“Master Jia, aren’t you treating me like an outsider? With our relationship, there’s no need to disturb His Majesty. Hehe, it’s not to the extent.”

Ye Qingge had seen people change their attitudes faster than flipping through a book, but this was the first time he had seen someone change so quickly.

It had to be said that there were talents in the officials.

Ye Qingge looked at Zhou Feiren, who had just straightened his neck earlier and looked like he wasn’t afraid of anyone. At this moment, he was smiling obsequiously.

There were only two big words in his heart—convinced.

“Then Deputy Commander Zhou, how much do you think we should pay for these tenants?”

Jia Jingzhong still looked like a hoodlum. He did not give Zhou Feiren a good attitude just because he softened his attitude.

“Of course, it’s up to you. It’s up to you.”

Zhou Feiran smiled but cursed in his heart.

This was the first time he had encountered such an unruly person in his many years as an official. However, the General Zhanbei Estate was famous for having a lot of people who were unruly.

Fortunately, Da Xiao only had one such General. Otherwise, they would not be able to take it.

He could only blame his bad luck for meeting a nosy Young brat today.

He couldn’t help but glare at Ye Qingge, his eyes filled with poison.

Coincidentally, he met Ye Qingge’s gaze and had no choice but to nod with a smile.

Oh? Did he hate me now?

But it didn’t matter. There were too many people who hated her. Who did he think he was?

“Deputy Commander Zhou, that’s not right. How can we set the price? Wouldn’t we be forcing you to buy and sell? At that time, if you raise objections against us, we’ll suffer.”

Jia Jingzhong took another sip of tea and raised his eyebrows.

“However, the tenants in your residence are either women who can’t work or children who can’t eat or do work. Not only can’t they do anything when we buy them, but we also have to provide for them. It’s really a huge loss. However, Ge’er is kind-hearted and insists on buying them. If I say we should buy them, so be it. It’s fine to spend a tael of silver to do a good deed.”

Ye Qingge was really impressed by Jia Jingzhong.

She originally thought that she would have to spend at least a hundred taels of silver to redeem the people today, but she did not expect Master Jia to be even more ruthless.

He directly gave him one tael!

This was really a profiteer who had been delayed by the general!

Compared to this, she was still short-tempered!

It seemed like he had to learn more from the old seniors in the future.

“One… one tael?”

The flesh on Zhou Feiren’s face was bulging. This Jia Jingzhong had really gone too far.

“Jia Jingzhong, what if I don’t sell it today?”

It seemed that Zhou Feiren was angry that he had called him by his full name.

But who was Jia Jingzhong? He had been in business for a long time… on the battlefield.

When he heard this, he chuckled and looked at Ye Qingge. “Ge’er, do you still have the death exemption medallion that your foster father gave you? Once Ge’er enters the palace, just hand the medallion to the Emperor and ask for a decree from the three divisions to investigate thoroughly.”

“Yes!”

Ye Qingge stood up and cupped her fists, accepting the order.

Zhou Feiren was stunned when he heard this. The anger he had just felt was all gone now. He asked tentatively, “The death-exemption medal? Is it the one for Commander Li?”

Jia Jingzhong did not even look at him. He continued to drink his tea with his head lowered as if he could not be bothered by him.

On the other hand, Ye Qingge fished out the death exemption medallion from her bosom and answered, “Yes.”

Zhou Feiren wanted to go forward and see what was going on, but that kid was so petty that she took it back.

“Commander Li really feels sorry for his adopted son.”

Zhou Feiren had no choice but to seriously sized up Li Da’s adopted son in front of him.

He was not tall, but his bearing was outstanding. His eyes were bright, and it was obvious that he was not a rash person.

The servants of the Zhou Mansion were not idlers. They all had some ability. He had defeated a group of people alone and had some ability.

However, he was still unconvinced that he had suffered such a huge loss.

He could not meet the emperor, but the three divisions would interrogate him.

The Ministry of Justice would probably be the first to jump out and investigate everything that had happened to him over the years.

None of the officials of the Great Xiao Dynasty were clean. If they did not investigate, nothing would happen, but if they did, there would be a huge deal.

“Master Jia, it’s not that I don’t want to give you face, but my servant has already been injured by this young master. I can’t have an explanation, right?”

As Zhou Feiren spoke, his attitude softened again. He was really like a balloon. He was hard and soft at the same time.

“Deputy… Commander Zhou, don’t accuse me wrongly. That servant’s arm isn’t broken. Call him over and I’ll put him back.”

Ye Qingge emphasized the word ‘deputy’. As expected, he raised his eyebrows.

‘Not bad, not bad. I’ll be happy if you’re angry.’

“Hmph, someone, bring my servant up.”

As Zhou Feiren spoke, he flicked his sleeves. He had brought the servant with him. His goal was to use him as a bargaining chip when negotiating.

That arm was clearly broken. He wanted to see how this little kid would embarrass himself.

The servants of the Zhou Mansion had left in a hurry, so they naturally didn’t see Ye Qingge heal the child’s arm.

Not long after, the servant was helped in. He was in so much pain that his expression was ferocious.

After paying his respects to Jia Jingzhong, he stood in the middle of the hall. He hated Ye Qingge to death, but he didn’t dare to show it now.

“Does it hurt?”

Ye Qingge walked around the servant with her hands behind her back. The question she asked was infuriating.

‘Do you want to try and see if it hurts?’

“It’s good that it hurts. Remember, don’t bully others next time, because people have to pay back when they come out to the world.”

After saying that, Brother Yeqing slowly pulled the servant’s arm and pushed him up bit by bit.

The servant was in so much pain that he almost fainted. Zhou Feiren’s anger soared.

This kid was clearly torturing people, or rather, slapping himself in the face.

How could the bones be reconnected like this? They were all used to recuperate and use ointment.

If she did this, he would probably be a cripple in the future.

Jia Jingzhong also put down his teacup. Although he didn’t say anything, he didn’t really agree with Ye Qingge’s actions.

If she was angry, she could just break the servant’s leg. Why waste time on his arm?

When Ye Qingge saw that the servant was almost done with the pain, she suddenly exerted force.

There was a click.

Then, Ye Qingge went around to the other side. Before he could react, she grabbed his arm and exerted more strength.

Another click.

The servant closed his eyes and thought to himself, “It’s over. Did I break another two sections?”

But in the next moment, he suddenly felt that it didn’t hurt anymore.

He tried to move, but he could actually move.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his fingers in disbelief. Then, he was dumbfounded.

Zhou Feiren and Jia Jingzhong were also dumbfounded.

This kid actually knew how to reconnect bones?

This girl actually knew how to reconnect bones?

This thought flashed through their minds at the same time, but Jia Jingzhong’s gender was more accurate.

Jia Jingzhong put down his teacup and walked to the servant. He pulled his arm to take a look.

As expected, it was no longer hanging on his shoulder. He asked the servant to try moving it, and the servants tried.

Jia Jingzhong was overjoyed, and a smile bloomed on his face. This girl was really hiding something!

“Aiyo, Ge’er, where did you learn this skill from? Quick, tell me.”

Ye Qingge smiled and didn’t reply immediately. Jia Jingzhong then remembered that there was an uninvited guest.

“I say, Deputy Commander Zhou, your servant is fine. It’s already lunchtime. Your Madam probably wants you to go home for lunch, right?”
