Upon hearing this, Miao Lang was secretly delighted. It seemed that Jishetang hadn't truly worshipped a god. Why not take this opportunity to make things difficult for them? Even if he couldn't bring Jishetang down, he would at least make them bleed a little.
Thinking of this, he quickly added fuel to the fire, saying, "Madam, you may not know this, but the newly opened Jishetang is quite remarkable. From morning till night, there is a constant stream of people queuing up to see a doctor."
I once did a rough calculation for Jishetang. If each patient cost 100 coins, they would receive at least 200 to 300 patients a day, which would amount to 20 to 30 taels of silver. That would be 1,000 to 1000 taels a month, and tens of thousands of taels a year.
Having made so much money, this Chen fellow doesn't even bother to offer bribes to the county magistrate. Such an ignorant fool needs to be taught a lesson, to let them know who's in charge in Anyang County.
Chen Ruolan said coldly, "Physician Miao, please be careful with your words. Our Magistrate Qin loves the people like his own children and is incorruptible. If a highly skilled doctor comes from the county under his jurisdiction, he should be cherished and protected. How can he be punished arbitrarily?"
Everyone in Anyang knows what kind of person Qin Shousheng is. Now he's even pretending to be a coward. He really wants to be a prostitute and still have a memorial arch erected for him.
Wu Shiren inwardly scorned him, but outwardly he had to put on a show, raising his hand to lightly slap his own mouth a few times.
"Madam's reprimand is absolutely correct; I was being rude."
"Alright, alright, this is between you and me. Don't tell anyone else about it again."
"Yes, yes, I will remember this and will never dare to do it again." Doctor Miao nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Chen Ruolan smiled with satisfaction, "As far as I know, no clinic in Qingshui Town has better medical skills than yours. The newly opened Jishetang is doing very well. Could it be that the doctor there is even more skilled than you?"
Doctor Miao looked resentful. The good business of Huichuntang was entirely due to Li An's consultations, but he couldn't stand his own way of doing things and actually quit and went to Jishetang.
He didn't take Jishetang seriously when he went there, but he didn't expect Chen Qingqing to appear.
He shook his head and sighed softly, "Not just skillful, he's practically a miracle doctor. Not only are the medicines he prescribes strange and unusual, but his methods of treatment are also utterly baffling."
Chen Ruolan's curiosity was piqued. "What's so puzzling about it?"
"Take what happened a few days ago as an example. A man's stomach was ripped open by a wild boar, and his intestines spilled out all over the ground. He was already beyond saving."
To everyone's surprise, Jishetang brought the person into the room, not only stuffed the intestines back in, but also sewed up the stomach like sewing clothes.
My Miao family has practiced medicine for generations, and we've never recorded such a treatment method. I always felt that the female doctor was strange; she didn't seem like a normal person.
"What did you say? She's a female doctor!"
"Yes, she shares your surname, Chen, and her name is Chen Qingqing. She's also from Nanshan Village. It's said that she has a special relationship with the wealthy Fan Tong. You might even know her, Madam!"
Chen Ruolan was startled, her expression changing drastically! The hatred that had been building up in her heart for so long surged up instantly.
If it weren't for that damned brat, she wouldn't have suffered so much.
He thought he could settle accounts with her in Nanshan Village once he had some free time, but unexpectedly, she came to his doorstep.
If we don't ruin her family this time, it would be a disservice to Chen Ruolan for all the suffering she's endured.
An extremely insidious and vicious plan instantly flashed into her mind...
Doctor Miao naturally understood the sarcasm in her words.
He secretly pondered to himself, judging from the implication of her words, it seemed she had some kind of grudge against that girl surnamed Chen.
This is a golden opportunity; we can use the county magistrate's wife to bring down Jishetang.
If you want to use someone else to do your dirty work, you need to understand what kind of grudge exists between them.
Only in this way can we address the root cause and thus ignite the fire.
Chen Ruolan smiled faintly, a ruthless glint in her eyes, "It's more than just knowing her, we're old acquaintances!"
Physician Miao felt a chill run down his spine. It was all over. He had hoped to use the county magistrate to curb the Jishetang's arrogance, but now it seemed that wouldn't work.
His face was full of disappointment. "Madam, the gift has been delivered. I will not disturb you any longer. Farewell!"
"Wait a minute, what's the rush?" Chen Ruolan didn't miss the change in Miao Langzhong's expression. She shook her head and smiled. "Mr. Miao, since your shop's business is bad, aren't you going to think of a solution? Are you just going to watch your business get squeezed out of business?"
Doctor Miao sighed helplessly, "I can't bear it, but my skills are inferior to others, what can I do?"
"When people encounter unpleasant things, it's better to take the initiative than to sit and wait for death."
"Take the initiative? What do you mean by that, Madam?" Doctor Miao asked, looking puzzled.
A barely perceptible sneer appeared on Chen Ruolan's lips. "Since we've known each other for a long time, I'll show you the way. Don't forget, you're a doctor. Getting rid of an opponent shouldn't be a piece of cake for you."
"Please forgive me, Madam. I am truly slow-witted. Please explain yourself more clearly."
"You're really stupid. Use your brain before you act. Think about it carefully. What's the worst thing about running a pharmacy?"
Doctor Miao suddenly realized, "Madam, you mean you want Jishetang to give the person to..."
Chen Ruolan's face was tense. "I didn't say anything, but if you do a good job, I can make Jishetang disappear from Qingshui Town forever."
“The idea is good, but how can we get them involved in a murder case? We can’t just kill someone and dump them at the entrance of Jishetang!” Doctor Miao scratched his head and frowned. “No, no, I absolutely cannot do murder.”
Seeing that his face had turned pale with fright, Chen Ruolan pretended to be angry and snorted coldly, "You really don't know what's good for you. I'm rushing to be your backer, and you're still afraid of everything. With such a cowardly attitude, you'll never amount to anything. I can't help you. You should just leave!"
Physician Miao was somewhat flattered; he hadn't expected Chen Ruolan to offer to be his protector.
As the saying goes, it's easy to get a thousand pieces of gold, but hard to find a noble person.
With the county magistrate's wife backing him up, what is there to be afraid of?
As the saying goes, a petty person is no gentleman, and a man without ruthlessness is no true hero.
To make big money, you have to be ruthless.
Thinking of this, Physician Miao quickly put on a beaming smile.
"Madam, please don't be angry. It's not that I'm afraid, but I want to do things perfectly, so that no one will know and no one will be aware of it, so that you and the magistrate won't have to worry too much."
"So how do you plan to do it without anyone noticing?"
"Well, I really haven't thought of that yet. I'll let you know when I come up with a good idea."
Chen Ruolan didn't want to wait a moment longer; she wished she could kill Chen Qingqing right now. She gave a disdainful snort.
"You're incredibly stupid. Since you had a way to get your hands on the potion, why didn't you tamper with it and switch it out?"
