“Father has recovered long ago. The scars on Mother’s body healed a little slower, but they’ve also scabbed, so in a few days, there won’t be a problem anymore!” Li Xiaoqing replied, “Fortunately, Brother-in-law’s medical skills are brilliant and the ointment he made is very effective. Otherwise, it would have taken a long time for her to recover!”
Li Xiaoran had to admit that her husband had very good medical skills.
With the same herbs, the medicine he concocted was much more effective than others.
“Sister, you don’t know, but I went to see Liu Mingkun. He looks very ugly now. There are dark circles around his eyes, and he looks very haggard. Moreover, he has visibly lost weight, and his face looks sallow. To be honest, if I hadn’t seen him become like this with my own eyes, I would have suspected if he was Liu Mingkun!” Li Xiaoqing thought of something and smiled in a schadenfreude manner.
These words reminded Li Xiaoran.
“That’s right. We have to tidy up Liu Mingkun’s appearance on the day of the public trial. At least, it can’t be too different from before! Otherwise, what if the victims can’t recognize Liu Mingkun?”
“That’s right! How about this? I’ll get Brother Ziyang to send someone to force some food into Liu Mingkun’s mouth every day and let him eat more. Perhaps he can gain weight! Didn’t Aunt Hui say before that when someone raises ducks, they can open the duck’s mouth and stuff the food in? That way, the ducks will become much fatter!” Li Xiaoqing immediately thought of a good idea.
“Sure. Hurry up and ask Ziyang to arrange for someone to try!” Li Xiaoran also felt that this was a good idea and immediately nodded in agreement.
At the same time, Yu Peng and Jiao Hang reported some information they had obtained to Luo Cheng in the study after going to Daxing Village and Huaiqi Village for the next few days.
“Mr. Luo, there are indeed many conflicts between Huaiqi Village and Daxing Village over the river water, but it’s far from reaching the point of hatred. More than ten years ago, someone already stood up to mediate the conflict between the two villages and set the rules for the use of water. Today, the water will be used by Huaiqi Village, and tomorrow, the water will be used by Daxing Village. The handover will take place every afternoon. Therefore, what Liu Mingkun said about generations of hatred is pure nonsense!” Yu Peng told him everything he had heard.
“That’s right. Mr. Luo, what happened between Liu Mingkun and Qi Juan, the daughter of the village chief of Daxing Village, is partly true. Previously, Qi Juan did fall in love with Liu Mingkun, but later on, Qi Juan gradually realized that Liu Mingkun wasn’t a good person, so she distanced herself from him.
Unexpectedly, in a fit of anger, Liu Mingkun actually poisoned Qi Juan in order to get her to beg him. In the end, Qi Juan would rather wait for death than beg
Liu Mingkun! ”
At this point, Jiao Hang hesitated for a moment before making a certain decision.
“Mr. Luo, can we send someone who’s good at detoxification to take a look at Miss Qi Juan?! If we can detoxify her poison, it’ll be considered doing a good deed!”
Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows when he heard Jiao Hang’s words. “I’m not related to Miss Qi Juan, so why should I help her?” Jiao Hang was stunned when he heard Luo Cheng’s words.
He didn’t know what to say now!
When Yu Peng heard Luo Cheng’s words, he immediately laughed.
“Don’t you like Miss Qi? Beg Mr. Luo for help. After you marry Miss Qi Juan, won’t you be able to ask Mr. Luo to help save her?”
“But even if I’m interested in Miss Qi, she might not like me!” Jiao Hang said embarra.s.sedly, “Mr. Luo, to be honest, I like Miss Qi, but I can’t lie to you just because I like Miss Qi!”
Luo Cheng smiled at Jiao Hang.
“You’re right! Since you like Miss Qi, I’ll help you! No matter what, I have to work hard to detoxify Miss Qi so that my subordinate can get a wife!”
This time, Jiao Hang quickly thanked Luo Cheng.
“Thank you, Mr. Luo. Thank you!”
Luo Cheng waved at Jiao Hang. Then, he got down to business.
“You know what to do next. Yu Peng, you’re in charge of listing Liu Mingkun’s crimes one by one. You have to ensure that there are witnesses and evidence. At the same time, pay attention to protecting those victims. In three days, arrange for people to secretly protect the victims. I don’t know if the person behind Liu Mingkun will appear, but the other party might attack. Therefore, these victims are very important!”
“Leave the gathering of information to Yu Peng. Let me protect the victims!” When Jiao Hang heard Luo Cheng’s words, he took the initiative to say, “Mr. Luo, I think we should bring all the victims to town in advance. It’s best to protect them closely!”
Luo Cheng shook his head and said, “Jiao Hang, your idea is for the sake of saving time, but for this matter, that won’t do. It’s better to secretly arrange for people to protect the victims! Since it’s a public trial, we have to follow the requirements of the public trial.”
Jiao Hang understood what Mr. Luo meant and nodded.
“Mr. Luo, don’t worry, I’ll arrange it! We can’t use the officials’ manpower, but I still have many martial artists I know. I’ll ask them for help!”
When Luo Cheng heard Jiao Hang’s words, he thought about it and felt that this was a good idea.
“Alright, contact your friends in the martial world and secretly protect them. I’ll also arrange for people to protect them. I’ll also get someone to arrange for people to protect the officials. This should be enough!”
“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements now! ” Jiao Hang nodded and immediately got up to go out.
Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “Jiao Hang, you have to trust the friends you choose. In addition, I owe anyone who helps me a small favor. In the future, as long as it’s a small request within a reasonable range, I’ll resolve it accordingly!”
When Jiao Hang heard Luo Cheng’s words, he nodded. “Thank you, Mr. Luo. I’ll definitely handle this matter well!”
To be honest, with Luo Cheng’s promise, he believed that his friends would definitely do a good job.
After watching Jiao Hang leave, Yu Peng smiled and said, “Jiao Hang’s greatest strength is that he has many friends. As long as he wants to, he can mingle with many people and become friends with others.
Luo Cheng smiled when he heard Yu Peng’s words.
“Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.. Why compare your shortcomings with others’ strengths?! In my eyes, you’re all talents!”
