388 Resolution
The hooligan didn’t expect Lin Suisui to expose him.
He had been paid by someone to cause trouble, but how did this frail-looking woman in front of him know? He wanted to explain, but the guard beside him quickly came over and examined him. Then, he actually took out a few banknotes from him.
“I heard that you hang around casinos and brothels all day long. You rely on helping people collect debts and keep an eye on things to earn a living. You never have extra money on hand. Once you have money, you’ll either drink it all or gamble it all away. So, how did you get the 50 taels of silver on you?”
Lin Suisui looked at the banknotes that the guard had taken as she asked the hooligan who was lying on the ground.
This wasn’t a wild guess. During the past few days, this person had put a lot of effort into spreading rumors. Therefore, he naturally received handsome rewards from the mastermind.
Since he had appeared today, Lin Suisui didn’t mind making an example out of him in public.
“Forget it. It’s not appropriate for a woman like me to ask too much about such things. Just now, County Governor Tang said that the patients in our medical center are involved in a spy case.
Although I don’t know much about what’s going on outside, the fact that you’re so eager to beguile people and instigate innocent people to attack the medical center is really suspicious.
“Why don’t we send you to the Imperial City government that’s supervising this case?! County Governor Tang, what do you think?”
As Lin Suisui told him her plan, she didn’t forget to ask County Governor Tang, who was standing at the side.
“Of course.” County Governor Tang nodded repeatedly. He was panicking, so now that Lin Suisui had suggested it, how could he dare to say no?
Besides, Lin Sui’s arrangement was indeed suitable. He was just doing her a favor.
Before County Governor Tang agreed, the guards below pulled the hooligan on the ground up and dragged him out of the crowd.
This straightforward approach made the surrounding crowd fall silent. Then, they dispersed. A moment later, the medical center fell silent again.
Seeing that the crisis had been resolved, Lin Suisui turned around to look at County Governor Tang. “Mr. County Governor, thank for your hard work. Fortunately, you rushed over in time. If you had come any later, I’m afraid we would have had to explain what happened just now.”
Her sarcasm made County Governor Tang’s expression turn ugly.
After a long time, County Governor Tang finally regained his senses and he looked at Lin Suisui as he explained awkwardly, “I rushed over after receiving the news. After all, it’s a little far away, so I arrived late.
These stupid citizens are too ignorant and easily beguiled by gossip. Please forgive them.”
County Governor Tang was very vague. He knew that the frail-looking Madam Pei wasn’t easy to fool. However, now that things had come to this, he could only brace himself and try his best to fool her.
Lin Suisui only gave County Governor Tang a meaningful look. Without saying anything else, she turned around and returned to the medical center, leaving County Governor Tang alone outside the medical center. He was uneasy, but he had no choice but to leave.
After returning to the medical center, Lin Suisui asked Doctor Luo softly, “Have those patients been settled yet?”
“Don’t worry, we’ve already settled them in a suitable place.” Doctor Luo followed beside Lin Sui. When he heard her ask about this, he quickly replied, “I followed your instructions and bought a small courtyard not far from our courtyard, then sent them over to settle down.
With Hu Zi and the others guarding there, you don’t have to worry too much.”
“They’re just tools to the northern barbarians. Now that those two spies have entered the northern barbarian territory safely, I believe no one will cause trouble for them for the time being.”
Lin Suisui nodded gently. She was confident in Doctor Luo’s arrangements.
“Although on the surface, our medical center is in trouble because of those commoners who didn’t know the truth and was instigated by other people, at the end of the day, the root cause is not those commoners.
“The masterminds hiding in the dark are the focus of our investigation this time.”
“Actually, before our medical center opened, I went to look for the medical association in the northern region. However, they rejected us.”
At the mention of this, Doctor Luo couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Just like other businesses in the empire, the medical centers in the northern region and the merchants in charge of the herb business all had a unified association called the medical association.
Highly respected and capable doctors were in charge of all matters in the medical association. Under normal circumstances, the medical association set rules regarding the prices of goods in the business, and members who joined the medical association would do things according to the rules. If they violated them, they would be punished.
Correspondingly, the members of the medical center would also receive the medical association’s protection. If they encountered any unexpected situations, the medical association would also come forward to help.
However, it wasn’t easy to join the medical association.
For example, Doctor Luo had also gone to look for the medical association before their medical center opened, but in the end, the other party invited him out very ‘politely’ without even listening to Doctor Luo’s introduction.
“Now that I think about it, it’s fine if we don’t join. If we do, I’m afraid things will be even more troublesome.” As Doctor Luo told Lin Suisui about his visit to the medical association, he couldn’t help but sigh.
If they had successfully joined the medical association at that time, they would probably have to face the entire medical association’s condemnation now.
“Even if we don’t join, trouble will keep coming.” Lin Suisui took the teacup from Bai Guo. She didn’t agree with Doctor Luo’s words.
This time, those people from the medical association were secretly causing trouble.
Now that it was no longer feasible to hire people to secretly cause trouble, if those people from the medical association were still unwilling to let the matter rest, they would probably have to pay them a visit.
In the past, Lin Suisui would definitely have stayed in the medical center and waited for the other party to cause trouble. However, this time, she had a completely different plan.
