Chapter 445: Chapter 445 Don’t Let Me Wear the Green Hat (3)_1

Pei Qin was convinced now. In his previous life, he had also belonged to the wastrel crowd, probably just as ignorant and uneducated.

"I specialize in my own craft, and never learned any of those other things!" Shen Songming emphasized, then added almost resentfully, "Some people, like her, are into everything! Know how to do anything!"

"Then roll back to sleep!" Pei Qin shooed him away.

"Let me sit for a while longer, I don’t want to leave!" Shen Songming looked at her pleadingly, inching closer to Pei Qin.

Pei Qin reached out her hand towards him.

Seeing her about to grab him, Shen Songming sprang up, "I’m going, alright?!"

Pei Qin had only intended to swat at him lightly.

Shen Songming left with a bellyful of grievances and asked Lu Hao, who had escorted him, "Did she go out just now to check on me?"

Lu Hao looked at him deeply, "No!"

Shen Songming snorted in anger, "Aside from that face, what do you have to compete with me for a wife? Pei Qin isn’t someone who looks only at the face, or else she would have been seduced by me a long time ago."

Lu Hao showed his support for him; indeed, Pei Qin was very close to Shen Songming... Seeing the two of them talk, Lu Hao sometimes felt that even Pei Yuan and the others paled in comparison. So, he thought Shen Songming had a good chance but resolving the issues with the Shen family would be tough.

Shen Songming wasn’t sure who wanted to assassinate Pei Qin, but the person was definitely related to him or someone close to him had been bought off.

The next day, after washing the ’Scar’ off his face, he went to discuss matters with Pei Qin, "Would you tell me about magnifying glasses and telescopes, or should I go to the County Government Office?" He rushed over as soon as he could and had yet to stop by the County Government Office.

"Now that your face is presentable, you should head to the County Government Office!" Pei Qin got ready to head out.

"Take a look at my face. Can I really go out and see people like this?" Shen Songming thrust his face in front of her.

Pei Qin raised an eyebrow, "If you don’t want to go out and see people, should I add a few more punches?"

Shen Songming immediately withdrew his face, muttering, "I’ll go get the carriage ready."

Pei Qin followed him out and got on the carriage, then took out paper and pen to explain the principles of convex and concave lenses to him. She hadn’t played with this much, just tinkered with it. Whether it could be successfully made, she’d have to try slowly. She was familiar with mechanical watches, explained in great detail, but as for this speculative item, she hadn’t figured it out yet. She taught him to prepare it slowly; who knows, he might strike it lucky!

When they reached the outside of the County Government Office, the Government Officers upon seeing Shen Songming and Pei Qin, hurried to report their arrival.

Wu Dongsi had already taken out the case files, waiting for Shen Songming to come over and take a look, "This is as far as we’ve gotten. After Zhao Junchao and Zhang Shiqian confessed, we couldn’t get anything more out of them."

After looking over the files, Shen Songming’s gaze turned to Pei Qin with a hint of caution.

Wu Dongsi watched the two of them as Shen Songming sought Pei Qin’s opinion and looked towards her as well.

Pei Qin rolled her eyes and stood up, "Is there a sack? One that can cover a person?"

"Yes!" Shen Songming immediately nodded vigorously, looking at Wu Dongsi.

Wu Dongsi ordered someone to fetch a sack.

Shen Songming handed her the sack with a hey-hey, "Let me help you beat them up!"

Pei Qin took the sack and headed straight for the cells.

So she was going to beat people up in the cells!? Wu Dongsi twitched the corner of his mouth and instructed the guards to notify the jail in advance, "Help out with the beating if asked, otherwise stay clear." He figured that with Pei Qin’s fighting ability, she wouldn’t need any help.

The Prison Head and prison guards were quite insightful; seeing the two approach, they were very obliging. They asked if they were there to interrogate Zhao Junchao, Zhang Shiqian, and the three inmates, offering to help with the torture tools.

Shen Songming knew that Pei Qin always preferred to fight with her bare hands, so he had the Prison Head and several prison guards open up the cell doors and then withdraw.
