Chapter 18: Can You Keep It a Secret for Me?

For a few days, there was no news of Imperial Doctor Chen in the Tai Hospital, but the people in the Tai Hospital were not in a hurry.

But Fang Ling was not as leisurely as others, and the time for throwing the corpse from the Heavenly Prison was getting closer and closer, and if he missed this time, it would be even more difficult to save the female assassin from it.

Moreover, if this prescription can really be obtained, it will come in handy not only for saving the female assassin, but maybe it will be used in other places in the future.

What's even more troublesome is that he asked Lin Mowen to inquire about Imperial Doctor Chen's residence, but found that no one knew.

Early this morning, Fang Ling came to the rented house again, and just when he had finished the honey pill and was about to go out, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Who is it?" Fang Ling asked, a little wary in his heart, the rent was given for three months, the landlord estimated that he would not come here if he was fine, except for the landlord, who else would come to the door?

"Open the door quickly, I am Ren Huai'an, the head arrester of the Criminal Department, and I am ordered to search for the absconding criminals!" There was a violent knock on the door and a man's rude voice outside.

"Searching for prisoners?" Fang Ling frowned, but walked over and opened the door anyway.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a tall man in his thirties standing outside, with a full face and beard, which matched his voice perfectly.

He was wearing clothes that caught fast, and a long knife hung from his waist, as if he thought Fang Ling was opening the door too slowly, he glared at him fiercely, and then looked into the courtyard, waved his hand and said, "Search for me!"

As soon as these words fell, the five or six catchers behind him rushed in at once, and began to search everywhere in the house, Xiaobai saw such a stranger coming in, and suddenly got out of the kennel, staring at everyone vigilantly.

Fang Ling stood quietly in the courtyard, watching these people rummage through the cabinets, not letting go of anything, many small places, as if they were not looking for people, but looking for things.

Soon, several catchers came back, shaking their heads one by one, but Ren Huai'an had no intention of leaving, but pointed to the rows of honey pills in the courtyard and asked, "What are these?"

"It's a pill. Fang Ling replied lightly.

Ren Huai'an sneered, pointed to the inside and outside of the house and said, "Pills, I don't think this house is yours, right? Ren's wife rents a house to make pills, I feel a little suspicious, so please go with us to the Punishment Department!"

"What?" Fang Ling frowned, this head catcher didn't look like he was joking, but he actually had to let himself go to the Criminal Department for this little thing? Fang Ling was not afraid, but felt that this was too much of a fuss.

Ren Huai'an raised his chin arrogantly and sneered: "What's the matter, your heart is empty?"

"I haven't done anything bad, how can I be weak-minded? It's just that this pharmaceutical is such a small matter, is it necessary to bring me to the Criminal Department?" Fang Ling questioned.

Ren Huai'an snorted heavily, and shouted, "Am I catching the head or are you the head catcher, how dare you question me at a young age?

Seeing Ren Huai'an's bullying appearance, Fang Ling subconsciously touched the waist card in his arms, wondering whether he should take it out at this time. However, the weight of this eunuch's waist card is quite large, and he doesn't want to expose his identity like this, so as not to cause unnecessary incidents, so his hand is loose again, maybe when he goes to the Criminal Department to talk about his cooperation with Renxintang, it should be fine.

So, Fang Ling followed Ren Huai'an and his party out, and after a while, they came to the place of the Criminal Department.

The Criminal Department is the highest judicial body in the Chu State, in charge of the national criminal administration, and reviews the cases decided by the Dali Temple, and the Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are called the Three Law Divisions, which is one of the most core institutions in the country, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is a dignified member of the first grade, with a prominent status.

Whether it is an ordinary person or an official, they are full of awe of the place of the criminal department, and they naturally don't want to have anything to do with it here.

In front of the gate of the Criminal Department, the two stone lions are hideous and terrifying, and the courtyard extends in all directions, and there are guards with straight waists everywhere, and they are heavily guarded.

Walking into the door, Ren Huai'an said to one of his subordinates: "You take him to rest first, and I will go and tell the principal." ”

The catcher quickly bowed in response, and led Fang Ling towards a large avenue on the left, but when he arrived at the place, Fang Ling understood the meaning of this rest, and he was actually in prison!

The black door exuded an eerie aura, and before entering the door, you could see a pair of wolf-like eyes in the cell, as if it was not a human being inside, but a wild wolf.

Fang Ling couldn't help frowning and said, "How long do I have to stay here before I can leave?"

The catcher grinned and said, "Boy, do you still want to understand why you're here?"

"What do you mean?" Fang Ling asked rhetorically when he heard what he said.

Catch Kuai touched his chin and played with the taste: "Why do you think anyone can be locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department? That's not overcrowded, I'll tell you the truth, you have offended people who shouldn't be offended." ”

Fang Ling frowned when he heard this, but he couldn't remember who had such an enmity with him for a while, and he actually wanted to get himself to the criminal department, and combed through the interpersonal network outside the palace, and he suddenly had a personal choice.

Catch Kuai seemed to understand his expression, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have also figured it out, I will let you in now and think clearly, and I will call you later, if you obediently hand over the prescription, you can leave at any time, if you are brainless, hehe...... Then there will be bitter fruit to eat. ”

Fang Ling's face sank, sure enough, it was Yu Tiancheng's ghost! I didn't expect him to actually come up with the idea of a prescription, and actually use such a bad method.

The corners of his mouth hooked a sneer, originally he didn't have the time to deal with Yu Tiancheng, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to find his own trouble, then let's see who had the last laugh, so he was not in a hurry to take out the waist card, and walked towards the depths of the cell with the catch.

The catcher stopped in front of a cell where there were seven or eight ruffian-looking people, some of them were big, some of them were thin, but their expressions were fierce, and one of them was a tall man in his thirties, with a long scar on his face, bulging muscles, and very cold eyes.

Catcher smiled and said, "Boy, I believe this place will let you know the benefits of telling the truth." If you know, call me out loud. ”

With that, he opened the cell and pushed Fang Ling in.

As soon as Fang Ling walked over, he was taken aback, because he saw a middle-aged man in his forties sitting in the corner, although this man's hair was a little messy, but at a glance he could see that it was actually Imperial Doctor Chen!

At this time, Imperial Physician Chen was sitting in the corner, with some scars on his face, as if he had been beaten.

As if hearing someone coming in, Imperial Physician Chen opened his eyes, and when he saw Fang Ling, he was taken aback, and he was about to stand up immediately.

Fang Ling hurriedly rushed over, half-squatting and whispering, "The situation is special, so you don't have to salute." ”

"Temple...... Your Highness, why are you here?" said Imperial Physician Chen in astonishment.

Fang Ling didn't answer, and asked rhetorically, "Why are you here?"

Imperial Physician Chen's face turned red, and he hesitated for a moment before replying: "The subordinates don't have any other hobbies, so they just gamble a little money, but they were too lucky in the gambling house a few days ago and won too much. ”

When Fang Ling heard this, he understood, you must know that the Tai Hospital is a place in the palace after all, and gambling is a forbidden thing in the palace, and it is secretly played if you want to play. But if you are caught for gambling outside, once your identity is exposed and it is passed to the palace, you will inevitably be punished.

His heart moved, and he said tentatively: "Could you have been caught by a catcher named Ren Huai'an?"

"How does His Highness know?" Imperial Physician Chen was stunned.

Fang Ling already had a number in his heart at this time, it seemed that the two of them were in the same group, but it was really good to be able to find Imperial Doctor Chen here.

At this time, Scarface said, "What, you two know each other? That's great, Xiao An, go and get that kid for me!"

A thin boy walked over with a sneer, Fang Ling glanced at a few people coldly, and said to Imperial Doctor Chen, "You were beaten by them?"

"Your Highness, be careful, these people are all street ruffians!" Imperial Physician Chen hurriedly stood up, wanting to protect Fang Ling.

Fang Ling smiled faintly, and protected Mrs. Chen behind him with his backhand, while Xiao An had already walked closer, and grabbed him on the shoulder as soon as he reached out.

It's just that Fang Ling has been taught martial arts by Dong Canghai since he was a child, and he is extremely skilled in both fists and feet, as if he stretched out his hand slowly and quickly, and clasped Xiao An's hand with his backhand, and at the same time his fingers were pierced on the meridians of his wrist like eagle claws.

Restrained with one hand, Fang Ling exerted a little force, and Xiao Anzi's body twisted with his hand, screaming in pain.

Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Ling slashed at Xiao An's neck with a palm knife, where could Xiao An withstand such a force, and he was immediately stunned.

Seeing that Fang Ling was young, he actually knocked Xiao An unconscious as soon as he made a move, and Scarface couldn't help but sink his face and said: "Stinky boy, how dare you do it here?"

The six ruffians immediately swarmed up, ready to teach Fang Ling a hard lesson. It's just that Fang Ling's skills are not so simple, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, his fists were like lightning, his legs were like thunder, three fists and three legs, he just hit the six people so that they couldn't resist, and then their fists and feet were added, knocking each other to the ground one by one.

Scarface's face changed suddenly, he gritted his teeth and stood up, rushed over with an angry shout, picked up his fist and smashed it towards Fang Ling.

Fang Ling saw his coming, opened the attacking fist with one hand, and punched him in the face.

Where is the scarred face still half ruthless, suddenly covering his nose and screaming in pain, Fang Ling did not show mercy, he raised his leg and smashed it, hitting him the neck, and also stunned him.

Imperial Physician Chen was stunned after reading all this, and was speechless for a while, when did His Royal Highness the Great Prince, who is only a promise on weekdays, become such a good martial artist?

Sweeping eight people to the ground with such an understatement was only a blink of an eye.

After doing all this, Fang Ling gently patted his clothes and said to Imperial Physician Chen, "Can Imperial Physician keep this matter secret for me?"

Imperial Physician Chen hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you are the master, I am the subordinate, and the subordinate will naturally not say much." ”

Fang Ling smiled slightly: "I believe in Imperial Doctor Chen, for so many years, you have been the best for our mother and son in the Tai Hospital." ”

Imperial Physician Chen was flattered and said, "This is our duty as courtiers. ”

Fang Ling said: "Then the Imperial Doctor, wait a minute, I'll find a way to go out together." ”

Imperial Physician Chen couldn't help but remind, "Your Highness, you ...... You can't reveal your identity, there are the eyes and ears of the prime minister everywhere in this criminal department, in case it reaches the queen's mother......"

Seeing that he was worried about himself, Fang Ling said with a little emotion: "Don't worry, Imperial Doctor Chen, I won't be stupid enough to reveal my identity." With that, he shouted outside, "I want to see your lord!"

It didn't take long for the catcher to come over slowly, and said with a smile: "You figured it out so quickly? ”

So, he walked out with Fang Ling.
