Chapter 166 - 166 Report
That man didn’t expect that Mo Ruyue was actually serious and immediately panicked. However, when he thought of the person who had passed the news to him, he more or less gained some courage.
If he really went to court, he should be fine. After all, that person had patted his chest. He guaranteed.
“It’s not your fault for starting rumors, but you’re wrong for spreading rumors and adding fuel to the fire? If someone were to believe your rumors, wouldn’t that be hurting me? When you were criticizing me, you seemed to be very righteous, but now that I am talking about going to court, you’re scared?”
Mo Ruyue’s heart-wrenching words came one after another, and that person simply couldn’t resist them. In the end, he used a move that everyone despised.
He was originally sitting on the ground and had not stood up. Now, he simply fell back and sneaked away with his eyes closed. He groaned in pain.
“No, I’m going to die. Someone, come and save me!”
Some of the surrounding commoners couldn’t stand it anymore and said sarcastically, “You’re in Huichun Hall right now. There are so many doctors in the hall. Do you think you’ll die?”
“I think you’d better quickly apologize to Madam Qin and let her treat your face. With such thick skin, let her give you a few more slaps, and at least you can peel it off a little!”
His words immediately caused a burst of laughter in the hall, but Mo Ruyue and Imperial Doctor Tian’s faces were still cold from the beginning to the end. This also caused the laughter to not last for long. Very quickly, it gradually became softer and finally completely disappeared.
Imperial Doctor Tian’s expression was very unsightly. It was not that he had not thought about the consequences of hiring Du Zhongheng, but he had not thought that other than the babies’ futures, there was someone who was using Mo Ruyue’s widow identity to make a fuss.
Not only was he not giving Mo Ruyue a way out, he even planned to make her carry the infamy forever after she died.
“Since there is no response from Madam Qin’s complaint, then this old man can not sit idly by. I was the one who introduced this person to Madam Qin, but now he is being framed to harm Madam Qin’s reputation and life. If this old man just stands by and does nothing, how can I be considered a person?”
He had always been gentle and kind, and the ending of his sentence just now was already very rude. Even so, it was enough to make everyone’s jaws drop and their eyeballs roll to the ground.
From Imperial Doctor Tian’s words, he also wanted to get involved in this matter?
Everyone’s doubts were quickly explained. Imperial Doctor Tian actually sat down and directly picked up his brush to quickly write a complaint.
The ink in his hand hadn’t dried yet, and it dripped down and formed two big words “complaint”. It was clearly displayed in front of everyone. The ink that dripped down even gave people a feeling of hostility.
“Imperial Doctor Tian, are you also going to report to the officials? But, what are you going to sue him for?”
Someone asked hesitantly.
Speaking of which, although Du Zhongheng was introduced to Madam Qin by Imperial Doctor Tian, he didn’t seem to have much say in the matter of “catching the adulterer”. After all, he might not know what Madam Qin did with Du Zhongheng in private.
“Naturally, I want to sue some people for spreading rumors. Not only did they damage Madam Qin’s reputation, but they also wanted to frame me for being unkind and unjust, and I’m doomed for all eternity. In that case, I naturally can’t wait for death without doing anything!”
After Imperial Doctor Tian finished speaking, he passed the accusation to the assistant beside him and said to the patient who had not finished his diagnosis, “I’ll continue to treat everyone. After the people in the line here are done, they’ll go to the government office to submit their complaints!”
As he spoke, the man who had been lying on the ground had gotten up and was retreating step by step, as if he wanted to sneak into the crowd and escape when no one was looking.
However, Mo Ruyue had been staring at him the whole time. How could she let him escape so easily? Seeing this, she took a few steps forward, took a bandage, shook it, and wrapped it around the man’s wrist.
“Hey, what are you doing? Do you still want to hit me?”
He was so scared that he dodged backward again, but his wrist was already firmly wrapped in bandages. Mo Ruyue pulled him, he staggered and fell in front of her.
“You want to run? Where do you think you’re running to before you even made yourself clear?”
At this time, this man’s intestines were already green with regret. He originally thought that he would be able to retreat after mocking Mo Ruyue with a few words. He didn’t expect that he would be trapped in a dilemma now. It looked like he had to go to this Yamen.
He subconsciously turned his head and looked around the crowd, hoping to find the person who patted his chest. But where could he find the face that had already disappeared in the crowd?
Mo Ruyue looked at him and knew that there was definitely someone watching in the dark. The purpose was to see if he had achieved the effect he had expected. However, looking at the current development of the situation, it was impossible to find that person.
She didn’t search the crowd directly like the man, but slowly searched through the corner of her eye. However, there were already a lot of people gathered to watch the show, so she couldn’t find anything.
“Everyone, leave. There’s nothing to see here. Don’t disturb us while we’re doing consultation.”
The little medicine boys and girls in Huichun Hall stood up one after another and began to maintain order. Mo Ruyue was still holding the bandage around the man’s wrist, with no intention of letting him go.
“Madam Qin, even if you want to go against me, don’t tell me you don’t care about those people who came to line up for you to treat them?”
The man saw that he couldn’t avoid it now, so he immediately changed his strategy. He wanted to continue to draw others to his side and put some pressure on Mo Ruyue.
“If I can’t even protect my own reputation, how can I say that I’m treating and saving others? I believe that everyone can understand me and won’t make things difficult for me on this point.”
As soon as Mo Ruyue said this, the patients who were originally on her side all agreed.
“We can’t die in our current situation, but if Madam Qin is convicted of adultery, then she will be paraded on the streets and then drowned in the pond. Isn’t that a living human life?”
Yes, yes. We can come back to see the doctor in three days, but if she is instigated by someone, it’s hard to say if she can survive three days!
Seeing that everyone seemed to be on Mo Ruyue’s side again, the man who was looking for trouble was angry, anxious, and helpless. He did not cause any trouble for Mo Ruyue but instead, he got himself in trouble.
What the hell is this!
“What? Imperial Doctor Tian has also written a complaint and is about to hand it over?”
When the county magistrate heard the news from his private advisor, he immediately slammed the table and stood up. He stared at him with his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to hear him say that this was fake news.
“Yes, our people saw it with their own eyes, and all the onlookers at that time saw it. If it wasn’t for the long queue of people, Imperial Doctor Tian would have come to the government office with Madam Qin.”
