Dingbei Hou's doctor brother

Su Chengfeng was surprised. "Are you serious? You... General Yang really has a solution?"

Yang Zhounan casually looked at the torture instruments on the table in the corner and said calmly, "The person hasn't arrived yet. Now we can only wait."

After a while, Captain Li came in, sword in hand, and said, "General Yang, the time has come. Please move on."

The person he was waiting for didn't show up, but he was urged by someone. These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Su Chengfeng's heart.

His feet felt like they were tied with heavy stones and he couldn't move a step. He just felt someone pulling him out.

Watching Lu Ziqing being dragged back by the jailer, Su Chengfeng suddenly had the idea of ​​breaking into the prison.

He shook off the hand that was holding him and turned around, but was suddenly grabbed again.

Yang Zhounan stared at him and leaned closer, with a hint of warning in his voice.

"What do you want to do? Prison break? This is the East Factory prison. If you want to survive, be obedient and don't act rashly."

Be honest and obedient?

Is it just watching Lu Ziqing’s hand being chopped off?

Su Chengfeng could never do that. He would see his brother imprisoned and remain indifferent. Even if it meant he would be torn to pieces, he would still fight to the death.

But then he thought again, since he was alone, it didn't matter what happened, but what about Lu Ziqing? He still had unfulfilled wishes.

On the way back to Beijing from the Northern Expedition, Su Chengfeng acted impulsively and recklessly once, but Xiao didn't take it too seriously.

Now that I am in the capital, just as what Mr. Yang said, the East Factory Prison is not a place where you can take people away just by having force.

He weighed the pros and cons, and gradually pulled his previous toughness back into the haze of reality, and replaced it with...

"...No, I'll go take his place, you let go of your hand."

Hearing this, Yang Zhounan's face turned even uglier. Instead of letting go, he held on even tighter.

I knew this guy was arrogant and rebellious, but I didn't expect him to be so stubborn.

The nameless anger in his heart gradually grew, and he spoke in a voice that only Su Chengfeng could hear.

"Want to change his hand? Don't even think about it, get out first!"

Su Chengfeng gritted his teeth and shook off Yang Zhounan, "This is my business, please don't stop me, General Yang."

No subordinate in the military camp dared to ignore Yang Zhounan like this, but because there were so many people around, it was not easy to get angry in public.

He took a deep breath, calmed his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Come with me first, I will ensure that the young doctor is safe."

This sentence was like a reassurance. After Su Chengfeng took it, his expression immediately relaxed a lot.

He looked at the calm man in front of him and unconsciously chose to believe him again.

Su Chengfeng walked out, his eyes fixed on the interrogation room, but before he had gone far, he heard Yang Zhounan's voice.

"You came."

He turned his head immediately upon hearing the voice and saw Xiao Yan and a eunuch coming towards him.

The eunuch walked straight past them into the interrogation room. It was unknown what he said to the people inside, but Captain Li immediately opened the chains.

Xiao Yan walked up to Lu Ziqing without saying a word, just helped him sit down, then looked at Captain Li and asked.

"Where is the stolen goods?"

Captain Li asked someone to bring the yellow paper package and spread it out in front of everyone.

The situation was urgent before and Chi Musheng didn't see it clearly. Now that he looked closely, he felt that the yellow paper package looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then his mind suddenly became clear. He hurried forward, took the paper package in his hand, and turned it over and over to check carefully.

Even though the paper package was crumpled, Chi Musheng could recognize the marks on it. They were fingerprints stained with toad mucus that he had left unintentionally.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Yan asked, "Did Doctor Chi come up with something?"

"That's right." Chi Musheng turned to look at everyone and said, "I've seen this paper bag before, and I've even taken it."

"What do you mean?" Su Chengfeng asked suspiciously, "Have you taken it?"

Chi Musheng said, "In the afternoon, Doctor Wang called Ziqing back to the Imperial Hospital. I was worried, so I ran back with him. When I was on my way to the palace's inner guard room, I accidentally bumped into Lu Quan. This paper bag fell from him. I came back in a hurry, and I didn't have time to wash the toad slime on my hands. Look..."

He pulled out the fingerprints on the paper and said, "These are the fingerprints I got when I was picking up the paper bag. Although the marks are light, you can still smell the fishy odor of toads."

Lu Ziqing was not surprised by this result. Instead, he had the illusion that his doubts had been solved. He was just lucky that he was not harmed this time.

Xiao Yan looked at Captain Li and said in a deep voice, "Arrange someone to bring Lu Quan to the East Factory for interrogation."

"Yes, my lord," said Captain Li.

It was almost dark, and the guards from the Eastern Depot rushed to the Imperial Hospital, but were told that Lu Quan was on duty in the inner palace tonight.

The group entered the inner duty room again, but did not see Lu Quan. They only saw Doctor Sun. According to him, Lu Quan had not come to the inner duty room since the afternoon.

The guards from the Eastern Depot rushed to the residence of Doctor Wang and Lu Quan without stopping, but still could not find Lu, only Doctor Wang.

At this point, Lu Quan was wanted by the whole city. Until the next day, the guards of the East Factory caught him in a small tavern and took him back to prison.

After receiving the news, Lu Ziqing went to the prison with Xiao Yan during lunch break.

Doctor Wang couldn't stand the fright and confessed before the interrogation even started. He said that all the matters were led by Lu Quan alone, and he was responsible for leading Lu Ziqing back.

When Lu Quan was taken to the interrogation room, he had no idea that Doctor Wang had betrayed him and still acted like a victim.

There were bloodstains on his face, but he was still trying to make excuses.

"Just because you say it was me, does that mean it was me? I'm a royal physician, why would I ruin my career for a mere trainee? What good would that do me?"

These words made Xiao Yan's face change suddenly, but Lu Ziqing was concentrating on staring at Lu Quan and did not notice.

He approached the torture rack, his eyes seemed colder than the torture instruments here.

"Doctor Wang has already betrayed you. There's no need to quibble."

Upon hearing this, Lu Quan narrowed his eyes and paused, but he was not too surprised. Instead, he seemed to be admitting defeat with self-deprecation.

"I knew this old guy was unreliable. It's my fault for being careless and trusting him."

He actually knew in his heart that once the truth was revealed, the man surnamed Wang would definitely give him up, and in this way, the Imperial Medical Service would have one less competitor in the future.

At this point, there is nothing to hide.

Lu Quan stared at Lu Ziqing, snorted coldly, and said, "Yes, it was me who did it."

"Very good, you dare to admit it." Lu Ziqing said, "I have always strictly abided by the rules since I came to the Imperial Hospital, obeyed the orders of the masters, and never dared to complain. I just can't understand why you are making things difficult for me and not tolerate me at all."

Lu Quan looked like he had just heard a joke, with a look of contempt on his face.

"Is this a question for you? You're a lowly itinerant doctor, and you're dreaming of climbing up the social ladder by clinging to the rich and powerful. What gives you the right?"

Lu Ziqing was a little surprised. He had always thought that because of his low status, he would at most not be liked by others and would be maliciously bullied.

I never thought that this would bring me death.

He sneered and said, "As you said, I am of the lowest class in your eyes. How can my humble status affect you? Why would you be so deliberate in trying to harm me?"
