Chapter 140 The plan failed
"Your son is fine, why would I destroy his body? I just want him to go to the side room so the doctor can come and treat him. Since you're worried, let's just stay in the hall!"
Jiang Tangtang could clearly see that this person was looking for trouble, but she still said in a good-tempered manner, "Everyone, spread out a little. Don't crowd too tightly. Let the patient breathe."
"What patient? You're just a black-hearted shopkeeper like you. You don't care about anything for the sake of making money. What are you feeding us? We've never seen anything red before. Who knows if it's poisonous or not?"
The servant said fiercely, "You must pay with my young master's life."
Jiang Tangtang said, "Many of the spices here in my home come from the Western Regions. They are not only non-toxic, but also nourishing to the human body. It's just that Yazhou is remote, so most people haven't seen them."
Ordinary chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns might just be spices. But Jiang Tangtang opened the shop earlier to save time, and the chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns he used were all from the space.
It has a certain nourishing effect on the human body.
Many people who had eaten the first-grade cilantro earlier now had expressions of sudden enlightenment. "I was wondering why I've been feeling much better these past few days. It turns out it's all because of the spices here!"
"Don't mention it. After eating Bobo Chicken the other day, I felt really relaxed all over. I even slept much better at night. If you say this spice is poisonous, I, Ma Dalin, would be the first to disagree."
"My old man said that he had smoother bowel movements in the morning after eating it. This store owner must be telling the truth. This thing is really good for the body."
…
In an instant, more than ten people stood up, all speaking in favor of Jiang Tangtang.
Seeing that something was wrong, Zhou Jiuniang quickly winked at a few women.
After a while, several women ran in, sat on the ground and rolled around, demanding that Jiang Tangtang pay for her brother's life.
"Why pay with your life? Let me take a look." Amidst the commotion, Xue Banxian walked in with a medicine box hanging on his shoulder.
Jiang Tangtang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who are you?" The square-faced woman looked at Xue Banxian and protected the man lying on the ground behind her like a chicken. "It's obvious that you are in cahoots with the store owner."
"This is Doctor Xue!" Lu Shiyan walked in wearing an officer's uniform. "If you don't trust me, I've invited famous doctors Fang and Zhu from the county to see you. I can't have bribed all the doctors in the county clinic, can I?"
Lu Shiyan turned slightly to reveal the doctors behind him.
Looking at the clothes Lu Shiyan was wearing and the doctors behind him, the square-faced woman who had made the most noise just now suddenly had a flash of guilt and anger in her eyes.
That bitch Zhou Jiuniang just called her over to cause trouble, but why didn’t she tell her that the man was a military officer in the barracks?
She wanted to stop them, but with so many people watching, stopping them would mean she was guilty.
But thinking that my third brother had already used poison when he came to the restaurant to eat, I was not afraid even if a doctor came to see him.
Thinking of this, the square-faced woman stopped trying to stop him.
Doctor Xue squatted down to examine the unconscious man. After a moment, he said, "This man has a congenital heart defect. Four or five days ago, he consumed a small amount of willow-leaf peach poison, which worsened his heart disease. He was also stimulated today, which is why he suddenly fainted in the shop."
The doctors behind Lu Shiyan had different expressions when they saw that he could even clearly describe when he took the poison and what kind of poison he took.
Some thought he was bluffing, wondering how anyone could diagnose a pulse so clearly. Others, eager to see if he was right, rushed forward with their medicine boxes to check the unconscious man's pulse.
The square-faced woman clenched her palms tightly under her sleeves to hide her fear.
After a while, several doctors came to a diagnosis that was almost the same as Xue Banxian's.
It’s just that some people didn’t diagnose when the patient started taking poison, while others didn’t diagnose what medicine the patient took.
Some even recognized the women causing the trouble. "Aren't these the wives of the Ye family? They've long despised the third son for being a sickly child and a drain on the family's money. Now that the old couple are gone, they've actually poisoned their brother-in-law and are trying to scam him out of money. How ruthless!"
"You...you're talking nonsense!" the square-faced woman said anxiously, "They're all in cahoots with her!"
Someone immediately retorted, "What a joke! If she can bribe one doctor, can she bribe all the doctors in the county?"
"I'm so sorry to have disturbed everyone's enjoyment of the meal today. I'll give each table of diners a free seafood platter."
Jiang Tangtang said some polite words and apologized to the customers in the restaurant. Then he turned around and ordered someone to send the daughters-in-law of the Ye family to the county government office.
When they heard about the Song County Government Office, the wives of the Ye family panicked and tried their best to defend themselves and beg for mercy. In order to avoid going to the County Government Office, they opened their mouths and confessed Zhou Jiuniang.
Jiang Tangtang had already thought that no one would come here to cause trouble for no reason, and there must be someone behind this.
I heard that it was Zhou Jiuniang who ordered it, so I didn't find it strange.
After all, she came here to propose marriage to her younger brother, and when she saw that the marriage was hopeless, she turned around and slandered them. This shows her personal character.
Jiang Tangtang was determined not to let such a person go.
When Zhou Jiuniang saw that several daughters-in-law of the Ye family had betrayed her, she turned around and tried to run away, but was stopped by Lu Shiyan and his men.
After Zhou Jiuniang arrived at the county government office, she realized that she could not escape, so she immediately gave Wang Mingfeng away.
As a result, several people were arrested and taken to the county government office.
The county magistrate probably wanted to establish himself, or perhaps he had tasted Yipinxiang's food and wanted to do Jiang Tangtang a favor, so he decided the case that day.
Wang Mingfeng, Zhou Jiuniang and all the people from the Ye family who participated in the poisoning were all beaten with thirty lashes and sent to the mine to do hard labor for ten years.
As soon as Zhou Jiuniang and Wang Mingfeng were executed, their mother-in-law viciously took a divorce letter and threw it in their faces.
However, the wives of the Ye family were not divorced. The main reason was that the brothers of the Ye family were also involved in the poisoning incident, so they were sentenced to do hard labor in the mine.
Although this incident caused a stir, it did not affect Yipinxiang's business. Instead, it made Xue Banxian's medical skills famous in the county.
After knowing that Xue Banxian lived in the Lu family's cake shop, now every day in addition to customers coming to the cake shop to buy cakes, there are also many doctors who come here because of his reputation, and patients who come to seek medical treatment.
Jiang Tangtang saw that Xue Banxian was impatient to see those people. After thinking for two days, he found Xue Banxian and said, "Divine Doctor, the house in the countryside is ready. I plan to move back there soon. Do you want to move back with us? Or do you want to stay in the city and open a clinic?"
Xue Banxian raised an eyebrow and glanced at Jiang Tangtang, then said with interest, "Girl, if I want to stay in the city and open a clinic, will you give me one?"
"You take the trouble to teach these children knowledge, so why not give you one?" Jiang Tangtang has been busy with her career recently and really has no time to take care of the children.
The education issues of the children basically all fall on Madam Lu and Xue Banxian.
Xue Banxian seems unreliable, boastful, and likes to brag, but he knows a lot.
In fact, it is not just about teaching children medical knowledge, but also about the fundamental principles of life.
