What did he do in Chapter 40?
After being in jail for half a day, Lu Qingqing became friends with "Xiao Qiang".
This cell is no place for a human being; it's stinky and damp.
When you come in, you need to change into prison clothes, and your bag is taken away.
Fortunately, she had hidden the silver notes and silver needles in her waistband beforehand.
The prison uniform was filthy, with dark red bloodstains on it.
Lu Qingqing couldn't take it anymore.
She can't stay here, otherwise there won't be anyone left tomorrow.
"Guards! Is anyone here? I need to see your magistrate's son!"
"You want to see our county magistrate's son? Who do you think you are?"
A jailer with swollen eyelids and bulging eyes came in carrying a wine jug and peanuts and sat down at the table.
He casually tossed peanuts into his mouth while glancing at Lu Qingqing.
That gaze was clearly an assessment, and it was malicious.
Lu Qingqing knew she couldn't stay any longer.
"Then go and fetch Young Master Fu. I have something important to tell him, it concerns the life of your magistrate's son!"
Don't blame me for not warning you; if there's a delay, you won't be able to afford the consequences.
"Ha!" The jailer took a swig of wine. "A country girl, what a big mouth she has!"
Just you wait! If the higher-ups don't release you in three days, you're finished!
He spoke with a pointed tone, his gaze sweeping over Lu Qingqing again, making her feel like she was being stared at by a toad, utterly disgusting.
Another jailer ran in, his face beaming with joy, and whispered something in his ear.
"Boss, she has a silver hairpin and a silver bracelet in her bag... and her family just sent some silver in."
"Oh? How much?"
"One tael, they said they're raising money and will send more later, asking us to look after our daughter."
The prison warden glanced at Lu Qingqing with surprise.
Unexpectedly, the family still had some money, so they decided to leave her alone for the time being.
Lu Qingqing heard it clearly and couldn't stay still any longer.
All the family's money was used to buy medicine, and there was nothing left. I'm afraid my father and brother are extremely worried.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
She softened her tone. "Brother jailer, have you been experiencing night sweats, heart palpitations, and insomnia lately? And you've also lost a lot of weight compared to before?"
How did you know?
"To be honest, I know medicine. Last time I saw your magistrate's son faint on the mountain, I even saved him."
Young Master Fu has misunderstood me. Please call him over so I can explain.
"If the jailer helps me pass on a message, I'll treat you for free."
The jailer has already taken three taels of silver worth of medicine, but his condition has not improved.
I was still skeptical, but decided to send a message anyway.
Unfortunately, the message was delivered, but Fu Leng didn't come.
He also said: "If that woman knew medicine, then everyone in the world would be a doctor."
Lu Qingqing cursed Chunzhu dozens of times in anger.
At that moment, Fu Leng was throwing a tantrum in the magistrate's son's room.
Dingxiang and Ding Hongshi tried everything, but they couldn't wake the magistrate's son.
The two claimed that the patient's condition had worsened and that they were powerless to help.
After examining him, Dr. Pang pointed out: "After the last acupuncture, the young master's pulse was stable, and it seemed that a lot of toxic blood had been expelled. This time... there was no effect whatsoever."
Moreover, looking at the acupuncture points, they are clearly common health-preserving acupoints.
The young woman's technique was not very skillful, leaving obvious blood spots.
She is clearly not the one to heal the young master!
Ding Hongshi and Ding Xiang turned pale, their eyes flashing rapidly.
Fu Leng drew a soft sword from his waist and pressed it against Ding Xiang's throat.
"Speak! Who saved my young master?!"
"I...I...I'll talk!"
Dingxiang was limp and trembling, and it took her a long time to be able to speak again.
"Yes... I saw Lu Qingqing coming from that direction. She... she's the wicked woman from our village. I was afraid she'd done something bad again, so..."
So I went to check, thinking that the magistrate's son had been harmed by her, so I took out my needles. My father only taught me moxibustion for health preservation. I had just finished inserting the needles when you arrived, and the young master woke up..."
As she spoke, Dingxiang became increasingly composed.
In her haste, she managed to weave a flawless story.
Ding Hongshi felt relieved.
They were just trying to save lives, so even if they didn't do anything right, they shouldn't be blamed.
Fu Leng thought about it, and it seemed that was the situation when he went there.
"Who is Lu Qingqing? Is she also a female doctor?"
"No, no, she..."
The father and daughter recounted all the bad things Lu Qingqing had done.
Finally, he added, "I heard that recently people have started treating patients haphazardly, using prescriptions they've never even heard of. It's clearly like they're testing drugs on people; aren't they afraid of causing someone's death?"
Physician Pang suggested, "Why don't we call Lu Qingqing over and ask her? Perhaps she has seen the person who saved the young master."
Or perhaps, by sheer chance, one of the young master's acupoints was stimulated.
In truth, young master's days are numbered; even if he were to try anything recklessly, it would be...
However, he dared not say it aloud.
Fu Leng said to Ding Hongshi, "Get lost!"
Then he called Mo Lang, who was guarding outside, to go to Liuyun Village and bring Lu Qingqing over.
An hour later, Mo Lang returned and said coldly, "He's in jail."
What?
A woman has been imprisoned!
What a wicked woman!
"Master Fu, Master Mo."
Xu Hengzhi, the magistrate of Ming'an County, who was over fifty years old, arrived in his official robes.
"Master Fu, it's like this, what serious crime did the woman you sent to prison today commit?"
"What's wrong?"
"That's right, his father and two brothers beat the grievance drum together, causing quite a stir. Now all the people are gathered there, wanting to see how this case will be handled, so..."
He'll come and ask.
Xu Hengzhi was extremely respectful to Fu Leng and Mo Lang, behaving like a subordinate.
No one could enter the courtyard without orders, so no one witnessed this scene.
"Ha, this ugly woman is lucky. Last time she had her pregnant sister-in-law protecting her, and this time her father and brothers are here too."
"But it hasn't even been a day yet! Let her stay for two days before releasing her; she needs to learn her lesson!"
"Yes, I will take care of it right away."
"Wait a minute," Fu Leng called out to Xu Hengzhi.
"Is there a woman named Lu Qingqing in the prison? What did she do wrong? Bring her out; I have questions for her."
Xu Hengzhi: "..."
"Master Fu, the woman you arrested is named Lu Qingqing."
So, what exactly did she do wrong?
