Chapter 112 The Divine Doctor is a Madman (52)
The local people all respected him greatly, but this outsider in front of them didn't distinguish between high and low status. He never bowed when they met and never referred to himself as a commoner.
He wouldn't have been so polite if the other party hadn't been truly capable.
"When this matter was reported to the capital, the Emperor was furious upon learning of it and gave them seven days to..."
The magistrate paused here to observe the other person's expression, which remained unchanged.
They don't even respect the Emperor?
"Doctor Shen, can you cure the patient within seven days?"
Shen Yushu turned to look at him, and the coldness in the depths of her phoenix eyes made the magistrate think for a moment that he was seeing things.
Is this the kind of look a doctor with compassion and righteousness, who takes the pain of patients as his own, should have?
The magistrate was a little unsure, so he took another look... and then he was sure he hadn't made a mistake.
A softer approach probably won't work.
He decided to try a different approach.
"Dr. Shen's sister is currently working at Renji Medical Center."
"In recognition of your meritorious rescue and your hard work, this magistrate has specially assigned someone to secretly protect her."
A dark glint flashed in Shen Yushu's eyes. Was this a form of surveillance, an attempt to blackmail him?
"Is Magistrate Zhu putting pressure on me?"
The magistrate chuckled, "Doctor Shen, you misunderstand. I was merely helping you protect your sister."
His smug, smiling expression was a clear indication that what was wrong with a county magistrate pressuring a mere villager?
"Isn't Magistrate Zhu afraid of making things backfire?"
Shen Yushu looked at Magistrate Zhu with considerable disdain, but before the other party could react, a radiant smile suddenly bloomed on his usually aloof face.
Magistrate Zhu's heart sank. "What are you laughing at!"
He then said angrily, "I'm giving you this chance because I care about these patients. If you cure them within seven days, I will definitely report this matter to the court!"
"Doesn't Doctor Shen want to enter the palace, obtain an official position, and treat the imperial family and relatives?"
Most officials love to speak in bureaucratic jargon and are good at making empty promises.
They act superior when asking for favors.
Perhaps Shen Yushu had been too cooperative and easy to talk to before, which gave Magistrate Zhu a certain misconception.
Shen Yushu hated being coerced more than anything in his life.
He nodded slightly, his expression one of cold indifference and disdain. "Does Magistrate Zhu know why I am here?"
Magistrate Zhu smiled smugly, "Of course I've come to check out Renji Medical Clinic."
That's their property.
Shen Yushu's indifferent gaze swept over him, and he kindly explained, "This young master inherited the legacy of his ancestors, and every year he is required to treat thirty patients free of charge during his free clinic."
"There are countless people in the martial world who need my help. The so-called 'destined person' is nothing more than a word from me."
"Since Magistrate Zhu considers the treatment of this plague as an achievement during his tenure, then let's find some doctors who are seeking fame and fortune to treat him."
After saying this, Shen Yushu got up and left.
The free clinic only treated thirty people, but the number of infected people was much higher.
He wouldn't have stayed if it weren't for convenience.
The man frowned in displeasure. He had originally planned to take the girl on a leisurely trip after leaving Renji Medical Clinic, but now it seemed that he had wasted so many days.
What annoyed him even more was that he hadn't spoken to the girl for several days in a row.
Is that Magistrate Zhu?
hehe……
When Magistrate Zhu saw that Shen Yushu was so disrespectful to him, he was immediately filled with rage.
If this is handled well, I will definitely get a promotion, and the other party will be able to enter the palace to meet the emperor.
If he could find someone, would a county magistrate beg for help in such a lowly manner?
Since that's the case, don't blame him for resorting to force!
