Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile
Chapter 41: Reminder from the Purple Envoy
He didn't want to endure such torture and wanted to commit suicide immediately.
However, his actions were insignificant in the eyes of the martial arts masters. With a "click" sound, his jaw was removed. His desire to die was also a pipe dream.
"Take him away and interrogate him strictly."
"Yes, Your Excellency the Purple-Robed Envoy." The embroidered-robed law enforcer behind him bowed and responded, then dragged the old doctor out.
Logically, the arrival of the Embroidered Uniform Law Enforcement Officers meant that everyone was safe and should be relieved. However, Chu Ci noticed that everyone was even more nervous than before.
Chu Ci's broken-down brain finally started to work again. Could these people be characters similar to the Jinyiwei?
As expected, Mr. Fan was immediately asked to leave. Chu Ci had no idea of the specific content of the conversation. But immediately afterwards, an embroidered law enforcement officer who was proficient in medical skills took the pulse and bandaged everyone present again.
Among them were grocery store owners and civilians who were accidentally injured.
They act rigorously and have strict discipline. Could it be that I guessed wrong? Chu Ci couldn't help but frown.
"Greetings, gentlemen." The mayor bowed respectfully, but in his heart he felt unlucky. With such a big thing happening, he didn't know if he could continue to be the mayor.
He secretly looked at the purple-robed envoy, and saw that his face was stern and his eyes were sharp, making people dare not look directly at him. The embroidered-robed law enforcers behind him all had serious expressions and were imposing.
The mayor's heart trembled, and he wanted to hide himself. Unfortunately, he didn't have the ability to do so. What was supposed to come finally came.
"Are you the mayor of Ping'an Town?" The purple-robed envoy's voice was cold and low.
"That's right. I'm Zhu Lei. I took over the position of mayor of Anping Town three years ago. Ping'an Pharmacy was established here six years ago and usually does many good deeds. I really didn't know how that kind-looking old doctor could be such a cruel and crazy person?" Zhu Lei started talking non-stop as soon as he came up, wishing he could shirk all his responsibility.
Little did he know that the more he acted like this, the more offensive he became. Chu Ci felt that it was going to be bad, and sure enough, the purple-robed envoy got angry on the spot, and the embroidered-robed law enforcement officer below immediately kicked the mayor. "Answer whatever I ask you, understand?"
"I understand, I understand." Zhu Lei no longer dared to play any tricks and hurriedly agreed.
At this point, the purple-robed envoy slowly asked, "Tell me what you know. Besides the doctor, does he have a wife, sons, and daughters? Who do he usually interact with?"
"His name is Wang Hai, he is probably in his fifties, he has no wife or children. As for the people who come and go on weekdays, they are probably mostly hunters from the mountains..." Before Zhu Lei finished speaking, he was interrupted by the subordinate beside the purple-clothed envoy. "Yes, yes, no, no, what do you mean by should? Think it over before answering."
"This is my cousin's guess. The clinic always has prey. Once, he got up early and saw someone released a wild rabbit at the back door and left." Zhu Lei was so scared that he almost wet his pants, and he told everything he knew without hesitation.
"Uncle, who is it? Bring the person here." The purple-robed envoy's words were still concise. For some reason, Chu Ci sensed a hint of urgency in his words.
In fact, Chu Ci's feeling was right. After leaving the capital, the emperor issued a strict order. It is imperative to find out the real reason why the Tatars were active in Huainan. In addition to him, the purple-robed envoy, another purple-robed envoy also arrived.
"It's me. I'm the owner of the grocery store next door. What the mayor said is true. I saw it with my own eyes." The owner of the grocery store still had a wound on his arm, but he didn't dare to be negligent. He knelt down and answered respectfully.
The young man at the side was worried that something had happened to his father, and added anxiously: "After learning that they were Tatars, I wanted to report the news. But these people wanted to kill me to silence me. My father was injured just to save me. So I didn't dare..."
The boy's voice became increasingly quiet, as if filled with guilt.
He is really a child. Even when encountering such a thing, he is not afraid. Instead, he is full of passion.
The Purple-Robed Envoy looked at his subordinate outside the door, and when he nodded, he knew that the father and son were not lying. But this way, the clue was broken.
They had searched the clinic thoroughly, but apart from some daily necessities and medicinal materials, they did not find anything suspicious.
Could it be that An Qi was not lying? Should I give it a try myself?
After hesitating for a while, the purple-robed envoy finally walked to Chu Ci's side and asked Fan Jingrui: "Master Fan, can you ask grandma for a favor?"
Fortunately, Fan Jingrui did not make the decision on his own, but turned to look at Chu Ci: "My lady, is it okay? Don't worry, don't feel pressured, after all, it is something that even Master Zi Yi can't do anything about."
After these words came out, the purple-robed envoy's face was indeed not very good, but since he had to ask for help, he could only bear it. "That's exactly what I meant. Please rest assured, Madam Fan."
Things have come to this point. If Chu Ci refuses, he will seem ungrateful.
Chu Ci was also straightforward. He searched the bed, the beams, the kitchen, the medicine cabinet, the door cracks, and even the two drugstores next to each other. This time, the trouble was not in vain.
Chu Ci acted very quickly, and carefully searched the bed, the beams, the kitchen, the medicine cabinet, the door cracks, and even the two houses next to the drugstore. This search was not in vain.
The gold hidden in the beams, the sharp knife in the kitchen stove, the list in the mezzanine of the pharmacy, and a note in the crack of the door were all found one by one.
The most interesting thing is that Chu Ci found a tunnel in the toilet, and the old doctor actually dug out the entire yard.
In order to save his life, Chu Ci did not go deeper into the tunnel, but Zi Yi's unconcealed smile when he performed the exercise showed that he had gained a lot.
The Purple Envoy didn't want such a useful person to have any mishaps. So he added one more sentence, reminding her: "There is something wrong with your body. If possible, please ask the great doctor Hua to help take a look!"
"Miracle doctor? Master Hua?" This was another person she had never heard of.
Sure enough, there are differences between novels and reality. In the future, she should try to avoid using the plot of the original book to apply to real people.
Chu Ci would not turn a blind eye to the kindness of others. "Thank you, I'll try my best."
After that, the Purple Envoy said nothing more, said hello to Mr. Fan, and left with the evidence, leaving only a carrier pigeon.
Chu Ci and his companions were once again exiled. It was then that Chu Ci discovered that Chu Xiaxiong had a broken arm, and Chu Junyi had no scars on his face, but his pale face showed his weakness. The number of males in the Liu family had even decreased by half.
The two families were now in a state of disarray. However, among the wounded, there was one person whose clothes were intact—Chu Ling'er. This seemed particularly abrupt.
