The young widow immediately went to the town's health center.
The elderly doctor was sitting in the surgical clinic.
As soon as the young widow appeared at the door of the clinic, the surgeon greeted her, "Mr. Zhang, you've arrived. Please have a seat."
"Dr. Wang, you seem to be quite free today. How come you don't have a single patient?"
"Mr. Zhang, I've been busy all afternoon, seeing about ten patients. It's already past four o'clock, and people won't be coming to see a doctor at this time. I've finally had a moment of peace."
"Dr. Wang, you doctors are really too busy. Look, there are only two surgeons. It must be very hard on you two."
Dr. Wang asked, "Mr. Zhang, where do you feel unwell?"
The young widow rubbed her knee, feigning pain, and said, "Lately, my right knee has been hurting a lot. It aches and hurts whenever I walk a little too much."
After examining the young widow, Dr. Wang said, "There might be some fluid buildup, but it's not a big problem. I'll prescribe some medicine for you, and you'll be fine in a couple of days."
The young widow casually asked, "Dr. Wang, a couple of days ago, a man named Erlv was injured. Did you examine him?"
"Erlv? I don't remember him."
"It happened the day before yesterday."
"Oh, the day before yesterday, I was in the inpatient department, and Dr. Zhang was in the outpatient department. Perhaps the patient named Erlv was seeing him."
Is Dr. Zhang in the inpatient department?
"Yes, but Dr. Zhang has already gone home. I heard he has guests at his house."
"oh."
The young widow bid farewell to Doctor Wang.
He immediately went to Doctor Zhang's house.
Dr. Zhang's home is a single-story house located at the east end of the town.
The young widow knocked on the courtyard gate and called out loudly, "Dr. Zhang!"
Hearing the shouts, Dr. Zhang ran over and opened the courtyard gate. When he saw the young widow, he said happily, "Sister Meng, you are a rare guest! Please come in."
The young widow glanced into the courtyard and asked, "Dr. Zhang, I heard you have guests."
"Yes, my uncle is away on a business trip and stopped by to see me."
"Oh, then I won't go in. Dr. Zhang, I just wanted to ask you something. The day before yesterday, a man named Erlv was injured. Did you treat him?"
"Yes, that Erlu is the town mayor's nephew. It's said that he was beaten up by one of his sworn brothers. He was beaten up pretty badly, losing five teeth and his face was swollen like a meat bun."
"Dr. Zhang, I heard that Erlu also broke two ribs?"
Dr. Zhang looked a little nervous and asked, "Sister Meng, why are you concerned about this? Are you and Erlv related?"
"Dr. Zhang, to be honest, I'm related to the mayor. This Erlu is the mayor's nephew. If Erlu's ribs are broken, I'll have to go visit him. If his ribs aren't broken, then I'll leave it at that."
Dr. Zhang hesitated before saying, "Yes...yes, two ribs are broken."
The young widow was a clever woman, very good at reading people, and she could tell at a glance that Doctor Zhang was lying.
In other words, Erlu's ribs were not broken; he obtained a false injury certificate.
It seems that Liu Fei must have instructed Doctor Zhang to do this, to exaggerate the severity of the injuries so that the abbot could be sent to prison.
The young widow didn't press the matter further, but simply said, "It seems I'll have to spend some money to visit Erlv. To be honest, business at the restaurant hasn't been good lately, and I'm a bit short on cash. As for these social niceties, I'll just pretend I don't know anything if I can turn a blind eye."
Dr. Zhang was a little embarrassed and flustered. He said, "Sister Meng, please come inside and sit down."
"No, you have guests, so I won't disturb you."
The young widow hurriedly returned to the Baixing Restaurant. She went into the bedroom and said to Ma Yunfei, "I asked the surgeon. It was Dr. Zhang who examined Erlu's injuries. Judging from his expression, Erlu's ribs weren't broken. Perhaps Erlu's aunt had Dr. Zhang issue a false injury certificate."
Ma Yunfei clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the coffee table, angrily saying, "This...this is simply outrageous! Does having power mean you can frame people?!"
The young widow sighed and said, "Young man, calm down. This kind of thing is commonplace. I'm used to it."
“I…I’m going to the county public security bureau to expose this lie. I want the county public security bureau to take Erlv to the county hospital for a re-examination.”
“Little brother, you can’t show up in person, otherwise you’ll offend the mayor. Even though you’re the mayor’s godson, compared to Erlu, you’re not worth much as his godson.”
"I...I can't just stand by and watch the abbot be framed. I absolutely cannot allow this to happen."
"Young man, don't act rashly. We need to think carefully about how to expose this lie without affecting you."
Ma Yunfei thought for a moment and said, "I'll make an anonymous call to the county public security bureau and tell them about this case of issuing a false injury certificate."
The young widow pondered for a moment and said, "Young man, what you're doing isn't right either. If the town mayor has connections in the county public security bureau, then even if you go to the county hospital for a second examination, they can get a second fake injury certificate. What will you do then?"
Ma Yunfei thought to himself, "That's right. The town mayor has been an official for so many years, he must have connections in the county. If that's the case, he can get a fake injury certificate at the town health center, and he can get a fake injury certificate at the county hospital as well."
In that case, not only will the abbot not be saved, but a whole bunch of people will also be implicated.
"Sister Meng, what should I do? My mind is a complete mess right now, I have no idea what to do."
The young widow pondered for a moment and offered a suggestion: "Young man, I think this fake injury certificate was probably done by Erlu's aunt, and the mayor might not know about it. Think about it, Erlu is his aunt's nephew, and he's a distant relative of the mayor. The mayor is a cunning old fox; he might not be willing to do something like issuing a fake injury certificate, because if this were exposed, it would affect his job."
Ma Yunfei nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, based on my understanding of the mayor, he is a very cunning person. Moreover, the mayor has a bad impression of Erlv and usually ignores him."
The young widow said quietly, "Young man, you can write an anonymous letter to the mayor and tell him that the matter of issuing a false injury certificate for Erlv has been discovered. I think the mayor will definitely withdraw the false injury certificate."
Ma Yunfei jumped up with joy and cheered, "Sister Meng, you're so smart! That's a brilliant move, absolutely brilliant!"
That evening, Ma Yunfei returned home, carefully considered his words, and wrote a letter with his left hand. In the letter, he wrote: "Mayor, your wife used connections to get Erlv a false injury certificate, claiming that he had two broken ribs, in an attempt to send the assailant to prison. Someone already knows about this and wants to use it to frame you and bring you down."
