The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 109 It's... taking your pulse

Wei Zhao said calmly, "Everyone says that the capital is prosperous, and people outside are trying their best to squeeze in. Little do they know that those inside are trapped and unable to escape."

"The Duke of Shunguo's family has made great contributions, and my father, my grandfather, and the ancestors of the Wei family were all prominent figures, but they were not greedy."

I ended up in that position against my will.

Resigning from office is not a wise move.

Those who wield power are thorns in the side of emperors; but what if they have no power?
They became like ants that anyone could step on and crush to death.

Chi Yu didn't understand at the time.

Anyway, whatever the general says is right.

The generals of that time kept a low profile and did not reveal their talents.

But ever since the general secretly returned to the capital three months ago, his consciousness has gradually declined.

Then... he chose to end his own life.

Chi Yu had no idea what had happened. But he felt that that whole bunch of men surnamed Ying were inhuman! They all owed the general a debt!

All deserve to die!
Suppressing his emotions, he bowed to Yin Shen Shen and said, "Thank you, Fifth Prince."

Just before they were about to depart, a huge object appeared in the mourning hall.

Wei Zhao's white tiger had somehow sneaked in and was now squatting beside the coffin, eating the offerings.

Official: "This...this is outrageous! This is outrageous! The offerings were prepared by the general. How could it have been eaten?"

Wei Jiajun said, "It's alright."

"Our general dotes on Fu Meng the most; he always lets him eat at the table."

The offerings didn't taste good, and Fu Meng couldn't swallow them after taking a few bites.

It threw it away in disgust.

The offerings of fruit rolled pitifully on the ground several times.

Fu Meng thought for a moment, then picked it up again, walked towards the silent Xiao Huaiyan, and handed it to him.

Xiao Huaiyan: "I won't eat."

"Send it to the person in the coffin."

Fu Meng furiously pawed at the ground: "Roar!"

Xiao Huaiyan: "Oh, so the fruit you don't even want is unworthy of Wei Zhao, right? You think I'm just a garbage collector?"

Xiao Huaiyan was so angry he almost laughed.

But then I thought about who raised it, and it didn't seem so strange anymore. Just as annoying as Wei Zhao!
"What are you talking about? How could you possibly offer that?"

"So, Wei Zhao is too noble to eat, but I can? I've taken care of you before. You ungrateful wretch."

At this point, his voice softened.

He had assumed that Hu Zi had returned to the mountains after Wei Zhao's accident, since he hadn't seen Fu Meng before.

Seeing it again now, it would be a lie to say I'm not moved.

"So, you came looking for me too."

"But you can't let go?"

no.

Fu Meng didn't want to come either.

It only wanted to be by Wei Zhao's side.

I've been getting really irritable these past few days.

I stayed at the door of my new house for a long time last night.

They're about to climb over the wall to get in!
But it was assigned a task!

Just then, a guard rushed in from outside.

"Fifth Prince, something has happened."

These words put everyone on edge.

The area outside the post station was packed with people; could something have happened there?
The guard respectfully announced, "Sir Dong has encountered trouble. All ten of his fingers have been bitten off. It's unknown what kind of ferocious beast injured him; they've all been torn into pieces and are laid out on the ground..."

"They arranged the character '来' (lai)."

The officials looked at each other in bewilderment.

He subconsciously turned his gaze toward Fu Meng.

Fu Meng proudly puffed out his chest.

Yes, it did it!
Why are the characters arranged like this?

It was telling Mr. Dong that it would come again.

It is a tiger with only culture.

There are ten characters I can write!

Fu Meng flicked its tail and strolled out triumphantly.

Xiao Huaiyan: "A bunch of scoundrels, if something happens to them, so be it. Even if they die, they deserve to die. What's the big deal?"

At this moment, the Vice Minister of Justice stepped forward: "This humble official has something to report."

Ying Yin replied in a gentle tone, "Speak."

The Vice Minister of Justice said respectfully, "After being arrested yesterday, the Dong family has been unusually uncooperative, daring to claim they are innocent and demanding our release. The Fifth Prince may not know, but the Dong gentry are secretly trying to bribe me."

"He said that if I am willing to help him, I will let him fake his death or use all my connections to devise a plan for him. As long as his life is saved, he will be willing to offer all his money as a tribute."

That's quite intriguing.

A mere country gentleman, yet he speaks with such arrogance.

The Vice Minister of Justice came from the capital; what hasn't he seen? Would petty favors catch his eye? Why would he risk his life to protect someone?
It's probably not a small amount.

Ying Yin's expression darkened.

As they were talking, they heard screams and commotion outside the post station.

When those present realized that Fu Meng was not there, they all hurriedly went out.

Then they saw the enormous black and white creature slowly emerging from the post station.

It's not a good thing either.

As they passed by the benches outside, they arrogantly kicked them over.

The crowd screamed in terror.

"Tiger? How could there be a tiger?"

"It's coming, it's coming."

Some people retreated repeatedly, but fell and got hurt. As Fu Meng approached, they were so frightened that they trembled all over and screamed with their eyes tightly closed.

"Help! He's going to eat me!"

Everyone took off running; they were all barely able to save themselves, let alone him.

Then the man shouted again from behind.

"Ah ah ah ah ah."

Oh no, I must have been bitten on the arm or the leg.

A perfectly healthy person is about to die.

The next moment, the person was still shouting.

But its cries are very distorted.

"What...what is it doing?!"

Fu Meng pressed the fleshy pad onto the man's wrist on the ground.

Ying Yin and his group came out now.

Xiao Huaiyan's eyelids twitched when he saw what was happening in front of him.

"It looks like it's... taking your pulse."

Fu Meng was very studious.

I don't know whether he learned it from Wei Zhao or from Master Ge.

The man trembled: "Why...why?"

"Because you look almost fainting."

man:……

But I was scared!
How could it possibly have the nerve to do that?

The scene before him was absurd, so Ying Yin decided to first appease the people: "Please do not panic, everyone. These are General Wei's pets. They are just a bit unruly, but they will not harm anyone."

The fleeing crowd turned around, their hearts pounding. They saw a black and white tiger, looking quite menacing, kick the man on the ground.

Its strength is not significant.

Yes, it doesn't seem heavy to it.

The man cried out in anguish, "Ah!"

Xiao Huaiyan: "Extend your other hand to him."

Xiao Huaiyan reminded him expressionlessly, "It needs to switch hands to take the pulse."

The man's eyes rolled back in his head, terrified, and he pleaded urgently, "Sir, sir, could you please pull him away?"

No.

Fu Meng, that tiger, is incredibly stubborn and always sees things through to the end. He won't listen to anyone except the one who's dead.

at last……

Fu Meng pressed both hands together with satisfaction.

Only then did he get up from the man.

But it did something else.

She snatched the money pouch from the man's waist. Opening it, she found only four coins inside.

I'm so poor.

Fu Meng kindly threw it back.

They brazenly snatched the man's meat bun.

Xiao Huaiyan chuckled: "Oh, so this is for collecting consultation fees."
