Chapter 276: Discovering the Account Book of Shopkeeper Xiong
Xiong Yan shouted angrily, "You're alone, and you dare to make a move? Humph, don't think I'll be scared just because you bring up the county magistrate!"
Lin Xiaoyue raised the corners of her mouth high, snapped her fingers behind her, and shouted loudly: "Captain Yang, this man spoke rudely to the county magistrate. I suspect he has evil intentions!"
In the blink of an eye, Captain Yang rushed in with his men and started to tie Xiong Yan up, "Follow me!"
Xiong Yan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said in disbelief: "You, when did you call the constable? How can you be so vicious, woman!"
In fact, it was just a coincidence that Lin Xiaoyue met Captain Yang. At that time, the old woman had just entered Xiong Yan's pharmacy to buy medicine. Lin Xiaoyue was afraid that Xiong Yan would not be willing to sell the medicine to the old woman, so she thought of asking the government to intervene.
Because Captain Yang knew Lin Xiaoyue and knew that Lin Xiaoyue and Liang Jingyao had a close relationship, even if he refused, Lin Xiaoyue would talk to the county magistrate about it later, and the county magistrate would give him face and agree. So instead of being blamed by the county magistrate in the end, it would be better to agree now.
So Captain Yang hid outside the pharmacy and waited until Lin Xiaoyue's voice was heard before he appeared.
"How dare you! Who are you? Do you think you can slander Miss Lin? If you keep talking nonsense, you'll get whipped by me!" As he spoke, Captain Yang had already pulled out the whip from his waist, and was about to whip Xiong Yan.
Xiong Yan cursed angrily: "You dog officials only know how to bully the people. You will not have a good end!"
Captain Yang was too lazy to waste time talking to him. He lowered the whip in his hand high up and landed directly on Xiong Yan with a "snap" sound. He shouted sternly: "Shut his mouth and take him away!"
The other constables quickly took out a cloth strip to cover Xiong Yan's mouth, and then dragged him out.
Lin Xiaoyue quickly called out to Captain Yang and said, "Captain Yang, don't forget to get this Shopkeeper Xiong's account book."
Captain Yang stopped and said with a smile, "Look at my memory. I'll search it now."
Lin Xiaoyue followed him and said, "Let me help you look for it. This shopkeeper Xiong is quite remarkable. I saw the same ornaments on his counter as the ones at Fengshou Grain Shop. You must ask the county magistrate to investigate thoroughly."
Constable Yang's eyes fell on the ornament and he said, "I see. Thank you, Miss Lin, for reminding me."
Just as Constable Yang was about to pick up the ornament, it seemed as if he touched a mechanism, and a box popped out from the base under the ornament, with a notebook inside.
Lin Xiaoyue picked it up and looked at it, then said in surprise, "Constable Yang, this is an account book. There must be something wrong with it being hidden so secretly. Hurry and take it back to show it to the county magistrate!"
Constable Yang nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll be right there. Here's the seal, Miss Lin, please help me put it on. I'll be leaving first."
Lin Xiaoyue was secretly delighted. It seemed that Constable Yang was going to turn a blind eye and not care what she did!
"Okay, I'll stick it on." Lin Xiaoyue took the seal and agreed.
After Constable Yang left, Lin Xiaoyue walked up to the old woman and said, "Thank you for helping me, Auntie. I'll take you to see my father now. He's a doctor with good medical skills."
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue had done what she said, the old woman said happily, "That's great! You are such a kind person, thank you!"
When Lin Xiaoyue was about to reach the tent where the old drunkard was seeing patients, she waved at him and shouted, "Dad, I'm back!"
The drunkard thought Lin Xiaoyue had successfully bought the herbs, and asked curiously, "Girl, you walked for so long, did you really buy any herbs?"
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said, "I didn't buy it yet, but it's almost there. This lady's son is seriously ill. Can you help her take a look? We can talk about other things later."
The drunkard looked at the old woman beside Lin Xiaoyue and asked, "Sister, where do you live? I have wounded people coming here at any time, and I can't leave for the time being. Sister, can you bring your son over? Don't worry, you are brought here by my girl, I won't charge you any money."
The old woman lamented, "I can't carry him anymore! Big brother, please be kind and go see my son!"
Jiu Laoguai was a bit embarrassed. He didn't know how Liang Jingyao was doing. Would he be needed there? But Lin Xiaoyue must have had her own reasons for bringing the old woman here. It was just that the timing was so unfortunate!
"Girl, what do you think we should do about this?" The drunkard looked at Lin Xiaoyue for help.
Lin Xiaoyue thought for a moment and said, "Dad, you wait here. I'll ask someone to bring Auntie's son back. Auntie, is this okay?"
This time the old woman did not refuse and said happily: "Girl, you are such a kind person, thank you so much!"
So, Lin Xiaoyue asked Chen Hu for four people and followed the old woman to her house.
The old woman's home was at the westernmost part of Yangming Town, where most of the people living were poor. When Lin Xiaoyue and her companions arrived, several neighbors poked their heads out, their eyes wide open with curiosity.
Someone couldn't contain their curiosity and asked, "Zhong'er's mother, where did you find these people? Could it be that Zhong'er won't make it through today?"
When the old woman heard the slander against her son, her face instantly turned cold and she cursed, "Bah! Your son won't survive today! My loyal son will definitely live a hundred years!"
Lin Xiaoyue was in a hurry to go back and ignored the quarrel between the old woman and her neighbor. She led people directly into the yard.
The old woman's house was very simple, with two rooms in the yard. Lin Xiaoyue guessed that the old woman's son lived in the west wing, but she was an unmarried girl, so she waited outside and let the four Cheetah Soldiers go in to take a look.
Just as Lin Xiaoyue had guessed, when the four Cheetah soldiers appeared again, they had a bed board in the middle of them, on which lay a thin man with his eyes closed. It was unknown whether he was asleep or unconscious?
"Miss Lin, the person has been found!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back!"
When she walked outside, the old woman saw Lin Xiaoyue and others carrying her son out. She said shamefully, "I'm sorry, I was so busy scolding those bastards that I forgot to bring you in."
Lin Xiaoyue understood the old woman's protectiveness and shook her head, saying, "It's okay. Those people deserve to be scolded for saying that about your son! Okay, let's go now so as not to delay his treatment."
The old woman nodded repeatedly and replied, "Okay, thank you young lady!"
When the drunkard saw the old woman's son, he was shocked. How could this man look so much like his deceased son? If the old woman hadn't kept calling him "my son", the drunkard would have thought his son was resurrected!
Maybe because they looked so similar, Jiu Laoguai became extremely serious and all his attention was focused on the young man in front of him.
"Sister, why is your son sick? How long has he been sick? What medicine has he taken?"
