Barging into the Pei residence with 100 men

  After Zhen Ming's bitter departure, the house was quiet.

  Liu Ermei broke the silence first, turning her head to ask Liu Wuzhou: "Brother, why don't you quickly order someone to catch him back? If he's not handed over to the Salt Gang within three days, the people from the Salt Gang won't let it go easily."

  Wei Chi Jing De sighed on the side: "In my opinion, we don't need to hand him over to the Salt Gang. Zhen Ming will find his way there himself. I think he's deeply infatuated with that Tofu Siren. If he doesn't drink a bowl of soy milk every day, he'll be listless all day long. This is something everyone in the blacksmith shop knows."

  The burly man's face flashed a strange expression, which quickly disappeared, and he turned to look at Liu Ermei, who was somewhat flustered, and asked in a deep voice: "Ermei, don't you have anything to say to me?"

  Liu Ermei suddenly shouted loudly: "What are you talking about? What's there to say, is it true that I sold her out to those people from the Salt Gang? What qualifications do you have to scold me now? You can risk exposing your identity for her and rush into the Luohu branch of the Salt Gang. If something happens to you, have you thought about what I'll do?"

  "Hmph! The mere Luhe Branch is no match for me."

  Liu Ermei said sourly: "Song Ye is really brave, for a woman, he can take on the entire Luo River branch alone and emerge unscathed. Now that you know where she is, why not directly go to the Salt Gang and take down the whole gang? Song Ye is the number one martial arts champion of Great Sui, how could he put a small salt gang in his eyes?"

  Liu Ermei was jealous, and instantly the whole house was filled with vinegar smell, and the people around her wisely walked out of the house.

  "You can't leave, let me reason with you!"

  The tall and sturdy man looked embarrassed and said: "Second sister, let's talk about our matter in private!"

  "I just want them to evaluate reason. You say, are you still having feelings for her, wanting to bring her back home, making her your lovely wife and concubine in your dreams?"

  "What are you thinking about again? We've been married for three years and you still don't trust me?"

  "I don't believe you, what did you say when you married me? You said that in your eyes, I'm a hundred times, a thousand times more beautiful than her. But now I know, how can I compare to her? Ah, her skin is as tender as tofu, her figure is slender and curvy, her voice is sweet enough to lure down the birds from the sky, all the men in Luoyang are enchanted by her, don't you regret marrying me at all?"

  "No regrets."

  "Then go and kill her for me, prove it to me."

  "Second sister, this is unreasonable..."

  "I knew you'd hesitate, if you can't bear it, I'll help you finish him off!"

  "Don't think too much about it, after all, she took care of my father for so many years and has done a great service to the Song family."

  "Conscience tells you that she has a favor for you, is it heavier than the favor I have for you? Choose between her and me."

  "Am I not by your side?"

  "Hum, people may be with me, but their hearts aren't necessarily here!"

  "Ah!" The burly man was momentarily speechless, staring at Liu Ermei for a while before sighing and turning to walk towards the door.

  "Where are you going! Come back to me!"

  The tall and strong man pretended not to hear and continued walking forward with big strides.

  "If you have the ability, don't come back for this lifetime! You heartless person, if it wasn't for me saving you from the brink of death and nursing you back to health with meticulous care, who would you be today? I didn't even mind that you already had a wife and married me instead. But now, my kindness has been repaid by your betrayal... I'd rather die..."

  Liu Ermei suddenly changed into a completely different person, wailing and throwing a tantrum, rolling all over the floor, and no one could persuade her to stop.

  "My heart is in so much pain, I'd rather just die already. No one cares about me anyway, he only cares about his own goose. Look at the knife wounds on my back, who did I get them for? He doesn't even have a little bit of concern for me. You all still call him Brother Song, but in the end, he's not one of us. I've dedicated myself to him wholeheartedly, willing to give up my life for him, but it can't move his stone-cold heart... Waaahhh... Why is my life so miserable?! Don't stop me, let me just die already and be done with it..."

  Liu Ermei brought out the old accounts one by one, and the people around her listened with strange expressions. They had actually heard these things less than ten times before, but every time the couple quarreled, Liu Ermei would use this trick, which always had an amazing effect.

  As expected, the tall man's footsteps gradually slowed down. Liu Ermei let out a cry and his footsteps hesitated for a moment. Before he even reached the door, he stopped in his tracks, sighed, turned around, and returned to Liu Ermei's side, squatting down to hold her in his arms.

  "Second sister, what's wrong with you again?"

  "You heartless man, aren't you leaving? If it weren't for the fact that you still have her in your heart, why would you care about whether she's dead or alive? If dying could make you feel pain, I'd die right now to show you!" Liu Ermei cried and made a scene, refusing to give up.

  The burly man looked like a defeated rooster, hanging his proud head: "I'm not leaving."

  Liu Ermei immediately turned her tears into laughter and wiped away her tears: "Will you still lose your temper and blame me in the future?"

  "I'm done."

  "I want you to carry me back to the room."

  A burly man looked embarrassed: "So many people are watching, give me some face."

  "You're my husband, what can they say?"

  The burly man turned his head to look at the busy people who had turned away, but on his face was a painful expression of his subordinate, he sighed and picked up Liu Ermei in a bear hug, walking towards their room.

  Everyone watched as the two of them left, all smiling and saying: "It seems that Song Er Ge will not be able to escape from Er Jie's palm for this lifetime."

  Liu Wuzhou completely ignored the flirting and bickering between the two, his mind preoccupied with Zhen's bitter expression when she left, and the gaze she gave him. For some reason, he felt a chill run down his spine, a feeling he had never experienced before, not even when facing thousands of soldiers. Yet, this slender young man somehow inspired a hint of apprehension in him.

  "Wait, send one of your best men with him!"

  ……

  Bai Fu's bamboo forest in Pei Qian's residence.

  Pei Qian lay on the bed, shouting loudly: "Bring that little slut to my room! And find me a dozen or so brothers, strong and ugly ones, with thick penises, I want to see that little slut being fucked to death by men!"

  "Second Master, the boss has given orders that you are not allowed to touch that woman until the person who hurt you is caught."

  "Cut the nonsense! If you want to go, then just go!"

  Just as Pei Qian was throwing a tantrum and the servants were at a loss, the door opened and Pei Qian Tong walked in from outside with a doctor carrying a medicine box on his back.

  It was Sun Langzhong who had been captured in the Pei Mansion for several days.

  Three days ago, Pei Qian Tong sent someone to set fire to Sun Langzhong's thatched cottage and brought Sun Langzhong back. He was locked in the dungeon of the mansion without being dealt with. These past few days he went into the palace to deal with matters related to the Emperor's eastern tour. Only today did he return to the mansion, whereupon he heard those incompetent doctors who were locked up in prison recognize that Sun Langzhong was actually the Sun Simiao he had been searching for. They hastily brought Sun Langzhong out of prison to have him examined by Pei Qian Tong.

  "Second brother, why are you throwing a tantrum again? Guess who I've brought for you?...... Mr. Sun, sorry to trouble you."

  Sun Langzhong walked to the bedside, gave Pei Qian a careful examination, opened the medicine box, took out a package of golden needles, and inserted dozens of them into Pei Qian's body.

  Half a time later, Pei Qian let out a mournful cry, and Sun Langzhong pulled out the golden needle and put it back in its case.

  "Doctor Sun, how is it? Can my brother's injury be cured?"

  "Alas, the wound is too severe, I am also powerless."

  "Then go die for me!" Pei Qiantong's palm, covered in thick calluses, rose and slapped down on Sun Lang's forehead.

  At this time, a guard suddenly rushed in at the door, his face panicked: "Master, Zhen Ming has broken in from the front gate!"

  Pei Qiantong's palm stopped on Sun Langzhong's forehead, a cruel smile spreading across his face: "Finally arrived! I've been waiting for him for three days! Thought he dared to challenge the Luhe branch, but didn't have the guts to come and ask for his woman back. Take this quack doctor away! Wait until we catch Zhen Mingsu, and deal with them together."

  Several guards came up and took Sun Langzhong away.
