Chapter 216

After about half a quarter of an hour, footsteps sounded outside the tent.

Wei Ming came in.

As soon as Wei Ming saw Xianling Li, he immediately knelt down with a thud, holding the token high, "My Lord, the subordinate was ordered by the Xiancheng Lord Du to escort Head Constable Jiang's wife to Yugui Shan!"

Xianling Li: "... Just this?"

With this posture, even the token was dispatched, he thought something big had happened in the office.

It turned out that Lady Du was missing her husband and came all the way to find him.

Toward Du Ruo, Xianling Li was especially tolerant.

First, Du Ruo was the savior of his son Li Nan Si; second, he appreciated Du Ruo for refusing to acknowledge Du Ren Mei, that irresponsible father, even to death; she had backbone.

Another thing was that Du Ruo was Jiang Li's wife, so it could be considered loving the house and its crow.

"Was the road peaceful?" Xianling Li asked.

Wei Ming nodded first, then shook his head after nodding twice.

Xianling Li frowned, "Is it peaceful or not?"

"It was peaceful, but Constable Yang..." Wei Ming told the story on the road with righteous indignation, and finally said, "My Lord, this is not the first time Constable Yang has done bad things; last time he deliberately led Lady Du to Zui Meng Ju, wanting to alienate their husband-and-wife relationship, and now he is even worse, wanting to harm Lady Du's life."

"My Lord, you must make the decision for Lady Du!"

Hearing this, Xianling Li was furious.

Yang Dian Feng relied on being an old man in the office, always arrogant and domineering, and even incited others to oppose Jiang Li; Xianling Li was not unaware of these actions.

It was just that he thought Yang Dian Feng had worked in the office for so many years, and if he didn't have credit, he had hard work, so he didn't want to chill other people's hearts, so he turned a blind eye.

Never expected that that bastard was so vicious!

"Simply lawless! Where is he? Bring him here, this official wants to interrogate him personally!"

Wei Ming's eyes lit up, "He is in the carriage, tied up by me, I'll go get him now!"

After saying this, he ran out excitedly.

Xianling Li was already in a bad mood, and this was like adding fuel to the fire, pacing in the tent with his hands on his hips, "I'm so angry, I'm so angry..."

Xianling Lin and Shen Jing Bin naturally heard the whole content.

Xianling Lin didn't make a sound; after all, it wasn't a matter within his jurisdiction, so it was inconvenient to intervene.

However, he was still very concerned about Jiang Li's affairs.

During the county exam, Xianling Lin had seen Jiang Zhan and knew he was Jiang Mo Nian's son and had won the top scholar of the county.

He was very gratified in his heart.

This time he also learned from Xianling Li that Jiang Li was Jiang Zhan's older brother, that is, Jiang Mo Nian's eldest son, so he couldn't help but pay more attention.

Seeing Jiang Li was talented and had both courage and strategy, he liked him from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Mo Nian's sons were indeed all excellent.

He just didn't know if Jiang Mo Nian's daughter-in-law had such talent and beauty?

Xianling Lin was quite curious.

Shen Jing Bin, however, held the intention of watching a joke; anyway, he had to wait for news here, and since he was free, he might as well join in the fun.

There was one thing he felt a bit strange, so he asked Xianling Li: "What is the relationship between Jiang Li's wife and Lord Du? Why would Lord Du give her a token and specifically send someone to escort her?"

To say it was because of Jiang Li's mere constable status, he wouldn't believe it.

Xianling Li didn't want to answer this question, but considering the Prefect, he still opened his mouth unwillingly, "Lady Du is the daughter of Lord Du's first wife."

Shen Jing Bin suddenly realized.

So it was Du Ren Mei's daughter, then no wonder.

He had seen Du Ren Mei, who looked quite good; he didn't know what his daughter was like, whether she inherited her father's appearance.

Thinking of this, Shen Jing Bin stared at the entrance of the tent with burning eyes.

Before long, Wei Ming dragged Yang Dian Feng in, panting, followed by Du Ruo.

Du Ruo glanced quickly and didn't see her husband, a little disappointed.

Then she withdrew her gaze and bowed to Xianling Li, "My Lord."

She was dressed in men's clothing now, so a curtsy would be out of place.

Xianling Li looked Du Ruo up and down, a little unable to believe his eyes, "Lady Du? Why are you dressed like this?"

It was a bit too ugly.

"It's just for convenience on the road, to avoid unnecessary trouble." Du Ruo explained with a smile, her tone apologetic, "Sorry, My Lord, Jiang Li is doing serious business, I shouldn't have come to disturb him, but I really couldn't rest easy..."

Xianling Li waved his hand, "It's okay, it's human nature. Let alone you, isn't my wife the same? If it weren't for the stinky boy at home holding her back, I'm afraid she would have come looking long ago."

Su Wanjun was not such an unreasonable person.

Obviously, Xianling Li was deliberately finding a step for her.

Du Ruo was very grateful, "Thank you, My Lord, for your understanding; where is Jiang Li now? Can you let me see him?"

"Sigh, you came late..."

Du Ruo's heart skipped a beat.

Then she heard the next sentence, "Jiang Li went up the mountain to explore the path."

This panting speech almost scared her to death.

Du Ruo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, she wasn't an outsider, so Xianling Li told Du Ruo this secret; after hearing it, Du Ruo's heart tightened again.

Especially when combined with the nightmare she had, she was even more uneasy.

Yugui Shan shouldn't have a cliff... right?

"So Miss Du looks like this." Just as she was worried, a man's regretful voice suddenly came from her ear.

Du Ruo turned her head to look.

The young man leaning on the discussion couch was about twenty-something, thin-faced, fair-skinned, and didn't look ugly.

It was just that his eyes were very wanton, and in the wantonness, there was a kind of greasy self-importance, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"This is..." Du Ruo looked at Xianling Li inquiringly.

Xianling Li really wanted to roll his eyes at the guy surnamed Shen, but forcibly restrained it with his years of cultivation, "He is from Fengyang Prefecture, the General Renyong responsible for suppressing bandits this time, General Shen Jing Bin."

Shen Jing Bin? He really lived up to his name.

Du Ruo bowed politely and distantly to the man, "General Shen."

Shen Jing Bin seemed to have some drunkenness, raised his eyebrows at her, and shook his head with a tsk tsk tsk, "It's a pity, a fine horse gave birth to a mule; I say Miss Du, you should look like your mother, right?"

Du Ruo: "..."

What did he mean? Was he saying she was ugly in a roundabout way?

If she were really ugly, she would probably be angry; but the fact was she looked very good, so being mocked like this, she wouldn't take it to heart.

Du Ruo smiled and didn't say anything.

Xianling Li knew Shen Jing Bin had misunderstood and was about to help explain a few words, but suddenly became alert.

Xianling Li wasn't sure if Du Ruo looked like her mother, but he knew Shen Jing Bin looked exactly like his father, Prince Ji.

Especially in terms of lust, it was exactly the same as if it were cast from the same mold.

Oh no, there was still a difference; Prince Ji had a bottom line, only interested in prostitutes and unmarried women; while this General Renyong, loved married women exclusively.

It was said that he had caused many things because of this, making the Shen family and the Su family wipe his butt several times.

Thinking of this, Xianling Li closed his mouth tightly.

Then he led Du Ruo to the other side and introduced, "Lady Du, this is Lord Lin from Lingbi Xian."

It turned out to be Xianling Lin who had helped Jiang Zhan last time; Du Ruo hurriedly paid her respects.

Xianling Lin was also quite regretful at first, feeling that with Du Ruo's appearance, she couldn't match Jiang Li, but later seeing her speak appropriately and handle things generously, he seemed to understand something.

As expected of Jiang Mo Nian's son, his vision was indeed unique, incomparable to ordinary mortals.

After the pleasantries, Xianling Li finally turned his gaze to Yang Dian Feng on the ground and asked coldly, "Constable Yang, did you really have the intention to kill Lady Du?"
