Fortunate Young Gentleman

While Shopkeeper Xu was asking Peng Chen about the specific situation tonight, there was a noise outside the door.

Tang Ning looked at the door and saw Fang Hong walking in with a tired face.

It was late at night, and he didn't know why Fang Hong came here. Tang Ning walked up and asked, "Master Fang, what's wrong?"

"The condition of Concubine Shu is getting worse." Fang Hong looked at him and said, "The imperial physician is helpless. I still want to ask Tang Jieyuan to go to the palace to take a look. After all, you are the junior brother of Doctor Sun..."

If it was just an ordinary person, Tang Ning would have no way, but human life is at stake, and it's just a matter of walking a few more steps. He would not shirk his responsibility.

But the affairs of the royal family are different.

If something happened to Concubine Fang Shu, it would never be something that one person or one family could bear.

But being able to find this place means that this is Fang Hong's last glimmer of hope.

Tang Ning looked at Fang Hong's haggard expression, and Fang Xiaopang's face also appeared in his mind.

Although he didn't know much about medical skills, his knowledge in some aspects was indeed not comparable to that of the imperial physicians in the palace.

If he could see something, he would tell the truth. If he didn't understand or was unsure, he wouldn't say a word.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Fang Hong and nodded, "Okay."

A smile appeared on Fang Hong's tired face, and he said, "Thank you Tang Jieyuan first. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the palace to ask His Majesty, and then send someone to pick you up here."

Tang Ning nodded. Fang Hong had something on his mind, so he left in a hurry without saying a few words.

When Tang Ning sent him out, he saw a group of people wearing armor and holding weapons hurriedly passing by on the street. It seemed that there were two people carrying one person. The man's screams were very shrill, piercing the eardrums.

Not knowing what happened, he shook his head and walked back.

Unexpectedly, the public security under the feet of the emperor in the capital was just like that...

...

There were many powerful officials in the capital, and big figures were everywhere. There was never a lack of major events, and naturally there was no lack of new things.

A fourth-rank official was only wearing a loincloth at night and was dragged out of a brothel by his wife; a certain official was caught keeping a concubine and staged a fight between his wife and his mistress in the street; a certain young master of the Tang family paid a lot of money to buy a poem but was slapped in the face, and a certain son of the Marquis of Wu'an had his leg broken in the middle of the night... These can all become the topic of conversation among the people after dinner.

In a breakfast shop on the street, a diner ate a bun and said in surprise: "Who is so bold that he dares to attack the son of the Marquis of Wu'an on the street in the capital?"

The breakfast stall owner shook his head and said: "I didn't see anyone, but I heard the screams of the son of the Marquis of Wu'an. It was so creepy at night..."

"It's strange if it's not creepy. Try to have your leg broken by someone. I heard the doctor who broke the door last night say that Xu Shou's leg is useless..."

Tang Mansion

Tang Zhao had just gotten up and put on his clothes. He looked at Liu Li who was waiting outside and said with some difficulty: "What did you say? Xu Shou's leg was broken. Who did it?"

"I don't know who did it. It was night and the man was masked..." Liu Li looked at Tang Zhao and said, "Second Young Master, it doesn't matter who did it. What matters is who we want to do it..."

Tang Zhao glanced at him and asked, "What do you mean?"

Liu Li stepped forward and whispered, "Second Young Master, yesterday at Tianranju, Xu Shou and that person..."

Tang Zhao looked at him and asked, "Is this true?"

"I was there last night." Liu Li looked at him and said immediately without waiting for Tang Zhao to speak, "Second Young Master, don't worry. I know how to arrange this matter. I'll go to Wu'an Marquis' Mansion to see Xu Shou..."

Tang Zhao thought about it, smiled, and said, "I'll wait for your news."

...

Wu'an Marquis' Mansion.

After a night, the shrill screams in the mansion had turned into painful low moans.

An old man with white hair and beard walked out of the room, looked at a middle-aged man and said, "My Lord, please forgive me for being unable to treat the young master's injury. Even if he can recover, that leg is useless."

The middle-aged man looked at him and said expressionlessly, "Next."

The old man sighed, shook his head and left.

Another doctor walked into the room.

A middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper came up and said, "My Lord, why don't you send a letter to the palace and ask the imperial physician to treat the young master."

"The Concubine Shu is ill, His Majesty is furious, and all the imperial physicians have been summoned to the palace. Isn't it asking for trouble to disturb His Majesty at this time?" The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, looked at the young men opposite, and asked, "What happened last night? Why would someone do such a cruel thing to my son for no reason?"

Several people looked at each other and shook their heads.

"We just went to Tianranju for dinner last night, and we didn't offend anyone."

"Could it be an old enemy?"

"It's very likely..."

As they were discussing, a voice came from behind.

"As for whether we offended anyone..." A figure walked in from outside and said, "There is indeed one."

Everyone looked at Liu Li who walked in, and after thinking for a while, he finally seemed to realize something and said, "You mean..."

The middle-aged man's face darkened and asked, "Who!"

...

"What, Xu Shou's leg was broken?" Tang Ning looked at Li Tianlan in surprise and asked, "Where did you hear that?"

Li Tianlan didn't answer him, but looked at him and asked, "Did you have a conflict with Xu Shou at Tianranju last night?"

Tang Ning looked at her, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "You don't suspect that I did this, do you?"

He shook his head and said: "It's really not me, I haven't had time yet..."

"I don't suspect you." Li Tianlan looked at him, shook his head, and said: "I hope there won't be any trouble."

It turned out that the person who screamed last night was Xu Shou. It is true that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil. Doing bad things will be punished, but I didn't expect his retribution to come so quickly.

Not knowing which hero did it, Tang Ning gave him a few thumbs up in her heart and stopped thinking about it.

Whether Xu Shou's leg was broken or not, who broke his leg had nothing to do with him. Fang Hong would send someone to pick him up to the palace soon. He didn't say what disease Concubine Fang Shu had, and he didn't know what the situation was in a while...

When he thought of this, a noisy sound suddenly came from downstairs.

"Where is Tang Ning?"

"Hurry up and get him out!"

...

Tang Ning heard the noise downstairs, and went downstairs with Li Tianlan. They saw a few more constables in the Hongxiu Pavilion, and Manager Xu was explaining something to them.

The constable waved his hand and said, "If you have anything to say, go to the yamen and tell the county magistrate."

Tang Ning went downstairs and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

The constable looked at him and asked, "Are you Tang Ning?"

Tang Ning nodded, "I am."

"We suspect you are related to the case of the assassination of the son of the Marquis of Wu'an last night." The constable stepped forward and said, "Come with us."

Peng Chen stepped forward and stood in front of Tang Ning. Tang Ning patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. This case has nothing to do with me. I'll explain it clearly when the time comes."

The girls in the pavilion also looked at him with concern.

Shopkeeper Xu stepped forward and said anxiously, "Young Master..."

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the county government is a place that abides by the law, they won't do anything to me."

A constable twitched his lips when he heard this, and soon relaxed.

Tang Ning looked at the constable in front of him and asked, "Are you sure you want me to go back to the county government with you?"

The constable took out a piece of paper and shook it in front of him, saying, "The county government document is here, how can it be fake?"

"Okay." Tang Ning nodded and said, "I'll go with you."

Seeing this, the constable didn't say anything more, and didn't use things like iron chains or shackles.

The identity of scholars is special after all, and they can't do too much before the case is confirmed.

Tang Ning looked back at Shopkeeper Xu and said, "If someone comes looking for me later, tell them I went to the county government office."

Li Tianlan stepped forward and said, "I'll go with you."

"No need." Tang Ning shook his head and said, "I'll just go with them and be back soon."

After that, he walked out of the Red Sleeve Pavilion, and the constables followed him out.

The old beggar took a sip of wine, burped, and sighed, "You've done this yourself, and you can't live..."
