Lin Zhengshan and Zhao Jiao exchanged a glance, a bad feeling rising in their hearts. He quickly changed his clothes and came to the gate of the government office.
A large crowd had already gathered at the entrance, pointing and whispering among themselves.
Three men lay at the entrance, their noses and eyes bruised and swollen, their mouths stuffed with rags, tied together and thrown at the entrance of the government office.
One of the men slowly opened his swollen eyes, saw Lin Zhengshan, and instantly widened his eyes, making a "woo woo woo" sound, as if asking for help.
Lin Zhengshan was startled when he saw his face clearly. Wasn't this Zhang Ren and the other two he had sent out?
Lin Zhengshan hurriedly ordered the yamen runners, "Quickly, take them inside."
Upon arriving at the yamen, Lin Zhengshan led the three to the backyard and removed the gag from Zhang Ren's mouth.
"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"
"Sir, we had just climbed over the wall into the backyard of the clinic when someone appeared out of nowhere and knocked us unconscious in a few moves. We didn't even get a good look at them."
Lin Zhengshan was stunned.
Had his plan been discovered by the other party?
But he had clearly inquired and found that the clinic did not have any guards.
Who exactly attacked Zhang Ren and his group?
However, since the other party was on guard, they could no longer make a move.
Zhao Jiao also became anxious: "Master, what should we do?"
Are we just going to let the Fire Spirit Ginseng go like this? That's worth ten thousand taels of silver!
Lin Zhengshan was also annoyed: "What else can I do?"
They can't possibly sue Su Ruojin, can they? After all, they have no evidence. Now that the robbery has failed, what else can he do?
Seeing that the duck that was about to be eaten had flown away, Zhao Jiao angrily cursed, "It's all because of this little bitch. I should never have brought her back in the first place."
Or maybe we should have just killed her back then.
At this moment, Cai Fanzhou, who was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms early in the morning, was also awakened by the servant's knocking on the door.
"Patriarch, Patriarch, the elders want you to go to the council hall for a meeting."
Disturbed from his sleep, Cai Fanzhou was a little annoyed: "These old geezers, can't they let people sleep?"
As soon as Cai Fanzhou arrived at the council hall, he saw the oldest elder of the Cai clan glaring at him angrily: "Cai Fanzhou, who exactly have you offended?"
Cai Fanzhou was completely bewildered.
Although he is the head of the family, he is still subject to the supervision and restraint of the clan elders. If he does anything that goes against the interests of the family, the elders can remove him from his position as head of the family.
"Elder, what has happened?"
"What happened? Hehe, Cai Fanzhou, you've only been the head of the family for a few days, and our Cai family's businesses have already been affected. We just received news from various places that the Business Alliance has officially notified all its affiliated chambers of commerce to terminate all cooperation with the Cai family."
The Merchant Alliance dominates the vast majority of industries in the Great Chu Kingdom; severing cooperation with the Merchant Alliance is tantamount to cutting off business.
Although the Cai family passed down their medical knowledge, it was impossible for all of their descendants to study medicine, especially since many members of the collateral branches were engaged in business elsewhere.
This action by the business alliance has effectively cut off the livelihoods of most of the Cai family.
Cai Fanzhou was also dumbfounded: "Elder, you know that I have been practicing medicine and saving lives, and I am not involved in any other business. How can this be pinned on me?"
“Patriarch Cai, now that you have taken on the position of patriarch, you naturally need to handle the affairs of the clan. I will give you seven days to negotiate with the Merchant Alliance to resolve this matter, otherwise you may resign from your position as patriarch.”
The elder clan leader flicked his sleeve and left with the others.
Cai Fanzhou was so angry that he smashed a teacup. These old bastards, all they do is eat and do nothing, and they always try to push the blame onto him.
He had no idea why the business alliance had stopped cooperating with the Cai family.
etc!
Cai Fanzhou suddenly thought of General Su...
