The cook swallowed, stabilized his emotions, and continued: "The villain's father passed away five years ago, and only my mother and the villain depended on each other in the family.
More than a year ago, Xiaoren's mother suddenly fell ill for unknown reasons.
There was a big malignant sore on her back, and the condition of the sore was terrifying to see.
Because of this malignant sore, I am in so much pain that I can't sit still, can't do anything every day, and the pain is unbearable.
After taking my wife to see the doctor, the doctor said that the old man was suffering from carbuncle, and he had to take decoction internally and apply ointment externally, and slowly nurse him back to health in order to recover.
However, after almost a month of treatment, the old man's condition has not improved.
Seeing my mother's body becoming weaker and weaker due to the pain, I was really anxious, but there was nothing I could do.
Later, I found out that there was a doctor with excellent medical skills in the surgery department of the county hospital, so the villain went to him to ask how the old man's disease could be cured.
After listening to the villain's introduction to the old man's condition, the doctor said that it can be cured, but he just needs surgery, but the hospital's medical conditions and equipment are not good enough, and he has to go to a large hospital in the provincial capital to do it.
After hearing this, the villain knelt down to the doctor on the spot and begged him to find a way to save his mother.
Seeing that the villain was pitiful, the doctor pointed out that there is a private clinic in Tonglu. The doctor came back from studying abroad and has superb medical skills. The key is that the equipment in their clinic is all from Germany, and the conditions are no worse than those of large hospitals in provincial capitals.
The villain goes to him and gives it a try. Maybe he can cure the old man.
After hearing this, the villain was naturally very happy and went to the clinic.
Sure enough, after listening to the villain's introduction to the old man's condition, they said that they could perform an operation on the old man and completely cure the old man's disease.
It’s just that the total cost of surgery and medical expenses is 400 yuan. How can a villain afford such high medical expenses?
Knowing the good news is not as good as not knowing it. The villain was really desperate at that time."
At this point, the cook lost control of his emotions. Thinking of what happened in the past, he couldn't help but shed tears sadly.
“When something like this happened to your family, why didn’t you explain it to your health chief and apply for special relief from the Ministry of Health?
Our 'Yongwang Guards' have special provisions for relieving dangers and providing relief to the subordinates under our jurisdiction. All subordinates of the Ministry of Health have the opportunity to be taken care of, and the rights and interests of subordinates are protected."
After Yong Shijing listened to the cook's account of what happened to her family, she raised her own questions.
The cook nodded and said: "Special envoy, you are right, I have already applied for relief funds from the Ministry of Health.
In the process of diagnosing my mother's illness, the villain had spent all his family's savings just to buy those expensive traditional Chinese medicines.
In order to continue buying medicine for my mother's illness, the villain had already reported to Chief Xie of the health department based on this.
After receiving approval from the Ministry of Health, Chief Xie allocated 150 yuan to the villain. He also gave the villain 50 yuan of his own money so that the villain could treat my mother well.
But after spending all the money, taking hundreds of decoctions, and applying countless medicines, the villain's illness was not cured.
The money was spent, but the disease was not cured.
Now there is a doctor who can cure my mother's illness through surgery. This is a good thing, but he reluctantly gave up because he couldn't pay the cost. You can imagine how the villain feels.
Therefore, the appearance of the letter that day was undoubtedly the appearance of the Bodhisattva to the villain.
The villain took my mother to that clinic. After the doctor saw the malignant sores on my back, he said that the condition had been delayed for too long and that the old man's physical condition was too bad and they could not cure it."
Yong Shijing nodded and did not let him continue. She continued what he said: "So, you went to the clinic written in the letter to try your luck for the last time.
The result was unexpected. Your mother's illness was cured not long after she was treated there.
You are very grateful to Tan Zheng for your life-saving grace.
When you thanked him in person, you felt that there was nothing you could do in return for his request for you to do something, so you agreed to his words.
From then on, you tipped him off and have been the 'inner ghost' of your corps to this day.
Isn’t the whole process like this?”
The cook nodded and did not deny Yong Shijing's statement.
"Who was the man who delivered the letter to your house?"
Yong Shijing asked with great interest in this "messenger".
"The person who delivered the letter to the villain's house is his colleague, but he has returned to the kitchen now."
The cook didn't know that his colleague was dead, so he replied calmly.
"Did he ever tell you how he got that letter?"
Yong Shijing asked calmly.
If we could know the reasons why the cook who was killed in the kitchen defected, we could basically figure out the main problem with the left guard of the Ministry of Health.
After successfully quelling the chaos in the Ministry of Health, we can sort out the left guard of the Ministry of Health in a targeted manner and completely stabilize the situation of "Liuquan Guard".
The cook thought for a while and said: "The villain remembers that he was so happy when he saw the letter and the money contained in the letter that he didn't think of asking how he got the letter.
Later, after Chief Tan asked Xiaoren to be his "informant" in Zuowei, Xiaoren felt something strange the more he thought about it.
How did Chief Tan know what was going on in the villain's family?
Who told him?
How does he know so much about the villain?"
"Another question is, how did Tan Zheng know that the clinic he wrote about could cure your mother's illness?"
Yong Shijing added a reminder.
The cook immediately nodded and said: "I also have this question, I feel that some things are so coincidental that I can't believe it.
The villain's biggest question at the time was, why did Chief Tan care so much about a villain who was just serving as a cook?
Moreover, the villain discovered that the clinic recommended in the letter used imported injections and medicines when treating the villain's mother.
Seeing this situation, the villain felt a little uneasy, fearing that they would set a trap for the villain to extort money.
So, the villain secretly wrote down the names of these medicines, went to several western pharmacies in the city, and consulted with the pharmacy masters respectively.
The final result proved that the medicines used by the clinic to treat the villain's mother were all good medicines, and they were all imported medicines.
The anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of these drugs are very good, but the price is also horrifyingly expensive. The cost of one month's treatment has far exceeded the 500 yuan that the villain paid in advance.
After knowing this, I really felt as if I had fallen into an ice cave. I wonder how I will face the sky-high expense list when all the expenses are finally settled."
Having said this, the cook still sighed with lingering fear.
