Chapter 291 - 113 East Mountain_4
"Find a doctor with a wife and children, take them all to the secret chamber, and have all the medicinal materials prepared," Jiang Li said in a low voice. "There’s no other way, given the special circumstances, we can only coerce. Promise them enough silver taels later and ensure their safe departure from Tongxiang, and they will agree." Jiang Li pondered for a moment longer, then added, "Go find Doctor Zhong from Baohe Hall, he’s quite suitable."
There it was again, Ye Mingyu thought. Jiang Li was all too familiar with the affairs of Tongxiang, spouting detailed knowledge of the place as if it were the back of her hand. But what was this all about? Ye Mingyu didn’t ask further, respecting that Jiang Li had her own secrets, even though he was brimming with questions inside.
Tsk, people from the martial arts world prize their nature above all else and never force others against their will.

What happened on East Mountain, where Jiang Li abducted people, had not yet reached the ears of Feng Yutang.
Inside Feng Yutang’s study within his mansion, he paced back and forth. His beautiful concubine knelt on the ground, gently massaging his legs. Serving Princess Yongning had brought him many benefits; not only had he acquired such a luxurious mansion in Tongxiang, but also a houseful of stunning concubines. His study was simply for show, filled with many precious ancient books, but he only loitered there.
Today, however, was a rare serious occasion for him, one that even his attractive concubines couldn’t arouse his interest.
After an indeterminate time, suddenly a voice sounded, and a young servant hurried in from outside. Feng Yutang immediately dismissed his concubines to let the servant enter, closed the door, and watched as the servant took a letter from within his clothes and handed it to him. Feng Yutang rapidly tore open the letter and skimmed through it, then slumped into his chair.
"Master?" the servant asked softly upon seeing his unpleasant complexion.
