"Putting someone to death? How could..."
Hearing that something happened to Master Zheng, Xie Song couldn't sit still.
Isn’t this the case with other people in the family?
At this moment, all the enthusiasm for celebrating the New Year is gone.
The family was worried and had questions one after another: Dr. Zheng had always been a good doctor, so why did he suddenly kill someone? As an apprentice, will Xie Song be affected?
However, the person who spread the news also had no clue. I just thought that when I came back from the market in the town, I saw that Yongji Hall was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. I saw Dr. Zheng being escorted away by several vicious government officials, and I vaguely heard someone mention that he had put someone to death.
"...No matter how much I don't know," Xue San, who was held tightly by Xie Song, scratched his head, "I heard that Brother Song is working in Yongji Hall, so I wanted to tell him quickly."
Although they didn't bring much useful information, the family still expressed their gratitude. Mrs. Liu quickly came out with a handful of candy and said, "Thank you Sange Xue for this today. Brother Song just brought this back from town. Let's go back." Sweeten the mouths of the children.”
Unlike cheap candies, the ones Liu sent out were unusual just by looking at the packaging. Xue San unexpectedly came to deliver a message and received such a "precious" thank you gift. He instinctively wanted to refuse, but thinking of the children at home, he finally accepted it.
Sorry, before he left, he made a lot of promises: "... If it is inconvenient during the New Year, my family has a rented ox cart. You can come to me whenever you want to go to town."
The people are gone, but the problems remain.
It's rare for a family to be reunited, but they heard about such a disaster. People die as the New Year approaches, what is this?
Xie Song's urgent voice broke the solid atmosphere: "Father, mother, there is something fishy about this matter. I have to go to the town to find out. Doctor Zheng is not that kind of person..."
How could Mr. Liu be willing to let him go?
She was confused as to why Dr. Zheng put people to death, but death was a big deal. Haven't you heard that Yongji Hall has been sealed? Now she just wished that everyone would forget about Xie Song, how could she allow him to lose his sense of existence.
"You stay at home and don't go anywhere. Let's wait and see what happens in the next few days."
Her decision won unanimous support from the whole family. Xie Dayou agreed: "Brother Song, please don't show your face at home for now. His third uncle, you have many connections. Let's find out the news first."
"That's what dad said." Xie Sen agreed without saying a word, not daring to delay for a moment, "I'm going to find out the news right away."
Although Xie Song was anxious, he also understood the concerns of his family. I had no choice but to thank Xie Sen profusely, feeling very embarrassed and said, "I trouble my third uncle to make this trip during the Chinese New Year..."
Xie Sen waved his hand: "Why should a family say thank you?"
Xie Sen left in a hurry, and the Xie family could only wait for the news at home. Everyone was restless and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly solemn.
Xie Shi, who was wrapped into a round dumpling, walked back and forth with his little hands behind his back, looking at this and that from time to time. A newborn chick stumbled behind him. Normally, the whole family would have a good time with the cute little dumpling, but now no one is in the mood.
The family is filled with sorrow, and Xie Shi also feels it.
What happened just now was so sudden that Xie Shi couldn't react at all. There was only one impression left in his little mind: Something happened to his eldest brother's teacher, and his eldest brother might also be involved.
——How can this be done!
"System, think of a solution quickly."
Xie Shi called out the system's name for the first time.
Although he is the reincarnation of a god, he has lost all his magic power now. At this time, we can only choose to believe in the system as a magic weapon.
The system in the depths of his consciousness slowly raised a question mark: "Is it possible that I am just a learning assistance system?" ]
Seeing that the little guy's eyebrows were knotted with worry, the fat civet cat softened his tone: "But the host doesn't need to worry, Xie Song is just an apprentice, and the chance of being implicated is less than 1%." Unless the person who dies is a big shot, I would rather kill him by mistake than let him go. ]
"...So it depends on luck?"
Xie Shi clapped his hands to show that he understood.
He sneaked into the kitchen, came to the brand new statue of the Kitchen God, and stretched out his "sinful" little hand to the altar table in front of the statue - they were all good friends, and the Kitchen God wouldn't mind.
Not long after, Xie Shi walked up to Xie Song, who looked anxious. He put his little hands together and conjured up a small plate of stove candy like a magic trick: "Brother, come and eat stove candy! This is the candy offered on the Kitchen God's table. It's stained with the Kitchen God's." The light will definitely come and go."
Maybe he was worried that the Kitchen God wouldn't work, so Xiaotuanzi, who claimed to be the "reincarnation of a god", had just opened the plate of stove candies in a decent manner, and plated the plate with his little hands to make it shine - if the Kitchen God's blessings were not enough, his luck would be over. Give it to the big brother too!
"Thank you, Brother Shi."
Xie Song didn't know that there were so many twists and turns in the little guy's heart. Looking at the little guy's expectant eyes, he really couldn't bear to refuse. Feeling depressed in his heart, he took the stove candy given by his little cousin and ate a symbolic piece. It only felt sweet. Teeth sizzling.
After achieving his goal, Xie raised his eyebrows and smiled, showing his small white teeth like rice grains. He stared at Xie Song with his round and big eyes, and whispered in his heart: Good luck, good luck, good luck, super double!
system:? ? ?
...It combines the enlightened ideas of future society and the feudal superstition of ancient society. How did the host do it?
In the evening, Xie Sen returned home after a long journey.
He brings good news and bad news.
The good news is that Yongji Hall has not been closed down, other doctors can still sit in the hall, and the apprentices of the medical hall have not been affected. Therefore, Xie Song can spend the New Year with peace of mind before returning to the hospital.
The bad news is that Dr. Zheng may be in bad shape.
"The one who died was the eldest son of the Sun family..."
Xie Sen relayed the news to his family.
"He was seen by Dr. Zheng some time ago, and he also took the pills prescribed by Dr. Zheng. Last night on New Year's Eve, Mr. Sun drank too much, and he felt bad in the middle of the night. He talked nonsense and his limbs were numb. I was so upset that I thought he was just drunk... After daybreak, I saw him lying on the bed, already cold."
"After an autopsy, I found out that I had taken too much Aconite and was poisoned. The pills prescribed by Dr. Zheng contained aconite."
When mentioning the death of Mr. Sun, Xie Sen lamented: "The Yamen has checked and found that Mr. Sun did not come into contact with any other poisons that day. He only took no less than five pills after drinking."
"It was the eldest son of the Sun family who died?"
The family was shocked.
Even if they live in the countryside, they know that the richest man in Yuquan Town is the Sun family, and the largest grain farm in the town is owned by the Sun family. Mr. Sun has three sons. The eldest son runs a grain farm, the second son is in charge of a restaurant, and the third son is still studying.
Mr. Sun is a shrewd man, and none of his sons are idiots. The grain farm that Mr. Sun handles is prosperous, he never passes off quality products, and has an excellent reputation. He is also devoted to his wife. Even though his wife has had nothing to do for many years, he does not care about her. When she goes out, she is one of the best in town.
Except for the emptiness under his knees, there is nothing incomplete about Mr. Sun. Who could have expected that he would suddenly die suddenly at the age of just thirty?
Xie Sen summed it up in one sentence: "Mr. Sun surrounded the Yongji Hall and sent a complaint to the Yamen, accusing Dr. Zheng of 'defrauding his own medicine to treat diseases and taking property, thus causing death.' Once this crime is confirmed, he should be punished." Punished by beheading."
Xie Dayou and his wife, who are both parents, understand Master Sun's mood very well. Their good-natured eldest son was killed by a quack doctor. Who can swallow this sigh of relief? With Mr. Sun behind the scenes, it’s no wonder that the county government arrested people so quickly this time.
They felt sorry for Mr. Sun, and they couldn't help but feel sad for Dr. Zheng. After all, Dr. Zheng has always been a good doctor, but he unexpectedly stumbled, causing harm to others and himself.
Knowing that Xie Song could stay out of the situation, the family felt much more relaxed. Only then did he have the heart to sympathize with Dr. Zheng and Mr. Sun.
Xie Song suddenly said: "That's not what happened. Mr. Sun paid a lot of money for the medicine."
"Doctor Zheng couldn't get enough of him, so he prescribed this medicine. He also told him that the medicine was extremely strong and he could only swallow one pill at a time. He didn't obey the instructions and took it all at once. How can he blame Dr. Zheng?"
Listening to his voice, it seems that he has something hidden.
When the family members who were sighing and lamenting heard the sound, they suddenly thought of Xie Song's generous reward, and finally understood where the reward came from. Then they thought of Master Sun's large sum of money for seeking medicine, and they suddenly felt that the heavy reward was burning their hands. Sure enough, there is nothing in vain in the world. Picked up pie!
It is not easy to get involved in the private affairs of wealthy families. Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "You must not say this nonsense. In the future, you should talk less and do more in the medical clinic. When you go with the doctor to see a doctor, especially when you go to a wealthy family, you must not say anything." Listen more, don’t read too much…”
Xie Song lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
In the past, when he first entered Yongji Hall as an apprentice, Dr. Zheng had seen him personally. Dr. Zheng had excellent medical skills and a kind heart. He was not like some doctors who used their apprentices as handymen, but he sincerely taught pharmacological knowledge and mentored his apprentices. How could Xie Song, such a generous teacher, watch him lose his life?
"...I want to testify." Xie Song raised his head and said word by word with firm eyes, "I want to testify that Dr. Zheng did not prescribe medicine indiscriminately, and it was not him who harmed Mr. Sun."
"Doctor Zheng...Doctor Zheng doesn't deserve to die!"
"What kind of testimony! No one else has come forward, but you can do it? Are you going to make me angry to death?" Mrs. Liu's expression suddenly changed, and she gasped with anger. She picked up the broom and was about to beat her son.
Sister-in-law Yu and Zhang quickly grabbed her: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Brother Song is also kind-hearted..."
After a lot of turmoil at home, the whole family finally persuaded Xie Song to stop talking and seemed to accept the arrangement.
Xie Shi looked on, puzzled by his family's obstruction: "Why don't you let the eldest brother testify?"
In the cub's world of black and white, right is right and wrong is wrong. It is naturally right to clarify grievances for others. Since the elder brother is right, why should we stop him from doing it?
All he knew was that his eldest brother was not happy.
That night, after falling asleep, Xiaotuanzi tilted his head and asked the system his question. The fat civet cat was silent for a long time: [This question... you will understand it when you grow up. ]
Xie Shi was not satisfied with this perfunctory answer. He lowered his head glumly and covered his heart with his little hand.
This depressed mood seemed familiar. The last time he was so depressed was when he abandoned the Journey to the West cartoon. He still remembered that when he abandoned the movie, the plot progressed to the time when the Monkey King was named Butima Wen... Will he have to accept the Monkey when he grows up? Wang Cheng Bi Ma Wen?
...Then it’s better not to grow up.
The next day, Xie Shi was awakened by a cry from his sleep. When I woke up, I found out that my cousin Xie Song had gone to town overnight.
In the main hall, Mr. Liu, with disheveled hair, beat the ground and cried loudly.
"...No one else can avoid such a disaster, but he is a fool and actually gets involved in it himself!"
