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

Wu Yong thought that when Ling Shuming took action, he would make sure that Ling Shuming left two people alive so that he could humiliate them.

To relieve the hatred in my heart!

Ling Shuming naturally didn't take Wu Yong seriously. He walked to the room where Xue Yang was. At this time, Xue Yang already put on a fake smile.

Without the gloomy look from before, he walked over quickly with an apologetic smile.

"Sir is here."

"I asked you to come here because I really have something to discuss with you. I hope you won't get angry."

Although Xue Yang was only a county magistrate, he was still an official. He felt much better immediately when he saw Xue Yang being so polite to him.

He said slowly, "You are welcome, sir."

"If you have anything to say, please tell me."

Xue Yang had hot tea served and asked Ling Shuming to sit down before he spoke slowly.

His face was filled with sorrow and indignation: "Sir, you may not know that today those arrogant and unruly people have come to the government office to cause trouble."

"Xiao Wu has been under my command for many years, so I naturally consider him as my own brother."

"Now that damned untouchable actually told the people that the pirates have been caught."

"Now, even if I want to protect Xiao Wu, there is nothing I can do."

"I have thought about replacing Xiao Wu and his friends, but the Xu family and the lowly people have seen Xiao Wu and his friends."

After saying that, he looked up at Ling Shuming, and then with a pleading look on his face, "Sir, can you kill them in advance?"

"I really can't bear to leave Xiao Wu and the others."

Ling Shuming glanced at Xue Yang calmly: "That's not impossible."

"Just my lord, are you ready for the reward I want?"

Xue Yang gritted his teeth, then said with a pained look in his heart: "I'm ready."

"As long as you succeed, I will give you the things immediately."

After saying that, he looked at Ling Shuming: "My government office is here, so I won't leave."

"Sir, you are so capable, how can I slip away from under your nose?"

"Don't worry, sir. As long as the matter is done, I will give you the gold immediately."

How could Ling Shuming not understand Xue Yang's thoughts? He was afraid that if he took the gold, Xue Yang would not help him.

By then he won't be able to do anything about it.

What a joke! Ling Shuming is not that kind of person at all.

The most important thing in life is integrity. Once you take the money, you have to get the job done.

If it fails, the money will be returned.

Ling Shuming gave a mocking smile: "My lord, you are worried about me."

These words immediately made Xue Yang's heart tighten. He thought Ling Shuming might have poisoned him out of anger.

At that time, he will still have to hand over the gold for his own life.

He was extremely upset at this moment and he should have said it more tactfully.

Unexpectedly, Ling Shuming continued, "Ling is not that kind of person."

"Since you are worried, you can wait for the result at home."

"It won't be too late for me to get paid after the job is done."

After saying this, he said with a hint of disdain: "I don't think you would dare to deceive Ling."

Xue Yang felt somewhat humiliated by these words, but he dared not say a word and only nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, sir. I will naturally offer it to you when the time comes."

"I am a man of integrity."

"Just when will you start, sir?"

Ling Shuming's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "Tonight."

He has done almost all the investigation in the past few days.

There are indeed some people with great martial arts skills among those people, but so what? No matter how skilled they are, their martial arts skills are not enough in the face of poison.

He only needed to place the poison in unexpected places and then wait for the poison to take effect.

Ling Shuming had already explored the location, clothes, food, and water source early in the morning.

Then just wait quietly for the poison to take effect.

Ling Shuming looked confident, which eased Xue Yang's anger a lot.

Xue Yang bowed to Ling Shuming and said, "Thank you very much, sir."

Ling Shuming nodded: "It's only right to take money from others and help them get rid of disasters."

As the night deepened, Ling Shuming whistled a few times at the back door of a small house, and then rang the bell.

Not long after, a little maid dressed in servant's clothes opened the door.

The little maid stood in front of Ling Shuming with a dull look in her eyes. Ling Shuming had a cruel smile on his face: "Put these medicines in the food."

"In the well!"

"And in the spices."

After Li Shuming gave the instructions, he patted the little maid on the shoulders twice and turned to leave.

Just wait until tomorrow, after the first breakfast, and all these people will be dead.

Next, he used the same method to knock on the small door in the backyard of Xu's house.

But Ling Shuming didn't know that when he just approached the yard where Jiang Si and the others lived, someone was staring at him.

His every move was watched.

When he left, the little maid was also captured.

But the little maid still had a dull look in her eyes and struggled stiffly.

Upon seeing this, An Er went to report to Zhou Jingxuan and Jiang Si.

Pushing the person in front of them, Jiang Si frowned at the little maid, then took her pulse, moved her mouth open, and lifted her eyelids to take a look.

Finally, she took out a thin incense stick from the house, lit it, and a strange smell spread throughout the house.

I can’t describe what the smell is; it’s neither fragrant nor smelly, but it just has a smell.

Jiang Si brought the incense to the maid's nose and shook it, and the maid leaned over and retched in an instant.

After spitting out a pool of foul-smelling water, his eyes began to gradually become clear.

Seeing the surrounding environment, her eyes fell on Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan. She paused for a moment, then immediately knelt on the ground: "Master and Madam!"

She was horrified. Hadn't she already gone to bed?

How come he suddenly appeared in the master and mistress's yard?

It’s over, she’s definitely going to suffer this time!

The little maid was nervous and trembling all over. She knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head, and her shoulders kept shaking.

The matchmaker told me when I came here not to make the host unhappy.

If you commit a crime, you will be skinned alive even if you don't die.

All she could think about was that today was doomed.

Zhou Jingxuan's cold voice came from above her head, and she shuddered suddenly.

"Have you come into contact with anyone today?"

"Or something happened?"

The little maid buried her head even lower, and tremblingly recalled what happened during the day, when she came back.

After a moment, she replied in a low voice: "When I was coming back today, I ran into a Taoist priest on the road."

"The wine jug in the Taoist priest's arms was knocked over by me, but the Taoist priest is a kind person and did not ask me to compensate him for the wine. He just told me to be more careful next time."

After that, the little maid asked cautiously, "Does this count?"

Zhou Jingxuan's eyes showed coldness: "Forget it."

Taoist priest? Sometimes a person wearing Taoist priest's clothes may not be a Taoist priest.

It could also be Ling Shuming.

Zhou Jingxuan continued: "What else?"

The little maid continued tremblingly, "Then I came back and started working."

"I went to bed at night."

"But……"
