199 Chapter 199 Someone Saved Them?

Zhou Ying looked at the two people on the ground with a troubled expression.

With others around, she couldn’t kill them and put them into her interspace to be used as fertilizer. However, she was unwilling to let them go.

At this moment, a small bee flew past her, and her eyes lit up. She told Fang Qing, “Comb the two of them and see if there’s any identification. Of course, if there’s money on them, help yourself.”

“I understand. Don’t worry, Mistress.” Fang Qing’s eyes brightened, and he immediately went to work.

Zhou Ying turned around and found the small box that contained the chili powder. She wrapped a small bag of white sugar from her interspace in the small box as a cover.

“Mistress, there’s about four taels of broken silver and silver notes worth around ninety taels.” Fang Qing summarized and handed the silver to her.

“90 taels?” Zhou Ying took it and pondered.

The people who chased after Gu Chengrui last time also seemed to have 90 taels of silver on them. In addition to the broken silver pieces, it was a total of 50 taels of silver per person.

They should be the same group of people and sent by the same person. Otherwise, how could the amount of silver they had on them be so similar?

“Do they have any marks on their bodies?” he asked.

“No, both of them were clean. There wasn’t even a mark on their knives.”

“It seems that the other party is cautious.” Zhou Ying concluded and took out 30 silver. She handed them to Fang Qing and said, “You’ve worked hard. Take this.”

“No need, Mistress. I…”

“Take it. You’re not young anymore. Keep it for your future wife.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she stuffed the banknote into his hand.

The two used their attacker’s rope to tie the two men to a tree. Finally, Zhou Ying asked Fang Qing to go to the river, wet the sugar with it, and smear it on the faces and hands of the two men in black.

After that, she turned her head and saw Doctor Luo squatting in front of the horse, examining it. Zhou Ying walked over and asked, “Grandpa Luo, how’s the horse? Can it be saved?”

Doctor Luo shook his head and said with a grave expression, “Their archery skills are good. One arrow pierced the horse’s windpipe, so you’d be more careful in the future.”

“Thank you for your advice, Grandpa Luo. This was found on their bodies; take it as my apology.” Zhou Ying said this while pulling out three ten-tael silver notes and handing them to him.

Doctor Luo raised his head and refused. “There’s no need. If you really want to help me, prepare a table of wine and food for tonight. I need to have a good drink.”

“Alright, then, it’s a deal. We shouldn’t stay here for long; let’s hurry up and leave.” Zhou Ying reminded them and picked up her small box. She put away all their weapons, picked up the two attackers’ knives, and walked toward Hewan village.

However, they did not walk far before they saw Gu Chengrui sitting in the ox-cart and the coachman talking and laughing. The three finally heaved a sigh of relief.

When Gu Chengrui saw the three of them, especially the bloodstains on Fang Qing’s body, he was worried.

“What happened to you?” he asked.

Zhou Ying did not hide anything and told him what had happened today.

“It seems like they won’t stop until they die.” Gu Chengrui gritted his teeth and cursed.

“Get in the cart. We’ll make a big deal out of this and send them to the county government,” Gu Chengrui decided.

After he finished speaking, he stepped onto the ox-cart first.

Zhou Ying and the other two immediately followed, but when they returned to the small forest, there was no one. Even the broken carriage and the horse’s body were gone.

“Did someone save them?” Fang Qing paused for a moment, then immediately searched around. He knew that they would only wake up after 24 hours if no one came to save them.
