Song Yi

Chapter 77
Zhuang Zhixian and Master Hou looked at each other and smiled slightly.

Du Wenhao's opinion had been expected by Master Hou. Just now, Master Hou had already made arrangements for retiring to save people and was promoted again, and gave instructions to Zhuangzhi County. Zhuangzhi County already knew how to deal with it.

Zhuang Zhixian coughed lightly and said:
"What Mr. Du said is correct. It is true that you should make a false accusation. It's just that Dr. Xu is suing you for the crime of manslaughter by a quack doctor, not the crime of homicide by a quack doctor. The difference between one word and the other is a thousand miles away, ha ha."

For the crime of manslaughter by a quack doctor, according to the provisions of the "Song Xingtong", the maximum sentence is only "two and a half years in prison", which is far from the death penalty for the crime of manslaughter by a quack doctor.

Du Wenhao frowned: "That's not right, I clearly heard what he said was murder by a quack doctor."

Zhuang Zhixian shook his head: "Mr. Du, you really got it wrong. If you don't believe me, you can check the transcript of the promotion,—the clerk, show the transcript to Mr. Du."

The clerk agreed, and hurriedly brought the transcript and gave it to Du Wenhao with both hands.

Du Wenhao took it over and saw that in the column of the cause of complaint, it was indeed written "The crime of manslaughter by a quack doctor."

It's just that the ink doesn't seem to be dry yet, obviously it was rewritten.

He suddenly understood in his heart that Master Hou had played tricks behind him and asked the scribe to replace the front page.

Looking at the contents of the records later, I found that some of the key plots that Xu Sihai said later to accuse Du Wenhao of murder were recorded lightly. I felt very strange, and the ink was dry, which was obviously the real record at that time.

Turning his head, he immediately understood that Master Hou must have made an explanation in advance and asked the clerk to deal with it when he recorded it. In the future, Du Wenhao will lose the lawsuit, so as to make the big issue smaller and protect him.

After Du Wenhao saw it clearly, he thought to himself, since he took great pains to help him in this way, now he and Xini had no choice but to love each other. After all, Xu Sihai's brother-in-law is the head of the yamen. Don't worry about their face.

Besides, even if Xu Sihai was convicted of homicide by a quack doctor, his head could not be beheaded or even given a heavy sentence. After all, he was exposed during the false accusation and did not cause serious harm.

Seeing Du Wenhao staring at the manuscript paper with an uncertain face, Zhuang Zhixian was also a little apprehensive.

This young doctor is good at the genius doctor Hua Tuo's magical skills of laparotomy. How clever, I am afraid that in the future it will be necessary to invite this young doctor to see a doctor, so I can't offend him.

But I'm afraid it won't be easy for him to get to the bottom of it, so it's best to pass this matter in a daze.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhixian coughed lightly, and said to Xu Sihai:
"Doctor Xu, you sued Mr. Du for manslaughter by a quack doctor, right?"

Hearing Zhuang Zhixian's words, Xu Sihai was overwhelmed with joy and surprise, and felt like he had escaped from death. His brain reacted fairly quickly, and he nodded hastily:

"That's right! What the student sued is indeed the crime of manslaughter by a quack doctor. It was actually a misunderstanding, and the student knew it was wrong."

"Okay! Xu Sihai's crime of false accusation stemmed from a misunderstanding, and he admitted his mistake in time in court, and no bad consequences were caused. The county will give him a lighter sentence. He will be punished thirty times and compensate the sufferer for the loss. As for how much money to accompany, the plaintiff can decide!"

Xu Sihai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although he was spared from prison, he couldn't avoid being punished, but this was already helping him secretly, so he could only bow deeply to Zhuang Zhixian with a bitter face:
"Thank you for your grace!"

The county magistrate said: "Doctor Xu, pay the compensation first!"

Xu Sihai reached into his arms, took out the purse, walked up to Du Wenhao, bowed and said:
"Mr. Du, this lawsuit is purely a misunderstanding. I'm really sorry. It's all my fault, which caused you to be wronged. This is my intention, please accept it."

Du Wenhao originally wanted to take the money bag and throw it in his face, but then he thought again, why throw it away?This is the money he paid to compensate for the loss, and it will be accepted as it is!

Du Wenhao grabbed the money bag and stuffed it in the palm of his hand. Inside was broken silver, estimated to be dozens of taels.asked coldly:

"One more thing, I want to make it clear that no matter what crime you sue me, you say that I am a quack doctor. Now I want to ask Dr. Xu, is Du a good doctor or a quack doctor?"

"A good doctor! Hehe, Mr. Du can use Hua Tuo's unique skill of laparotomy to heal wounds. Even a lonely person like Doctor Qian is willing to worship as an apprentice. Mr. Du can be called a genius doctor among genius doctors!"

Du Wenhao could hear the meaning in his words that he was provoking money not to accept, and wanted to leave this foreshadowing to alienate the friendship he had just established with Qian Bucheng.Can't help but look at the money and don't take it.

Of course you can tell if you don't accept the money, and said sternly:

"That's right, Mr. Du is good at Hua Tuo's magical skills. This alone is enough to be the master of the old man. The old man can go to the teacher again in public to show his ambition!"

Qian Bu received his robe and knelt down on the ground, kowtowed three times to Du Wenhao.

When Yan Miaoshou and Hantou met outside the hall, they also knelt down and kowtowed to Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao nodded: "Get up!"

"Thank you, master!" Qian Bushou and the two disciples got up.

There was another commotion outside the hall. Many people only heard that the money was not accepted and they lost a bet and worshiped a wandering doctor as a teacher. They didn’t quite believe it. Seeing that the money was not collected, they kowtowed in public in the hall to learn the teacher again. They were very surprised. There was a sound of admiration.

The magistrate of Zhuang County slapped the gavel and shouted:
"Someone will punish Xu Sihai for thirty!"

Several soap slaves came up and pulled Xu Sihai to the platform, pressed him down on a single bench, pulled off his pants, and beat him with a crackling board.

These slaves and the catcher are all brothers in the same yamen. Seeing that Xu Sihai actually falsely accused the benefactor who saved the catcher's life, they all hated him, a little bit of revenge.

These thirty rods were more powerful than fifty rods, until Xu Sihai's buttocks were ripped apart, dripping with blood, crying for his father and mother.

After the thirty rods were beaten, Xu Sihai had already passed out. His family hurried up to apply medicine for the sores, and carried them away by the door panel.

"Retire!"

The magistrate of Zhuang patted the gavel, flicked his sleeves, and walked into the back hall with his hands behind his back.

Amid the admiration of the crowd, Du Wenhao, Qian Bushou and others and the policemen carried Policeman Liu out of the lobby.

When passing by the crowd, Du Wenhao felt a pair of burning eyes looking at him.

Turning his face around, he found that the scorching eyes came from among several young women. These women were dressed in red and emerald, and they seemed to be from good families.

One of the women in the pomegranate skirt was particularly eye-catching, the smoke was hot and full of femininity, but it was a pity that before he could see her face clearly, she was surrounded and huffed out of the yamen.

Returning to Wuweitang again, he placed Detective Liu in the simple operating room at the back, and old man Liu and Mrs. Wu were in charge of taking care of him.

Du Wenhao saw that Captain Liu was in good spirits and could move his hands and feet, so he told Old Man Liu and Mrs. Wu to help him get out of bed, stand up, and walk slowly to prevent intestinal adhesions.

Old man Liu knelt down and kowtowed again, begging Du Wenhao to help him see a doctor.

Du Wenhao took old man Liu's pulse again, and confirmed that the cause of his sudden death was "true pain", which is acute myocardial infarction in Western medicine.

He ordered him to find a prescription to grab the medicine, and told him the usual precautions.

After Arranging Inspector Liu and the others, everyone came to the lobby to talk.

Du Wenhao thanked Lei Butou and others for their help, especially Pang Yuqin.

On the way, he had already heard that it was Pang Yuqin who went to beg for money and refused to accept it to testify in court. His father, Pang Xianwei, was behind the scenes, so the matter was settled, but when he thanked Pang Yuqin, Pang Yuqin shyly hid behind Xue Feier and refused to accept it. Reception.

Xue Fei'er glanced at Pang Yuqin and said, "Du Langzhong, didn't you say you didn't have the money to buy land? Now that you have money, why don't you buy land and a house to marry our beautiful bride? Hee hee"

"Damn girl! Looking for a beating!" Pang Yuqin blushed and chased Xue Fei'er to pinch her.

Xue Feier giggled and ran around Du Wenhao, saying as she ran:
"Are you still ashamed? It's only a matter of time!"

"You said it!"

Lin Qingdai said: "Okay, don't make a fuss, I'll help Mr. Du take a look, is there enough money to buy a house and land?"

Pang Yuqin stopped immediately, ignoring Xue Feier's persistent grimaces.
