Outside the rain in the small village, beside the sunset in the countryside, there are no paintings and solitary smoke, leaving nothing but empty space and eternal regret.
As the golden color fell, the county people screamed in shock, the cry of the orphan mother echoed, and the old man beside the painting raised his eyebrows.
From the beginning of shock, to the end of silence, until the woman was tired from crying, Magistrate Chai came out of the shed with a look of shock on his face.
"Taoist Priest, you are truly a man of God!"
"Sir, at this moment, I would like to ask who made this fairy water?"
After saying this, Bai Song turned his eyes, glanced at the little girl, and finally landed on the face of Divine Doctor Xue.
Bai Song disdains pretending to be a time traveler, but if someone puts his face in front of him...
It’s time to hit!
What kind of miracle doctor is this?
He is clearly a stickman!
How can such a character qualify him to be called a doctor?
It's just that Bai Song underestimated the thickness of this old man's face. Until this moment, with hundreds of people's eyes focused on him, he still kept his expression unchanged and raised his head, as if nothing had happened before.
Magistrate Chai was a little embarrassed. The other party was a famous doctor in the world and his reputation was still there.
Moreover, today's comparison cannot convince the public when used to decide cases.
Although the Bai Song Dynasty was superior in medical skills, it cannot be proved that the formula of the fairy water was made by the Bai Song Dynasty.
It can only be proved that Bai Song’s fairy water is more effective than Doctor Xue’s fairy water.
As expected, Doctor Xue had already discovered the problem in the competition, and said to Song Yi, "I admire Taoist Priest's medical skills, but this only proves that Taoist Priest's prescription is more effective."
After saying this, many people frowned.
What Doctor Xue said is true, but in the name of a miracle doctor, he still refuses to admit defeat, which is extremely disgraceful.
The previous attitude of announcing the prescription with dignity and awe was completely different from the two people.
Bai Song was also unhurried. When he came to the "Professional Anti-Counterfeiting" flag, he smiled and said: "As a professional, you must be professional. Since you still don't admit it, I still have a witness."
"Witness?" Magistrate Chai asked.
Bai Song clapped his hands, and suddenly a gorgeously dressed child squeezed out from the crowd. He was fair and fat, although he was young, and he had a lot of clothes. No one knew his name, but he knew he was from an extraordinary family.
"Hey! It's finally my turn!"
When the fat boy came out, he complained, straightened his clothes, and shook his sleeves elegantly.
"I can testify that at three o'clock yesterday, it was this old man who sneaked out from Qu's house in the western suburbs. He said he was treating Aunt Qu's illness, but yesterday, Aunt Qu's illness had long been cured. He was not at all. Instead of going to get cured, I went to buy fairy water.”
Yesterday, the Qu family started selling fairy water. Before Chen Shi, not many people knew about it, and few people paid attention to who came to the Qu family.
If Divine Doctor Xue really went to Qu's house yesterday, it would contradict Divine Doctor Xue's testimony.
This time, the crowd started talking again.
"Wait a minute!" Doctor Xue rarely raised his voice a little, "How can you believe what a young boy says?"
"Old man, who do you think is still young?!"
The fat boy became angry when he heard this and even wanted to hit someone, but luckily he was stopped by the official.
"Hit someone if you disagree with me, what a gangster!" The officer was furious, "I will teach your family a lesson today..."
"Wait a minute!" Magistrate Chai shouted loudly.
"Sir, this boy is too rude..."
Magistrate Chai, who was rarely in a hurry, pushed the official away and asked the boy politely: "May I ask if it's Mr. Zheng?"
"Hmph! That's polite." The fat boy held up his hand, showing a bit of disdain for the county magistrate.
When the people saw it, they were even more curious.
"Who is this kid? He is so arrogant at such a young age?"
"The key is that Mr. Chai is not displeased at all. Instead, he is respectful."
"Master Zheng? Is there any noble son named Zheng in Mang County?"
At this question, everyone in the discussion shook their heads.
Suddenly, someone interrupted and said: "There is no big family named Zheng in Mang County, but there is a big family named Zheng in Jixian County, the capital."
"Zheng family in Jixian County!"
As soon as these four words came out, everyone suddenly realized.
The Zheng family is extraordinary. It is the most famous family in Youzhou. It is also very famous in the Tang Dynasty. Even the Lin family in Mang County cannot be compared with it.
The ancestors of the Zheng family can be traced back to the Zheng State, which was entrusted by King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty. After the fall of the Zheng State, the family adopted the surname Zheng. During the Eastern Han and Sui dynasties, it was a famous and prestigious house in the north.
If this little fat man were a descendant of the Zheng family, a small town magistrate would never be able to offend him.
But why did this boy from the Zheng family appear in Mang County?
Not sure yet.
The people didn't know the Zheng family for a while, but when Doctor Xue heard "Mr. Zheng" and saw Magistrate Chai's respectful attitude, he immediately knew his identity and his expression changed.
In order to preserve the family, Divine Doctor Xue visited Youzhou a few years ago. He wanted to make friends with the head of the Zheng family in Jixian County, but he didn't want to be unable to even get in through the Zheng family's door.
If you can get a letter of recommendation from the Zheng family, you don't need to be famous at all, just because the Zheng family is located in the mountains in the north, even the emperor will give the Zheng family some respect.
Normally, Doctor Xue would have come up and said something nice, but now there was no way back, so he pretended not to know anything.
"I wonder what Mr. Zheng's purpose is in traveling to this county?" Magistrate Chai asked again with a smile.
"Let me ask you, do you believe what I, Zheng Xingzhi, say? I'm here to testify, does it count?"
"Zheng Xingzhi..." Magistrate Chai quickly wiped his sweat when he heard the other party's name.
Although the magistrate of Chaixian County has not seen him, his name has been heard for a long time. The famous dandy in Jixian County has spread to Mang County about his famous deeds in Jixian County, which shows what kind of person he is.
But the other party is the direct grandson of the Zheng family and has a distinguished status. No one in Youzhou dares to make irresponsible remarks.
Can you believe what this guy says?
Magistrate Chai’s first feeling was that he couldn’t believe it.
But how can I express my thoughts?
Maybe even the county magistrate will beat this kid up if he acts up.
I really don’t know how it will end then.
"County magistrate, tell me! Can you believe what I say?"
Magistrate Chai County smiled coquettishly: "I can believe it. Mr. Zheng comes from a famous family, so of course I can believe what he says."
"Okay!" Zheng Xingzhi clapped his hands, "Since you, the county magistrate, have said that it is trustworthy, why don't you arrest this old liar quickly? I saw it with my own eyes yesterday. He went to Qu's house, and then he went to the Qu family. Leave secretly. His testimony did not say that he went to Qu's house yesterday. It's obvious that he is lying!"
Magistrate Chai was not sure whether what this boy said was true or false, so he could only ask Divine Doctor Xue: "Is this possible?"
How could Divine Doctor Xue plead guilty? He replied seriously: "No such thing! Master Zheng, everything requires evidence. Even if you are a member of the Zheng family, you cannot ruin the reputation of the Zheng family with just one word!"
"Old man, what do you mean? I swear to God, I saw it with my own eyes! There is no lie. Are you saying that my Zheng family will slander you?!"
This is not a lie by Zheng Xingzhi, he indeed saw it with his own eyes.
It was God's will that there were very few people when Doctor Xue secretly bought medicine, but that didn't mean there were no people.
Zheng Xingzhi is one of them!
When they saw Zheng Xingzhi making a fuss, a few weak voices came from the crowd, saying that they had also seen Doctor Xue go to Qu's house early yesterday morning, but they only looked at him from a distance, and the backs looked very similar, so they couldn't be sure.
Something has changed.
If Zheng Xingzhi was the only one to identify, Magistrate Chai would not believe it at first, but if there were more than one person to identify, this matter would be suspicious.
There were more and more doubts among the crowd.
Doctor Xue’s face also became nervous.
"Look, so many people can testify, so what else do you have to defend?"
At this time, Bai Song also said: "If Divine Doctor Xue went to Qu's house yesterday to buy medicine, then it would be obvious. Divine Doctor Xue clearly bought a pair of fairy water for himself. After tasting it himself, he relied on his own medical knowledge Experience, and imitate a fairy water.
The previous competition was not to distinguish the level of medical skills, but to prove to everyone that because people did not know the prescription, the fairy water prepared in private was not as effective as the real fairy water. Moreover, this person does not know how to treat epidemics at all, but he wants to take credit from others for the sake of reputation. The real thief is this old guy! "
The eyes converge again.
Doctor Xue's expression was no longer visible under the gradually darkening sky.
Everyone has his own justice in his heart.
Starting from noon, the scenes in front of them were recorded in their hearts. At this moment, even if Divine Doctor Xue did not admit it, the balance in their hearts had quietly turned.
Magistrate Chai took a deep breath: "Doctor Xue, what else do you have to say?"
There is no conviction, but the context of the words is tantamount to conviction.
"You are talking nonsense! My grandpa would not..." The little granddaughter shouted loudly when she saw the unkind looks from everyone, but she did not believe that the greatest grandpa would do such a thing.
"Shan'er, there's no need to say anything more. The matter is now over, and grandpa doesn't have to hide it anymore."
"Grandpa..." The little girl raised her head in disbelief, "Could it be...could everything they said be true? It's impossible...it's impossible for grandpa to do such a thing!"
Doctor Xue sighed, the afterglow leaving him with the last trace of helplessness.
Magistrate Chai said in a deep voice: "Doctor Xue, although it is not a serious crime for you to falsely accuse others, it has ruined your reputation for life!"
"Sir, this old man has his own reasons for being like this."
Bai Song was delighted: "It's so ridiculous. Falsely accusing others, spreading rumors, and deceiving the people. What kind of suffering can there be in doing such evil things?"
"The Taoist priest is indeed a talented person. The fairy water prepared by the Taoist priest can cure epidemic diseases and is the savior of the people in Mang County. However, the Taoist priest refused to make the prescription public, but sold it in the market at a high price. The old man was heartbroken after seeing it. , If not, how could the people of Mang County know the prescription for the fairy water?
Although the old fairy water is fake, it was made in front of everyone in the county government today, and the people saw the whole process of making the fairy water with their own eyes. Although the old man deceived people, he also deceived the people of Mang County out of prescriptions! Everything the old man did was just to make the fairy water known to the world. My lord, the crime of old age should be dealt with according to the law, even if it is punished!
But the old man... has no regrets! "
"grandfather……"
After listening to Doctor Xue's "hardship", the little granddaughter's eyes were filled with tears. It turned out that grandpa was so great that he actually gave up his own reputation for the sake of the common people!
Although grandpa deceived people, he also deceived the people of Mang County into using the formula of fairy water.
Not only was the little girl trembling physically and mentally, but the people were also shocked by what Doctor Xue said.
How broad-minded and caring is this?
Doctor Xue saves people for the sake of people's livelihood.
Saving people is a business for this Taoist priest!
Although this Taoist priest has great talents, he has no virtue.
Doctor Xue is the one who cares about the world and is a benevolent doctor!
"Talent without virtue!"
A voice came out from the crowd, and Bai Song almost lost his temper because of this old guy.
"This old guy is so shameless! According to the routine of traditional time-travel novels, the plot of pretending to slap him in the face to kill the minions should have ended long ago. Why is the villain villain I encountered so powerful!"
