Chapter 780 The rabbit dies, the fox grieves; things of the same kind grieve.
The treacherous intrigues and backstabbing in the imperial court were still far removed from Li Sanniang's life at this time. However, Li Sanniang was not the kind of person who would sit idly by and wait for death. After learning about this matter from Physician Sun and Physician Ning, Li Sanniang left the drug rehabilitation center that very night with Qiu Xiang and went to see Mr. Bu Ke.
Still dressed in white, as pure as snow, like a lone pine tree atop a mountain, Mr. Bu Ke sat firmly at the head of the table. It was only when Li San Niang entered and bowed to him that Mr. Bu Ke returned the bow.
"Did you come to see me because of the Censorate's plan to impeach the Imperial Medical Bureau?"
Li San Niang was not at all surprised that Mr. Bu Ke knew these things.
After all, the Bad People are inherently equipped with the function of collecting and organizing intelligence. Judging from their past deeds, Li San Niang thinks that the Bad People probably even know what dishes the officials in the imperial court eat for dinner.
"It is indeed related to this."
Hearing Li San Niang say this, Mr. Bu Ke tapped the teacup in front of him and invited Li San Niang to drink tea. "Oh?"
It wasn't that at all?
What brings Third Sister here?
Li Sanniang was indeed quite thirsty on the way. After taking a couple of sips of tea, she looked at Mr. Bu Ke and said, "I am not an official, so the grudges between the Censorate and the Imperial Medical Bureau cannot be attributed to me."
Even if the Imperial Medical Bureau were to hand over me, the ringleader who desecrated another's corpse, in order to protect itself, there would still need to be someone who believes it.
Even though I have some influence in the Imperial Medical Academy, it's only known internally.
To outsiders, I, a woman, don't seem to have that much ability.
If I were really to be handed over, I'm afraid few people would believe that I have such great abilities, and some might even doubt that a woman like me would dare to face a corpse.
"And, sir," Li Sanniang smiled at Mr. Bu Ke with a smirk, "even if the Imperial Medical Academy wants to send me out to take charge, even if the Chang'an Medical Alliance doesn't care about me, you will definitely take care of me!"
Mr. Bu Ke was genuinely surprised by Li San Niang's words. He paused for a moment, then nodded at her smiling face. "What San Niang said does indeed make some sense."
“I know a lot more than you do, how could you not take care of me, sir?” Li San Niang pointed to her head with her finger.
"What's wrong with Third Sister?"
Li San Niang sighed, "Alas, I can still protect myself, but it's hard to say about Doctor Huang, who is still in the Jingzhao Prefecture prison."
Although after my explanation, Ning Yizheng should no longer be considering handing over Dr. Huang and me.
However, it is true that Dr. Huang stole other people's corpses. According to the law, he would definitely be punished and would likely be dismissed from the Imperial Medical Bureau. Even if he didn't work at the Imperial Medical Bureau, he could become an itinerant doctor after he was released from prison.
However, the prisons of the Jingzhao Prefecture are not places where physicians like us can stay.
The past few days have been fine; I reckon the constables of the Jingzhao Prefecture, out of respect for the Imperial Medical Bureau, wouldn't treat Doctor Huang too badly.
But it's been half a day since the Censorate issued that announcement; who knows what might have happened to Doctor Huang in prison.
As Li San Niang spoke, she stood up and respectfully bowed to Mr. Bu Ke, saying, "I will have to trouble you to send your brothers from the alliance to help ensure Physician Huang's safety."
It is wrong for this person to steal other people's corpses, but I have met this person in the past and he is indeed exceptionally talented. If he studies surgery carefully, he will definitely be able to save many lives in the future!
If the Imperial Medical Academy doesn't take care of him, it would be good if you could get him into our Bad People's Guild.
"Haha, Third Sister is still so kind-hearted. She's not only soft-hearted towards women, but also towards men."
"Sir, it's not that I'm kind-hearted. We're both doctors and we know each other. If something were to happen to Dr. Huang, how could I not feel a sense of shared sorrow and kinship?"
Li San Niang's request was naturally not difficult for the Bad Guys, and Mr. Bu Ke also confided in Li San Niang: "Don't worry, San Niangzi, this person will definitely be fine, he will only suffer some physical pain."
Once the matter between the Censorate and the Imperial Medical Bureau is resolved, he should be able to be released.
As for matters of state in the imperial court, I cannot say much to Third Sister. I will only tell you one thing: rest assured, the Imperial Medical Bureau will be fine.
With Mr. Bu Ke's definite answer, Li San Niang finally felt at ease.
Afterwards, Li San Niang chatted with Mr. Bu Ke about the smallpox vaccine. Eventually, the conversation turned to the matter of the Bad Guys, along with the Shi and Du families, capturing the remnants of the traitors in the Fu Rong Gao case in Jiangnan East Road.
"...According to what you said, have you sent someone to find the source?"
By now, there should be a result, right?
Have we found the person behind this?
Mr. Bu Ke shook his head. "Because we are at sea, news travels slowly from port to port. Right now, there's still no news coming in."
Finding the source should be possible, but who's behind it all is hard to say.
"Didn't that boy named Yuri explain anything to us?"
Speaking of Yuri, Mr. Ke's expression became slightly strange. He looked at Li San Niang and said, "He really doesn't seem like a teenager. He's too cunning."
"If you're able, Third Sister, go check on him later. He should have finished the medicine you prescribed last time."
"I have no problem examining him, but sir, please let me take a look at your hand. It's been a while since I've taken your pulse."
"Sir, if you follow my advice and treat yourself properly, and then seek out that Physician Huang again, your chances of getting back on your feet will be much greater."
Mr. Bu Ke hadn't initially dismissed Li San Niang's request to protect Doctor Huang, but now, hearing Li San Niang's words, he truly grasped the extent of Doctor Huang's extraordinary talent. "Is this person so gifted? Comparable to San Niangzi?"
Li San Niang nodded, then shook her head. "I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants."
If we're only talking about talent, Dr. Huang is superior to me.
Meanwhile, the doctor Huang, whom Li San Niang and Mr. Bu Ke were talking about, was leaning against the dirty prison wall, massaging his acupoints to relieve the pain in his body.
Feeling hungry, Doctor Huang touched his stomach and thought that he might not make it out alive. He regretted that he should have bought ten chickens from Zhou's Roast Chicken when he returned to Chang'an.
While thinking about the roast chicken, Dr. Huang suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the cell. In just a few moments, a jailer unlocked the cell door.
"Dr. Huang, you've hit the jackpot! Someone's protecting you. Get up, let me get you a clean place."
After thinking for a moment about who would protect him, Dr. Huang asked leisurely, "Is Director Wang going to protect me? Or is it Medical Supervisor Sun?"
"Oh dear, Dr. Huang, I'm just a worker, how could I possibly know?"
Therefore, Dr. Huang stopped thinking about it and quickly stood up and followed the jailer out of the cell.
Sitting on the wooden frame covered with hay, Dr. Huang looked at the water jug and the three sesame cakes in the earthenware bowl in front of him. He had no other thoughts and grabbed the sesame cakes to wolf them down.
