Chapter 215 - 215 "If You Don't Refund The Money, I'll Destroy Qifeng Hall's Reputation!"
215 “If You Don’t Refund The Money, I’ll Destroy Qifeng Hall’s Reputation!”
The night Lin Suisui returned from the doctor’s place, Lu Ze brought back Pei Qian’s gift for her.
In addition to the place that Pei Qian had promised he would let her open a medical center at, there was also the title deed and house deed for the small courtyard where the medical officers now lived. The six medical officers had already signed the contract lying safely in the flat wooden box.
Of course, what was more shocking was the thick stack of banknotes.
“This is Ma Xiuzhu’s ransom money.” Seeing Lin Suisui staring at the stack of banknotes in shock, Lu Ze couldn’t help but explain with a smile, “10,000 taels has just been delivered to Pei Qian!”
“Didn’t the Ma family say that they used to be extremely poor?! They’ve only joined Gao Xuwei’s faction for a few days, but they’re already so rich?!” Lin Suisui frowned. In the past few days, she had figured out the families who had conflicts with them.
She might know more about the Ma family than Lu Ze did!
Therefore, in less than a year, a family that had to sell their daughter to gather enough travel expenses to seek refuge with their former brethren could easily fork out 10,000 taels now?!
“Ma Xiuzhu took this silver from his mother previously and planned to buy your smashed shop. However, now that Ma Xiuzhu has been captured, there’s naturally no need for this silver!
In addition, he had smashed your shop previously, so this bit of silver can be considered compensation!
Pei Qian asked me to bring the silver back for you.”
Lu Ze didn’t hide Pei Qian’s role in this matter. After he reached out and closed the wooden box, he told Lin Suisui something else.
“I have a lot of things to do now, so I might not be able to accompany you for the time being. In order to run the medical center, you definitely have to go out often.
Therefore, I prepared a few secret guards for you to protect you along with Su Le and the others.”
As Lu Ze spoke, Lin Suisui saw that four masked men in black had already knelt down on one knee beside her. They bowed to her respectfully and greeted her.
“In addition, two maidservants from the secret camp will come tomorrow. They’re women, so it’s convenient for them to follow you and protect you in case of emergencies!”
After the four secret guards hid in the dark again, Lu Ze continued to tell Lin Suisui about the subsequent arrangements. “Cloud Mountain City is not very peaceful. Before I deal with all the troublemakers, you have to be more careful when you go out.
If there’s anything else, you can get Su Le to arrange for someone to inform me at the Imperial City Division’s base in Cloud Mountain City.”
“Yes.” Lin Suisui nodded and replied very seriously, “Don’t worry, I’ll remember it!”
After saying this, seeing that Lu Ze had nothing else to say, Lin Suisui seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Lu Ze and suddenly asked curiously, “Did you let Ma Xiuzhu go?!”
“Of course not.” Lu Ze shook his head and looked at Lin Suisui with a smile. “We’re not done asking questions yet. Even if we want to let him go, it has to wait until we’re done asking questions!”
When Lin Suisui heard Lu Ze’s words, she didn’t think too much about it and told him about meeting those military doctors today.
“I’ve already asked that assistant to go back and pass on the message. Let’s see how shameless Doctor Feng is! If he returns the money and apologizes to the medical officers, this matter will pass. But if he still insists that nothing happened, I won’t be polite to him!”
When Lin Suisui mentioned the situation at that time, she still couldn’t suppress the anger in her heart.
“If those old people didn’t know medicine and kept eating according to that prescription, their blood would have clotted. Over time, even their other limbs might become damaged!
He’s clearly disregarding human lives!”
Such a doctor was simply a scumbag!
“Qifeng Hall’s backer is Luo Chengshan, the Huben Lieutenant of the Huben Battalion under the general who stabilizes the north. Doctor Feng was only recognized as the divine doctor in the north in the past two years.”
Hearing Lin Suisui’s complaints, Lu Ze didn’t forget to tell her some of the things he knew about the northern region. Not to mention distant history, but the recent incidents concerned the complicated relationships in Cloud Mountain City!
However, the omnipotent power was usually all tied to one point.
The reason he and Pei Qian didn’t attack openly now was that they wanted to investigate more clearly and see how far these lackeys wanted to climb up the royal court.
“Then if the Qifeng Hall doesn’t return the money tomorrow, I’ll bring people to collect the debt!” Lu Ze’s words made Lin Suisui’s eyes light up. She immediately understood what Lu Ze meant.
She blinked and looked at Lu Ze as she chuckled. “Let’s see if that lieutenant from the Huben Battalion will come and save the day!”
“How far do you plan to go?!” Lu Ze shook his head slightly and asked helplessly.
Actually, the reason he had told her about the factions behind Qifeng Hall wasn’t that he wanted her to cooperate, but to reassure her that with him around, Qifeng Hall definitely couldn’t continue operating without any scruples!
However, when he heard Lin Suisui’s suggestion, he didn’t stop her from getting involved. If she wanted to vent her anger, so be it!
“If they don’t refund the money, I’ll destroy Qifeng Hall’s reputation!” Lin Suisui rolled up her sleeves and said firmly!
She had done this many times when she was traveling with her mentor! She led the patients who had been harmed by those quacks to attack them. She wouldn’t stop until those quacks’ true colors were exposed in broad daylight!
“Alright!” Lu Ze nodded and agreed to Lin Suisui’s plan. “I’ll arrange for someone to go over tomorrow, but you have to be careful. Let Su Le follow you in. If anything goes wrong, he can protect you.”
In this aspect, Lu Ze’s arrangements were naturally more reliable, so Lin Suisui naturally wouldn’t refuse.
She was going to cause trouble in order to shut that quack medical center down, not to risk her life.
“By the way, I’ve prepared the antidote for Gao Xuwei this time. Take it to him tomorrow!” After saying this, Lin Suisui remembered something else.
She stood up and went to get a medicine bottle for Lu Ze. “The poison in his body will flare up at noon tomorrow. You just have to give him this antidote before tomorrow!
“Don’t worry, although Gao Xuwei will feel pain during this period of time, he won’t die immediately. He’s tough, so he won’t die so quickly!”
