Damn, the acting is pretty good.
Because Jian Ning had woken up early and was on guard, he thought the old man was just acting and continued to hold the young boy's wrist, not giving him a chance to break free.
"Grandpa! Grandpa!" The young boy struggled hard for a few times, but his wrist felt like it was stuck in an iron hoop. He glared at Jian Ning and said angrily, "Let me go! What did you do to my grandpa, you evil woman? If anything happens to my grandpa, I won't let you go!"
"Let me go! Master! Are you okay? Woo woo..." He glanced at the old man a few times, grinned and howled without a single tear, obviously pretending to cry.
"Tell me, who ordered you to cause trouble?" Jane Ning put a little more strength on her hand, and the young boy immediately cried out "Ouch, ouch".
This time I really cried, and cried in pain.
"Madam!" Ding Youtian suddenly shouted loudly.
He squatted beside the old man, with blood on his thumb and index finger. He thought that the blood spurting out of the old man's mouth and nose was fake, and that he had used a pill with the same effect as the Ningbi Dan that Blind Liu had given him before. However, after checking, this was not the case.
"He seems really dead."
"What? Impossible!" The young boy lowered his head and bit Jian Ning's arm. Jian Ning pushed him away. He staggered back a few steps and before he could stand firm, he had already pounced on the old man.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me, wake up quickly, Grandpa!"
The young boy's shouts grew louder and louder. Jian Ning put on gloves and was about to go forward to check when a commotion came from outside the clinic. Then Wu Fengfu and several yamen runners rushed in. He was still standing outside the door, not entering, when he shouted, "This is terrible! Someone's died in the clinic! Arrest them!"
He pointed at Jian Ning and gave the order.
Several yamen runners pounced on Jian Ning like wolves and tigers.
"Wait!" Ding Youtian held up his hands to block them, then looked at Wu Fengfu gravely and said, "You haven't even done any tests, so how can you say with such certainty that someone is dead? And how can you be so sure that it was my wife who killed her with her medical treatment?"
Wu Fengfu was speechless for a moment. He stood at the door of the clinic, glanced at the old man lying on the ground, and then said, "This old man was fine when he came in, but now he has collapsed in the clinic. Your wife is a doctor in the clinic, so she can't escape responsibility in any way!"
"As for whether the person is dead or not, and whether it was your wife who killed him, we'll know after we take him back and interrogate him."
"Catch her for me!"
Ding Youtian was furious. He picked up a chair and held it across his chest. "Let's see who dares to move! Is there still law and order?"
He was tall and because he was afraid of the cold, he wore a black cloak, which made him look even taller. In addition, he had a handsome face, so when he got angry, he became even more awe-inspiring.
Several yamen runners were really frightened and didn't dare to step forward.
Ding Yang and Ding Jian also rushed over dragging hoes and pickaxes, one on the left and one on the right, staring at Wu Fengfu with fierce eyes.
It looked as if if he dared to give the order to arrest anyone, the two brothers would use hoes and pickaxes to dig out his head.
Guoguo and Maoqiu also rushed in one after another. Guoguo stood upright beside Ding Youtian, staring coldly at the several yamen runners who were approaching Ding Youtian.
"Sister Jian, do you want to call Brother Qiu over? He wanted to come, but I stopped him." Tian poked her head out of the clinic and shouted.
"No, you all go back to work."
"Ding Yang, Ding Jian, and Guo Guo, all leave. I'll be fine, don't worry."
Guoguo didn't dare to act rashly because he was taught a lesson by Jian Ning last time he caught Xia Tu Yidao, otherwise he would have dealt with those yamen runners long ago.
It turned its head to look at Jian Ning, bared its teeth at the yamen runners, and reluctantly followed Ding Yang, Ding Jian and Tian back to the yard.
Maoqiu was not called out, so when Guoguo moved, it moved too. Perhaps it then remembered that it was not called out, so it let out its beautiful fox tail and lay down at Ding Youtian's feet again, showing its fangs at a few yamen runners in an imitation of its own power.
But the next second, Jane Ning picked it up and threw it out. She just forgot to call the little guy's name, and she didn't expect it to stay so unconsciously.
After clapping his hands, Jian Ning put his hands in his pockets, looked at Wu Fengfu, and said sarcastically, "You shouldn't be a clerk. You should be setting up a fortune-telling stall. As soon as I got into trouble, you brought people here. It seems you are good at fortune-telling. You predicted that I would be in trouble and came here at the right time."
Ding Youtian, still holding onto his chair, sneered, "Being a clerk is such a waste of your talent. You should be the Supreme Court Justice. It's such a shame that such a talent is buried in this rural town!"
Wu Fengfu snorted lightly and raised his hand to flick his double-breasted beige cashmere jacket. There were no flying catkins in this season, so he was just pretending to show off.
This short jacket was given to him yesterday by Ding Zhu's fifth uncle. It's called Feng Qingzi, and it's not cheap. The town lord went to the county yamen again early this morning, and Constable He had been transferred there earlier. He's the most senior official in the town yamen, and everyone under him listens to him because he's the town lord's brother-in-law.
Since he accepted benefits from Feng Qingzi, he naturally had to do things for Feng Qingzi.
"Tsk tsk, no matter how eloquent you are, it's useless. Dingjia Village is my concubine's hometown. I accompanied her to visit her parents' home. It just so happens that I have caught a cold recently. I originally wanted to go to the doctor and get some medicine, but I didn't expect to run into this."
"As a clerk in the local government office, if something goes wrong in your clinic, am I wrong to order the doctor to be taken back for trial? I advise you to be sensible. This way, no one will be embarrassed and no one will start a fight. If you are upright, why would you be afraid of your own shadow?"
He said, shaking his head, and shouted at the yamen runners, "What are you still standing there for? Catch them!"
"Wait!" This time it was the young boy who spoke up to stop him. He seemed to know some medical skills. He took the old man's pulse and put his ears to his chest to listen to his heartbeat. With tears in his eyes, he looked at Jian Ning and said, "Doctor, I beg you to take a look at my grandfather. My grandfather's heart seems to have stopped beating. Please take a look at my grandfather quickly, wuwu..."
He burst into tears.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wu Fengfu glared and cursed, "Those who deserve to die can't live, and those who don't deserve to die can't die either. Bring them all back to the government office. If you want to see them, go back to the government office and see them!"
"How ridiculous! You seemed to have concluded that the old man was beyond saving. If he had still been breathing, he could have been saved. But because you insisted on taking him back to the yamen to wait and see, you delayed him and ultimately he could not be saved. Can you bear the consequences of this crime?"
Ding Youtian raised his head and spoke coldly.
Wu Fengfu looked him in the eye and chuckled twice, "If that's the case, I'll take full responsibility for all the consequences."
"You guys, don't you want to work in the government office anymore? If you don't do it now, you won't have to come tomorrow!"
Hearing this, several yamen runners, feeling the prospect of losing their jobs, rolled up their sleeves and bravely went to arrest Jian Ning. At the same time, Ding Youtian raised the chair high in his hand.
