Chapter 44 Looking for Witnesses
The next day, Tang Xueyao got up early, disguised herself as a man, and took Ahua to the small casino privately set up by Duan Qiantao.

Ahua was still a little uneasy: "Princess, is this really feasible?"

This casino is full of ruffians and scoundrels. If they disagree with each other, they will easily get into disputes and even fight.

Tang Xueyao looked fearless: "We are here to find someone, and we are not really here to gamble. We should just go shopping, and we won't do anything to us."

As soon as she entered the gate of the casino, the noise inside suddenly invaded Tang Xueyao's hearing.

"I didn't expect these gamblers to come to the casino so early." Tang Xueyao said with emotion.

Ahua looked around vigilantly with his eyes: "It's not that they came early, but these gamblers have been here since last night."

Tang Xueyao felt emotional for a while. As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food. That's probably what it means.

"Come on, take a look! There is the latest gameplay here, and it's free for the first time!"

"Big pressure, big pressure, I will never lose this game!"

"How is this possible? You must be cheating!"

The casino was set up underground, with no air circulation. The sweat and feet of the people inside made Tang Xueyao feel dizzy and dizzy.

Tang Xueyao and A Hua shuttled nimbly among the crowd. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, they would stop at the gaming table from time to time, pretending to be spectators, and pointing at the game on the table.

Just wandering around until noon, Tang Xueyao's stomach was rumbling, but she still found nothing.

Ah Hua brought two bowls of wontons from nowhere, and the two just squatted in the corner of the casino and ate them.

"Princess, why don't we go back? At worst, we will rob the prison, and they will have nothing to do with us." A Hua already had the idea of ​​giving up.

Tang Xueyao waved her hand and said, "Wait a minute, according to Duan Qiantao's temperament, Wang Man's mother and son are definitely not the only victims."

While talking, Tang Xueyao suddenly saw a small commotion at the entrance of the casino from the corner of her eye, so she and A Hua quietly moved over to see what happened.

"Your house and land deeds have been mortgaged here, why do you dare to come?" A man with a stick in his hand and a man with a hideous scar on his face spat viciously on the ground, "Get out of here, get out of here quickly! In this idle time, why not consider how to redeem those things!"

The man on the ground had obviously been beaten, and he said with evasive eyes, "Please, don't fight, I will definitely win the last one, my mother is still waiting for the medicine..."

Before the words were finished, the stick in the scarred man's hand fell heavily again, and the man let out bursts of wailing.

If this continues, it is estimated that people will be killed.

Tang Xueyao was about to go forward, but Ahua stopped her: "Princess, don't do it, if you go rashly, I'm afraid we will get into trouble, this place is the most important thing to protect yourself."

Tang Xueyao noticed that the people around didn't care about the man's life or death at all, they were still busy with the gambling table, as if they were used to this matter.

After the man with the scar left, the man shivered in a corner.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Ah Hua went up to talk to him: "Big Brother, how did you end up like this?"

The man was startled, looked at A Hua with vigilance, and subconsciously covered his head with his hands.After confirming that the other party was not malicious, he dared to speak tremblingly.

"It's not that damned Duan Qiantao. If it wasn't for treating my mother, how could I believe Duan Qiantao's nonsense?"

Tang Xueyao and A Hua looked at each other, and they understood that the man in front of them was the one they were looking for.

"Isn't Duan Qiantao the shopkeeper of Shennongtang? I heard that Shennongtang's mission is to cure diseases and save people. How could they trick you into coming to this place? I'm afraid you are talking nonsense." Tang Xueyao pretended not to believe the man's words.

"Fuck!" The man was obviously very emotional, "He is a slut! Because we ask him for something, he wants to suck our blood and peel off our skin. His mouth can be said to be black. White."

"If you were given this opportunity to go to Shuntian Mansion to reveal his true face, would you be willing?" Tang Xueyao immediately revealed her purpose.

A trace of expectation flashed in the man's eyes, but it quickly disappeared: "Duan Qiantao has someone in Shuntian Mansion, if things fail, he will beat me to death..."

"I can guarantee you not to die." Tang Xueyao was unwilling to give up, "If you believe in me, follow me."

The man looked suspiciously at Tang Xueyao and A Hua back and forth, as if thinking about the credibility of Tang Xueyao's words.

After a long time, the man took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, my family's wealth is gone now, and I have nothing to lose except this life."

Tang Xueyao looked happy.

But the man's voice changed: "I only have one request, you cure my mother first, so that if anything happens to me, I can rest assured."

"Okay, I promise you."

With Tang Xueyao's promise, the man stood up and patted the dust off his clothes: "My house is at the corner of that alley on the corner of the street, follow me."

The man's home is not broken, as can be seen from the decoration, at least there is no need to worry about food and clothing.

The man smiled wryly and said: "We can only stay here until tomorrow, and Duan Qiantao will send someone to take this house away the day after tomorrow."

"That's not necessarily true." Tang Xueyao looked like she was sure of winning.

Tang Xueyao followed the man into the room, and saw an old woman about 80 or [-] years old lying on the bed, her eyes closed tightly, and she was already in a deep sleep.

"You go out first and close the door." Tang Xueyao ordered after getting a general understanding of the condition.

The man's eyes quickly became vigilant.

Ah Hua shouted outside the door: "Since we have agreed, you will not harm you. This is our doctor Tang's habit."

The man hesitated for a while, but went out anyway.

According to the man's description, his mother often had sudden joint pains at night, and even severe pain, edema, redness, and inflammation, which lasted for days or weeks.

Because of this, men have to seek medical advice everywhere.

But the disease recurred, and the man didn't want to see his mother suffering from the disease, and all the accumulated property was spent on buying medicinal materials.

Tang Xueyao conducted a whole-body examination on the old man with spiritual energy, and found that the pain in the old man's legs and joints was caused by rheumatism and blood stasis in the meridians.

This is considered a chronic disease, and Tang Xueyao can only use spiritual energy to remove dampness and stasis first, and then slowly recuperate.

After all this was done, it was sunset time.

The man walked back and forth anxiously outside the house, fearing that something might happen to his own mother.

Tang Xueyao pushed open the door and helped the old man who had woken up to come out.

The man's eyes were full of disbelief: "Mom?"

The old man looked at Tang Xueyao with gratitude: "My knee feels much better, please thank Doctor Tang soon."

The man fixed his figure and bowed to Tang Xueyao: "Tell me, in exchange, what do you want me to do?"
