The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

The people in the room were all taken aback, Ling Baoguo quickly got up and went to the door: "Who is it?"

Ling Feng glanced at Tang Wan and saw that she seemed a bit terrified, so he looked at Sato Saori: "Let’s go have a look too."

After speaking, the two stood up and followed to the door.

Outside, they saw seven or eight people holding torches, standing at the entrance of the courtyard.

And Ling Baoguo was walking towards them.

Ling Feng looked at the people; they were all wearing black cloth clothes that looked like uniforms, and their expressions seemed off, not like they had come to see Ling Baoguo for treatment.

At the door, Ling Baoguo bowed with a smile to the few: "Gentlemen officers, are you looking for me?"

"Ling Baoguo, let me ask you, did you distribute money to the villagers this evening?" one of them said sternly.

"Uh, yes, that’s correct."

Ling Baoguo felt a heavy heart but still nodded immediately.

"You gave each household so many treasure notes, tell me, where did the money come from?" the leader continued to question.

"This..."

Ling Baoguo didn’t know how to answer; instinctively, he didn’t want to betray Ling Feng, because he had already sensed that these government officers had bad intentions.

So he hesitated for a moment and said, "I exchanged them for gold bars."

The lead officer squinted his eyes: "Gold bars? Where did you get these gold bars?"

"Uh..."

Ling Baoguo was obviously not good at lying. His lips moved before he continued: "I... found them."

Sato Saori glanced at Ling Feng, implying, with the current situation, why don’t you stand up?

Ling Feng just smiled and said nothing, quietly watching the door.

At this moment, the lead officer sneered: "Found them? You are really good at finding things, aren’t you afraid to tell you? The gold bars you found are ones our village head lost. How dare you secretly exchange them into treasure notes to distribute to the villagers, are you intentionally going against the village head?"

"Ah?"

Ling Baoguo was stunned.

Claiming to have found the gold bars was a fabricated excuse, yet the other party seized the opportunity, saying the village head lost them?

Isn’t this extortion?

Facing seven or eight ferocious government officers, he didn’t know what to say.

At this point, the leader sneered again: "We don’t want to make things difficult for you. Since you didn’t know they were the village head’s lost gold bars, quickly retrieve the money you distributed and hand it back to us to avoid punishment!"

"..."

Ling Baoguo was speechless.

This was clearly them hearing the news and coming to extort money forcibly.

Ling Feng knew it was his turn to step forward, walked to the doorway, and looked at them: "What shape and weight are the lost gold bars, do they have any writings or patterns on them?"

"Who are you?"

The lead officer scrutinized him up and down.

Ling Feng smiled without speaking, Ling Baoguo quickly said, "He’s a distant relative of mine, this matter has nothing to do with him."

"..."

Ling Feng paused for a moment, immediately understanding his meaning.

These people were greedy and daring. If he admitted to having the gold bars, it would be easy for them to target him.

So Ling Baoguo was trying to protect him.

But Ling Feng didn’t need his protection because these greedy government officers would force Shiliu Village’s people to hand over all the money otherwise!

Ling Feng wondered, why should he give it to them?

So, in a quick mental calculation, just as Ling Baoguo finished speaking, Ling Feng smiled and looked at the lead officer: "If your village head truly lost gold bars, then clarify their shape and weight, and if it matches, we naturally will return the money!"

Of course, the other party couldn’t say anything, the lead officer glared at him: "Kid, this is none of your business, move aside!"

Then he looked at Ling Baoguo: "Will you return or not?"

"I will, I will!"

Ling Baoguo shivered and nodded quickly.

"Stop talking, let me handle this."

Seeing Ling Baoguo’s demeanor, Ling Feng knew these government officers were practically untouchable for ordinary people.

There were reasons for their arrogance.

Ling Feng’s mind was racing fast thinking of strategies to deal with these men, but ultimately evaluated that the safest way was just to get rid of them.

The matter couldn’t be escalated; once it affected too broadly, what if someone else came to Shiliu Village to cause trouble when he wasn’t there?

Thinking of this, he suppressed his anger and said to the head officer: "It’s not as complicated as it seems; you want the village head’s lost gold bars, don’t you? I’ll give them to you!"

"Good."

The other party’s eyes flashed.

Ling Feng nodded his head, turned back into the room, and shortly after he returned, he was holding something glittering gold.

When the officers saw that, their eyes gleamed directly!

Seeing their greedy appearance, Ling Feng sneered internally but also felt a bit helpless.

He didn’t care about this money, just felt a little aggrieved.

Handing over the gold bar to them and seeing their faces full of joy, Ling Feng asked: "Is everything settled now? We are having dinner, so I won’t see you off!"

After speaking, he turned to leave, but unexpectedly, a cold voice sounded behind him: "Stop!"

Ling Feng paused, turned back to look at them: "What’s the matter?"

"Who told you our village head only lost one gold bar?" The lead officer asked with slanted eyes.

Ling Feng felt his heart sink, his fists clenched.

But he still narrowed his eyes, controlled his emotions and asked: "Oh, then how many were lost?"

"That depends on how many you have!" The lead officer, grinning wickedly, said.

"Is that so?"

Ling Feng realized they spelled it out, so he nodded: "Alright, I have seven more here, just enough for each of you to have one. How about it?"

"That’s not enough!"

The lead officer sneered: "We have to report back to the village head, need to give him at least two more pieces!"

"Is that so?"

Ling Feng suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, nodded and said: "Alright, then I’ll add two more, giving you nine pieces!"

"Very good!"

The officer’s eyes shone brightly, almost drooling.

They knew the value of each gold bar; ten years on duty wouldn’t earn them that much!

Especially considering all the corrupt means of gathering wealth; if counting only their wages, even twenty years wouldn’t earn them one gold bar’s worth.

Of course, they were excited.

This is what’s called people’s greed having no bounds.

Ling Feng returned to the room, quickly brought out nine gold bars, handed them over, and asked: "Is everything okay now?"

"Who says?"

The lead officer smiled, then added: "Kid, you have to come with us!"
