Chapter 370 Adversity reveals the heart (12)

Sitting peacefully.

There were bloodstains from abrasions on the ground on his face, and his body was bruised and purple with marks from beatings.

Pain is everywhere in the body, from the flesh to the muscles and bones.

However, compared with the physical pain, the torment in Ping He's heart was even greater.

He simply couldn't face the fact.

The beads are gone, and the person is locked in a prison without any freedom.

I'm afraid he will be punished by the sheriff in the name of a monster later on.

Just the thought of losing the pearl in his hands made him feel ashamed.

In his heart, he hoped that the god or the water dragon would come to the world again and take the beads back.

Scared to see them again.

Fear of facing their blame.

Ping He felt both fear and guilt.

In the end, he had to kneel on the ground, muttering prayers in his mouth.

Cao Ruo sent Ping He to prison, called his subordinates, and ordered him to collect charges, and he didn't care about this time.

For a senior official of Cao Ruo's level, this is just a trivial matter.

No matter how important the red bead is, it is just an object.

No matter how famous Ping He is, he is just a commoner in Tianyang County.

He took the beads and returned to his house with his wife.

The daughter also came to the two of them.

She just heard that someone cured her, but she didn't care what happened to that person in the end.

"Father, mother, give me the beads to play with!"

The daughter said delicately.

"Daughter, don't touch this bead casually. It's better to keep it for father. If you like it, father will bring it for you to see every day."

Cao Ruo coaxed her daughter, but kept holding the beads in his hands, not giving them to her easily.

Since he got the red bead, he also saw the four squares in the sky.

Cao Ruo didn't care about surgery or anything, he had no interest in treating illnesses.

Life energy and the like seem to be able to make people healthy, but this should be turned on all the time.

As for turning a stone into gold, Cao Ruo decided to try it himself when no one was around.

He didn't even tell his wife about these things, and he didn't want to let his wife touch the beads.

Madam, after all, she still has her natal family and is an outsider.

It would be bad if she also saw the magic of the beads and had two minds.

Madam looked deeply at Cao Ruo.

The man's behavior was unusual. Beads must not only be able to cure diseases as simple as that.

She had to be careful to figure it out. It is best to find a way to see what is so magical about the beads.

...

Ping He was put in prison, he was very worried, wondering what happened to his mother at home.

There is no news about him all of a sudden, and my mother is afraid that she will be very anxious.

I can only hope that his friends can take care of him a little bit.

What Ping He didn't know was that while he was in prison, several friends in Fenhe City were also in a hurry.

First, Fan Guang, who would accompany Pinghe every day, found out that Pinghe hadn't come to the city. He went to his house to have a look, and then learned from Mrs. Zou that Pinghe was sent away by the sheriff of Tianyang County.

Fan Guang intuitively felt something was wrong.

He quickly contacted Mi Long and asked him to use his current relationship to help inquire.

Mi Long quickly went to find someone.

It was only a day later that news came that Ping He had entered the Tianyang County Sheriff's Mansion. It was said that he was only there for medical treatment and received warm hospitality.

Only then did Mi Long feel relieved.

Fan Guang still felt something was wrong, he told Mi Long to draw attention to the Sheriff's Mansion.

Since then, however, there has been no news of peace.

Even, the person who told them that they were fine before now said with a strange face, don't ask about peace, if you ask, you are dead, pulled down, and buried.

Several friends were distraught.

Most likely, something happened to Pinghe, and it was also related to the sheriff of Tianyang County.

However, Mi Long, who has the most connections among them, is nothing more than the father of a speaker who has no real power, and he is absolutely irresistible against a big official like the sheriff.

If something happened to Pinghe... Several friends couldn't help thinking of another question: his mother might also be killed.

After discussing with several people, they decided to send Mrs. Zou to a safe place as soon as possible.

In the end, it was Mi Long who made the final decision, and he personally sent Mrs. Zou to Changcheng, the capital of the king.

In the capital, it is always the safest.

Several friends came to Pinghe's home, tried their best to explain the matter to Zou, and then persuaded her to take refuge in Jianchang City.

They repeatedly persuaded Mrs. Zou that even if the county guards were in trouble, they would definitely try to rescue Ping He.

Mrs. Zou is also a person who understands the general situation. Hearing that her son is in critical condition and she is in danger, she did not cry, but obeyed Mi Long's arrangement, packed her luggage and followed.

When Fan Guang returned from Pinghe's house, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

Before, General Qinglu, the lord of Fenhe City, had come to find Pinghe.

At that time, Qinglu praised Pinghe very much, and said that he would take care of him.

How about asking Kan Qinglu what to do?

After Fan Guang thought it over, he went to Qinglu's City Lord's Mansion to deliver the note.

Not long after, someone called Fan Guang in. Qing Lu met him and asked him about the situation in detail.

"It's not easy." Qinglu's rough brows furrowed deeply, "Governor Cao is my immediate superior. If he hasn't taken the person away, as a local governor, I still have the ability to dissuade him. This person has already been taken away." Now, if I interfere again, I will exceed my authority..."

He bowed his head and thought for a while, while Fan Guang was very anxious.

"Well, I'll write to my teacher in Wangduli later to see if the teacher can think of a way."

Qinglu finally said this.

He looked at Fan Guang and sighed: "Ping He is a good doctor, I will try my best to save him, you go back and wait for the news."

After Fan Guang left, Qing Lu really repaired a book and sent someone to send it to the teacher quickly.

Qinglu's teacher was Xun Gao, a great general of the state of Chang, and a senior official who was highly valued by the late king.

After he received the letter, he was a little curious why his disciple wanted to save such a commoner.

However, since Qing Lu said that this man is a famous doctor and an excellent person, then let's save him.

Xun Gao sent people to Tianyang County.

In Tianyang County, Cao Ruo was sitting alone in the study, admiring the red beads.

An invisible light emanated from the red bead, making his whole body comfortable.

Cao Ruo moved his fat body and looked at the half-open cabinet door.

From the crack of the door, a golden color was revealed.

Inside is the gold he has dug out in the past few days. He cut it open and tried it, and it is real gold.

This discovery made him overjoyed, and he took a closer look at Hong Zhu.

Now he ignores his wife and daughter all day long, and locks himself up to ponder Hongzhu.

At this time, someone knocked on the door.

"My lord, that Dr. Ruan has come again and said he is looking for a reward from you."

Cao Ruo narrowed his eyes.

"Have someone pull him down, beat him up, and drive him away. He's also given away as a doctor."

Cao Ruo sneered.

"This kind of person is betraying his colleagues and has a vicious mind. If I reward this kind of person heavily, won't others say that I am a dignified governor of Tianyang County?"

"Yes!" The outside responded.

"By the way, if you see that he is not fair when you beat him, you might even think about revenge in the future. If that's the case, just go and put him in jail and let him calm down."

"Yes, my lord!"

The servant left, and Cao Ruo sat back on the seat again.

He turned the red bead slowly, the light of the red bead shone endlessly, very beautiful.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door again.

"What are you doing? Don't bother me!"

Cao Ruo yelled unhappily.
