Subsequently, Deputy Officer Liang had the guards fully armed and stationed at the entrance of the courtyard.
Seeing this formation, everyone understood that if they couldn't cure the Jiang Province Governor's daughter, no one would be able to escape unscathed.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
The Jiang Province Governor was truly ruthless, even resorting to such tactics. It was likely that many doctors had been thrown into prison by him before.
"If you have any requests, feel free to state them. As long as you can cure the young lady, the Governor will meet any condition you propose," Deputy Officer Liang said.
At this moment, everyone was trembling with fear and didn't dare to make any demands.
"Deputy Officer Liang, I am not a doctor. May I leave?"
Yuwen Sheng hurried over, asking Deputy Officer Liang with a face full of respect.
"No!"
Deputy Officer Liang refused directly.
"From now on, no one is allowed to leave the courtyard by even half a step. You have one month to cure the young lady. Otherwise, the Governor will deal with you under the charge of quackery and harming people. You'll be waiting to spend a lifetime in prison!"
Yuwen Sheng's face showed regret.
He had originally thought that since he wasn't a doctor, he could leave the courtyard.
To his surprise, he couldn't leave at all.
The situation had exceeded Yuwen Sheng's expectations.
"There are quite a few rooms in this courtyard. Find a place to settle down first."
"I will send someone to deliver food to you later, and each of you will also receive a copy of the young lady's medical records. After you understand her condition, I will take you to treat her tomorrow."
After speaking, the deputy officer left the courtyard directly.
Everyone had a complex expression on their faces.
"Everyone, don't worry!"
Yuwen Sheng scanned everyone and said, "With Senior Wu here, we will definitely be able to cure the Governor's daughter's illness. Then, we will all be fine and even receive rewards from the Governor."
These words lifted the burden from everyone's hearts.
"What Yuwen Sheng said is right. I can cure the Governor's daughter's illness. You don't need to worry about anything," Wu Chengwen said.
Seeing Wu Chengwen's confidence, everyone was overjoyed.
Jiang Yi ignored these people and scanned the courtyard, noticing that there were indeed many rooms.
This place was probably the dormitory for the Governor's Mansion guards in the past.
Jiang Yi walked into one of the rooms.
The room contained a bed and some furniture. It looked a bit simple but was very neat and clean.
Jiang Yi took out his phone and dialed Dongfang Mei's number.
"I'll be staying at the Governor's Mansion for a few days and can't return for now!" Jiang Yi said.
"You haven't been detained by the Governor, have you?"
On the other end of the phone, Dongfang Mei said, "If anything happens, notify me immediately. If the Jiang Province Governor dares to touch you, I'll deal with him first."
Jiang Yi didn't say anything and hung up the phone.
Shadow was right; Dongfang Mei did care about him.
After a while, guards brought the food and the Jiang Province Governor's daughter's medical records to the room.
It was just mealtime.
Jiang Yi ate while reading the medical records.
The Governor's daughter was suffering from acute heart disease, often fainting due to sudden heart attacks.
She used to faint once every few months, but now her condition had worsened, and she fainted every day.
This illness was something she had since birth.
The Governor's surname was Zhou, and his name was Zhou Wentian.
His daughter's name was Zhou Yuanyuan.
Jiang Yi had seen this kind of illness before; a foreigner whose illness was cured by his master.
However, Zhou Yuanyuan's illness was much more severe than that foreigner's.
Wu Chengwen's medical skills were less than a tenth of Jiang Yi's.
Jiang Yi was certain that with Wu Chengwen's abilities, he wouldn't be able to cure Zhou Yuanyuan.
This time, he had to personally step in.
"Knock, knock..."
A knock sounded from outside the room.
"Please come in!" Jiang Yi called out.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zhen and Wei Zhong walked in from outside, their faces filled with wry smiles.
"Master Jiang, the Governor has ordered the entire back courtyard to be sealed off starting today. No one can leave here. We can't do anything about it!"
Wei Zhong took a deep breath.
"Master Jiang, please bear with us during this time!" Bai Zhen said.
"It's fine!"
Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
"If I want to leave, no one can stop me. I will stay here until I cure the Governor's daughter's illness. You can go back and wait for my good news."
Seeing that Jiang Yi was not angry about this matter, Bai Zhen and Wei Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Jiang, you must have read Miss Zhou's medical records. How confident are you in curing her?" Bai Zhen asked.
Wei Zhong also looked at Jiang Yi eagerly.
"I am 100% confident!" Jiang Yi said.
Smiles appeared on Bai Zhen and Wei Zhong's faces.
"Don't tell anyone about this. Just you two know!" Jiang Yi said.
"Mm."
Bai Zhen and Wei Zhong nodded.
Then, they bid farewell to Jiang Yi and left the Governor's Mansion.
In the evening, Jiang Yi, bored, walked out of his room and into the courtyard.
Jiang Yi took out a cigarette and was about to light it.
Suddenly, he heard a commotion from the neighboring courtyard.
Jiang Yi, feeling curious, climbed over the wall and looked into the adjacent courtyard.
He saw a man lying in the middle of the courtyard.
The man's legs were paralyzed, and he lay on the ground in a sorry state.
Servants stood around, reaching out to help the man.
The man resisted fiercely, struggling non-stop.
Jiang Yi looked towards the window on the third floor.
The window was open, indicating that the man had likely fallen from it.
"Don't stop me, let me die!"
The man roared at the servants around him.
The servants were so scared that they didn't dare to approach.
A moment later, Jiang Province Governor Zhou Wentian walked into the courtyard.
Seeing Zhou Wentian arrive, the servants quickly made way.
Zhou Wentian looked at the man's current state, his face filled with anger. He walked over and slapped the man directly.
"You scoundrel! Your sister only has half a day left to live, and you're causing trouble here," Zhou Wentian yelled furiously.
"I've become crippled, what's the point of living!"
The man said emotionally, "Only death can free me."
"If you want to die, then go ahead. I don't want to bother with you anymore! All of you leave the courtyard and don't stop him."
Zhou Wentian left the courtyard with a face full of anger.
The servants in the courtyard left one by one.
Finally, only the man remained in the courtyard.
The man let out a self-mocking cold laugh, then crawled to a broken wheelchair nearby.
Afterward, he picked up a piece of broken glass from the ground.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi frowned slightly.
This man was Zhou Wentian's son, Zhou Mao.
The eldest young master of the Zhou family, once a prominent figure.
