Si Ning was still being hugged by Lu Hanxiao and avoided it in embarrassment.
Opposite Madam Jing'an Hou looked at it and smiled.
"Look how nervous General Lu is. An Ning, you really married the right husband."
Marquis Jing'an on the side heard this and muttered in amusement.
"Did you marry the wrong person?"
Si Ning's face turned red and his eyes fell on the guy who came in.
"This is not the dish we ordered. All our dishes have been served."
Originally I just wanted to avoid embarrassment and change the topic.
Who would have thought that a cold light suddenly flashed across the street, and then Si Ning was pulled into a hug.
Before Si Ning could recover, she saw the clerk stabbing her with a sharp knife in his hand.
Lu Hanxiao held Si Ning with one hand, put his other hand firmly on the table, and kicked the person behind him.
Marquis Jing'an also reacted, protected Mrs. Marquis Jing'an behind him, and scolded outside.
"Somebody come!"
The assassin was just one person and was quickly surrounded by the guards who arrived.
He knew he couldn't escape and had no intention of escaping. With a glance, he bit the poison and committed suicide.
Everything came and went quickly, it seemed like a simple assassination.
Si Ning saw this and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Lu Hanxiao.
"Don't go there."
"Let me see what kind of poison he took."
His identity could be determined from the poison, but Lu Hanxiao did not let go.
"Let Ming Han check it out."
Minghan and several secret guards took the body down and returned quickly to reply.
"It's just an ordinary killer. He doesn't belong to any organization, and there are no accomplices around. It seems to be a temporary act."
"The killer is coming for me, so he can start from here." Si Ning said.
Ming Han nodded, and when he was about to retreat, there was a noise outside.
There had just been quite a commotion, so the Marquis of Jing'an ordered people to seal the restaurant and no one was allowed in or out.
I don’t know what happened at this moment, but someone came up to report it.
"Master Marquis, general, someone from the Ministry of Punishment is here."
"The Punishment Department?" Marquis Jing'an looked at Lu Hanxiao in confusion, "Why is the Punishment Department here?"
Lu Hanxiao's bright eyes narrowed slightly and he calmly gave an order.
"Stop people and no one can come in."
The subordinate who came to report looked at Marquis Jing'an and saw Marquis Jing'an nodded, indicating that he should just do as he did.
After the others retreated, Marquis Jing'an said again.
"The Ministry of Justice has been very uneasy recently. What do you think?"
Lu Hanxiao, "It's not just the Ministry of Justice that's not at peace, let's eat first."
Even at this time, Lu Hanxiao was still as steady as a rock.
Marquis Jing'an said nothing more, and the four of them finished their meal quietly and went downstairs.
The people from the Criminal Department downstairs had not yet left. When they saw the four people coming down, they hurriedly walked over and bowed.
"Wu Zengyong from the Criminal Department met with General Lu and Lord Marquis."
Marquis Jing'an nodded and asked.
"What are you waiting for here?"
When Wu Zengyong planned to say something, Lu Hanxiao directly pulled Si Ning into the carriage.
Wu Zengyong looked confused and looked at Marquis Jing'an, Marquis Jing'an said.
"General Lu has just recovered from a serious illness. He is not feeling well, so he went back first. What did you say happened to you?"
The prepared words were originally meant for Lu Hanxiao, but now Lu Hanxiao left first. Wu Zengyong hesitated for a moment before replying.
"Master Marquis, there has been a spy in the city recently. Someone just saw him sneaking into this restaurant. I am here to catch the spy."
Marquis Jing'an frowned and asked Mrs. Marquis Jing'an to go back first while he stayed to handle everything.
the other side.
Si Ning got on the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked behind.
Seeing that Marquis Jing'an had been standing there and dealing with the people from the Punishment Department, he asked with some worry.
"Is there something that the Marquis can handle?"
"The Marquis of Jing'an is in charge of public security in the city. If he doesn't handle it, who will?"
The carriage turned a corner and Si Ning sat back down, still a little worried.
"But I think the people from the Punishment Department have bad intentions, and the assassin's appearance is also strange."
If he wanted to kill Si Ning, he could do it when Si Ning was alone.
Why do you have to choose such an occasion?
Lu Hanxiao and Marquis Jing'an both knew kung fu, so fighting one against two was never a clear choice.
There is something fishy everywhere!
"The assassin may not be coming for you."
Lu Hanxiao took out a box from his pocket and handed it to Si Ning.
Si Ning was puzzled, thinking that Lu Hanxiao was giving her some important evidence, but when she opened it, it turned out to be a pair of earrings. She looked at the person opposite with a confused expression.
"What's this?"
Lu Hanxiao had no expression on his face and replied calmly, "Opening gift."
"But……"
"This is for you." Lu Hanxiao said.
Si Ning held the box and stared at it, finally said thank you and put it away carefully.
Seeing that she didn't refuse, Lu Hanxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked in a deep voice.
"How do you plan to deal with today's matter?"
"What happened today?"
"The doctor at the Yisheng Medical Center."
"Teach him a lesson and let him go."
Lu Hanxiao thought that with Si Ning's temperament, he would drive that Li Dawei out of the capital, but he didn't expect that he would just give him a lesson and let him go.
"Why?" Lu Hanxiao was puzzled.
"Because it's not easy to train a doctor who can treat illnesses and save lives."
The status of a doctor in this world is very embarrassing. The rich look down on him, and the poor cannot afford to hire him.
Therefore, there are only a handful of doctors in the entire capital who can treat patients.
Moreover, in ancient times, it took several years for an apprentice to become a master. Most of the doctors who could treat people independently started in elementary school and could not become apprentices until they were in their twenties or thirties.
Studying medicine is a hard job, and you can't learn it if you are not literate. Those who are literate must have a prominent family background or have obtained a good reputation, and there are very few people who practice medicine.
Li Dawei's calculations about their medical clinic were true, but he didn't go to the point of being crazy.
So Si Ning didn't want to care about it. She guessed that Li Dawei already knew her identity.
As long as he doesn't want to die, he probably won't trouble her again.
Lu Hanxiao didn't think so, "If you cut the weeds without eradicating the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows. Si Ning, no one may understand your righteousness."
"If there is another time, I will definitely kill him with my own hands."
Lu Hanxiao didn't say anything, and neither of them spoke for the rest of the way.
The carriage stopped outside the gate of Ning'an Hou Mansion, but Lu Hanxiao did not get out of the car.
"I still have something to do, you go in first."
There was something fishy about everything today, and Lu Hanxiao had to take precautions in advance.
Si Ning didn't ask him where he was going, nodded, turned around and entered the house.
When she went out today, she didn't take Qiu Ju with her. Qiu Ju was waiting for her at the door early in the morning.
Seeing her coming back, he stepped forward and reported back.
"Old Madam, please come over. The Second Madam is also here. Do you need a slave to push you?"
Si Ning said, "No problem, I'll go take a look."
She turned around and walked towards the old lady's yard.
