Zhou Zhengsheng stood motionless, staring at the person behind Wang Huiming, as if he had seen a ghost.
Wang Huiming didn't know why, "Mr. Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
"Master Zhou may be too happy to meet me again after a long absence," Si Ning said.
"Do you know each other?"
"I don't know!" Zhou Zhengsheng retorted subconsciously.
How can this be?
How did Si Ning reach the border alive?
That person had obviously given him the news, and she had fallen off the horse and died.
The other party will not deceive her, and will never fail.
But Si Ning was indeed standing in front of him.
He turned to leave, but Si Ning stopped him.
"Master Zhou, the emperor gave me an imperial decree before leaving, saying that you recommended me to come to the border. I haven't thanked Master Zhou for this kindness. Why did Master Zhou leave in such a hurry?"
Zhou Zhengsheng paused for a moment, hesitating in his heart.
Should Si Ning die in this prison, or should he just pretend that nothing happened?
Now that the border offices are all under his control, and Wang Huiming is on the same boat as him, he should not betray him.
Zhou Zhengsheng's hanging hands tightened again, he made up his mind, turned around and said to Wang Huiming.
"Master Wang, this prisoner is talking nonsense. It is better to hand it over to the Yamen for interrogation. I have some matters to discuss with you."
Wang Huiming was said to be confused. What on earth is going on?
But after Zhou Zhengsheng said this, he couldn't ask any more questions and could only follow him out.
Before leaving, he reluctantly looked back at Si Ning. Could it be that he was having an affair with Zhou Zhengsheng?
As soon as this idea came to mind, a rapid voice sounded from a distance.
"My lord, my lord..."
Wang Huiming looked unhappy when his thoughts were interrupted.
"What happened?"
Just as his subordinates were about to report back, they were stopped by Zhou Zhengsheng.
"What are you talking about while walking?"
Although Si Ning is now a fish and meat and he is a swordsman, he still can't help but be a little cautious.
After spending so much money but not killing Si Ning, Zhou Zhengsheng did not underestimate the enemy.
Qiu Ju looked at the three figures walking away and only had time to hear the subordinate whisper something about buying medicine.
He turned to Si Ning and said angrily, "That Mr. Zhou is going too far. He obviously knows you, but he pretends not to know you. What on earth is he going to do?"
Si Ning bent down to spread the grass on the ground and sat down again.
There was still some unfinished tea on the table. She poured a cup and took a sip without any worry on her face.
Qiu Ju was so anxious that she walked to Si Ning and half-knelt down.
"Ma'am, what are your plans?"
Si Ning didn't take it seriously, "I don't have any plans."
She poured another cup of tea for Qiu Ju and pushed it in front of her.
"What's the rush? It's not us who should be anxious..."
…
"This...why are so many people coming to buy medicine?"
Zhou Zhengsheng and Wang Huiming stood in the yamen, looking puzzled when they saw the endless queue outside the door.
This grand occasion seemed to have only happened a few days ago. Even though it was only a few days ago, it still felt strange.
"Are they all here to buy medicine?"
The subordinate nodded, "That's what everyone said."
Wang Huiming was overjoyed, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly take out the medicine?"
A lot of that medicine was prepared at that time, and there are still many in the Yamen warehouse now.
After hearing this, the government official hurriedly went to move the medicine, and soon the medicine arrived.
"One hundred coins for a medicine, don't grab it."
"This is not the medicine we want!"
Someone shouted loudly, and the official was stunned for a moment.
"Why isn't it the previous medicine? The government office has always sold this kind of medicine."
"This is not a kind of medicine. What we want is another kind, the one sold by Mrs. Lu. Let Mrs. Lu come out. Has Mrs. Lu regretted it and doesn't want to sell our medicine anymore? Please let Mrs. Lu come out."
If someone booed, someone would follow.
For a moment, the entire government office was in chaos, and they were shouting to see Mrs. Lu.
The officials didn't know who Mrs. Lu was, but Zhou Zhengsheng knew.
It's Si Ning who's doing this!
Otherwise, why would a group of people suddenly come to buy medicine and buy medicine prepared by Si Ning?
It's such a coincidence, someone just did it on purpose.
Zhou Zhengsheng's guess was correct. It was indeed arranged by Si Ning.
This was what she asked Si Yihan to do, to incite everyone to come to the government to buy medicine.
She had guessed early on that Zhou Zhengsheng would not recognize her when he saw her, but instead wanted to imprison and execute her in a daze, so that he could sit back and relax.
So if she wanted to leave unharmed, she had to put pressure on him.
The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, so it is obviously not possible to talk things over with the emperor, so we should change the object of pressure on him according to local conditions.
Looking at it now...it turned out to be quite a harvest!
"Oh, Mrs. Lu, we were too blind to recognize you just now."
The prison door was opened, and Wang Huiming walked in first, followed by Zhou Zhengsheng with a dark face.
He prided himself on being a scholar and an elegant guest, and would not bow his head to anyone except the emperor.
Wang Huiming is different from him. He has been doing this since elementary school. He has climbed up from the Ministry of Justice to the Minister of Rites by using official accent.
He could pretend that nothing happened before, and waited until the jailer opened the door and strode in.
"Mrs. Lu, the misunderstanding...it's all a misunderstanding."
Si Ning sat drinking tea without moving, while Qiu Ju looked on with an elated expression.
It turned out that her wife had already made arrangements, and she was really worrying blindly.
Wang Huiming walked to sit next to Si Ning and poured her tea with a smile.
"Mrs. Lu, please give your name early in the morning so that I can go out to greet you. I've heard of you in the capital, but I've never seen you. It's Wang who is blind. You are so noble, why didn't I see you?" Does it mean that your identity is unusual?"
This was embarrassing to hear, but Wang Huiming didn't feel it at all.
He got close to Si Ning, but Si Ning smiled and said nothing.
Seeing that she refused to say anything, Wang Huiming looked back and winked at Zhou Zhengsheng.
Zhou Zhengsheng reluctantly stepped forward and raised his hand to Si Ning.
"Mrs. Lu, I made a mistake just now and didn't recognize you."
Si Ning raised his eyebrows and put the cup in his hand on the table. His voice was neither loud nor quiet, but it was enough to startle the two people present.
Wang Huiming asked with an apologetic smile, "Mrs. Lu, what are you..."
"It's nothing, it's just a slippery hand."
"Yes, this cup is not good..."
"It's okay if Mr. Wang doesn't recognize me, but Mr. Zhou doesn't know me either. Could it be that he has an eye disease?"
Seeing that Si Ning was targeting Zhou Zhengsheng, Wang Huiming wanted to try to help him, but when he saw Si Ning's eyes that looked like a smile but not a smile, he swallowed his words back.
Zhou Zhengsheng had a cold face. If Wang Huiming hadn't persuaded him, he would never have let Si Ning go.
Seeing that he was silent, Si Ning raised his tea cup and took a sip.
Just put it off, the longer you put it off, the less money you will earn.
Wang Huiming also had this idea and was anxious to wink at Zhou Zhengsheng.
"Master Zhou, please say something."
Zhou Zhengsheng was forced to do nothing. The key was that he could not break up with Wang Huiming.
"It's because Zhou's eyesight is bad. Mrs. Lu would be better off not being on the same level as me."
After saying that, she looked at Si Ning, who was still as steady as a rock, and Wang Huiming, who was winking at her next to her, and helplessly bent down with his hands clasped in fists.
"Zhou must apologize to Mrs. Lu..."
