Chapter 553: Du Gong’s Reputation Is Disgraced
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Because they were afraid that Du Gong might escape once the case was reported, the Judicial Magistrate had him captured at the Liang family’s residence the moment they filed the case.
Initially, he was held in the magistrate’s prison, and later transferred to the Grand Court.
Of course, the Liang family wouldn’t let Du Gong escape either. After obtaining the information about the black-clothed men, they had already sent people to monitor Du Gong, waiting for the officials from Jingzhao to come and arrest him.
The Liang family had no shortage of manpower among their male members!
It took the Grand Court six days to thoroughly investigate the ins and outs of this case, leaving no detail unexamined.
Once the case file was compiled and presented to the Emperor, during these six days, the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt on Eldest Young Miss Liu at the Yong’an Inn involving King Dun Yu had already caused a sensation in the Imperial Capital!
“Doctor Du from Zheng Medical Hall, he really doesn’t match his appearance, does he?”
“That’s right. We thought highly of his medical skills, and he seemed quite amiable. I visited him for treatment once, and he was so friendly. I never expected him to be this kind of person!”
“But I can’t figure out what grudge he has with Eldest Young Miss Liu. He’s so ruthless, going after her life! If it weren’t for Second Prince bravely protecting his fiancee, and Eldest Miss Liu being defenseless, she might not have survived, right?”
When they heard ‘defenseless’, the crowd fell silent.
Was Eldest Young Miss Liu really that weak?
Thinking back to a few months ago at the Immortal Guest Restaurant, she was the one who picked up a stool and smashed it over someone’s head!
“But hiring four a.s.sa.s.sins, Eldest Young Miss Liu wouldn’t have been able to resist, right?”
The conversation came full circle, and these people continued, “The grand opening of the Fusheng Pavilion is such a big deal; it’s bound to affect the business of the Zheng Medical Hall! Sometimes grudges are just like that; someone has to be the first to strike!”
“But even if it’s for this reason, we can’t ignore the people of the Imperial Capital! It’s spreading leprosy! Think about it, if Eldest Young Miss Liu hadn’t isolated A’fu, San Yuan, and Si Xi in time, not only Doctor Liu herself would have been infected, but who knows how many others would have contracted leprosy!”
“That’s true!”
“Heh heh, you guys don’t know this, right?”
Someone smugly revealed insider information, “This Eldest Miss Liu, she used to work as an apprentice in the Zheng Medical Hall under the name ‘Zhi Liu,’ right in Doctor Du’s clinic! There might have been grudges from the past!”
II II
People’s mouths are like two pieces of skin; when the upper and lower lips touch, a thousand words, and ten thousand stories can be concocted.
Various rumors spread like wildfire in the Imperial Capital, and the ultimate conclusion was reached.
Du Gong, a hypocrite, wearing one face in front of others and another behind their backs, was a scoundrel in disguise!
Du Gong was sc.u.m; he had an affair with his apprentice Jin Tao and had ambiguous relationships with many women, even some married ones. Who knows how many people he had cuckolded!
Du Gong spread leprosy; his heart deserved condemnation!
Du Gong hired a.s.sa.s.sins to kill the Prince and the future Princess; he deserved a thousand deaths!
Inside the palace, in Deer Seeking Hall.
Liu Shimei fed her silly puppy while saying, “This time, Du Gong has truly fallen from grace.”
“Oh, he deserves it!” Huangfu Lingyao sneered, staring at Liu Shimei, who was feeding him and herself at the same time, and said, “Wife, I have a question…” “What question?” Liu Shimei looked at him in confusion.
He pondered for a while, bit his lip, and said, “That sc.u.m Du Gong, since he’s such a despicable person, did he ever try to do anything inappropriate to you before?”
Only this explanation could account for what happened the day Liu Shimei resigned from the Zheng Medical Hall!
