Moreover, the old lady had already begun to show signs of lucidity this morning, but by evening, her pulse had not only not stopped, but had become stronger and stronger, and even her breathing had become even.
Even if it's a last gasp of life, it can't happen twice!
Who exactly is this young child? How could he possibly know such a miraculous art of bringing the dead back to life?
Magistrate Wang was no fool. From the expressions of the three doctors, he guessed what was going on. Overjoyed, he rushed to the bedside and felt his wife's pulse.
"Does it...do it really work?"
Only then did Wang Youren realize that the young man in front of him had never boasted or exaggerated; it was Wang Youren who had judged the gentleman by his own petty standards.
But who would have thought that there really is such a miraculous doctor in the world, who can really save people from the brink of death.
Seeing that Magistrate Wang and several doctors had repeatedly confirmed that the lady was gradually recovering and showing signs of waking up, Sun Jian finally spoke slowly: "I told you there was no problem, do you believe me now?"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Magistrate Wang straightened his clothes, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist, and said with a sincere expression, "Please accept my bow, my benefactor!"
His bow startled Sun Jian, who quickly stepped forward to help him up.
"Hey, what are you doing? You are a dignified county magistrate, and I am just a lowly commoner. How can you treat me like this?"
“No! At this moment, there is no distinction of class, only my benefactor and I, Wang. If it weren’t for your help, Madam would probably be passing away today.”
"Madam is my life, and saving her is the same as saving me. Please accept my bow."
As he spoke, Magistrate Wang began to bow again. This set of elaborate formalities left Sun Jian somewhat bewildered, and he helped him up once more.
"Wang had some doubts before, but now he thinks it's ridiculous..."
"Sir, you are truly a divine physician of our time. Your medical skills, which astound even ghosts and gods, are probably unmatched by anyone in the world."
Wang Youren recovered from his shock and quickly echoed, "I never imagined that there would be such a miraculous doctor in my nephew's village... I had no idea before. Young friend, may I ask who your master is?"
"You flatter me, sir."
Sun Jian rolled his eyes at Wang Youren helplessly. This old man really knew how to flatter himself, deliberately implying that Lord Wang was the one who brought him here.
“My master always wandered the mountains and rivers, never staying. He kept his name hidden and did not allow me to reveal it.”
"Sir, you are truly an extraordinary person! An extraordinary person!"
"Please wait a moment, sir. I will now instruct the servants to prepare dinner..."
Magistrate Wang and Wang Youren showered Sun Jian with flattery, practically praising him to the skies. If Sun Jian hadn't been preoccupied with concerns about Chu Qingcheng's safety, the two of them probably would have continued praising him until midnight.
After exchanging pleasantries, seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Sun Jian immediately stated his purpose.
"Lord Wang, I have a favor to ask."
"What is it?"
In front of the two men, Sun Jian recounted the whole story of Chu Qingcheng and Lao Jiang going into the city to exchange grain.
He also mentioned the trouble caused by Sun Hu and his yamen runners cooking and killing their own ox.
Magistrate Wang was a good official. He had only been in Hongnong County for a few years. He had heard about Sun Hu's affairs before, but he could not find any evidence to support his claims, so he did not take any action.
Upon hearing Sun Jian's account today, he was so enraged that he glared and puffed out his beard. He didn't even summon Old Jiang for a confrontation, determined to seek justice for Sun Jian.
The three of them traveled together without even summoning Old Jiang, who gathered several guards and rushed into the dungeon to rescue the people.
At this moment, inside the dungeon of Hongnong County.
Chu Qingcheng was huddled in the corner, her face filled with terror. She trembled as the man approached her. "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! What are you going to do!"
"What do you think I should do..."
Sun Hu grinned lewdly, his eyes filled with lust.
"Wow, her skin is so supple and smooth."
"I don't know what kind of luck that good-for-nothing had to dare to marry you. But then again, it makes sense. He was already starving to death, so at least he could enjoy half a month of pleasure with a beauty like you before he died, making his departure more comfortable..."
"With your figure and your face, I would be willing too if it were me."
Sun Hu crouched down, intending to reach out and touch her, but unexpectedly, Chu Qingcheng kicked him while he wasn't looking, then quickly got up and ran to the cell door, shouting, "Help! Help! Help!"
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect it to be so intense. Good, this is more fun." Sun Hu stood up nonchalantly, dusted off the dirt and grass clippings on his body, still wearing that lewd expression.
“My brother Sun Hao has called all the constables to go drinking. This is a dungeon. You can scream all you want, no one will care.”
"Tsk tsk, big breasts, big butt, and incredibly fair-skinned. She's absolutely the best of the best."
Chu Qingcheng looked utterly hopeless as she continued to dodge Sun Hu's approach in the prison.
She knew that arguing with such a person would be pointless, but the prison cell was only so big, where else could she go?
"My husband, my husband..."
"Stop calling for your worthless, poor husband. What good will he do? You expect him to come and save you?"
"With his frail body, he probably had a hard time getting here. Don't worry, the day for requisitioning grain is coming soon. After he's on the execution platform, I'll bring your two remaining sisters over."
Sun Hu became more and more excited as he spoke, and he pounced on Chu Qingcheng, pinning her down and starting to take off her clothes.
"Just give in to me, and you'll live the high life from now on. I promise I won't treat you badly."
Chu Qingcheng fought desperately to resist, but her strength was too weak, and she could not break free from Sun Hu's power.
For her husband's reputation and to clear her own name, the last thing she could think of was to bite her tongue and commit suicide, so that he wouldn't succeed.
"My husband will not let you get away with this!"
"Him? Even if I gave him ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare come here."
"He should take a piss and see what kind of person he is. I'm only doing him a favor by sleeping with his woman. I'll kill him sooner or later!"
Unexpectedly, just as Sun Hu finished speaking, several hurried footsteps echoed in the dungeon corridor, and at the same time, that familiar voice rang in his ears.
"Yeah?"
"I don't need you to give me the guts. I'm coming right now. Let's see how you're going to kill me."
Sun Hu looked up and saw that Sun Jian, Lord Wang, and Magistrate Wang were already standing at the prison door, and the guards were using a key to open the prison door.
"My husband..."
Hearing that familiar voice, Chu Qingcheng's eyes filled with tears, and hope was rekindled in her heart. Taking advantage of Sun Hu's distraction, she fiercely attacked his groin with her knee. Sun Hu let out a miserable scream, and Chu Qingcheng took the opportunity to stand up and rush to her husband.
