Chapter 184 Push Him
Xie Jiabao reacted quickly, 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 clinic in all of Beiguan Town. If there are still pursuers, they will probably find Pujitang soon even without the bloodstains as a guide.
Moreover, the Puji Hall had already closed its gates in broad daylight, which gave the impression that it was an attempt 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, after all, his family’s secret. If it is exposed now, it might harm himself in the future.
However, if there really were pursuers behind us, Li Gan and I would be on the same boat...
Moreover, the identity of this noble man in front of me was unknown to others, but I knew it very well. This person was the most favored by the emperor. Just because he was here, I couldn't just 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 bookshelf in the inner room. There was also a wooden door separating 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 the room, 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, so it would be 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 of Li Gan's larger wounds.
Li Gan was originally unconscious, but was awakened by the pain of stitching.
Fortunately, Li Gan quickly realized that he was being treated. So, he was saved? He looked again and saw that the noble man was also there. He felt relieved and 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 is kind and honest, thoughtful and considerate, as well as smart and clever. Doctor Wang is very confident in him.
Taking into account the problem of pursuers, you have to stay in the secret room for a few days.
Doctor Wang walked out of the study room with his cane and returned to the front with his eldest disciple. He thought for a moment and said to his eldest disciple, "If you want to survive, this is the only way to do it..."
The more the eldest disciple listened, the more he admired him. 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 cheapest medicinal materials, and moved them out one by one.
The house and the yard were filled with piles of stuff everywhere, so full that you couldn't see the end of it and there was almost no place to step.
Everyone was busy and cleaning up without complaint, when they heard a series of banging on the door, accompanied by shouts of "Open the door! Open the door quickly!"
Doctor Wang sent a eloquent waiter to run to the front of the gate and shout across the gate:
"The boss is closing the storehouse today. You should go to another clinic for treatment!"
The person knocking on the door outside 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 saying is sick?"
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 also 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 inventory! There are so many kinds of medicinal herbs. Can you afford to pay for them if they are damaged?
It is not easy to purchase this medicinal material, and the price is secondary.
If a patient's life is delayed because of 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:
"Woo woo woo! You are bullying me!"
While crying, he held 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 sullen face:
"We are currently doing inventory and clearing accounts. We are closed today! Why don't you go to another clinic? You are so lawless and unreasonable that you just smashed my door without saying a word. How can you be so unreasonable?"
The leader of the team was 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 trembled:
"Wait! If you want to search for the spy, I won't stop you! But what if you can't find him?
Besides, there are many porcelains, jades, calligraphy and books in my room, all of which were bestowed 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, clasped his hands together, and bowed:
"Old sir, I didn't mean to bother you here. But this spy is very important. 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 nimble! Move gently! The things in the 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 leaning on a cane, his face showing that he was trying his best to be patient, but his heart was in his throat.
Puji Hall was in chaos, even the women were alarmed, but the search turned out to be fruitless. The new captain's nephew left with his men, cursing.
At the same time, in the northwest corner of Beiguan Town, Xiao Lubuhua, riding on his beloved Qingcong horse, accompanied by a few of his men and a sedan chair carried by four people, was walking towards the city gate with a smug look on his face.
