When the two girls were rescued from the woods, they had been traveling by carriage, so one would assume that there must have been a coachman with them before the robbery. No trace of a coachman had been found, nor any dead body. Therefore, it was not surprising that the coachman had left earlier, returned home to report the news, and sought help from the government to save them.
However, this delay in help meant that the girls would have suffered a terrible fate if Zhang Xiaohua and the others hadn't stepped in.
With this in mind, Zhang Xiaohua deliberately kept distance from the carriage.
After all, nobody who was carrying the silver they had just robbed would like to see these people, even if they were brave enough to save the girls.
Zhang Xiaohu, although not understanding Zhang Xiaohua's intention, also slowed down his horse's speed.
