Hearing Cailan's decision, Chu Feng couldn't help being speechless. Well, based on the relationship between Luo Ling'er and the other party, there was no telling what would happen when they met. But he knew that Luo Ling'er had cheated the other party more than once, even if he hadn't
Due to their respective backgrounds, the two sides have long had a feud as deep as the sea.
"Junior brother, there is no need to worry. Sister Ling'er and I are just having a small holiday, nothing serious. When you were trapped in the world inside the Kunwu beast, we went to rescue you together. It is also a comrade-in-arms friendship."
"Is it still understandable? Isn't it because you were so entangled that Ling'er had to make up an excuse at the last minute? Moreover, he was tricked into using a Buddhist treasure by him afterwards, and he just forgot about it so lightly?"
Luo Ling'er had vaguely mentioned these things, and Chu Feng naturally knew them all clearly. At the same time, he had to admire the other party's acting skills, telling lies without blinking an eye.
However, he didn't refuse bluntly. He came to visit him openly and attended his wedding, so it was hard to force him to evict him. Anyway, he moved out after getting married and didn't have much time to come back.
"It's up to you. I'll let my sister clean up a guest room. You can do it yourself."
With that said, Chu Feng had already stood up and walked towards the inner room.
Cailan looked at his back, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, her bright eyes full of smiles.
…
At dawn the next day, Chu Feng finished his meditation. As soon as he arrived outside the door, he saw his brother-in-law Li Gongfu, wearing official uniform and carrying a sword at his waist, walking over quickly.
"I'm going to the county government soon. Are you sure there's nothing wrong?" Despite the assurance, Li Gongfu still felt a little uneasy and asked again.
"How could I lie about this kind of thing?" Chu Feng glanced at his sister who walked out and Cailan beside him, and then said,
"Let's go, everything will be revealed in court."
…
It had only been one day since the incident in Baoantan Hall occurred, but it had already spread to everyone. Now, even nearby counties have heard about it.
This is a primitive environment in ancient times, where communication basically relied on roaring. To be able to transmit it so quickly, I have to say that the people behind the scenes have put in a lot of effort.
At this time, the county government office was already crowded with people, some watching the excitement, and some coming to learn the truth about the case. Of course, there was no shortage of people with ulterior motives.
"Doctor Xu has great medical skills, how could he possibly kill someone? Then the beggar probably died of his own illness, right?"
"Isn't it? Bao'an Tang has been open for less than half a year and there has never been a problem. How could such a mistake be made? Besides, Dr. Xu is not only a brilliant doctor, he is also generous and generous. His usual medical charges are so low that the entire Qiantang
The kindest doctor."
"Maybe I was careless. After all, there are so many people seeing doctors, so it is inevitable that there will be times of negligence."
"Do you have any evidence? Otherwise, why would you slander Dr. Xu so much?"
"Well, I'm just guessing..." someone said with a smile.
In another corner, unlike the noisy discussions outside, this place seemed extremely quiet. Two figures were talking in a low voice. Judging from their clothes, they were obviously not ordinary people.
"The person named Xu fell down this time and may be in danger."
"He deserves it. He is a drugstore owner. He is kind and a good person. The price is so low. How can we, our colleagues, live? Something has happened now. This is God's retribution."
"I ask again, is it really not you who did the beggar thing?"
"Of course not, I'm not crazy. With our influence in the medical community, we have many ways to deal with a young boy like Xu Xian. Is it necessary to kill someone?"
"That's good. You and I are not short of money, so there is no need to let go of our good lives and do dangerous things."
After a pause, the man said again,
"However, God really helped us this time. The man named Xu committed a crime, and we only need to add fuel to the flames a little to prevent him from ever getting over."
"Hehe, I have followed your instructions like this..."
After a while, bursts of mocking laughter sounded from the corner, which seemed to be extremely enjoyable.
…
"Pah——"
"Ascension"
"mighty--"
The atmosphere in the county government lobby was a bit solemn. Except for the county magistrate sitting in the middle and the government servants standing motionless, Chu Feng was the only one standing upright on the ground in the center of the lobby.
People in the Song Dynasty were not in favor of kneeling and worshiping, so people present would not care about it. Chu Feng, on the other hand, looked deeply at the county magistrate, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
The county magistrate was startled. He was familiar with Xu Xian. Especially in recent days, Li Gongfu's brother-in-law has become more and more provocative, not only showing extremely high medical skills, but also being an outstanding person.
During this period of time, he had also received a lot of benefits from the other party. If it hadn't been for the loss of life this time, the impact would have been too great, and he would not have been willing to embarrass the other party.
only……
Suddenly something moved in his heart, he thought of something, and his expression suddenly became strange.
"Pah - who is there in the hall? Tell me your name."
The gavel suddenly sounded, and cold shouts followed.
The county magistrate frowned slightly. For some reason, he always felt that Xu Xian was a little weird. He was still so calm after such a big thing happened?
"Can you plead guilty to the case of Bao'an Tang killing a patient?"
"Sir, you are joking. Although my security hall has been open for business not long ago, it has treated countless patients and has never had any problems. It is even more nonsense to treat patients to death."
Chu Feng's answer was categorical. Not only the county magistrate, but also the people watching the excitement outside the lobby were a little confused. Could it be that he had really made a mistake? No, how could such a thing be made wrong?
"Bold Xu Xian, how can I allow you to quibble about matters of life and death?" The county magistrate was slightly stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted and said angrily.
"How dare ordinary people? However, everything must have evidence. I don't know where the deceased is as mentioned by the adults. Can you let me check it?"
"Hmph, if you still want to delay at this time, I'll let you be convinced." The county magistrate snorted coldly, and then ordered,
"Someone, go and carry the deceased to the hall."
The yamen officer took the order and left. At this time, Li Gongfu, who was standing in the crowd, was puzzled. He didn't know what his brother-in-law was thinking.
Because of his relationship with Xu Xian, he was forcibly ordered to avoid it by the county magistrate, so he could only watch from outside the hall. Now, he was confused by his wife's brother's behavior.
"My lord, what should I do? If I bring up a dead person, will I be convicted?" Xu Jiaorong was very anxious. She didn't understand this. She was a little flustered just looking at the angry look of the county magistrate.
"Don't worry, Chinese people say they have their own opinions, so I think I'm prepared. Besides, the trial of the case requires confirming the authenticity of the witnesses and material evidence, so it won't be so quick to convict someone."
"Sister Xu, don't worry. How can these ordinary people win over Mr. Xu?" Cailan also stood on the side and comforted softly.
"Ordinary people..."
Xu Jiaorong didn't pay attention, but Li Gongfu heard it clearly. He couldn't help but look at the other party in astonishment. Isn't this a big statement? They are ordinary people, so you are still a god?
