Chapter 490 Medical Building
When the rain stopped, the first rays of morning light shone onto the pier.

The strictly-regulated Winter Prison is buried underground and has been operating under the security system of the Shenjing for nine years. Now that the victims have seen the light of day and with irrefutable evidence, the Taiping Cao Gang no longer has any protection.

Di Jiu, who was once famous for taking cases alone, is now sitting in a wheelchair, leaning over the desk and checking everything reported in the search report.

Pei Ye, who had bandaged the wound to stop the bleeding, leaned aside and asked, "Are there any fish that have slipped through the net?"

Di Jiu shook his head: "I've taught you to kill all the big ones, so just let the small fish and shrimps go."

He tilted his head and glanced at Pei Ye: "When I sent you here, I wanted to add a head to the Immortal Platform. I have no authority. Tong Jun only said that you can be of great use when necessary, but I didn't expect it to be this useful."

“Is it useful?”

"It works, it works." Di Jiu sighed softly, and seeing that the two of them had the same pale face and looked like sick ghosts, he couldn't help but laugh, "Although we both almost saw the King of Hell, it seems that I suffered less than you."

Pei Ye also laughed: "My true energy has not recovered yet, so I look weak. I will be much better in a few hours. But if you want to stand up and walk, I'm afraid it will take several dozen or even months."

"." Di Jiu lowered his head and flipped through the book, "The genius doctor at Taishan Medicine House said that he would be almost fully recovered within half a month."

Pei Ye tilted his head back and said "Oh", then paused: "Taishan Yaolu does have excellent medical skills, but the fees are too expensive."

"." Di Jiu looked at him strangely, "Are you short of money?"

"Living in Chang'an is not easy."

The two were chatting until a few clerks from outside the courtyard came in carrying the dock account books of Xitang. Several piles of books, like mountains, fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Di Jiu put down his pen and nodded with satisfaction: "There are many things to behold here."

Pei Ye's face changed slightly, and he recalled the memory of searching the account books in Xiangzhou City. He covered his arms and left, getting on the carriage that was waiting outside the yard.

The Taiping Cao Gang was too large an organization, and it would take two or three days to sort out the bones and veins from its corpse. Pei Ye planned to just stand aside and go directly to Xiuwenguan to ask for the results after two days of rest.

As for this moment, I really need to go to the clinic first.

Although he felt much better after his true qi recovered, that was based on his experience of fighting while seriously injured. Although the injury at this moment was not fatal, it was by no means light - for example, he could only hold the sword with his left hand for at least ten days.

Following Di Jiu's instructions, Pei Ye came to the East Street of the Xiuxing Square. As expected, the nearest Taishan Yaolu Medical Building was located here. It looked almost the same as Shaolong Mansion and was also on the seventh floor. Pei Ye walked into the lobby. The external injuries on his body were too conspicuous, so a doctor came to ask about him immediately and led him to the quiet room on the fifth floor.

It was still a reassuring environment. When the heavy wooden door was closed, there was only silence. There were no windows, and a few bright candles provided moderate light. After entering his name and taking a blood sample, the doctor asked him to wait, saying that he would soon arrange for a suitable person to treat him.

Pei Ye lay on the clean bed and waited quietly. He was already somewhat familiar with this special shape of bed. It was very comfortable to lie on and it was also very convenient to transfer certain parts of his limbs. Thinking about these thoughtful measures in every detail, he couldn't help but sigh at the staggering medical fee.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the door behind me was finally opened and a pair of light and clean footsteps walked in.

Pei Ye lay on his stomach and said in a muffled voice: "Doctor, can you give me a list of all the expenses here later?"

I'll give it to Xu Chuo or the three officials to pay him when the time comes, he thought.

Then the girl's calm voice sounded behind him: "You've been in Shenjing for more than ten days, but you're still so poor?"

Pei Ye's body stiffened and he slowly turned his head.

Behind him, Qu Xin was lowering his head to take out the needles. He was still wearing a simple light gray long gown, with his slightly parted hair tied up. His young, cold, and clean face seemed to be chatting casually. Pei Ye was silent for a moment, turned his head, and lay down on the bed again: "Why are you here?"

"You are my uncured patient, so I naturally followed you to Shenjing." Qu Xin washed his hands carefully and put on the cold hand clothes, "But I waited for you in the Shenjing Medical Building for ten days, and you didn't come back."

Pei Ye was stunned and opened his mouth. Then he remembered that he did not tell the girl when he ascended the Jade Sword Stage with his sword. Later, he came to Shenjing with injuries. After he was released from prison, he was almost recovered. He received medicine under the arrangement of Qi Zhaohua, but he never thought that she would follow him and wait in the medical building for ten days without knowing where he was.

I left the medical building as a patient, and should have returned to the medical building after finishing my business.

The young man was somewhat touched, but a little embarrassed, and said, "Then you don't have to run so far."

"No," Qu Xin said calmly, "You didn't return the medical room when you left Shaolong Medical Building. I gave you three more days, so I have to pay you another twenty-one taels of silver."

".Are you sick?"

Qu Xin came forward, waved his hand and filled a basin with water: "Take off your clothes."

Pei Ye took off his shirt in a sullen manner, revealing his flesh and twisted arms. He whispered, "The right arm is broken and shattered. There are two knife wounds on the abdomen and back, both deep and shallow, reaching the bone. There are also some internal injuries."

Qu Xin placed his cold hand on his back which was hot from injury, and spread gentle Qi throughout his body, while his other hand recorded the injury.

"So you happen to be in this hospital building?"

"No, they called me after they knew you were coming." Qu Xin said, "You are a person I have recorded. If you come to Taishan Medicine House with injuries in the future, I will be the first one to treat you."

".You seem a bit presumptuous."

"I don't keep records of every person I've treated, it's because your physique is rather special."

"What's so special about my physique?"

"It's easy to save."

"."

"And I get hurt all the time, and each time is different."

Pei Ye suspected that he heard a hint of satisfaction in her tone, but it was too late to question it, because soon the girl put a small pill to his lips. Pei Ye recognized it as it was used to numb patients before surgery. He opened his mouth and swallowed it, and soon fell asleep.

When I woke up again, all my wounds had been properly bandaged, and my body felt warm and comfortable. I must have taken something internally.

Qu Xin was boiling a pot of medicine while studying a medical book.

Even though it always made him roll his eyes, he had to admit that this girl's medical skills were simply miraculous. Pei Ye waved his right arm slightly, and he actually felt that he could hold a sword.

"After treating me, will you go back to Shaolong?" Pei Ye tilted his head.

"Well, there are some herbs from several states I want to see." Qu Xin didn't look up, "But I often go back to Shenjing. There are many difficult cases here, and people don't default on their consultation fees."

"." Pei Ye pretended not to understand, "If you want to go back to Shaolong, please bring me a letter."
