going to take action now, don't have any grievances, I'm also doing it for the money."

  Just as he finished speaking, the stick was just raised, and then someone on the side shouted: "Under the clear sky, are you not afraid of the law?"

  The man in blue was suddenly enraged: "Who! Who else is pretending to be a knight?"

  Turning back, his own gang had dispersed in an instant. He followed the sound and looked over to see a person standing beside Han Qi. The man in green clothes suddenly felt a chill, he knew that person, not just him, all the hoodlums in Bianjing knew! Nan Xiaozhao!

  Zhan Zhao was followed by four people, three of whom were older and walked with Zhan Zhao, while the fourth person wore a cangue and a prisoner's uniform, walking behind Zhan Zhao and the others. It was none other than Bai Yutang, the White Jade Mouse.

  That man in green knew Zhan Zhao, and when he saw the "Imperial Cat" with the golden seal of the Emperor, he didn't dare to stay any longer. In his heart, he was secretly resentful towards his subordinates, who had run away without saying a word to him.

  He spotted a relatively short tree, and suddenly sprinted over, hoping to jump over the wall from the top of the tree. As soon as he moved, one foot had just stepped onto the tree, and before he could gain momentum to climb up, someone behind him grabbed him down: "Come down, kid! Old Master Lu is the ancestor of climbing trees, you think you can run away from me? Maybe next life!"

  Chen Yuan saw Zhan Zhao and was truly excited in his heart. To be honest, he had never thought that one day he would look forward to the appearance of a Jianghu figure by his side!

  Chen Yuan rushed to the front of Zhan Zhao, and didn't care about any etiquette anymore. He grabbed Zhan Zhao's sleeve: "Lord Zhan, take me to see Lord Bao, I have a grievance to report."

  Zhan Zhao suddenly jumped out from behind Bai Yutang: "Brother Chen, who bullied you? I'll go help you get revenge right now!"

  As soon as these words came out, the other three people shouted in unison: "Lao Wu, you can't be so presumptuous!"

  Bai Yutang only then remembered that he was still a prisoner, glanced at Zhan Zhao and explained to the other three old mice: "Big brother, this is Chen Shimin, Brother Chen, who helped me out."

  Zhan Zhao Wei smiled slightly: "Helping to hide stolen goods?"

  Bai Yutang at this time obviously had a lot of admiration for Zhan Zhao, and said with a fist: "Brother Zhan, we agreed that I would take care of those few cases, why mention others?"

  Zhan Zhao looked at Chen Yuan: "Let's go back to Kaifeng Prefecture together. If there's any grievance, tell me first."

  Helping up the pseudo-chivalrous guest Han Qi who had been knocked to the ground, the group headed towards Kaifeng Prefecture. Chen Yuan secretly thought that what he feared most was meeting Bao Zheng, but this time for the sake of Lian Hua and Yang Zhanggui, he could only grit his teeth and go through with it.

  He told Zhan Zhao the whole story, and Zhan Zhao's eyebrows furrowed as he listened. Based on his years of experience, if things were really as Chen Yuan said, there must be some unmentionable secrets involved.

  Zhan Zhao immediately made a promise: "Brother Chen, rest assured, as soon as we return to Kaifeng Prefecture, I will find Lord Bao. If it is indeed a miscarriage of justice, I will definitely clear your name."

  Just then Chen Yuan's wine shop was smashed. Those people seemed to be still not satisfied, and they smashed into the Yue Lai Inn again.

  Father was taken away, Chen Yuan just said to run and run, those scholars are now one by one dare not speak, Liang Hua stands in the main hall, looking at those people smashing their own things, also don't know what to do for good, tears rolling down.

  Just as those rascals were becoming more and more outrageous, a middle-aged man suddenly came in from outside the door, with a kind face and a benevolent appearance, looking very amiable, it was none other than Pang An.

  Pang An first glanced at Ling Hua, then shouted loudly: "Stop! All of you stop!"

  The lotus flower looked up and saw that it was the uncle who had guided her to Xiangguo Temple, she felt helpless at this time and urgently needed someone to help her block the wind and rain.

  Those thugs saw someone daring to speak out and immediately came up with their sticks: "Who is it?"

  Pang An furrowed his brow, walked up and gently patted the shoulders of Lian Hua: "It's okay, miss, don't cry. If there's anything bothering you, just tell me."

  Those thugs hadn't even approached yet, when four or five burly men burst in from the door and started punching those thugs with their fists, knocking them to the ground in just a few blows.

  "After those rascals have been knocked down, Pang An said coldly: 'Take them to the government office for punishment!'"

  Diamond heard this and finally lifted her head, looking at Pang An, then suddenly knelt down on the ground. Pang An hurriedly helped her up: "Miss, let's talk it over, don't be like this, first get up."

  "Uncle, can you save my dad? My dad was wrongly accused!"

  Pang An nodded: "Alright, I still know a few familiar faces in the government office. Come on, let's take our time and talk about what happened. Since I promised to help, I will."

  Diamond felt he finally saw hope, busily got up, first picked up the teapot: "Uncle, I'll pour you some tea."

  Pang An's expression was enough to confuse a naive girl like Linghua, especially when she was in a state of panic and helplessness. As he watched Linghua walk away to pour tea, Pang An let out a cold smile in his heart, thinking that this prey had already fallen into his trap. All he needed to do was pretend to investigate the case and come back with some frightening words, and Linghua would surely obey him.

  Chen Yuan stood on the great hall of Kaifeng Prefecture, anxiously waiting for Bao Zheng to ascend the court.

  Time passed like incense, and the drumbeat of the ascending hall sounded. A group of captors entered in a file amidst the drumbeats, followed by Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Chao, Ma Han, and others.

  After the bailiffs stood still, Gong Sun Ce took out the document and sat down at a small table beside him. Finally, Wang Chao shouted loudly: "The court is in session!"

  Bao Zheng finally walked out of the back hall. Chen Yuan carefully looked at Bao Zheng and found that there was no crescent moon between his eyebrows as rumored, but it was quite dark. Round face, thin lips, big eyes.

  A stern expression flowed from his eyes, paired with his black face that had no hint of a smile, making people feel a sense of awe.

  Zhan Zhao had apparently already told Bao Zheng the general plot, and after Bao Zheng ascended to the bench, he first lightly tapped the wooden signboard and then asked: "Where is Chen Shimei?"

  Chen Yuan quickly walked to the middle of the hall, knelt down and said: "I am Chen Shimei."

  Bao Zheng's eyes sized up Chen Yuan for a moment before he said, "What injustice have you suffered?"

  Chen Yuan recounted what had just happened at the Yue Lai Inn, and Bao Zheng did not interrupt him while he was speaking, only occasionally exchanging a few glances with Gong Sun Ce who was responsible for taking notes beside him.

  After Chen Yuan finished telling the story, Bao Zheng asked: "Is everything true?"

  Chen Yuan was kneeling for the first time, he had never knelt down to anyone before. After a long time, his legs were numb, and he secretly stretched out his hand behind him to rub them: "I dare not deceive you, sir!"

  Bao Zheng gave a signal with his eyes, and Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to pull the man in green up as well. With a burst of internal energy, he slammed the man onto the floor of the main hall, right next to Chen Yuan.
