Chapter 29: Just in case

April 25, 2023Ai Hrist

After Doctor Shi Lang’s apprentice went to grab the medicine, Shi Qinglou spoke up.

“Doctor Shi, don’t you need to check my husband’s pulse first before you prescribe the medicine?”

Doctor Shi has been paying attention to Xiao Hanzheng all the time, so he knew that the other party has recently married a wife, and then he wakes up.

He knew the medicine he gave to the other party, after drinking a few more times, it would be impossible for Xiao Hanzheng to wake up again.

But who would have thought that Shi Qinglou would be such a variable and will appear all of a sudden?

Because of this, he was not happy when he saw Shi Qingluo and his smile faded, “I have been a doctor for more than 20 years, and I know how to prescribe medicine without taking a pulse. Are you questioning me?”

“If that’s the case, please hire someone else.”

If they offend him, then they won’t be able to get medicine or treatment.

Shi Qingluo was not afraid of offending him: “I’m just curious if you prescribe a prescription without checking the pulse, can you prescribe the right medicine? Will there be any bad symptoms?”

Doctor Shi didn’t think a village woman understood medicine. He sneered: “Since I have prescribed the prescription, I can naturally prescribe the right medicine. How can there be bad symptoms? It’s not up to you, a village woman, to give me advice.”

He looked at Mrs. Kong in displeased and said: “Your daughter-in-law is so rude. After taking the medicine this time, don’t come to my pharmacy again. Please look for someone else.”

The medicine he prescribed this time was a bit strong, and after three days of taking it, Xiao Hanzheng’s body was destroyed.

He just found an excuse not to give more medicine to the Xiao family. But even if the other doctors prescribed medicine to nourish Xiao Hanzheng’s body, it would be useless.

Once they looked for other doctors, what happens to Xiao Hanzheng in the future was none of his business.

At this moment, Mrs. Kong couldn’t wait to go up and scratch the doctor’s face, but she resisted and showed an embarrassed look, “Yes!”

Shi Qingluo sneered: “Okay, we won’t look for you next time.”

Other people who were waiting to see a doctor couldn’t help shaking their heads when they heard this.

This little daughter-in-law was stupid. She offended the doctor, what should she do if she needed to see a doctor next time? They don’t know what she thinks in her mind.

At this moment, the apprentice grabbed the three-day medicine and handed it to Mrs. Kong.

“This is your medicine, please keep it, it’s 2 taels of silver.”

Mrs. Kong took the medicine and immediately handed it to Shi Qingluo, and pretended to pay for the money: “Why is it so expensive?”

Doctor Shi said: “I added a ginseng beard and some expensive tonics, so I charged you two taels of silver for Xiao Xiucai’s sake.”

Meaning it was still discounted.

Shi Qingluo opened a pack of medicines and picked it up with her hands. Sure enough, she saw that the two herbs that Xiao Hanzheng taught her that could cause physical weakness and damage, and the medicine has opposite effects.

She also saw some medicines that looked like a ginseng beard.

Doctor Shi always felt that something was wrong, but nodded: “Of course.”

Shi Qingluo picked up a few and put them on the tip of his nose and smelled them: “Doctor Shi, it seems that you not only prescribe medicines indiscriminately without checking the pulse but also use fake medicines to pretend to be ginseng beard. You are dark.”

When she was at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, she worked with other experts on a ginseng artificial planting project, so she knows a lot about ginseng.

These whiskers do look like ginseng, but if you look closely, you will find the difference.

The difference in taste was even more obvious as soon as you smell it.

He can’t deceive a professional that can tell the truth at a glance, but he can deceive a villager who doesn’t know anything.

Hearing her words, Doctor Shi’s face slightly changed: “Nonsense, it’s a ginseng beard, what do you know as a village woman?”

“Is it because I don’t want you to come here again, so you want to find fault on purpose?”

He even threatened: “If you dare to make trouble, I will send someone to report to the government right now.”

But there was an unspeakable bad feeling in my heart. How did this village woman see that it was a fake?

Shi Qingluo said arrogantly: “Report, if you don’t report to the official today, you will be a brute bastard.”

Doctor Shi’s face darkened: “You are insulting a gentleman, you are a disgrace.”

Shi Qingluo sneered, “I am a disgrace, but I am much better than you, a black-hearted and shameless doctor.”

“Not only the ginseng beard in your medicine is fake, but other medicines are also faulty.”

“Obviously it is to nourish the body, but there are two medicines that counteract each other. Taking it will not strengthen the body and make the body stronger, but will cause the body to weaken and suffer serious losses.”

“The dosage you prescribed for this medicine is also very high. If my husband-in-law takes it for another three days, I’m afraid he will be so weak that he will spend the rest of his life lying in bed.”

Hearing this, Doctor Shi’s facial expression completely changed.

The people who were waiting to see a doctor in the medicine hall and those who have already seen a doctor all showed disbelief in their eyes.

Doctor Shi said with a sullen face: “You, shrew, are just trying to find fault. If that’s the case, I won’t sell this medicine to you.”

After speaking, he winked at his apprentice.

Since the problem with the medicine has been noticed by the other party, the other party cannot take the medicine away.

The apprentice understood it at the first sight and immediately started to grab the medicine in Shi Qingluo’s hand.

Shi Qingluo had been on guard for a long time. As soon as the opponent came, she dodged.

Then she raised her leg and kicked the apprentice down.

And the next second, at her fastest speed, she ran to Doctor Shi and pressed his whole body on the table.

“If there is no problem, why are you forcefully grabbing it?”

“Since you dare not report to the officials, let us report to the officials and sue you for intentionally killing people and selling fake medicines.”

Before Doctor Shi could react, he was pressed against the table.

After regaining consciousness, he wanted to resist, but he couldn’t get rid of her no matter what: “Presumptuous, you shrew dare to treat me like this, I will not give you a good look.”

Shi Qingluo asked Mrs. Kong to take out the rope that she brought on purpose, and tied up Doctor Shi and his apprentice.

“You’re going to be in prison soon, and showing me a good look is also a matter of you can get out of prison.”

Doctor Shi completely panicked. He didn’t expect that this village woman knew medicine and was not bad at skills, so he cursed guiltily.

Shi Qingluo was annoyed, so she crumpled up the dishcloth above the counter and stuffed it into his mouth.

Then she put the medicine into the basket and went to the counter where the medicine was picked up to put away the prescription.

After taking them away, she thought of something and opened the drawers and cabinets to search, and found all the prescriptions Doctor Shi had given to Xiao Hanzheng.

“There are problems with all the medicines you prescribed in the prescriptions. Let’s report to the officials now. If you deliberately killed people, let the doctor in the county come over to see the prescriptions and the medicines you gave, and then we will know everything.”

She looked at the flustered Doctor Shi and continued: “We brought all the medicine you gave before, including the dregs.”

Doctor Shi’s eyes squinted, he understood now that this little woman came today prepared.

It seems that there was a problem with the medicine he gave, and has been discovered by the Xiao family. So today, they deliberately asked to continue prescribing the medicine to obtain evidence.

He even cursed secretly in his heart the person who sent him news these two days.

That person said that Xiao Hanzheng was too weak to get out of bed, so that person let him continue to prescribe the same medicine. It would be better if he increased the dose and get rid of the people quickly.

Xiao Hanzheng was too weak to get out of bed now, maybe it was all fake.

He tried to defend himself but was tied, he wanted to go crazy.

At this time, all the people who saw the doctor came back to their senses.

One of them couldn’t hold back and asked Shi Qingluo: “Girl, is what you just said true?”

Shi Qingluo nodded: “Of course it is true, otherwise how could I dare to tie them up and arrest them to report to the government?”

“This is a black-hearted quack doctor who uses fake medicine.”

She said again: “I suggest that you also go with us to the government and ask someone to help you check your medicine. Who knows if there is also something wrong with it?”

“By the way, you can also see if what we said is true.”

She did it just in case.

If many people go, this matter will spread wide, which will put pressure on the county magistrate. The other party won so that the other party won’t be able to cheat the result for personal gain.
