"My Lord, Madam, please take a seat." The nearly sixty-year-old County Magistrate Zhu respectfully gestured for invitation.

He had been the county governor of Qucheng for eight years and had met Xue Wenyu many times. He knew the Duke's temperament very well and did not like flattery.

So, every time Xue Wenyu came because of the war, except for necessary meetings, he never got close to him.

Xue Wenyu originally wanted his wife to sit with him to investigate the case. Since the person had been caught, he could just sit down and interrogate him slowly.

However, seeing his wife looking around those people thoughtfully, Xue Wenyu just waved his hand at Governor Zhu and did not sit down.

"The people were caught in a dilapidated temple in the south of the city. A citizen came to report that there were strange outsiders. From the time they were caught until now, they refused to say a word." County Magistrate Zhu did not dare to sit down, so he had to stand with them and tell them when he remembered.

The three people arrested were a man in his thirties and the other two were teenagers in their teens.

Xue Wenyu and his subordinate Lin Chuan focused their attention on the man. Although he looked like a woodcutter, he was not one at all. Instead, he was a martial artist with good kung fu skills.

But Mu Yingbao's attention was on the child. Although the two of them were wearing tattered clothes and their faces were dirty, the dirtiness was deliberately disguised.

The exposed area of ​​the neck has clean skin.

The man was very nervous and the two children were very scared.

Mu Yingbao noticed that the younger one's lips were a little chapped, his face was abnormally red, and his breathing was not right.

Seeing Mu Yingbao staring at the smaller one, the man and the older one simultaneously searched the smaller one behind them.

"He is sick." Mu Yingbao was not displeased. She looked at the man and said to him without any questioning tone.

The man just protected the younger one and remained silent.

"I'm a doctor, let me take a look at him." Mu Yingbao said again.

The man looked a little hesitant, but after taking a look at Xue Wenyu and Zhu Junshou, his expression immediately returned to its previous state.

"It's you who is in charge of the Li family pharmacy, right? You can't learn how to treat a disease by just flipping through medical books. If it were that easy, there would be doctors everywhere. And some diseases may look similar, but if the right medicine is not used, not only will it not be cured, but it will backfire and make the condition worse." Mu Yingbao advised patiently and kindly.

E

Although he was unsure of the identities of the three people in front of him, Mu Yingbao was certain that they were not bad people.

Besides, two of them were children. Mu Yingbao was patient, but the others around him were not. Especially Xue Wenyu, who looked at the man with anger in his eyes; "He is so ungrateful, there is no need to waste words with him. Let's go back and rest." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to stir Mu Yingbao's shoulder and was about to walk out.

Mu Yingbao didn't want to leave just like that, even though the other party hadn't spoken a word, there must be some reason why he had to do so.

But the sick person is a child, and he seems to still have a fever, so we can't delay any longer.

It's not impossible to force the child to receive treatment, but is there really no better way?

While Mu Yingbao was thinking about it, Xue Wenyu took her out.

"Madam, please save my brother." An anxious voice suddenly came from behind.

Mu Yingbao, who didn't want to leave in the first place, stopped immediately and turned around to see that the older child had already knelt down.

Was it him who shouted? No, it should be her, the child is a girl.

Obviously, the man didn't expect this to happen and reached out to pull the road.

"Madam, please save my brother. Fei'er will work like a slave to repay you." The man on the side of the road begged while walking towards Mu Yingbao, but was stopped by a yamen runner.

The man who originally wanted to stop her bit his lip and finally withdrew his hand, with an expression of grief, anger, helplessness and resignation.

The younger one was very nervous. He looked at the road, then turned his head to look at the man, and was at a loss as to what to do.

Mu Yingbao looked at Xue Wenyu, wondering what to say.

After all, this is the border, and the identities of these three people are unknown and they are captured thieves.

Even if I want to do something, the county magistrate will not stop me or refuse me, but that's not how things are done.

Before she could speak, Xue Wenyu understood what she meant. He looked at the governor Zhu, pointed at the boy and said, "I'm going to take him away for treatment. I wonder if this will embarrass Lord Zhu."

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, he's just a child." County Magistrate Zhu quickly expressed his opinion.

Mu Yingbao waved to the little one, "Come here, I'll take you back for treatment, and then come back to see Jie Da after you're cured."

"Little brother, you must listen to what my lady says and be good. When you get better, you will still be with your sister." Seeing that the younger brother was still scared and didn't want to leave, Luzhe hurried over, took his hand and coaxed him softly.

When Mu Yingbao heard this, she secretly tugged at Xue Wenyu's sleeve and looked at him pitifully.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Xue Wenyu would have laughed out loud. "Ahem, Master Zhu, how about I take this big one away with me? I'll have to keep him here.

"It's the same in fact." Xue Wenyu couldn't stand his wife's pitiful look at all, so he spoke again and pointed at the man.

This was a bit against the rules, and he had never done anything like this before.

E

"Same, same." County Magistrate Zhu responded immediately. If he hadn't seen the Duke's displeased look on the man's face, he would have almost said to take all three away together.

They stole some medical books and some common herbs from Li's pharmacy. The worst that could happen is that I could pay a few taels of silver to compensate Li's pharmacy.

If Xue Wenyu didn't know the character of County Magistrate Zhu very well, he would really misunderstand that the county magistrate was a corrupt and incompetent official.

The two children were very surprised to hear that they could be together, but the man was a little excited and wanted to step forward to stop the two children. His eyes were so scary that the yamen runner who was originally stopping him took a step back.

However, Lin Chuan stepped forward and stood in front of the man.

"You'd better stay here quietly, otherwise..." Xue Wenyu said coldly, then glanced at the two children and gave the man a look that said you know what I mean.

After hearing this, the man's expression became very ferocious, his fists clenched so tightly that they made crackling sounds, but he finally forced himself to hold it in.

Mu Yingbao ignored all this and asked the brother and sister to follow her out.

The hall soon became quiet.

"Sir, do you still want to try this man?" The legal advisor, who had been trying to remain silent, stepped forward and asked County Magistrate Zhu.

Zhu Jun Shou then withdrew his gaze from the gate and looked at the man who was still glaring. "Him? We don't need to waste our energy at all. Just suppress it and lock it up. Biting is wrong. Old Jie, are you doing this on purpose?"

The two little ones were taken away by the Duke, and the identities of the three of them will be figured out soon, so there is no need for us to bother with this person.

The exposed lawyer laughed and said, "I did it on purpose. I thought you were only thinking about the first-rank lady."

"Go away, what are you talking about? What do you mean I'm only thinking about the first-rank lady? The official treats you well on weekdays, so don't harm the helmet official." Zhu County Magistrate Tang Xie scolded in a panic while looking in the direction of the gate to confirm that the person had already gone far away.

"Yes, yes, yes, I should have chosen an inappropriate word, please forgive me, sir. However, are those rumors really not exaggerated? Is it really this first-rank lady who caused that person to be "infamous for eternity"? "The master still couldn't believe it.

Just now he had been standing by and carefully observing the First Rank Lady, and she was totally different from the vicious and evil woman in the rumors!

In the carriage outside the government office, the brother and sister huddled in a corner, looking up from time to time.

The exposed lawyer laughed and said, "I did it on purpose. I thought you were only thinking about the first-rank lady."
