Chapter 159 Caught in the Net
"Just now at the door, I saw you sneaking around hiding something. When I dug it out, it turned out to be the antidote. You killed Yu Louchun, hid the treasure, and even wanted to keep the antidote for yourself."
"Are you going to live a carefree life while we brothers wait to die?"
When the group took out the antidote, Xin Jue's eyes widened in disbelief.
"I'll kill you."
The lead guard wanted to draw his sword and commit violence, but was stopped by Fang Duobing.
"Now that the murderer has been caught, our Baichuan Academy will handle the matter tomorrow, so please don't be impatient."
"There's still two months' worth left here, so I won't leave any for you, you piece of trash. Lock him in the woodshed."
"It's true that I kept the antidote, but it was placed on my table along with the treasure. What's wrong with wanting to live?"
Even though Xin Jue was unable to move, he refused to admit that he had killed someone to hide the treasure.
"Young Master Fang, Doctor Li, it wasn't me, it wasn't me! This is a frame-up, a frame-up!"
Seeing the other guards come to pull him away, Xin Jue quickly asked Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua for help.
Judging by the situation, Xin Jue is definitely going to get a beating after being dragged away, and who knows...
"and many more."
Li Lianhua called out to the group.
"Does Doctor Li intend to plead for this man who disregards the lives of his brothers?"
The guards stopped, wanting to hear what Li Lianhua had to say.
"There's no need to plead for him. The people from Hyakukawa will be here tomorrow, and he will be punished for his crimes. You should all refrain from causing trouble for yourselves."
"Ha, why should I listen to you? Besides, I've committed quite a few serious offenses with Yu Louchun over the years, one more won't make a difference."
"Moreover, the antidote we've been working so hard to prepare only lasts for two months, so whether we do it or not makes no difference."
The lead guard seemed indifferent to life and death, ready to fight if anyone disagreed; he was completely resigned to his fate.
"I have already figured out the antidote for the 'Heart and Soul' poison. Given more time, the 'Heart and Soul' poison in your bodies will be completely eliminated."
Li Lianhua was puzzled. When she spoke this morning, there should have been more than just Xin Jue among the guards present. Did they not believe her and not spread the word among themselves?
"If it's that simple, how could we have been controlled by Yu Louchun for so many years?"
The lead guard didn't believe it.
"Do you really think that Li Lianhua's reputation as a miracle doctor is undeserved? This is simple; what's not simple is Li Lianhua himself."
Fang Duobing is the kind of person who sometimes prefers to believe Li Lianhua rather than himself, so naturally he won't allow others to speak ill of Li Lianhua.
"Prepare the necessary medicines, and we'll see if it works tomorrow. But before that, I don't want to see anyone get hurt."
"What? You think we'll run away in just two days? Or do you think you won't live to see tomorrow?"
Fang Duobing: Since ancient times, the method of provocation has been the most effective.
"you······"
The lead guard was rendered speechless by what he was being said.
“Zhang Lan, I believe in Doctor Li. He has a reputation for healing the dead and restoring flesh to bones.”
A guard went up and grabbed the lead guard's arm, not wanting him to get into a conflict with someone.
"Yes, Zhang Lan, I also believe that such heartfelt devotion is nothing in the hands of Doctor Li. Why don't we trust him?"
Another guard was also trying to persuade them.
"Yes, it won't make a difference if we don't develop an antidote. If we can really develop an antidote, we'll have more than two months to live."
Although he was trying to persuade her, his tone grew increasingly dejected. He was forced to work as a guard here, but who would want to die if they could live?
