"Doctor Xu, are you deliberately flattering me?"
"Don't even mention me. Even the imperial doctors from the capital don't dare to guarantee that they can cure the epidemic patients."
"Why are you so sure that I can do it?"
"Among all the doctors present here, who is not my predecessor? Who is not better than me in medical skills?"
"I know I am still young and not as good as you seniors, so I ask for advice whenever I have time, because medicine is limitless and I want to learn more."
"If this epidemic can be cured in the end, it will definitely not be the credit of me, Arya, alone, but the result of everyone's joint efforts."
"Of course, this big family does not include you, Doctor Xu."
"After all, since Doctor Xu came to Hu'er Lane, he has not been busy curing diseases and saving lives, but has been busy with petty activities and gossiping."
"Those who know you call you Doctor Xu, while those who don't know you might think you're the lazy guy at the entrance of the village who's always slacking off."
"You...what are you talking about!"
Xu Yongnian was so angry at Si Muqiao's words that he was speechless for a moment, and he wanted to walk over and tear Si Muqiao's mouth apart.
According to common sense, Erya had already been put on the fire by him, and even if she would be burned to death in the next moment, she had to grit her teeth and nod.
Then, she was ridiculed by everyone for not being able to do what she had agreed to, and was also questioned by Lord Fan.
But now this...how come this is completely different from what he thought?
How dare Erya admit that she was not capable in front of so many people and even scold him?
Doesn’t she care about her face and image?
How dare she?
"I what me?"
Si Muqiao glared at him, then bowed in the direction of Fan Yisheng and spoke.
"Master Fan, in the face of the epidemic, as doctors, we should work together to fight the epidemic."
"But this Doctor Xu Yongnian, for his own selfish reasons, used the epidemic as an excuse to stir up trouble and took the opportunity to stir up trouble. His heart is despicable."
"I didn't!" Xu Yongnian retorted subconsciously.
However, Si Muqiao ignored him and continued to look at Fan Yisheng and talk.
"Think about it, sir. Those patients knew from the beginning that they were suffering from the plague and would die. So even though they were sad and afraid, they could accept it."
"But at this time, someone comes out and tells them that your plague can be cured. What will everyone do? They will be hopeful and full of expectations."
"But the reality is that the cure rate for diseases like plague is too low."
"In the end, when those people find out that they have been waiting for so long, but they are still going to die, what will they do?"
"They only question my medical skills and want to beat me to death? No, I responded to the court's call and joined the epidemic prevention team established by the court."
"Once people start to doubt me, it means they are doubting the court."
"They will feel that the court is playing tricks on them, first giving them hope and then leaving them in despair."
"If this isn't intentional trouble, what is it?"
"I even suspect that Doctor Xu is a spy sent from somewhere else."
"Please investigate and punish severely."
After Si Muqiao finished speaking, Xue Yichun took a step forward and spoke.
"I think so too. Please make the decision for Miss Arya!"
"Please, sir, take charge of Miss Erya and severely punish Doctor Xu!"
"Please make the decision for Miss Arya!"
Other doctors also stood up and spoke for Si Muqiao.
"Erya, stop slandering me!"
"And you, you guys, how could you team up to bully me?" Xu Yongnian was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
If he had known that Arya was so talkative, could turn black into white, and could pull others into her camp, he would definitely not have done that.
He would simply find a time and place where no one was around and beat Arya to death.
"Sir, I have been wronged, sir..." Xu Yongnian, who was besieged by the crowd, fell to his knees and begged for mercy with a bitter face.
"Shut up! How dare you, Xu Yongnian? You still want to quibble now that things have come to this?"
"Someone, cover his mouth, drag him out, and give him twenty lashes of the cane." Fan Yisheng shouted coldly and gave the order with a look of hatred on his face.
"yes."
Soon, officials appeared and dragged Xu Yongnian out like a dead dog and began to execute him.
"Miss Erya, don't feel any psychological burden, and don't let this kind of person ruin your mood."
"I will order Xu Yongnian to go and explain in person in a moment."
"If he cannot resolve this matter, I will make him die as a token of my guilt."
"Thank you, sir." Si Muqiao bowed again to express his gratitude.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do."
"The imperial physician from the capital will arrive here in three days at the latest. I believe that with the help of the imperial physician and the efforts of all the doctors, we will be able to develop an anti-epidemic prescription as soon as possible and save the people of Guozhou."
"Here, I would like to thank all the doctors for their generosity."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Yisheng symbolically bowed to Si Muqiao and others to express his gratitude.
"Sir, don't worry, we will do our best."
“…”
Fan Yisheng spoke some polite words to everyone, arranged for someone to keep an eye on Xu Yongnian, and then left.
As soon as Fan Yisheng left, Simuqiao bowed and thanked all the doctors in the tent.
"Thank you all for your righteous words just now. I, Erya, am grateful to you."
"Miss Erya, you are too polite. I have disliked Xu Yongnian for a long time."
"Indeed, I am just telling the truth."
“…”
After being polite, Si Muqiao walked out of the tent and squatted in front of Xu Yongnian, who had just been executed, with a smile on his face.
"Doctor Xu, are you satisfied with this result?"
"Tell me, how deep is the hatred and enmity between us? It's only been half a day, and you've already framed me twice."
"Does my Arya look so easy to bully?"
"Erya, don't be so proud too soon, hiss!" Xu Yongnian had a gloomy face and stared at Si Muqiao with anger and unwillingness.
"Proud? You remind me of that."
"As for me, if others respect me one foot, I will respect them one yard."
"But if others are looking for trouble and insist on bullying me, then even a weak woman like me will win them over with my virtue."
"Hahaha, win people over with virtue? Arya, are you going to start talking about your ridiculous... well, hiss!"
Xu Yongnian was originally still laughing.
The result is the next moment.
When he saw Si Muqiao take out a brick with the word "德" written on it particularly clearly, he stopped laughing.
Especially when Si Muqiao had a soft and harmless smile on his face and hit him on the butt that had just been spanked twenty times with a brick.
He was in so much pain that he wanted to die right there.
Maybe, possibly, perhaps his butt has been beaten to pieces at this moment?
"Funny? Huh?" The smile on Si Muqiao's mouth became more and more obvious, but in Xu Yongnian's eyes, it looked like a demon that was taking his life.
He kept saying, "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me. I was wrong, Miss Erya, please have mercy on me and let me go."
"Hit? Who hit me? I'm just a weak and pitiful little woman. How could I possibly beat a grown man like you?"
"I am just trying to convince people with my virtue."
After saying that, she raised the brick again and threw it towards Xu Yongnian.
Two bricks in exchange for Xu Yongnian's two frame-ups.
Well, we're even.
"Next time, I won't be so good-tempered, Doctor Xu."
After saying that, Si Muqiao put away the brick, clapped his hands, turned around and left.
"..." Xu Yongnian, who was staying where he was, shook his body in fear, then his eyes went dark and he fainted.
Before he fainted, he was still wondering where did Si Muqiao get the brick from?
Also, why the hell is she so strong?
Damn it.
