Medical Consort, the Prince is Pretending to be Dumb Again
Chapter 513 - 513: Confession
Chapter 513: Confession
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I… I…” The four men in black wished they could die right there and then.
However, they weren’t the kind of fanatical assassins who would take their own lives if their mission failed. They were skilled, hired mercenaries, not fanatics.
Given the chance, they all wanted to live. They could only follow the agonizing sensation, scratching and rubbing their bodies in desperation.
One of them, in unbearable pain, writhed and begged, “I’ll talk! I’ll talk!”
Liang Yi released the one in her grasp and went over to grab the other, asking, “Fine, speak!”
The man in black said, “It was… it was… Du Gong from the Zheng Medical Hall who hired us to kill Liu Shimei!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDu Gong!
Liu Shimei raised an eyebrow. She thought, “The play I staged that day with the porridge was meant to make Du Gong lose his composure and eventually fall into his own trap. As expected, my predictions were right. But…”
She glanced back at Huangfu Lingyao sitting on the master’s chair, his clothes stained with blood, his face slightly pale due to loss of blood. She regretted it deeply, thinking, “If I had known that Lingyao would bear this consequence, I wouldn’t have done it this way!”
Her heart was filled with guilt, but when Huangfu Lingyao saw her glance back at him, he immediately gave her a reassuring smile, as if to say, “Wife, I’m fine.”
In that moment, Liu Shimei felt a mess inside, a strong urge to cry overwhelming her.
In fact, this urge had begun when she was tending to his wounds in the carriage.
Meanwhile, Liang Yi’s interrogation continued.
He slapped the man and demanded, “So, what did Du Gong offer you that made you audacious enough to harm the people of my Liang family!”
King Dun Yu was a royal prince, and Liu Shimei was the daughter of a high-ranking official. Attempting to harm them, the audacity! These men must have been insane to take on such a job!
The black-clad man stammered, “On-on-on…e hundred… hundred… one hundred taels…”
Everyone was stunned.
Liang Wei’s eyebrows, now streaked with white, shot up in surprise. He instinctively asked, “A hundred taels of gold coins?”
The black-clad man trembled, his voice shaky, “No no no… a hundred taels… of silver coins!”
Everyone,”…”
Liu Shimei,”…”
Her life was worth 100 silver coins?
She wanted to curse, to vent her frustration with a hearty expletive!
Seeing someone had already confessed, another black-clad man, fearing he might not be cured if he didn’t confess, hastily said, “General, please calm down. We originally thought, four of us going to kill a young girl without any martial arts skills, and she even had a little fool with her, how hard could it be? So, each of us demanded 100 silver coins. It was our shortsightedness, our mistake!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWho would have thought this young girl’s poison was so potent?!
“A total of 400 silver coins?” Liu Shimei lightly chewed on these words, snorted coldly, and said, “This Du Gong really underestimates me, doesn’t he?”
All those titles of being the legitimate daughter of a prominent family, the granddaughter of the Liang family, they were just superficial. Even her identity as the Princess Consort of Dun Yu wasn’t worth much.
But…
She was a doctor! These hands could save thousands of lives; she was invaluable!
Du Gong, himself a physician, wanted to buy her life with 400 silver coins!
That old man, she was determined to teach him a lesson!
Liang Yi let go of the black-clad man’s collar, still seething with anger, and kicked each person in turn.
From behind came a voice, “Ninth Brother, well done with the kicks, help me with one more kick!”
