Su Ruojin went to the gambling den again and asked Jin Niangzi to pass on her message to Yun Hao, asking him to find out as soon as possible about Zhou Lei's previous misdiagnosis.
Zhou Lei was just an ordinary citizen, and Yun Hao quickly brought Su Ruojin evidence that Zhou Lei had misdiagnosed someone and caused their death.
At a rough glance, there are more than twenty cases, and that's just the ones that can be found. It doesn't include the cases where people didn't dare to cause trouble for An Tang and just silently endured it.
Looking at these cases, most of them were ordinary people with some financial means, like Li An. Zhou Lei would prescribe expensive tonics, which ultimately delayed the diagnosis and treatment of the patients.
There were five other cases where poor people died, but the cause of death was that Zhou Lei had failed in his drug trials on them.
This person cannot be allowed to live!
When Lord Zhang woke up, he saw a letter on his bedside table. When he opened it, he was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the bed.
The letter contained evidence of Zhou Lei's misdiagnosis that led to the death, with each and every one of the evidence clearly presented, including witnesses and physical evidence.
The letter itself wasn't anything special, but the fact that the other party managed to deliver it to his bedside without him noticing meant he was in serious trouble. If the other party had any malicious intent, he wouldn't be alive today.
The person capable of doing this, whether it's Princess Chang Le or anyone else, is someone he can't afford to offend.
Soon, Zhou Lei's sentence was handed down: execution in the autumn, and the He'an Hall was confiscated. The money from the confiscation was used to compensate the deceased's relatives, and the remainder was turned over to the national treasury.
The legendary doctor is gone just like that.
When Yun Gan received the news, he was somewhat surprised. He did not expect that Princess Chang Le could cause the renowned Physician Zhou of Yun City to fall from his pedestal and become a death row inmate.
That's interesting, really interesting!
He was becoming increasingly interested in this Princess Chang Le.
At this moment, Empress Sun received some news that enraged her so much that she immediately smashed the half-person-high white jade Guanyin statue.
It turned out that Consort Xian and the Third Prince had approached His Majesty, saying that the Third Prince admired Princess Chang Le and had persuaded His Majesty to send a letter to the Emperor of Great Chu, requesting that Princess Chang Le be sent to Yun Qi for a marriage alliance with the Third Prince.
Empress Sun originally intended to let Su Ruojin and Yun Gan develop feelings for each other so that the Emperor could marry the Princess without having to intervene. However, Consort Xian did not play by the rules and directly hijacked the marriage.
How could she tolerate it?
It seems some things need to be done ahead of schedule.
Su Ruojin was unaware of this matter; she brought Yanluo to the prison.
Zhou Lei, now in prison, had lost his former arrogance and looked more than ten years older in just a few days.
His hair had turned much whiter, his clothes were dirty and messy, and his head was covered in straw.
Upon seeing Su Ruojin, Zhou Lei's eyes instantly filled with hope. He rushed to the prison door, knelt down before Su Ruojin, and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Princess, spare me! Princess, spare me! I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong! I'll never do it again! Princess, please, for the sake of us both being doctors, go and plead with Lord Zhang to let me go, okay? I will definitely repent and become a good doctor."
Looking down at the weeping Zhou Lei, Su Ruojin said calmly, "Zhou Lei, how dare you call yourself a doctor? You probably don't even know how many lives you've taken, and you even dared to use people as test subjects!"
Zhou Lei was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head and argued, "They are just lowly people, their lives worthless. Even if I hadn't used them as test subjects, they wouldn't have lived much longer. If I use them as test subjects and it's successful, my medicine can benefit more people in Yunqi. I'm giving them a chance to accumulate merit; what wrong have I done?"
"Stubborn to the end!" Su Ruojin was unwilling to argue with him anymore. Selfish people will never realize their mistakes until they die. She didn't come here to debate with Zhou Lei.
Su Ruojin took out a small white paper packet, slowly opened it, revealing light pink medicinal powder.
"Zhou Lei, you should be familiar with this, right?"
Zhou Lei's eyes widened when he saw the powder in the paper packet.
