Chapter 546: Doctor Su is in trouble
Tang Li and Mrs. Su went to Ci'en Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to ask for a talisman for Doctor Su.
Tangli was four months pregnant, but only slightly showing. Mrs. Su, fearing she would tire her, held her arm and walked very slowly, as if she had been pregnant for ten months, which made Tangli laugh.
"I told you I could come alone, and you..." Mrs. Su continued.
"Sister-in-law, I don't have anything to do. I'm just bored staying at home." Tang Li said.
She is different from other pregnant women.
She is a koi that traveled through time and space. She has magical powers and is blessed by heaven. She has a good physique, so pregnancy is not difficult at all.
After asking for the amulet, the two went back.
When he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he heard that something had happened.
The one who came to report the news was the medicine boy who followed Doctor Su, saying that Doctor Su was being taken to the Dali Temple.
Madam Su and Tang Li had no choice but to rush to the Dali Temple.
The person who brought the news also explained the cause and effect of the matter.
This matter involved an old incident many years ago. About twelve years ago, Doctor Su was still a doctor at Huichuntang...
"I know this story well. There was a patient who came to see me with a very strange condition. No one could cure her, and no one dared to take her in. So they found Taiyuan. He was a man, the breadwinner of his family, and the woman kept begging Taiyuan. Taiyuan wasn't sure, but seeing how pitiful they were, he decided to give it a try."
"Taiyuan was treating the patient while reading medical books. Thanks to Taiyuan's efforts, the patient's symptoms improved day by day. Taiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. But one day, the man suddenly died. His body was carried to the door of Huichun Hall. The woman said that Taiyuan had killed her husband and wanted him to pay for it!"
"Originally, Taiyuan was a famous doctor in the capital, the most powerful physician in Huichuntang. But because of this incident, the news that Taiyuan had killed someone spread quickly throughout the capital. In an instant, Taiyuan went from being a miracle doctor to a mediocre one, despised by countless people."
"This incident also alarmed the Dali Temple, but in the end, the blame was placed on Taiyuan. Taiyuan had no choice but to take me away from the capital."
When Mrs. Su talked about this, her brows were furrowed.
That period of time was a memory she never wanted to touch.
That time was too far away, too depressing, and too hopeless. I even began to doubt my original intention of becoming a doctor.
How can you not doubt it?
He clearly had good intentions and wanted to save the patient. He also warned the woman about the dangers of the treatment. But when he was about to cure the patient, the patient died inexplicably, and he was blamed for it...
If it weren't for her, I might not have been able to make it this far.
I never thought that after twelve years, this matter would be brought up again.
"Taiyuan and Huichuntang compensated the woman a large sum of money. The matter has been resolved, so why is it brought up again?" Mrs. Su frowned, feeling that something was amiss.
As they were talking, the carriage had already stopped at the gate of Dali Temple.
Mrs. Su helped Tang Li get off the carriage and heard a burst of crying.
"Sir, please do something for me! This quack doctor killed my husband and took a life. My husband has turned into bones, but this quack doctor is still fine and is going to work as a doctor in the Imperial Hospital!" a woman wailed.
The woman was about forty years old, and she was accompanied by a young man in his twenties.
The young man held Doctor Su tightly, as if he was afraid that he would run away.
Doctor Su looked very unhappy.
Tang Li frowned as he listened to the woman's words, vaguely feeling that this matter was related to Doctor Su being selected by the Imperial Hospital to be the imperial physician.
"Too far!" Mrs. Su shouted.
Doctor Su turned around and saw Doctor Su and Tang Li, with a comforting expression on his face.
"I'm fine."
The woman kept wailing.
"Twelve years ago, he killed my husband and was kicked out of Huichuntang. Now he's back, intending to harm more people!"
"Sir, we can't let him harm anyone anymore!"
It soon attracted a lot of onlookers.
Some older people started to think about it.
"It was that quack from Huichuntang. I remember him. He killed a patient. The patient bled from all seven orifices. It was so tragic!"
"How could such a mediocre doctor be admitted to the Imperial Hospital? Doesn't the Imperial Hospital check the background of its candidates?"
"This quack doctor can't be allowed to continue harming people!"
"He even prescribed me some medicine, but it made me feel even worse, so I threw it away! Luckily, I threw it away, otherwise I would have ended up like the patient who died!"
Those people pointed at Dr. Su.
Mrs. Su walked over and stood with Doctor Su, enduring the insults together.
Among the crowd of onlookers, there stood a middle-aged man. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but smile and turned away.
A man in official robes walked out of the Dali Temple.
"Sir, you must do something for me!" the woman knelt and begged.
"Sir, my husband was wrongly accused. He did not kill anyone. Please investigate thoroughly!" Mrs. Su also knelt down and said.
"The Dali Temple found out that it was this quack doctor who killed my husband. Are you saying that the Dali Temple made a wrong judgment?" the woman said.
"That's not what I meant. It's just that there are so many cases that no matter how carefully we investigate, there will always be false and wrongful convictions," Mrs. Su said quickly.
"The Dali Temple will re-investigate this case and will definitely get to the bottom of it. Everyone, please go back first." The Dali Temple official looked at Doctor Su and said, "You will stay at the Dali Temple for the time being."
Mrs. Su wanted to speak, but Doctor Su patted her hands to stop her.
"Mr. Su is willing to cooperate with the Dali Temple's investigation." Doctor Su said respectfully.
Tang Li also came over and grabbed Mrs. Su's arm.
Mrs. Su didn't say anything.
Doctor Su was taken to the Dali Temple.
The others also left one after another.
"Sister-in-law, Doctor Su was wronged and has a bad reputation. This may be an opportunity to clear Doctor Su's grievances." Tang Li said.
"But...rumors can melt metal. The truth that couldn't be uncovered twelve years ago, how can it be uncovered after such a long time?" Mrs. Su still felt uneasy.
"Sister-in-law, believe in the Dali Temple and believe in the Dali Temple Chief. My brother is very capable, not like those fools before." Tang Li said.
After Tang Li said this, Mrs. Su felt a little relieved.
After the woman who sued Dr. Su left, she walked into a small alley, wiped away her tears, and there was no sadness on her face.
She entered a room, the door closed, and she could hear muffled voices from inside.
"Here are five hundred taels of silver. You have done well."
"As long as we firmly believe that it was Su Taiyuan who did it, that's enough. No matter how powerful the Dali Temple is, they won't be able to investigate this case from twelve years ago..."
After a while, the woman came out, looking like she was holding something in her arms, very cautiously.
Not long after the woman left, a middle-aged man came out.
If Su Taiyuan were here, he would be able to recognize this person. Twelve years ago, they were both doctors in Huichuntang. Now, this person works in the Imperial Hospital.
