Because the doctor had just led a group of people to carry Young Master Ming into the clinic, a crowd of onlookers immediately gathered at the clinic entrance.
Watching a spectacle is something everyone enjoys. No matter the dynasty or time, whenever there's something exciting, a crowd will gather to watch. After all, you can entertain yourself without having to do anything yourself. What's more, you can tell those who haven't seen it about what you've seen, and being stared at with expectant eyes, constantly urging you to tell the story, is a very satisfying thing.
Zhang Zhaoci led Xu Di inside and saw that several servants had already blocked the door of the clinic, preventing anyone from entering.
Zhang Zhaoci craned his neck to look inside. Directly opposite the clinic's main entrance was a medicine cabinet, with a door next to it and a curtain hanging above it. He guessed this was the treatment room for treating injuries.
Everyone standing outside the clinic craned their necks to look inside, just like Zhang Zhaoci. They looked for a long time but there was no movement inside. However, the Ming family must have received the news. A steward-like person came over with several servants carrying a sedan chair.
Not long after, the person behind the curtain came out. The steward instructed people to put him on a sedan chair and carry him out. Zhang Zhaoci saw that the legs of the young master of the Ming family had been wrapped with wooden boards and white cloth, and several servants were carrying him carefully out.
Zhang Zhaoci was about to go forward to look when Xu Di grabbed her arm and gently shook his head. Zhang Zhaoci said anxiously, "If we don't expose it now, it will be difficult to overturn the case later."
Xu Di said softly, "You should just enjoy the show this time."
Xu Di had already noticed several people in the crowd who didn't look like ordinary people. These people had a different aura from the people around them. It was because Xu Di had been to the battlefield before and knew that these people carried a murderous aura. This was the blood energy left behind from fighting on the battlefield and killing enemies, which was different from the servants of the Ming family.
Those people had been following the young master of the Ming family ever since he was carried over by the people from the clinic. After they arrived, they secretly formed a fan shape around the clinic's entrance. Xu Di also noticed that someone quietly slipped away from the crowd, probably to go find someone.
After the young master of the Ming family was carried out, Xu Di saw a man in white brocade standing outside the crowd with his hands behind his back. Behind him were about a dozen people dressed in the same clothes, with the same temperament as the people in the crowd.
Xu Di guessed that this must be the eldest son of the Zhou family, that is, Zhou Yanran's older brother.
After Princess Longyu married into the Zhou family, she gave birth to three children: her eldest son, her second son, and her youngest daughter.
The eldest son, Zhou Yansong, received guidance from renowned teachers from a young age and became highly skilled in martial arts. Furthermore, because Zhou Yansong's maternal grandfather was Prince Cheng, the most trusted elder brother of Emperor Liang Cheng, he was greatly favored by Emperor Liang Cheng.
Zhou Yansong is a straightforward person. Such a person thrives in the military and has risen to the position of commander over the years, making him one of the top figures among the sons of meritorious officials in Beijing.
Although Xu Di was not often in the capital, he knew all the names and deeds of the famous young men in the capital. Although he had never met Zhou Yansong, judging from the people Zhou Yansong brought with him, and the fact that Xu Di had met Zhou Yansong's younger brother Zhou Yanbai at the horse farm in the suburbs of Beijing, the person in white brocade was most likely Zhou Yansong.
The young master of the Ming family was carried out of the clinic. After walking only a few steps, he saw Zhou Yansong standing on the street. The young master's face immediately changed. Now he regretted that he should have had someone send him back to the mansion in the first place. Instead, he went to find a doctor on the street so that more people could see him in public and bear witness. Now that he had encountered the eldest son of the Zhou family, the young master of the Ming family began to feel uneasy.
Zhou Yansong looked at the young master of the Ming family whose leg was wrapped up like a dumpling, sneered, and said, "Mingyu, I'll give you two choices. One is for you to stand up and walk home yourself, and the other is for me to break your leg and then go to your mansion to beg for forgiveness."
Mingyu, the young master of the Ming family, was caught in a dilemma. If he stood up and walked home, he would be ridiculed by everyone. But if Zhou Yansong really broke his leg, although his family would take the Zhou family to court before the emperor because of this, it would be difficult to force Zhou Yanran to marry into his family.
Seeing that Mingyu was still hesitating, Zhou Yansong raised his hand, and four men in tight-fitting clothes stepped out from behind him. These four men had cold expressions, and just looking at them made people feel scared. If they really started to fight, the servants he brought would probably not be able to handle them.
Mingyu knew that Zhou Yansong was truly angry. She jumped down from the sedan chair, bowed to Zhou Yansong, and didn't dare to say a word. She slunk away towards her own residence. The onlookers gasped in surprise, followed by heated discussions. They never expected to hear such a juicy story today.
Zhang Zhaoci stared in disbelief, grabbed Xu Di, and said, "Is that all?"
Xu Di laughed and said, "Of course, only absolute strength can sweep away all schemes and tricks."
Zhang Zhaoci shook his head and said, "Oh my, who is this young man? How come he's so amazing?"
Xu Di said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the eldest son of the Zhou family."
Zhang Zhaoci said, "Is this Miss Zhou's older brother? This brother is good. He is capable and resourceful. A young woman would feel more secure with a brother like this."
Xu Di said, "Our Xiao Jiu is not bad either. With me as her older brother and Xu Bai as her younger brother, she won't be bullied in the future."
