Chapter 21: Confession

When the neighbors gathered in Miaochun Hall saw that Zhu Wujiu confessed, they pointed at him and scolded him.

"Okay, you Zhu Wujiu, I originally thought you were an honest woodcutter, but I didn't expect to do such a thing!"

"That's it, where did Doctor Yan Zixi provoke you, you want to harm others like this?"

"Bah, I almost believed you! Dr. Yan Zixi treats us people diligently, and sometimes gives us free medicine, you are so bloody! ”

"Fortunately, Young Master Cheng is here, otherwise we would really have wronged the good people today......"

Hearing the discussion of the surrounding crowd, Zhu Wujiu kowtowed to Cheng Yicai in front of him, and pleaded bitterly.

"Young Master Cheng, I am innocent! I am innocent, I was also forced, Young Master Cheng begged you to spare me, right? This has nothing to do with me! ”

"Spare you?" Cheng Yicai snorted coldly, raised his hand and picked up Zhu Wujiu on the ground, as if carrying a chick, "Say, who instructed you?!" ”

Zhu Wujiu lowered his head and hesitated, as if he didn't want to confess to the mastermind behind the scenes.

At the same time, seeing that Song Yuanlin, who had the wrong momentum, dropped the broom in his hand, he slipped out of the gate.

It seems that Zhu Wujiu will have to confess himself sooner or later, so Song Yuanlin is smart not to wait for the matter to be revealed, and to slip away.

"Damn Yan Zixi, you wait for me, this matter won't end like this!" Before Song Yuanlin left, he glared fiercely at Yan Zixi in the crowd, and his teeth were even more clenched.

……

"Why, you still don't want to say yes, do you? I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin? ”

Cheng Yicai saw that Zhu Wujiu was still there, hesitating, and even if he was impatient, he was about to whip him with his hands open.

Zhu Wujiu was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged for mercy, he didn't dare to cover it up anymore, and quickly said the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Young Master Huicheng, it was Song Yuanlin and Doctor Song who instructed the little one to do this!"

"What?!"

Everyone present, including Yan Zixi and the old doctors in Miaochuntang, were all shocked.

An old doctor who had a good relationship with Song Yuanlin stepped forward and pointed at Zhu Wujiu and scolded bitterly.

"You don't want to talk nonsense! I have worked with Dr. Song for a year, and I know very well what kind of person he is, and it is absolutely impossible for him to do such a reluctant! I didn't expect you to wronged our Dr. Yan and not say it, and now you want to insult our Dr. Song, I think you want to ruin the century-old reputation of our Miaochun Hall! ”

"The old doctor is wronged, what the little one said is true! It was Dr. Song who was demoted to a servant last time because of Dr. Yan's affairs, and he has always held a grudge, so he wants to take revenge on Dr. Yan Zixi. He gave me two taels of silver, and said that he would have three taels of silver to take after the deed was done. ”

"What...... What the?! When the old doctor heard this, his face turned blue with anger, and his steps were a little unsteady on his feet.

Song Yuanlin was brought over by him, and he also strongly recommended him to Yan Wenyuan as a doctor in the court, but now when he heard these remarks, he naturally felt a little incredible, and he couldn't believe that it was true.

"You...... Are you telling the truth? ”

"Back to the old doctor, what the little one said is all true, if there is a lie, I will not be able to die with five thunders in the sky!" Zhu Wujiu also gave up for his own life, and did not hesitate to swear a poisonous oath.

"Nope! No way! There is absolutely no way, Song Yuanlin would never do such a thing......" The old doctor shook his head, still refusing to believe it.

Yan Zixi, who had not spoken, reminded on the side: "Doctor Li, I can understand your feelings. But since he said that Dr. Song did it, it is better to let Dr. Song come out to confront him, I remember that he came to the hospital today, and I have seen him. ”

When Doctor Li heard Yan Zixi's words, he calmed down a little.

When Cheng Yicai saw this, he immediately said loudly: "Go, go and bring Song Yuanlin over to meet me, I want to confront me face to face!" ”

"Yes!"

Hearing this, several officials under Cheng Yicai immediately replied respectfully, and then searched for them in the courtyard with a group of subordinates from Miaochun Hall.

But after looking for a while, there was still no trace of Song Yuanlin.

Several officials had no choice but to come back and report.

"Young Master Qicheng, we have searched the entire Miaochun Hall, but we have not found Song Yuanlin's whereabouts."

Cheng Yicai hooked the corners of his mouth, sneered, and turned to look at the old doctor Li, "Old doctor Li, you also heard it, Miao Chuntang couldn't find Song Yuanlin's whereabouts up and down, presumably he heard some rumors, and he had already absconded in fear of crime, right?" ”

"This ......" Old Doctor Li was speechless for a while when he heard this, so he had to sigh with hatred, "I really didn't expect that Song Yuanlin would do such a ridiculous thing, it really disgraced our Miaochun Hall...... Alas...... The old man taught such a student, and he was shameless to gain a foothold in heaven and earth......"

Old Doctor Li burst into tears, and Yan Zixi hurriedly walked over to comfort him when he saw this.

"Doctor Li, this matter has nothing to do with you, I know that you are highly respected, and you feel guilty for teaching people like Song Yuanlin. But now that it's happened, you don't have to blame yourself for it......"

"Zixi ......" Old Doctor Li's old eyes were moist, and his hands trembled and clenched Yan Zixi's hand.

I thought that I had targeted Yan Zixi with the people of the Yan family before, but I didn't expect that people not only did not hold grudges, but repaid grievances with virtue, so why didn't he be moved.

What's more, Yan Zixi's medical skills are simply ancient and modern, and the doctors in the entire Miaochun Hall may not be able to match her in the slightest.

He really couldn't understand why Yan Zixi, who had been unknown for more than ten years, suddenly showed an amazing talent in medical skills?

Or has she been hiding her strength all along?

Countless questions filled the mind of this old doctor Li, but at the moment, in addition to gratitude, only guilt remained.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Wujiu also hurriedly begged for mercy for himself: "Young Master Cheng, Dr. Li, Dr. Yan, the little one has already told everything that happened, and I have confessed to the mastermind, this matter really has nothing to do with me, please let go of the little one, the little one has an eighty-year-old mother and an eight-year-old child, if I have three longs and two shorts, who will feed the orphans and widows!" ”

Although Yan Zixi was jealous and hateful, she was very kind-hearted, and when she heard Zhu Wujiu say such a sad thing about herself, she couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart.

Although there were some suspicions of selling miserably, Yan Zixi also knew that Zhu Wujiu was indeed only bought by Song Yuanlin, and at most he could only be regarded as an accomplice.

Thinking of this, Yan Zixi had already moved to intercede with him, and when she was about to open her mouth to Cheng Yicai, Cheng Yicai snorted coldly.

"Hmph, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, come on, take Zhu Wujiu to the county government prison for a few days of reflection!"

"Yes!"

"Ah, Young Master Cheng, spare your life, spare your life, the little one doesn't want to be imprisoned, Young Master Cheng ......"

Cheng Yicai didn't bother to look at him, and waved his hand directly at his servant, "Take it away for me!" ”

When several officials heard this, they grabbed Zhu Wujiu and dragged him out forcefully.

When the people present saw this, they applauded one after another.

"I used to hear that Young Master Cheng was a bastard boy who caused trouble everywhere, but now it seems that he is fair and not bad!"

"Yes, this time it's thanks to Young Master Cheng being here, otherwise Dr. Yan would have been wronged!"

Cheng Yicai heard everyone's praise and seemed to be very satisfied.

He walked in front of everyone, cleared his throat and said, "Fathers and fellow villagers, this matter has been properly resolved, everyone should disperse and go about your own business." ”

When everyone heard this, they each withdrew from Miaochun Hall, and they were still talking about something there, and it seemed that what happened today could become their after-dinner conversation again.

After everyone dispersed, several old doctors in Miaochun Hall thanked Cheng Yicai one after another.

Although Yan Zixi didn't have a good impression of this Cheng Yicai, she also came over and thanked him when she saw that she was helping her just now.

"Cheng Gongzi, today's incident is really thanks to you for coming in time, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do, thank you!" Yan Zixi learned from the old doctors, and also arched her hand, and Chong Cheng Yi clasped his fists and saluted.

Cheng Yicai raised his eyebrows, and quickly helped Yan Zixi up, and those thick big hands didn't know whether they touched Yan Zixi intentionally or unintentionally.

Yan Zixi withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

Cheng Yicai hurriedly smiled and said, "I heard that the person who rescued me from Hades last time was you!" I really didn't expect that our Dr. Yan would be such a young and beautiful girl. ”

Saying that, Cheng Yicai closed the feather fan, bowed to Yan Zixi and said: "Xiaosheng Cheng Yicai has seen Dr. Yan Zixi Yan, thank Dr. Yan for saving his life, Yicai doesn't think it will be repaid, I don't know if Miss Zixi can enjoy her face and go back to the house with me, Yicai will carry the banquet and thank you......"

Well?

Hey, we've just met, and you're going to let me come to the door? Is there a mistake?

Yan Zixi hurriedly shook her head and replied resolutely: "Cheng Gongzi, I understand your kindness, but saving lives and helping the injured is the duty of our medical practitioners, and there is nothing to thank me, I should do it." Even if it wasn't you Cheng Gongzi who was lying on the sickbed at that time, and if you changed to other Zhang Gongzi, Li Gongzi, Zixi would definitely not die without help. ”

Yan Zixi is a straightforward person, she will say whatever she wants, and these words also directly indicate her attitude.

Several old doctors felt that it was a little inappropriate for Yan Zixi to reject Cheng Yicai like this, but they didn't know what to say when the words came to their lips.

When Cheng Yi heard this, a trace of anger inadvertently flashed on his face, but it was soon fleeting.

Cheng Yicai still maintained an elegant demeanor, he straightened up, and said with a faint smile: "Since Miss Zixi is inconvenient, Yicai will never be embarrassed, it is really a blessing for Yicai to be able to see Miss Zixi's true face." It's not early today, Yicai still has something to say goodbye, and I will definitely come to visit Miss Zixi again in the future! ”

Saying that, Cheng Yicai glanced at his family, and the family took out a money bag and handed it to Yan Zixi, and then followed Cheng Yicai out of Miaochun Hall.

"Young Master, are you just leaving?" Jia Ding chased him out and asked in a low voice in front of Cheng Yicai.

"Hmph, the woman I want to get has never been unavailable!"
