Chapter 144 Returning to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion
When Jiang Yunzheng returned, Qi Yunshen had already woken up.
Inside, Qi An was reporting about Qi Yunpei.
Jiang Yunzheng walked around the yard and looked at the medicine furnace for a while.
Suddenly, a voice came from inside: "Where is Doctor Jiang?"
Qi An looked outside and said, "Doctor Jiang is in the yard. I asked her to come in."
Jiang Yunzheng walked into the room with a bowl of medicine in her hand.
On the bed, Qi Yunshen was wearing a white shirt with the belt in front of his chest untied, revealing his strong chest vaguely.
Jiang Yunzheng's gaze returned to Qi Yunshen's face.
After a night, the man's deep and fierce face lost some of its oppressive aura, and his whole body looked much gentler than usual.
Qi Yunshen said softly, "Were you scared last night?"
Jiang Yunzheng stirred the medicine in the bowl, her eyes lowered, her voice steady, "If there's a next time, I might not be able to pull you back from the brink of death."
Qi Yunshen is the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo and General Yunhui. He is the general who will soon go to Xiazhou to fight against Western Xia.
The battlefield is ruthless and swords are merciless.
Who can say what will happen next time?
Qi Yunshen took the bowl of medicine and drank it all in one gulp.
The air was filled with the unpleasant smell of medicine.
Qi Yunshen's eyes were fixed on Jiang Yunzheng's face. Her skin was fair, as if coated with a layer of warm light.
The most important thing now is to find the Huangquan spiritual root. There is no point in saying more.
Jiang Yunzheng is not a person who complains about himself.
She suddenly raised her eyes: "Take the medicine and have a good rest. I'm going out."
Qi Yunshen's hands were empty, and Jiang Yunzheng's figure was blown away like the wind.
He looked far away at the door, and no one knew what he was thinking in his deep eyes.
Jiang Yunzheng left the yard and stood by the medicine furnace, staring at the black medicinal materials. She took a deep breath and called out to Qi An: "How many people have you sent to look for the Huangquan Piling Root?"
Since this matter concerns his master, Qi An dared not be careless: "There are nearly a hundred secret guards sent out, and more than thirty each from Xiling Snow Mountain."
Jiang Yunzheng hummed, staring at Qi An: "It must be as soon as possible."
Qi An nodded heavily.
The trial of the case in Songshu Village began that morning.
Jiang Yunzheng went to the court in front to listen to the trial.
The village chief and Gao Xiu could not escape the death penalty, and most of the remaining men pointed fingers at each other. Since they were all going to die, no one could escape.
At the end of the trial, all the men arrested in Songshu Village were sentenced to death and were to be executed three days later.
As for the women who had been killed earlier, the Yin County magistrate sent officers and soldiers back to Songshu Village to collect evidence and bring back as much evidence as possible so that their families could come and claim them.
Fallen leaves return to their roots, and it would be best if those women who died tragically could find their relatives. If not, the government would find a beautiful place in Songshu Village to bury all their bones.
As for those abducted pregnant women, the government will help them find their relatives. If they can return to their hometown, they can go back. If they cannot find their home or have lost their family, they can settle in Songshu Village and inherit the village’s land. As for whether to give birth to these children, it depends on the wishes of these women.
The government office also issued pensions to these women in the name of the court.
After the case was heard, the men of Songshu Village begged for mercy in the courtroom.
The people of Yin County were extremely angry and wanted to pour all the泔水 in their hands directly into the river.
Before leaving, the old woman came to see Jiang Yunzheng once.
"This time, it's all thanks to you."
Otherwise, there is no telling when these secrets will ever see the light of day, and who knows when these bastards will be brought to justice.
Jiang Yunzheng took off the purse from her waist and handed it to the old woman, "Thank you for your help these past two days."
The old woman refused.
Jiang Yunzheng escorted the old woman out of the government office. "Please keep this money. You can use it in an emergency in the future. It's not much, so please don't despise it."
The old woman couldn't refuse, so she accepted the money and took the pregnant women back to Songshu Village.
The case was successfully concluded, and in the afternoon, the group set out on their journey back to Beijing.
Xie Xuan was alone in a carriage at the back, while Uncle Li was tied to a horse with his face covered. Even if the master and servant were given a chance to escape, neither of them had the strength to do so.
Jiang Yunzheng and Qi Yunshen were in the same carriage. She had a calm expression on her face and had taken Qi Yunshen's pulse several times along the way.
Jiang Yunzheng: "If you feel something is wrong, tell me immediately."
Qi Yunshen stared at Jiang Yunzheng's serious little face and couldn't help but pull her into his arms, "Don't move, let me hold you."
Qi Yunshen was tall and had long legs, his body full of firm flesh. Jiang Yunzheng looked very petite leaning in his arms. Her whole body stiffened, and she leaned in Qi Yunshen's arms and slowly relaxed.
Both of them tacitly agreed not to mention the matter of the white bone and green water poison.
On the way, they encountered another wave of assassinations. Qi An didn't care who the people were. He finally had an outlet for his anger.
Those of you who are not presentable, come here if you are not afraid of death!
Most of the assassins from the Xu Mansion were killed, and Qi An took the remaining few back to the capital.
Uncle Li's face turned pale when he heard the noise of murder.
When they were almost reaching the capital, Jiang Yunzheng got on Xie Xuan's carriage.
In the carriage, Xie Xuan felt pain all over his body. After taking Jiang Yunzheng's pills, the pain spread from his abdomen to his limbs.
Xie Xuan even suspected that he was going to die from the pain.
"You can kill or chop me up if you want, but who are you going to bother with these despicable tactics?"
Jiang Yunzheng smiled and tapped Xie Xuan's face with a dagger.
"Even if the sky falls, you still have this mouth to hold it up."
Xie Xuan yelled at Jiang Yunzheng: "I'm going to kill you!!"
Jiang Yunzheng's ears hurt from what she heard, so she found a piece of rag and stuffed it directly into Xie Xuan's mouth.
Jiang Yunzheng got off at the Song Mansion first, while Xie Xuan and his servant were sent to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Song Wanyun, Wuyou, Hongyu, Nanny Qin, Hou Yue and even Doctor Gu were waiting at the door.
In just over two days, Song Wanyun seemed to have aged ten years.
Jiang Yunzheng's eyes were sore, "Mom, I'm back."
Song Wanyun held Jiang Yunzheng's hand tightly: "I'm glad you're back."
Chao Qing has already left. If Jiang Yunzheng also leaves, Song Wanyun will have no hope in her life.
Nanny Qin, Wuyu, and Hongyu couldn't hold back their tears. They surrounded Jiang Yunzheng and kept muttering, especially Nanny Qin:
"Run faster next time."
Hou Yue leaned against the pillar with her sword in her arms. She looked back and forth at Jiang Yunzheng. After making sure that Jiang Yunzheng was not injured, she hummed:
"Look, this is the consequence of not taking me with you. I don't care, next time you go on an occasion like this, you must take me with you, and you have to pay me more."
It's so dangerous, jumping off a cliff and falling into the water, she won't agree without extra money, she, Hou Yue, is a professional bodyguard.
Jiang Yunzheng smiled and asked, "How is your injury?"
Hou Yue: "It's just a minor injury, not worth mentioning."
Doctor Gu looked at Jiang Yunzheng with a look of relief on his face. As long as she was okay, she was fine.
There are many strange things in the world. There are very few people like Jing Yang who can get the opportunity to be reborn. It can be seen that God has mercy on her and will not let Jiang Yunzheng lose her life easily again.
Everyone from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was also waiting at the door of the mansion. When they saw the carriage approaching, the eldest princess, Qi Yanyu and the people from the second branch of the Qi family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When Qi Zhenzhen saw her father, she immediately ran over, hugged Qi Yunshen's thighs and started crying, "Daddy, thank goodness you didn't become ugly."
Qi Yunshen: “…………?”
The princess was completely relieved to see Qi Yunshen intact. She couldn't help but ask, "Are you injured internally? Why is your face so pale?"
Qi Yunshen: "It's okay, mother, don't worry."
At the edge of the cliff that day, anyone with eyes could see clearly that Qi Yunshen jumped off the cliff to save Jiang Yunzheng.
The eldest princess looked at her eldest son's pale face and swallowed the words she was about to ask.
