Wang Tianhe had been at home until the fourth watch and there was still no news. Just when he was wondering, his family suddenly came to report, "Master, Team Leader Li of Shuntian Prefecture is here."
"Huh?!" Wang Tianhe was stunned, "What is he doing here?"
As the boss of Team Three of Shuntian Mansion, Bantou Li has a status similar to that of the captain of the modern criminal police team. Although he has some influence, he has no contact with him and has no idea what the late night visit is about.
"He said he has something urgent to tell you, and it's very important. If you don't listen, you will regret it for the rest of your life." The family member explained.
"What nonsense!" Wang Tianhe said unhappily upon hearing this.
But after thinking about it, he still ordered his family to invite Team Leader Li in.
He would like to see what medicine Bantou Li sells in his gourd.
"Master Wang, I'd like to give you my regards." Team Leader Li came in and said a thousand words, then smiled and said, "It's so late, you haven't rested yet?"
"Not yet. As people get older, they sleep less." Wang Tianhe waved his hand and said, "Boss Li, what's the matter with your late night visit?"
"Of course there is something, it's a big deal." Bantou Li smiled, but then fell silent.
Wang Tianhe was stunned for a moment, blinked, and then sneered, "After all, if the news is really big, I will definitely reward you a lot."
"Mr. Wang, you are still kind." Bantou Li cupped his hands and said, "It's like this. At midnight tonight, Prince Jing escorted a group of gangsters into Shuntian Mansion. He said that they set fire to the inner city and were captured on the spot. "
When Wang Tianhe heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
No wonder he waited for so long and still didn't see Lu Zhong's return, so the gangsters were actually caught. I just don’t know if Lu Zhong knows about this or where he is now.
"Who are those gangsters? They are so bold and dare to set fire to the inner city. They are so bold." Wang Tianhe said immediately.
But Team Leader Li smiled and said nothing.
Seeing this, Wang Tianhe quickly ordered the butler to bring out a plate of silver.
When Captain Li saw this, he continued, "They are all gangsters from the capital, but there is one named Lu among them, who seems to be a seventh-grade imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital."
When Wang Tianhe heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhong was caught. This was really beyond his expectation.
And once Lu Zhong is caught, if he fails to hold on, he may be exposed.
Thinking of this, Wang Tianhe suddenly felt that his hands and feet were cold.
"Oh?! The imperial doctor named Lu?! Was he arrested by mistake? Is there such a person in our imperial hospital?" He pretended to be calm.
"There is no chance that he was caught by mistake. He was captured on the spot, and there are all witnesses and evidence." Team leader Li waved his hand.
"Then what did he say?" Wang Tianhe asked quickly.
Captain Li smiled and closed his mouth again.
Wang Tianhe was anxious and angry. He didn't expect that he, a dignified fifth-grade imperial doctor, would be blackmailed by a petty official like this. It was like being bullied by a dog.
However, he was still angry with Team Leader Li, and now he had to find out whether Lu Zhong had spit out and confessed to him, so he quickly winked again.
The butler presented another plate of silver.
"It's Dr. Wang who's happy." Li Bantou nodded, and then added, "Dr. Lu said that everything was done by himself. He was jealous of Xilaile's medical skills and didn't want Xilaile to gain a foothold in the capital, so he asked The gangsters burned his whole family down.”
"Oh, why is he such a person?" Wang Tianhe scolded, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Then what does Prince Jing say?"
"Prince Jing naturally didn't believe it and ordered the governor to carry out severe torture. He was tortured with boards, sticks, and crotches." Bantou Li sighed, "But Dr. Lu is a tough guy. He has always been I haven’t changed my mind, which is amazing.”
Wang Tianhe felt a little calmer.
He knew that Lu Zhong was loyal to him. Now that I look at it, it looks really good. As long as he doesn't spit, even if Prince Jing doubts himself again, he will never touch him without evidence.
"However, Mr. Wang, under three trees, there is nothing you can't ask for." Bantou Li smiled again, "I have seen many so-called tough guys, and at the beginning, they could grit their teeth with their bravery.
But when they were thrown into prison, the wounds slowly fester, stinky, and hurt to the bone. After several days and nights without food or water, and when I was so hungry that I couldn't bear it, and then heard the miserable wails of my family members, even the toughest man would have to give in.
If you want to avoid future troubles, you must act as soon as possible to eliminate the root causes. "
When Wang Tianhe heard what he said, his face turned pale.
Although he has never suffered this crime, he can imagine that life in prison will be difficult.
If Lu Zhong can't survive it, he will probably be confessed.
Therefore, just like Meng Qinghe, we should get rid of him as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares.
But Lu Zhong had followed him for so many years, working hard and always loyal, without any merit, but with hard work.
Wang Tianhe really couldn't bear to get rid of him like this.
So he thought about it and still didn't act cruelly.
…
After dawn, Yixiaotang, Shiweitian and Peide Medical School were officially opened.
The gongs and drums are noisy, firecrackers are blasting, colorful silks are flying, and the guests are crowded, making it very lively.
"Congratulations to your wife, congratulations!"
"Mr. Xi, have a great opening and everything goes well!"
"Happy Doctor, congratulations on the opening of the new store and your great achievements!"
Imperial doctors from the imperial hospital, heads of traditional Chinese medicine families, dignitaries, celebrities and gentry all came to support the ceremony.
First of all, Xiang Nan has a reputation as a miracle doctor, and his medical skills are unpredictable. But whoever in the world doesn’t get sick, no matter how rich or powerful they are, can’t stop the disease. Who doesn’t want a famous doctor to help him strengthen his body, relieve pain, and cure his illness?
Secondly, Xiang Nan was still a popular person around Prince Jing, and Prince Jing was now a popular person in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Who wouldn't want to have a relationship with him. Therefore, Aiwujiwu is naturally somewhat close to Xiang Nan.
Therefore, when the three stores were originally opened, not many guests were invited. After all, Xiang Nan had only been in the capital for a short time and did not have many connections.
However, there were thousands of guests who came to celebrate the opening and send gifts and congratulations that day, and it was really lively.
"Old man, I really didn't expect that the people in the capital would be so enthusiastic. People who we didn't know came to support us." Hu Suhua said in surprise.
"Madam, you are wrong. They are not here for us." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't you see that the prince is here. Most of them are here for the prince."
"Oh, let me tell you, when did we become so popular?" Hu Suhua said suddenly.
"Everyone, everyone, this Xiaotang and Shiweitian across the street all have my shares, and they are all considered their own businesses. You should take more care of me in the future." Prince Jing said with a smile, he was here specifically to give Xiang a gift today. Nan cheered.
After what happened yesterday, he knew he had to speak up for Xiang Nan. Otherwise, some people would not take Xiang Nan seriously at all.
"sure!"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will definitely support you!"
"The prince has spoken, so of course I want to listen."
Everyone catered to Dao.
