Chapter 121: Seeing is Believing
Everyone was surprised and sighed that their luck was not too bad at all, and they couldn't help but look at the person with the worst luck. There are not a few people who have been injured, some are whiplashes, some are falls, some are stepping injuries, and some are serious, and some people have broken bones because of this. But they were all luckier than one man, who was trampled by a horse and died with a whimper.
Judging by the situation, this person is originally from the capital, and he also came to watch the martial arts competition with his family and friends. Seeing that he was killed at the scene, his family and friends gathered around. In fact, Dr. Zhong had already examined his body and determined that he was too injured to recover, so he temporarily placed him aside and turned to treat other patients.
Now, hearing Princess Xian say this, the relatives and friends of the deceased have lost a living person after all, how can they give up because they can get compensation from the other party. They cried bitterly while looking at Princess Xian, and some people stood up suddenly, and they were about to rush over to settle accounts with Princess Xian, maybe one life for one life is what they really want.
However, this reckless and enthusiastic young man had only just stood up when he already felt the murderous aura sweeping from all directions. One of them is the idle prince, and there have been rumors about his various bad deeds for a long time, and the people on this street have heard of him at least once or twice, if not with their own eyes.
There was even more murderous energy, which came from the royal guards who rode high on horseback. For such a well-known and mysterious group, it is only known that they exist, and there are very few legends about them. But needless to say, what they did has just been staged, and the devastating evidence is still around.
Whether it is the idle prince or the imperial guard, for them, if they can kill one person and watch this person die in pain in front of them, they can naturally kill the second person in the same way. In fact, it may not matter to them how many people they kill. At this moment, their murderous aura also fully proves this.
Even Princess Xian, although she noticed that this young man's intentions were not good, so she was looking at the young man's side, but her cold eyes exposed outside the white veil were also telling that she was not afraid at all, so if she had the ability, just come over.
In this way, the young man's enthusiasm had to cool down quickly, and even the people around him knew that the young man was scared and timid, and they didn't dare to say anything, and even the crying voice became a lot quieter. The young man squatted down again, looking at the dead who lay on the ground without breath, and did not know whether it was his friend or a relative. Maybe he blames himself for not having the ability or guts to avenge the dead, but other than that, he really can't do anything.
Even if the other ordinary people can't accept the solution proposed by Xian Wangfu just now, it is better than nothing. Not to mention that they were all cowardly when they saw this young man, they didn't dare to come forward. No one wants to be the center of attention for the Idle King and the Imperial Guards.
What else do they have to say, even if it is the family of the innocent ordinary man who was trampled to death, they can only accept it except to accept it.
Murder pays for life, and the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, which is true. But no one really believes that. The people who already lived at the feet of the Son of Heaven were already accustomed to the arrogance and rampant killing of innocents by high-ranking officials and nobles. Perhaps the solution proposed by Princess Xian today is already the best way out for both parties.
Doctor Zhong naturally thought of this, and I have to say that the time he came into contact with King Xian and Princess Xian before, he still had a faint good impression of them. However, he still wanted to clarify one thing first, "Princess Xian, the villain dared to ask how the patient who had been treated by the villain that day was doing recently?" He looked at Liu Qingyan seriously and carefully, and couldn't miss even the slightest change in her expression.
Liu Qingyan had nothing to hide, and replied calmly: "Thank you Dr. Zhong for your concern, the younger brother is still healing in the house." The skin injuries are almost healed, and there are no scars left. It's just that his leg hurts, and it still has to be delayed for a little longer. However, with Dr. Lao Zhong's concern, the younger brother's injury will definitely heal. "The doctor in the Xianwang Mansion has actually been unsure that Jian Jiu's leg injury will be fully recovered after it is healed, and there is still a possibility that he will be a little lame and lame. But Liu Qingyan just hopes that he can return to normal, after all, he is only a seventeen-year-old boy, and he still has most of his life left, so he can't just become a cripple.
"That's it, that's fine." Dr. Zhong was sure that what she said was true, and he didn't deceive himself. Knowing that the young man had indeed been well taken care of by the Xian Wangfu, he had a little more trust in the Xian Wang and the Xian Wangfu in his heart. He looked at the white jade pendant in his arms again, which shimmered with a warm and jade-like light, and picked it up with one hand.
He first looked at the people around him who were also looking at him, and said, "Everyone, the surname of the contemptible person is Zhong, and the single name is an inscription. These two are contemptible apprentices. When he said this, he also stretched out his hand and pointed to the two apprentices who were gathering beside him, and then continued: "The three of the contemptible master and apprentice practice medicine and ask for medicine, and the medical hall is open on the street next door. Many of the people here today are also familiar with others or have been treated in the contemptible medical hall and bought medicine, if you can trust the contemptible Zhong Ming, it will be up to the contemptible to make a decision for everyone, how about it? ”
He was the candidate personally selected by Princess Xian, but he was indeed the only candidate among the people present who had the trust of ordinary people. It's not that there are no officials at the scene, but I'm afraid that everyone will be more suspicious, and the words "officials protect each other" are enough for everyone to question and abandon them. If the monk can't run away from the temple, they trust this doctor Zhong for a while.
In fact, looking at the jade pendant held in Dr. Zhong's hand, many ordinary people also guessed what decision Dr. Zhong would make, and it was better than nothing. And they are just ordinary people, even if they don't want to give up their lives, they will always be unable to fight the idle prince and the imperial guards, not to mention the current saint represented by the two of them.
Thinking of this, the people could only say: "Everything is decided by Dr. Zhong." ”
After getting everyone's unanimous agreement, Doctor Zhong nodded at Liu Qingyan and said, "Lord, princess, put away this jade pendant villain for the time being, and ask the prince and princess to do what they say!" ”
"It's nature!" Liu Qingyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she looked around at the people around her, and even bent down and bowed, "Everyone, please forgive me." "Her sincerity is quite complete. The last bow, not to mention Dr. Zhong and the people around him, Xuanyuan Yichen was shocked, and there had never been a princess who had ever bowed to ordinary people. And he himself, except for the previous emperor, even in front of the current saints, he has never bowed so humbly. But Liu Qingyan did this, that is, on behalf of himself, seeing this scene, he only felt that his heart was very uncomfortable, and he didn't even know what he should do in the next scene.
Time could not be delayed, Dr. Zhong continued to treat the patients around him, and these ordinary people seemed to accept it except for being shocked by Liu Qingyan's bow, and their resentment disappeared a lot.
Liu Qingyan saw that it was almost over, turned around and walked towards the carriage. Xuanyuan Yichen stretched out his hand, shook hands with her, and led her up. The two men returned to the carriage, and the carriage continued to move forward, and the men and horses on both sides continued to escort the left and right. It's just that maybe everyone has learned a lesson, and no one runs to the middle of the road anymore, and obediently gets out of the way of a wide road. And this team of carriages and horses is not in a hurry or slow, for fear of creating any more chaos and accidents.
The three carriages lined up in front and back, as well as dozens of horses and horses on the left and right and the imperial guards on horseback, with the group of people and horses set off again, the horses' hooves running, the wheels turning, and the horsewhips in their hands waving, bringing up a lot of smoke and dust.
