Chapter 239 You'd better pray that he is pretending
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but look over, and saw a little girl of four or five years old clinging to a person lying on the ground and crying.
"Daddy, wake up."
A man in elegant clothes on the side said arrogantly, "The scammer hit me. What kind of noble person is this? He fell down after being hit? Could he be made of paper?"
Ji Yunshu frowned. Zhao Shen pulled her out of the carriage and walked closer. Seeing Chen You watching the excitement in the crowd, he asked, "What's going on?"
Chen You was a little frightened when he saw him. This matter was also under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor, so he replied, "It seems that the young master of the Wang family had a conflict with the scholar. Then the young master of the Wang family pushed the scholar, and the scholar fell headfirst and couldn't get up. I just got here, so I don't know the details of what happened."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but glance at Chen You. His words sounded like he was stating the facts, but they were clearly siding with the domineering Prince Wang.
He fainted after being pushed, and it sounded like he was trying to scam me.
But Ji Yunshu had also seen this scholar before, and he should not be such a person.
It was the father and daughter she met when she went to Xishi a few years ago. She gave the little girl a string of candied haws. The father waited for a long time and gave her money when they turned back.
How could someone who wouldn't even take advantage of a string of candied haws come and try to scam you?
At this moment, the man fainted on the ground and there was blood on the back of his head.
Ji Yunshu said to Bai Ling, "Go and take a look."
With so many people watching, many of them thought that the scholar was trying to scam him, and some people were grumbling in their hearts. After all, his head was bleeding and it looked quite serious, but because Young Master Wang was there, no one dared to interfere.
Seeing her maid go to check on the person, Wang Xu muttered, "Sister Yunshu, I just pushed him lightly, I didn't use any force at all, how could I have pushed him down? He just wanted to blackmail me."
Although he called Ji Yunshu, his eyes were looking in the direction of Zhao Shen, and it was obvious that his words were addressed to Zhao Shen.
Ji Yunshu held his forehead with his hand. Among the people of similar age in the capital, none of them were not afraid of Zhao Shen, especially those who were uneducated.
This Prince Wang was none other than the Queen's younger brother and the youngest son of Lady Wang.
The Wang family is a family of scholars. Old Master Wang was the teacher of the late emperor, a true imperial tutor. The Wang family is noble and prominent, and Young Master Wang has been a powerful figure in the capital since he was a child.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but start to have conspiracy theories. Just as a new Concubine Yi appeared in the palace, the Empress Dowager's brother got into trouble. Is there really no connection between them?
Bai Ling felt the man's pulse and his face looked unsatisfactory: "This young man's pulse is not very good. Let's send him to the hospital first."
Seeing that she didn't explain in detail, Ji Yunshu knew that things might be a little troublesome, and she glanced at Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen turned to look at Wang Xu. Wang Xu was usually arrogant and domineering, but he was not stupid. He knew that something was not right, so he quickly asked the people around him to send the man to the clinic.
But the little girl held on to her father and refused to let go, crying, "You bad people, don't touch my daddy."
Seeing this, Ji Yunshu walked over to the little girl and squatted down: "Do you still remember me?"
The little girl's face was red from tears and she nodded with red eyes.
In a place like Xishi, there are very few powerful people. Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen are both outstanding in appearance and extremely eye-catching. They also gave her a string of candied haws. How could she forget?
The little girl choked up and said, "It was my sister who gave me the candied haws."
Ji Yunshu said, "Your father is injured and needs to be sent to the clinic as soon as possible. You also want your father to wake up, right?"
The little girl nodded with tears in her eyes.
Ji Yunshu took her hand and said, "I'll go with you."
Several people went to the clinic together, and on the way Wang Xu told the whole story.
"I came back from outside the city and saw this scholar holding a pot of rare black orchids. I wanted to send it to the palace to show my sister, but he refused to sell it no matter what I said. I got angry and pushed him, and he fell to the ground and never got up again."
"I really didn't use much strength, Prince Zhao. You know I'm not a martial artist, so how much strength do I have? How could I push a man down in one go? You can't help him blackmail me."
Zhao Shen glanced at him sideways: "Does the Queen like Molan?"
Wang Xu was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something. He looked around and lowered his voice, "Few people know about this. I also heard it from my grandmother. My sister's favorite flower is the black orchid, but she hasn't raised any black orchids since entering the palace."
Ji Yunshu listened silently on the side. There were gardeners in the palace who specialized in cultivating rare varieties of flowers, but in all these years, she had never heard that the Queen liked black orchids.
I'm afraid even the emperor doesn't know about this.
Zhao Shen nodded: "Let's go to the clinic first to see how serious his injuries are."
Wang Xu scratched the back of his head: "You're not pretending?"
Zhao Shen said calmly, "You'd better pray that he's pretending."
When Wang Xu heard his words, he felt a chill down his spine.
I realized belatedly that things weren't that simple.
When they arrived at the clinic and heard the doctor's diagnosis that the man had hit the back of his head and was seriously injured, Wang Xu immediately cried out to Zhao Shen: "This is impossible! I just gave him a light push, how could it be so serious?"
Seeing that he was at a loss, Ji Yunshu couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic. This silly kid still didn't understand that he had been tricked.
But was the person who cheated him really this scholar?
She told the doctor to do his best to cure the patient, then took the little girl to another room and asked, "What are you and your father doing here with flowers?"
The little girl cried and shook her head: "I don't know."
Ji Yunshu sighed. This girl is too young, and adult matters should not be told to her.
"Just stay here and I'll have the doctor treat your father's injuries. Don't worry."
The doctor was treating the wound, which was bloody. Ji Yunshu didn't want the children to see that scene.
The little girl was frightened to begin with, but she calmed down a little after seeing Ji Yunshu.
She nodded obediently.
Ji Yunshu left Lu Ru to take care of her.
When he went out again, he saw that the doctor had already cleaned the blood on the back of the scholar's head and was giving him acupuncture.
Ji Yunshu asked Bai Ling: "How is it?"
Bai Ling shook his head: "The brain is different from other parts of the body, especially the back of the head. If it's mild, it might be fine after a few days of rest. But if it's severe, it could be fatal."
Wang Xu was already stunned at this moment. He didn't expect that just a push would lead to such consequences.
This was a scholar, most likely a candidate for the imperial examination. He pushed someone down in public. If this person died...
He couldn't even imagine the consequences.
Seeing his frightened face pale, Ji Yunshu asked, "Have you sent a letter home?"
Ever since Zhao Shen came, Wang Xu's brain has been at a standstill. How could he have thought of this?
Ji Yunshu was helpless: "If this is just a coincidence, it's fine. But if someone is pushing it, guess what he's going to do next?"
