Chapter 2009: Taken Away by Force

After Hou Zhong left the Ministry of Justice, he went to see Hou Yi and Yuan Ji and told them the news he had received from Guan Zhuo.

Yuan Ji and Hou Yi were also very excited. As expected, they both attached great importance to this matter.

After that, Hou Zhong led people directly into the palace. With his identity, there was no problem for him to enter and leave the palace freely, at least before the new emperor ascended the throne.

Doctor Liu didn't know that his handwriting had been exposed. After leaving Zhao Lun's house, he returned to the palace with a happy mood.

"Where did Doctor Liu go? It seems that he is in a good mood." At the gate of the Imperial Hospital, Doctor Liu was met by Hou Zhong who had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Hou Zhong, Doctor Liu's heart jumped violently. He thought of what Zhao Lun had said to him before, and he suddenly felt uneasy.

"Lord Hou, you are joking. The late emperor just passed away. As a minister, how can I be in a good mood?" Doctor Liu said, "I have served His Majesty for many years. Now that His Majesty has suddenly passed away, I feel sad, so I went out for a walk."

"Doctor Liu has deep feelings for the late emperor." Hou Zhong said with a smile, "Let me guess, Doctor Liu must have gone to the residence of His Royal Highness the Third Prince to relax."

Hou Zhong's words made Doctor Liu feel even more uneasy.

"What do you mean, Lord Hou?" Doctor Liu said.

"Nothing." Hou Zhong said, "It's just that I have something here, and I need your help."

"What is it?" Doctor Liu asked.

"When we get there, Doctor Liu will know." Hou Zhong said.

Doctor Liu looked at Hou Zhong, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart had reached its peak. He was unwilling to follow Hou Zhong: "Can I not go?"

"What do you think?" Hou Zhong said with a smile, but his smile was full of danger.

In the past, when the old emperor was still alive, Hou Zhong and his men were given great power. Not to mention being just an imperial physician, even if it was an important official in the court, as long as he did not reach the level of Shangshu, Hou Zhong could take the person away without reporting.

Therefore, Imperial Physician Liu had no right to refuse.

However, Imperial Physician Liu had already sensed the danger from Hou Zhong, and coupled with the news he had heard at Zhao Lun's house before, he was unwilling to follow.

"Lord Hou, you also said that I just went to the Third Prince's house to relax!" In order not to be taken away, Imperial Physician Liu brought up Zhao Lun.

However, Hou Zhong was not afraid at all, and he was still calm, saying, "So what?"

"If you take me away by force, His Royal Highness the Third Prince will be unhappy." Doctor Liu said, "In a few days, His Royal Highness the Third Prince will be the new emperor of our Yanfeng Kingdom. You are causing trouble for yourself by doing this."

"Really?" Hou Zhong laughed, "It's a pity that he may not be able to sit on the throne!"

Originally, Hou Zhong was not optimistic about Zhao Lun's ascension to the throne, but Zhao Lun had the will in his hand, and he had no choice. But now, with the information provided by Guan Zhuo, he was once again certain that the possibility of the Third Prince Zhao Lun ascending the throne was not great, and he was even ready to personally eliminate this small possibility.

And the breakthrough point was Doctor Liu in front of him!

Hearing Hou Zhong's undisguised words, Doctor Liu became even more afraid.

Hou Zhong stopped talking nonsense with him, waved his hand, and someone came forward, holding Doctor Liu on the left and right.

"What are you going to do? Let me go!" Doctor Liu struggled and roared.

"Liu Taiyi, you'd better save your energy. If you have anything to say, wait until we get there and we'll talk slowly." Hou Zhong said, "Take him away!"

"You can't do this! Wang Taiyi, Hu Taiyi, help me tell His Royal Highness the Third Prince that Hou Zhong has arrested people indiscriminately!" Liu Taiyi saw that he was about to be forcibly taken away, and struggled to shout to the Imperial Hospital.

In fact, the people in the Imperial Hospital had long known what happened here, and Hou Zhong and the others also knew him. Therefore, when Hou Zhong wanted to arrest people, no one dared to stop him. It was not until Hou Zhong took Liu Taiyi away that the people in the Imperial Hospital started to talk about it.

The two doctors named by Liu Taiyi looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and then went to Zhao Lun's house.

It was just a message, not a difficult thing. They didn't know that the will in Zhao Lun's hand was fake. Now they had the opportunity to show off in front of Zhao Lun, so they would naturally not let it go.

"What? Liu Taiyi was arrested by Hou Zhong?" Zhao Lun was shocked when he heard the news.

"Yes."

"What is Hou Zhong going to do? Is he rebelling? Ah!" Zhao Lun shouted in a rather out-of-control manner!

Not long ago, Zhao Lun was still full of confidence. Hou Zhong and Guan Zhuo could not know too much information, but now, Hou Zhong suddenly arrested people forcefully, which instantly weakened his confidence. Hou Zhong was able to directly arrest Doctor Liu, so he must know something, otherwise, he would not forcibly arrest people in public.

And Doctor Liu knew too much about the will!

In fact, this will was written by Doctor Liu himself, but now Doctor Liu was taken away. How could Zhao Lun not panic?

What if Doctor Liu couldn't hold on and said something, then he was finished!

No, it's not a matter of if, it's a certainty! Doctor Liu will definitely not be able to hold on! Hou Zhong's people have too many interrogation methods, too cruel, Doctor Liu is just a doctor, how can he hold on? It's only a matter of time before he confesses!

No, Doctor Liu must not be allowed to confess, and he must be rescued before he confesses!

"Come here, let Hou Chong come to see me!" Zhao Lun ordered immediately.

Then, the person who went to convey the order came back soon, and Hou Chong did not come.

"Lord Hou said he has important things to do now and has no time to leave."

"Damn it! This Hou Chong, he deserves to be killed!" Zhao Lun said angrily.

Hou Chong did not give him any face at all, which made Zhao Lun very angry.

However, it was useless to be angry here. Hou Chong was determined not to give him face. If it were up to Zhao Lun's temper, he would at most scold Hou Chong a few words, record this matter first, and then seek revenge from Hou Chong after he registered it.

But he couldn't do this now, because the person captured by Hou Chong was Liu Taiyi. If he didn't handle it well, he wouldn't even be able to ascend the throne again.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lun immediately said: "Come here, prepare the sedan chair!"

Since you don't come, I'll go find you!

Zhao Lun was going to kill him directly, and he had to bring Liu Taiyi out no matter what. He didn't believe that Hou Chong was so bold as to dare to do it to him.

However, Zhao Lun was surprised that when he arrived at Hou Zhong's office, he found nothing. Hou Zhong had already moved with Doctor Liu. As for where he went, no one knew!

This time, Zhao Lun was completely furious!
