The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 37 Three Heroes and Five Righteous Men

As for Jiang Ping, there was no problem with Han Zhang. After all, he hadn't done anything wrong and had only left because he couldn't bear to see his brothers fighting amongst themselves. As long as the matter of the Five Original Bodies was resolved first, Han Zhang's problem would naturally be solved.

He also knew the original owner very well and believed that this matter was also a piece of cake for him, and he could even show off his skills in front of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Jiang Ping wasn't too worried about the case the original owner was carrying. In his opinion, although the original owner's crimes seemed serious, they were ultimately good things.

The emperor killed people in the palace to save others, he set fire to the Grand Tutor's mansion to prevent Lord Bao from being wrongly accused, and the three treasures stolen from Kaifeng Prefecture were not worth much, so returning them was the best course of action.

The original owner was young and radiant, full of vigor and talent, and was both literate and martial. He was also righteous and upright. Although he was ruthless, he never killed innocent people indiscriminately and loved to help those in need.

It's hard not to like such a person. Even the Emperor and Judge Bao would likely feel favorably toward him and be more forgiving.

The matter was resolved exactly as he had imagined. After seeing Yuan Sheng, the emperor found him to be a handsome and talented young man, and took a liking to him. He even bestowed upon him the title of fourth-rank guard, making him the highest-ranking official among the Five Rats.

The matter was eventually resolved satisfactorily.

Bai Yutang was speechless for a moment. If things were really as he guessed, then Jiang Ping was too wicked. To scheme against his sworn brothers for his own selfish desires was truly chilling.

Bai Yutang was never afraid of overthinking; he was only afraid of not thinking enough.

Now that he had sensed a conspiracy, he naturally wouldn't stop thinking. Instead, he let his mind wander and carefully recalled Jiang Ping's past words and actions. The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that things were as he suspected.

The original owner of this body was intelligent. Although he didn't understand it at the time, he would figure it out after the matter was over, and even others would have some guesses.

Although the five rats don't show it on their faces, their relationship is probably not as good as before.

So after the five entered Kaifeng Prefecture, they disappeared without a trace and never showed themselves to anyone again. Even the original owner of the body, who was always flamboyant, fell into silence.

Lu Fang spends a maximum of two or three months a year in Kaifeng Prefecture, and the rest of the time he either goes home to collect rent or is on his way back to collect rent.

Han Zhang, Xu Qing, and Jiang Ping all got married and had children, starting their own families. Only the original owner of this body remained alone in Kaifeng Prefecture, confined to her own little world.

Three years later, when Yan Chasan was ordered to secretly investigate the Prince of Xiangyang, he was assigned to guard him. After he died during his three raids on Chongxiao Tower, the other four arrived one after another to discuss revenge for him.

The original owner's grudge was not resolved until their next generation, in the sequel to the novel "The Three Heroes and Five Gallants," titled "The Little Five Gallants."

Bai Yutang admitted that his thinking was somewhat dark. Jiang Ping might have some ulterior motives, but he wasn't as shameless as Bai Yutang thought. However, it was undeniable that this kind of thinking was more reasonable and had a high probability of happening.

Don't talk about the deep brotherhood of the Five Rats. In this world, there are countless examples of blood brothers, or even fathers and sons, turning against each other.

People's hearts are hidden behind their bellies; who can truly understand what others are thinking?

Whether things turned out as Bai Yutang thought or not, none of that mattered anymore.

Bai Yutang felt as if he had just watched a deeply moving drama. Although he was touched by its genuine emotions at the time, a drama is just a drama after all. He could not stay immersed in it forever.

He was not the original owner after all, and could not feel the original owner's complex emotions. Although he couldn't help but sigh for the original owner's experiences when he accepted the memories, his emotions calmed down afterward.

Having thought about all this, he couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable, and became even colder towards others.

"Fifth Master, after passing this village, it's about five more miles to Bianliang City," Bai Fu whispered to Bai Yutang, his voice filled with worry.

Bai Fu has been with Bai Yutang since he was a child, and their master-servant relationship is extraordinary. Now, I can't help but worry about his future.

Bai Yutang nodded wearily to indicate that he understood.

The Emperor had set a date for Kaifeng Prefecture to arrest him, and the group had been traveling for several days. They were exhausted from the journey and desperately wanted to rest.

Although Zhan Zhao was anxious, seeing the tired looks on everyone's faces, he estimated the time and felt that there was still time. So he suggested, "It's getting late. Let's stay overnight in the village ahead and continue our journey tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement and headed straight for the village.

The village chief readily agreed to their request for lodging and warmly treated them to a meal.

The village chief's house had limited space and couldn't accommodate so many people, so they were divided into several groups and stayed at the homes of nearby villagers.

Bai Yutang and Lu Fang were assigned to the same place.

That night, Bai Yutang lay in bed unable to sleep for a long time, while Lu Fang beside him had already fallen asleep.

Bai Yutang habitually enveloped the village with his thoughts.

He had traveled extensively and encountered all sorts of people, including many with ill intentions. Therefore, he would always try to project his thoughts to his surroundings and observe their movements so that he could prepare in advance if there was any danger.

It can also train your willpower, killing two birds with one stone.

His mind has now become much more solid, and can now radiate to a range of nearly two hundred meters around him.

The fact that his cultivation intentions from the previous world hadn't disappeared with the transmigration was his greatest comfort now.

In the stillness of the night, the villagers had long since gone to bed, and the entire village was shrouded in silence.

Dark clouds obscured the moon, plunging the world into darkness. A figure moved swiftly and nimbly through the village.

A pair of eyes filled with desire scanned the surroundings, finally settling on the house on the far right.

"This is the place!"

Hua Chong chuckled, his heart itching at the thought of the beautiful lady he had met during the day, and he couldn't wait to head straight for his destination.

Once at the window, he carefully pried it open a crack, then took out a prepared incense stick from his pocket, blew it into the crack, and waited quietly for the drug to take effect.

He thought he was quick and agile and that no one had noticed him, but little did he know that from the moment he entered the village, his every move was under Bai Yutang's notice.

Dressed in all black and with his face covered, he sneaked into the village, carrying a sleeping potion with him; he didn't look like a good person at all.

Bai Yutang suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp, and shoved Lu Fang, who was beside him, to his feet: "Brother, there's a thief!"

Lu Fang was fast asleep when he was suddenly woken up by him. Still confused, he heard him say there was a thief. He immediately became more alert and, afraid of alerting the thief, asked in a low voice, "Is he from this village?"

Lu Fanghua is old and experienced. He has heard of and seen many unscrupulous shop owners who are kind to people on the surface, but secretly commit murder and robbery and do all sorts of shady business.

So when he heard Bai Yutang say there were thieves, his first reaction was: Oh no! They've broken into a den of thieves!
