In the Hall of Medicine Kings, Doctor Liang was still excited about the earlier events when Yan Song and a group of people burst into the hall.
Doctor Liang was stunned, not understanding why.
"My lord, what are you doing?"
"Doctor Liang, someone has repeatedly accused you of selling poisonous pills?"
"My lord, this must be a misunderstanding. My Hall of Medicine Kings only dispenses good medicine to cure people. Someone must be framing me."
"Whether it's a frame-up or not, a search will tell."
"No, my lord, I advise you to mind your own business."
Doctor Liang threatened Yan Song, unaware of his identity as the Grand Judge of Dali Temple.
With a gesture from his hidden hand towards his shop's medicine boys, a young one, unnoticed by the crowd, escaped.
Just then, Leng Ruo Li, who had arrived at the entrance, walked in and immediately apprehended the fleeing medicine boy, tossing him back into the medical hall.
Doctor Liang was almost infuriated to death by Leng Ruo Li, who had cut off his escape route.
"My lord, the pills sold in this shop are deeply problematic," Leng Ruo Li stated coldly.
On her way back to the Hall of Medicine Kings, she had directly thrown the pills she'd obtained from Liu Nian Hua into the analysis instrument within her system space. The results had angered Leng Ruo Li to the point she almost wanted to kill someone; the pills contained human…
Hearing this, Doctor Liang glared at Leng Ruo Li with resentment, "Did you go to the authorities to report me?"
"Do I need to report you?"
As a medical practitioner, she deeply detested such villains who used medicine to harm people. Even if Jun Mo Han hadn't helped her today, she would have personally dealt with such a doctor with impure intentions.
Afterwards, Leng Ruo Li took a serious look at Yan Song. The man was around forty years old, tall, dark-skinned, with a square face and an upright demeanor. As someone called by Jun Mo Han, she felt he should be reliable.
She then said respectfully, "My lord, I suspect this medical hall hides a tremendous secret."
At the same time, Yan Song was appraising her. Prince Leng had asked him to investigate this matter with a young girl. Could it be her? Seeing her so slender, with thin arms and legs, could she be capable?
Yan Song paused for a moment before regaining his senses and asking, "Miss, do you have any evidence?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Ruo Li took out two pills from her sleeve and handed them to Yan Song.
"My lord, please smell these pills. Don't they have a very foul odor?"
Yan Song immediately took the pills and sniffed them, his brow furrowing. These pills indeed had a pungent, foul smell.
"Miss, what does this prove?"
"Now, smell the ones in this medical hall. Don't they also have the same smell, and a very strong one at that?"
As she finished speaking, everyone in the room took a deep breath. There was indeed a foul smell, and it seemed like the smell of rotten flesh.
"Someone, search this entire medical hall thoroughly!"
"Yes!"
The yamen runners immediately began searching the medical hall, not even sparing the backyard. However, they found nothing in the end.
When the yamen runners reported this result to Yan Song, he frowned again. Looking at the composed Leng Ruo Li, he said, "Miss, nothing suspicious was found."
Leng Ruo Li gave him a mysterious smile.
Meanwhile, Doctor Liang on the side breathed a sigh of relief, his face showing smugness. "My lord, did you find anything?"
Yan Song fell silent.
Leng Ruo Li, however, smilingly said to him, "Doctor Liang, don't rush. Isn't there one place left to search? We won't disappoint you."
Turning to Leng Ruo Li, she said sternly, "My lord, there is one place we haven't searched yet."
"Miss, the medical hall is only this big. Even the backyard has been searched."
"No, it's not in the backyard, but within this medical hall."
With that, she walked around the entire wall of the medical hall. On the wall closest to the counter, she found some water stains. Leng Ruo Li crouched down and sniffed; the smell was very foul.
She tapped the ground casually. The sound of "bang bang bang" echoed, indicating that there was a secret chamber underground.
Leng Ruo Li carefully observed her surroundings, looking for any mechanisms. Suddenly, she noticed a landscape painting hanging beside her. She immediately lifted it, revealing a bizarre Bagua diagram behind the painting.
Leng Ruo Li pressed the two black dots in the center of the Taiji, and a door instantly opened on the wall.
The foul smell from the medical hall intensified.
Everyone in the entire medical hall was utterly shocked.
Even Jun Mo Han, standing outside the medical hall, showed an unusual expression at Leng Ruo Li's discovery.
He hadn't expected this woman to be so capable, that even Yan Song, who had been investigating cases for so many years, hadn't noticed this problem.
Only Doctor Liang instantly became flustered and lost his composure.
Leng Ruo Li, despite wearing a veil, couldn't block the pungent odor, and the people in the medical hall also pulled out handkerchiefs to cover their noses.
"My lord, shall we go inside and take a look?" Leng Ruo Li said to Yan Song.
Yan Song nodded at Leng Ruo Li, deeply impressed by her perception. Even as a detective for many years, he hadn't noticed this issue.
The two, one after the other, led more than a dozen yamen runners into the secret chamber, while Doctor Liang had already been controlled by Yan Song.
This secret chamber was very large. The group walked through a corridor about 50 meters long and two meters wide. The pungent odor caused everyone to vomit on the spot.
When Leng Ruo Li and Yan Song reached the end of the secret tunnel, they were both horrified by the scene before them.
Damn it!
Who could be so insane!
This spacious secret chamber was filled with so many corpses, some of them fresh. Leng Ruo Li counted them in her mind; there were a total of thirty-two corpses, each soaked in a large water vat. The corpses emitted a rotten smell. Leng Ruo Li didn't even know what the liquid in the vats was; it was dark and murky, and the entire secret chamber reeked nauseatingly.
This was truly disgusting.
Even as a doctor and a special agent accustomed to all sorts of scenes, she couldn't stand it.
Within the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Leng Ruo Li and Yan Song, along with everyone else, rushed out.
Upon emerging, the group almost vomited all their insides out.
"Doctor Liang, do you have anything else to say?" Yan Song asked him with a chilling tone.
"My lord, I am just an ordinary doctor. I had nothing to do with what's in this secret chamber," Doctor Liang defended himself.
"Hmph, you still want to quibble when death is upon you," Yan Song said angrily.
After a moment, he shouted at the yamen runners beside him, "Come, let the victims and their families come in."
Instantly, a group of weeping people, young and old, men and women, poured in from the entrance of the medical hall.
They knelt before Yan Song and cried, "My lord, please uphold justice for us."
A woman said, "My husband fell ill some time ago and came to the Hall of Medicine Kings for treatment. He spent ten taels of silver to buy the pills made by Doctor Liang. After taking them for two days, he was gone."
An old man said, "My wife was suffering from back pain. Hearing that the Hall of Medicine Kings had a divine medicine that could cure all ailments, she spent a large sum to buy those pills. But after taking them for only a few days, she died."
Another man said, "My son also died after taking medicine from the Hall of Medicine Kings for his illness. As a father, I want him (Doctor Liang) to pay with his life."
"..."
Doctor Liang's deeds of harming people were recounted one by one by these individuals, making one's scalp tingle.
