588: Chapter 599: Ministry of Justice Arrests People 588: Chapter 599: Ministry of Justice Arrests People Jin Ziyuan arrived, but he was not to be treated like an ordinary patient.
He said, “Never mind, just give so of the sa dicine as last ti, my old ailnt has flared up.”
Gu Youyou imdiately understood, hurriedly went to the inner courtyard to fetch him the dicine.
Fortunately, she had been locked up by her aunt a few days ago, which had allowed her to make quite a lot of it.
Gu Youyou gave him most of the dicine, and as she touched his hand, she noticed it was frighteningly cold, and quickly said, “Why don’t I take your pulse for you?
Your illness…”
“No need, the dicine will do!” Jin Ziyuan imdiately declined, handed her a bag of silver, and left Jisheng Hall with the dicine.
Upon closer inspection, she realized his complexion was even paler than before, and he spoke in a feeble manner, which made Gu Youyou genuinely worried.
She had no idea what he had encountered.
Lin Qianqing ca out from the backyard, saw Gu Youyou gazing blankly outside, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Gu Youyou ca to her senses and said in a low voice, “Nothing.
An old patient of mine seems to have gotten worse.”
“Oh.” Lin Qianqing didn’t think much of it and went back inside the inner courtyard.
Suddenly, soldiers barged into Jisheng Hall, blocked the entrance, and ruthlessly grabbed the Shopkeeper Hu, demanding, “Are you the manager here?”
Shopkeeper Hu had never encountered such aggression and was completely startled.
“Official, what…
what is this about?”
“I asked if you are the manager here.” The soldier raised his voice and repeated the question.
“Yes, I am!”
The man seed satisfied, took a breath of relief, turned his head to glance at soone beside him, and that person imdiately produced a scroll and said, “Do you recognize this person?”
Shopkeeper Hu adjusted his glasses and found the person in the portrait sowhat familiar, but…
after all, he was soone who had been around the block for many years and knew not to recklessly recognize soone, so he decisively shook his head and said, “I don’t know him.”
“Don’t know him?” The soldier was about to leave, but a curious old woman who was there for a consultation looked over and said, “Eh, isn’t this the man who just bought dicine from your store?
He insisted on seeing Doctor Gu.”
Shopkeeper Hu held his forehead, wishing he could smack that blabbermouth old woman.
Hearing the old woman’s words, the soldier beca enraged, threw Shopkeeper Hu onto a subordinate behind him, and shouted, “Tie up this dishonest old thing and take him to the Ministry of Punishnt’s Prison for interrogation!”
The old woman, knowing she had blurted out the wrong thing and caused trouble, slapped her own face and said, “Oh dear Official, you can’t bla Shopkeeper Hu for this.
That man did indeed co earlier to buy dicine, but he doesn’t quite match the person in the painting.
The young master in the painting looks neat and well-grood, but the man who ca earlier had a face full of whiskers.
It’s normal for Shopkeeper Hu, with his poor eyesight, not to have recognized him on the spot.”
Shopkeeper Hu, with shaky legs from fear, hurriedly added, “Yes, Official, my eyes aren’t what they used to be, I truly didn’t recognize him.”
Everyone else was frightened, and given the authority of the Ministry of Justice, no one dared to leave.
The soldier then said, “Call out your Doctor Gu.”
He hadn’t overlooked what the old woman had said, the criminal had specifically asked for Doctor Gu to see him.
Could there be a connection with this Doctor Gu?
Gu Youyou, hearing the commotion outside, had already co out with Lin Qianqing.
“What’s the matter?” Gu Youyou was quite surprised to see a group of officials blocking the entrance.
“Are you the Doctor Gu they’re talking about?” the soldier asked.
“I am!” Gu Youyou nodded.
“Seize her!” With Gu Youyou’s affirmation, the soldier imdiately commanded his subordinates.
