Chapter 819 City-wide manhunt
The ghost was about to step forward to grab it, and the masked man immediately said, "Okay, okay! I'll give it to you, but you have to ensure my safety and find me the antidote quickly."
"That's more like it! Don't worry! We in the martial arts world value credibility the most. If you give me money, I will do as you say."
The masked man sneered and said that people in the underworld value their credibility the most, as if he was not the one who raised the price just now.
The ghost stretched out his hand towards the masked man, "Didn't you ask for your autograph? Give it to me!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? The poison has taken effect on me, so go find me an antidote right away." The masked man groaned.
Damn ghost, did he think he didn’t know that when Jiang Youzhen shot the hidden weapon just now, the ghost used him to block it?
If he didn't have to rely on ghosts to escape, he would definitely want to get rid of this kind of person as soon as possible.
"If you don't give it to me, I won't look for the antidote. Who knows if you will regret it?"
The two of them were in a stalemate, and the masked man felt cold all over, "There is no paper and pen now."
"You wait!" The ghost went out of the dilapidated temple and came back with a branch in his hand.
He used a branch to soak up the blood flowing from the masked man, and then tore off a piece of cloth from his inner robe, "Write!"
The masked man was speechless. He had noticed that his body was getting colder and colder. If there was no antidote, he didn't know if he could survive tonight.
As the appointment was written, the ghost reminded him, "Fifty thousand taels, not a penny less."
In the wing room of the Salt Transport Commissioner's office, Jiang Youzhen looked pale and was unconscious.
"Prince Li, the master is seriously injured. Let's let the doctor take a look and bandage him!" Jiang Shoudao said.
Li Dongsheng glanced at Jiang Youzhen, whose face was a little pale, and was in a dilemma for a moment.
If a doctor was found, wouldn’t Jiang Youzhen’s disguise as a man be exposed?
"No need! I have some excellent wound medicine here. She just lost too much blood. Just ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine."
"But..." Jiang Shou was about to say something but was interrupted by Li Dongsheng.
"Go and lend a helping hand to the prefect. I'm here, so don't worry."
Li Dongsheng drove everyone out, then glanced at the unconscious Jiang Youzhen and said inwardly, "I'm sorry!"
Jiang Youzhen was wounded by one sword on his left arm and another on his left shoulder.
He stepped forward and untied Jiang Youzhen's belt, then opened his shirt. He didn't want to look, but was dazzled by the white skin.
He coughed lightly. He really didn't look at it on purpose. In fact, he just took a glance. That's not too much, right?
Her left shoulder was exposed, and her slender and delicate collarbone attracted his attention.
However, the beauty of the fair skin was ruined by a bloody cut, which looked somewhat shocking.
He quickly calmed himself down, cleaned Jiang Youzhen's wound with gauze, and then sprinkled gold medicine on it.
After bandaging it, he looked at the other wound. However, because the wound was on his arm, he could only pull his shirt down.
His eyes were attracted by the chest wrapped in thick white cloth. His face turned red and he quickly covered it with the quilt.
"What a sin! What a sin! I didn't mean to look at it. But I only saw a little bit, it should be okay, right?" Li Dongsheng muttered.
After finally treating the wounds, Li Dongsheng quickly put Jiang Youzhen's clothes on. Although there were a lot of blood stains on them, he didn't dare to change them.
"Someone, where is the decocted medicine?" After Li Dongsheng had finished processing, he opened the door and shouted outside.
The steaming hot medicine was brought up. Li Dongsheng first tested the poison with a silver needle, then took a sip and found that it was warm.
Then when he walked to the bedside, he was in a dilemma again. Jiang Youzhen was already unconscious. Should he force her to drink it? Or should he wait for her to wake up and drink it?
Gritting his teeth, Li Dongsheng stepped forward and lifted up Jiang Youzhen's upper body, and then leaned him on his shoulders.
Holding Jiang Youzhen's chin, Li Dongsheng put a spoonful of medicine into her mouth. Fortunately, although Jiang Youzhen was in a coma, her swallowing instinct was still there.
Jiang Youzhen didn't wake up until dawn. Li Dongsheng was very anxious. Should he really find a doctor?
Half a day later, Jiang Shou and his men finally sent news.
"My Lord, we found something suspicious in a small clinic in the south of the city. The owner of that clinic is the doctor, but when we went to search, we found that the doctor was not in the clinic."
"Have you asked his family where the doctor went?" Li Dongsheng asked hurriedly.
"He said he was going to see patients, but the city was under curfew. He had to register if he wanted to visit a patient's home. We checked the government's registration book, but the doctor's name was not on it."
"Didn't they interrogate him carefully? At least one of the ghost and the masked man was injured. Since the hidden weapon was poisoned, they must find a doctor to detoxify. Any doctor whose whereabouts are unknown is very suspicious."
Li Dongsheng thought, "The ghost's skills are unique and as fast as lightning. Even if the doctor is kidnapped right under your noses, you may not be able to find it."
"My Lord, we have brought the doctor's family here."
"Take him to the next room for interrogation." Li Dongsheng glanced at Jiang Youzhen who was still sleeping soundly, then turned and went to the next room.
After repeated questioning by Li Dongsheng, the woman finally admitted that her husband was not out for a medical consultation, but was missing.
"I don't know where he went. He was processing herbs in the pharmacy. When I saw it was getting late, I went to the pharmacy in front and wanted to ask him to rest early. But when I rushed over, he had disappeared."
"Then why did you hide it from the government?" Li Dongsheng asked.
"I... the whole city is searching today, and the situation is very tense. I'm afraid of causing trouble so I dare not say anything." The woman said shiveringly.
"If he is missing, aren't you afraid that he will be harmed by bad people? Foolish!"
Li Dongsheng was a little worried. The doctor must have been taken away by a ghost. If that was the case, it could be inferred that the injured person should be the masked man.
But the doctor has disappeared, how can they track him down?
"They are still in the city. They definitely can't run far. Search for them with all your strength," Li Dongsheng ordered.
Jiang Youzhen woke up in the afternoon. After she opened her eyes, she felt severe pain in her shoulder.
She lifted the quilt and found that her wound had been bandaged. She was immediately nervous. She looked at her clothes again and found that they had not been changed.
Could it be Li Dongsheng? If it was someone else, they would definitely help her change her clothes as well, because these clothes were all stained with blood.
If it was Li Dongsheng, he wouldn't be afraid of being exposed.
"My Lord, our people have detained many people who have withdrawn more than 10,000 taels of silver in the bank. Three of them are very suspicious, and Lord Tao and Lord Fu are interrogating them now." Jiang Shou came to report.
Li Dongsheng wanted to go there immediately, but he didn't expect to hear the servant report that Jiang Youzhen had woken up.
He turned around and went directly to Jiang Youzhen's room.
