Chapter 1406: Justice
"The city guards are here!" finally erupted in cheers from the crowd in front of the medical hall.
Because the city guards, who had been waiting for them all along, had finally arrived.
The city guards are responsible for the security of the city, and of course have jurisdiction over the battles that take place on the side of the hospital.
A group of brightly clad city guards came running and arrived at the entrance of the infirmary, and the team leader stopped and shouted, "What's the matter? Why are you gathered here?"
Immediately, someone gave a briefing to the city guards.
"Let's go in and save people!" A group of aristocratic lords surrounded the two women, and they wanted to take away the female Taoist priest of the medical hall, and they also started to do it!"
"Yes, yes! There was an old man in the back, who used a fire wall technique, and burned Mrs. Dong in our hospital in all directions, which was a miserable one!"
The audience's words were dangerous, Dong Dazhi was anxious and angry, and he was about to rush in again.
As soon as the city guard squad leader heard this, he knew that there were strong men fighting inside, and the level was not low.
He was a little hesitant, because if it was really a group of noble lords from the upper echelons who were killing people, and his little city guard rashly meddled in his affairs, he was afraid that he would also be implicated.
"The first squadron of the second battalion of the city guards, and the sixteenth squad of twelve people, arrived at the Dong Medical Center first, ready to break in to save people. At this moment, someone muttered in a very serious tone on the side.
The squad leader looked up suddenly, his gaze falling on the man who spoke.
"What are you doing?" said the squad leader angrily.
It was a woman, a woman in a red dress, who was holding a pen in her hand and holding a booklet, on which she scribbled with the tip of the pen.
"I'm a messenger from the Qingyu Newspaper, and I'm fortunate enough to see the justice and bravery of the city guards, and I want to record it for you. The woman in the red dress who spoke was the girl with red medicine that Lu Menglan had seen in the Qingyu Newspaper Pavilion, and she said seriously.
The captain of the city guard squad frowned, glanced at the red medicine girl helplessly, and then waved his hand vigorously and said, "Brothers, follow me in!"
There was a source from the Qingyu Newspaper Hall present, and the city guards did not dare to be perfunctory, they would rather offend the nobles than the next day's newspaper headlines, and be scolded by the people of the city, so they could only bite the bullet.
Who knows, before these city guards walked to the door of the hall of the medical hall, the door of the hall opened from the inside.
A group of mermaids came out, in a hurry, full of embarrassment, it was Lu Jun and Xiao Zhu.
Seeing this group of noble disciples coming out, everyone at the gate of the medical hall felt a chill in their hearts, thinking that it was over, it was over, these bastards came out, so Miss Mu and Dong Yang's family were only afraid that they would be finished calves!
"A bunch of brutes! return my beloved wife!" Dong Dazhi shouted angrily when he saw this group of gentlemen, he didn't look like a good person.
Don't look at his strength, but his momentum is really not weak, and he is completely in a risk-free posture.
"Don't, don't be impulsive! Your wife is fine! Xiao Zhu trembled with fright and hurriedly explained.
Dong Dazhi was stunned when he heard this, and he was half convinced.
"It's just that the clothes are all gone!" Xiao Zhu didn't know which tendon was wrong, and he made up for it with a ghostly stab.
"I'm fighting with you!" Dong Dazhi's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and four or five people couldn't hold it back, so they rushed upwards as if they were desperate.
Lu Jun hurriedly waved his hand and said loudly: "Don't get me wrong! We didn't do it! Later, Miss Mu put another one on her, and we didn't see anything!"
At this moment, the crowd was again in a row
Outcry.
Because they saw it, two more figures came out of the hall door, it was the beautiful Taoist Priest Mu Girl and the hostess of the medical hall, Dong Yang.
Dong Yang had already changed into a new set of clothes, looking safe and sound, and she stood on the steps, and saw Xiang Gong's virtue of wanting to die or live and fight with others from a distance, and unconsciously the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, just like him so recklessly!
The crowd hula suddenly surrounded and stepped forward, surrounding the two women.
"Wife, are you okay? It's okay! Great!" Dong Dazhi cried with joy.
Duanmu Qingyi and Lu Menglu exchanged a look silently, and the two of them did not speak with each other.
When the two city guards broke into the hall, their faces immediately changed.
"Something's wrong! someone is dead inside!" shouted one of the city guards.
When this shout came out, the people in the courtyard immediately panicked.
After a while, the city guards entered the house and carried out the body of the gray-robed old man.
Lu Jun, the son of the nobleman, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I am from the Lu family, this is my second uncle!"
When the captain of the city guard heard this, he immediately frowned and asked, "Who killed it?"
"I don't know!" Lu Jun replied dryly.
Behind him, the children of the nobles shook their heads in unison.
The squad leader's face became even more suspicious, and he said in a low voice: "This person obviously broke his neck, how could you not know?"
Lu Jun nodded, and said with a panicked expression: "Yes, he was twisted by someone, but I don't know who shot it, only one hand, suddenly appeared in front of my second uncle, and then broke his neck." ”
"What? Forget it, take it all back!" The more the team leader listened, the more confused he became, but he knew that this matter was no longer something he could solve on the spot, so he had to bring all the people in the hall back to the yamen and let the professionals interrogate them.
After all, it was a noble lord of the Lu clan who died inside, and it sounded like his status was not low, so he couldn't let go of any suspicious characters at this time.
The soldiers of the city guard surrounded the crowd and began to drive them away.
Dong Dazhi held his wife's hand and refused to let go, and Duanmu Qingyi quietly stood by Lu Menglan's side.
On the contrary, those noble children were driven together by the city guards, and they were ready to take them all to the yamen.
"And the two women just now! take them with you!" the captain of the city guard squad thought for a moment and shouted.
At this moment, Dong Dazhi's face changed greatly, and he refused to let go even more.
Duanmu Qingyi whispered in Lu Menglan's ear: "I don't want to stay in prison, I heard that it stinks there." ”
"Oh, got it!" Lu Menglu nodded and said with a faint smile.
The city guards were about to step forward and arrest these two women, but they didn't know that the woman in the red dress of the Qingyu Newspaper Hall just now appeared again.
"These two are obviously victims, do you want to arrest them too? It turns out that the city guards' method of solving the case is to arrest them together, regardless of good or evil, and then bend them into tricks, right?"
The tip of the pen in her hand was about to poke the squad leader's nose.
"Nonsense! How can there be such a thing!" The team leader felt a little furious in his heart, but he felt that it seemed unruly not to catch those two women.
"Dong's Medical Hall is developing an antidote to the plague, and it has reached a critical moment, both of them are very important researchers, you are making trouble at this time,
What do you mean by the people who want to take us away?Is it intended to hinder the advent of the antidote?" At this time, Lu Menglu said unhurriedly.
When the red medicine girl heard this, the tip of her pen immediately rustled.
When the squad leader saw this posture, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, no! Let's go!"
After finishing speaking, the city guards took a group of noble children and left the hospital in a gloomy manner.
They were afraid that they would inexplicably appear on the headlines of Qingyu Newspaper early tomorrow morning, which obviously had nothing to do with them, it was just a routine patrol, there was no need to cause such trouble, not to mention the infamy that hindered the appearance of the antidote to the plague.
However, although the city guard team was withdrawn, they still left a guard outside the infirmary just in case.
"The young man reacted very quickly, why don't you just come to the newspaper office to be a source?" the red medicine girl looked at Lu Menglan with a smile and quipped.
Lu Menglan didn't object, but smiled: "Wait for the antidote to come out! It should be a day or two." ”
"So soon, then I'm not leaving! I'm just waiting for the antidote to come out, this is a great event for the benefit of all people!"
"Okay, I'll arrange a room for you, and I'll leave you with first-hand information!" Lu Menglu nodded and said.
Compared with the advent of the antidote to the plague, the turmoil just now can only be regarded as a trivial matter, and the only trouble is the death of a nobleman.
Sure enough, early the next morning, Lu's brigade came to the door of the Dong Family Medical Hall.
The leader is a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, he is the patriarch of the Lu clan, Lu Jun, he brought the Lu clan's private army this time, about 300 people, all riding high-headed horses, with bright armor, among which there are several archmages, dressed in luxurious robes, mixed in the horse team, very conspicuous.
The children of the nobles stayed in the yamen of the city guards all night, and the result was just a few words, Lu Jun's second uncle was suddenly twisted out of a hand and broke his neck, like killing a chicken, as for who did it, they didn't see clearly.
After the Lu family got the news, the head of the family personally went to the city guard army yamen to mention people, and couldn't ask why, so he simply took the family's private soldiers early in the morning and went straight to the Dong family's medical hall.
It was a nobleman who died, the patriarch's own brother, and this reason alone was enough, they wanted to wash the medical hall of that group of untouchables in blood, and only with blood could the dignity of the nobles be maintained.
They don't need any evidence at all, they just need to let everyone see that someone in the Lu clan has shed blood, so the other party must pay it back a hundred times.
The first to discover the Lu Clan's private army was the city guard battalion on this floor of Fashen City, and they immediately dispatched men to stop the Lu Clan's horse team in front of the medical hall.
"Master Lu, please exercise restraint! The city guard yamen will find out the facts of the case and give you the truth. But until then, please don't try to solve the problem with violence. ”
The one who spoke was the battalion commander of the city guard at the lowest level of Fashen City, he was a forty-second level soldier, he had been the battalion commander for eight years, and he knew all the forces in the city well.
On this trip, the reason why the battalion commander led the team to intercept him was not because he wanted to protect everyone in the medical hall, but because the Lu clan was a nobleman at the upper level, and he suddenly sent troops to his side to do things, which made him very unhappy and felt that his authority had been challenged.
The Lu family master didn't take the city guards at this level in his eyes at all, and sneered, "It's up to you?"
