Chapter 21 What kind of man can stand her
Cao Deping put his hands behind his back and snorted coldly: "Anyway, if she doesn't die, she will be skinned alive!"
Cao Chengwen was happy at first, but then he asked with some concern: "But those people didn't cause any deaths after all. She is at most a quack doctor who misled people. When she is locked up for a few days and then released, isn't it still..."
"Idiot!" Cao Deping couldn't help but kick him. "Four people died in just a few days! How are we going to explain to the county magistrate if we make any more noise now?"
There is a limit to what you do!
The magistrate is now willing to turn a blind eye and help them, firstly out of consideration for his cousin, and secondly because he wants to close the case as soon as possible and suppress all these matters.
If more people died and people became panicked, someone might come out and accuse the magistrate of being incompetent and unable to govern even a small city like Jiangling.
"The county magistrate's term is about to expire. I heard that there is hope for promotion this time, so nothing can go wrong during this period!"
As long as that person gets promoted, won't they also be able to benefit?
By then, what would a small Jiangling be?
Cao Chengwen's eyes lit up instantly: "Really?!"
Cao Deping stroked his beard, a bit of pride on his face: "This is what your cousin told me personally, how could it be false? But you must not disclose this news to anyone else, do you hear me!"
"My son is not stupid. He still has some sense of propriety!" Cao Chengwen assured him, patting his chest.
But then, the scene of the confrontation with Ye Chutang at the government gate that day suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he didn't know why he felt inexplicably uneasy.
"But, Dad, I think Ye Chutang is quite resourceful. We still have to be on guard. Even if we can't pin her to death, we definitely can't give her a chance to turn things around!"
"Nothing to lose!" Cao Deping snorted disdainfully, "She's just a woman, what can she be capable of? This trip to the government office must have scared her to death! Now all the major drugstores in Jiangling don't do business with her, and she has caused several accidents, so the clinic has been closed. Even if she can get out, she can't stay in Jiangling anymore. Turning over? Dream on!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but blame Cao Chengwen.
"You have always been like this since you were little, not brave enough, but cowardly and afraid of everything! You are nothing like Cheng Wu—"
Having said this, he paused, swallowed the rest of his words, snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and turned away.
After he left, Cao Chengwen slowly raised his head and looked at him with resentment and unwillingness.
Over the years, he and Chengwu have been compared many times, and Chengwu is always praised more, as if he is inferior to Chengwu in every way!
But now Chengwu is dead! Dad is still——
Cao Chengwen slowly stood up and couldn't help sneering.
Yes, Chengwu is dead anyway, and no one will compete with him anymore.
Even if Dad knew that he did all this, wouldn't he still have to protect him?
Now just wait patiently for the results.
Ye Chutang...
I remember that day when the spring rain was drizzling, and the woman was holding an oil-paper umbrella, revealing a delicate and white wrist that was particularly eye-catching.
Cao Chengwen narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little hot in his heart.
In the whole Jiangling, there is no other woman with such beauty and temperament. If...
…
"So, you guys are really not leaving today?"
In front of the stairs, Ye Chutang asked again.
Lian Zhou nodded firmly: "Yes."
The master has made up his mind and wants to get to the bottom of things here, so they naturally cannot leave.
Ye Chutang glanced into the house.
I couldn't see anyone, I could only vaguely see a crescent-shaped white corner of a brocade robe.
It looks like they really don't plan to leave.
Ye Chutang had lived for two lifetimes, but this was the first time he had seen such a person.
When encountering trouble, don't dodge or avoid it, but just keep moving forward.
Okay.
Ye Chutang didn't dwell on this matter for too long and nodded gently.
"In that case, it won't be too late to leave after Master Shen's injury has healed. However, I may not be able to continue to help with the diagnosis in the next period of time."
Lian Zhou immediately said, "Don't worry, Doctor Ye, we know this too. Just go ahead and do your work. I will take care of our master."
Anyway, according to her, all he needs to do is take the medicine for a short period of time, and he can do all these things.
Ye Chutang smiled lightly: "So, please pay for accommodation and food expenses."
…
"She actually wants to charge us extra money!?"
Lian Zhou's face was full of disbelief.
"The money we paid her for her medical treatment these days is enough to buy her another yard!"
Chen Yanchuan lazily lay on the wooden rattan chair, but he curled his lips when he heard it, as if he was not surprised at all: "The clinic is closed, and she asked us to leave, which is considered to be settling the account with us. If we continue to stay, she will naturally charge us again."
Lian Zhou was even more shocked: "That's what she said, how did you know!?"
Is there any need to think about it? This is an absolutely accurate guess.
Ever since the night of the Spring Lantern Festival, Shen Yanchuan felt that no matter what she did, he would not find it strange or surprising.
"Give it to her."
Since the master has given an order, Lian Zhou must naturally obey it.
It’s not that I’m short of money, but...they give it out one by one like flowing water, who can bear it!
Lian Zhou couldn't help but complain: "I don't know what kind of man can stand such a woman!"
Chen Yanchuan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he suddenly looked up and asked, "Go check when she came to Jiangling and who her former husband was."
If you want to find out the relationship between her and Xu Fengchi, you must first understand her identity and her background.
The fastest way, of course, is to start with the people around her.
…
After arranging matters at home, Ye Chutang went to the yamen with Wu Xu and others.
As they walked along the road, Ye Chutang suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, how is Liu Si's case going?"
Wu Xu was a little surprised. Shouldn't most people be most concerned about their own affairs at this time? Why did she ask about other people's situation?
He thought about it and felt that Ye Chutang might still be worried that Ye Yunfeng was involved, so he comforted him: "Doctor Ye, don't worry. Liu Si has already confessed that he killed Cao Chengwu and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
It was purely a mistake to approach Ye Yunfeng before.
"Oh?" Ye Chutang seemed a little surprised. "Didn't Zhou testify publicly that it was Cao Chengwen who ordered it that day?"
Wu Xu explained helplessly, "That's right, but the key is that she had no evidence! So after much interrogation, they finally released Cao Chengwen."
Ye Chutang lowered his eyes slightly.
Cao Chengwen must have prepared for this day for a long time, so he was very cautious in every step. Although there was Zhou's testimony, there was no evidence, so there was no way to convict Cao Chengwen.
But Liu Si was destined to die.
Soon they arrived at the gate of the government office, and Wu Xu whispered, "Doctor Ye, this is just a routine inquiry, don't be nervous."
Ye Chutang looked up, only to see a woman's figure flash by behind the door.
She wore gorgeous clothes and expensive ornaments, and was quite charming.
It was the current county magistrate’s wife, Cao Deping’s cousin, Liu Yiyi.
Lian Zhou: I don’t know what kind of man can tolerate such a woman!
Chen Yanchuan: …
