Chapter 1629 Captain Sun
Chapter 1629 Captain Sun
Chen Qingsheng was scared. He realized that this was a sign that He Ye was going crazy. He gently touched He Ye with his hand and said softly, "He Ye, are you okay?"
He Ye didn't give Chen Qingsheng any response, but she had already slowly crawled up from the ground. Not only could He Ye stand up, she could also walk.
Chen Qingsheng panicked and stood up as well. "He Ye, where are you going?"
He Ye walked towards the crowd in a daze. She no longer had eyes for anyone. Everyone automatically made way for He Ye. As she walked, He Ye suddenly started running wildly.
Chen Qingsheng screamed, pressed his ribs and ran out sideways.
Seeing the men running away, Captain Sun became anxious. He stretched his neck and yelled, "Hey, both of you, come back! I still need to take you back for questioning!"
Chen Qingsheng didn't care about the yamen runners who came to handle the case. "You guys try those two scoundrels first. I'll go to the yamen to stand trial later."
Captain Sun thought that the two men were familiar with the prince and were also street vendors, so it would not be difficult to find them. As long as the bad guys were in good hands, the case would not be unsolved. He ordered people to take Liu Dalan and her daughter to the government office.
Hebao was so frightened that she was stunned. She no longer had the heroic demeanor she had when she beat someone just now. Her jade hairpin fell to the ground, a strand of hair was disheveled, and her face was covered with tears and snot. Without the yamen runners holding her up, she would have fallen to the ground like a puddle of mud.
"Mom? Where are they taking us?"
Liu Dalan was still struggling, still trying to act tough. "What are you afraid of? If they catch us, they have to release us. We have people behind us. Who dares to touch us?"
The guard guarding them said, "Boss, they are trying to collude with each other."
"Hmph, how dare they collude with each other right under my nose, Constable Sun? You really don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has! Come, shut them both up."
"Yes!"
Liu Dalan wanted to open her mouth, but a piece of rag was stuffed into her mouth. Hebao's mouth was also stuffed with rags. They could only make whimpering sounds that sounded like they were asking for help. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to what they were trying to express through their desperate sobs.
Da Yan looked at the two bullies being taken away and the crowd that was about to disperse. Why couldn't he find the stall owner no matter how hard he tried?
Da Yan was so anxious that he walked around in the half-dispersed crowd, but he couldn't find He Ye and Chen Qingsheng.
He scratched his head and asked the onlookers about the whereabouts of the two stall owners. Everyone laughed and said that the female stall owner had gone crazy and the male stall owner had gone after her.
Big Eyes didn't believe it. The female stall owner had given him copper coins several times. Although the man was cold, he was a good person. How could a good person be crazy? He thought those people must have made a mistake.
So Big Eyes walked around the two messy stalls, and finally had to put down the broken bowl in his hand, take off his tattered jacket, and start picking up those miserable kites one by one. He couldn't find a single intact one, so it seemed that he had to burn them all.
Although the lotus leaf's embroidery thread was not tangled together, it was covered with dust after rolling everywhere. It seemed that the embroidery thread could not be sold even after being sorted out. No matter how far it rolled, anyone who saw it would pick it up. Unfortunately, he couldn't find the lotus leaf basket, so he had to put all the things on Chen Qingsheng's cart.
He stayed by the cart all the time, waiting for the two stall owners to come back and give him copper coins, while also dreaming that his wealthy prince would give him four taels of silver.
But Da Yan didn't know that He Ye had gone mad and had already run all the way out of the north city. Chen Qingsheng broke two ribs and risked his life to chase her. Meanwhile, the wealthy man in his mind, Cheng Feng, was playing Cuju with his son and a group of strong men.
So it was destined that he would wait in vain this time.
……
"Brother Li, please help me stop He Ye." Chen Qingsheng covered his face with the excruciating pain of broken bones and chased He Ye all the way north. He dodged everyone he saw. No one would stop a madman for a stranger.
After a long chase, Chen Qingsheng finally met two acquaintances. These two people came from the Li village. They were villagers who came to beg with Cheng Tiezhu more than two months ago. They have settled down outside the north city. The house was built by Shang Xi. Not only that, they also rented land and found work in the newly established tobacco factory.
When the two saw that it was He Ye, they chased her back. The crazy He Ye usually needed four guards to guard her, and the three of them were unable to deal with He Ye.
Chen Qingsheng didn't care about anything else. He ran into a grocery store that was not doing very good business, got a rope as thick as a thumb, and the three of them worked together to tie the man up.
"Brother Li, Brother Song, please help me send the person to Prince Pang's mansion!" Chen Qingsheng was sweating profusely and his face was as pale as paper.
Brother Li said, "Even if you don't tell me, I have to help you get the person back. I see you're injured too. What happened?"
Chen Qingsheng held his ribs and said, "Liu Dalan got angry and beat He Ye up when she refused to pay him. I tried to stop her, but I got beaten too. He Ye went crazy, and my ribs were broken. He Ye was running wildly in front of me, and I was chasing her from behind. If I hadn't met you, He Ye would have gotten lost today."
"Why is it Liu Dalan again? You broke your ribs and chased me here from Denghua Street?"
"Brother, it's hard to put it into words! If I can't catch up with her, I'm going to die of suffocation!" In just these two sentences, Chen Qingsheng's waist was almost bent like a bow.
Seeing the situation was not good, Brother Li quickly said, "We have to send you two back!"
……
"Princess, something bad has happened."
Shang Xi and Yuhua were making braised duck feet for Cheng Youning in the kitchen. The father and son who were going out to play Cuju specifically asked for the braised duck feet before leaving. Shang Xi rarely had a few days of leisure at home, so she was racking her brains in the kitchen to make delicious food for her son.
"What's the matter?"
"Princess, Miss He Ye has gone crazy and has been sent back."
"What?" Shang Xi quickly put down the soup spoon in her hand, and Yuhua also began to take off her apron. She also asked what was going on.
The little maid said, "Housekeeper Yuhua, your third uncle is here too. He's not feeling well either. The people who sent them back said he has broken ribs."
Yuhua's hand shook and her apron fell to the ground. "How did my mistress's ribs get broken?"
"I was in a hurry to report the news to the Crown Princess, so I didn't ask too many questions. I only heard that your third uncle broke two ribs."
Yuhua had already gone out, leaving Shang Xi and the maid behind.
When they met people, He Ye was smiling foolishly, but Chen Qingsheng was even worse off, he had already fainted.
Shang Xi quickly sent for a doctor and asked the two elder brothers who had brought them here about the situation. Upon hearing that Liu Dalan and Hebao were responsible, Shang Xi immediately ordered a servant, "Go and bring back the prince, and then go to the prince's mansion to find Brother Chen and Chen Qingliao."
