Cao Deping put his hands behind his back and snorted coldly: "Anyway, she will have to shed her skin even if she doesn't die!"
Cao Chengwen was happy at first, and then asked with some worry: "But those few people didn't kill anyone after all. She was at best a quack doctor who misled people. Then she was locked up for a few days and then released. Isn't it still..."
"Idiot!" Cao Deping couldn't help but kicked him. "Four people died in just a few days! If there is any more trouble now, what will the county magistrate do to you?"
Do things in a certain way!
The magistrate is now willing to turn a blind eye and help them, firstly because of his cousin's face, and secondly because he also wants to close the case as soon as possible and suppress all these matters.
If another person dies, it will make people panic, and if they are not saved, someone will accuse the county magistrate of being incompetent, and even a small Jiangling cannot be managed well.
"The term of office of the magistrate is about to expire. It is said that he is expected to be promoted this time, so we must not make any mistakes during this period!"
As long as that person gets promoted, won't they also be able to benefit from it?
At that time, a small Jiangling will be nothing!
Cao Chengwen's eyes instantly lit up: "Seriously!?"
Cao Deping stroked his beard and looked a little proud: "Your cousin told me this in person, how can it be false? But you must not reveal this news to anyone, do you hear me?"
"My son is not stupid, he still has some sense of propriety!" Cao Chengwen quickly patted his chest to assure him.
But then, the scene of the confrontation with Ye Chutang at the Yamen Gate that day appeared in front of his eyes, and for some reason he always felt inexplicably panicked.
"But, Dad, I think that Ye Chutang is quite capable. We still have to take more precautions. Even if we can't hold her to death, we must not give her another chance to stand up!"
"Promise!" Cao Deping snorted disdainfully, "How much ability can she have from a womanly family? She will probably be scared to death just by entering the Yamen! Nowadays, all the major pharmacies in Jiangling no longer do her business. , several accidents occurred, and the medical center was closed. Even if she could come out, she would not be able to stay in Gangneung. Turn over? What a dream!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but blame Cao Chengwen.
"Ever since you were young, you have always had this temperament. You lack courage and are more than cowardly. You are afraid of wolves in front of you and tigers in back! How can you be like Cheng Wu——"
Having said this, he paused, swallowed the rest of his words, snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and turned to leave.
After he left, Cao Chengwen slowly raised his head and looked at him with resentful and unwilling eyes.
Over the years, he and Cheng Wu have been compared frequently, and Cheng Wu is always praised more, as if he is inferior to Cheng Wu in every aspect!
But now Chengwu is dead! Dad is still——
Cao Chengwen stood up slowly and couldn't help but sneer.
Yes, Cheng Wu is dead anyway, and no one will fight with him anymore.
Even if dad knew that he did all this, wouldn't he still have to protect him?
Now just wait patiently for the results.
Ye Chutang...
Thinking of the pouring spring rain that day, the woman was holding an oil-paper umbrella, and the delicate white wrist exposed was particularly eye-catching.
Cao Chengwen narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little hot in his heart.
In the whole of Jiangling, there is no woman with such appearance and temperament. If she is——
…
"So, you really don't want to leave today?"
In front of the steps, Ye Chutang asked again.
Lian Zhou nodded firmly: "Yes."
The master has made up his mind, and if he wants to find out everything here, they will naturally not be able to leave.
Ye Chutang glanced inside the room.
No one could be seen, only a faint glimpse of the crescent-white hem of the brocade robe.
It seemed like they really didn't plan to leave.
In his two lifetimes, Ye Chutang saw this kind of person for the first time.
Don't dodge or avoid trouble, but keep moving forward.
Fine.
Ye Chutang didn't dwell on this matter for too long and nodded lightly.
"In that case, it won't be too late to wait until Mr. Shen's injury is healed before leaving. However, I may not be able to continue to help with medical treatment during the next period of time."
Lian Zhou immediately said: "Doctor Ye, don't worry, we also know this. Just go ahead and do your work. I will take care of our master."
Anyway, according to her, just taking the medicine for a short period of time will be enough, and he can do all these things.
Ye Chutang smiled lightly: "So, please pay the accommodation and food expenses."
…
"She actually wants to charge us extra money!?"
Lian Zhou's face was filled with disbelief.
"The medical fees we have given her in the past few days are enough to buy another yard!"
Shen Yanchuan lay lazily on the wooden rattan chair, but when he heard this, he curled up his lips, as if he was not surprised at all: "The medical center is closed, and she asked us to leave, which means she has settled the account with us. If we continue to stay, she will naturally have to Collect money again.”
Lian Zhou was even more shocked: "That's what she said, how did you know!?"
No need to think about it? This is an easy guess.
Ever since the night of the Spring Lantern Festival, Shen Yanchuan felt that he would not be surprised or surprised by anything she did.
"Just give it to her."
The master gave an order, and Lian Zhou naturally had to obey.
It's not that there's a lack of money, but...it's like giving it out one by one, like running water, who can bear it!
Lian Zhou couldn't help but complain: "I don't know what kind of man can stand such a woman!"
Shen Yanchuan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he suddenly looked up and asked, "Go and find out when she came to Jiangling and who her former husband was."
If you want to find out the relationship between her and Xu Fengchi, you must first understand her identity and her background.
The fastest way is naturally to start with the people around her.
…
After arranging things at home, Ye Chutang went to the Yamen with Wu Xu and others.
While walking on the road, Ye Chutang suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, what happened to Liu Si's previous case?"
Wu Xu was a little surprised. Aren't ordinary people supposed to be most concerned about their own affairs at this time? Why did she ask about other people's situation instead?
He then thought about it and felt that Ye Chutang might still be worried about Ye Yunfeng being involved, so he comforted him: "Doctor Ye, don't worry, Liu Si has confessed, saying that Cao Chengwu was killed by himself, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
It was a pure mistake to find Ye Yunfeng before.
"Oh?" Ye Chutang seemed a little surprised, "Didn't Zhou accuse Cao Chengwen in public that day?"
Wu Xu explained helplessly: "That's true, but the key point is that she has no evidence! So after repeated interrogations, Cao Chengwen was released."
Ye Chutang lowered his eyes slightly.
Cao Chengwen must have been preparing for this day for a long time, so he was very cautious in every step. Although there was Zhou's testimony, there was no way to convict Cao Chengwen without evidence.
But Liu Si was destined to die.
Soon after arriving at the yamen gate, Wu Xu whispered: "Doctor Ye, this is just a routine inquiry. Don't be nervous."
Ye Chutang looked up and saw a woman's figure flash past behind the door.
The rich clothes and expensive ornaments are quite charming.
It was Liu Yiyi, the current county magistrate’s wife and Cao Deping’s cousin.
