The crowd dispersed one after another, and Shangguan Wanning also took Lutong to return to the carriage.
"Girl, please stay."
The man rushed over and bowed his hand and bowed. "I'm here to thank the girl for helping her. I just don't know... how much money should I give to the girl to pay the medical fee?"
Shangguan Wanning looked at the awakened girl, smiled and said, "You have already given the medical fee."
Huo Gang was stunned, puzzled. "Have you given it?"
"No," Shangguan Wanning smiled, "When you bravely saved others in the teahouse, you had already given the medical treatment money in advance. Brother Huo's chivalrous heart, this world should be a cycle of reincarnation with good rewards."
Huo Gang's expression was a little excited, his lips trembled slightly. "No matter what, thank you for your kind help."
Shangguan Wanning winked Lutong, who took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it over.
"Although your sister is awake, it takes some time to condition and also needs to repair her body..."
"No, I can't accept the money without merit. I can't take the girl's money."
Shangguan Wanning could see that Huo Gang was a person with strong self-esteem and principle.
"Brother Huo misunderstood. The ten taels of silver were not given to you, but to me. I need to pay it back."
Huo Gang's heart moved slightly.
He looked at his sister, and he knew in his heart that his sister would be frail and sick and plagued by illness after he had been wandering around the world for a long time.
He hesitated for a while and silently took the money.
Shangguan Wanning took off the hairpin on her head and handed it over, saying, "I believe in Brother Huo's character. In the future, if you raise money or have something else to do, you need my help, so you will take the hairpin to the prime minister.
Find a housekeeper in the house.”
Prime Minister's Mansion?
Only then did Huo Gang realize that he had met a noble man.
"Okay. Please rest assured, my sister, I will definitely return the money."
Shangguan Wanning nodded and walked towards the carriage with Lutong.
"Miss, why do you still give them the hairpin?" Lutong felt a little distressed. You should know that the hairpin was given by Zheng Binghong on Shangguan Wanning's birthday. "Aren't you afraid that he will sell it?"
If you take it away, you can buy a courtyard house in a good location in the capital.
"I think this Huo Gang is definitely not something in the pool."
Shangguan Wanning himself didn't understand, it was just a strong feeling.
"If he really sells his hairpin, just think... I have a bad attitude and deserve it."
She had no intention of thinking about Huo Gang and his sister again. She was just worried that she didn't know how Mu Jingrui was doing now.
In the dark water prison, the air was humid and stuffy, and there was silence around it. Only the ticking sound of water fell, gently patting the ground.
Mu Jingrui's hands and feet were handcuffed by iron chains. He tried many times but could not condense his true energy.
He knew he was poisoned.
Now, he cannot use his power to force poison, nor can he use his internal force to break the chain.
Outside the water prison door, Jiang Yi looked at the struggling Mu Jingrui with his eyes fixed, with a touch of playful smile in his sinister eyes.
"Mr. Jiang, there is something that my subordinates can't understand no matter how they think about it."
Jiang Yi was in a good mood and glanced at his subordinates, with his eyebrows slightly raised. "Do you think it's strange, why didn't the superior kill Mu Jingrui directly?"
The subordinates smiled and quickly flattered.
"Mr. Jiang, you are worthy of being the living Zhuge Liang in our Soul-Surveying Hall. No matter what my subordinates are thinking, they can't escape your ignition eyes."
Jiang Yi did not answer, but just smiled meaningfully.
In fact, he hasn't guessed it yet.
"who?"
Jiang Yi saw a black shadow in the corner, and he scolded him and saw Chu Xiaolian walking slowly.
He immediately changed his face.
"So it's the master who came."
Chu Xiaolian ignored it, but walked to the door and looked inside.
Mu Jingrui was hit by the soft muscles and could not use his skills at all. It was almost impossible to escape by himself.
"The master of the hall is worried, so he came to inspect?"
"It took me so much effort to complete the task assigned by the superiors, so I was naturally worried about handing him over to the waste to watch."
Jiang Yi's face changed slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Are the master of the hall worried that Mu Jingrui will run away? You can rest assured, I promise, he can't run away."
"Why do you guarantee it?"
Jiang Yi smiled coldly, opened the door of the water prison and walked in.
He picked up a whip from the rack, dipped it in chili water, and then whipped Mu Jingrui for more than ten whips.
The heart-wrenching pain made Mu Jingrui wake up instantly.
He raised his eyes and stared at Jiang Yi fiercely.
"The common people say that you are the new generation of war gods, and your achievements will definitely surpass your father in the future. But according to my opinion..."
Jiang Yi ignored Mu Jingrui's fierce eyes and walked to him and grabbed his chin. "You are not as good as a dog now."
Even if his family was confiscated and his family was exterminated, Mu Jingrui had never suffered such humiliation.
"Don't accept it?" Jiang Yi was very angry. He just couldn't stand Mu Jingrui's proud look.
He asked him to bow his head and bow his head to him.
Jiang Yi pushed Mu Jingrui away, took out his dagger and roasted it red on the fire, and walked towards Mu Jingrui step by step.
"If you beg me for mercy now, kneel down and kowtow three times, I will spare you. Otherwise... I will break your tendons and let you spend all your martial arts. Even if you go out in the future, you will be a waste."
Mu Jingrui raised his head and intersected Jiang Yi's gaze, but he still looked down with a condescending attitude.
This completely angered Jiang Yi.
He was blinded by anger, completely forgot what he said, and raised his dagger and stabbed Mu Jingrui's wrist.
A figure flashed past, and a roundabout kicked off the dagger in Jiang Yi's hand.
Before Jiang Yi could dodge, he immediately burst into anger when he saw Chu Xiaolian blocking Mu Jingrui.
"What? Want to protect him?" Jiang Yi said sarcastically, "A woman's heart is really a needle under the sea. It's you who betrayed him, and it's you who want to protect him now? Do you think he will be grateful to you?"
Chu Xiaolian knew that with Mu Jingrui's intelligence and wit, it would not take too long to wake up and see through her plan.
But even so, she didn't want to appear in front of Mu Jingrui unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Did I use it to ask him to be grateful to me?" Chu Xiaolian turned her back to Mu Jingrui, and she didn't even dare to look at him. "I just remind you not to forget the master's explanation."
After all, Jiang Yi still had some taboos, so he smiled coldly and left with his sleeves.
The water prison calmed down again, and Chu Xiaolian felt a chill on her back.
"Jianghu... is just like this intrigue... I can't help myself..."
Chu Xiaolian wanted to explain to herself, but after she finished speaking, she was silent for a while, but she didn't get a response from Mu Jingrui.
She mustered up the courage to turn around and found that Mu Jingrui had fainted.
She looked at the bloody wound on Mu Jingrui's body, choked and held back tears, and turned around and left.
