Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 192: Chapter 110: The Bloodshed Caused by Copying Weapons Chapter 192: Chapter 110: The Bloodshed Caused by Copying Weapons Lau Quansheng was dragged and pulled along, stumbling as he ran with Lau Xiangyang following behind, clueless as to why.

Meanwhile, the junior household officer, dragging Lau Quansheng out of the government office, ran straight into a medical hall. Before even seeing anyone, he started shouting loudly, “Found her… found her… Lady Changsheng has been found!”

The shopkeeper, hearing this, didn’t bother to continue taking the pulse of his current patient and, without even greeting anyone, hurriedly left the patients and came out, “Lady Changsheng has been found? Where, where?”

“Right here… these two people; they came to the government office… real estate title transfer, the new homeowners buying the property. His name is Gu Changsheng!” The junior household officer gasped for air as he pushed Lau Quansheng forward.

“Have you seen Lady Changsheng?” the shopkeeper asked, hope lighting his face.

Lau Quansheng nodded.

“Do you know where she is?”

Lau Quansheng nodded again.

“Oh, my dear mother, this means we’ve found her, someone, go call people, bring the weapons and hurry over here!” the shopkeeper slapped his thigh and shouted to the only other person in the medical hall, an assistant grinding medicine.

Lau Quansheng, sensing something was amiss at this, stealthily turned back and gave Lau Xiangyang a meaningful glance.

The two, who had grown up together like inseparable friends, understood each other instantly. Lau Xiangyang seized the moment when others were unprepared, quietly slipped away, and dashed towards the outskirts of the city at a speed almost rivaling a rabbit…

Meanwhile, seeing Lau Xiangyang stealthily escape, Lau Quansheng also planned to quietly make a getaway.

However, no sooner had he slightly moved, the junior household officer and the shopkeeper, alert, pounced on him. They each grabbed one of his arms, refusing to let go no matter what.

“What are you doing, Officer of the Household Department, I haven’t committed any conspiracies or crimes, why are you arresting me?” the sweat poured incessantly down Lau Quansheng’s naive face.

All this trouble over a land title, causing such significant trouble for Lady Changsheng. He had been in perfectly good condition, why did he go and inquire about someone dying in that estate? There was definitely trouble now!

Lau Quansheng couldn’t help but curse himself a few times in his heart.

“Ah, don’t you think about running. If we can’t find Lady Changsheng, even if you grew wings, you wouldn’t be able to fly!”

“Exactly, I’m telling you, if my father-in-law doesn’t return my wife soon, my child will end up crying his voice hoarse. Try running, just try it. If you run, I’ll have the colleagues in the government office seal your sundries store right away!” The junior household officer clutched him tightly, a minor official, still a wielder of threats.

Clearly, Lau Quansheng was frightened, he didn’t dare to move, not even daring to breathe heavily.

The sundries store was his entire family’s livelihood; it absolutely couldn’t be sealed.

Now, all he could hope was for Xiangyang to run faster, and for Lady Changsheng to receive the message and also escape swiftly.

Seeing Lau Quansheng quiet down, the junior household officer and the shopkeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Shopkeeper Song, Doctor Song, you must speak to my father-in-law, ask him to quickly send my wife back home…”

“Exactly, exactly, I’ll pass along the message to Elder Xu the moment I see him.” Shopkeeper Song hurriedly nodded, “This day has been utterly exhausting. There are only two of us left in the medical hall. We’ve been running around so much that we haven’t even had time to eat a warm meal.”

“Your wife has also been sent out?”

“Not just my wife, my elderly mother and my children have all gone out searching too…”

“Oh my, this turnout, it’s almost like the grand search that filled the city a few days ago.”

“Isn’t it? If we don’t find Lady Changsheng, you might not even see a doctor here for the next five years.”

“That makes sense, Lady Changsheng sure knows how to hide…”

Hearing this, Lau Quansheng felt something was wrong and timidly interjected, “Um, may I ask, what do you need Lady Changsheng for?”

This didn’t sound like they were accusing Lady Changsheng of anything; why would old and young alike be mobilized otherwise? Could he have misunderstood?

In fact, it wasn’t strange for Lau Quansheng to mistake the situation. He had been out of town stocking up just a few days before, and had only just returned home when he heard about the death in the old mansion. Before he even had a chance to drink some water, he was sent out of the city to ask about it, missing the grand citywide search.

“What’s the matter? It’s a life-or-death situation!” the junior household officer replied curtly.

On hearing this, Lau Quansheng, who had just relaxed, was immediately tense again.

Oh my! A life-or-death situation! Now he really had gotten someone killed!

Before Lau Quansheng could fully blame himself, the door was bustlingly burst open by many people, at least twenty in number, led by Hu Yihai, a known miser in Liuzhou City.

“Lady Changsheng has been found? Where is she?”

“Where is Lady Changsheng?”

“…”

Before he could even stabilize himself upon entering, several urgent inquiries rang out one after another.

Lau Quansheng saw that they had come empty-handed, without bringing the so-called “tools,” and he felt slightly relieved. This time, however, he dared not let his guard down completely…

“It’s him, he transferred his courtyard to Lady Changsheng, he knows where Lady Changsheng is!” The Junior Household Officer pushed Lau Quansheng forward again, hurriedly made two bows to the approaching Elder Xu, and pleaded repeatedly, “Father-in-law, father-in-law, now that Lady Changsheng is found, please quickly let my wife return home, your little nephew is nearly crying himself silly…”

Upon hearing this, Elder Xu glanced at his son-in-law, “Now is not the time to discuss this, finding Lady Changsheng is the priority.”

The Junior Household Officer wanted to say more, but seeing the situation, he could only nod hesitantly and couldn’t help but search for his wife among the crowd gathered outside the door.

The crowd quickly verified the news about finding Lady Changsheng and began to push Lau Quansheng towards the door.

“Hurry up, all the doctors, let’s go together, even if we have to beg, we must implore Lady Changsheng to agree to this matter.”

“Yes, yes, let the rest of you go home first. If we can’t find Lady Changsheng after we’ve gone, then you all can continue the search.”

“Tch! Doom-monger! We will definitely find Lady Changsheng!”

The crowd chattered away as they walked out, and Lau Quansheng finally grasped the gist of their conversation from the snippets he overheard.

It dawned on him that this massive turnout wasn’t to pick a quarrel, but rather to seek assistance!

The Junior Household Officer finally found his wife among the people on the street and hurried over, reuniting with his spouse.

As Elder Xu’s long-awaited daughter, Madam Xu was in her prime in her twenties, a vision of breathtaking charms. She squinted her eyes and looked at her husband, “I heard that you were the one who found out about Madam Changsheng’s whereabouts?”

The Junior Household Officer promptly nodded, seeking to take credit.

“Excellent, you’ve finally managed to do something worthwhile. Tonight, I’ll properly reward you,” Madam Xu said flirtatiously, giving him a suggestive glance.

The Junior Household Officer immediately beamed radiantly, the idea of tonight’s reward delighted him, as it was a reward not even real gold and silver could match… heh heh…

At that moment, Lau Quansheng, being pushed forward by a group of doctors, suddenly remembered something important he’d forgotten, and turned back to look through the crowded street for the Junior Household Officer.

“Um, Officer of the Household Department, that land deed…” Lau Quansheng jumped high, waving his arms and calling out to the Junior Household Officer.

He had received the silver, but the land deed was not yet settled…

Hearing this, the love-struck Junior Household Officer joyfully shouted back, “You lead the way first. Tomorrow I’ll send the finalized household paperwork to your grocery store!”

Lau Quansheng was momentarily speechless. Just moments ago they were threatening to shut down his grocery store, and now they were kindly offering to deliver his land deed?

Indeed, the minds of officials are unpredictable!

Actually, this could all be summed up in one sentence: When in joyous spirits, everything is negotiable!

Meanwhile, doctors from all over Liuzhou gathered together, a procession of twenty to thirty people following behind Lau Quansheng, grandly parading through the streets and drawing countless curious looks from the citizens. On the other hand, Lau Xiangyang had not even dozed off on the journey, as the hunter’s stamina and speed were fully exerted. Finally, sweating profusely and gasping for breath, he reached Gu Changsheng’s doorstep.

“Chang… Changsheng… Lady, big trouble… not good…”

He collapsed on the stone table, grabbed the teapot, and fiercely poured several gulps of water into his mouth.

Gu Changsheng, who had been competing in endurance with Little Monk Bu Jie, quickly stood up, concern in her voice, “What happened? Weren’t you just going to the government office for the land deed, what big trouble has occurred?”

Could they have been robbed along the way?

That shouldn’t be, it’s only a two-Shichen Chinese Time journey from Mountain-Foot Village to Liuzhou City during the day, and there are plenty of travelers on the road. Who could have dared to rob them, daring even more than she, Gu Changsheng?

“Lady Changsheng, the Officer of the Household Department arrested Brother Quansheng and even called people to arm themselves. They are coming after you. I saw that they don’t seem like good folks, so I hurried back to report,” he quickly caught his breath and urgent spoke, “Lady Changsheng, quickly, take some people and go into hiding. Those people are about to attack.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s beautiful brows furrowed tightly, puzzled, she asked, “Household Officer? Arm themselves?”

That shouldn’t be, there is currently no City Lord in Liuzhou, and everything is managed by County Prince’s Mansion. Not even Yuan Bao, that idiot, would allow people to arm themselves against her!

With Zhou Mu absent, in the Liuzhou Region, she, Gu Changsheng, might be considered second in command, and no one dared claim to be the first. Yet someone dared to arm themselves against her?

And it’s in fact government officials!

“Household Officer!” Suddenly realizing, Gu Changsheng bitterly repeated the term, secretly cursing Yuan Bao, that idiot, from head to toe. Damn it, this was definitely Xiao Chengwen’s accomplice. Yuan Bao must not have fully investigated at the time, allowing Xiao Chengwen’s accomplices to remain for revenge, a fish that escaped the net!

It must be said, Gu Changsheng was mistaken in this. Yuan Bao was truly innocent in this matter; when he dealt with it, he adhered to a policy of rather mistakenly killing a hundred than letting one go. Any suspect had been thrown into high-security prisons. The government office had gone through a major reshuffle, as clean as a whistle. Troubled waters had been cleared, let alone thinking of stirring them to catch fish!

“Boys, unsheathe your swords, draw your bows, I want to see who dares to arm themselves against me!” she shouted coldly to the outside of the courtyard, startling Lau Xiangyang with her stern face.

Who was she? She was Gu Changsheng. Not knowing the strength or weight of her enemy and yet expecting her to concede without a fight?

Keep dreaming!
