The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

The situation instantly fell into a deadlock.

Ling Feng knew he had to do something, otherwise things would only get bigger and messier.

So after thinking for a second, he said to those people, "Alright, I admit it. Those men did take me away, but on the way we were attacked, and then they all died!"

As soon as he said that, those investigators immediately tensed up, and the leader then asked in a deep voice, "Did you kill them?"

"This matter, let’s talk about it together in town. If we talk here, it won’t be clear anyway. What do you think?" Ling Feng asked.

When he made this suggestion, the other party’s eyes lit up!

But then, the man in the lead immediately said, "No. You stay here and wait. We’ll go back and report to the village head and wait for his order before we talk!"

After saying that, he turned around and signaled to his men, then hurriedly left with his people.

Only after they’d gone far did Ling Feng let out a wry smile. "These guys are really sly as foxes."

"Wh–what do you mean?"

Ling Baoguo looked confused and asked from the side.

"He’s figured out that those government officers were all killed by me. If they take me away now and I make a move again on the road, what then? So he doesn’t dare arrest me; he’s gone back to call for reinforcements." Ling Feng said calmly.

Ling Baoguo’s eyes widened at that. "Th-then you should hurry and use this chance to run!"

Ling Feng turned his head and looked at him. "I can’t leave. If I leave, they’ll target you and your family. This has already happened; I can’t let you be dragged into this for nothing!"

He had seen enough to understand that this world was pretty dark. A few government officers could extort ordinary people at will, and even dared to kill for money. So if he left, Ling Baoguo’s whole family would definitely suffer.

At this point, he could no longer walk away.

Hearing Ling Feng’s words, Ling Baoguo stomped anxiously. "Brother, did you really kill those government officers?"

"Yes!"

Ling Feng nodded. "They deserved to die!"

"You’ve caused a huge disaster!"

Ling Baoguo let out a long sigh, then said, "Do you know why they came to investigate so quickly? Because the leading government officer’s older brother is the city guard of the county town. He’s at the seventh realm!"

"Oh?"

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes at that, then nodded. "So that’s how it is."

So the reason that government officer was so bold and reckless was because someone had his back.

Once he understood this, Ling Feng’s mind spun rapidly, and he immediately predicted what might happen next.

The worst-case scenario was that the city guard of the county town would personally bring men to hunt him down to avenge his younger brother!

At the same time, Ling Feng also came up with a countermeasure in his mind.

So he said to Ling Baoguo, "Alright, don’t panic. This started because of me, so I’ll definitely see it through to the end!"

"But you alone, how can you possibly deal with so many people?"

Ling Baoguo thought for a moment and still advised, "You should leave now. When the government officers come, I’ll just say you ran away. They won’t make it hard on me!"

Ling Feng couldn’t help but laugh. "You’re thinking too simply. From what I know of these people, they won’t let you off that easily!"

If he left, where would the city guard vent his rage?

By then, not only would Ling Baoguo’s family suffer, the entire Shiliu Village might be dragged down!

He had already decided he definitely wouldn’t leave. No matter how Ling Baoguo tried to persuade him, it was useless. In the end, it was Sato Saori who stepped out and told him not to worry; since Ling Feng chose to stay, he naturally had a way to deal with them.

Ling Baoguo was half-believing, but there was nothing else he could do, so he could only leave it at that.

After that, Ling Feng didn’t leave and stayed in Ling Baoguo’s courtyard. He brewed a pot of tea on the table under the tree and patiently waited.

He ended up waiting a long time; three hours passed and there was still no one at the village entrance.

After waiting so long, even Ling Feng was running out of patience.

At five in the afternoon, with the sun already slanting west, Sato Saori noticed dust rising by the village entrance; it seemed a large troop was approaching, so she nudged the drowsy Ling Feng.

Lifting his head, Ling Feng glanced in that direction, then swept over them with his Divine Sense.

There were nearly two hundred people coming.

Leading them was a fat man in a dark red robe, riding a tall warhorse. Behind him were a few others on horseback, all dressed in black.

As for those on foot, although they were also in black, they had no emblem on their chests.

Ling Feng could tell that these people were of different ranks.

He turned his head to look at Ling Baoguo and his wife and said, "You two go inside the house first. Leave this to us!"

"There are quite a lot of them, right? C-can you really handle them?" Ling Baoguo asked.

"Relax. With me here, nothing will happen."

Ling Feng smiled with an easy calm, without the slightest hint of tension.

Ling Baoguo and his wife were both nervous. Seeing him talk like that, they didn’t know what else to say, so they went back into the house together.

Ling Feng remained seated under the tree drinking tea. The water had been changed several times, and the tea leaves had long lost their flavor.

The troop at the village entrance quickly arrived at the gate, then came to a stop. The man who had come earlier pointed at Ling Feng and said something to the fat man on horseback.

A sharp light flashed in the fat man’s eyes. He squinted at Ling Feng for a few seconds, then swung down from his horse!

As soon as he dismounted, the black-clothed men behind him also dismounted.

Then a crowd of people surrounded this fat man and walked to the courtyard gate.

"Hey!"

Seeing that Ling Feng didn’t even lift his head, a surge of anger rose in the fat man’s chest. He glared at Ling Feng and shouted, "I’ve led so many men here, and you still dare to pretend to be calm? Stand up!"

Only then did Ling Feng raise his head and give him a glance. He said blandly, "Who said I’m pretending to be calm?"

"Kid, I’m asking you questions. You’d better be sensible, or this place will be your grave!" the fat man barked.

Ling Feng stood up at that and walked leisurely toward the gate, smiling. "People in your place really dare to kill at will just because they have a bit of power, huh?"

"People in our place?"

The fat man was stunned for a moment, then asked coldly, "Kid, where are you from?"

"I don’t belong to this world."

Ling Feng smiled, then said, "Even if I told you, you wouldn’t know it."

"..."

The fat man was a bit speechless, feeling that Ling Feng was just too arrogant!

He then asked in a deep voice, "Where is my younger brother, Pang De?"

"Who’s Pang De?"

Ling Feng deliberately played dumb and frowned as he asked.

"He’s the government officer who came to your village earlier and then disappeared!" the investigator from before said.

Ling Feng let out an "oh," then looked at the fat man. "He was too greedy, tried to murder for money, and then I killed him."
