The brother who was slapped was still unconvinced, "Brother, I'm not wrong. Didn't you hear that they didn't believe us? These people must have been bribed by the restaurant to speak for them."
The ferocious-looking elder brother's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he immediately shouted, "Yes, these people must have been bribed by you, and that old doctor must have been bribed by you too, so that's why they all said that."
"Yes, big brother is right, they must be in the same group."
Xia Tian was so angry that he almost laughed when he saw how unreasonable these people were.
This guy is really a scoundrel, saying white is black, and he does it with a straight face!
The old doctor's beard was raised by the indignation of this group of people. "I have lived an upright life, treating and saving countless patients. How could you, a bunch of scoundrels, just accuse me of this?"
"That's right. Doctor Duan is the best doctor around here and he's a really nice person. How could he possibly collude with the restaurant?" Someone in the crowd spoke up for him.
"That's right, that's right. Doctor Duan lives nearby. We know him much better than you do."
"Yes, Doctor Duan has been here for decades, and he has never made a mistake in treating patients. You can't just throw dirty water on him!"
Many of the onlookers were residents or business people living nearby. Doctor Duan's clinic was nearby and he had been practicing medicine there for decades. They had basically all sought medical treatment from him and naturally knew what kind of person he was.
Seeing that they couldn't lead the discussion, and that everyone still didn't trust them, those few people started to act like scoundrels, saying, "That means you've been bought off too. You're all in the same group."
"Yes, big brother, let's report them to the authorities and have them arrested. I'm telling you, my big brother has connections in the government."
Although these people were forced to kneel here by County Master Yunying, their arrogance did not diminish at all, as if they had someone to rely on and were not afraid of Xia Tian and the others reporting them to the authorities.
Xia Tian didn't care about them so much. Since these people dared to put laxatives in his food, it must have been premeditated.
It's impossible that he was trying to extort money on a whim.
What kind of good person would carry laxatives with him when eating out?
No one knows who this Mr. Qi they are talking about is?
Why did you instruct these ruffians to cause trouble?
Anyway, we must find out who is behind this incident today, otherwise there will be endless troubles!
"Uncle Gu, can you search these people to see if they have any medicine?"
"Yes, ma'am." Uncle Gu called Yun An and others to come forward and prepare for a body search!
The men immediately roared, "What right do you have to search us? It was the food from your restaurant that made us sick, and now you're accusing us of drugging ourselves. Is there any justice in this world?"
This reminded her that she had been here for a while. These people insisted that the food in the restaurant had upset their stomachs, but they had not seen any signs of diarrhea in the past half day.
Instead, they were shouting here with full of energy.
"Since you said that the food in our restaurant upset your stomachs, then it's just perfect. Doctor Duan is right here. Let him take your pulse to see if you really have stomach upsets."
"We don't believe him. He's in league with you."
"Oh, it's none of your business!" Xia Tian snorted coldly.
Turning to look at Doctor Duan, he said, "Old man, could you please take the pulse of these people? I'll pay for the consultation."
Doctor Duan nodded and stepped forward to take their pulse. A few people wanted to resist, but were kicked by one of the guards of County Master Yunying who had been standing next to them. Only then did they honestly stretch out their hands to let Doctor Duan take their pulse.
Anyway, the few of them had already made up their minds that no matter what Dr. Duan's diagnosis was, they would insist that they had a stomach upset.
Doctor Duan took everyone's pulse one by one, then stood up, stroked his beard, and said, "These people don't have diarrhea."
When several people heard this, they immediately started shouting!
"You're talking nonsense! We brothers clearly ate the drugged food, how could we not have diarrhea?"
"Exactly. Didn't you just find out there was laxative in the food?"
"But you didn't even touch the food." Uncle Gu couldn't help but remind them, "Besides, who else with a stomach upset would be yelling here with the same vigor as you guys?"
After being reminded by Uncle Gu, the few people froze for a moment before they reacted.
Yes, they just have diarrhea, so they definitely can’t be treated like good people.
It was all the fault of that county lady just now. After being beaten up by her, she forgot about pretending to be sick.
"Ouch, ouch!" Several people immediately covered their stomachs and cried out.
"Wrong!" someone in the crowd corrected them, "That's not how you get a stomachache. It's like this!"
As the man spoke, he covered his stomach with one hand, his butt with the other, and squeezed his legs together to demonstrate to them.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha, that's right, you guys aren't pretending at all, it's obvious you haven't had diarrhea."
"That's right, if you want to blackmail someone, just act like one."
The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter, all amused by the man's actions.
Xia Tian couldn't help but smile, the people's eyes were still sharp.
Uncle Gu went forward to search the person and quickly found a packet of laxatives on one of them.
After confirming with Doctor Duan, it was the same as in the meal.
When several people saw that their medicine had been found, they still refused to admit it and insisted that Xia Tian and the others had framed them.
The Yunying County Lady, who was sitting upstairs watching the excitement, could no longer bear to watch. She ordered her guards, "Shut up these people and ask them one by one who is behind this. If they don't tell me, beat them until they tell."
"Yes, Lady County." The guard responded and immediately stepped forward to do as he was told.
Xia Tian took a step back. It was great that someone stood up for her so that she wouldn't have to do it herself.
The key is that she is reluctant to do it herself, for fear that she will be labeled as a bully by the public, which will affect the restaurant.
If County Lady Yunying takes action, it will be none of her business.
Of course, she would remember this favor from County Master Yunying. Although the two of them disliked each other, the favor still had to be repaid.
After a while, the person who first let the cat out of the bag confessed, mainly because he might get beaten even worse if he didn't.
The guards of County Lord Yunying don't care about that and just follow their County Lord's orders.
Xia Tian was watching from the side with a frightened heart. He glanced at County Master Yunying and thought to himself that he should stay away from this person in the future.
This is really cruel!
Fortunately, County Master Yunying didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise she would definitely ridicule her for being petty and not presentable.
Seeing that the question had been asked, the guard picked the man up and threw him to the ground. Yunying County Master raised her chin proudly and gestured to Xia Tian, "Humph, such a small matter requires the intervention of this County Master. What else can you do?"
Xia Tian paused, this really left her speechless.
