Chapter 1729: Retribution
Chapter 1729: Retribution
Editor: Henyee Translations
The next morning, Shao Qingyuan went to take the man’s pulse again.
Only then did the man say his name—Dali.
Gu Yundong was speechless. F*ck, this sounded like a fake name. How dare you say it out loud? You might as well let her say ’hello’.
Dali’s injuries were healing well. Perhaps it was because he was injured often, but he was adapting well and his endurance was astonishing.
However, in his current state, he could not get out of bed and could only continue to recuperate in the courtyard.
Shao Qingyuan asked Shao Quan, who had come to change shifts, to stay and take care of him. Shao Quan had learned medicine from him and was already very proficient in basic care.
With that, Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong planned to leave.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Dali thought for a moment and said, "Regarding that Doctor Qiao, whether you believe it or not, just be careful. As for the marquis family of Pingnan... it’s best to interact less so as not to implicate you in the future."
Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong suddenly turned around, but Dali had already closed his eyes and was unwilling to say anything.
The two of them could only walk out of his room. When they reached the courtyard, they could not help but look at each other.
There was a lot of information in Dali’s words just now.
What did he mean by implicating them? What did the marquis family do to implicate those who came into contact with them? Who was Dali working for?
The person who dared to face the South Marquis of Ping must have a high status.
Shao Qingyuan and his wife’s expressions turned solemn. The two of them didn’t say anything. They greeted Gu Dafeng and her husband, who had already opened the door to the shop, and planned to return to the Shao residence first.
They did not expect to see Constable Jian, whom he had just met yesterday, not long after he walked out of the shop.
Thinking of what Dali had said about the marquis family, the two of them directly walked towards him.
"Where is Constable Jian going in such a hurry? Did you catch that assassin yesterday?"
Constable Jian had a good impression of Shao Qingyuan and his wife. When he heard this, he shook his head. "It’s not that easy. I don’t know where he went."
Gu Yundong was surprised. "You didn’t find him? Then wouldn’t the marquis family make things difficult for you?"
Constable Jian sneered and said softly, "Isn’t that so? Prince Han is very arrogant."
After saying that, he suddenly felt a little smug. "But at most, he’ll scold us a few times. We’re the subordinates of Prefecture Magistrate Dai. He won’t dare to do anything to us."
"Is Constable Jian still looking for him?"
"There’s no need for me to do that. There have been a lot of things going on in the prefectural city recently. How can we have the time to mobilize so many people to help them? Lord only sent two people to help run around. As for the rest, let that Prince Han think of a way himself."
Speaking of this, Constable Jian felt relieved.
Yesterday, when he couldn’t find the assassin, Prince Han scolded him in front of so many of his subordinates, saying that he was absolutely useless.
If Prince Han was so capable, how could he let a seriously injured person escape under the siege of their guards?
He only knew how to say nonsense. Now, he had suffered retribution, right? He deserved it.
"His Excellency said that our government office has limited manpower. Now that it’s almost time for the medical conference, there are many people coming and going in the city. We really can’t spare any manpower. We can only trouble Prince Han to find the assassin himself. We can’t disturb the people too much."
Gu Yundong raised his eyebrows. "Aren’t your lord afraid of offending Marquis Pingnan?"
