The bandit leader at the front refused to speak.
"Because..." The bandit kneeling behind him was too spineless and quickly explained, "Because someone sent a letter to our boss with a thousand taels of silver attached, asking us to kidnap those two children. If we succeed, we will get another thousand taels!"
"Who is that person?"
"I...we don't know. It's just a letter."
Even after being tortured, no one could tell the reason. It seemed that no one really knew what they had done.
Each of these dozen or so bandits had killed someone, so they were basically sentenced to beheading. The only exception was the short man, who was given a lighter sentence of five years of hard labor.
Because Sanbao pleaded for this person, Wei Qing also went to investigate this person.
This man was originally an ordinary farmer with a wife and children. When a famine hit and his wife was on the verge of starvation, he was forced to become a bandit. After Qinglong Village was destroyed, he managed to escape and planned to live in seclusion in the mountains with his wife.
Unexpectedly, the remnants had reunited. He hadn't wanted to go back, but those people threatened his wife's life, so he had no choice but to return to the village. He usually worked in the kitchen, so he hadn't been involved in many deaths.
He also had a daughter who was about the same age as Sanbao, so when he saw Sanbao, he felt pity for her.
It was this compassion that saved his life.
This was a blessing in disguise for the man.
As long as five years of hard labor are over, he can go back and reunite with his wife and children!
He can live a peaceful life, and no one will threaten the safety of his wife and children anymore!
That's how the case was closed.
…
night.
Wei Qing told Tang Li about this.
Tangli looked thoughtful.
Combined with that nightmare...
"The timing is too coincidental. The person who sent the letter to the bandits obviously wanted to take revenge on County Magistrate Wen." Tang Li said.
She seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked up at Wei Qing.
Wei Qing said, "There's obviously someone behind that poison doctor. He's unfathomable. Could it be..."
It was obvious that the two of them thought of the same thing.
Could it be that because the poison doctor was executed, the other party held a grudge and used such despicable means to retaliate against County Magistrate Wen and Wei Qing?!
Tang Li thought about what happened in the nightmare. The person behind the scenes was so cruel to the children. He was really not a human being.
It is understandable that such a vengeful and cruel person would be mixed up with such an inhuman beast like the poison doctor.
Tang Li suddenly thought of something and his expression became serious: "Husband, you have to send a few people to protect Doctor Su."
Wei Qing nodded.
Doctor Su developed an antidote for the poison, which deprived the poison doctor of his last resort, and he was executed. The other party might also take revenge on Doctor Su.
There was no time to lose, so Wei Qing immediately called Han Yi and asked him to take people to protect Doctor Su.
Han Yi was Wei Qing's most trusted secret guard, so his going would naturally be foolproof. The two of them felt a little more at ease.
Wei Qing also felt like doing something else.
Wei Qing looked at his wife in his arms, gave her a wicked smile, and stole a kiss on her lips.
…
An inn.
The candlelight shone on Zhao Shu's face. It was obviously a handsome face, but because of the gloomy expression, it looked a little scary.
He was holding a letter in his hand, which contained the information about Dr. Su that his men had obtained in the past few days.
This Doctor Su came from Qinzhou City a few months ago.
He was originally a doctor in Qinzhou City. He treated patients and saved lives regardless of their status or wealth. He devoted all his efforts to saving them and was quite famous in the local area.
But the information before that cannot be found.
There are two possibilities. One is that he deliberately concealed his past identity, and the other is that he originally lived in seclusion in the mountains.
From the information we have found, we can only conclude that Doctor Su is a good person and his medical skills are pretty good. However, as to how good his medical skills are, it is unknown.
If he can cure poison, I think his medical skills must be good.
If the medical skills are high enough... then he can use them. If they are not useful to him, then there is no need for such people to live.
Zhao Shu placed the letter on the table, his expression becoming gloomy.
…
The next day.
The Su family pharmacy is full of patients.
After seeing a patient, Doctor Su wrote down a prescription and handed it to Liu Lan beside him.
Liu Lan originally wanted to be A Yu's maid and serve her, but A Yu was determined not to let her serve him and let Liu Lan do what she wanted.
Liu Lan knew that A Yu was doing this for her own good, and she didn't want to let A Yu down.
She had been in that village for so many years, always dealing with herbs and was interested in them, so whenever she had free time, she would come to help Dr. Su and learn some medical skills.
Next to Liu Lan, there was a little kid named Du Xiaobai.
Du Xiaobai has been following Doctor Su for several months.
Her sister said that her younger sister would be very powerful in the future, and by then she would still be a useless little fat ball, and her younger sister would dislike her and not want her. Du Xiaobai was sad in bed for most of the day. He didn't want to be disliked by his younger sister, he wanted to become powerful!
However, he had no talent for studying or martial arts, but he was interested in herbal medicine, so he became a disciple and studied under Doctor Su.
Du Xiaobai was still in the beginner stage, so he just stood aside and watched.
When Liu Lan was preparing the medicine, she would explain it to him, and the little fat boy looked very serious.
Everyone's eyes turned to the door.
I saw a young man in white clothes walking in from outside. He was handsome, gentle and elegant, with the bearing of a noble man.
The young man in white walked up to Doctor Su and greeted him with a bow, "Excuse me, are you Doctor Su?"
Doctor Su nodded: "Exactly. What's the matter?"
The young man in white smiled and said, "Doctor Su, please go ahead and do your work. We'll talk when you're done."
The young man in white sat aside, very patiently.
Doctor Su had a lot of patients, and it took him two hours to see them all, so the young man in white waited for two hours.
The young man in white came forward only after Doctor Su had some time.
"Sir, is there anything I can do for you?" Doctor Su asked.
"Doctor Su, my surname is Zhu, and I come from the capital. To be honest, I came here specifically to seek medical treatment for my father. My father suffered from insomnia a few years ago. He had trouble sleeping every night, his temper became very irritable, he often felt anxious and short of breath, and he became more and more haggard day by day. As a son, I cannot share his pain, which is very uncomfortable. All I can do is to seek medical treatment everywhere. Over the years, I have been to many places, to Mobei, to the south, and visited many doctors, but to no avail. Passing by here, I heard that Doctor Su has excellent medical skills, so I would like to ask Doctor Su to help my father." As he said, he bowed deeply to Doctor Su.
Mr. Zhu's attitude is very sincere and he is a filial person.
"If Doctor Su can cure my father, I will do whatever you ask me to do." Mr. Zhu said again.
Doctor Su had done a lot of research on sleep aids because of his wife's illness.
Doctors are like parents to their patients, so of course their responsibility is to cure diseases and save lives.
Especially when the other person is so filial, it is hard not to be moved.
