Chapter 104 Being held hostage

The crowd watching at that time included men and women, young and old. He Yue led the yamen runners into the house.

There weren't many people, only about a dozen. As soon as He Yue and the others entered, someone came forward and asked, "What crime have we committed? Why are you locking us up here?"

"That's right, we were arrested just for watching. Do you officials still have any sense of law?"

They were noisy and emotional, and one of the guards drew his knife and shouted, "Quiet."

Everyone took a step back in fear when they saw the bailiffs draw their knives. He Yue looked at them and said, "Don't be afraid, everyone. Lord Guo has locked you up here for your own good. The two people you saw were poisoned, and the poison is contagious. For your own safety, please tell us truthfully whether you had close contact with them."

Someone asked, "What? A contagious poison? Is that true? I was just watching from a distance and didn't touch them."

"Yeah! There were people gathered there when I went there."

Someone pointed at the person sitting in the corner and said in panic, "He, he went to see those two people and even touched them."

Everyone including He Yue looked over. The man looked up with a pale face and difficulty breathing. "I, I just wanted to see if they were okay. I didn't do anything to them."

The man explained weakly. He Yue went forward to take his pulse and found wounds on his hands. He must have touched those two people and the germs entered their bodies.

He Yue hurriedly tore off their clothes, took out a syringe from her bag, and injected the medicine into his arm.

Everyone looked on curiously. He Yue stood up and looked at them. "Who else of you has had close contact with him?"

They all stepped back and shook their heads immediately, afraid of the needle in He Yue's hand, fearing they would die if they admitted it.

He Yue was speechless. She didn't have time to explain too much, so she just said, "If you want to live, you have to cooperate with me. No matter whether you have come into contact with those two people or this person, if they have been with you now, you may be infected with the virus. This virus is very strong. Those two people were too seriously ill and I couldn't save them. I don't know if they can survive. But if you don't cooperate and come to me when they are seriously ill, I won't be able to save them."

A woman came out with a little girl and said, "Doctor He, you are Doctor He. I will cooperate with you. That person gave my daughter food. Please check to see if my daughter has been poisoned."

He Yue comforted him, "Don't be afraid, let me take a look."

He Yue examined the little girl and said, "She hasn't been poisoned yet, but she has been in contact with him after all. To be safe, you all need to get an injection."

The woman nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to Doctor He. I trust you."

He Yue took out a disposable syringe from her bag and gave each of them an injection.

They all saw that the man was fine, but soon he became pale and weak sitting there. They had to believe it even if they didn't want to.

After all, no one wants to die! Knowing that He Yue is Doctor Mo's apprentice and is favored by the county magistrate, how could they dare to doubt it?

He Yue gave them all injections and ordered the yamen runners to carry the most seriously ill person to another room for observation.

Before leaving, He Yue said to the people in the room, "You just had an injection. For the sake of everyone else and your own lives, please stay here for the time being. We will let you go when you are fine. Please cooperate and understand."

Some people said, "Dr. He is so polite. He has done his best to take care of us. We should cooperate with him. We also want to thank him and trouble him."

Seeing that they were calm, He Yue felt relieved and said to the yamen runner, "Sir, please have someone prepare some tea and food for them. They are willing to cooperate, but you must not treat them unfairly and damage Lord Guo's reputation."

The yamen runner nodded and said, "Doctor He is right. I will arrange it right away."

They looked at He Yue with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Doctor He. Doctor He is such a good person!"

He Yue smiled and said, "No need to thank me, just wait patiently."

He Yue turned and left. Those who were cursing and those who were emotionally unstable stayed quietly in the room.

As soon as He Yue came out, she heard a noise in the backyard, as well as the voices of Guo Yulan and Lu He.

He Yue ran over in a hurry and saw a masked man holding Guo Yulan hostage, and several yamen runners were confronting him with knives.

Lu He was crying and saying, "Please let my lady go."

The man said, "I told you, give me that man and I will release your young lady. Otherwise, I don't know if your young lady's neck can be tougher than my dagger."

He Yue saw the dagger close to Guo Yulan's neck and said nervously, "Stop."

Guo Yulan saw He Yue crying, "Yue'er, you are here. It's great that I can see you before I die."

The man roared unhappily, "Stop crying! Give that person to me now, or I'll be rude to you."

He Yue thought of a torn piece of paper that fell from one of the two men when she was examining him.

She couldn't understand what was written on it, so she put it on the table in the examination room without thinking much.

You will see the masked man insisting on getting that person, probably for the piece of paper.

He Yue said, "Brother, does that person have what you want?"

The man was anxious and looked at He Yue, "Did you take it? Hand it over quickly. As long as you give it to me, I will let her go."

It would be inappropriate for He Yue to disappear immediately and go to the space to get it! She said, "I have seen it. If you let her go, I will tell you where it is."

The man sneered, "Humph! How can I trust you to give it to me if I let her go like this? So, take me to find her, and I'll let her go."

He Yue nodded, "Okay."

He Yue stepped forward without hesitation, and Guo Yulan cried and said, "Yue'er, no, you can't go."

He Yue approached the man and looked at him, "I'm here, let her go!"

The man glanced at He Yue, pushed Guo Yulan away and put the dagger on He Yue's neck.

Several yamen runners wanted to rush forward, but the man forced the dagger close to He Yue's neck.

He Yue felt pain. There was a small cut on her neck and some blood was flowing out.

Guo Yulan said nervously, "Don't hurt Yue'er. I'm warning you, if you dare to hurt Yue'er, I'll have my father tear you into pieces."

The man smiled and said, "Okay! Then let's see if you have the ability. You'd better not move, otherwise you will be waiting for her to collect your body!"

The man retreated holding He Yue. Guo Yulan looked at He Yue and did not dare to let the bailiff rush forward.

He Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Lu He, take good care of your young lady and don't let her run around."

Lu He and Guo Yulan both watched He Yue being taken away with tears in their eyes.

Seeing that no one was following, the man said, "Where is the thing? Give it to me quickly."

He Yue said, "I forgot about it because I was so nervous."

The man was angry and was about to interrogate He Yue when he heard many people chasing them. He knocked He Yue unconscious and carried her away.
