Chapter 82: Not a 3-year-old child
After Yang Biao asked the innkeeper where Tianshi Academy was, he quickly got on a carriage to look for the old man's grandson.
"My name is Yang Biao, I'm from Wenchang County, and I'm looking for Qi Mingyao from your academy. Please inform him." Yang Biao said to the gatekeeper of Tianshi Academy, "His grandfather was beaten up, please find him quickly."
When the doorman heard this, he immediately notified others to go find Qi Mingyao.
"Who are you? You said my grandfather was beaten? Who did it?" Qi Mingyao ran over panting, with a few classmates beside him. His grandfather had been running his business honestly in the capital for so many years and had never offended anyone. Who would be so cruel as to attack an old man?
"Well, my name is Yang Biao, and I'm from Wenchang County. Your grandfather asked me to find you. Please get in the car and follow me." Yang Biao introduced himself again, otherwise what should he do if Qi Mingyao thinks he is a liar and refuses to go with him.
Qi Mingyao quickly got into the car, "Mingyao, let's go with you to take a look." Two classmates were worried and wanted to go with him to help.
Qi Mingyao looked at Yang Biao and agreed when he saw him nod. "Okay, thank you."
"Qi Mingyao, we are all brothers, why say these things." The classmate was unhappy. There is no need to be polite between brothers.
Qi Mingyao anxiously lifted the car curtain and looked outside repeatedly along the way, wondering why they hadn't arrived yet.
"Grandpa, who hit you?" Qi Mingyao hugged the old man who was covered in wounds on the bed and started crying.
"You must be his family member. His injuries are too severe. I'm sorry I can't do anything." The doctor asked Qi Mingyao to buy a coffin for the old man and move him out of the clinic.
"You quack, just because you are useless doesn't mean other doctors are incompetent. Grandfather, your grandson will take you to find another doctor for treatment." Qi Mingyao couldn't accept the fact that his grandfather was about to leave this world. He roared, picked up the old man and ran out.
"Zhang Lang, Ma Jun, help me find a carriage," Qi Mingyao asked his two friends for help. He continued to run on the road holding his grandfather.
"Xiaoyao, put grandpa down. Grandpa has something to say." The old man weakly stopped Qi Mingyao and took out the silver note of 1,000 taels given by Yang Biao. "Grandpa is dying. You don't need to avenge me now. I sold the shop to the young man who came to find you. Take this silver note and go back to the academy to study hard. When you have the strength to compete with Sun Xuanli, you can seek justice for grandpa."
"Grandfather," Qi Mingyao half-knelt, put the old man on his lap, watched his hand holding the silver bill slowly slip away, and cried silently.
"Grandpa, should we go up and help?" Dongpi asked Yang Biao who was looking at them, and the latter was covering his tearful face sadly.
"Forget it. Qi Mingyao looks to be in his twenties. He should be able to handle it. Let's go back to the inn." Qi Mingyao is not a three-year-old child, and his own abilities are limited. So Yang Biao decided to ignore it and took the two of them back to the inn.
"Yang Biao," Qin Xiaoran heard Yang Biao's voice outside the door asking Fugui and the others to go to bed early, and immediately opened the door, "You're back, have you found that person?"
"Found it. It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Yang Biao looked into the room and saw Xiaolian and Fang Hua were already asleep in bed.
"Let's go to another room." Yang Biao didn't want to wake them up, so he pulled Qin Xiaoran into the empty room next door and took out the contract. "This is the contract given by the old man. Let's go to Tianshi Academy tomorrow to return it to his grandson." He couldn't take this bargain. It was just a temporary measure at the time. He couldn't even think about buying a shop in the city for one thousand and two taels of silver.
"Let me see," Qin Xiaoran took the contract and read the contents carefully, and was quite surprised, "Yang Biao, for one thousand taels of silver, you can get not only a shop, but also a house with three entrances."
"Ah, let me see," Yang Biao snatched the contract, "this..." What should he do? Qi Feng was forced to sell his shop and property at a low price. This Sun Xuanli was really not an easy person to deal with.
"You are so smart, you must have a way, right?" Qin Xiaoran looked at him expectantly. The old man was so pitiful, she hoped that Yang Biao could help him.
"How can I help? You really overestimate me. Do you want me to go and beat the drum to appeal for justice for him?" Yang Biao felt a headache after hearing what Qin Xiaoran said. He was alone and weak in this ancient time. How could he have the ability to fight against the prefect of a provincial city?
Qin Xiaoran saw that Yang Biao was in trouble, so she went to make the bed and said, "Go to bed early. I'll go to Tianshi Academy with you tomorrow."
Yang Biao was lying in bed, unable to sleep. He was afraid of waking up Qin Xiaoran who was sleeping next to him, so he tiptoed out of the room.
When he walked to the place where Qi Mingyao and his grandson had been, he found that they had not left yet. The three of them were carrying Qi Feng onto the carriage. So he stopped and watched the carriage leave.
Yang Biao was walking aimlessly on the street until, with a "bang", he was hit by a carriage and flew into the air. He knew nothing after that.
At this time, Xia Weiwei was pretending to be awake in the carriage. She was awakened by the turbulence in the carriage. "What happened?" She asked Rong Zhuang beside her. Li Ma's voice came from outside, "Miss, Feng Yi was driving too fast and accidentally hit someone."
"Ah, is that man in danger?" Xia Weiwei hurriedly got out of the car to check. "It's you!" Seeing Yang Biao lying unconscious on the ground, Xia Weiwei recognized him by the torchlight. "His leg is bleeding. Feng Yi, hurry up and take him to the clinic to see a doctor."
"Miss," Rong Zhuang took a veil from the car and put it on Xia Weiwei, "we are almost home. Let's take the man back and let the court doctor treat his injuries." They all followed the young lady out to check the accounts. They couldn't go home too late, otherwise they would all be beaten by the lady.
"Well," Xia Weiwei looked around and saw no passers-by. It was so late, why did Yang Biao come to the city alone? "Feng Yi, help him to the carriage behind and take him back to the mansion." So she changed the coachman and let the master and servant get on the carriage and go home first.
"Where is this?" The pain from his legs and the back of his head made Yang Biao regain consciousness. He saw that his left calf was bandaged. He touched his head and saw that it was also wrapped in cloth.
"Young master, are you awake?" The maid Jinrong came in with a basin of water, soaked a towel in the basin, and was about to wipe Yang Biao.
"I'll do it myself. Where is this? Why am I here?" Yang Biao was not used to strangers approaching him, so he took the towel and asked Jinrong.
"This is the Xia Mansion. You were bumped into by Feng Yi. We don't know where you live, so our lady brought you back." Jin Rong looked at him apologetically, "Feng Yi didn't mean it. I hope you can forgive him."
"I..." Yang Biao was about to speak when he heard a familiar voice outside the door, "Miss, Yang Biao is awake!" Then, a woman wearing a veil walked in, followed by two personal maids.
"You don't recognize me?" Rong Zhuang looked at the confused Yang Biao and said to Xia Weiwei worriedly, "It's over, this is bad, Miss, he was knocked stupid by Feng Yi!"
