"How can a young man like you know medical skills? You are still stubborn even when you come to the county government office, you..."

"Enough!" Seeing that they were about to argue again, Magistrate Tan had no choice but to interrupt them.

He turned to look at Gu Lingze and asked, "Do you have any evidence for what you said?"

Xu Mingyan stepped forward and said, "Sir, my family and I can all testify that Gu Lingze knows medical skills."

"There is also the Yunlai Restaurant's owner Qiu and Zhao Chengmo's colleague Wu Xu who can serve as witnesses in court."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Tan stroked his beard and thought for a moment.

Although Gu Lingze was a young man but was proficient in medicine, it was indeed a little beyond his expectations.

But with so many people as witnesses, it can't be wrong.

After thinking it over, I made up my mind.

"Since Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo have both proven their innocence, we now have all the evidence."

Magistrate Tan looked down at them and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Zhao, do you have anything else to say?"

At this point, Zhao Chuantie and Hu were speechless. The two of them hung their heads dejectedly like defeated roosters.

"Since you two have nothing to say, then good."

"Someone, come here, Zhao Chuantie and Hu Fangxia falsely accused others, drag them away and give them 15 lashes each to serve as a warning to others."

The bailiff received the order and immediately stepped forward and dragged the two men onto the bench.

After being beaten with fifteen heavy sticks, both Zhao Chuantie and Hu fell off their stools. During the beating, they both cried out in pain as if they were dying.

Mrs. Hu's eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Magistrate Tan looked at the two men with some disgust. It was only fifteen lashes of the cane, but they were acting so pretentiously.

Little did they know that Gu Lingze had used a giant force talisman to play tricks on the board, making the two of them feel heart-wrenching pain in just a moment.

After the matter was settled, the few people walked out of the county government office, and a bailiff hurriedly ran up to them.

He clasped his fists and said to Gu Lingze, "Please stay. The magistrate wants to see you."

Seeing this, Gu Lingze asked Uncle Xu and the others to go to Brother Wu's shop to rest first. He and Zhao Chengmo followed the yamen runners to the back of the county government office.

The two men entered the main hall, where Magistrate Tan was sitting drinking tea. He stood up when he saw them coming.

"Tan has something to trouble you two. Please follow me to a place first."

Seeing the other party's sincere attitude, Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo looked at each other and followed County Magistrate Tan.

The three of them came to a private residence. County Magistrate Tan knocked on the door, and a man about thirty years old opened the door.

When he saw County Magistrate Tan, he was stunned at first, and then a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Father-in-law, why are you here?"

This person was none other than Mr. Luo. It was because of him that Miss Zhen had previously had a conflict with the young man of the county magistrate's family.

Now County Cheng Tan has become County Magistrate Tan, and Mr. Luo and the young man are married.

Logically, the two of them should be considered a good match and have a lot in common, but why does he have this expression when he sees his father-in-law?

"I heard from Ming Ge'er that your mother was ill. Is she feeling better now?"

Gu Lingze noticed that when Magistrate Tan asked this question, there seemed to be some displeasure in his tone.

"Now that you're feeling better, go and bring Ming back so he can take care of your mother." Before he could finish, Magistrate Tan interrupted him.

"You are already married, it's not appropriate for him to always live in your house."

After hearing this, Mr. Luo looked a little hesitant. He looked up at Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo, not knowing how to start.

Seeing his expression, County Magistrate Tan snorted in displeasure.

"It seems like you don't want to take Ming Ge back."

When Mr. Luo heard this, he quickly stood up and denied it repeatedly.

Gu Lingze was a little curious. When he heard Uncle Xu talking about the restaurant before, it was obvious that Mr. Luo was very protective of his husband and was even willing to offend Mr. Zhen for this.

How come now that we're married, it's turned out like this?

Looking at Mr. Luo's face, he seemed to be a bright and handsome man, but why was he so hesitant when answering a question?

Zhao Chengmo saw Gu Lingze looking at Mr. Luo from time to time. He stared at the other's handsome face and suddenly alarm bells rang in his heart.

Maybe it was because the eyes of the three people present were all focused on him, but Mr. Luo was now feeling very uncomfortable.

At this moment, a young woman with a graceful figure walked in carrying a tea tray.

He came in, bowed, and said to Mr. Luo, "Cousin, my aunt heard that there were guests coming, so she asked me to serve tea."

Her eyes flickered as she spoke, and her tone was so gentle that it could make water come out of her.

Gu Lingze looked at the atmosphere between the two and finally understood what was going on.

But he was so busy watching the fun that he didn't notice that the face of the person next to him was getting darker and darker.

Mr. Luo was getting more and more embarrassed, so he could only say to Magistrate Tan: "My mother is still feeling a little unwell, so I asked my cousin to come and serve her. I hope my father-in-law will forgive me."

Magistrate Tan sneered, "Since your mother is still ill, I just happened to invite someone who knows medical skills to come and treat your mother."

After saying that, he stood up and walked to the door. Seeing that Mr. Luo was still standing there in a daze, he frowned and said, "Why don't you lead the way?"

Mr. Luo actually had some doubts about his mother's illness, so he invited the three of them to Li's room.

Just as I was about to push the door open, the woman serving tea behind me suddenly shouted loudly inside.

"Aunt, my cousin has brought the county magistrate to see you."

County Magistrate Tan turned his head and glanced at her coldly, which immediately frightened her into silence.

Several people entered the room. Li was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Even the loud noise of them coming in did not wake her up.

Gu Lingze sneered inwardly. He had just told someone to serve tea to the guests, but now he was sleeping soundly again.

The people present were not fools and naturally knew the trick. However, they were concerned about Mr. Luo's face and did not say anything.

In order to avoid suspicion, County Magistrate Tan did not dare to get any closer. He just stood at the table from a distance and glanced at Li.

After taking a look, he turned around and said to Gu Lingze, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Gu."

Gu Lingze nodded and walked to the bed. Li's eyeballs kept shaking from side to side, and it was obvious that she was pretending to sleep.

Mr. Luo was still a little puzzled as to why a young man came to see the doctor, but since it was his father-in-law who asked him to come, he didn't dare to question him.

Gu Lingze didn't want to go through the trouble, but he had to do his best to fulfill the task entrusted to him.

Just as he was about to put his hand on Li's wrist to feel her pulse, she suddenly sat up.

Seeing this, Mr. Luo hurried forward and said, "Mom, you're awake."

Li did not reply immediately, but looked around with a somewhat ferocious expression.

He replied in a hoarse voice: "I am not your mother."

"Mom, you..."

"You are such an unfilial son. You have let down the ancestors of the Luo family. You have made us old bones restless even after death!"
