Chapter 438 Bad News

"Hey, why did you let the doctor go?" When Du came out of the hall, he happened to see Dr. Huang leave, so he looked at Su Jin in shock.

"Don't worry, Auntie Shi's sister's illness is covered by Su Jin." Su Jin smiled at Du confidently, and then whispered a few words in Chunlan's ear.

Chunlan showed a look of surprise on her face, and Xiang Su Jinfu was covered in a hurry and left hurriedly.

After explaining Chunlan, Su Jin returned to the inner room under Du's surprised gaze. She asked all the maids in the room to leave, and then sat down by the bed. Shi Shi's expression suddenly seemed a little nervous.

"Silly sister, why do you torture yourself like this!" Su Jin reached out and pulled Shi Shi's long hair that was a little scattered on his forehead, and said quietly, "If your elder brother knew you were like this, he would definitely feel heartbroken."

"Madam, I..." Shi Shi's expression became extremely embarrassed when she heard this, and she wanted to explain what she wanted.

"It's this time, my sister is still calling me sister's wife?" Before Shi Shi finished speaking, Su Jin interrupted her and smiled slightly at her.

"I..." Shi Shi's cheeks suddenly turned red. She understood what Su Jin meant, but why did she have the nerve to call her "sister", otherwise she should also call Su Jin "sister".

"Sister, do you know why your elder brother didn't try to keep you in the Tan Mansion?" Su Jin asked calmly when he saw this.

Upon hearing this, Shi Shi's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, she lowered her head and remained silent. Although she took the initiative to ask for leaving Tan's mansion, Tan Zong didn't even say a word to keep, which really hurt her heart.

Sad women are most likely to think randomly. In Shi Shi's opinion, the reason why Tan Zong did not retain him was entirely because of the upcoming Su Jin. Su Jin is one of the three famous Jinling masters and is gorgeous in Jiangnan. He can't compare himself with Su Jin at all.

In other words, Tan Zong did not take her to heart at all, and Shi Shi felt extremely disappointed and depressed, and she was confused and unable to think about food and food, which led to a serious illness.

"Sister, your elder brother eliminated his accomplices in Yangzhou and Suzhou in Bi Shijie. Although he made great contributions, he also offended the enemy hidden in the dark and established an enemy for himself." Su Jin knew that he had hit Shi Shi's mind and couldn't help but sigh, "The other party can establish such a huge secret system in Yangzhou and Suzhou, and his strength is naturally extraordinary. Since your elder brother has provoked them, he will be plotted by them at any time. He doesn't want you to be involved, so he will let you leave the Tan Mansion."

"Brother is protecting me?" Shi Shi couldn't help but raise her head and look at Su Jin in surprise. She was hurt by love, and her heart was already in a mess. How could she think so much?

"You have been with your elder brother for so long. Do you think your elder brother is the kind of kind person who is kind?" Su Jin smiled slightly and asked Shi Shi.

Shi Shi was stunned at first, then a look of annoyance appeared on her face. She found that she was so stupid that she didn't realize that Tan Zong was protecting herself and had been frivolous for so many days.

"Sister, my sister has asked Chunlan to inform your elder brother, and she said that her sister is in danger. My sister only needs to do what her elder brother said, and she will naturally know what your elder brother is thinking." Seeing this, Su Jin smiled slightly and took Shi Shi's hand.

Shi Shi hesitated for a moment, nodded with a blushing face, and agreed. If she didn't know the truth from Tan Zong, she wouldn't feel at ease no matter what.

In the Yangzhou Prefecture Prison, a group of soldiers wearing helmets and armor were guarding the door.

The prison is now imprisoned by Bi Shijie's party members in Suzhou and Yangzhou, guarded by the city defense force, and is heavily guarded.

A carriage rushed over and stopped in front of the prison door with a rattle. Before the car could stop, Chunlan hurriedly jumped out of the car and walked quickly towards the prison door.

"Don't get close to the prison area, idle people should wait." Before Chunlan could approach the prison door, a Shi Chang, who was guarding the door, stood up and stopped her.

"I am Chunlan, the maid of the Qin envoy. I'm sorry to let this elder brother go in and report that my girl Shi is seriously ill and in danger." Seeing this, Chunlan took out an inch of silver from her waist and stuffed it into the hand of the eldest son, and said anxiously.

"Miss, don't worry, I'll go in and report now." The Shi Chang heard this, and quickly handed the silver back to Chunlan, turned around and walked into the prison. If Chunlan hadn't looked for Lord Qin, then he really wanted to earn the two taels of silver.

The reason why he dared not to earn Tan Zong's silver was very simple. Tan Zong was not only a lord Qin, but more importantly, he did what he said and fulfilled his promise in the government office that night and arranged the soldiers who were disabled and dead in the blood battle with Zhongyi Hall. It was a kind and righteous person, and enjoyed a high reputation among the soldiers. If he received the silver, he would not want to keep going in the military camp.

Tan Zong was interrogating a middle-aged man from Suzhou City in the punishment room. The middle-aged man had been to Lingnan for missions and had contacted people in the Lingnan organization. He wanted to obtain as detailed information as possible about the organization where Bishijie was located in Lingnan.

Zhou Dunran was sitting aside at the jury. He specialized in "bad work". When he met those hard-working elements who were hard-working and refused to honestly explain, he "relaxed the bones" for him, let him change his mind and explain the problem honestly.

The middle-aged man was covered in bruises and was out of shape at this time. He held on for a long time. Later, he could not bear Zhou Dunran's torture. He obediently explained what he knew and gave several contact points in Lingnan.

"Sir Qin, there is a girl named Chunlan outside looking for you, saying that Miss Shi Shi was seriously ill and was in danger." Just as a big man was recording a confession for the middle-aged man in an orderly manner, the prison chief Tong Shiqing suddenly pushed the door and walked in, whispering in Tan Zong's ear.

"What?" Tan Zong's face changed immediately when he heard this, and he stood up suddenly, and asked Tong Shiqing expressionlessly, "What did you say just now?"

When Tan Zong was together like this, the people in the torture room immediately looked over, and there was silence around him.

"My envoy, Miss Chunlan said that Miss Shi Shi was seriously ill and was in danger." Tong Shiqing had defected to Tan Zong, so she knew very well about the people and things in Tan's house. She knew that Shi Shi had a different relationship with Tan Zong, so she whispered again.

"Master Zhou, you should first examine it. I have family matters to deal with." Tan Zong was stunned for a moment, then walked out the door, and arched his hand to Zhou Dunran, who was sitting aside.

"Relieve that Lord Qin, let me leave it to Zhou." Zhou Dunran heard what Tong Shiqing said earlier this time. He had been in Yangzhou City for so long, so he naturally knew the relationship between Tan Zong and Shi Shi, so he stood up and said to Tan Zong in a deep voice.

Tan Zongfeng left the prison in a hurry, looked at Chunlan, who was standing anxiously at the door, untied a horse on the stake next to him, turned over the horse, and clamped his legs and a belly. The horse galloped towards the house where Shi Shi was.

"Hurry up, protect the envoy Qin!" When Qin Yu was chasing out of the prison, he happened to see Tan Zong riding a horse and running past the door. So he shouted at the guards behind him, unveiled the flattery on the horse stake and chased him quickly.

Looking at Tan Zong who was leaving, Chunlan suddenly felt relieved. She had thought that Tan Zong had no Shi Shi in her heart. Now it seems that Shi Shi has a heavy position in Tan Zong's heart, otherwise Tan Zong would not have been so nervous.

Tan Zong knew Shi Shi's residence, but he had never been there. First, he was busy these days, and second, he wanted to gradually alienate Shi Shi, because since he had tested the behind-the-scenes commander at Bishi, he knew that he had caused a big trouble and he didn't want Shi Shi because something happened to him.

"Official affairs, do it, go away." Qin Yu and others' riding skills were excellent, and soon caught up with Tan Zong, shouting at the crowd in front behind Tan Zong.

The pedestrians on the street gave in to the sides. Some people had already recognized Tan Zong and secretly discussed, guessing that something big happened, but even Qin Shi's master was alarmed.

After a while, Tan Zong finally arrived at Shi's house. From afar, he saw several servants in Shi's house hanging white silk on the plaque in front of the door, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Shi Shi!" When the horse came to the gate of the mansion, Tan Zong jumped straight from the horse's back, ran in quickly, shouting loudly, and Qin Yu and others hurriedly followed behind him.

The maids and servants in the yard were also hanging white silks on the eaves. After hearing the sound, they looked at Tan Zong together.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Tan Zong couldn't help but clench his fists tightly. He didn't even bother to think about it, grabbed a servant and asked Shi Shi's room, and ran straight to the backyard.

The servant stood there, grinning at the wrist that was grabbed by Tan Zong, with bruises on his wrist. It seemed that Tan Zong had used force unknowingly.

Not long after running, Tan Zong heard a cry coming from a courtyard in front of him, and that courtyard was where Shi Shi lived, which made Tan Zong, who looked cold, subconsciously speed up his pace.

After entering the courtyard where crying sounds came, Tan Zong saw many maids and servants gathered in the hall, kneeling on the ground and crying, his heart suddenly became cold, and a look of pain appeared on his face, so he slowed down and walked into the hall with heavy steps.

Seeing that Tan Zong came, the maids and servants kneeling in the hall immediately made way. Tan Zong stopped in front of the inner room, let out a deep breath, and then reached out and lifted the curtain.

"My miserable daughter, I have only been a few good days. Why did you leave just by saying that? I'm so old that I'm so old that I still have to send a black-haired man to a black-haired man. How do you let me face your dead sister?" Only Xia Ju and Du Shi were sitting beside the bed, holding Shi Shi's hand, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, crying bitterly, crying so hard that he burst into tears, looking extremely sad. Xia Ju was with her side and shed tears silently.

"Young Master!" Xia Ju looked up and saw Tan Zong standing at the door. She walked forward and shouted in the rain.

"What disease did she have?" Tan Zong stared at Shi Shi, who was haggard on the bed, and his face showed a painful look. He never expected that the night when Shi Shi told him that he was moving out of Tan's mansion would be the time for the two to say goodbye.

"The girl accidentally suffered from a cold after moving here. She hired many doctors and was helpless." Xia Ju wiped the tears from her cheeks and looked at Tan Zong with tears in her eyes.

"Why don't you tell me?" Tan Zong tried hard to suppress his excitement and looked at Xia Ju coldly.

"The girl said, the young master is busy with the important matters of the court, so we won't let us tell you." This was the first time Xia Ju saw Tan Zong's cold eyes, and couldn't help but have a cold war and said sobbing.

"The important matters of the court?" Tan Zong heard this, smiled bitterly and shook his head, and looked at Shi Shi. He walked over and muttered to himself, "Silly girl, you always think about your elder brother, have you ever thought that you are more important in your elder brother's heart than those things in the imperial court."

"Auntie, I want to stay alone with Shi Shi for a while." After coming to the bed, Tan Zong glanced at Shi Shi and said to Du, who was sitting there sadly.

"My miserable child..." Du raised his head and looked at Tan Zong. With Xia Ju's support, he left with a pounding chest and stamping his feet. Soon there were only two people left in the room.

The moment he walked out of the inner room, Du, who was extremely sad, turned his head and looked at Tan Zong who was standing beside the bed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that was indeliberate.

Tan Zong slowly sat down beside the bed, reached out and gently stroked Shi Shi's pale cheeks, his eyes became a little rosy, and the little bits of life with Shi Shi in the past flashed in his mind like a movie.

It was not until this moment that Tan Zong suddenly realized that Shi Shi had occupied a very important position in his heart without realizing it.

"Shi Shi, everyone blames Big Brother. If Big Brother asked you to stay at that time, you wouldn't have typhoid fever. Big Brother hurt you." After a moment, Tan Zong let out a deep breath, held Shi Shi's hand, and said with a sad expression, "Do you know, Big Brother wanted to keep you at that time, but Big Brother couldn't do this, because Big Brother offended a very terrible person and would be killed by that person's plot at any time. Big Brother didn't want you to get involved, so he wanted to alienate you, but who knew it had made a big mistake today."

"Do you remember the situation when we first met at Ruyi Gambling? The eldest brother bet with Xie Laohei in order to approach the grain merchants to check the traces of the Japanese bandits. It was you who helped the eldest brother win that crucial game, which made the eldest brother enter the grain merchants' chamber of commerce in one fell swoop." Tan Zong stared at Shi Shi, his tone full of regret, "If you give your eldest brother another chance, the eldest brother would never bet with Xie Laohei. Without those gambling games that night, your life would not be disrupted by the appearance of the eldest brother."

"You have done too much for your elder brother. I owe you too much. If there is a next life, I will do anything for you." Tan Zong recalled Shi Shi's hard work to manage the industries of the Tan family and disguised himself as a man to go to the head of the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce for the election. He became more and more excited. He couldn't help but press Shi Shi's hand on his face and said emotionally.

As he said that, a drop of tears slid from Tan Zong's eyes and fell on Shi Shi's cheek with a clatter.
