Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

It was inconvenient to talk through the fence, so Cui Qiyan asked Magistrate Yang to open the cell door and let the three of them go in.

After entering, Tan Hao found that Dr. Tan was limping when walking, so he quickly went over to help him sit down.

"Dad, what happened to your legs? Did they torture you?"

"I'm fine. You can go see your elder brother later. He is more seriously injured than me."

Tan Haohong glared at Magistrate Yang, "Does Mr. Yang intend to give in to the attack?"

In front of Cui Qiyan, Magistrate Yang explained in a pleasant manner: "How could I do such a shameful thing? This is just one part of the inquiry. Don't worry, I have asked people to show mercy. It won’t hurt the inside.”

"I don't know when the Da Yin law stipulated that torture was a necessary part of interrogation?" Cui Qiyan said coolly.

"My lord Cui, please forgive me, it was just a momentary slip of the lower official."

Magistrate Yang's mind suddenly changed. This Master Cui was obviously here specifically for Dr. Tan. According to common sense, acquaintances should avoid suspicion, but Master Cui still allowed the court to send him here. This shows that this person is not simple.

County Magistrate Yang secretly looked at Cui Qiyan and saw that he was only in his early twenties, but he had an extraordinary bearing and was able to hold the post of a fifth-level supervisory censor. He was definitely not something he, a small magistrate, could offend.

He thought it would be better for him to avoid it, "Xiaguan, wait outside. Mr. Cui will ask slowly if he has anything to say."

After Magistrate Yang left, Dr. Tan looked at Dong Jiafu and Cui Qiyan and asked, "Girl Dong, did you come with Mr. Cui?"

He still remembered that in the medical clinic, Miss Dong could not avoid Mr. Cui.

Dong Jiafu nodded silently.

Tan Hao said: "Dad, I wrote a letter to Mr. Cui, asking for his help. That's why he came here with Miss Dong."

"How can you trouble Mr. Cui?" Mr. Tan frowned when he heard this.

"I was also panicked. I didn't know how to rescue you and my eldest brother, so I thought of Mr. Cui..."

"Mr. Tan, there is no need to blame him. You have saved my life. Now that something happens to you, how can I sit idly by and do nothing?" Cui Qiyan spoke for Tan Hao.

Dr. Tan glanced at Dong Jiafu and sighed, "We, father and son, deserve what Mr. Cui said. When I brought you back to the hospital, I hesitated when I saw that your injuries were not simple. It was Ms. Dong who said she knew you. , I kept you because I was willing to pay for your treatment. She should be the one you want to thank."

Tan Hao then added: "It was Miss Dong who discovered you first when we were on the mountain. When you left, she was the one who gave me the money I gave you..."

"Master, senior brother, don't mention what has happened in the past." Dong Jiafu quickly stopped him.

Cui Qiyan turned his head and stared at her deeply, "Actually, when I knew you were in the hospital at that time, I already guessed these things. But I didn't expect that you did more for me than I thought."

"The master who treated your injury didn't ask for my silver, so don't worry." Dong Jiafu said quickly without looking at him, "What's more, without the master's medical skills, no matter how much silver you have, it will be useless."

"I understand, that's why I came to find out." Cui Qiyan knew that this was not the time to say these words, so he returned to the case and asked Dr. Tan, "What do you think about Zhang Shi's death?"

Hearing this, Dr. Tan's expression became solemn, "I am also very confused about his death. He was born weak in the womb. He was a medicine pot since he was a child. He finally grew up and his body and bones were stronger than before. Some, but they are still suffering from various diseases.”

"How do you know him so well?"

"This is not the first time that he has come to the hospital to see me for treatment. He has been here several times in the past few years, and I have become familiar with his condition and causes."

Dong Jiafu asked directly: "Senior brother said that the man had weak spleen yang, and the prescription prescribed by the master was right for his symptoms. Since the prescription is fine, is it possible that he has a sudden heart palpitations?"

Doctor Tan quickly shook his head, "No, after I learned about this matter, I thought about it carefully. Although Zhang Shi has constant ailments, he does not suffer from heart palpitations unless it is caused by something."

"But I can guarantee that if he takes the medicine I prepared, he will never die from heart palpitations."

"Have you ever seen Zhang Shi's body after the incident?" Cui Qiyan asked.

Mr. Tan lowered his head and sighed, "No, the people from the Yamen rushed directly to Hui'an Hall and arrested my eldest son and me. We also wanted to take a look at Zhang Shi, but his family refused to say anything and insisted. People died after taking the medicine prepared by our medical clinic."

"Who else is in his family?"

"He was frail and sick, and he was the youngest son in the family. When he reached the age when he should have started a family, his parents passed away one after another, which delayed him. In addition to his own health, the family did not have much money, and he had no money until he was thirty-five or sixty-six years old. Get a wife.”

Tan Hao handed Dr. Tan a glass of water from the side. After he drank it, he continued: "He lives with his eldest brother's family, so he can be taken care of."

"Master, I still have a question," Dong Jiafu said, "I believe your prescription is symptomatic, so why does the Yamen still think that you misdiagnosed Zhang Shi? If you give the prescription to other doctors, they will know that it is not you. 's fault."

"Alas," Dr. Tan put the empty water glass heavily on the table, "Hui'antang has been operating in Linqing County for decades, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dominant family. Colleagues are enemies, and people are killed. How could those people take risks to vouch for me?"

"Moreover, I boldly used aconite in my prescription, and no one dared to speak out. But I prescribed this prescription to Zhang Shi last year, and he was fine after taking the medicine."

Tan Hao said slowly: "Dad, when Mr. Cui and Miss Dong first arrived at our house, I told them about the prescription. They suspected that the problem might be in the decoction."

After hearing this, Dr. Tan looked at Dong Jiafu and Cui Qiyan in surprise, "You mean, someone moved their hands and feet while the medicine was being cooked?"

"Excluding other reasons, what remains is the truth." Cui Qiyan said.

"It doesn't make sense," said Dr. Tan, who was puzzled. "Who would harm a sick young man? What's the point?"

Cui Qiyan said solemnly: "It depends on whose death is beneficial to him."

"We have to go find Mr. Yang to see the medicine residue." Dong Jiafu reminded.

Cui Qiyan stood up and said, "If Mr. Tan has nothing else to say, we will go check the medicine residue first."

Dr. Tan nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. You came all the way from the capital for my father and son."

"Master, don't worry, we will find out the truth. Please take care of yourself." Dong Jiafu was worried that his body could not bear it.

"Seeing you makes me feel more at ease."

"Miss Dong, Mr. Cui, you go first. I'll look at the injuries of father and eldest brother before I go find you." Tan Hao said.

"Okay, let's go find Master Yang first." Cui Qiyan responded.
