Chapter 778: The evil deeds done in this life will be repaid in the next life
These words made Jiang Wan, who was about to leave, pause slightly. From the sound of it, this matter was not done by the county magistrate?
"Uncle Zhou, you... ahem... what do you mean by that?"
"Master, you don't know that during the time you were ill, my wife and uncle used your name to bully people in the county and various towns.
They said they were collecting food and fodder for the soldiers at the border, but they took things from the shop for free!"
"presumptuous!"
The county magistrate was so angry that he fainted. Jiang Wan lifted a brick from the roof and looked over.
I saw a very haggard middle-aged man lying on the couch. His face was pale and he fainted from anger.
The housekeeper was so frightened that he hurried to call the court doctor.
There was chaos below. Jiang Wan hid herself. After a while, she saw a plump woman leading the way in.
The woman was wearing gold and silver, and there was a pride in her eyes that no one else had.
"How is the master?"
Mrs. Wang had a dull expression, as if the person lying on the couch was not her pillow, but a stranger.
"Madam, the master is now terminally ill, and I can only stabilize his condition. I'm afraid..."
The court doctor hesitated, which made Madam Wang impatient. "What are you afraid of?"
"The master has had a stroke. Even if he wakes up, I'm afraid he won't be able to walk well, and he won't have much time left."
The court doctor sighed in embarrassment, and Madam Wang frowned, "How much time is left?"
Her tone was very calm. Jiang Wan couldn't help but shake her head. It seemed that the couple had probably grown apart a long time ago.
"A month at most."
The court doctor explained in a low voice, "This will require many rare medicinal herbs to keep the master alive."
"No matter what, keep the old man alive and don't let him die."
Mrs. Wang actually didn’t care whether County Magistrate Wang lived or died, but if he died, some things would become difficult to handle.
So he must be kept alive.
"I will do my best."
The court doctor was an official, and he carefully gave Magistrate Wang an acupuncture injection and asked someone to get medicine.
Just when Jiang Wan was about to lose patience and leave, County Magistrate Wang finally woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he met Mrs. Wang's face in front of him, and he was immediately so angry that his mouth was crooked and his eyes were squinting.
“You…you…”
"Master, your current physical condition does not allow you to be so excited. You'd better stop teaching me."
Mrs. Wang sat leisurely at the table, picked up the kettle beside her and poured herself a cup of tea.
She drank slowly, "I know what you want to ask, it's not me who is hurting your reputation.
But I have no other choice now. If there is an afterlife, I will come back to pay for my sins!"
After saying this, she ignored Magistrate Wang, put down her teacup, turned around and left the room.
Fearing that Magistrate Wang's health condition would be exposed, she transferred all the people from Magistrate Wang's yard away.
There was only an old housekeeper and a servant taking care of County Magistrate Wang.
"You go and make some medicine for the master, and I'll make some liquid food for him."
The old butler sighed, and left with the servant, leaving County Magistrate Wang alone, lying on the couch with his eyes wide open, feeling angry and helpless.
Jiang Wan sighed and looked for an opportunity to break into County Magistrate Wang's house.
Seeing a stranger coming in, Magistrate Wang opened his mouth to call for help, but unfortunately Jiang Wan's silver needle was faster.
She sealed Magistrate Wang's acupoint with a needle and made a hushing gesture.
"Shh..."
Who are you?
County Magistrate Wang stared at Jiang Wan with his eyes wide open. Jiang Wan naturally knew what he meant. She couldn't help but sigh as she saw County Magistrate Wang's inability to walk.
"Do you want to stand up?"
County Magistrate Wang nodded frantically. Of course he wanted to stand up and get rid of that crazy woman as soon as possible.
"I will do my best to help you recover, and you must cooperate with me then."
Jiang Wan’s words left County Magistrate Wang stunned. Perhaps it was because his wife was too scary, and he was somewhat afraid of women.
"Don't worry, I won't let you do anything bad. I just want to find out the truth about your wife using your name to collect money and property."
Jiang Wan noticed with her sharp eyes that there was a hint of pity in Magistrate Wang's eyes, and her hand holding the silver needle paused slightly.
"Are you reluctant to do this?"
Magistrate Wang closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened them again, his expression became firmer.
He opened his mouth with difficulty, "I...promise."
"OK."
Jiang Wan's fingertips fell on Magistrate Wang's pulse and her brows slightly frowned. This disease is indeed difficult to cure.
However, she could let County Magistrate Wang recover a little first, so that at least they could communicate normally.
Then I will recuperate slowly. Thinking of this, Jiang Wan took out a jade bottle from the space under the cover of her sleeve and poured a pill into County Magistrate Wang's mouth.
Without giving him a chance to react, he quickly inserted the needle again.
"Don't move, I'll go change the medicine."
Jiang Wan had already been there, and the servant who was making the medicine was under the eaves next to her. She first went into the space to write a prescription and then got the medicine.
Then he put the medicine bag and clean water into a clay pot according to the proportion, and saw the servant was boiling the medicine seriously.
Jiang Wan thought about it and made a noise outside. When the servant got up and ran out of the yard in confusion, Jiang Wan quickly walked to the medicine jar.
It was a little hot, so Jiang Wan took out a medicine jar wrapped in cotton cloth from the space, poured out the medicine in the jar, and poured in the medicine she had prepared.
When she heard footsteps again, she added a handful of firewood to the stove, then used her special powers to quickly disappear.
"Hey, why do I feel like the smell of medicine is stronger?"
The servant didn't know any medicine, and he was a little confused, but he didn't think much about it. He just thought it was the effect of the medicine and didn't know about Jiang Wan's little trick.
At this time, Jiang Wan had already returned to Magistrate Wang's room. It was also time to stop the acupuncture, so she started the acupuncture quickly.
County Magistrate Wang, who had just looked sick and dying, now looked more energetic.
"Excuse me... who are you?"
County Magistrate Wang was surprised to find that he could speak. He thought he had met a miracle doctor!
"Kyoto native."
Jiang Wan gave a mysterious answer, "Let me ask you, the people from the county government are in Kyoto under the pretext of sending warmth to the soldiers at the border.
Are you aware of the fact that they are collecting a lot of money to buy winter equipment?"
"I just found out."
County Magistrate Wang closed his eyes in pain, his expression slightly distorted, "That vicious woman..."
"Why would she do that?"
Jiang Wan had a hunch that this was the crux of the matter. It couldn't be because of a lack of money, right?
There's no need to be so blatant. Such arrogance gives people a sense of impatience.
"I... don't know yet."
Magistrate Wang was so ashamed that his mouth twisted when he spoke and it was obvious that he had difficulty in making sense.
There were footsteps outside again. The sound didn't sound like that of the servant, but obviously the butler.
Jiang Wan thought of Song Jiuyuan who was still waiting for her, and said irritably, "Don't reveal the fact that your health has improved yet. I will come to find you later."
She flew onto the beam at the door before the old butler came in, and as soon as the old butler came in, she flashed out of the room.
The county magistrate's mansion was still somewhat quiet. Jiang Wan thought of Madam Wang and wanted to find out some information.
However, she was worried that Song Jiuyuan would look for her, so she had to return the same way.
