The following morning, at the Duke of Dingguo's residence.
As dawn broke, the maids and servants in the mansion had already gotten up and started their day's cleaning work.
A young maid, about twelve or thirteen years old, holding a broom in both hands, yawned, and half-closed her eyes as she walked out of the room to sweep up the leaves that had fallen in the backyard the night before.
Upon arriving at the backyard, the young maid, whose eyes were not yet fully open, kicked something and muttered, "A-Fu has thrown the basket around carelessly again. If Granny sees this, he'll get a beating again."
The little maid opened her eyes resignedly, wanting to help Afu tidy up the basket.
When she saw what was happening in front of her, her eyes widened instantly, and then she let out a scream that echoed throughout the entire mansion.
ah----! ! ! !
In the backyard, there were more than thirty corpses of men in black, their blood staining the bluestone slabs red.
......
Early in the morning, just as the people in Empress Dowager Wei's palace had finished packing and were preparing to leave for Wanfu Temple, a palace servant came to report.
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Dingguo requests an audience."
"Why is my brother here at Cixi Palace at this time?" Empress Dowager Wei murmured, then ordered, "Let him in."
A moment later, the Duke of Dingguo walked in hurriedly, knelt down and bowed: "Greetings, Empress Dowager."
"Brother, get up quickly. Why are you in the palace so early? Has something happened?" Empress Dowager Wei had a good relationship with her brother since childhood. Seeing that her brother looked unwell, she guessed that something had happened.
"Your Majesty, this morning, thirty-eight corpses were dumped in the backyard of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. They were all assassins we trained. Some were assassins sent to Yanyang, and some were assassins left in the capital." The Duke of Dingguo wiped the sweat from his forehead.
When he saw so many corpses dumped in the backyard, he was so frightened that his legs went weak.
Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Wei's face turned pale, and she collapsed onto the couch.
This was Xiao Yanchu's warning to her!
Xiao Yanchu really knew everything.
Empress Dowager Wei was in the palace, so it was inconvenient for her to keep assassins. She entrusted her brother with the entire responsibility, and whenever she needed to do something, she could ask her brother to send out assassins.
Now that Xiao Yanchu can send more than thirty assassins to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion without making a sound, it's as if he's directly telling Empress Dowager Wei that he knows her every move.
If she dares to lay a hand on Yi'er again, who knows whose corpse will be delivered next?
Wei Tai clenched her handkerchief and rubbed her temples: "Brother, this matter must not be made public. You should dispose of the body. I am going to Wanfu Temple to worship Buddha. Do not make any rash moves recently."
"I will obey the Empress Dowager's decree."
......
Su Ruojin, far away in Yanyang, naturally knew nothing of what was happening in the capital. She had been living a very leisurely life lately.
The clinic's business was getting better and better, so she had Zhihua buy the shop next door, doubled the size of the clinic, and hired more doctors to work there.
With more doctors available, she doesn't need to see patients often; she only needs to handle some difficult and complicated cases.
In her spare time, Su Ruojin would also teach the doctors at the clinic some acupuncture techniques.
Every doctor who sees Su Ruojin's acupuncture technique for the first time is shocked, and then admires her even more for her magnanimity.
Because she knew absolutely nothing to hide, she was completely open and forthcoming with her knowledge of medical techniques and methods, something few people could do.
Any doctor who has practiced medicine at Ren'ai Hall for a period of time will improve their medical skills.
Those with high comprehension and a willingness to learn and ask questions will make even faster progress.
Everyone started calling Su Ruojin "Mr. Su".
After Ren'ai Hall's reputation spread, people came almost every day to ask if they were recruiting doctors to practice there.
Those who study medicine in Yanyang consider it an honor to become a resident doctor at Ren'ai Hall.
Doctors who come from Ren'aitang can stand on their own anywhere, and are highly sought-after by various medical clinics.
