Ma Liu did not study well since he was a child. When he grew up, he gradually became a famous gangster in Yongzhou Prefecture. He was actually gifted and able to support himself through gangsterism.
For many errands like this one, if the client does not want to be seen in public, he will spend some money to ask Ma Liu to do it.
As long as it's not murder and arson, he will basically accept anyone who comes.
And the reason why he kept refusing to say anything was not because of any loyalty or the rules of the road, but simply because this was the "errand" he relied on for a living. Once the news that he revealed his employer got out, he might be in trouble in the future.
I won't be able to get any jobs.
Ma Liu actually came from a good family and was pampered by his parents when he was a child. Although he later became a gangster and was arrested several times by the government, he never suffered much, let alone being beaten.
So before the board fell, Ma Liu was still lucky enough to think that as long as he gritted his teeth, he might be able to get through it.
But this matter is related to the safety of Prince Wang, how could Fan Yuru let him go so easily?
The palace guards were naturally merciless in their attacks.
As the first board fell, Ma Liu felt a sharp pain and let out a miserable howl: "Ah——"
The boards fell alternately without any pause, beating Ma Liu until he was howling like a ghost, shouting: "No, no, no, I, I will attack, I will attack..."
But no matter how much he shouted, the board still showed no intention of stopping.
Ma Liu thought to himself, he didn't know how long the beating would last, what if he was beaten to death directly.
At this time, he didn't care about helping others to hide it, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Gong Lihua, it was Doctor Gong who asked me to do it. He only said that he wouldn't let me drink it. I, I really didn't know that he added dirt to the rice wine."
thing……"
"Okay!" Fan Yuru shouted to stop.
Li Zian, who was sitting on top, asked: "Who is Gong Lihua? Why does he do this?"
Ma Liu didn't dare to be careless this time and told everything he knew.
"Doctor Gong is a doctor from Hua'antang in the city. He saved the life of the prefect's wife before, so he has the prefect's Yamen as his backer. He has been doing well in Yongzhou Prefecture in the past few years.
"No one expected that at the end of last year, he actually misdiagnosed a very important patient and almost killed the mother of an official. Fortunately, Mrs. Tong found out and saved the old lady.
"Ever since that incident, Gong Lihua couldn't stand it in front of the magistrate. The younger one heard that he was called to see a doctor for Mrs. Shen, but he didn't even notice the doctor and was kicked out by Mr. Shen.
When he came out, he was called a quack.
"As time went by, this matter gradually spread, and Hua'antang's business became worse and worse, and now it has closed down."
After hearing what he said, Li Zian and Fan Yuru had already remembered that this should be the time when Zhao Qu sought medical treatment for his mother.
In order to atone for his sins, Ma Liu continued without waiting for anyone to ask: "Doctor Gong hated Mrs. Tong very much because of this incident. Later, in order to get revenge on her, he even encouraged Mrs. Tong to do a free clinic at the nursing home.
A couple went to seek medical treatment with their dying child.
"He wanted to make Mrs. Tong embarrassed in public and ruin her reputation. At that time, he even asked the younger one to hire a few people to hide in the crowd, just waiting for Mrs. Tong to make trouble when she was helpless.
"Who would have thought that Mrs. Tong's medical skills are so amazing that she successfully saved the child. Doctor Gong has never been able to get along with his tone. He always wants to cause trouble for Mrs. Tong..."
Li Zian's brows furrowed more and more as he listened. He didn't know everything about the matter before, and he thought Shen Tianshu was good at "picking" patients.
But now when I heard what Ma Liu said, I realized that Gong Lihua was actually behind this, and Shen Tianshu just had to take action to save people.
"I'm not good at academics, but I'm still jealous of talents!" Li Zian has been led astray, and all he wants to do is arrest Gong Lihua as soon as possible to prevent him from taking action against Shen Tianshu again.
But Fan Yuru's thinking was still clear. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out the logic. He frowned and asked: "You said that Gong Lihua wanted to plot against Lady Tong, but he went to the southwest corner to deliver medicated rice wine and had another relationship with Lady Tong. What’s the relationship?”
Ma Liu hurriedly said: "Doctor Gong didn't tell the villain about his plan, but judging from the information he revealed and the villain's guess, he probably wanted to put the blame for the poison on Lady Tong's head. …”
"It's so ironic that such a vicious-hearted person actually became a doctor!" Li Zian said angrily, "Come on, bring Gong Lihua back quickly!"
Fan Yuru felt that the whole thing still seemed to be missing something, but regardless of whether it was missing or not, catching Gong Lihua back was a top priority.
Gong Lihua was now alone in the closed Hua'an Hall.
He had already packed his luggage and sent all his family out of the city.
He thought that after finishing this matter today, he could leave Yongzhou Mansion and start his life again with his family in another place.
However, despite all his calculations, he failed to calculate that the secret guards at Prince Rui's Mansion were now extremely nervous and sensitive. After learning about the situation in the southwest corner, they reported it without any delay.
He could not have imagined that just because Li Zian was in the city, Shen Zhonglei did not hesitate and decisively sealed the gates on all sides, trapping him in the city with no way out.
The Gong family's shops and residence in the city have been sold, and now he doesn't even have a place to stay. He can only stay in an inn first, planning to leave as soon as the city gate reopens.
But before he could wait for the news of the city gate opening, he was firmly restrained by the secret guards who came in somehow.
"Who are you? Why are you arresting me?" Gong Lihua was having a sweet dream of becoming famous again, when someone suddenly held his limbs tightly, and he woke up from his dream in shock.
He opened his eyes and vaguely saw a few dark figures in the room. He begged for mercy in a daze: "Heroes, I don't have any money. I'm just temporarily staying here tonight..."
"Stop talking nonsense and take it away!"
Gong Lihua was carried out of the inn in a daze, put into a carriage, and finally brought to Li Zian.
Only when he saw Ma Liu lying on the side with a bloody buttocks, Gong Lihua finally came to his senses.
Is this a revelation?
Ma Liu endured the pain and spat at him: "You are such a evil-hearted bitch, you actually gave this kind of medicine to harm people. Fortunately, I didn't drink that broken rice wine of yours, otherwise... oh... it hurts so much." I’m sorry…”
The guard kicked Ma Liu, interrupted his nonsense, and scolded: "Your Majesty is still sitting on top, please clear your mouth for me!"
"Shi, the Crown Prince?" Gong Lihua was still guessing in his mind just now who the person sitting on the top was. He never expected that it would be the Crown Prince.
It’s over!
These two big words flashed through Gong Lihua's mind, cold sweat broke out all over his body, his knees bent unconsciously, and he knelt on the ground.
