Xie Jiabao reacted quickly enough, so he quickly cleaned up the bloodstains in front of the door, and then cleaned up a long way along the way he came, until he stopped at a fork in the road.

However, Pujitang is the best medical clinic in Beiguan Town. If there are still pursuers, they will probably find Pujitang quickly even without bloodstains as a guide.

Moreover, Pujitang was in broad daylight and the gates were already closed, which gave the impression that they were trying to cover up something.

Xie Jiabao took the tools, returned to Pujitang, and told Doctor Wang about his concerns.

Doctor Wang was also a little hesitant.

It’s not that he has no place to hide Li Gan, but that special place is his family’s secret after all. If it is exposed now, it might harm him in the future.

However, if there really were pursuers behind them, Li Gan and I would be on the same boat...

Moreover, the identity of this noble man before me, unknown to others, was clear to me. He was the most favored of the emperors. Just because he was here, I couldn't stand by and watch him die.

Doctor Wang did not hesitate for too long. He quickly sorted out the interests involved, asked his eldest disciple to remove a door panel, and directed his eldest disciple and Xie Jiabao to carry Li Gan to his study.

Doctor Wang's study was a large suite, with a bed, chairs, and a coffee table in the outer room, and a desk and bookshelves in the inner room. A wooden door separated the inner and outer rooms.

Of course, this wooden door is basically open on weekdays, with only a crystal bead curtain hanging on the door frame to block the view. This door will only be closed at certain special moments.

After entering, Doctor Wang asked his eldest disciple to stay outside to guard the door. He himself, leaning on a cane, took the nobleman and Xie Jiabao into the inner room of the study and closed the wooden door.

Doctor Wang twisted a decorative vase on his desk left and right a few times.

The wide, flat ground in front of Duobao Pavilion suddenly cracked open, revealing a section of stone steps winding downwards.

The entrance is not very wide, but as long as the angle is adjusted, the door panel can be lifted down with some effort.

The nobleman was not pretentious and lifted one end himself. Xie Jiabao lifted the other end consciously. Doctor Wang followed with a cane, and the group walked down to the secret room and tunnel under the study.

The secret room is fully equipped, and it is no problem to stay here for a month or so to recuperate.

The tunnel in the secret room leads directly to the outside of the city.

This secret room and tunnel were not built by Doctor Wang, but were originally part of this courtyard.

A big part of the reason why Doctor Wang chose to open a clinic in this place was because he was attracted by the mysteries underground.

Doctor Wang personally examined Li Gan's injuries, prescribed medicine, and gave him acupuncture, and then asked Xie Jiabao to sew up all the larger wounds for Li Gan.

Li Gan was originally unconscious, but was suddenly awakened by the pain of stitching.

Fortunately, Li Gan quickly realized that he was being treated. So, was he saved? He looked again and saw that the noble man was there, and he felt relieved, then fainted again.

After treating Li Gan and applying the best medicine to his wounds, Doctor Wang handed over the task of taking care of Li Gan to Xie Jiabao.

The child was kind and honest, thoughtful and considerate, and smart and clever, so Doctor Wang was very confident in him.

Considering the problem of pursuers, you have to stay in the secret room for a few days.

Doctor Wang, leaning on his cane, left the study and returned to the front with his eldest disciple. He thought for a moment and said to his eldest disciple, "If we want to survive, this is the only way..."

The more the eldest disciple listened, the more he admired her. It turned out that experience is always the best!

So the eldest disciple, along with his assistants, apprentices, and guards, brought out the old and new account books of Pujitang and asked the accountant to sort out the accounts.

At the same time, he took people to count the medicines in the pharmacy, trying to pick out the various cheap medicinal materials, and moved them out one by one.

The house and the yard were filled with piles of stuff everywhere, so full that there was no end in sight and there was almost no place to step.

Everyone was busy and cleaning up without complaint, when they heard a series of banging sounds on the door, accompanied by shouts of "Open the door! Open the door quickly!"

Doctor Wang sent a cunning young servant to the gate and shouted across it:

"The boss is closing the storehouse today. Please go to another clinic for treatment!"

The person banging on the door seemed very angry when he heard this:

"Just open the door when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Who are you calling crazy?"

As the person outside was talking, he increased the force of his banging on the door, and actually broke the gate outside the door and knocked the main door open.

The door fell to the ground. The boy dodged hastily and was almost hit. He immediately became angry:

"Why are you so fierce? This is a warehouse! There are so many kinds of medicinal herbs. Can you afford to pay for them if they are damaged?

This medicinal material is not easy to purchase, and the price is secondary.

If a patient's life is lost due to a missing medicine, it would be a serious matter!"

After hearing this, the leader became angry and immediately whipped the young man with a whip.

The boy was only fourteen years old and burst into tears immediately:

"Woo woo woo! You're bullying me!"

While crying, he hugged his arm which had a bloody mark on it and ran to Doctor Wang to complain.

Doctor Wang said to the group of people who broke in with a serious face:

"We're currently doing inventory and clearing accounts, so we're closed today! Why don't you go to another clinic? You're so lawless and unreasonable, banging on my door without even saying a word. How can you be so unreasonable?"

The leader of the team was very confident: "Urgent military affairs, search for spies!" After replying to Doctor Wang, he waved his hand towards the room and said: "Men, search!"

Doctor Wang was so angry that his beard was shaking:

"Wait! I won't stop you from searching for spies! But what if you can't find any?

Besides, in this room, there are many porcelains, jades, calligraphy and paintings, and books, all given by His Majesty. If they are knocked, broken, or torn, who among you will bear the responsibility?"

The leader rolled his eyes, but still hesitated for a moment, then clasped his hands together and bowed in greeting.

"Old sir, I didn't mean to bother you here. But this spy is no small matter. If we don't find him, our Beiguan Town will fall into the hands of the barbarians! I hope you will understand!"

Then he shouted to his men, "Be quick and decisive! Move gently! The things in this house are valuable. If they are damaged, you won't be able to afford the compensation even if you sell them!"

Doctor Wang stood at the door with the help of a cane, his face showing that he was trying his best to endure, but his heart was in his throat.

The commotion at Puji Hall was so intense that even the women were alarmed, but the search turned up nothing. The new captain's nephew, cursing, withdrew with his men.

At the same time, in the northwest corner of Beiguan Town, Xiao Lubuhua, riding on his beloved Qingcong horse, accompanied by several men and a sedan chair carried by four people, was walking towards the city gate with a smug look on his face.
