For a while, the room was in chaos.
It’s uncertain if the lady of the Wang Family was also displeased with Lu Sangqi’s words, but she promptly arranged for soone to take the Eldest Young Master Wang back ho to be treated by the imperial physicians.
The old doctor nearby, after witnessing this drama, hesitated: "Young master, isn’t that Eldest Young Master Wang getting into unnecessary trouble? If treated now, the possibility of curing his leg isn’t nonexistent. Having delayed so long and now getting injured again, he’s only destroying his own legs."
Lu Sangqi squinted his eyes at the Wang family’s hurriedly departing carriage, with a hint of a smile in his eyes: "Indeed, so people seem to have a death wish. They refuse to heed the truth, insisting on torturing themselves until their legs break to believe what others say is truly for their own good."
The phrase ’for their own good’ was expressed by Lu Sangqi with a unique tone.
The old doctor touched the tip of his nose: "Nevermind, I’ll go see other patients. This kind of patient who doesn’t follow dical advice, we doctors can’t control if sothing goes wrong."
There were many injured today, and Lu’s dical Hall was quite renowned.
Without the Wang family’s tyranny, so of the commoners who were affected rushed over for consultations.
Fortunately, the injuries of the affected commoners were just minor scrapes, not severe.
The truly severe cases were mostly from the families of officials who encountered mishaps.
Lu Sangqi turned and entered the dical hall. Upon seeing the Wang family’s servant boy who ca to buy anti-swelling ointnt, his eyes glead.
He offered the best ointnt but only charged the price of regular ointnt, simultaneously offering a cryptic remark: "The retribution suffered by the Eldest Young Master Wang this ti is the law of cause and effect; who knows how big this incident will beco, but surely sothing significant will co of it?"
The servant boy was startled by his words, hesitatingly clutching the ointnt: "Thank you, Doctor Lu, how many tis a day should this ointnt be used?"
"Use it whenever your face feels uncomfortable, at least two or three tis. Well, when a person is thoroughly rotten, there’s no chance of being clean again. A re tug will uncover a heap of dirt; however, the surrounding fish might wisely preserve themselves by moving to another pond, living without waiting to be polluted and suffocated, don’t you think?"
The servant boy turned pale: "Doctor Lu, I don’t understand what you’re saying. I’ll... I’ll leave now."
After speaking, the servant boy dared not wait for Lu Sangqi’s response and ran off.
Lu Sangqi clicked his tongue, a bit disdainful of those with such timid dispositions. Such a good opportunity, providing ample evidence could easily extricate them from this cesspool.
Regrettably, they have no courage.
Lu Sangqi repeated the sa tactic, bribing more servants from various residences. Amidst the chaos, mistakes were bound to occur.
At this ti, households involved in the incident were busy covering up traces and destroying evidence.
No one cared about the servants at the residences.
The palace received the news when the banquet was about to end.
Upon hearing the news, Emperor Xuanming was imdiately enraged.
Since the Minister of Punishnts was also implicated, Emperor Xuanming, having just returned to the Imperial Study, imdiately summoned the Minister of Dali Temple to investigate the matter.
The Minister of Dali Temple felt as though a huge mountain was pressing on his back, but since it was the Emperor’s direct order, he dared not disobey.
Hastily, he left the palace, ordering the arrest of the troublemakers into the Court of Judicial Review’s major prison. So detained at the Ministry of Punishnt were also transferred there.
anwhile, he dispatched people to investigate the involved families.
However, a problem arose at the Zhang Residence of the Minister of Punishnts.
Not to ntion the dignified elder of the Zhang Residence’s highly esteed status, this ti she was also frightened.
