Chapter Twenty-Three: Still the Afterhand
Ye Chutang looked at her quietly, thinking to himself, it turned out that this was her real purpose.
said before that the prescription was lost, probably because he couldn't match it, so he directly splashed this basin of dirty water on the head of Ye's Medical Center.
But she didn't expect Ye Chutang to leave a second prescription, so she was caught off guard.
However, it doesn't matter, this trick doesn't work, and there is a next move.
Her medicine that day was clearly not taken from Ye's Medical Hall, but now she dares to say so, which shows that there has been an arrangement.
Seeing that Ye Chutang didn't speak, the woman thought she was frightened, and asked triumphantly, "What, don't you dare?" β
Yang Zhen also looked at Ye Chutang.
At this point, it is impossible not to check the medical hall, if Ye Chutang refuses, it will only prove that she is weak-hearted.
The next moment, he listened to Ye Chutang's calm tone and said, "My Ye Family Medical Center is innocent, and naturally I have nothing to fear. β
Her shoulders were straight, her eyes were clear, and she was full of confidence.
Anyone who sees it will feel that she is indeed honest and unashamed.
However, seeing her reaction, the woman's eyes flashed with a flash of triumphant joy.
Of course, Ye Chutang dares to say this now, but after searching the medical hall later, she may not be so tough!
Yang Zhen immediately ordered: "Check!" β
Ye Chutang's gaze swept over the woman's face silently, and he asked in a loud voice, "Wait." If I don't find anything in the end, it can prove that you are a liar, right? When the time comes, what will you say? β
"How can you not find that medical hallβ" The woman paused and sneered, "If you can't find it, I'll leave it to you!" β
The corners of Ye Chutang's lips are slightly curved.
"In that case, it's decided. You are all witnesses here, and don't be in charge when the time comes. β
Looked at by her dark and clear eyes, the woman's heart was inexplicably panicked.
She took the initiative to stagger her gaze and said stiffly: "Wait until you finish searching the medical hall, see if you still have the courage to say this!" β
β¦β¦
Yip's Medical Center.
Ye Jingyan, Ye Yunfeng and Xiao Wu were waiting in the house together.
Ye Jingyan took out the book left by Sister A, Ye Yunfeng was anxious, pacing back and forth, and Xiao Wu was holding an abacus and looking at the closed door, with a melancholy expression.
- Hey, it's closed, and I can't make any money today.
As if guessing what she was thinking, Ye Jingyan turned a page of the book and handed over a purse.
"It's new."
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, he took the purse, and pinched his two white and tender little hands back and forth several times.
Feeling the heavy weight, the smile on her face became even brighter.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked next door.
- If only they had been living here! In that case, Sister Ah will be able to collect money for a lifetime!
Ye Jingyan glanced over there with her gaze, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Sister Ah said that in the next period of time, we will cover the food and lodging, and Ah Feng will cook for a while, and cook for two more people." β
Ye Yunfeng scratched his head: "Third brother! When is this all gone! You're still thinking about eating! Sister is still in the yamen, I don't know what the situation is! β
Ye Jingyan was not completely worried in his heart, but he believed in Sister A.
"Don't worry, Sister said let's just wait at home, then we'll wait."
Ye Yunfeng sat down on the chair.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden movement outside.
Ye Yunfeng jumped up quickly and glanced at Ye Jingyan: "Is Sister Ah back!?" β
"You look at Xiao Wu, I'll take a look."
Ye Jingyan said, put the book away, got up and walked outside.
β¦β¦
Ye Jingyan didn't expect Sister A to come back so quickly, let alone so many people who accompanied her back.
Especially-the magistrate is also here!
Yang Zhen actually couldn't have come, but there have been several murders in Gangneung recently, and he has to make a gesture to let people know that he is not idle.
In addition, Liu Yiyi specially begged him to pay more attention to Ye Chutang's case this morning, and he readily agreed, and now he naturally wants to follow to investigate.
Ye's medical hall is not big, just one room in front for consultation, and behind it is a boxy courtyard, several bedrooms, and a pharmacy.
Yang Zhen raised his hand, and the officials of the yamen quickly searched separately.
Seeing this scene, Ye Jingyan frowned, walked quickly in front of Ye Chutang, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, what's the situation?" β
Ye Chutang shook his head lightly: "One sentence or two can't be said clearly, let them search first." β
Ye Jingyan had to swallow the rest of the words back.
At that time, Ye Yunfeng, who was originally waiting in the house, saw that there were people coming and going in the yard, where could he still sit still, and he came out with Xiao Wu in his hands.
Seeing Ye Chutang, Xiao Wu let go of Ye Yunfeng's hand, ran towards Ye Chutang with his little short legs, and threw himself directly into her arms.
Ye Chutang rubbed her hair and took her little hand: "Xiao Wu, don't be afraid, they are just here to find something." β
Xiao Wu was a little dazed.
She didn't know any of these people, so why did she come to their house to look for something?
Ye Yunfeng glanced around, and saw that those officials were very rude, and after a while, they made a mess of the originally clean and tidy yard, and suddenly became angry.
He's just cleaned it!
Do you know how much effort it takes to put it back together!
He tried to speak several times, but he endured it again.
Never mind! I can't care about these things at this time!
It's just that......
"Sister, what are they looking for?" Ye Yunfeng really couldn't hold it back, and asked with a twisted eyebrow.
Ye Chutang said: "Of course it's looking for what they want." β
Ye Yunfeng: "......"
Isn't what Sister said in vain? What the hell is this-
"Found it!"
An official suddenly shouted excitedly, and everyone's eyes followed, and they saw him take out a handful of Chuanwu from the medicine cabinet lattice.
Chuanwu is irregular conical in shape, with a swelling on one side, and at first glance, it looks a bit like turmeric.
He put the pieces of Chuanwu under his nose and sniffed: "This thing seems to have been soaked in wine!" β
Chuanwu can be used as medicine, but it has a certain toxicity, especially after soaking in wine, the toxicity is stronger.
The woman jumped almost on the spot: "This is it! There's this in the medicine she grabbed for me that day! β
She immediately looked at Ye Chutang and said sternly: "Ye Chutang!" This is from your medical hall in public, what else do you have to say! β
There was a dead silence in the courtyard.
This is really ironclad evidence, how else can she refute it?
However, at this moment, Ye Chutang suddenly said, "Don't continue to look for it?" β
Everyone was stunned, and even the official who found Chuanwu didn't react immediately.
Ye Chutang raised his chin and said, "Although our yard is not big, there are many people living there, and there are a lot of miscellaneous objects. β
The woman scoffed, "That's enough!" You still want to deny it! β
"Oh?" Ye Chutang blinked, "You mean, just these few soiled pieces of Chuanwu can convict me?" β
The woman's voice was even higher: "Of course! You- wait, what do you mean?! β
Ye Chutang looked sideways at the official who found Chuanwu, and said, "Smell it carefully, what else does it smell on?" β
The man was stunned for a moment, subconsciously approached and sniffed again, and then his face changed slightly.
Yang Zhen looked strange, frowned and asked, "What's wrong!" β
Ye Chutang smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that there should be a smell of tung oil on it." β
She tilted her head slightly, and explained briskly: "Oh, I forgot to say, because I couldn't buy medicinal materials for several days, and there were not many things left in this medicine cabinet, so I simply asked Ah Yan and Ah Feng to clean up the inside, and by the way, re-brushed the layer of tung oil, and refurbished the medicine cabinet." The only bad thing is that this tung oil dries slowly, for a full three hours. If you put something in during this time period, it will be stained with tung oil. β
She seemed to be a little curious, and asked with a slight smile: "I don't know, are there traces on these pieces of Sichuan Wu?" β
