At the entrance of a building called Jishetang, people were gathered around an old man, confronting a group of servants who appeared to be from the household of an official.

The old man shouted angrily, "How can the Prime Minister's residence use its power to oppress people? I still have patients waiting for emergency treatment in my clinic. How can I abandon them and go to the Prime Minister's residence?"

A man who looked like a steward pointed at the old man and scolded, "Wei Bainian, don't be so shameless. The Prime Minister's mansion invited you to treat a patient, and you still dare to act so arrogantly? Do you still want to keep your clinic open?"

"I've said it before, you can go, but only after I've finished treating the emergency patients in my clinic. What, are the lives of the people in your Prime Minister's residence precious, but the lives of the patients in my clinic aren't?" Wei Bainian wasn't afraid at all.

"That's right, Doctor Wei didn't say he wouldn't go, he just asked you to wait a little while, but you still can't accept that."

"My mother hasn't woken up yet and is still waiting for Doctor Wei to save her life. What right do you have to come and take her away!"

"Yes, my father still has a tree branch stuck in his chest. Doctor Wei is gone, who can save him!"

"Why doesn't the Prime Minister's residence invite the imperial physicians from the palace?"

......

The onlookers were abuzz with discussion, and some patients and their families stood together to protect Doctor Wei, confronting the people from the Prime Minister's residence.

Seeing this, Steward Qiu was not afraid at all and sneered, "Old man Wei, it is an honor for us Prime Minister's mansion to invite you to treat patients. The money you earn from treating patients at the Prime Minister's mansion is more than you earn treating these lowly people."

Steward Qiu then pointed at the people protecting Wei Bainian, "You, you, you, I've remembered you all. How dare you oppose the Prime Minister's Mansion? I think you're tired of living. Get out of here now!"

After saying this, Steward Qiu beckoned and whispered a few words in the ear of a servant. The servant nodded and quickly left the crowd.

"I'm just giving you a friendly reminder. If you know what's good for you, step back now and I'll let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, don't blame me later."

"If we don't back down, what can the Prime Minister's mansion do? Do they think they can override the law?!"

"Doctor Wei does not wish to go; you cannot force him!"

"Yes, we must protect Doctor Wei!"

No one backed down; everyone glared angrily at Butler Qiu.

"Fine, fine, you won't back down, huh? Fine, then you'll stay put. I'll show you what regret is!" Butler Qiu laughed coldly at the group instead of getting angry.

"Make way! Make way! This is an official case, everyone make way!"

A constable led more than twenty constables and hurried over here.

Upon seeing Steward Qiu, the constable bowed and smiled, saying, "Steward Qiu, did you file the report? Is there anyone in Dragon Cloud City who's so blind as to dare mess with you?"

Steward Qiu raised his head slightly, "Officer Zhang, these unruly people are preventing the doctor from going to my Prime Minister's residence to save people."

Upon hearing this, Constable Zhang's expression changed instantly, filled with anger. He waved his hand and shouted, "Go! Arrest all these troublemakers and bring them back to the yamen for questioning! How dare they stop the doctor from saving lives? What are their intentions!"

"yes!"

The constables rushed forward to arrest him. Some onlookers scattered in panic, while those surrounding Wei Bainian were knocked to the ground with sticks and detained by the constables.

Instantly, screams, cries, and shouts erupted at the entrance of the clinic.

Wei Bainian trembled with rage as he watched the people who had previously protected him being arrested.

"Qiu Ping, does your Prime Minister's residence still have any respect for the law?"

"The law? Wei Bainian, my Prime Minister is the law. You have to go today, whether you like it or not! If you come with me obediently, I'll have them release the people, otherwise..." Qiu Ping looked at Wei Bainian with a mocking expression.

To dare disobey the Prime Minister's mansion is simply a sign of ignorance and arrogance.
