Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

Zhang Fei, the leader of the gang, never expected that Ma Jiakang, the usually meek and obedient third leader, would dare to hide a sharp blade in his sleeve, let alone dare to attack him.

There were two of his men guarding the door, yet he dared to make a move.

He was too careless today; perhaps he has never taken this third son seriously.

But it was precisely this carelessness that made him pay the price.

Ma Jiakang suddenly attacked, stabbing the dagger deep into his waist.

A sharp pain shot through Zhang Fei, who groaned and staggered back two steps, his wide eyes filled with disbelief: "Third brother...you dare to hurt me?"

He somewhat regretted his momentary carelessness...

Ma Jiakang suddenly pulled out his knife, and blood immediately soaked Zhang Fei's robes.

His face no longer held the timid expression of the past, only a cold laugh of desperation: "Boss, you're going to take my life, can't I resist?"

Are you just going to obediently wait to be slaughtered?

Zhang Fei, don't treat people like fools!

No matter how weak I am, I'm not stupid enough to risk my life!

"If I don't fight back now, am I supposed to just stick my neck out for you to chop off?"

"Someone come here..."

Someone come quick...

Get rid of my hyperthyroidism!

Zhang Fei pressed his hand tightly against his wound and roared hoarsely outwards.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ma Jiakang pushed him aside and turned to rush towards the door.

Two of his men outside the door rushed in after hearing the commotion, only to be shoved aside by him.

One of them lost his footing and nearly fell.

The two only felt a dark shadow flash by, and when they looked again, Ma Jiakang had disappeared into the deep twilight.

They exchanged a glance, looked at the dark figure disappearing into the night, then looked into the house. After hesitating for a moment, they decided not to chase after it and hurriedly turned around and ran into the house.

Inside the room, Zhang Fei had collapsed to the ground, blood seeping from between his fingers, his face as pale as paper.

"Master!

You're injured!

One of his men exclaimed.

"Nonsense...didn't you see the blood?"

Zhang Fei grimaced in pain, but his voice remained fierce.

"Hurry up and help me to the bed!"

Go and fetch Doctor Liu...

Hurry up!

"Yes...yes..."

One person agreed, then hurriedly turned and ran away.

Another person, looking flustered, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him: "Boss, have some tea and calm down..."

"Stop complaining!" Zhang Fei was so angry that his wound hurt even more.

What about hyperesthesia?

Have you caught them yet?

Zhang Fei's eyes widened in anger, and he grimaced in pain from his wound.

He thought to himself: The third brother really goes all out!

This guy was trying to kill him with one blow!

"Boss, the third...the third boss has run away..."

It got dark, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

We were worried about your injury, so we didn't dare to chase after you..."

"Useless!" Zhang Fei's vision blurred, but he forced himself to give the order.

"Go and issue the order now: all brothers in the village, do everything in your power to search for and capture Ma Jiakang!"

If you encounter someone with a personality disorder, kill them without hesitation, regardless of whether they live or die!

The Yan family also guarded every pass, preventing him from escaping Tiger Head Village!

"If I don't kill Ma Jiakang today, I, Zhang Fei, swear I'm not a man!"

"But you have no one to serve you here..."

You're still injured!

"I don't need you!"

What good are you if you stay here!

Are you good at treating wounds or bandaging them?

The doctor will be here soon...

go!

Arresting them is the priority!

His men dared not delay any longer and scrambled out.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the subordinate who had spoken earlier led Doctor Liu to the scene in a hurry, followed by Xu Xiaosi, who had come after hearing the news.

The room erupted in chaos as people stopped the bleeding and cleaned the wounds...

Zhang Fei bit his handkerchief, cold sweat pouring down his face, but the fire in his heart burned ever brighter.

"Boss, bear with it. This wound is quite deep. It needs to be cleaned thoroughly before you can apply medicine. Otherwise, it will get infected and won't heal so easily."

Dr. Liu said this while carefully cleaning the area.

Zhang Fei gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Dr. Liu, be gentle! Look how much pain our leader is in!"

Xu Xiaosi said from the side.

"I'm already very light, but the chief is too badly injured."

By the way, don't do anything strenuous for the next two or three days, otherwise it will be harder to heal.

After a flurry of activity, Doctor Liu applied the medicine, gave some instructions, and then went to prepare the medicine.

"Boss, this third boss is really ruthless!"

Unfortunately, he got away.

Damn it, once we catch him, we'll tear him to pieces!

"Don't worry, Boss, the brothers will catch him as soon as possible and avenge you!"

Xu Xiaosi cursed a few times indignantly.

"He can't escape; he can hide for a day, but he can't hide forever."

Please take good care of things in the village during this time.

Now the second-in-command is dead, the third-in-command has betrayed me, and I'm injured.

"By the way, how's your investigation of that mute Ah Qi going?"

Zhang Fei endured the pain and asked.

"I sent people to check, and there was nothing wrong with the mute Ah Qi."

When he first arrived, the villagers bullied him and looked down on him.

Little Peach couldn't stand it and helped him out.

That's probably why he became closer to them.

Xu Xiaosi explained.

"Oh, is that so? By the way, you must keep the fact that I was stabbed a secret, and don't let the people in the village know about it."

Fortunately, the third brother's place is in a remote area, so they told others that the third brother had made a mistake.

The village cannot be left leaderless; otherwise, chaos will ensue.

I also mentioned that I was away from home for the past few days, and that the First Madam was in charge of all matters concerning daily life in the village.

You're responsible for the rest.

"That's what the chief gave the order."

"Master, should we tell Madam about your injury?"

Xu Xiaosi asked.

"Tell her, but she doesn't need to come see me. Just tell her to take good care of her daughter."

Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Xu Xiaosi nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Tao'er's courtyard was quiet.

She didn't go inside, but stood alone on the porch, her eyes occasionally glancing towards the courtyard gate. The night breeze was slightly cool, but she was completely unaware of it.

About half an hour later, a nimble figure swept into the courtyard.

Tao'er hurried to greet him, "Seventh Brother Shi, how is it?"

Did the third leader catch up?

Xiao Yi shook his head, the night unable to conceal the regret on his face: "I'm sorry, Tao'er, I lost her."

It was too dark, and he knew the terrain well, so he disappeared into the dense forest behind the mountain.

A hint of regret flashed in Tao'er's eyes, but she shook her head and said, "It's not your fault."

He's been in this village a long time, so he knows much better than we do where people can hide and where there are secret passages.

Besides, it was the middle of the night, so it was impossible to see clearly.

However... you can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever.

As long as he remains in this mountain stronghold, he'll eventually have to show himself to find food and water, unless he wants to starve to death.

Xiao Yi nodded. "You're right. We'll catch him sooner or later."

But now that this person has become a fugitive, hiding in the shadows, he is ultimately a menace.

but……"

He changed the subject, lowered his voice, and said, "Tonight's events are a pleasant surprise for us."

Unexpectedly, cornered as a dog, he resorted to violence and actually drew his knife on Zhang Fei.

Tao'er's eyes lit up slightly, "That's right!"

This is a good thing for us.

Now, the second-in-command, Hu Biao, is gone; the third-in-command, Ma Jiakang, is a fugitive; and the leader is seriously injured...

The village is now truly leaderless.

"Tiger Head Stronghold is currently in disarray, but news of the chief's injury has not yet spread."

I wonder what mischief Zhang Fei is up to.

Xiao Yi felt that, logically, the leader should have told him about his injury, but he chose to keep it a secret, which was rather strange.

Tao'er shook her head, unable to understand either. "No matter what he thinks, this is such a big matter that he probably can't keep it a secret."

Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore.

By the way, are the second madam and her maid still locked up?

you say……

How will the First Madam deal with them?

Xiao Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Although the First Madam may seem gentle, she will never let this matter go easily."

Those two, master and servant, were wicked; sparing their lives would only sow the seeds of future trouble.

I think...

The final result was either being given poisoned wine or being forced to take their own lives.

The First Madam and the Second Madam already harbored deep resentment; they would never forgive the two of them, mistress and servant. This saves us the trouble of taking matters into our own hands.

As the two were talking in hushed tones, a slight noise suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.

Tao'er looked over alertly and saw a dignified figure wearing a cloak, accompanied by a maid, slowly walking into the courtyard.

It turned out that the First Madam herself had come.
