Huang Fu quickly realized that this was his opportunity.
After receiving confirmation from Song Yi and Zhang Sheng that the medicinal herbs had been changed, Huang Fu found Li Yanping, the head manager of the business, and knelt down with his broken leg, pleading, "Please, head manager, save me."
Before Li Yanping could reply, Huang Fu quickly explained his arrangements, and then said with a wronged tone, "I really don't know where this He Han came from. Although the matter I arranged hasn't been exposed yet, it's already a matter of life and death. Please, Manager, save me."
Li Yanping was furious with Huang Fu. He had told him long ago not to go against the Wen family, but this guy wouldn't listen at all. Only when it was time to clean up the mess did he remember him.
However, the clinic is part of the business. If the clinic is destroyed, the business will not be seriously injured, but its overall reputation will be damaged.
Just as Huang Fu said, now the arrow is on the bowstring and must be released.
He had to get Prefect Qi to handle the matter with great fanfare before the Wen family could react.
Li Yanping kicked Huang Fu aside and rushed to see the magistrate. He handed over a few silver notes, and the magistrate knew how to proceed.
He Han, stubborn as ever, was still guarding outside the prefectural government office, while Qi Wenhan was in a real bind. As clever as he was, how could he not have imagined that this matter was aimed at the Wen family's medical clinic? So after sending someone to the Wen residence to find out what was going on, he stayed in the backyard of the government office and refused to go out.
The servants he had arranged had not yet returned, so the prefect hurriedly went to find Qi Wenhan, saying, "Your Excellency, the Wen family has sent word that they can withstand any investigation, so Your Excellency need not worry."
Having received confirmation, Prefect Qi finally showed up. As soon as the prefectural government office opened, a huge crowd was seen outside, an event even larger than the opening of the Wen family's medical clinic.
His appearance stirred up the crowd once again, with everyone eager to know if the Wen family medical clinic was alright.
Qi Wenhan first had the servants from the Huang family, who were being held by He Han, taken back to the yamen and placed under strict guard. Then, he led a large group of people to the Wen family's medical clinic.
When Song Yi and Zhang Sheng saw the clinic surrounded by people, they were stunned. They knelt on the ground and cried out that they were wronged: "The medicines in the clinic are all of the best quality. It is impossible for them to be of inferior quality. Please, Prefect, restore the reputation of the Wen family."
Qi Wenhan arranged for several doctors to come in and examine the patient. Qin, the Imperial Physician, finally came out from the backyard, followed by the guards from the Wen family.
A doctor was accompanied by a guard to prevent any doctor from taking advantage of the chaos to do something bad.
After all, such clandestine searches were quite common in the palace.
Judge Qin's concerns were not unfounded, because soon a doctor was dragged out, and the guards found a packet of poison in his sleeve. The doctor's face was ashen, and after being thrown to the ground, he suddenly got up and tried to bang his head against the wall, but instead bumped into He Han's arms.
He Han was knocked backward by the impact, clutching his aching chest and saying, "I just came to watch the fun, why did you hit me!"
The guard reacted quickly and knocked the man unconscious, then dragged him by one leg and handed him over to Prefect Qi.
Judge Qin sneered, hands clasped behind his back: "The people of the Huang family are truly terrifying. Not only did they frame our Wen Family Medical Clinic for using inferior products, but they also openly used poison to frame us. I think I should go back and tell our young master that Changzhou is the domain of the Li Family Trading Company. He can decide who does business with him."
Qi Wenhan broke out in a cold sweat as Qin Yuanpan laughed at him: "Doctor Qin, it was...it was I who trusted the wrong person. I hope Doctor Qin will be magnanimous."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Wenhan's piercing gaze was like a knife, intent on scraping a layer of skin off the unconscious man!
This was his mistake, and he had to crush Huang Fu to death, otherwise he would be betraying the young prince's trust!
Judge Qin got the result he wanted and also spread the news that the Huang family was behind it. Huang Fu had been arrogant for so long, it was time for him to reap what he sowed.
The remaining doctors quickly came out empty-handed, saying that they had carefully examined the medicines at Wen's Medical Hall and found that there was nothing wrong with them, even the medicines in stock were well preserved.
The doctors' voices weren't loud, but He Han's was. Every time a doctor said something, He Han would raise his voice to spread it, and soon everyone knew that Wen's Clinic was clean, the medicinal herbs were of the highest quality, but the medicine was much cheaper than Li's Clinic, and there was even a miracle doctor on duty...
Once the matter was investigated and clarified, the people immediately thought of the goodness of the Wen family's medical clinic.
If Wen's clinic is the only one of its kind in Changzhou and is about to be squeezed out, will the cost of medicine for ordinary people like them rise again?
The doctor lying on the ground, and Huang Fu's servant who had been held by He Han earlier, left everyone with nowhere to vent their anger.
Someone muttered to He Han, "Huang Fu has been running Li's Medical Clinic for years, and who knows how much dirty money he's made. Last time during the snowstorm, he even tried to stop Doctor Qin from saving people. He's so wicked. I can't calm my anger without giving him a good beating!"
He Han glanced at the man; he was unfamiliar with him and didn't know him, but what the man said struck a chord with him.
Because that unfortunate person who was stopped and waiting for help was him!
He Han was a stubborn man. Even though his wife was blocking Doctor Qin, Doctor Qin didn't mind and even sent his apprentice to take care of him personally. In He Han's eyes, Doctor Qin was like a second parent to him.
Why didn't he go to Xinliang? Because he wanted to repay Doctor Qin for saving his life!
So when He Han heard the rumors about Wen's Medical Clinic early in the morning, he didn't care about the truth or not, he just believed one thing: my savior could not have done such a thing!
So no matter what others did, He Han kept searching for people, going up the chain of command, and didn't think much of it when he found the servants of the Huang family.
Hearing the man's mutterings, He Han finally understood: "Damn it, this Huang Fu dares to scheme against Doctor Qin! He doesn't value the lives of the people of Changzhou at all!"
The man scoffed, "That's right, all businessmen are cunning. What are our lives compared to how easy it is for him to make money?"
The man waved his hand and continued, "What he said makes me so angry, I wish I could beat him up to vent my anger."
He Han's eyes darted around, and he shouted, "If this guy surnamed Huang won't let me live, I won't let him live either! I'm going to find him right now and demand an explanation!"
The man exclaimed "Ah!" several times, then shouted, "Quick, quick, let's all go with him and ask Huang Fu what he's up to. Also, stop some people; we can't really fight, or we'll end up in jail."
Having witnessed the entire incident, Prefect Qi glanced at that face, then at the commoners who had been led away by He Han. Without even pretending, he ordered his men to drag the doctor from the ground back to the prefectural office.
The Wen family medical clinic passed everyone's test and successfully overcame the difficulties. Upon receiving the news, Huang Fu smashed several teacups in anger...
