Bianjing female doctor has a melon-eating system
Chapter 70 Mr. Cui of the Court of Punishment
"Master Xie, you're awake!" Ji Yutang pushed Lu Zheng away and happily went to check the temperature on Xie Huaichu's forehead, "Great, it worked. The fever has gone down."
Xie Huaichu smiled weakly at her: "Thank you, Madam Ji, for saving my life. I owe you a favor now."
"Master Xie, you are so polite. We are all friends with each other. We don't need to say so many polite words." Ji Yutang said with a smile to Xie Huaichu, then turned to face Lu Zheng, and his face suddenly changed. , "Master Xie is so polite, unlike someone else."
Yuan Si glanced at Lu Zheng with a sad look: "Maybe Mr. Lu has always been in a high position and feels that these are what ordinary people like us should do."
These words were like a piece of ice piercing Lu Zheng's heart. Lu Zheng was shocked. He had really forgotten that Yuan Si's words really touched his pain. It seemed that he had been in a high position for too long and had lost his original intention.
Lu Zheng coughed twice unnaturally: "Ms. Ji, you also saved my life. If you need me to do anything in the future, please let me know. I will be obliged to do so."
Ji Yutang didn't save Lu Zheng to repay his kindness, and he just mentioned it casually. She waved her hand towards Lu Zheng: "Master Lu, let's wait until you are reinstated."
Lu Zheng held his chest and cried silently. Ji Yutang's words hit his pain point again.
Xie Huaichu had just woken up, and he didn't know what happened just now: "What happened to Mr. Lu? What kind of official reinstatement?"
Ji Yutang briefly told Xie Huaichu what had just happened.
When he heard that they had exposed their traces, Xie Huaichu's heart tightened, and he secretly blamed himself for becoming a burden to Ji Yutang. If he hadn't wanted to protect himself, with Ji Yutang's dexterity and the silver needle in her hand, he would have been able to escape safely.
When he heard that Yuan Si was brave and righteous, and turned back to save Ji Yutang, Xie Huaichu felt moved in his heart, just like Yuan Si cast a grateful look.
When he heard Ji Yutang wiping his body with liquor to cool down, Xie Huaichu noticed a hint of coolness. He pretended not to care and silently gathered up the clothes that were torn by Ji Yutang, but a blush crept up on his face.
"Eh? Why is your face red again? Are you feeling hot again?" Ji Yutang noticed his change and raised her hand to test the temperature on his forehead.
Xie Huaichu couldn't stop him in time, and watched helplessly as the white and tender hand pressed against his forehead. The moment it touched, his heart began to beat wildly, and his body began to sweat unconsciously.
"It's okay, it's not very hot." Ji Yutang withdrew his hand, and Xie Huaichu quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at her.
Ji Yutang didn't notice anything was wrong with him at all. She said: "It's better to leave Qiu Mansion as soon as possible. Your fever is only temporarily relieved. If you don't have enough protection, it will relapse. You need to find a medical clinic. But that Master Cui is an old man." Stubborn, I’m afraid I have to wait until he settles matters in Qiu Mansion before he can go out.”
Xie Huaichu thought of something and asked, "Is it Mr. Cui Xincui who is in charge of the trial court?"
"It's him, do you know him?" Ji Yutang asked.
Xie Huaichu nodded: "After dealing with him, he is indeed a bit stubborn, but he doesn't have bad intentions. Why don't I go see him?"
"Can it be done?" Ji Yutang asked worriedly.
It was only when she got here that she realized what it means to "suppress people to death at the highest official level". Cui Xin's position was several levels higher than Xie Huaichu's. He didn't even listen to Lu Zheng's words. How could he listen to Xie Huaichu's words?
Xie Huaichu comforted her: "Try it, there is no other way now, let's treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor."
"Then I'll go with you." Ji Yutang said.
"I'll go too." Yuan Si followed.
Lu Zheng looked at this and that with a determined look on his face. He followed weakly: "Then I'll go too."
Several people formed a group to find Cui Xin, and Cui Xin happened to send someone to question them.
When he arrived at the main hall of Qiu Mansion, Ji Yutang recognized Cui Xin at a glance without any introduction.
Without him, Cui Xin looks...too sloppy.
He had a dark, bitter face covered with messy eyebrows and beard, and only a pair of gleaming eyes could be seen through the gaps. He was also dressed sloppily, with an official hat stained with oil on his head and a dark purple robe that was not old but still smelled of mutton soup.
Ji Yutang sniffed, yes, it was freshly cooked mutton soup from Uncle Wang's house in Dongzhi Alley. He also added garlic and ate it.
"You guys came just in time, I was just about to ask you a question." Cui Xin scratched his beard, pointed at the chairs and said, "No need to be polite, just sit down."
Wenming Xin was also there, sitting next to Cui Xin doing his job - recording confessions.
"I have already asked Mr. Qiu. His words are full of loopholes and are not worth listening to. I am coming to you now because I want to know what the truth is. Don't be afraid of anything. The Court of Justice has the highest authority to hear cases. At the same time, it is also the most just." Cui Xin made his position clear as soon as he opened his mouth.
He glanced around for a week with his glaring eyes, which made people feel like they wanted to avoid looking at him. Cui Xin smiled: "Then which of you will speak first?"
Ji Yutang raised his hand and said: "Let me tell you first, I have experienced the whole process personally, and I am also the most sober one."
Cui Xin nodded and signaled Wenming Xin to record the confession. Wenming Xin was dissatisfied. He rubbed his wrist and complained in his heart: I exerted so much strength today that my wrist is about to break. Damn Cui Xin, you won't let me go just now and want to squeeze the last of my life. Labor value!
"Hey, do your best and I won't let anyone read you in front of the officials." Cui Xinxun glanced at him.
Wenming Xin gritted his teeth angrily, he could bear it! Resigned to his fate, he picked up the brush and dipped it in a stroke of ink.
Ji Yutang slowly explained the case in great detail, from the time she and Xie Huaichu received the paper balls after the banquet last night until they were rescued by the archers today. However, she only told what happened, not the truth she inferred. In this feudal society, one must know how to hide one's clumsiness, especially for a small person like her with no connections. So she hid her clumsiness a little in front of Cui Xin, but didn't show it so obviously. Mastering this degree could make Cui Xin's eyes shine on her, but she wouldn't be afraid of her, only to the extent of admiration.
After Ji Yutang finished speaking, Lu Zheng and Yuan Si added a few words and said nothing more.
Sure enough, Cui Xin took a deep look at Ji Yutang and showed an expression of appreciation: "It seems that the most popular cases of the young lady's disappearance and the smuggling of smuggled salt, as well as today's case, are all related to the Taiping Religion."
Xie Huaichu's eyebrows moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered that Xie Zhen went home and went crazy when he saw the Taiping Cult members. Somehow, an uneasy feeling arose in his heart, but he suppressed it for the time being.
Ji Yutang said: "That's not all. The red butterfly case that happened in the palace before is also related to them. The red butterfly poison that Qiu Mengdan used to refine the elixir is the red butterfly poison. Legend has it that the red butterfly poison can make people youthful. Yongzhu, I think the Taiping Sect may be refining the elixir of life."
