Chapter 29: I like you like this

Song Shijie felt that his soul was out of his body and was about to ascend to heaven. Song Mu originally felt like an old friend at first sight, and when she heard Lin Jiaojiao say this, she excitedly came over to hold her hand, "My son is not married yet. If you are willing to marry, our Song Mansion will give You'an eight-person sedan chair and marry you into the Song Mansion in a grand way!"

Song Shijie heard this, and his soul immediately returned to his body!

These two people actually hit it off, completely ignoring his existence, and he wanted to get up from the bed in a hurry, "You, you! Sigh! Mother, how can my marriage be so childish! Besides, Lin Jiaojiao is already married and is a concubine of the Pei Mansion!"

As soon as these words came out, even Liu Zhongyi turned his head to look!

He naturally knew that this Lin Jiaojiao was a concubine of the Pei Mansion, but this was someone else's family affair, and he, an outsider, couldn't intervene.

Lin Jiaojiao couldn't help but scratch her head in embarrassment. Song Mu had long since recovered, squeezed out a smile and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as you are willing to marry into the Song Mansion, that's fine."

Song Fu snorted through his nose. Lin Jiaojiao thought he was going to be angry, but who knew that the words he opened his mouth to say made Lin Jiaojiao stunned.

"I see that the Pei Mansion is not a place that cherishes talent. This miracle doctor who can treat fatal external injuries can be locked into the Dali Temple!"

"A mere Military Minister, even if I go to his mansion to ask for someone, he has to give me a few points of face and respectfully send the person to the door."

Song Shijie never thought that this usually strict father would be willing to go to the Pei Mansion to ask for someone for his own marriage!

"Yes, yes," Song Mu was happy, looking at her husband with stars in her eyes, "It's still the husband who has foresight! Another day we will go to the Pei Mansion, ask them to release this female doctor from the mansion, and then find a reason to let Lu Zhenting recognize the female doctor as a sister, look at the good day, and then marry into our Song Mansion in a grand way."

Lin Jiaojiao's eyes lit up. "Really? Then I will treat you for a lifetime, and guarantee your health and longevity!"

Song Mu praised repeatedly, looking at Lin Jiaojiao more and more happily, "It's really a good child! I like you like this, with high medical skills, pleasant words, and sensible."

The room was harmonious and festive, as if the Song Mansion was going to get married tomorrow. Only Song Shijie and Liu Zhongyi looked at each other, staring at each other with big eyes.

What kind of happy event is this! Song Shijie smiled bitterly in his heart. She hasn't even gotten rid of the identity of a suspect yet!

Thinking that Lin Jiaojiao saved his life, he wanted to get up and go to the Dali Temple to close Lin Jiaojiao's case, so he could send her back to the Pei Mansion, but Liu Zhongyi shook his head again, "Master Song, you still need to rest."

Song Shijie sat up just now, and the wound was painfully tight, so he could only give up and lie back on the bed.

And on the Dali Temple side, because there were assassins last night, there were still heavy troops guarding it.

On the street directly opposite the Dali Temple, an old couple dressed in coarse cloth and linen walked over timidly.

The two said to the officer guarding the door with fear, "Here, here is the Dali Temple? We, we are here to report the case and provide evidence."

The officer had a face full of majesty. Because the things that happened last night were too strange, even if he didn't want to deal with these two, he could only ask with a dark face out of professional requirements: "What case are you reporting, what evidence are you providing?"

"We, we are here to provide evidence against Lin Jiaojiao." The old couple swallowed their saliva in fear.

Upon hearing that the old couple wanted to provide evidence against Master Song's life-saving benefactor, the officer guarding the door felt irritable. He waved his hand like driving away flies, "Go, go! You are providing false evidence, and if it is fake, disturbing the Dali Temple's handling of the case will be subject to criminal responsibility!"

The old couple didn't dare to move forward anymore. Just then, a team of officials passed by in a sedan chair. The person in the sedan chair heard the conversation, so he signaled to stop the sedan chair and let the servants call the Dali Temple guard over.

The officer guarding the door recognized the pattern on the sedan chair. It was the sedan chair of the current Prime Minister Su Su Hongtu. Because he was afraid of offending the big official, he hurriedly ran to the sedan chair, bowed humbly, "Prime Minister, what are your orders?"

"Someone came to the Dali Temple to provide evidence, why don't you accept the trial?" The voice of powerful questioning came from the sedan chair.

The Dali Temple guard had never seen him before, but he was already afraid of his power. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, not knowing how to answer, "This... the Dali Temple has been busy recently..."

The person in the sedan chair asked: "Your Dali Temple Minister is not here, and the Dali Temple Junior Minister Master Song is actually so busy that he doesn't even have the effort to try the witnesses?"

"Uh..." The Dali Temple guard knew that the matter of Master Song's injury could not be spread, so he could only look left and right and say something else, "This... these two look like they are from unknown origins, and don't look like people who came to provide evidence..."

"A small gatekeeper is so bold, without leaving people to take evidence, he made a judgment at will. Has the Dali Temple become so slack and degenerate recently?!"

"The small one doesn't dare!" The Dali Temple guard hurriedly said, "The small one will go to collect the witnesses and make a record."

"Your Dali Temple had better be able to handle the case fairly." The Prime Minister sitting in the sedan chair said, and then ordered, "Lift the sedan chair and return to the mansion."

"Prime Minister, go slowly," the Dali Temple guard respectfully sent the Prime Minister away, and then greeted the two people, "You two! Follow me into the Dali Temple to make a record of the evidence!"

"Yes, Master." The two hurriedly responded and followed the guard into the Dali Temple.

The Prime Minister's sedan chair walked through the capital's Zhengfeng Dajie. When passing by the Zuihua Pavilion, besides the laughter of the girls in the Zuihua Pavilion, there was also the crying of a young woman at the door. The sedan chair didn't stop, but moved forward all the way.

However, the man who was pulling with the young woman in front of the Zuihua Pavilion stopped and watched the Prime Minister's sedan chair go away with a meaningful look.

And the young woman crying in front of the Zuihua Pavilion was Bai Zhi who had just been sold into the Pei Mansion. The one pulling her was Zhao An.

Zhao An pulled away Bai Zhi's hand that was pulling him, spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, and cursed: "You are useless, crying is useless! If you had listened to the Old Madam at the beginning, you wouldn't have been sold to the flower building today! If it weren't for the Old Madam's mercy, Xiao Cui's end would be your end today!"

Bai Zhi was dragged by the procuress and the thugs of the Zuihua Pavilion. She knew that she would be doomed after being dragged into the Zuihua Pavilion. She knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, her head knocking on the ground with a "bang" sound, "Brother Zhao, look at the fact that you and I are fellow villagers, please let me go! Please!"

"Oh my, this tender skin, if you knock your head and ruin your face, no one will order her! Stop her and don't let her knock anymore!" The procuress hurriedly called the thugs to stop people. The thugs went up and hit Bai Zhi on the back of the neck, directly knocking

Having finished the morning court session, Lu Zhenting was leading his men to retrace the path he and Song Shijie had taken yesterday, hoping to find clues and ferret out the bandits who had slashed Song Shijie. Unexpectedly, he saw from afar the Zuihua Pavilion engaging in forced buying and selling. He strode forward in two or three steps, grabbed the thug by the collar, and glared at him, demanding, "What are you trying to do!"

As soon as the procuress saw him, she recognized him as the person she had encountered yesterday. She forced a smile and said, "My noble guest, please excuse the scene. The girl is being disobedient and needs to be taken back for some discipline."

Zhao An saw that Lu Zhenting was eight feet tall, his face full of ferocity, and that he was accompanied by two men in silver armor. Guessing that this man was likely a soldier, he felt a bit intimidated and hurriedly slipped away.

Lu Zhenting looked righteous. "This girl clearly does not want to engage in your brothel business, yet you actually forcibly knocked her unconscious!"

After speaking, he snatched Bai Zhi away, signaled his subordinates to take her back to the General's Mansion, and then tossed out a few pieces of silver. "I have bought this person! Quickly give me the deed of sale!"

"Customer, this..." The procuress stared at the silver pieces. "Customer, you are being too stingy. I bought this girl for thirty taels of silver..."

But when she looked up and saw Lu Zhenting's face, which was as dark as ink, and the two soldiers behind him who were ready to draw their blades, she could only swallow her loss. She handed him the deed of sale she had just tucked into her bosom and sullenly turned to tell the thugs to go inside the building.

Lu Zhenting took the deed of sale, folded it, and placed it in his sleeve. As he raised his eyes, he spotted a ronin wearing a bamboo hat. The moment the ronin met his gaze, he sensed the killing intent rising from him and immediately flashed into an alleyway.

"Japanese pirate!" Lu Zhenting shouted angrily and hurriedly gave chase.
