Chapter 270 - 270 “What’s Going On?!”
270 “What’s Going On?!”
The situation was much worse than Lin Suisui had expected.
The courtyard where Doctor Luo lived was prepared by Pei Qian previously and was considered a relatively prosperous area in Cloud Mountain City. Today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and most people were at home. Now that there was a commotion at the entrance of Doctor Luo’s courtyard, the surrounding residents who had squeezed over to watch the commotion surrounded the entire alley!
When Lin Suisui and the others arrived, Su Qi had already brought people over to control the situation in the courtyard!
However, even so, the courtyard where Doctor Luo and the others lived was still in chaos. The originally neat courtyard was already in a mess.
!!
Doctor Luo and the others, who were trying to stop them, had injuries on their faces and bodies.
As for the people who came to cause trouble, although they had already been restrained, they still didn’t give in at all and cursed non-stop. If words could be turned into blades, Doctor Luo and the others would have been stabbed already!
“What’s going on?!” Lin Suisui and Lu Ze were not the only ones who came after hearing the news. There was also the frustrated Prefectural Governor, Mr. Tang.
Others might not know, but he knew! The people in this courtyard were all related to Pei Qian, who had come from the capital! However, he couldn’t afford to offend the person who had asked him to come…
Therefore, when he, who was sandwiched in the middle, saw Lin Suisui and Lu Ze walk out of the crowd, he was so excited that he almost knelt on the ground to thank his ancestors for their blessings. Although he knew that his crisis could be resolved now, he still did his job.
For example, this question!
“God, please save me. We haven’t been able to get into contact with my man for more than half a month already! No matter what, he always comes home before the new year!
This year, we waited at home but didn’t hear from them!
We had no choice but to go over and look for them. In the end, we were told that my man was no longer on duty!
Of course, our entire family was anxious! But you also know that the north is so big, so it’s not easy for us to find someone!
“But fortunately, a few days ago, we received a letter from a woman we’re familiar with. She said that she had seen my man here!”
Upon hearing the county governor’s question, a woman in a short brown jacket stood up from the group of troublemakers in the courtyard. As soon as she spoke, she couldn’t help but cry. “We didn’t think too much about it at first and only thought that he was injured, so we didn’t dare to tell our family!
My mother-in-law, I, and a few other women spent three days traveling over here! I was still at the entrance of the courtyard when I heard my man howling inside!
I knocked on the door, but the person inside ignored me!
We had no choice but to look for the woman I was familiar with. Only then did we find out that she had really seen my man when she worked in this house previously!
She said that this military doctor is not a good person. He’s using my man as a lab rat to test poison!”
The woman’s explanation made all the onlookers sigh. Without waiting for Doctor Luo to explain, she turned around and pulled a girl in a pink dress out of the crowd. She gestured to County Governor Tang, who was standing at the side. “County Governor, look, it’s her!
She saw it with her own eyes. The military doctor chained my man and some other men to the bed in the room! He even forced them to drink medicine every day!
She originally wanted to stay for two more days to see what medicine the men had drunk, but for some reason, she was chased out with the other girls!
She said that she was also extremely afraid!
“Sir, you have to seek justice for us!”
“Yes, yes. There are a total of six soldiers inside, all tied to the bed with chains! When I first saw them, I was shocked. Later on, I couldn’t help but ask Doctor Luo why he tied these people up, but Doctor Luo said that I shouldn’t interfere in things that don’t concern me!
Later on, when we brewed the medicine, they instructed us not to discuss it with each other nor could we bring the medicine out! However, later on, a girl accidentally brewed the medicine for too long and ruined it, so they chased us out!
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, so I mentioned this matter to my sister-in-law! My sister-in-law said that there was no news of Sister Lin’s husband, so I informed her. I didn’t expect her husband to really be in Doctor Luo’s courtyard.”
The girl looked nervous, but she still stammered as she told County Governor Tang what had happened.
As the girl spoke, Lin Suisui also recognized that this was the person who had argued with her when she suggested sending those girls away that day.
“I’ve already explained to you just now. This is clearly a misunderstanding!” Doctor Luo ignored his sorry state and continued to explain to the people in front of him earnestly, “They’re here now not because I want to hurt them, but because I’m treating them!
They’re poisoned now. If we didn’t tie them up, they would go crazy!
I explained to you that the reason I didn’t inform you was that I was afraid that your family would be worried! But I promise you that all of this is…”
“Don’t fool us! My man has always been as strong as a calf. How could he go crazy?!” The woman was unwilling to give Doctor Luo a chance to explain at all. Just as she spoke, she screamed and interrupted him impatiently. “Besides, how can anyone tie someone to the bed and force them to drink medicine?!
Besides, all the neighbors around us are witnesses. Who doesn’t hear my man’s screams every day?!
If you guys were really treating him, would you have to go through so much trouble?!
Yo guys are really heartless! I don’t care. I have to save my man today and bring him home. If you stop me, I’ll kill myself here!
Even if I die, I want to die with my man!”
“Are you sure your husband is among those soldiers inside?!” Lin Suisui watched from the side as the woman fussed. Finally, she couldn’t help but take two steps forward. She stood up and looked at the crying woman calmly as she slowly confirmed, “Just based on the voice you heard and the words of an acquaintance?”
