After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 48: No judgment in court, filial son is not filial

The police brought two doctors from the First Street Clinic to the county government office and the case continued to be tried.

"I am Zhang Jimin, the humble servant, and I am here to greet you, sir."

"I, Zhao Zeguang, pay my respects to you, sir."

"Please stand up, both doctors," said Magistrate Wang.

"Can someone from the hall take his father to your clinic?"

Zhang and Zhao had already seen Qian Asheng when they entered the room, and they said in unison, "Yes."

"How was his father's condition at the time?"

"Medicine is ineffective and we don't have much time left," said Zhang Jimin.

"That's true, so I didn't give him any treatment," said Zhao Zeguang.

"I am the same." Zhang Jimin continued.

"Doctor Lin Yunsen's acupressure on the Hegu, Houxi, Weizhong, Taiyang and Fengchi acupoints, is it life-threatening?"

"These five acupoints are all for relieving pain. Doctor Lin is well versed in medicine, so there shouldn't be any problem." Zhang Jimin said as he turned his head to look at the three members of the Lin family.

"Sir! This is clearly a case of colleagues covering up for each other! Mr. Lin said these are the acupoints, but how do we know he didn't press the wrong ones?" Qian Asheng started shouting again.

"Bang!" County Magistrate Wang slammed the gavel.

"Doctor Zhang, Doctor Zhao, please go back for a while." said County Magistrate Wang.

After Zhang and Zhao exchanged greetings, they walked out of the yamen.

"This matter cannot be concluded today, and we will hear it again on another day. Qian Asheng, I want to ask you another question. Did you take people to Jishidiang and Lin Yunsen's house to cause trouble yesterday?" Magistrate Wang turned around and asked.

"It's unfair, sir! I have never caused any trouble. Yesterday at the clinic, my friend just couldn't stand the clinic's overbearing power and couldn't help but have a few words with him. We didn't cause any trouble."

"You..." Hearing this argument, the Lin family father and son became furious.

"Sir, please listen to what I have to say." Lin Mingyuan said.

"speak."

"Yesterday at the clinic, Qian Ahsheng brought seven or eight people and started yelling and swearing, demanding compensation. I, my father, and my brother tried to reason with them, but they started fighting. The counter was pushed over, and my father was almost injured. In the evening, several people yelled and swore outside my house. My family members went out to persuade them, but they were beaten for no reason. My family and neighbors were all frightened. This is clearly a deliberate disturbance, and it is definitely not what Qian Ahsheng said, 'no disturbance'. Please understand."

"Please have a clear look, sir. The officers who spoke yesterday can also testify." Lin Mingxuan quickly continued.

"Sir, I am too sad to control myself for the moment. Please understand." Qian Asheng began to kneel.

Magistrate Wang paused and said, "Let's go here today and wait for the results of the coroner's examination. Qian Asheng, Lin Yunsen, Lin Mingxuan, and Lin Mingxuan, the four of you will stay in the county jail for the time being until the next hearing."

"Sir! I am a victim, why should I go to jail too?" Qian Asheng shouted, but County Magistrate Wang ignored him and the officers took the four men to jail.

Ding Xirui looked at Lin Mingxuan's back, his heart was in a knot. There was no result today, and everyone dispersed. Ding Xirui took Ruyi and others to the clinic to wait for Banxia. On the way, some people were already discussing the affairs of Jishitang, and some people who knew Ding Xirui began to point fingers at her.

The carriage took a long time to travel from the East Market to the West Alley. When passing by the Ding family's herbal medicine shop, Banxia did not get off the carriage. They had to hurry because the young lady was still waiting and the Lin family members were still kneeling in the county government office. They had to hurry.

But as she walked, she began to wonder why the man surnamed Qian didn't go to the West Market to see a doctor, but went to the East Market instead?

When they arrived at Liuqiao Lane, Banxia got off the car. At the entrance of the lane, several sisters-in-law were picking vegetables. Banxia asked:

"Sister-in-law, do you know where Qian Asheng's home is?"

"It's the fifth house on this side of the alley. Are you his relative? Are you here to attend the funeral?" the eldest sister-in-law asked.

"No, sister-in-law. I work at the herbal medicine store. Uncle Qian is sick, and Qian Asheng bought some medicine, but he hasn't paid for it yet."

"It's really strange. How could that scoundrel buy medicine for his father? The sun is rising from the west." Another sister-in-law looked incredulous.

"Scoundrel?" Banxia asked cautiously.

"Yes, that guy was idle all day long, and when he came back, he took all the money from the family. His mother died two years ago. I heard that she died because of him."

"After his father fell ill, he basically didn't take care of him. It was our neighbors who went to take care of him from time to time. That Ah Sheng was really a scoundrel, and we usually didn't dare to offend him. His father passed away yesterday, and he didn't even hold a funeral. This morning, he carried the body to the county government to file a complaint. It was really a sin."

“It’s really a sin.”

Several sisters-in-law shook their heads.

"Girl, I don't think you'll get your money back."

"I have to give it a try. So there's no one at his house now?" Banxia asked.

"Yes. There is a man who calls him a brother, and is also a scoundrel. He has been coming to his house frequently recently and is here now."

"I heard that the man took his elderly family member to the clinic for treatment, but the illness was not cured, so he asked someone to cause trouble at the clinic and extorted a large sum of money."

"Whoever runs into this will be unlucky."

The sisters-in-law began to shake their heads again.

"Thank you, sisters-in-law. Do you know the name of that person?"

"My surname seems to be Wu, and my name is something like Ah-ming."

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I don't want the money. It's too dangerous." Banxia said.

"That's right, it's not worth it."

Banxia turned around and got in the car.

"Let me take this information back first and see what the young lady says." She thought to herself.

"Ayi, hurry up and drive the car. Let's go back to Jishiditang to find the young lady."

"Okay." Ayi whipped his whip and increased his speed.

In Jishitang, Ding Xirui was looking forward to it. The cook of the clinic brought food, but no one could eat it.

"I don't know if they have eaten today, and what they have eaten." Ding Xirui was worried about the father and his two sons who were still in the county government office.

In the afternoon, a strong wind blew, bringing a sudden downpour. Large raindrops fell on the ground, splashing bubbles. The bluestone slabs on the street were quickly washed clean, and streams of water flowed along the edges of the slabs into the street ditches. In the rain, the Lin family's carriage drove over.

"Mingshi, hurry up and get an umbrella!" In the rain and fog, Ding Xirui saw Ayi who was soaked like a drowned chicken and hurriedly gave the order.

"Miss, we are back." Banxia jumped off the carriage.

"come on in!"

"Young Madam, I'll lead the horse into the backyard first and come back later!" After saying this, Ayi drove the carriage away again.

"Akashi, do you have any clean clothes? Go to the backyard and find some for Yi to change into."

"Ruyi, go to the back hall and serve the food. Let them eat first."

Ding Xirui gave instructions hurriedly, then turned around and poured a cup of tea for Banxia.

Banxia took the teacup, drank it all in one breath, took a few breaths, and said:

"Miss, you were right to ask me to go to Xishi. There is indeed something wrong with Qian Asheng."

"You take a rest first and talk after everyone is here." Ding Xirui straightened her hair.

"Okay." Banxia sat down and recalled what she had just heard.

Ruyi came in with the food, and the sound of a carriage was heard from the backyard. After a while, Ayi came in after changing his clothes.

Ding Xirui poured another cup of tea: "Ayi, you've worked hard, drink some water first."

"Thank you, Madam." Ayi took the cup of water and drank it in one breath.

"Eat a few bites of food first." Ding Xirui asked the two to sit down.

"Yes." Banxia and Ayi were hungry for a long time, so they didn't care about anything else and ate their food. Ruyi found a dry cloth and helped Ayi dry his hair.

After swallowing the last bite of rice, Banxia spoke up: "Miss, Qian Asheng's neighbors said that he is an unfilial son."

"How exactly is it unfilial?" Ding Xirui asked.

Banxia told everyone exactly what the sisters-in-law had said.

After listening to this, Ding Xirui understood most of it. The scoundrel surnamed Wu had done evil things in the West Market first, and Qian Asheng followed suit, also wanting to make a fortune by taking advantage of the old man's illness. But they were already notorious in the West Market, and all the clinics tried to avoid them, so he brought the old man to the East Market, and unfortunately, Jishitang fell into their trap.

"Jishidang was deliberately framed this time." Ding Xirui said.

The others also understood most of what was going on, and Akashi was so angry that he punched the wall.

Now there are two things to do. First, someone needs to come forward to testify to Qian Asheng's unfilial behavior. The neighbors are afraid of scoundrels, so it may be difficult. The government needs to step in. Second, the specific situation of the man surnamed Wu needs to be investigated. The Jishitang incident and similar incidents in other medical clinics mentioned by Lin Mingxuan may be gang crimes. After all, there are still a few scoundrels who beat people and are nowhere to be found.

Thinking of this, Ding Xirui and his companions hurried back to the Lin Mansion despite the heavy rain.
