The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

Chapter 235 The Princess is Looking for Someone (7)

Not long after, a middle-aged man hurried in to report, "Sir, our people have confirmed that Master Zhu Ming has been in the temple and has never left. They have also confirmed that there is indeed a person who calls himself Master Zhu Ling. However, I went to the clinic and did not find this person..."

Seeing that he was hesitating, the county magistrate knocked on the table and said, "Why? Just tell me straight."

"Yes! Your Excellency... We didn't find the master in the clinic, and they wouldn't let us in to search."

"How dare you! You even dare to stop people from the government office?" The county magistrate looked at the calm woman in the hall and was unsure how confident she was.

Shen Yu spoke at the right time: "Sir, I have never seen Master Zhu Ming before. The name was told to me by the assistants in the clinic. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I was deceived. I just want to get back the silver that was cheated. If I have misunderstood Master Zhu Ming, I am willing to apologize in person. Otherwise, should I go to the hospital with the yamen runner to identify him? I believe that you are dedicated to the people and will not wrongly accuse any good person, nor do you want to let any bad person go."

The county magistrate frowned and went to search the store without any evidence...

Shen Yu seemed to understand what he was worried about and took the initiative to reassure him, "Sir, my wife and I are willing to take responsibility for this matter. We only ask that you give us a chance to find the liar."

Now that he had received the guarantee, the county magistrate said happily, "Then Constable Chen, you can come with us!" He was too lazy to care if someone wanted to use him to cause trouble, as long as there was a reasonable reason on the surface, it would be enough.

Shen Yu and his group went back without hesitation. One morning was enough time for Prince Zhuo's Mansion to verify the details of the clinic.

On the surface, this clinic was similar to what Nie Jing had reported. Although he had reservations, it was understandable. He was testing him anyway. Didn't he also want to see the strength of Prince Zhuo's Mansion?

Shen Yu was not a kind person. Would she trust anyone who came to her to seek refuge? Moreover, this person was a former mountain bandit who was suspected of being involved in the Su family tragedy?

Since he had gone to so much trouble to lure her here, this place must not be so simple. She didn't mind joining in, nor did she mind muddying the waters in Luo City. She could also clean up the scammer who was using her master's name. Why not do it?

When they returned to the clinic again, they were not surprised to see the yamen runners and the guards confronting each other. Everyone was just pretending.

She knew it. According to Wu Chen's information, all the clinics in the town were secretly controlled by a certain force, and the power of the county magistrate was basically hollowed out. He did nothing but did no evil either. This was also what Shen Yu knew about the basic situation of officials in Linyue State.

There are people behind every official position. They don’t seek merit but only avoid mistakes. The people are left to fend for themselves. They provide disaster relief when natural disasters occur and cover up man-made disasters...

Shen Yu described the Linyue Kingdom as a place full of demons and holes. Therefore, she had no intention of interacting with the rich and powerful and was only focused on living her own life.

"Excuse me, madam, what does this mean?" An old doctor, about fifty years old, looked honest and kind.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Shen Yu asked knowingly.

"Hmph! You brought people to our clinic to cause trouble, but you don't even know our Doctor Huang?" A young man in his twenties stepped forward from behind the old man and said indignantly.

"Yes! I came in to see a doctor this morning. I believe many people here can testify to this... I also want to ask you, why haven't I seen any doctor since I entered the store? Instead, they didn't ask the reason or see a doctor, but directly took me to the third floor, and then found a monk to read my face? I also want to ask, isn't this a clinic? Do you also accept private orders from temples?" Shen Yu asked seriously.

"Puchi!" Many people in the crowd couldn't help laughing. This lady's words were truly vicious.

In fact, the people were used to this kind of thing. Lingzhu Town was famous, and there were so many people who came here to see it. Many people died from these medical clinics, and it was not that no one came to ask for an explanation, but in the end, it was all left unresolved. But this did not stop them from wanting to watch the fun.

"You...we are a clinic here, you, don't talk nonsense, we..."

The young man was interrupted by the old man before he could finish his words. "I'm afraid this lady has misunderstood. Why bother alerting the government? Our clinic is open for business and we don't want to affect others. How about we go inside and discuss it?"

Shen Yu gave Wu Chen a look, and he stepped forward, "No need. My master told us before he left that our wife must not be wronged. Anyway, we have reported it to the authorities. Since we were deceived when we entered the clinic, you have no way to shirk responsibility! You must bear the consequences if you dare to deceive our wife of three thousand taels. The silver must be returned and the appraiser must be arrested! Since you are unwilling to hand over the fake monk, we will search it ourselves!"

After saying that, he took Nie Jing and rushed in, kicking the big man guarding the door open.

Shen Yu took Wu Liu with him and asked the yamen runners to follow.

The old doctor narrowed his eyes, but did not stop him. He whispered a few words to the person behind him, and that person left quickly and disappeared into the crowd.

Shen Yu walked in slowly as if she was walking in her own garden. She asked in a low voice, "Have you found the location?"

"Yes! It's under the dungeon in the middle of the garden! Our people have been searching for a long time and haven't let any one escape!" Wu Liu answered in a low voice.

Shen Yu nodded without saying anything, and followed everyone to a courtyard. She looked up and saw small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and corner buildings. It turned out that they were not short of money.

"Where are the people? Where are they hiding? How do we open the entrance below?" Wu Chen kicked the bruised guy.

He was extremely frightened. Ever since he was brought here directly, he knew that he would not survive. Even if this lady did not kill him, the master would not let him live. He just hoped that he would not implicate his family.

He shuddered and said, "I don't know. I'm not responsible for bringing the child in... I just know it's down here."

Constable Chen was completely stunned, "Child? What child? Aren't we here to find a monk?" There were also more than a dozen yamen runners who followed him. They never knew that there was an entire mansion behind these medical clinics?

Nie Jing kicked the woman and said, "I'm asking you, why do you want to catch these children?" She was the old woman responsible for delivering meals to the people below. On the surface, she was here to take care of the courtyard, but in fact, she was a guard.

After being kicked a few more times, the old woman could no longer hold back and said, "Sir, please stop beating me... I said, I captured the child... to test drugs..."

Everyone took a deep breath, damn it!

“What did you say!!” Nie Jing kicked the man hard, and the man flew several meters away. He vomited blood and fainted.

He accidentally discovered that this clinic could actually use children to pay for "medicine expenses"...

Some poor people would leave their children behind to pay off the debts after seeing a doctor, and human traffickers would sell the children to work in wealthy families.

He secretly observed for three days and found that the children only went in but not out, which attracted his attention... No one knew where the children who were left behind went, and he couldn't get into the backyard by himself.

I just didn't expect that it was actually a drug trial? It's so unscrupulous!!
