Wanjin Lady

Chapter 393 Come here
It was already night, and the autumn wind was blowing. When she lifted the curtain, the cold wind came in, but was suppressed by the red plum.

Hongmei looked at Wenwan's blushing cheeks, worried that she might catch a cold from drinking too much, so she told Chen Xiaochun outside the carriage, "Brother Xiaochun, go slower..."

Chen Xiaochun was an excellent horse driver. Upon hearing this, he immediately slowed down the carriage, and the shaking in the carriage gradually stopped. Unexpectedly, just as he turned into an alley, the carriage suddenly stopped.

A dozen thugs, all of them fierce-looking, seemed to be chasing someone. Suddenly, they saw Wen Wan's carriage. The two groups of people made eye contact, and Wen Wan heard someone shout, "It's you!"

Wen Wan felt that the voice was very familiar. Just as she was about to lift the curtain to take a look, Chen Xiaochun had already jumped off the carriage. He raised his hand and struck the horse's butt hard with the back of his sword. "Boss, you go first! I'll cover your rear!"

The horse felt pain, let out a long neigh, and rushed forward recklessly pulling the carriage!
Wen Wan and Hong Mei were staggering in the carriage, and were about to rush into a roadside shop. Wen Wan made a quick decision, hugged Hong Mei's waist, kicked open the curtain, and jumped out of the carriage.

Both of them fell to the ground!
"Hongmei, go control the carriage and make sure it doesn't hit anyone! I'll go help Chen Xiaochun!"

Hongmei refused to leave. "Miss, if you bumped into someone, just pay them some money! But Chen Xiaochun's gang is full of hooligans, and we don't know if they're coming for you. I'll go with you!"

Wen Wan shook her hand off, her face furious. "Human life is more important than anything else! Is my life more valuable than others? Go now!"

Hongmei stomped her feet and turned around to chase the horse!

The horse was about to rush into the busy city. Although there were fewer people on the street, if it hit someone, it would either kill or injure them!

Wen Wan rushed into the nearby woodworking shop and took away a long stick as thick as her wrist. She then used the dagger she was carrying to sharpen one end of the stick to make it a self-defense weapon.

I went back the same way I came, but before I even got close, I heard someone yelling at the end of the alley, "Murder! Murder!"

A dozen men who looked like thugs were beating Chen Xiaochun with their bare hands. Chen Xiaochun fell in the crowd, curled up with his head in his hands. The sword in his hand was stained with blood, and not far away... a figure was lying in a pool of blood.

Wen Wan's heart skipped a beat. Someone was killed!

Someone in the crowd saw Wen Wan and said with a cloudy look: "Hey, here comes another little girl!"

"Stop!" Wen Wan used a wooden stick to knock against the tree trunk, making a loud "bang bang bang" sound. The young lady spoke in a crisp voice, not afraid at all. "I am the boss of the Wen Family Winery and the owner of the Red Mansion! I am also the junior sister of Wei, the governor of Tianshui Prefecture! Now, the city is hunting down the Japanese who caused trouble a few days ago. The bodies of the troublemakers have been hung on the city walls! You still dare to gather together to cause trouble? Do you think your head is too tight on your neck?"

The young woman yelled at the main street again, "General Zhao, General Hou, there's trouble over here!"

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves began to clatter, and a moment later, Zhao Heng's voice could be heard: "Hey, why... I seem to hear Miss Wen's voice?"

Wen Wan quickly called out, "General Zhao, this way!"

Seeing that the group of people were losing their composure, Wen Wan took the opportunity to step forward and said, "Why don't you get out of here? Are you waiting for your head to fall off?"

"Let's go, let's go. Li Laosan isn't familiar with us anyway! It's none of our business if he dies!"

The group of people pulled each other out of the alley. Zhao Heng had already rushed to the rescue with a small group of people. "Hey, I told you it was Miss Wen! Were you... attacked?"

"General Zhao, my guy is injured! Please help carry him to the infirmary!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Heng immediately dismounted. The two men helped Chen Xiaochun up from the ground. Chen Xiaochun had been beaten, his head bleeding profusely, and a knife wound in his left abdomen, from which blood flowed continuously. He weakly explained, "Master, that man... that man was the one who slashed me that night... when the Japanese attacked the city... I slashed him... just now he... he recognized me immediately... I was worried that you would be implicated for no reason... so I..." Wen Wan said urgently, "Don't speak yet, I'll take you to the clinic!"

Zhao Heng instructed two of his men to help carry Chen Xiaochun and then headed to the clinic. After walking about half a mile, the curtains in front of the clinic were aggressively pulled aside. A young woman led the group. As soon as she entered, she ordered the people inside. "Where's the doctor? Quick, treat his injuries! Use the best medicine! I'll pay for anything!"

Zhao Heng had already ordered someone to capture the thugs. In the chaotic situation just now, Wen Wan was so focused on saving people that she completely forgot there was another person lying on the ground. Only then did Zhao Heng lead her to the outside of the screen: "Miss Wen, that man is dead. Did you see him the night before?"

"I haven't seen him." Wen Wan shook her head. "Just now, Xiaochun said that this guy was also the scoundrel who caused trouble in the city that night. There have been arrests everywhere in the city these past two days. This guy might be afraid that Xiaochun will report him, so he plans to take preemptive action."

"If that's the case, then death is not a pity!" Zhao Heng was worried that something else might happen to Wen Wan, and that these people were coming for her, so he sat down with his sword in hand. "Don't worry, Miss Wen, I've already sent people to capture these troublemakers! The Marquis will be here soon!"

Wen Wan glared at him, her lips moving as if she wanted to curse, but she managed to hold it back. "It's just a trivial matter, why are you looking for the Marquis? The city has been in turmoil these past few days, and you're going to make things worse for him?"

Zhao Heng was puzzled.

Zhao Heng felt wronged.

I always feel like I'm being squeezed, but I have no evidence.

The Marquis asked him to pay more attention to Miss Wen's movements, worried that the smuggling case would implicate the Wen family. But Miss Wen didn't want the Marquis to know her whereabouts, so what was the point of him being caught in the middle?
Zhao Heng felt that since he met Miss Wen, he received more cold stares in a day than in the previous year!

Chen Xiaochun's suppressed groan of pain could be heard from behind the curtain. Even so, Chen Xiaochun did not forget to comfort Wen Wan outside the curtain, "Boss, I'm fine... What happened tonight was caused by me, I'm sorry... Don't chase me away!"

Wen Wan stood outside with her hands behind her back, comforting him fiercely, "You were injured while protecting me. I will never drive you away. Just rest assured and heal your wound!"

After a while, hurried footsteps were heard in the front hall. The warm curtains were opened, and the lights outside illuminated the room. Wen Wan looked up and saw Wei Zheng rushing over.

He walked quickly, bringing up a long, cold breeze from outside, and making the wind chimes hanging under the warm curtains ring.

As soon as the man entered the room, his captivating eyes swept around, and the air in the clinic suddenly became thin.

Finally, the man's gaze staggered and fell on Wen Wan's face.

Wei Zheng's chest gradually relaxed, and the tension in his eyes receded. He walked over calmly, "I happened to be doing some work nearby, and heard Zhao Heng say that there was a murder in this alley..." His eyes swept up and down Wen Wan, and then stopped at her hand. His voice suddenly tightened, "You...are hurt?"

Wen Wan took out a handkerchief and wiped it clean. The young lady's eyes were shining and she didn't look frightened at all.

Yes.

Even when facing an opponent who was taller and stronger than herself, this young lady showed no mercy when killing, without even shaking her hands.

"It's not mine, it's Xiaochun's blood."

Brother Xiaochun?
The call was quite affectionate.
