Chapter 55 offering a daughter

"You are blind, how dare you hit Chief Shen's car? Get out of here quickly and get out of here!"

The sheriff's shouts alarmed Chen Dachun and Shen Tingshu. Chen Dachun opened the curtain, opened the car window, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Sir, a woman held a child and stopped your car. The sheriff was driving people. You sit there with peace of mind. I have already asked someone to keep the surroundings. There will be no major issues." Chen Dachun's assistant official whispered, obviously because he was stimulated by the assassination of the King of England, so he was very worried about safety issues.

"I'll give it to two dollars. Maybe I'll lose my livelihood. By the way, I'll ask her if I don't have any food and clothing to send it to the Relief Office." Chen Dachun was kind-hearted and said casually. Seeing that the scolding from outside became louder, he reminded him: "Don't call the people in front of you, don't be too much, and cause trouble. Maybe someone will say in the newspaper."

Soon, the car continued to walk, Chen Dachun looked outside, the road was very quiet, the woman stood barefoot on the street, holding a baby in her arms, staring at the carriage, when the woman's eyes lit up, and she actually rushed over and shouted, "Sir Chen, save me, sir, save me, I am Xiong Wen's daughter, I am Xiong Wen's daughter..."

The woman was crying and was pushed aside by the sheriff. She saw the stick about to fall on her body and was stopped by the assistant. Chen Dachun clamped the car window, and the voice of the woman kept ringing in her heart, Xiong Wen's daughter, Xiong Wen's daughter......

As he thought about it, he actually murmured. Chen Tingshu saw something was wrong and pushed it gently: "Duke, are you old friends?"

Chen Dachun, who came back to his senses, saw Chen Tingshu's lips tilted up. Considering that he was a beautiful young woman holding a baby with a breastfeeding child, he recognized Chen Dachun again. Chen Tingshu obviously thought about other aspects. Chen Dachun said: "Xiong Wen was once a man in the curtain of his father, and he also taught me that he was an old friend."

Of course, Chen Dachun didn't say it all. Xiong Wen is not just Chen Youlong's aide. When the two met, Xiong Wen also wanted to marry his daughter to Chen Dachun as his concubine. However, with Chen Youlong's death, there was no follow-up. Chen Dachun seemed to be able to recall the shy woman who served tea to him back then, but nearly twenty years passed in a flash.

"Bring people here." Chen Dachun said.

The woman was dragged over, stood up with the wheel, lifted her hair, and bruised on her face: "You are Xiong Wen's daughter. What happened? How did you become like this?"

Twenty years have passed, and things have changed, and women seem to dare not recognize Chen Dachun and asked carefully: "Is it Chief Chen Dachun?"

"It's me, you haven't answered me yet, where is Xiong Wen?" Chen Dachun asked.

"My father died very early..." The woman whispered a miserable past. After Chen Youlong's death, someone took over the position of the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and no one took care of his aides. Chen Dachun had the relationship with Li Mingxun. He first went to Qiongzhou and later joined the empire. Governor Jiulong went there. Xiong Wen took his daughter to survive in Guangzhou, but unfortunately died in the war. The woman was first captured as a military prostitute, and then was captured by the officers under Shang Kexi. Guangzhou city was destroyed and Guangdong and Guangxi was restored. She was quite handsome and became a concubine of the children of the Jin vassals. She joined the empire in the southwest and became the wife of the baron of the empire. However, once liquidated, she became a prisoner. If she had not escaped in the chaos, she would have been imprisoned at this moment.

After the woman finished speaking, she begged: "Sir, look at my father's face and ask you to save my life. I dare not ask the family to be exempted from crime. I just want to help my mother and mother out of the city. I promise that it will never appear again."

Seeing Chen Dachun and a woman talking about grievances on the street, Chen Tingshu whispered: "There are many people, please be careful."

After saying that, Chen Tingshu coughed lightly and said to the outsider: "Take this woman and the child in the car behind you, and then deal with it after you go back. Don't you feel cold at night?"

The sheriff and the assistant officer responded, and the woman also thanked her repeatedly, but Chen Dachun shook her head, turned her head back into the carriage, looked forward, his eyes closed, and he felt a pain in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Since this woman is a family member of the criminal, she should be sent to the Public Security Bureau directly. As an imperial official, I cannot be favoritism and abuse of power. Besides, she has nothing to do with me."

The sheriff was obviously stunned, and then pulled the woman away. The woman grabbed the window frame with one hand and begged: "Sir, please help me, don't send us to prison..."

Chen Dachun said coldly: "Don't worry, the imperial decree, even if it is a major rebellion, it will not cause disaster to the whole clan to be killed. At most, you will be sent overseas, and it is not a dead end. Go."

The woman tried her best to stuff the crying child into the car window: "I beg the lord to take this child in there for only three months, so how can he withstand the pain of festering?"

Chen Dachun shook his head firmly. Chen Tingshu also saw that Chen Dachun was unwilling to shed the muddy water, and shouted: "Hurry up and pull it away, can't even control a woman?"

The car window was closed and the curtains were lowered. The sound outside stopped abruptly, but scenes continued to appear in front of Shen Dachun. He didn't know whether he was doing right or wrong, but he also knew that there was no choice. When the King of England was assassinated, his nature changed. Whoever flowed in this muddy water would be unlucky.

The horse's hooves stepped on the stone slab and made a sound of Gada. Gradually, they went away. A window was opened on the second floor on one side of the street. Zhao Wenting's face was revealed. He whispered: "Chen Dachun doesn't want to get involved, it seems that the situation cannot be violated."

The British King's Villa.

Li Jundu sat on the bed and put a thick letter in the paint seal. When he saw the head guard walking in, his face looked extremely ugly. Li Jundu asked, "How is it, are you going to get back from the survivor?"

"Your Highness..., those two living people... are dead." The chief guard whispered.

"How did you die? When did you die?" Li Jundu's face looked ugly.

The head guard said: "We died when we arrived at the place. The body still had warmth. Obviously, we just died. There were many wounds on the body. The fatal ones were all in the abdomen. They were stabbed to death by someone with nails!"

"What did Zhao Wenting say?" Li Jundu asked.

"I didn't see Chief Zhao. The warden of the Security Bureau said that this person was escorted by Chief Zhao himself. He was originally preparing for a retrial at dawn. Unexpectedly, the prisoners who were locked up were killed. I asked the prisoners and several detainees in the prison, and they all said that they had not had time to interrogate, 80%...80% of Chief Zhao and others knew nothing."

Li Jundu cursed: "You believe such stupid words. If Zhao Wenting got such a prisoner, how could he wait for dawn to retrial? Where is Zhao Wenting and what is he doing?"

"I'm busy arresting people, my feet don't touch the ground. I found several places but couldn't find them. I heard that it was normal in the first half of the night last night, but I caught a lot of people in the second half of the night, and shot them, and many died." The chief guard introduced.

Li Jundu snorted coldly: "Either he really doesn't know, or he pretends not to know, but he works so hard and leaves no room for anything, so he is not afraid of local officials' revenge......"

After thinking about it, there was no clue. Li Jundu handed the letter in his hand to the chief guard and said, "Send someone to the capital and meet the father in person, and there must be no mistakes."

"This...what is this?" Seeing that it was a private message rather than a document, the chief guard was a little suspicious.

Li Jundu smiled and said, "No matter what I did, as long as I don't hide it from my father, I can take care of anything if I have anything to do!"

After hearing this, the chief guard immediately knew what was written in the letter and hurriedly stepped down.

Li Jundu originally thought that he only needed to pretend to be injured for half a month before he could get out of bed and walk around, and personally presided over the military and political work in the southwest. He could also be a little leisurely in the past half month, but he never thought that he had not even had a day of leisure, not to mention half a month. Since he confirmed that Li Jundu was not seriously injured, officials and local merchants from the southwest came to visit under various names, holding various famous posts in his hand, but he had only one purpose, to send someone to Li Jundu, and he was a woman.

"Your Highness, Chief Chen is asking for a visit." Li Jundu had just thrown a newspaper aside and was about to take a nap in the afternoon when he heard the guard whisper outside.

"Which Chief Shen?" Li Junduo yawned and asked.

The chief guard lifted the curtain and came in, approached Li Jundu's ear, whispered, and said, "Chief Shen Ting Shu... He also brought one..."

Li Jundu smiled disdainfully: "What have you seen before? You are so beautiful. Forget it, please come in."

Chen Tingshu walked in quickly. After saluting, Li Jundu asked someone to bring a stool. Chen Tingshu looked at Li Jundu's movements but was a little stiff, and said with a smile: "Your Highness looks much better than a few days ago, but his face is still a little worse. It seems that only the wound heals is left to recuperate. Congratulations to Your Highness."

"Yes, the wound no longer hurts. The doctor said that you will be able to walk around in a few days." Li Jundu said.

Chen Tingshu nodded: "It's a trauma, and it's just that he is very careful in recuperation. Weichen saw that the doctors and guards served by His Highness were so rough. It happened that Weichen had a suitable person around him and wanted to send him to serve His Highness."

This kind of thing has not happened once or twice. Li Jundu got used to it and said, "You have the will, don't know who you are?"

Chen Tingshu felt relieved when he saw Li Jundu asking this. He had already inquired that many people came to do this in the past three or five days. Li Jundu didn't show it to him or her. Today he actually treated him preferentially. He couldn't help but feel excited and smiled and said, "It's the eldest granddaughter of the Wei minister. Chen Yourong, who is only one year younger than His Highness. Now he is studying medicine at the Imperial Women's College and knows some medical skills. He just serves His Highness to recuperate."

"Oh, a student from the Women's College? A young woman from the new dynasty." Li Jundu nodded.

Seeing Li Jundu praise, Chen Tingshu hurriedly gave the people around him a wink. Soon, a woman came in outside, wearing a moon-white robe and giving a gentle bow. The country was so beautiful that she was so beautiful, but she was so beautiful. Li Jundu raised his hand to let him stand up and said to Chen Tingshu: "The Shen family has two famous families and ladies, and is well-known. Lord Shen, your request is accurate."

"Thank you for your appreciation." Chen Tingshu was quite happy, but Chen Yourong was surprised. Obviously, she knew that Li Jundu had rejected many people, so why did she leave herself alone?

Chen Tingshu only stayed for a while before getting up and left. Seeing that Chen Yourong was a little embarrassed, Li Junduo asked with a smile, "Miss Chen knows why I keep you by my side to serve you when I see you?"

Chen Yourong shook his head slightly, and Li Jundu said: "In the past five days, seven people have sent people to me, but there are only three types of people, the willful and arrogant lady, the flower slutty who climbs the dragon and attaches to phoenixes, and the courtesan who is born from fireworks. If you have attended girls' academy like you, the first girl with new ideas. I know that I can't escape it and know what your grandfather means. Since you are the best choice, stay."

"Then aren't you afraid that things will go against your wishes and regret it for life?" Chen Yourong asked.

Li Jundu thought for a while and said, "That should be when I was ten years old. I just figured out the matter between men and women. My father, the emperor of the empire, told that people like me, marriage is destined to be involuntarily, so marriage is marriage, love is love. The eldest son of the empire married the granddaughter of the senior congressman of the empire. From the perspective of political marriage, it seems that everyone is happy. If there is one unlucky one, it is you. After all, as I can have other women, but you have no second choice.

Of course, you don’t have to be too sad. The prince of the empire cannot marry his true beloved daughter. How likely is it that you, who are from a famous family, will marry a wish-for-life man?"

Chen Yourong knew that Li Jundu was telling the truth. As the eldest daughter of the Shen clan, she married her and was destined to be the family who wanted her to marry, but she didn't want to obey her fate like this. Chen Yourong raised her head: "Your Highness, with your status, there will be countless ladies who are willing to become your princess, why choose me? As far as I know, you are not a lustful person..."

Li Jundu nodded: "Do you have someone you like? If so, I won't force you."

"No."

"You should say there is, and you say there is, and I will let you go." Li Jundu said.

Chen Yourong shook his head: "No, it's not, and......If I leave now, my grandfather will be very angry, and my father and mother will be scolded. My grandfather is in poor health. It's rare to see him as happy as he is today..."

Li Jundu understood what Chen Yourong meant. Chen Yourong raised his head and asked, "Your Highness, can I exchange a secret for something you promised me?"

"What's the matter?" Li Jundu asked.

Chen Yourong said: "I asked someone to take me home every evening, and I will pick me up the next day."

Li Junduo had some affection for Chen Yourong, who values ​​filial piety, and said, "I promised you that I will also ask someone to prepare a study room for you. You can study here during the day."

Chen Yourong never thought that Li Jundu was so easy to talk to, and asked in confusion: "Don't your Highness want to know the secret I told?"

Li Jundu shook his head: "I don't want to know."

But the more Chen Yourong saw Li Jundu like this, the more he felt unhappy. She pointed to the medicine bowl on Li Jundu's table and said, "Your Highness, if you pretend to be injured, you should put some real medicine out and put a bowl of black brown sugar water. Anyone who knows some medical principles will smell it."
