Returning to the Convenient Medical Diagnosis Point, Lin Miao instructed Xia Zhu to file Shang Youwei’s diagnosis, prescription, and medical advice.

Though they were delayed for more than half an hour, the consultations proceeded as usual; thirty patients in the morning were still all attended to.

Patients continued to arrive in an endless stream.

Lin Miao conducted consultations during the day, and at night returned to give small lessons to his senior sister and Xia Zhu. It seemed as if what happened at Shanglin Temple was unknown to anyone, and it was not mentioned again.

Lin Miao currently had no way to deal with Shanglin Temple. After all, how can one person contend with such a powerful group? They had hundreds of monks, all skilled, and even just in terms of reputation, they were far superior.

Even if he reported them, they wouldn’t admit it. Just relying on his word, what use would it be?

They sent a monk to apologize, and from their perspective, that was the most they could do. Shanglin Temple had already severely punished those few fellow monks, what more could he want?

On the contrary, it seemed he was the one being "unreasonable," as they too were "victims."

Marquis Lingyang’s Mansion also understood that scandals should not be publicized. Mr. Xue, having suffered such a loss, hid at home pretending to be ill.

The cronies he used to associate with also turned him away.

Even when Mr. Pei visited the mansion, he couldn’t meet Mr. Xue, who claimed to fear spreading his illness. Influenza can indeed spread, but the illness Mr. Xue had wasn’t influenza at all, so there was no fear of contagion. They simply didn’t want the outside world to know Mr. Xue had become a "eunuch."

Though they used Shi Yin’s name to attract Mr. Pei to Huaye Tower, they didn’t gain much information about Mr. Xue.

Additionally, Ye Mi Yuan, who was captured and taken to the Arresting Department, surprisingly had ties to Ye Shengyuan, being his nephew. This was beyond Lin Miao’s expectations.

Ye Mi Yuan’s status was quite unusual; he was an arresting officer. He must have been following them under Ye Shengyuan’s orders, showing he had never given up his suspicions about them.

Ye Shengyuan was indeed difficult to deal with. Whether he had found some evidence or was merely suspicious was unclear.

If it was the latter, it would be easier to handle.

The fear was that the man would keep an eye on him, which would be troublesome.

Some people just trust their instincts so blindly that they are hard to change.

If he truly had evidence, he wouldn’t have secretly sent Ye Mi Yuan to follow them, nor pretended to be a patient to test them.

Following them around could be explained, but pretending to be a patient to test them was a motive hard to guess.

Was he testing his true ability?

Was this a strategy to alert without catching the snake?

Or did Ye Shengyuan suspect him of knocking out Ye Mi Yuan, crippling Mr. Xue, and rescuing his senior sister? But what basis did he have for this suspicion, and wasn’t he afraid they might kill Ye Mi Yuan?

Was he gambling with Ye Mi Yuan’s life?

Ye Shengyuan was quite ruthless even towards his own men.

He long knew Ye Shengyuan harbored hostility towards him, but he hadn’t expected him to target him so deliberately. Also, Ye Shengyuan was related to Marquis Lingyang’s Mansion.

Had the villains learned to stick together?

What surprised Lin Miao was that the Dongshan Prefecture Arresting Department, after confirming Ye Mi Yuan’s identity, didn’t release him but continued to detain him.

Was Mr. Feng so stubborn?

Daring to stand against Ye Shengyuan, who had Marquis Lingyang’s Mansion as a backing?

After all, as the informant, once the Arresting Department took the man away, Lin Miao didn’t intend to inquire further. First, because his inquiries wouldn’t change anything, and second, if he showed too much concern over the matter, it would surely arouse Ye Shengyuan’s suspicion.

As a military "fugitive," why would a physician unrelated to the matter care so much?

He planned to put the matter behind him, not show too much concern, but stealthily observe how the Arresting Department would deal with Ye Mi Yuan.

According to court regulations, when a case is reported, it must be investigated according to procedure. Whether in convicting or releasing, the cause and effect must be clearly written in the records.

If the court pursued it, they would have reasons and evidence.

Feng Sheng’s refusal to release him was reasonable. Even though Ye Mi Yuan’s identity was confirmed, and he had taken leave to return to Dongshan City without violating any regulations, how to explain his injuries?

Who beat him?

If someone else beat him, why did it happen? What had he encountered? Without clarifying this, Feng Sheng had every reason not to let him go.

The information Mr. Xie gathered indicated that even Ye Shengyuan went to personally demand the release from Feng Sheng, only to be refused.

Afterwards, Ye Mi Yuan wasn’t suffering in the Arresting Department’s cell, yet he wasn’t comfortable either, as he received another twenty strokes from the department.

This news almost made Lin Miao laugh out loud.

As an arresting officer, Ye Mi Yuan probably had never faced such indignity in his life, nor had he suffered such humiliation.

This matter likely wouldn’t reach any resolution soon, unless a significant figure intervened.

...

"This is the Three Character Classics of Pharmacy. From today onward, each of you must memorize it and understand them," Lin Miao, having worked a few nights, finally compiled this renowned introductory medical book.

Actually, writing it from memory was easy; the challenging part was adapting it to suit the medical history and advancements in this world.

This truly taxed the brain.

Otherwise, if merely copying, how would they explain some people and matters?
