Chapter 127 Huo Qingchen Regrets
"No... No, I can't. I'll die."
Lin Da kowtowed madly.
"Miss, I was wrong. I was really wrong. I won't dare to do it again. Please don't kill me. I am willing to tell you everything I know. I only beg you to spare my life."
Just as Yu Youning was about to speak, Wen Xiangli gently pulled her back.
Wen Xiangli took a few steps forward, standing in front of Yu Youning. He looked at Lin Da expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "What do you know?"
Lin Da raised his head and looked at Wen Xiangli in confusion, hesitating whether to speak.
He didn't know Wen Xiangli's identity, nor was he sure whether Wen Xiangli's words would work.
Wen Xiangli had no expression on his face, and when he spoke, his voice was neither fast nor slow, giving people a very calm and experienced feeling.
"My name is Wen Xiangli, and my father is Wen Shoufu."
Lin Da was suddenly shocked. He was actually the son of the Prime Minister?
No wonder his demeanor is different from that of ordinary people!
Lin Da, who had been somewhat skeptical about Wen Xiangli just now, now looked extremely excited.
"Master Wen, I am willing to tell you everything I know, and I only ask that you spare my life."
Wen Xiangli looked at Lin Da indifferently, his voice still without any fluctuation, "What do you know?"
Lin Da swallowed hard and then spoke slowly.
"There are only three of us in this yard, but there are more than three of us doing this."
"There are people who specialize in kidnapping people, regardless of gender, age, appearance, body shape, or background. As long as they see the right opportunity, they will directly abduct them."
"The Third Young Master's whereabouts are uncertain. These kidnapped people will be sent to wherever he is."
"The Third Young Master only recently arrived in the capital, but most of the people detained here were transported from nearby. After all, the capital is under the rule of the emperor, and the management is relatively strict. If too many people go missing, it will cause unnecessary trouble."
"We originally advised the Third Young Master not to stay in the capital for too long. But he said that the capital is wealthy and people are generous. If we make a few defective products, we can make a lot of money in a few days."
"We were persuaded by the Third Young Master's words and agreed to stay. When we saw you guys on the street today, we just thought you were rich young men and women with no guards around, so we took advantage of the chaos and arrested two of you..."
Lin Da's voice gradually became smaller as he spoke here.
If time could go back, he would never attack these four people.
No!
If he could do it again, he would never let the Third Young Master come to the capital!
But it's no use regretting these things now.
Lin Da was still thinking about all sorts of things in his mind when he heard Wen Xiangli say in a flat voice, "What you said is not enough."
Hearing this, Lin Da was extremely shocked.
What do you mean not enough?
Why is it not enough?
Wen Xiangli stared at Lin Da. "According to what you just said, you've done similar things throughout Dayong, and yet no one has ever discovered it? Was there someone cleaning up for you? Was there someone covering up for you? Did you keep all the money you earned?"
With every question Wen Xiangli asked, Lin Da's heart sank a little.
He really didn't expect that Wen Xiangli, who looked young, could be so meticulous. From what he just said, he couldn't have expected so much.
Moreover, he guessed the key points in every sentence.
Lin Da was nervous, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his body was shaking slightly.
His expression was hesitant, and he obviously didn't know whether to speak or not.
Seeing that he was still silent, Wen Xiangli sighed softly, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it... In that case..."
"Young Master!" Lin Da raised his head quickly. "You're right, Young Master. There is indeed someone cleaning up for us, and we demand a 30% share of our annual profits. That person is in the court, holding a high position of power. We have a close personal relationship, like brothers... If Young Master Wen agrees to spare my life, I will immediately reveal this person."
Lin Er, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly raised his head and said, "Master Wen, I also know who that person is. If I tell you, can you spare my life?"
Wen Xiangli frowned slightly, "How do I know if what you two said is true?"
After thinking for a moment, Wen Xiangli asked again, "Can you two read?"
Although the two did not understand why Wen Xiangli asked this, they still nodded obediently.
"It's good to know how to read."
"Each of you write down the names you know, and see if you both agree."
Lin Da and Lin Er looked at each other and were taken away before they had time to say anything.
Not long after, the two people were brought back and two pieces of paper were presented to them.
Wen Xiangli pasted two pieces of paper, opened them and looked at them. They both had the same name written on them.
Wen Xiangli folded the paper and put it into his sleeve. Then he smiled and said to Yu Youning, "I have asked everything I wanted to ask. I will leave them to you to deal with."
Yu Youning blinked, and a question mark slowly appeared above his head.
Not only Yu Youning, but Lin Da and Lin Er were also dumbfounded.
"Master! Master Wen!" Lin Da said hurriedly, "Master just promised me that he would let me go."
The corners of Wen Xiangli's mouth curved upwards, revealing a rare, very faint smile.
"When did I say I would let you go?"
"Which word did I agree to?"
"With so many people present, did anyone hear it?"
With every question Wen Xiangli asked, Lin Da's expression became uglier.
He thought about it carefully.
From beginning to end, Wen Xiangli never explicitly said that he would release him.
Wen Xiangli had been patiently coaxing him, even asking him and Lin Er to compete to say their names first...
Lin Da stared at Wen Xiangli intently, his eyes filled with anger. "You are such a treacherous and cunning boy! Even if I die, I will not let you go."
Yu Youning looked at Lin Da curiously, "You're already dead, why don't you let him go?
Besides, you can’t die now. I still have use for your arms and legs, your eyes, and your tongue!”
Lin Da's pupils suddenly dilated, his body trembled violently, and he looked at Yu Youning as if he was looking at a monster.
How could such a young child say such vicious words?
This is not a fair and tender little girl at all, this is simply an evil ghost in human skin!
Wen Xiangli glanced at Lin Da and Lin Er calmly, and ordered the guards beside him, "Shut their mouths."
The two of them can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, so it's better not to let their words dirty Yu Youning's ears.
"Youning." Wen Xiangli said softly, "I'm going to go find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I'll leave this here to you."
Just as Yu Youning was about to speak, he saw several imperial doctors walking in, led by guards.
Behind them, there were some medicine boys carrying a lot of medicinal herbs.
Seeing them coming, Yu Youning was instantly attracted to them.
Without even looking at the formalities, he just casually waved his hand and said, "Go, go, you're not needed here anymore."
Wen Xiangli pursed his lips and finally turned and left.
Just as Yu Youning was about to go talk to the imperial physician, she saw Huo Qingchen still standing nearby, so she stopped and said, "Why aren't you leaving yet? I don't think you'll be able to see what's coming next!"
"Impossible!" Huo Qingchen immediately retorted, "How could there be something in this world that I can't see? I'm going to stay here. If you need anything, I'll help you."
Seeing how serious and determined he was, Yu Youning stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder. "Since you've said that, I'm counting on you! Stand next to me and help me pass the knife!"
A quarter of an hour later, Huo Qingchen regretted it.
She had always thought that what Yu Youning said to Lin Da was to scare Lin Da.
But it was not until now that he realized that Yu Youning was not bluffing or joking, she was serious.
She actually cut off Lin Da's arm and wanted to attach it to another person.
Huo Qingchen stood aside to help pass the knife, but in his heart he was thinking about how to leave here without embarrassment.
Before I could figure out a solution, I heard the imperial physician say that the graft might not heal properly if connected that way.
Yu Youning took out some more poisonous insects and sprinkled them on the joints. "These poisonous insects will eat some of the flesh from both wounds, and then die. After they die, they will connect the two wounds together, and they will heal!"
The imperial physician was amazed. "Youning, is what you said true? Is it really so miraculous?"
If this is true, it will benefit many people in the future!
Yu Youning didn't exaggerate, but said, "It will be healed in three days. You can come and see it then, won't you know?"
Hearing is not as good as seeing. You have to see it with your own eyes to believe it!
The imperial physician nodded quickly. "After they have their limbs reattached, they will need someone to look after them. I will have someone stay by their side."
This also makes it easier for him to observe and record.
There are not many opportunities like this, so he must cherish them.
Yu Youning didn't care what he was thinking. She had already walked towards the next bed, ready to help another person with his legs.
This time, Lin Er's legs were used.
"Youning!" Huo Qingchen called out to Yu Youning.
Yu Youning turned around curiously and asked, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"
Huo Qingchen swallowed quietly, trying to make his voice calmer. "It suddenly occurred to me that the Crown Prince might need my help, so I want to...go over there first."
"So that's how it is!" Yu Youning suddenly understood and nodded, "Then go ahead!"
Huo Qingchen didn't expect Yu Youning to be so easy to talk to. He felt relieved and turned around to run away.
But just as he turned around, he heard Yu Youning's voice again.
"Then when will you come back? Will you still help me pass the knife?"
Huo Qingchen didn't even turn his head and suddenly increased his pace.
"I'm not coming back. Find someone else to pass the knife to you."
The imperial physician immediately came forward, bent over, hunched over, with a smile on his face, "Youning, let me help you pass the knife!"
