Chapter 7: Chief Constable Zheng! Information Updated!

Qin Wang only took a glance and noticed that the space under Li Laocai's bed was relatively flat, with a few cloth shoes blocking the view. Due to the lighting, it wasn't very clear.

"Li Laocai is about to die. He will definitely tell his son, Li Tianyi, the secret about the 850 taels of silver!"

"At that time, will his son transfer it away?"

Qin Wang watched Dr. Bai administer acupuncture to Li Laocai and felt worried.

If Li Laocai's son transferred it, there would be a lot of trouble.

Dr. Bai indeed lived up to his reputation.

With a few needles, Li Laocai stopped trembling, became much calmer, opened his eyes, looked at the people in the room, and finally looked at Dr. Bai, weakly saying, "Thank you... Dr. Bai."

"No need to thank me. This will only keep you conscious temporarily. I'll prescribe some medicine, and you can send someone to pick it up later."

Bai Mingliang got up, and Qin Wang packed up the medicine box and followed Dr. Bai to leave.

Li Laocai's gaze lingered on Qin Wang for a moment, clearly a bit surprised.

At this time, the man in the blue robe approached, respectfully clasping his fists toward Bai Mingliang. "Dr. Bai, I heard from your words just now that the nail that hurt my brother was intentionally placed on the field ridge?"

Bai Mingliang looked at the man in the blue robe and pondered, "From my experience, the nail was undoubtedly soaked in a manure pit. Whether it was deliberately placed to target him, I can't say for sure."

"Thank you, Dr. Bai, for clearing things up!"

Zheng Kecheng nodded and said respectfully, "I'll go with you to get the medicine!"

Accompanied by Zheng Kecheng, Qin Wang carried the medicine box, followed Bai Mingliang out of Li's estate, and just as they stepped out, they saw Granny Yan standing at the door with some items. Seeing Zheng Kecheng, she greeted him humbly, "Chief Constable, I'm here to see Brother Li."

"Mm, I'm going to get the medicine, you go in first!"

Zheng Kecheng nodded to Granny Yan.

Qin Wang and Bai Mingliang returned to Hundred Herbs Hall.

It was almost 6 p.m.

By this time, there were no more patients, and Bai Fenghuan had already prepared dinner, waiting for her grandfather and Qin Wang to return.

After Dr. Bai came back and prepared the medicine, Zheng Kecheng took the medicine and left.

Pharmacist Yu Hai had left work early, so it was only Bai Mingliang, Bai Fenghuan, and Qin Wang having dinner, which consisted of three dishes and a soup.

"Child, eat more and strengthen your body."

Bai Mingliang said kindly to Qin Wang.

"Mm, I know."

Qin Wang nodded. The food at Hundred Herbs Hall was good, and he estimated that it wouldn't be long before he grew stronger.

"Grandpa, does Li Laocai only have a few days left?"

At this moment, Bai Fenghuan looked at her grandfather, Bai Mingliang, blinking her curious eyes.

"How impolite! You should call him Uncle Li considering the family hierarchy!"

Bai Mingliang frowned.

"I don't want such an uncle!"

"He has caused so many people to be homeless! He bought Big Brother's house and land at a low price, heartless! He's getting his just deserts!" Bai Fenghuan pouted, showing a look of indignation in her grape-like big eyes.

"Fenghuan, you must remember! No matter what kind of person he is, the family hierarchy can't be changed!"

"Maybe this is the price he's paying?"

Dr. Bai sighed as he looked at Bai Fenghuan.

Nighttime.

Li Family Estate.

Zheng Kecheng, Li Chunxia, the first wife, and Li Tianyi were all in the room, watching over Li Laocai.

"Brother, have you offended anyone recently?"

As the chief constable of the county office, Zheng Kecheng had solved countless cases. He immediately sensed that his brother-in-law was being targeted!

"Offended anyone?"

After Dr. Bai's acupuncture, although Li Laocai's body was still trembling slightly, he was much more alert and no longer drooling. He thought for a moment and said, "I collected some debts, bought 12 acres of land, and..."

Li Laocai told Zheng Kecheng about the things he had done, one after another.

It was all about usurious loans, buying land and houses at low prices, which inevitably offended people.

"Don't worry, Brother, I'll personally arrest Li Ligang and that bastard child and throw them in jail. As for the second wife, although her brother Ai Lianyun is a protector of the Goldfish Gang, I'll make sure she pays the price too!"

"And, the one who spread the rumors about the second wife's affair is also up to no good! I will definitely find them out!"

Zheng Kecheng said in a deep voice after listening to his brother-in-law, Li Chunchun.

Over the years, his brother-in-law had given a lot in return, and because of their kinship, he had to take action.

Moreover.

Catching this culprit would also earn him merit, so why not?

"Kecheng, Brother... doesn't have... much time left"

"Please look after my... orphan and widow"

Li Laocai looked at his brother-in-law Zheng Kecheng, his voice breaking intermittently. After saying so much, he felt groggy.

"Brother, with me here, the Li family will be fine!"

Zheng Kecheng patted his chest in assurance.

"Mm."

Hearing Zheng Kecheng's words, Li Laocai fell asleep at ease.

Qin Wang returned home and closed the door to start practicing the Taizu Long Fist.

Following the illustrations and annotations in the handwritten manual, he practiced over and over.

When tired, he took a break and then continued.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye.

It was already early morning.

Ding!

"Finally, an update!"

Qin Wang looked at the information on the panel with a look of anticipation in his eyes and began to read.

"Li Laocai will die tomorrow night?"

"Too bad he won't live to see his family fall apart."

Qin Wang felt a surge of satisfaction knowing that Li Laocai would finally die of tetanus. Next, he needed to find a way to bring down the Li family and seize the 850 taels of silver, or even more.

After all.

The silver to redeem his sister Qin Xuemei must come from Li Laocai.
