Chapter 302 No One to Treat

Another heavy bang was heard, and Yu Zhijian was slammed open by the shaky door, and then fell heavily on the hard ground.

Yu Zhijian felt as if his body was falling apart. Severe pain instantly spread throughout his body, making it difficult for him to move for a while.

At this time, Yun Yue, who was fighting fiercely with Feng Lao Hu, heard the loud noise, turned around quickly, and glanced at Yu Zhijian who was lying on the ground.

With just a quick glance, Yun Yue made a quick decision and flashed away from the battle circle with Feng Lao Hu.

In the blink of an eye, he was standing steadily in front of Yu Zhijian.

Yunyue protected Yu Zhijian behind her, and at the same time, she did not forget to tease him, "Master Yu is no longer able to hold on. He won't be able to hold on for long!"

Yu Zhijian endured the severe pain from his body and climbed up from the ground with difficulty, breathing heavily.

Yu Zhijian gritted his teeth and said, "Stop talking nonsense and think of a solution quickly!"

Feng Lao Hu, who was standing by, was overjoyed when he saw Yun Yue retreating.

Without hesitation, he turned around and rushed towards the window, leaping up nimbly and jumping out of the window in an instant.

After landing, Feng Lao Hu did not dare to delay for a moment and started running wildly along the house.

After running around the house for a whole circle, he finally ran to the front of the house.

At this time, the servants in Feng's mansion had already rushed into the room aggressively.

They were armed with sticks and swords, and surrounded Yu Zhijian and his companions tightly.

Feng Lao Hu pushed aside the servants and walked to the front, hands on his hips, and said proudly: "Dare to mess with me, Grandpa? Today, I will make sure you never come back."

Yu Zhijian stood behind Yun Yue with a solemn expression, and said righteously: "You bold lunatics! How dare you openly attack court officials? Do you know that this is a capital crime..."

Before Yu Zhijian could finish his words, Feng Lao Hu waved his hand impatiently to interrupt him.

"Hmph, I know you are the famous Yu Zhijian! But so what?" Feng Lao Hu looked at Yu Zhijian nonchalantly.

Feng Lao Hu had heard of Yu Zhijian, the imperial envoy, a long time ago, and his name was well-known to him.

As early as when he learned that Yu Zhijian was about to come here, Feng Lao Hu had already sent people to investigate his background and personality thoroughly.

Lord Yu Zhijian has always been known for his impartiality. No matter what kind of temptation he faces, he can stick to his principles and remain unmoved. It is almost impossible to buy him over through bribery.

Feng Lao Hu knew that if the bad things he had done over the years fell into Yu Zhijian's hands, he would have no good ending.

Although I am reluctant to give away the property I have accumulated over the years.

But you need to be alive to spend the money. What’s the use of the money if you’re dead?

Feng Lao Hu knew that after Yu Zhijian had dealt with those high-ranking officials, it would be his turn sooner or later.

He had originally planned to call this group of brothers tonight, get drunk together, and then go up the mountain to become bandits.

Feng Lao Hu and his men have long been drooling over the pretty girls in Baihua Tower.

In the past, they had always been afraid to take action because of the big shots behind Liu Rushi, as they were people who lived on the edge of a knife.

In the eyes of the common people, they may be people who cannot be provoked, just like those dignitaries.

Feng Lao Hu knew very well that when facing a true noble person, if others wanted to crush him, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.

If there was no other way, Feng Lao Hu would never offend any noble person.

So he didn't dare to take over Baihua Tower in the past, and now he is about to become a bandit.

Why bother with all this? The most important thing is to have a good time before leaving.

Originally, Feng Lao Hu thought that based on Baihualou's previous arrogance, they would definitely not take on this banquet performance job.

This way he would have a legitimate excuse to bring his brothers to cause trouble, and he could also take advantage of the chaos to grab a few pretty girls and go up the mountain to warm the beds for his brothers.

In the end, I don’t know if it was true that Liu Rushi’s backing really collapsed.

But when he saw Liu Rushi being thrown into jail, he was so scared that he actually sent the top performer over.

Seeing that Baihualou was so sensible and couldn't find any excuse to cause trouble.

Feng Lao Hu thought that at this moment, it would be better not to cause any more trouble.

As soon as the city gates open tomorrow, we will rush into all the brothels, snatch the top girls and take them up the mountain.

With such a big mountain, Feng Lao Hu didn't believe that Yu Zhijian would dispatch soldiers to capture a small figure like him just for a few prostitutes.

Now everyone has offended Yu Zhijian.

Now that things have come to this, let’s just go all the way!

Feng Lao Hu made a prompt decision and arrested Yu Zhijian. As long as he could control Yu Zhijian as a hostage, there was no fear that he would not be able to escape!

Feng Lao Hu's eyes began to become unscrupulous, and he looked Yu Zhijian up and down.

In all these years, he has never experienced what it feels like to be an official.

Feng Lao Hu narrowed his eyes and grinned at Yu Zhijian, saying, "Sir, if you are willing to follow my brothers, I promise not to make things difficult for others."

Yunyue nodded in agreement and turned back to persuade Yu Zhijian, "Sir, I think his method is good. Sacrificing you can save all of us."

Before Yu Zhijian could speak, Yue Niang was the first to reject the idea, saying, "Sir, you can't trust Feng Lao Hu. He is definitely deceiving us."

Yu Zhijian: Even if my brain is stuck in the door, I will not agree with what Feng Lao Hu said.

Feng Lao Hu approached Yu Zhijian and his group step by step with great momentum.

Although Yunyue said happily, her feet did not move at all, and she did not even retreat an inch.

Feng Lao Hu couldn't help but frown when he saw this.

This person is very skilled in martial arts, and he just said that just to tell him.

His only target is Yu Zhijian, and he will definitely not stop him if he wants to leave.

Now it seems that this person is really Yu Zhijian's bodyguard and has no intention of backing down.

This would make things a little troublesome. With this person blocking our way, I don't know how many people would be lost before we could capture Yu Zhijian.

After Feng Lao Hu pondered for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and decided not to be polite to the other party anymore.

Feng Lao Hu shouted angrily, "You actually refused my toast and then drank the forfeit wine. Don't blame me for being rude, brothers..."

Before Feng Lao Hu uttered the word "up", a wailing sound suddenly came from behind him.

Everyone looked back in shock, only to see Yun Hua leading a group of well-trained secret guards charging towards them.

These secret guards were all agile and armed with sharp blades. They quickly surrounded Feng Lao Hu and his men.

Led by Yunhua, the secret guards rushed forward with a wave of their swords.

For a moment, the flashes of swords and the shadows of knives were intertwined, and the shouts of killing resounded through the sky.

Feng Lao Hu led his mob and rushed over aggressively.

At first glance, there are quite a lot of people in this group, and they are so dense that it makes people feel a little scared.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see with a little observation that these so-called "subordinates" are nothing more than a makeshift team put together at random.

In sharp contrast to them, the secret guards led by Yunhua were well-trained and agile.

Each of these secret guards possesses unique skills and has undergone long-term rigorous professional training. They are first-class in both skills and tactical coordination.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, Feng Lao Hu and others soon fell into a passive position.

As soon as the battle started, the secret guards rushed into the enemy camp as quickly as a tiger descending from the mountain.

The attacks were fierce and precise, each one hitting the vital points.

Although Feng Lao Hu's men fought hard, due to their lack of effective organization and coordinated combat capabilities, their originally neat formation was completely disrupted before long.

At this time, Feng Lao Hu was already unable to take care of himself. He was losing ground, so how could he care about others?

Feng Lao Hu's face was pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was waving the weapon in his hand in a disorderly manner.

Seeing this, the other minions were even more frightened and turned around and fled in all directions, fearing that if they ran slower they would become the victims of the secret guards' knives.

On the other side, Yunhua remained calm the whole time. She knew very well that she could not force Feng Lao Hu into a desperate situation, otherwise he would probably counterattack desperately.

Especially at this moment, Yu Zhijian was still surrounded by Feng Lao Hu. If he did not give the other party a chance to escape, once Feng Lao Hu went crazy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, Yunhua intentionally left some gaps so that Feng Lao Hu and others could see a glimmer of hope of escape.

As a result, Feng Lao Hu's men, just as Yuehua had expected, had no time to deal with Yu Zhijian and were only thinking about escaping from here as quickly as possible.

All his men had run away. Even if Feng Lao Hu wanted to try and catch Yu Zhijian, it would be impossible with Yun Yue blocking his way.

Yunhua rushed in and immediately looked at Yu Zhijian and asked, "Master Yu, are you okay?"

Yu Zhijian shook his head and said, "I'm fine. Go chase Feng Lao Hu and the others."

Upon hearing this, Yunhua nodded without hesitation and replied, "As you wish!"

After saying that, he turned around and sped away like the wind, his figure quickly disappearing into the night.

Yu Zhijian looked at Yunhua who turned around and left decisively, then turned back to look at Yunyue who had already gone into the house to find water and began to wash her hands and tidy her hair.

The expression of disgust was palpable.

Liu Rushi walked into the room anxiously and saw Mengyue lying on the ground with wounds all over her body.

Liu Rushi's heart suddenly tightened, tears instantly blurred her eyes, and she rushed forward, shouting in a trembling voice: "Mengyue, you have to wait, I'm going to find a doctor!"

At this moment, Wu Qi led a group of Jiang constables and arrived at the scene panting.

They were all sweating and out of breath, but they still forced themselves to gather around quickly.

Yu Zhijian acted decisively and ordered his men, "Help carry Miss Mengyue onto the carriage and quickly find a doctor to treat her!"

Upon hearing this, several people immediately took action, carefully lifted Mengyue, and hurried towards the carriage outside the door.

After arranging the medical treatment, Yu Zhijian turned to the others and said, "Everyone else stay here and search the entire Feng Mansion carefully. Don't miss any clues."

Everyone responded in unison, then dispersed and began to search every corner carefully.

From the fact that the secret guards Yunhua brought with him were wearing the uniforms of the Secret Shadow Division, Yunhua's identity was self-evident.

Yu Zhijian now recalled the account books and found that Baihualou had given silver to everyone.

You must know that in the officialdom, officials often form different factions for various reasons.

There are complex relationships and conflicts of interest among these factions.

Generally speaking, in order to obtain important intelligence, some people would even spend a lot of money to bribe officials from the opposing faction, which was a common occurrence.

However, there will never be a situation where silver is used to bribe officials within one's own faction.

After all, people belonging to the same faction already have common interests and goals, and there is no need to exchange information or seek benefits in this way.

Now it seems that Liu Rushi actually gave silver to everyone.

From this we can see that the person backing Liu Rushi was probably not from the State of Yan.

The maidservant following Liu Rushi was a secret guard, and her rank was high enough to mobilize the secret guards for action.

You can tell who owns Baihua Tower just by thinking.

Liu Rushi jumped off the carriage in a panic and staggered towards the closed wooden door of the clinic.

His hands kept banging on the door, making a series of rapid and loud sounds.

Not long after, a voice with obvious anger and impatience shouted from inside the door: "Who is it? You won't let me sleep in the middle of the night!"

Liu Rushi didn't care about anything else and quickly shouted, "Doctor, please open the door quickly! Someone is seriously injured and needs your treatment!"

After a moment of silence in the room, a vague response came: "Wait..."

After a while, there was a creaking sound and the tightly closed wooden door slowly opened.

An old man with messy hair and wearing a coat came out.

He was rubbing his eyes and yawning at the same time. It was obvious that he had just been woken up and looked sleepy.

The old man held a dim oil lamp in his hand and asked weakly, "Have you brought the person?"

Liu Rushi quickly replied, "I brought it. It's in the carriage."

The old man glanced at the carriage and was about to say to carry the person in when he saw the sign on the carriage.

The old man narrowed his eyes immediately, looked at Liu Rushi standing at the door and said, "You are not the owner of Baihualou. The person in the carriage is a prostitute."

Liu Rushi's face froze, but she nodded and said, "Doctor, please, as long as you are willing to save my sister, no amount of money is a problem."

As he said this, he took off the bracelet on his hand and stuffed it into the old doctor's hand, but the old man seemed to be afraid of touching something dirty and withdrew his hand instantly.

Then he turned around and walked into the house without looking back, his face full of disgust and impatience.

The old man waved his hands to drive Liu Rushi away, shouting, "Get out! Stop dirtying my clinic!"

Liu Rushi's face suddenly turned as pale as snow, completely bloodless.

Liu Rushi didn't care that her hand was trapped in the closed door. She desperately used her body to push against the door and begged bitterly, "Doctor, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. You can pay as much silver as you want."

The old man suddenly stopped closing the door. Liu Rushi couldn't help feeling happy, thinking that she had finally convinced the old man.

The other party suddenly opened the door. Before Liu Rushi could react, she felt a huge force coming at her and she involuntarily rushed forward.

With a loud bang, the heavy wooden door slammed shut in front of her, raising a cloud of dust.

No matter how hard Liu Ru knocked on the door or how loudly she begged.

The old man in the room turned a deaf ear and completely ignored the noise outside the door.

In desperation, Liu Rushi could only go door to door along the street and knock on the doors of every clinic.

No clinic is willing to treat them!

Liu Rushi felt Mengyue's breathing becoming increasingly weak!
