Your Majesty, Please Stop!

Chapter 129: The Head of the Family is Too Wicked

The hall was silent, with dozens of people sitting on the ground, enduring pain and feeling a mix of emotions.

The focus returned to "Jiang Facai" once again. No wonder he could see through this poison, but... he was powerless.

It seems that our lives are in danger now.

At this moment, Mr. Bai Pi seemed to remember something and said, "Oh? Although Su Apo is no longer here, her grandson must still be alive. Why don't you go find him and give it a try?"

Feng San Niang struggled to sit up straight and smiled bitterly, "To tell you the truth, the grandson of Su Apo is right here, but... he is also powerless."

"Not true! Not true!"

Mr. Bai Pi shook his head and said, "When that kid was young, I saw him once. He was a smart child. At the age of three, he recognized eight hundred herbs, at six, he could recite the Medical Classic, and at ten, he could diagnose and treat patients on his own. According to his grandmother, he is especially skilled at detoxification, even better than Su Apo."

"This..."

Everyone couldn't help but show shock on their faces. Jiang Facai was actually so powerful? How could he be just an ordinary person? He was clearly a famous doctor!

Uncle Ge's face was twisted as he said, "But he did refuse firmly, he is powerless!"

Mr. Bai Pi smiled knowingly and said, "He is not unable, but unwilling."

"Why?" Song Xijun asked in confusion.

Mr. Bai Pi sighed, "This poison is difficult to cure and requires something that you all don't understand. It would cost him half his life!"

"I see! No wonder he said he was powerless!"

Old Master Zhao suddenly realized and said in a deep voice, "We can compensate him with gold, silver, jewels, beautiful women, martial arts books, whatever he wants!"

Ke Qing'e also said, "That's right! After all, it's a matter of hundreds of lives. We can fulfill all his demands with the utmost sincerity!"

"You still don't understand doctors," Mr. Bai Pi shook his head slightly, "Doctors are devoted to their medical skills, how could they care about money, martial arts? Sigh! Forget it! Since I can't bear to see you all die, let me go and persuade him. Let's see if this kid will give me some face!"

"In that case... we will trouble you, sir!"

...

Dozens of Martial Dao experts who could still walk supported each other and struggled to reach the door of the room where Xin Zhuo was imprisoned.

The door was unlocked.

The room was quiet.

Old Master Zhao, Uncle Ge, Feng San Niang, and others looked at the room with completely different eyes.

He was not just an ordinary person, he was a lifesaving straw, a divine doctor!

If only they had known earlier, they would have treated him as an honored guest. What a pity!

At this moment, Qin Lirong couldn't help but speak up, "Jiang Facai, I know you can save us, please save us!"

Uncle Ge also sighed and bowed tremblingly, "I misunderstood you earlier, Mr. Jiang. It turns out you are a master of medicine. It was our ignorance that we didn't recognize a great person like you."

The room remained quiet, with no response.

Everyone could only look at Mr. Bai Pi.

Mr. Bai Pi reluctantly took a few steps forward and sighed, "Young man, do you still recognize my voice? It has been many years since we last met. Your grandmother has passed away, and I feel a lot of emotions. But... as a detoxification expert, why won't you save lives?"

"So it's Mr. Bai Pi, long time no see!"

Xin Zhuo had been waiting for a long time. Looking through the window at Mr. Bai Pi, he couldn't help but admire the disguise talent of Murong Xiu. This old appearance, this expression, even he himself would be confused. "Mr. Bai Pi, you don't know... I have two difficulties!"

"What difficulties? Please speak."

Before Mr. Bai Pi could say anything, Old Master Zhao couldn't bear the pain any longer and spoke up.

Xin Zhuo thought to himself, "Isn't it just waiting for you to say this?"

In fact, there's no need to make the ritual of summoning spirits so complicated. Just use poison directly, like Chen Jing and Yuan Mo did in the past. Force these people to write IOUs and create debts. It's not impossible.

It's just that it looks bad and the situation is too complicated. Plus, there's no leverage like Su Miaojin had in her hands. If I solve it for everyone here, they might turn against me directly. It's going to be difficult.

Besides, the most important thing is that I can't attract trouble to the east.

He said, "Firstly, those types of poisons are extremely rare, only found in two places: Shenqiang Manor and the Jianghezhu family in the Dukang Mansion. Both of these families are powerful forces. How can I, a helpless small doctor, dare to solve it? How can I not be afraid?"

This statement is too ambiguous. Zhao Lao and the others exchanged glances, as if they understood something, but they were also confused. Why would these two families target us?

"Ah!" Xin Zhuo sighed, "I just figured it out. Jianghezhu used to stay in the Fufeng Mansion for some time. I'm afraid he had a relationship with that Xin Zhuo. Furthermore, Xue Huaiwei, the senior disciple of Shenqiang Manor, is the chief catcher of the Fufeng Mansion. As the chief catcher, he never went after that little thief Xin Zhuo. Does this explanation make sense? Who knows what kind of relationship they have? There are treacherous people everywhere in the world!"

This statement instantly shocked everyone.

The confusion was resolved—

Jianghezhu spread the news about Xin Zhuo, deliberately luring everyone in. Xue Huaiwei should have a relationship with Xin Zhuo. These three people colluded with each other and set up this trap to capture all of us!

Thinking of this, everyone felt a chill.

How malicious their intentions were!

Zhao Lao angrily said, "Fachai, don't worry about this matter. Even if we are not as good as them, we also have a few close friends. We will definitely seek justice and ensure your safety!"

In the corner, a big monk who had remained silent all along sneered, "Others may fear them, but what does Shaolin Sect have to fear?"

Keqing, filled with anger, said, "Such treachery! Wudang Sect will not forgive these two!"

Seeing that their thoughts were aligned, Xin Zhuo sighed again, "Secondly, this poison is difficult to cure. It requires me to exert a lot of effort and prepare the antidote using special methods. It's enough to cost me half my life!"

Everyone fell silent for a moment. This was indeed a difficult problem. It's selfish to sacrifice someone else's life for the sake of one's own life. But...

Song Xijun trembled as she said, "Hundreds of lives are at stake. Fachai, you must save them. I will support you for the rest of your life."

"Mr. Baipi" also sighed, "Save them. I will prepare healing materials for you."

After a moment of silence in the room, Xin Zhuo's voice finally came out, struggling and reluctantly, "Alright."

...

The sunlight was just right, and the breeze was gentle.

"Mr. Baipi" left the Ge Mansion with a reward of ten thousand taels of silver bills, bidding farewell to the servants of the Ge Mansion. Before leaving, he made an appointment with "Jiang Fachai" to meet him somewhere and provide him with healing medicine.

Watching the group of Ge Mansion servants return, the composed "Mr. Baipi" hurriedly walked into an alley.

Inside, Cui Ying'er, Huang Dagui, and others who had arrived earlier were already waiting.

"How did it go?" Han Qiniang greeted him, her eyes shining.

Mourong Xiu removed his fake beard and smiled triumphantly, "It went smoothly, just as planned. The head of the Ge family is really cunning. Hahaha, I like it!"

"You're wrong!" Bai Jianxin said with a serious tone, "The head of the Ge family's plan is to kill two birds with one stone and sow discord. With a wave of his hand, he eliminated a formidable enemy. Coupled with attracting trouble to the east, it's a brilliant and terrifying strategy. No one understands the head of the Ge family better than me."

Cui Ying'er shook her head, "The main reason is that those people were determined to kill us. The head of the Ge family had no choice but to use this plan. Although the result may not be satisfactory and cannot withstand scrutiny, in any case, for a short period of time, let them be in chaos!"

Mourong Xiu nodded. Suddenly, he took out a map from his pocket and imitated the head of the Ge family, saying, "Let's have a meeting!"

Everyone gathered together.

Mourong Xiu pointed and said, "According to the head of the Ge family's plan, we will proceed to the next step. We will divide the money, disguise ourselves, Ying'er and Jiulang will go to the vicinity of Shenqiang Manor to investigate, I and Jianxin will go to the Du family near Yimen, Dagui and Qiniang will go to Danyang Tower. After one month, we will meet at the small Songshan Mountain between the three locations, and the head of the Ge family will catch up."

"Why does the head of the Ge family stay behind?" Han Qiniang was very puzzled.

Mourong Xiu thought for a moment and said, "I don't quite understand either. I had a few words with the head of the Ge family, and I feel that his intention is to avoid being targeted by Xue Huaiwei and the others when we are together. By staying behind, he can lead them away."

"The head of the Ge family is really... so righteous." Huang Dagui sighed repeatedly, then looked around, "Huh? Where's Xiaohuang?"

Mourong Xiu suddenly remembered this and slapped his forehead, "This Xiaohuang has become clever. He followed me sneakily to find the head of the Ge family!"
