Zhen Dalang cried and nodded, indicating that he did not trick him into anything else. Other than being tied up and gagged, his mother and child were still fine.
Only then did Doctor Shen feel at ease. He said, “I am a doctor. If someone is sick, unless they want to die, I am willing to treat them. I am willing to go with you. If I leave with you now, my wife and children will be worried. I hope you can have some pity on me and let me write a letter to tell my family that I have to leave. Moreover, my wife is sick. She needs to take medicine to recuperate from time to time. She has only taken one dose of the medicine today. I haven’t had the time to tell the clinic who the prescription is for. Please let me write the prescription and send it back to my clinic. Then no matter if I go with you or not, I don’t have to worry too much about my wife and family.”
The man with the sword sneered, a little worried that Doctor Shen would tamper with the letter. “Forget about the letter, we will not take this servant with us. We will send him back later. When the time comes, he can tell your family that you went with someone else to treat someone. If it’s a prescription, just write it here.”
The prescription was written with medicinal herbs, so it should not be tampered with.
As he spoke, he struck Da Yong with his hand and knocked him out.
Doctor Shen saw that Da Yong had only fainted. Although this man did not allow him to write a letter, he could still write a prescription. If someone really had bad intentions towards him, they would either pretend to agree that he could write a letter or write a prescription, or they would not agree to both. He assumed that they did not have any bad intentions because they were still willing to send Da Yong back safely.
Thinking of this, Doctor Shen cupped his hands and said, “Many thanks.”
“I’m sorry. There is no other choice.” The man with the sword cupped his fists and said to Doctor Shen. The man who had placed the knife on Doctor Shen’s neck withdrew the knife.
Doctor Shen subconsciously touched his neck.
Zhen Dalang’s house had a pen and ink, so Doctor Shen entered the room and sat at the table to write a prescription.
His wife was indeed taking medicine to recuperate, but she only needed 21 types of medicine. Shen Yuxuan was very talented in medicine. He had mentioned this prescription to his son before. He could even recite it backward. If he added two more types of medicine, even if Shen Yuxuan was not smart in other aspects, he would be able to tell at a glance that something was wrong.
Shen Yuxuan was on good terms with Xue Yan, and Xue Yan was the Crown Prince. If he found something strange, Shen Yuxuan would ask Xue Yan to see if there was an issue. He would tell Xue Yan about the two additional herbs. Xue Yan was smart, he would be able to react to what kind of clues he had left behind.
Although these three people might not have any ill intentions towards him, they had used this method to trick him into coming here and not to Pingan Town or any other place in Xinyuan County. It was obvious that they knew that many people were watching him in Xinyuan County.
Ordinary people wouldn’t know that there would be people watching them in Xinyuan County. The identities of these three people must be advanced.
It was better to be safe than sorry. He had to think of a way to leave some clues behind.
Doctor Shen first wrote down six herbs on the paper, then wrote down the rest. He added the extra two in between, hoping that they would be helpful clues.
Other doctors might not be able to tell that something was wrong. Moreover, those three people needed him to treat someone else. Obviously, they wouldn’t know what the ingredients were for either.
