Chapter 223: Relevance
The dark room was filled with a foul smell, as if in a pigsty, and there was no light in the room, the only light was the torch in Dr. Liang's hand.
I don't know if in the eyes of the people inside, this light represents hope or fear.
Soon, even the torch couldn't withstand the stench and died, Chi Lian hurriedly took another one, accompanied by Dr. Liang, the two covered their noses and walked in cautiously.
The faint light did not illuminate the entire room, so Dr. Liang had to walk against the wall, while keeping an eye out for fear that something terrible would hit him in the dark.
Walking through a wall, Chi Lian found that there were also extinguished torches on the wall, she asked Dr. Liang to lift the torch in his hand, and found that the torch on the wall could still burn, so she asked Dr. Liang to light the torch on the wall.
Soon, the whole room lit up, which made both of them see the room for what it really was, and then both of them showed frightened expressions.
There were several other people in the room, both men and women, all of them lying in the middle of the room dying, but what really frightened Dr. Liang and Chi Lian was a woman who was hanging on the wall.
The man was naked, and his limbs were chained, and he was chained to the four corners of a wooden frame, and his whole body was burned except for bruises, and beside her was a extinguished stove and an iron rod.
Dr. Liang hurriedly called someone to come in and take the people out of the room, and then he used the shadowless sword to cut the chains on the wooden frame and save the man, and then Chi Lian took off her coat and draped it over the man.
After some inspection, Doctor Liang sighed, and Ni Tianqiao and Chi Lian hurriedly asked about the condition of these people.
I saw Dr. Liang shook his head and said: "Although they are all alive, their bodies are covered with all kinds of injuries, some have been scratched by sharp weapons, some have been beaten with fists, and what is even more outrageous is that everyone has a lot of imprints on their bodies." ”
Before she could sigh, Chi Lian found a mark on one of them, and although the mark was half blocked by the brand, she was still sure.
"This person is a native of the country of Fantu. ”
Ni Tianqiao and Dr. Liang looked at each other, and they asked Chi Lian to look at the others, and found that almost all of them were Chinese people, except for the woman who was tied to a wooden frame at the beginning.
Since the smell of the room was too big, Ni Tianwan picked up the vase on the switch, and the door slowly fell again.
After a cup of tea, Dr. Liang saved one of them, and learned from the mouth of the man that they originally came to the capital to do business, but by mistake they were taken by Zhang Thorn and imprisoned here, and they were treated inhumanely by Zhang T. T. every day and night.
From that person's mouth, the woman who was tied to the wooden frame was originally a head brand of Drunken Spring Breeze, and after being brought here, Zhang Thorn and his subordinates were taken every day......
Dr. Liang covered the man's mouth, he didn't want to listen to it anymore.
After taking those people out of the secret room, Dr. Liang discussed with Ni Tianqiao, and finally decided to transport those people back to Dr. Liang's medical hall, and Ni Tianwan hurried back to the palace to report the matter.
After letting Chi Lian escort people to the medical hall, Dr. Liang was about to return to the secret room to investigate, and happened to meet the three people who came back from inquiring.
While going to the secret room, Dr. Liang told a few people what had just happened, and Zhu Qingqing bluntly said that Zhang Yan was innocent.
"By the way, the three of you went out to investigate, did you find anything?"
Seeing Zhu Qingqing's indignant appearance, Dr. Liang hurriedly opened the topic.
Bai Xinfan and Zhu Qingqing both shook their heads, and then Bai Xinfan said, "I visited a few nearby shops and asked them if anything special happened last night, but everyone said no. ”
Zhu Qingqing echoed: "I'm almost the same, when I mention Zhang Thorium, it's like mentioning a ghost, and everyone avoids me." ”
Doctor Liang pondered for a moment, and then looked at Bai Xuan.
"I did find a little bit, just now I passed by the drunken spring breeze, and I heard the miscellaneous person at the door say that Zhang Thorium redeemed a top brand Xiaoxue half a month ago, which should be the one you mentioned just now. ”
"Is that all?" said Dr. Liang, looking a little disappointed.
Then Bai Jian coughed dryly and said, "Of course it's more than that, guess who I met at the door of the drunken spring breeze?"
The three of them shook their heads, and then Zhu Qingqing gave Bai a recommendation.
"Tell you to investigate, have you investigated in the Qinglou? If you let Aunt Wang know, won't you pick your skin?"
"What's the matter with Aunt Wang? Don't do anything, it's important to get down to business. ”
After stopping Zhu Qingqing, Bai Jian pretended to be suspicious and gathered the three of them together, and then whispered in their ears.
"The woman in white who looks like Imperial Doctor Chen's childhood sweetheart, I inquired, her name is Mei Ji was sold to the drunken spring breeze a few months ago, I heard that she only sells her art and does not sell her body, and she is still Xiaoxue's closest friend. ”
After listening, Zhu Qingqing glanced at Bai Jian and said, "Tut-tut, it's useless to inquire about these things, and you don't sell your body to show your art, so it's the other way around." ”
Soon Bai Jian quarreled with Zhu Qingqing, and Bai Xin had a loveless expression in the middle, and only Dr. Liang fell into deep thought.
After a while, Dr. Liang interrupted the two of them and said thoughtfully: "Brother Bai's investigation is not necessarily useless, in my opinion, they are all connected to an invisible thread, but the thread is tied with many knots, as long as they are all untied, we can get the answer we want." ”
Then, Dr. Liang continued to think, and such a scene appeared in his mind, Zhang Yan and Xiaoxue were connected to a thread, and Xiaoxue and Mei Ji were connected to a thread, and the three of them formed a line, and there was Imperial Doctor Chen standing next to him.
After thinking about it, Dr. Liang told the three of them the picture in his head, and the next thing was to investigate whether there was a relationship between Zhang Thorn and Mei Ji, and Mei Ji and Imperial Doctor Chen.
All three of them were curious about why they wanted to investigate the relationship between Imperial Doctor Chen and Mei Ji.
Doctor Liang frowned and said, "I'm not sure either, but Mei Ji, Ji Mei, Ji Mei, I have a very strong premonition that this person should have some connection with Imperial Doctor Chen." ”
At this time, it was also noon, and the four of them were a little hungry, so they all went back to the hospital first.
Back at the medical hall, Chi Lian and Imperial Physician Chen had already arranged for those few people, Imperial Physician Chen was busy helping them treat, and Chi Lian was on the side.
Zhu Qingqing originally wanted to tell Imperial Doctor Chen about Mei Ji, but was stopped by the three of them.
"Why don't you tell Imperial Doctor Chen? He has waited for so many years, and now he may be able to get some useful information from this Mei Ji, so that Imperial Doctor Chen can be a little happier. ”
Bai Jian held his forehead and said, "Are you sure it's a happy thing? ”
Bai Xinfan echoed: "Indeed, if Mei Ji and Hongmei are related, then what will happen to Imperial Doctor Chen after he knows that Mei Ji is a woman in the Qinglou?"
Zhu Qingqing angrily dodged his feet, and then went back to the room alone.
The remaining three decided to hide the matter from Imperial Doctor Chen first, and then tell him after everything was investigated.
After Bai Jian made lunch, Ni Tianqiao also returned, and after she reported everything in the secret room to the emperor, the emperor was very angry and hurriedly called a team of soldiers to raid the house.
As soon as he heard this, Dr. Liang hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and then got up and ran to Zhang Thorium's house.
Several people asked the reason, and Dr. Liang said nervously: "I haven't finished the investigation yet, what if they destroy the scene?
Ni Tianwan had just picked up a chicken leg when he was picked up by Dr. Liang, causing the chicken leg to fall to the ground.
