In her previous life, Yun Zhao was deceived by the fake young mistress. Her biological father, along with his entire household of ill, disabled women and children, was exiled and died tragically in...
Chapter 99 You can do it!
Yun Zhao never expected that although Chen Ba was in charge of the pharmacy, he was not the biggest boss in the pharmacy!
"You're utterly useless! Your men could burn you alive anytime!"
Faced with the children's humiliation, Chen Ba was speechless.
He is ostensibly the owner of this pharmacy, but Doctor Yu is the one behind it all.
He had no idea that behind the warehouse lay a bottomless abyss!
"Does this warehouse have any other windows?"
"Now is not the time to mock him," Yun Zhao kicked him and asked.
Meanwhile, outside the door, Doctor Yu watched the struggling officials.
"Kill him, then throw him into the fire and burn him together, to make it cleaner."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The officer was immediately alarmed and shouted, "You dare?!"
No matter how much they shouted or warned, the thieves remained unmoved.
With a "whoosh," he drew his sword, and the blade was about to fall.
Perhaps driven by the will to survive, a sudden thought flashed through his mind, and he exclaimed, "Fifth Prince!"
The knife came down, then suddenly stopped in front of him.
"Dr. Yu!"
Doctor Yu paused, turning back to look at the official.
The officer's chest heaved with fear as he observed the other person's reaction.
He knew then that this was an opportunity!
"We came to borrow medicine from the Fifth Prince's men. The whole of Yangguan County knows about this. If we die here, the Fifth Prince will not escape responsibility either!"
Doctor Yu turned around, his eyes now filled with a sinister glint as he stared at the official.
They actually knew that this warehouse was backed by the Fifth Prince.
So how much more do these people actually know?
“How could I possibly know the Fifth Prince? My warehouse is backed by the Prefect of Yangling Prefecture.”
Prefect of Yangling Prefecture?
impossible.
Knowing there was a plague, leaving medicinal herbs outside the city was practically suicide.
Those trusted confidants who were brought out by Yang Jingyan all had some brains.
"Stop pretending. We all know this warehouse is backed by the Fifth Prince. We have no intention of being his enemy."
But you killed the county magistrate and us. Thousands of people in Yangguan County know about it. How many of them can you kill?
Why don't you give us the medicine? I can guarantee that it will appear in the memorial our magistrate submitted to the imperial court.
They wouldn't mention the Fifth Prince at all, but if we died, the Minister of Revenue, now exiled to Yangguan County,
They will definitely find a way to expose the Fifth Prince's illegal operation of a pharmacy and the fact that his subordinates plotted against government officials.
"Report this to Your Majesty word for word: We lowly underlings may die, but are you sure you really want to drag the Fifth Prince down with us?"
The official kept chattering away, which actually managed to intimidate Doctor Yu.
"Dr. Yu, what should we do?"
His men hesitated for a moment as they watched the fire grow ever stronger.
Doctor Yu looked at the officials and noticed that they seemed unaware of the Fifth Prince's relationship with Yanbei.
But the people inside have probably already seen the ledgers; they absolutely cannot be left behind!
"kill!"
Doctor Yu gave the order in a cold voice.
"yes!"
The officer, watching the blade about to fall, closed his eyes in despair.
We're doomed!
Just then, with a "whoosh," a flash of cold light appeared.
"clang!"
A dagger struck the hilt of the knife, sending it flying!
The saber was plunged directly into the hay at the warehouse entrance with a "thud" and disappeared into the fire!
"who?!"
Doctor Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned around, only to see several dark figures flashing through the bushes.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The sound of something cutting through the air rang out, and the group quickly dodged.
The hidden arrow landed right beside the officers, clearing out the assassins around them.
"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Do you know whose people I am here with?"
Doctor Yu was not skilled in martial arts, so he hurriedly retreated, and his men quickly surrounded him.
Several tall men appeared, all of them with their faces covered.
One of them was rather thin, and although his face was not visible, he appeared to be quite young.
Doctor Yu could tell at a glance that this young man was the leader.
"Young master, we haven't offended you, have we?"
"You've offended me by touching my men! Attack! Leave three alive, kill the rest!"
When he spoke, his voice was clear and bright, and one could tell at a glance that he was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.
Doctor Yu was startled; it seemed these were the officials' men.
"Kill them!"
The newcomers were just three burly men and a boy; he refused to believe that they could take on ten men at once!
The boy dodged the blade and with a swift stroke of his soft sword, severed the hemp rope around the official's wrist!
"Quickly, go save them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man turned around and slapped the thugs of the pharmacy with his soft sword. With a "smack," the thugs were hit and felt a sharp pain.
The officers didn't care where these people came from; they quickly found something to push aside the burning haystack piled up at the door.
"Cough cough cough! My lord!"
They were choked by the thick smoke, their eyes and noses running, but they dared not delay for a moment.
The gate was engulfed in flames. Several officers picked up wooden sticks and shouted "Three, two, one!" as they rammed the sticks against the gate!
"Thump!"
"My lord! Cough cough cough!"
The group shouted loudly together, and the people inside heard them.
"Ahem, sir, someone has come to rescue us!"
Several officials protected Yang Jingyan, while Yun Zhao rode on the back of a tiger, carrying a cub in his arms.
"Snap!"
The fire spread to the roof of the warehouse, and it looked like the roof was about to collapse, while the main door had only been partially smashed.
Yun Zhao's eyes darkened, and he grabbed a waterproof cloth from the side and covered himself and the tiger's head with it.
"Huahua, I know you're scared too. Listen to me, you can definitely break down this door."
"If we just break through, we can survive! Otherwise, your baby and I will both be burned alive!"
Tigers are afraid of fire, but they are also afraid of death.
Yun Zhao covered its head with a waterproof cloth, which also slightly insulated it from the heat.
"Waaah—"
The tiger growled in fear, and Yun Zhao hugged its neck.
"Keep going! I'll hold on tight to this cloth. You can do it! I'll give you five fruits when we get back!"
"roar!"
The tiger roared and charged with all its might toward the breach!
Upon hearing the tiger's roar, the officials outside the gate immediately dispersed to both sides.
"The tiger is out!"
The people fighting were stunned for a moment, thinking they had misheard.
"roar!"
A tiger's roar echoed once more from within the fire.
Immediately afterwards, a piece of tarpaulin rushed out of the fire!
With a loud bang, the door, which already had a hole in it, was completely smashed open!
Yun Zhao quickly threw down the tarpaulin, and the tiger shook its head violently before lying down to let Yun Zhao get off its back.
Yun Zhao, holding the cub, slid off the tiger's back and watched it nervously.
"Hua Hua, are you alright?"
The tiger nudged her with its head to show that it was alright, and Yun Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned to look at the gate and saw that Yang Jingyan had also escaped under the cover of the officials.
The fire engulfed the entire roof, and thick smoke filled the warehouse.
Looking at the warehouse that had been swallowed up, Dr. Yu felt a surge of relief.
Burn it all! Burn it all!
Without physical evidence, let's see how you testify!
