"You mean, someone is spreading rumors to slander Miss Sun?" Guan Dingzhong frowned after hearing Zhou Zhengnan's report.
"These people seem to be targeting Miss Sun. According to my opinion, they are probably targeting Miss Sun and her mint fields in Cuizhu Village! They are trying to rob you of your political achievements, sir!"
Guan Dingzhong agreed to use Cuizhu Village as a pilot plant to plant some mint to improve people's lives, and he regarded this as a political achievement.
The people of Ping'an County have been poor for more than a day or two. Now that he is in office, if he can find ways to improve people's livelihood, it will undoubtedly be considered a feat. Now that these people actually want to destroy it, of course he will not tolerate it!
"That's unreasonable! Miss Sun has done so many good deeds in Cuizhu Village, no, in Ping'an County! She has received special commendations from the county, how could she ask for money to save people? This is clearly a deliberate attempt to slander and spread rumors! This matter must be done
Thoroughly investigate!" Guan Dingzhong ordered Chen Captou to go and investigate the matter with a stroke of his pen.
All the things Zhuqing did in the county, including Cuizhu Village, were seen by Capt. Chen and others, and they all had a good impression of Zhuqing.
Now that they see Zhu Qing being framed and the county magistrate personally intervening, they are naturally more energetic in handling the case.
In just half a day, Aunt Huaihua and his wife were taken to the county government office.
Guan Dingzhong specially ordered people to ring the gong and called all the people in the county to the Yamen. He opened the Yamen to let everyone watch his interrogation of Aunt Huaihua and his wife.
Aunt Huaihua and the others had never seen such a battle before, and their legs were trembling with fear. Before County Magistrate Guan could ask any questions, she poured beans into the bamboo tube, thinking about how she had been ordered by the doctor of Huichun Hall, and how she had taken Huichun.
The owner of the hall, Doctor Qian, made a point of talking about himself and slandering Zhu Qing. He also made a clean sweep. He also issued a receipt in the rich doctor's handwriting.
"Oh, it turns out that Master Hei from Hui Chun Tang is not a good person either!"
"That's right, Doctor Qian is not such a generous person to begin with, so why did he come to do this free clinic? It turns out that he was attracted by Miss Sun's mint!"
"How could he be so vicious today? We will never be able to go to the Huichun Hall again!"
Magistrate Guan saw that everyone knew the truth, so he beat Huaihua and his wife twenty times with a stick and sent them to prison for punishment. He also ordered Capt. Chen to bring Doctor Qian and Master Hei for questioning.
The people in the whole city suddenly understood. Word of mouth spread, and for a while, the people waiting in line at the entrance of Huichun Hall to see a doctor dispersed.
Doctor Qian and the black master were also turned to the county government by Mr. Chen.
When Qian Bingren saw Capt. Chen, he knew he was in doom, so he bowed his head and confessed.
Master Hei was dissatisfied in every possible way: "How dare a seventh-grade county magistrate arrest me, a fifth-grade medical officer! I am an imperial doctor who specializes in treating the emperor! Who dares to touch me?"
He showed off his style to the fullest. Chen Captou was a sophisticated man, but he wanted to leave some room for Guan Dingzhongguan County Magistrate, so he did not tie him up with a rope, but just kept an eye on him and invited him to the county government office.
When he saw Magistrate Guan, he refused to kneel down and bow. He held his neck and bowed his hands to Guan Dingzhong: "I wonder why the magistrate asked me to come here?"
Guan Dingzhong looked at Master Hei's arrogant look, but he suppressed his displeasure and nodded to him: "You haven't asked the old gentleman for his name yet? You said you are the envoy of Tai Hospital, do you have proof?
"
Guan Dingzhong is a calm person and will never act rashly. Therefore, he wants to make sure that Master Hei's identity is true.
Master Hei took out a token from his arms, waved it towards Guan Dingzhong, and said, "This is my token for entering and leaving the palace. Does the county magistrate know this?"
Guan Dingzhong looked intently, but couldn't see very clearly, so he motioned to the master on the side to take the sign and take a closer look.
Master Hei retracted his hand and put the sign into his arms. "The token in the palace must not be accessible to just anyone! I must keep it properly!"
Guan Dingzhong looked at this old man and looked at him with a look that deserved a beating. He finally couldn't restrain the anger in his heart and ordered in a cold voice: "Since you are unwilling to cooperate with me in verifying your identity, I can naturally assume that your identity is doubtful! Come on!
Yeah, give the prisoner to the officer and keep him in the hall!"
"Yes!" Guan Dingzhong was despised by the old man in the hall, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone in the hall. Before, everyone acted based on his expression and did not embarrass Master Hei. Now that he has spoken, Chen Captou, the leader
The yamen officer immediately stepped forward and knocked him to the ground in two or two strokes.
"How dare you!" Master Hei was pinned to the ground in such a state of embarrassment that he could not help but become angry and cursed loudly.
"Roar in court and slap him ten times!" Guan Dingzhong said expressionlessly.
He won't be merciful to him now. He didn't want the face he just gave him, so don't blame him for giving him good looks now.
"Uh, uh!..." Master Hei's roar was all mixed up in the crisp slaps.
Because Qian Bingren had already confessed, and there were testimonies from Huaihua and his wife, Guan Dingzhong directly took them into prison for questioning without further interrogation.
This move by the Guanda County Magistrate aroused loud applause and praise from the people all over the city.
Around dusk, an uninvited guest came to Guan Dingzhong's home.
"I am Kang Yizhi, the commander of the guard camp of the Northwest Army! I am here on the order of Princess Yuzhu." The person who came had a clear voice and a handsome face.
Guan Dingzhong saw the military badge he showed, and quickly invited him to take a seat and asked him what his purpose was.
"I wonder why Mr. Kang came all the way?" After he ordered someone to serve tea, he looked puzzled.
He really didn't expect that in his small county town, there would be anything that could attract Princess Yuzhu.
Pingan County is located in the Central Plains, leaning towards the south of the Yangtze River. It is no less than a thousand miles away from the northwest. Even if a war breaks out in the northwest, it will not have much impact on him.
Could it be that enemy spies have entered the county?
But when the enemy comes here, what important information can they learn?
Kang Yizhi saw the confusion on Guan Dingzhong's face and said, "That's it. The princess's troops once passed through your Pingan County and accidentally discovered that there are people in your county who have excellent medical skills and are good at treating trauma. This does not mean that a war is imminent, the princess thought.
Invite the miracle doctor from your county to the Northwest Army and promote the technique of suturing wounds with one hand in the army. By then, the casualties of our army officers can be greatly reduced."
Hearing what he said, Guan Dingzhong's first reaction was that this person was here for Master Hei?
Master Hei claims to be a miracle doctor in the capital, and he may be an old acquaintance of Princess Yuzhu. Maybe he has such a magical skill, so he can win the favor of Princess Yuzhu.
This was an advantage for him! And if he just let him go, I'm afraid he would inevitably suffer.
Thinking of this, Guan Dingzhong's expression became serious.
