Chapter 1424
Just when they were terrified, the soldiers from Jingzhao Prefecture finally arrived. They didn't come too late, because only a quarter of an hour had passed since the wheel broke.
They ran over and surrounded the scene. When they saw Zhou Man standing on the shaft of the carriage, their hearts sank. When they looked at the carriage she was sitting in, their hearts trembled even more.
Zhou Man was a celebrity in the capital, and the officers and soldiers of Jingzhao Prefecture certainly recognized her. Moreover, she had a good relationship with the young master and had experienced an assassination attempt before. Everyone in Jingzhao Prefecture, from the Jingzhao Yin to the yamen runners, knew her.
When the captain came over and saw what she was holding, even if he had been on the battlefield, his heart trembled. He asked in a deep voice, "Doctor Zhou, what are you holding in your hand?"
"I don't know who threw something in my car," Manbao said through gritted teeth, "What? You want to scare me? You're dreaming! I'm telling you, if no one claims it, I'm going to take it back and eat it!"
Everyone: ...
Doctor Ding was the first to come to his senses. He patted his chest and asked Manbao, "What kind of heart, liver, and kidney is this?"
"Pig." Manbao was also a little depressed. Since he was threatening her, why didn't he use something more expensive? Even if he couldn't have a cow's heart, liver, and kidneys, he should at least have a sheep's, right?
She jumped off the cart, picked up the medicine box, and said, "Let's go back and treat his injuries first."
The captain of the Jingzhao Prefecture quickly stopped Manbao to ask him questions, and Doctor Ding said, "Leave him to us. You can handle the matters here first."
Then they asked people to carry the person on the door panel away, and Zheng Gu and Dr. Liu stayed to accompany Manbao.
The doctor from Jishidiang left, and the doctors from other clinics thought about it and finally discussed it. The loser was forced to go back to the clinic, and the rest stayed to watch the fun.
The captain was relieved when he heard that it was a pig's heart, liver and kidneys, and then he took people to clean up the scene of the accident.
Ask what needs to be asked, investigate what needs to be investigated, and of course, mediate between the two parties involved in the accident.
Not only him, but Manbao also knew that she was being plotted against, and they didn't know who the perpetrator was.
But in the eyes of the world, it was her carriage that crashed into the store, so what else could she do? Naturally, she could only pay for it herself.
Manbao apologized to the store owner very apologetically. After confirming the loss, both parties agreed on the compensation amount. Manbao then wrote him the address and asked him to come to his house to pick it up the next day.
Because someone from Jingzhao Prefecture was present, the store owner was not afraid that she would default on her debt. Besides, Jishidiang was not far from here, and he also knew Manbao.
Manbao signed a written agreement with the victims, then stared at the captains, saying, "You must find out who did this."
In just a short while, she paid forty-eight taels, almost ten months' salary.
Thinking of the driver still lying there, and not knowing how badly he was injured, Manbao became even angrier. She said angrily, "Catch him and let him experience the feeling of being dragged by a horse."
The captain smiled and said, no matter what happens in the future, he has agreed to it now.
Zheng Gu thought she was talking like a child, so he stepped forward to negotiate with the officers and soldiers on her behalf.
Doctor Liu helped Manbao sit aside and asked, "Master, are you injured?"
Manbao had just checked himself. Although it hurt a lot, he was not seriously injured. At most, there were some bruises on his body, most likely contusions.
After dealing with this, Manbao and Zheng Gu and others returned to Jishiditang. Doctor Ding was still treating the driver's injuries, so Doctor Tao examined Manbao and nodded, saying, "It's okay. Use the ointment in our store. It will be healed in two or three days."
San Ya, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief. She had just been identifying medicinal herbs in the backyard, and she took the hustle and bustle outside to heart. After all, the pharmacy would be bustling from time to time, and there would occasionally be patients or their families crying, so she was used to it.
As a result, the third senior brother suddenly ran in from outside in a panic, saying that the young aunt's carriage had an accident. When she ran out, she saw the young aunt being helped into the door by the second senior sister. There was a lot of blood on her clothes, and she was shocked.
It was Manbao who said, "This is pig blood!"
San Ya finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Manbao took the ointment, washed his hands, and went into the clinic to see the driver.
Doctor Ding was very skillful. He not only gave him medicine but also reconnected his leg.
Seeing Manbao come in, he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not serious. I touched it and found that only one leg was broken, but it seems that the ribs are also broken, or it may be just a fracture. Fortunately, it didn't sink, and the internal organs are fine."
Manbao frowned and said nothing, but the coachman lying on the bed breathed a sigh of relief. Although his face turned pale, he felt that his stomachache was gone.
You know, he had been having a dull pain in his stomach ever since he left the palace, and he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back and urinate.
Manbao looked at his face, felt his pulse, and nodded to Doctor Ding, "Thank you, Doctor Ding."
Doctor Ding smiled and said, "You're welcome."
He washed his hands and said to Manbao, "Doctor Zhou, let him rest for a while. Shall we go out and sit for a while?"
Manbao nodded and went out with Doctor Ding. She asked, "Did you hit your head?"
Doctor Ding shook his head. "He said no. I checked and there was a big bump on his forehead, but he doesn't have any dizziness issues, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
As a doctor, the most feared aspects of impact injuries are head injuries and internal bleeding.
Generally speaking, as long as these two are not a problem, the others are minor problems. Even a limp or a broken hand is not a big deal in the eyes of doctors.
Manager Zheng had asked someone to make her a bowl of calming soup. Although Manbao felt that she didn't need it, she still drank it.
Then the doctors sat together and sighed. Doctor Ding and others did not dare to ask the whole story. They had just checked the coachman and found that he was a eunuch, so they knew that he came from the palace.
Obviously, Manbao had just come out of the palace.
Then we can't ask why she was in danger.
Others may not ask, but Manager Zheng couldn't help it, mainly because their family had a close relationship with the palace, and Manbao also had a close relationship with Jishidiang.
After everyone left, he lowered his voice and asked, "His Royal Highness's illness..."
Manbao glanced at him and said, "It's getting better."
It was the same rhetoric as before, but considering what happened today, Manager Zheng sighed and said, "They can't help it."
Manbao rubbed her bruised arm without saying anything. After a while, she stood up and went out. She found the bag that had been thrown in her arms, opened it, and took out the pig kidneys and liver. She handed them to Zhou Liru and said, "Simmer them for the driver."
Zhou Liru took it and confirmed, "...Auntie, can you let me stew it?"
She was not afraid of this. Her family had eaten pig kidneys and livers before. What was so scary about it?
The main thing is that she was afraid that people wouldn’t be able to eat the food she made, so wouldn’t that be a waste?
Manbao also doubted her cooking skills for a moment, but after thinking about it, he decided to take over and do it himself.
Manager Zheng, Doctor Ding and others watched her squatting in the backyard, washing the pig kidneys and liver, chopping them and throwing them into the jar, then picking up two medicinal herbs, throwing them in and simmering them on the fire.
Everyone: ...
