Chapter 96 Jiang Jing will die tonight

Bai Luoxue looked at the man next to her and frowned, "If I remember correctly, you are not the county magistrate, right?"

"You're looking for me for the same reason." Wang Daozhi's every move was filled with flattery. "To be honest, I've heard of the old general's reputation for a long time. I really admire your father's bravery and valor. Of course, I've also heard that the old general has a daughter who is both talented and beautiful. Seeing her today, she is truly a fairy."

Anyone will be happy to hear compliments.

Bai Luoxue's worries were swept away. She exchanged a few words with Wang Daozhi and found that this man was not a good person either.

Bribery is bound to succeed.

She took out an exquisite golden hairpin and placed it on the table. She took a sip of tea and talked about business. "I have an old friend who is in prison. I would like to ask Lord Wang to release him."

Wang Daozhi just needs an opportunity to move up.

What's more, this golden hairpin cannot be bought with money. It is equivalent to a token of the general's mansion. "You are so polite. If you need to release someone, you only need to say a word. Who do you want to save?"

"Jiang Jing."

"Jiang Jing?!"

His voice was filled with shock.

Bai Luoxue was puzzled. "Is it impossible? His crime wasn't that serious. Just find a scapegoat. If you can't do it, I'll go find the county magistrate."

"No, no, no." Wang Daozhi quickly stood up and stopped him, "I can do it."

He stared at the woman's figure, his eyes filled with anger and hatred. How could this little fugitive actually know the Bai family? That's right, Jiang Jing was once a native of Shengjing, so these two must know each other. I heard that Jiang Jing was once the man a noble lady wanted to marry, so Miss Bai was no exception, right?

Childhood sweethearts, unforgettable love.

Which man can stand it?

After finding out Chen Zhao's residence, he rode a fast horse to the inn first to prevent Miss Bai from discovering him. Wang Daozhi invited the general to the teahouse for a chat.

Chen Zhao asked, "What do you want from me, General?"

Wang Daozhi placed the golden hairpin carefully on the table with a flattering smile.

"Just now, Miss Bai came to me, presented me with a golden hairpin, and asked me to help her save someone."

"Oh?" Chen Zhao's heart skipped a beat. He picked up the golden hairpin. It was indeed Luoxue's, and she cherished it very much. Fangfei said that it was bought for her by her mother-in-law when she was still alive. Save one? He seemed to know the answer and said calmly, "Who?"

Wang Daozhi observed his expression and said, "General, it was Jiang Jing."

Bang! A surge of rage shot from Chen Zhao's heart to his head. It was Jiang Jing again! Why did Jiusu like such a lowly outlaw? Even Luoxue cared about him? How could he be inferior to him? He slammed the porcelain cup in front of him, shattering it. His hand was cut and bleeding, his face cold.

"If you dare to lie to this general."

"I dare not lie to you." Wang Daozhi knelt on the ground and kowtowed. In order to lure the general into a trap, he had no choice but to reveal his trump card. "To be honest, I have a grudge against Jiang Jing. I actually wanted to ask you, is Jiang Jing on good terms with you? If so, then I will let him go."

Release? Chen Zhao sneered, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"This general doesn't know Jiang Jing. He's a fugitive with extremely bad behavior. He actually took advantage of Luoxue's kindness and soft-heartedness to try to survive! This person, this general, hopes that Lord Wang will deal with him as soon as possible and eliminate this harm to the people!"

The hands in the sleeves were shaking.

He wanted to fly back immediately to ask Luoxue why she did this and how he had wronged her!

Wang Daozhi smiled cunningly. He stood up straight and clasped his fists, saying, "General, don't worry. I will definitely not let Jiang Jing, a lowly person, bring disaster to Suming County."

The second floor of the inn is the best accommodation.

As soon as Bai Luoxue walked in, the door closed and Fangfei was locked outside, unable to open it no matter how hard she tried.

"Miss, this servant..."

"roll!"

Fangfei trembled all over when she heard an angry roar, and her heart beat faster with fear. "General, what, what is going on?" Listening to the quarrel inside, she could only stand at the door, close her eyes and pray silently.

Bai Luoxue propped herself up on the bed and looked at the man in disbelief, "Husband, what's wrong?"

Chen Zhao's expression was cold. "Where did you go just now?"

"I, I went out to look at fabrics. I planned to..."

Bang! The golden hairpin was thrown onto the bed, and Bai Luoxue gasped. She touched her slightly aching stomach, her lips trembling. She wanted to explain, but a slap came over her. She covered her face, tears streaming down her cheeks, "Husband, I didn't mean to lie to you. My sister came to me and begged me to rescue Jiang Jing, so I resorted to this desperate measure."

Chen Zhao stared at her quietly, "She won't beg you."

Bai Luoxue became angry. She stood up suddenly, grabbed the man by the collar, and asked sadly.

"My dear husband, am I not worthy of being asked for favors? Jiusu is a man of integrity, but I am not. If it weren't for you, would I have quarreled with my father? You like Jiusu in your heart, not me, right?"

"What about you? Do you like me or Jiang Jing?" Chen Zhao held her hand and shook it off angrily. His chest heaved up and down as he stared at the woman with uncontrollable anger. His heart was in a mess and he was more nervous than killing an enemy.

Bai Luoxue fell on the bed and turned back to say aggrievedly.

"If I don't love you, why would I marry you? Of course I love you." She looked at him infatuatedly, "The Bai family and the Jiang family are old friends. I was criticized for not helping someone in need. My husband, please don't misunderstand me. I swear, I will never see the Jiang family again. Their life or death has nothing to do with me."

The woman had tears under her eyelashes, and the way she swore was very touching and sincere.

Chen Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bent down, picked up the woman, put her on the bed, wiped away the tears from his eyes with his fingers, and replied as if he remembered something interesting.

"If you can think so, then I feel relieved. Jiang Jing is harming people. I will let Wang Daozhi deal with Jiang Jing as soon as possible. He will die tonight."

He pinched the woman's trembling shoulders, leaned close to her ear and asked doubtfully.

"Not willing?"

"No, my stomach just hurts a little and I want to sleep." Bai Luoxue closed her eyes, turned over, and was unwilling to communicate with others. When she heard the man leave, she could no longer hold back her shoulders trembling, and she clutched the quilt tightly.

Jiang Jing...

Jiusu! Don't you like Jiang Jing? He's dying, do you care?

She kept shouting in her heart.

The sadness and helplessness turned into tears that wet the pillow.

"cough…"

Jiusu's nose felt sore and she rubbed it with her hand. "Hmm, who's talking about her?" She walked into the backyard of the government office and followed the yamen runner to Zhang Tu. "I greet the county magistrate."

County Magistrate Zhang glanced at her.

"It's Miss Jiu, what's going on?"

"I've come uninvited, but I can help you solve a big problem." Jiusu's eyes flickered slightly. She met the county magistrate's puzzled look, and her eyes became more determined as she said, "As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. You've been in a difficult situation recently, haven't you?"

Magistrate Zhang put down the official document and looked at the woman in front of him again.

He crossed his hands on the table and said, "Oh? Where did Erhu come from? Miss Jiu, why don't you tell me in detail."

Jiusu smiled knowingly, "Wang Daozhi is someone close to the prefect. He's arrogant, and in front of so many people in court, he still acted as he pleased, showing no mercy to you. If time passes, I'm afraid your status will be even lower than that of the village chief."
