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

Brother Zhou's destination was not the same as theirs, so no matter how powerful his guards were, they would go their separate ways once the ship docked.

There's no use saying it.

Zhou Jingxuan naturally saw that he was hesitant to speak, so he said, "Brother Xu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

"So that I can be prepared."

"If something bad had happened, my men would have captured them all last night, and there would have been retaliation for sure."

"So just tell me what you have to say, so that I won't be caught off guard."

As soon as he said this, Xu Ning immediately felt regretful.

That’s right. Given the vengeful nature of those pirates, they will definitely not let Brother Zhou go once they get out.

It would be fine if Brother Zhou and the others left, but if they didn't have time to leave, they would definitely be retaliated by those pirates.

He looked at Zhou Jingxuan solemnly: "To be honest, Brother Zhou, you must be careful."

"Last night, the pirates deliberately told me that it would be useless even if we sent them to the authorities. They would be out soon."

After Xu Ning finished speaking, Xu Yan immediately responded, "That bastard even said that he would come to my house to propose marriage!"

Xu Yan's face was filled with resentment, and she felt that the vicious pirate was so shameless!

How dare he say such a thing?!

But when she thought about what if it was true, what would she do?

Thinking of this, Xu Yan's face turned pale.

Jiang Si frowned and said, "So Master Xu is saying that those pirates are colluding with the government?"

Xu Ning immediately shook his head: "I'm not sure about this either."

"It's just that what the pirate said is a little suspicious."

"Also, logically speaking, if the government wants to suppress the bandits, they can't be afraid of those water bandits."

"But we only sent troops out twice, and each time we came back with great fanfare but without any gains."

"The government said that the pirates were so cunning that they couldn't catch them at all."

"There was another time when even government officials were killed or injured."

"It's strange, how could the government be so helpless against a group of pirates? I didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but what the pirates said last night made me think more about it."

"This is just my wild imagination, don't take it seriously."

Although they said so, Zhou Jingxuan and Jiang Si both knew in their hearts that this was probably the truth.

The collusion between officials and bandits has made the water bandits so rampant.

Zhou Jingxuan suddenly asked: "This is Huai County, right?"

"Brother Xu is from Huai County. Is there anything delicious or fun to do in Huai County?"

Xu Ning was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Jiang Si casually say: "My husband and I are traveling south for fun."

"If there is anything fun or delicious in Huai County, we will stay for a few days."

Xu Ning still had some questions at this time. His eyes lit up and he said, "You guys have asked the right person."

"I may not be familiar with other places, but I was born and raised in Huai County, and there are many delicious and fun things to do in Huai County."

"Brother Zhou, you must stay in Huai County for a few days."

"There is a kind of cloth in Huai County, which is made of colorful spider silk. The quantity is very small, and it is impossible to find it anywhere else except Huai County."

"It's just right that my sister-in-law can go and have a look then."

Zhou Jingxuan smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Xu."

Xu Ning's face was full of surprise: "No trouble, no trouble."

After returning to his boat, Xu Ning still felt a little unreal.

If he could invite Brother Zhou to live in his house at that time, with Brother Zhou's guards around, he wouldn't have to be afraid of those pirates anymore.

Moreover, those pirates have become enemies with Brother Zhou, so I don't think Brother Zhou will let them go.

Otherwise, I would not have stayed in Huai County.

At this moment, Xu Ning felt that it was the blessing of his ancestors. If he were at home at this moment, he would have wanted to go to the ancestral temple to burn incense for his ancestors.

The ship docked in the afternoon, and as soon as it docked, An Er sent these people to the government office.

Zhou Jingxuan originally wanted An Er to go and kill all the pirates, but today he changed his mind.

He wanted to see whether the magistrate of Huai County was in collusion with the pirates.

He only asked An Er to send the people on the boat over, and then told them that these were the evil bandits and left.

When An Er left, those people spoke nicely, especially the master, who solemnly assured An Er: "These pirates have harmed countless people. Thank you for capturing them this time."

"Now the people of Huai County will no longer be disturbed by it."

"The waterways will be safe in the future!"

"Don't worry, brave man. We will punish these people severely and will never let them go."

An Er nodded and turned to leave.

As soon as An Er left, the master's expression immediately changed. He looked gloomy and no longer as kind as before.

He said coldly: "Why don't you go up and untie him!"

The yamen runners immediately stepped forward and untied the ropes on Wu Yong and the others.

Wu Yong's face was full of gloom, and he flexed his wrist: "I let that Xu guy escape this time, I will definitely not fail again next time!"

The master's face was full of dissatisfaction: "Wu Yong, what on earth did you do!"

"How come you can't even do anything to the Xu family? How can those guards they hired be your opponents?"

"We all know what you did in the past. How come you can't even defeat a bunch of rabble?"

"And he was captured!"

"When the master comes, let's see how you explain it!"

The lawyer's face was full of dissatisfaction. They had taken Wu Yong in to Huai County because they saw in his ability.

But now I can’t even do the smallest things!

Useless things.

Wu Yong opened his mouth to explain, but swallowed the words back.

What's the use of telling him? He will have to repeat it again when the adults come.

It would be better to wait for the adults to come and explain.

Not long after, Huai County Magistrate Xue Yang arrived.

He had a slightly protruding belly and looked kind, but only those who knew him well knew how deceptive his face was.

Xue Yang looked at Master and Wu Yong and said calmly, "What's going on? What day is today? Everyone is gathered together."

The master hurried forward and said in a flattering tone, "Wu Yong and his men were kidnapped and sent here."

Xue Yang narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Yong, with no trace of gentleness on his face, which made Wu Yong feel a little scared.

He lowered his head and explained quickly: "Sir, we have already succeeded."

"We subdued all the members of the Xu family last night."

"Originally, everything would have come naturally. All we had to do was wait for Xu Yan and I to have settled the matter. The Xu family would have no choice but to acknowledge me as their son-in-law."

"But I didn't expect someone to show up halfway."

"There was a small boat following the Xu family's boat."

"That boat may not look impressive, but the people on it are top-notch experts."

"My brothers and I were no match for them and were eventually captured by them."

"If there hadn't been people on that boat last night, everything would have been a foregone conclusion."

"But I see that those people are not from Huai County. They are probably just passing by. I guess it was just an accident."
