Chapter 260: Can the arm twist stronger than the thigh?
Hearing this, Tian Lao Er looked up at Doctor Liu, then looked at Song Yanxi who was standing next to him, and quickly shook his head.
The repeated "I don't know" made me feel guilty and helpless.
Tian Shitou tugged at his sleeve and said in a muffled voice, "Second Uncle, please stop talking. The princess is not stupid."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Tian Laoer didn't dare to say a word.
Tian Shitou thought that his uncle didn't hear him because he was too quiet, so he quickly raised his voice and said, "Uncle, please stop talking..."
"Pa!" Tian Laoer couldn't bear it anymore and slapped him hard on the back of the head.
He turned around and glared at Tian Shitou, cursing, "Damn it, no wonder my sister-in-law calls you stupid all day long, you really are so stupid that you can't breathe."
Seeing him raise his hand to hit, the people beside him hurriedly stopped him and advised: "Second brother, calm down. The child is not smart to begin with. What will happen if you hit him and make him stupid?"
"If Sister Huaihua knew about this, wouldn't she chase you and scold you all over the street?"
When he heard the word "Huaihua", Tian Laoer decisively withdrew his hand and said sullenly: "I won't hit you. Go back and let your mother deal with you."
When Tian Shitou heard this, he immediately became dispirited.
He sniffed and said aggrievedly, "If mother knew that I lied to the princess, she would definitely break my legs."
Seeing that he was about to cry, Doctor Liu glared at Tian Lao Er and said, "What are you afraid of? You won't be the only one to be beaten anyway."
When Tian Shitou thought of his mother's anger and her ruthless attitude, he suddenly no longer felt wronged.
The eyes were shining, as if he was very happy.
Tian Laoer bit his back teeth and his hands started to itch again.
Doctor Liu slapped his hand away and urged, "Hurry up and stand up and take out the booklet in your hands."
The five people instantly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Even Tian Shitou, who is chubby and has a pair of round eyes like white buns, has facial features that seem to have aggressive power.
They just waited for the order and then rushed towards Song Yanxi together.
Doctor Liu was furious and rolled up his sleeves to take action, but Song Yanxi stopped him.
She said directly, "Since you have the list in your hands, this must not have happened overnight. I think it has been going on in secret for a long time."
Seeing that no one objected, she continued in a deep voice, "It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. No one would go to a tiger mountain knowing there is a tiger there and seek trouble for themselves.
Unless this matter has truly caused you pain.”
Song Yanxi's gaze fell on the man in the middle and asked, "The uncle and nephew of the Tian family are here for Zhuang Zhuang's father, what about you?"
Since moving in, this person has never spoken a word. His eyes are filled with depth, and it is obvious that he has a secret.
After a secret check, I found that this person has a clean background.
She had no intention of prying into other people's privacy, and after knowing that he was not a spy from the Liang State, she did not pay much attention to it. However, she did not expect that Old Liu would play a trick on her.
With the old man's keen sense, it is impossible that he was not aware of it.
If she hadn't mentioned it today when mentioning Lin Tingfeng, how long would he have kept it a secret from her?
Doctor Liu, standing by, felt a chill on his back and rubbed his arms hastily, saying, "I've already told the princess everything. There's no need to hide anything."
The man immediately became furious and clenched his fists, demanding, "Mr. Liu, you clearly promised to keep this a secret for us!"
Doctor Liu didn't answer but asked, "What did I say at the time?"
The man stopped talking for a moment.
Doctor Liu said, "Shi Tou, you speak."
Tian Shitou looked around and said truthfully, "You said you would see to it."
After these words were spoken, the expressions of the five people, including him, became even uglier.
If anyone else had said this at the time, they would not have dared to take such a risk and entrust their own lives and even their families' property to the cause.
Just because he was Doctor Liu, they were willing to believe him.
And now, he actually sold them out?
Tears welled up in Tian Shitou's eyes, and his lips trembled as he said, "Mr. Liu, you, you can't..."
Seeing his stubborn and incomprehensible appearance, Doctor Liu became even more angry and asked with a frown, "Let me ask you, why are you willing to risk your own life to collect the names of those 300 people?"
Tian Shitou clenched his fists, "Of course it's to avenge them!"
He spoke so quickly that Tian Laoer didn't even have time to cover his mouth.
Doctor Liu nodded and asked, "We're both testing drugs, but they clearly offer better conditions. Why don't you go?"
Tian Shitou hesitated now. He turned his head to the left to look at his second uncle, then to the right to look at his brother Qingshan, and dared not speak anymore.
Qingshan clenched his fists and said with a firm mind, "We think Princess Yong'an is not a bad person."
Song Yanxi nodded in understanding and asked, "Just because I'm not a bad person doesn't mean I'm a good person, nor does it mean I'll cover up for you. Is that why you don't dare to tell the truth?"
Several people nodded in unison.
Tian Laoer was almost crying. "This kind of thing can cost you your life. If you're not careful, the whole family might lose their lives too."
Catching the intense fear in his eyes, Song Yanxi suddenly had a bold guess in her mind.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard Doctor Liu urge her, "If you have anything to say, say it now. It won't look good if people find out."
Several people looked at each other, hesitating.
When it comes to the lives of yourself and your family, anyone would choose to act with caution.
Song Yanxi could understand, but she didn't have that much time to waste with them.
She said directly, "Since you have chosen to believe in me, whether you have the booklet or not, I will do my best to protect you.
I can also pretend that I never knew anything about what happened today."
They breathed a sigh of relief and were about to kowtow in gratitude when they heard her continue, "Just one thing. After today, I will no longer interfere with the list, and you should not mention it again."
In case they didn't understand, Doctor Liu explained kindly, "It means that no matter whether you report to the prince or risk your life to go to the capital to file a complaint, the princess will turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it."
Several people kowtowed and said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Princess!"
"Don't thank me yet."
Doctor Liu smiled cryptically and asked quietly, "Can you hand the list to the prince, or survive to go to the capital to file a complaint?"
Ignoring their grim expressions, he continued, "The slightest movement over there scared you all into hiding. Do you really think you can twist your arm against your thigh?"
Song Yanxi coughed lightly, signaling him to be more restrained in his words and consider their feelings.
Anyone with a bad temper present would be pissed off by one sentence after another.
Doctor Liu snorted coldly and said angrily, "Why are you speaking for them? Can't you see that these people are using you as a pawn, wanting to see His Royal Highness Prince Jin through you but refusing to tell you the truth?
I've lived for so many years, and I've never seen anyone who doesn't even tell the truth and instead wants others to take risks for nothing."
He looked at Qingshan and suddenly became even angrier. "If I had known that you were all idiots, why would I have dragged her into this mess?"
