Forced into a substitute marriage? The concubine’s unparalleled medical skills amaze the world

Zheng Lang wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling very happy in his heart.

Fortunately, I was wise at the time and chose the best one.

Otherwise, Zheng Lang felt that he should have decided where to bury himself now.

Qi Hengzhi had dispelled his doubts about Zhou Jingxuan, but felt a little at a loss as to what to do.

He wanted to find an adult to show him the way, but he was afraid that the adults would think he was stupid.

When Zhou Jingxuan and Jiang Si got on the carriage, they changed their previous appearance. Zhou Jingxuan glanced at the injury on his arm coldly: "Qi Hengzhi really wants to kill me."

"Whether I was who he thought I was or not, he wanted to kill me."

Jiang Si could also see clearly that the men in black had also attacked others.

But the sword facing Zhou Jingxuan was deadly, leaving no chance of life.

"Since Qi Hengzhi is so free, let's find something for him to do."

Jiang Si raised her eyebrows, knowing that Qi Hengzhi would be busy next.

On the third day, Jiang Si met Pei Xuan.

Pei Xuan wore a cloak and bowed respectfully to Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take care of this prominent family in Jiangbei."

When something happened to Pei Xuan, it wasn't just the Xie family who took action.

Now it's time to solve it together.

On the second day after Pei Xuan arrived in Ningzhou, he posted a notice asking him to come and play drums if he had any grievances.

In the middle of the night, a woman came to the door to complain.

The woman playing the drum was in her fifties, with gray hair and a stooped figure. She was holding a child with a dull expression beside her.

Pei Xuan immediately invited the woman in.

Pei Xuan was originally a capital official, and Zhou Jingxuan helped him get the imperial edict. In Ningzhou, he was the one with the highest official title except Zhou Jingxuan.

He had been given the order last night to just go ahead and do it without any scruples.

Pei Xuan had long thought that he had been to Ningzhou when the Heyuan Pass was involved, but was ridiculed and beaten by these prominent families. Now it is time for him to get back.

The old woman hunched over and knelt on the ground.

Her voice trembled, as if she was extremely frightened, but she still said word for word: "Please let the civilian women make the decision."

Pei Xuan glanced at the woman in the hall: "If you have any questions, just tell me. If you are wronged, I will definitely help you redress your grievances."

The woman immediately kowtowed: "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

She wiped away her tears before she began to say: "I am here today to beg you to redress the grievances of my son and daughter-in-law."

"The couple were murdered, and not even their bodies were found."

Pei Xuan's eyes darkened: "Please tell me in detail."

The old woman began to slowly tell the whole story.

It turned out that her husband passed away very early, leaving only one child. After she raised the child alone, she arranged a marriage for her son and married a daughter-in-law.

The family used to be harmonious and beautiful, but life just went by like this.

The son and daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson two years after they got married.

Although life is poor, the family is still happy.

The change occurred just a year ago.

A year ago, my son went to work in the city. He usually came back early after work.

But this time they waited around at home but no one was seen.

The next day, the daughter-in-law said that her eyelids were twitching, so they prepared to go to the city to look for the person.

But before they went, the old woman's son was sent back.

It was carried back. The people in the village carried the old woman's son back.

People who carried him back said they saw him lying outside the village covered in blood early this morning.

The village was not big, and there were all familiar people. They immediately recognized him as the old woman's son, and then they carried him over.

Seeing her son like this, the old woman was out of breath crying. Her daughter-in-law felt better and went to find a doctor.

The doctor said that the old woman's son had his leg broken and would be lame even after he recovered.

There were many injuries on the body and a lot of medicine was prescribed.

The old woman's son woke up the next day and told everything.

It turned out that the old woman's son was accused of stealing something when he was working at his employer's house. Naturally, he would deny that he had not stolen anything.

In the end, nothing was found in his pocket, but those people were arrogant and unreasonable, saying that it didn't matter even if they didn't steal it, they stole it anyway.

So he broke his legs and threw him out of the city.

He crawled back all night, and finally passed out from exhaustion at the entrance of the village.

The old woman's daughter-in-law was so angry that her family's money had been used up because of the medicine, so she took her children to her house to ask for an explanation.

Once he left, he never came back, only his stupid grandson came back.

When the old woman's son got a little better, he went to find his wife. When he left, he asked the old woman to take good care of the child.

He went to bring the man back.

But after leaving, the old woman's son did not come back.

The old woman led her grandson to find someone, but they were pushed to the street and accused her of being shameless and trying to blackmail them.

In this way, the old woman's son and daughter-in-law were neither alive nor dead.

She approached the government, but the government was perfunctory and said that her son might not know where he was.

She went to look for him several times, but the government officials yelled fiercely: "We are a government office here, not here to look after your son and daughter-in-law."

"They have legs and can walk on their own. Is it possible that the Yamen has to tie their legs with ropes?"

"If you continue to be so unreasonable, we will not be polite to you!"

The old woman wanted to fight with them, but she gave up again when she thought of her grandson who had somehow become stupid.

If something happens to her again, how will her grandson survive?

She couldn't let anything happen for the sake of her grandson.

So I waited until today, when a new high official arrived in Ningzhou.

It is said that anyone can go to him if they have any grievances.

She had a try mentality, that is, if her son and daughter-in-law died, there must be bones.

It would also be good if she could bring back their bones for burial.

Pei Xuan narrowed his eyes: "Who is your son's employer?"

The old woman trembled her lips and said the name she hated so much: "It's Li Shuan's family."

Pei Xuan immediately said: "Someone, please bring Li Shuan over."

The people in the government office were all former policemen of the Ningzhou government office and were very familiar with Ningzhou affairs.

Hearing this, Li Shuan's expression suddenly changed. One of them stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, I don't know something. This Li Shuan is Mr. Qian's brother-in-law."

"I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding about this, sir."

The policeman said it politely. He thought that if Pei Xuan knew that Li Shuan was related to Qian Benren, he would take the matter to some extent for the sake of the Qian family's face.

After all, the Qian family not only has a great reputation in Ningzhou, but his daughter is now a member of the regent's palace.

With this big tree like the Regent at your back, even if you are coming from the capital, you have to think twice before taking action.

Unexpectedly, Pei Xuan was even more happy when he heard that he was related to the Qian family.

He originally wanted to take action against these so-called noble families. Isn't this an opportunity for God to reward him?

His expression turned cold: "Whatever the Qian family and the Li family, call Li Shu'an to me!"
