As Shang Ruoyi finished speaking, Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "Yes, yes, we will be extremely careful."
She waved her hand and the officers and soldiers went to search the backyard.
Situ Wen stared at her. Shang Ruoyi was sitting on the armchair, and the guard beside her brought her a cup of hot tea. How could this posture look like that of a guilty thief? It's obvious that he has a plan in mind.
After a while, an officer came forward and said, "Sir, we found a secret door in the rockery in the backyard."
Situ Wen glanced at Shang Ruoyi with some excitement. She was wearing a mask at the moment, so her facial expression could not be seen, but from her relaxed state, she did not seem nervous at all.
“Lord Lingjun, could you explain to me this secret door…” Situ Wen looked like a smug villain.
Shang Ruoyi waited for him to finish, handed the teacup to the guard next to her, and sneered: "Why, the manor next door is mine, can I install a secret door between the two manors?" She stood up, gathered her body and said: "You want to buy a house even if you have money?"
"Why would you buy such a big house by yourself?" Situ Wen said coldly.
"Your question is really ridiculous. What is the house used for? Of course it is used for sleeping. Is it used to raise pigs?" She sneered, "Why, how many rooms does General Situ's mansion have? Or is there a bed? Anyway, in the general's mind, as long as the house can be lived in, it's enough."
Shang Ruoyi's words made Situ Wen's face turn purple.
"Hmph, I'll let you be proud for a while. I'm going to go to the next village and take a look. If I find anything, don't blame me for being merciful."
He shook his head and followed the soldiers to the secret door, walked through the secret passage, and came to the next courtyard. He saw that the courtyard was larger than the one next to it, but after searching around, he could not even see a cat except for a few guards.
This ban made Situ Wen's face even gloomier.
"How is this possible?"
Zhou Xiangyue was a little surprised.
What is going on?
They received a tip-off that He Yuwen had appeared near these two villages.
Where would such a living person hide?
How could they have imagined that Shang Ruoyi would have such a magical space.
"How is it? Did the two adults gain anything?" Shang Ruoyi said in a cold voice as she walked away.
"Tell me! Where did you hide He Yuwen?" Situ Wen rushed forward and was about to grab her by the collar.
The secret guard behind him was about to step out when he saw Shang Ruoyi suddenly swung out a palm, hitting He Yuwen's palm.
"ah!"
With a scream, He Yuwen's entire arm was pushed backwards, and the bone at his shoulder seemed to bulge out.
Tsk tsk tsk, this arm is useless.
People who practice martial arts know that this kind of injury is irreversible. Even if a medical saint were alive and could reconnect broken bones, it would be difficult to make up for the damage to the arm.
For a general like Situ Wen, losing his arm means he can no longer fight on the battlefield.
No one expected that she had such profound inner strength.
"You! How dare you speak against me!" Situ Wen's head was covered with sweat, and he was furious. He said angrily: "You have committed a crime and seriously injured an official of the court. You should be executed!"
Shang Ruoyi rubbed her wrist and said sarcastically, "You are offending me? Who do you think you are? How dare you act like an official in front of me?"
Situ Wen almost fainted from the severe pain in his shoulder.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiang knew that He Yuwen's matter would have no result today.
Before he left, he smiled and said, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, please don't blame me, Doctor. We are rude, and we apologize to you here."
If this mansion belonged to an ordinary citizen or a merchant, and they had arrested the wrong person, they would not admit defeat. After all, how could the people fight against the officials, and the people go against the government, and there will be no good ending?
But how could the miraculous doctor Lingjun be compared with ordinary people?
Even His Majesty praised her medical skills highly. If she had come to the rescue this time, the Queen would probably not be alive until now.
Because of this, he naturally had to treat Shang Ruoyi with respect.
Shang Ruoyi glanced at him. She knew exactly what he was thinking.
"Since Lord Zhou said so, I will give you this face."
Hearing her say this, Zhou Xiang's heart slowly settled down, but before he could smile wider, he heard Shang Ruoyi continue, "How are you two going to compensate for the loss of my mansion?"
At this time, Situ Wen didn't care what she said and was already in a semi-comatose state. Zhou Xiang's smile froze, knowing that he might go bankrupt today: "What does the divine doctor mean..."
"Master Zhou, please don't worry. I am not the kind of person who is savage and reasonable. You need to compensate me for the damage to my gate, and the damage for disturbing my peace tonight."
"Okay, okay. Do you know how much money the miracle doctor wants?"
Shang Ruoyi thought for a moment and said, "How expensive is this gate? How much silver did it cost to repair it?" She looked at the guard beside her, and the guard understood and said quickly, "My lord, the gate only cost 30,000 taels of silver."
"30,3000 taels?" Zhou Xiang couldn't help but gasp: "What gate costs 30,000 taels? Even the main gate of the imperial palace doesn't cost 30,000 taels!"
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "You know, this door is coated with a very special medicinal paste, which will prevent it from being eaten by insects for a hundred years. This medicinal paste is extremely precious, and any amount of silver can buy it, so it is worth thirty thousand taels."
Zhou Xiang knew that she was asking for too much and was blackmailing him.
He lost thirty thousand taels of silver in vain, and not only offended someone but also failed to catch the criminal.
This time we lost both our men and our troops.
"As for my losses, I will ask you for money. However, I heard that there is a red coral in Lord Zhou's house. It is said that red coral is very good for sleeping. I will shamelessly ask Lord Zhou for it today. I wonder if Lord Zhou will give me this favor?"
Red coral is extremely valuable. She remembered that Zhou Xiang gave her a coral as a gift on her wedding day. At that time, she heard someone say that Zhou Xiang loved collecting. He had a very beautiful blood-red coral in his study, which he displayed brightly.
Recently, she is developing a pill, which requires red coral as medicine.
If Zhou Xiang knew that she wanted to use such a precious thing as medicine, he would probably be furious.
He smiled bitterly and nodded: "Since the divine doctor likes it, I will definitely send someone to deliver the coral when I return."
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "In that case, I will thank you in advance."
Zhou Xiang looked at Situ Jing beside him and saw that his lips were blue and purple, with a trace of blood slowly flowing from his lips.
"Is this poisoning?"
He exclaimed in surprise: "General Situ! Wake up!"
Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly. When she fought with him, she did not poison him. So, the poison must have already entered his body long ago.
"Divine doctor, can you treat General Situ?" Zhou Xianggong asked.
