doctor knife in hand

In the same night, Lu Jin took Lu Xin away from Ji's house and stayed at Changlai Inn.

He asked Ding Xiang and Sanqi to go to the shopkeeper for hot water, while he carefully inspected Lu Xin's neck, and found that the strangle mark was red, swollen and purple. It can be seen that if he came one step later, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Those bastards!" Lu Jin was really angry, cursed in a low voice, and gave Lu Xin the medicine with a dark face. Fortunately, he brought the medicine box with him, otherwise, where would he go to find the medicine in the middle of the night.

After Lu Xin's initial panic, she has calmed down now. Looking back, it seemed like a nightmare.

"I always believed that Ah Jin would come back to save me." She said hoarsely.

"But it's still too late, otherwise my sister wouldn't have to suffer this kind of pain, you must be terrified." Not to mention a weak woman, even a strong man who was almost killed would have a hard time getting over it, let alone Lu Xin knew it, This is even more tormenting.

Thinking of this, Lu Jin blamed himself: "I was too careless, knowing that Ji's family is not good to get along with, and Ji Chuanyu has bad intentions for you, so I left in a hurry."

Lu Xin shook his head, "It's not your fault, it's me who is useless and underestimated the dangers of people's hearts."

This is the end of the matter, there is no need to say this, although the process was dangerous, but at least Lu Jin brought her out of Ji's house, and it was just a worry.

However, Lu Jin still had doubts. He said, "Second Sister, do you know who sent me the letter?"

If Lu Jin didn't ask, Lu Xin almost forgot, she hurriedly said: "It's the Fourth Young Master and Fourth Young Madam, they helped me secretly." Then Lu Xin told how the Fourth Young Madam reminded her, and how to arrange people to take her The letter and the hairpin went to Jiangzhou.

"The fourth younger brother and sister are from the Liu family. When she married, she married many shops and farms, and the shopkeeper often came to Ji's house to look for her, so she could avoid Ji's house and send me letters to Jiangzhou."

It's really good bamboo shoots out of evil, Lu Jin said with emotion: "I will repay their kindness when I have the opportunity in the future."

As for how to repay, Lu Jin thought of the three conditions offered to Ji's family today. If they come forward... then he will pay them back if he gives up.

Lu Jin finished administering the medicine to Lu Xin. At this time, Sanqi and Ding Xiang came in with hot water, and he said, "Second Sister, you have been making a fuss all night, you should rest first, let Ding Xiang sleep with you, I'm next door The house, call me immediately if you need anything. Don’t worry, it’s safe here, and the British Duke’s personal guards are all there.”

Lu Xin nodded, and Ding Xiang came over to help her up, undo her bun and put down her hair.

It was not convenient for Lu Jin to be here, so he went out with Sanqi, but before leaving, Lu Xin stopped him, "A Jin, tomorrow is your brother-in-law's memorial day, although the Ji family is sorry for me, but he protects me Many, I want to... go to worship him."

Lu Jin has clear grievances and grievances. He has no objection to Ji Chuanzong, on the contrary, he admires him very much, so he said: "Tomorrow I will accompany my sister."

Lu Jin closed the door for Lu Xin and returned to his room. He didn't immediately prepare to rest, but sat quietly on the bed.

In a quiet environment, he found his heart beating rapidly and his hands trembling slightly.

Not only because of fear, but also at this moment he realized that he had just killed one person, no, four people!Even if the three servants in the back were strangled to death by his own soldiers, it was his intention.

He raised his hands to cover his face, then rubbed heavily, as if it would calm himself down.

He didn't regret smashing the servant girl who committed an attack on Lu Xin, nor did he regret watching his own soldiers strangle the bastards who were acting as minions, but the murder broke his moral bottom line after all, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

But at the same time, he really didn't understand that it was so sinful to kill someone impulsively out of righteous indignation, how could those people treat an innocent weak woman so coldly and viciously?

Lu Jin was so upset that he couldn't sleep at all. When he was about to sit until dawn, there was a knock on the door.

"Doctor Lu." It was Song Huai's voice.

"Please come in." Lu Jin wiped his face and cheered up.

Song Huai pushed open the door, holding a bowl in his hand, and said, "I know you haven't slept yet, I asked the shopkeeper to make a bowl of calming soup, drink it and then rest."

Lu Jin was taken aback for a moment, then blushed, and sighed in a low voice: "Am I quite useless, but I just killed a perpetrator."

Song Huai put the soothing soup on the table, watched Lu Jin get off the bed and sat up to pick up the bowl, and said with a smile: "Doctor Lu is a kind person at first sight, although he has killed a lot of pigs, this must be the first time .”

Lu Jin smiled wryly, not to mention killing pigs, he had dissected corpses several times, but it was still useless when it should be useless.

"It's okay, we all came here like this, and it's fine after passing this hurdle. This soup is always available in the army. Soldiers who survived the first battle will drink it."

Lu Jin paused holding the bowl, raised his head to look at him, and suddenly thought of Song Heng, he asked, "Is this the same for Mr. Song?"

Song Huai smiled, but did not answer.

Lu Jin suddenly realized that he had crossed the line, and quickly finished the soup, then changed the subject and said, "It tastes good, and there is soothing grass in it for calming."

Song Huai praised: "As expected of Dr. Lu, you can tell when you drink it. It's still some time before dawn, Dr. Lu might as well lie down and rest for a while, even if you can't sleep, just close your eyes."

Lu Jin stood up and saw him off, "By the way, where is Brother Song Tong?"

"He took people to catch the remnants of the water bandits." Seeing Lu Jin's surprised gaze, Song Huai explained, "Although it doesn't matter, it's still troublesome to investigate, so let's settle the matter smoothly."

After Lu Jin took Lu Xin away, he didn't know what happened to Ji's family. He only saw a group of people going to the ancestral grave as soon as the city gate opened the next morning.Then after worshiping Ji Chuanzong's tomb, come back to Ji's family to open the ancestral hall, pay filial piety and get rid of the clothes, and it's over.

The bowl of calming soup seemed to be very effective, and Lu Jin fell asleep before he knew it, and woke him up at [-]:[-] the next morning.

Lu Xin didn't want to bump into Ji's family, so he went to Ji Chuanzong's tomb after they left.

At this moment, paper money is floating in front of the tomb, and incense candles are curling up, but the voices of people have gone, leaving nothing but loneliness.

Lu Xin was wearing white filial piety clothes, with the wooden hairpin on his head, his eyes were reddish under his bare face, looking at the correct name on the tombstone, he couldn't help crying.

She has been able to persevere until now, instead of lying in the coffin, the protection of her deceased husband is the greatest support for her to live.

"In this life and in this life, it is Xin's greatest blessing to be able to stay with Xianggong for four years. I only hope that Xianggong will stay a little on the road to Huangquan, and wait for Xin to find you."

Over the years, the direct lineage of the Ji family has been strong, and the Huichun Hall and the medicinal material business are firmly under control. The collateral lineages have nothing to do except to manage some overseas business for the direct branch or rely on them for a living.

Although Ji Chuanzong is the eldest grandson of the Ji family, he is not the head of the family who holds great power and has no fame, and he doesn't even have an heir. There is really no need for the entire Ji family to worship together.

The purpose of the side branches coming is to show their faces back to the main house, and to get closer to the direct line, so as to gain some benefits.

I didn't expect to encounter such a big private scandal, and it was spread out by outsiders to confront it in the open.

Although there were no people with real power in the sidelines, there were many people, and all of them were surnamed Ji. For such a big event, I immediately contacted several respected elders.

The Ji family started out practicing medicine to save lives, and now Huichun Halls are spread all over the country, whether in Xinglin or the common people, they have a very good reputation, and even a doctor from the Ji family entered the Imperial Hospital to work for the government.

What is it all about?Nothing more than the four words of benevolence of the doctor!

But what happened last night?Using a nightmare as an excuse to forcibly kill the virtuous woman who kept the chastity for the young master of the Ji family!

If this is publicized, marriage is hopeless, and the century-old reputation of the Ji family will be ruined. Once the court is furious and convicts, this will make the Ji family who is an official outside the palace and walks among the nobles how to behave again!

The murder of a doctor is unforgivable!

Several trembling elders beat their chests and stomped their feet, heartbroken. Their seniority is higher than Mr. Ji, so they can directly question Mr. Ji without looking at Mr. Ji's face.

The Elder Master only said that he was busy with affairs and neglected at home, but he did not expect the Eldest Wife and his daughter-in-law to act so boldly and disregard their lives, and he really blamed himself.This was originally a matter of the inner house, and it was normal for a man like him not to know about it, so he was charged with neglect of discipline.

And Mr. Ji was even more kept in the dark, he was no longer in charge of the family, just an old man who cared for his grandchildren and took care of him for the rest of his life.

The father and son put all the responsibility on the two women.

The eldest lady was not present, she had already been deprived of the power of housekeeper, and now she is grounded.

The Third Young Madam was even imprisoned in the ancestral hall on the spot last night, waiting to be dealt with here, but the end will not be better than being sent to the official.

For the sake of her son, the eldest lady took all the crimes on her shoulders. She wanted to send Lu Xin down to accompany Ji Chuanzong because of the nightmare. She accidentally denied that she had anything to do with Ji Chuanyu, and even asked Ji Chuanyu to go out to avoid the limelight.

Sadly, neither the husband nor the son said a word for them.

The Ji family didn't care about the fate of the eldest lady and the third young lady. What they cared about was the three conditions that Lu Jin asked.

Lu Jin is just an unknown kid. If it is normal, the Ji family would have a way to make him shut up, but behind him is the British Duke!

Although the Ji family didn't know why the Duke of England valued him so much, last night's personal guards escorted Lu Jin all the way to Ningzhou, and even opened the city gate. Following his command already showed that Lu Jin's weight in Song Heng's heart cannot be underestimated. !

Although the Ji family is entrenched in Ningzhou, their connections are not limited to this place. They also have people in the court, but there is no way for anyone to meet the British Duke.

Besides the emperor, who else would he look at? Even the crown prince had to speak nicely when he met him. Who would the Ji family invite to talk to such a person?Who can intercede?

What's more, the long-distance water can't quench the near-thirst, and the time limit given by Lu Jin is too short.

"Now it's not important who is right and wrong. The key is how to deal with it next. Most of the day has passed. Isn't it just one day? When will the noisy preparations last?"

A gray-haired old man suddenly spoke. His seniority is the highest here. Although he is not the oldest, he is the youngest brother of Mr. Ji's grandfather. Mr. Ji has to call him "little grandfather." The noise of voices or the whispers of small thoughts have been quieted down.

He looked at Mr. Ji and said, "Dalang, do you have a charter?"

Mr. Ji hadn't spoken before, but now he had to say it. He pondered for a moment and then said: "Three conditions, send the official, reconcile, and apologize. Because of the letter of releasing his wife from the family, the Ji family didn't want this reconciliation. Li has also become an established fact and cannot be changed. As for sending him to the government, it is not impossible... After all, Lu Xin is still alive, even if he is sent in, he will not be sentenced for a few years. The boy insists that he wants fairness and justice, and we will give it to him, so there is no need to entangle him. As for the last... an apology is due, and there is no need to spread it widely. We will reserve a table at Yuxianlou tomorrow and wait for a table. Prepare a good gift, let Chuanming and his wife go to the Changlai Inn in person to treat their siblings, Ji Rong, Ji Chuan, you bring Shangyu and Chuanfang to accompany them, and give them a good gift, that's all for this matter Pass it. Otherwise, the two parties will tear each other apart, and he won't be able to take much advantage if they get stiff."

Lu Jin wanted to go to Beijing with him, but he really got into a fight with Ji's family and delayed the British Duke's major affairs.

The elder master and the second master quickly agreed.

Others have nothing to say.
