Yu Fuling approached and saw that his already cold face was even colder at this moment. There was a chill in his eyes. He was still looking at the direction where the Liu family carriage left. Yu Fuling couldn't help but feel a little worried and called softly, "Little brother, shall we go back too?"
Yu Qizhe responded in a low voice. Yu Fuling noticed that his face looked a little strange and she did not dare to speak again along the way. She wondered in her heart what Master Liu had said to her. Could it be that Master Liu was unhappy because of her closeness to Yu Jiao?
Just when Yu Fuling was lost in thought, Yu Qizhe suddenly appeared and asked, "Sister, did you encounter any problems while you were practicing medicine at the Mu Mansion?"
Although he did not see Liu Ziqi entering the Mu Mansion, he saw the officials from the Ministry of Justice escorting people out of the Mu family.
Yu Fuling heard the voice and said, "This is a long story. I don't know where to start. Brother, do you remember that when we were returning from Qingzhou, someone robbed us on the road?"
Yu Qizhe nodded, he remembered it very clearly.
Yu Fuling continued, "The one who ordered the robbery of Yu Jiao was a doctor named Lin Fang. Some time ago, Yu Jiao and I went to see the third wife of the Wu family and met a doctor named Wang Min. This doctor Wang was Lin Fang's master."
"Yu Jiao told me that Young Marquis Gu had Lin Fang's clinic in Qingzhou closed down, so Lin Fang came to the capital to seek refuge with his master, Imperial Doctor Wang. It was Imperial Doctor Wang who was arrested by the officials just now."
Yu Fuling continued, "When Yu Jiao and I came to the capital, we rescued a man on the official road in the suburbs of the capital. That man was guarding the charity cemetery. Some people paid money to buy ownerless corpses from the charity cemetery to practice the art of laparotomy. Later, they were reported to the authorities. The person who bought the corpse was the hypocritical Wang Imperial Doctor! He cried thief and wanted to frame Yu Jiao for the corpse destruction. The people from the government office in the capital wanted to arrest Yu Jiao and take her to the government office without any reason. Fortunately, Mr. Liu invited the officials from the Ministry of Justice to come and expose Wang Min."
Yu Qizhe paused for a moment. He had already reached Kanjing Hutong. The big banyan tree at the entrance of the alley was bare, and its dry and yellow leaves had long since been ravaged by the cold winter wind and were withered and dying.
The sky in the capital should be vast, but it seems cramped and depressing because of the layers of stacked square courtyards.
Yu Qizhe took a deep breath slowly, and the cold air entered his lungs. This bone-chilling chill made him more awake.
Both Gu Yun and Liu Ziqi are capable of protecting Yu Jiao.
Yu Qizhe closed his eyes. Forbearance and waiting were the only things he could do at this moment.
-
The next day, Liu Ziqi accompanied Yu Jiao to the Ministry of Justice. With Li Jing's testimony, Yu Jiao thought that Wang Min's execution was inevitable, but she did not expect that Lin Fang would take all the charges.
Lin Fang took the initiative to confess that after he had seen Yu Jiao's medical skills in Qingzhou, he had coveted her. He tried to hire someone to rob Yu Jiao in Qingzhou but failed. After arriving in the capital, he thought of buying a corpse from the charity cemetery to practice. He also said that his master Wang Min was unaware of what he had done, so he killed Wang Min completely.
Lin Fang and Yu Jiao already had a personal grudge in Qingzhou, so this statement sounded reasonable and had no loopholes.
In response to Li Jing's testimony, Lin Fang said that every time he took a trusted medicine boy from Baoyaotang to the charity cemetery, he covered his face with a scarf. Li Jing had never seen his true face, so how could he testify that it was Wang Min and not him? He turned around and accused Li Jing of perjury.
The Mu family sued Wang Min for tampering with Su Qingqing's medicine, causing her to have a difficult delivery. Wang Min refused to admit it and only said that the servant who prepared the medicine made a mistake when buying it. As an imperial physician, he had no grudges against the Mu family and there was no reason for him to harm the child in the Mu family's young lady's belly.
He went to the government office in the capital to report the case not to frame Yu Jiao, but because he had seen Yu Jiao perform a caesarean section and suspected that she was involved in the corpse destruction case. He did not dare to keep silent about it, so he went to report the news to Inspector Zhang.
After the interrogation, Wang Min became the most innocent person, who suffered this misfortune only because he had the misfortune of accepting a disciple.
Wang Min acted so hypocritically in the execution hall that Yu Jiao felt sick.
Since there was no direct evidence to prove that it was Wang Min who bought the corpse and performed a caesarean section, and since Wang Min was an imperial physician and an official, Mei Xuanlang could not allow anyone to torture him. After careful consideration, Mei Xuanlang planned to detain him first, and then find strong evidence before retrial on another day.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a minor official hurried in and whispered a few words into Mei Xuanlang's ear.
Yu Jiao noticed that Mei Xuanlang frowned, and there was a hint of disgust in his expression.
After the clerk left, Mei Xuanlang spoke again, saying that since Lin Fang had already pleaded guilty, the case had nothing to do with other people, and sentenced Lin Fang to one year in prison.
After Lin Fang was pressed down, Wang Min's hunched back straightened instantly. When he walked out of the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, he glanced at Yu Jiao with a look of pride on his face.
"Miss Liu San, everything that happened today was a misunderstanding. I didn't know people well enough to accept a bad disciple. Fortunately, I have been cleared of all charges now. Miss Liu San, please don't hold a grudge against me for this." He said with deep meaning, "When we meet, we should forgive others when we can."
Yu Jiao smiled coldly, "Doctor Wang is very capable, but if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts."
Wang Min glanced at Liu Ziqi, who had a cold expression on his face, and didn't dare to say anything harsh. He smiled and said, "I have never done anything wrong, so I am not afraid of ghosts."
