Outside the rain in the small village, beside the setting sun in the countryside, there are no paintings and solitary smoke, leaving nothing but empty space and eternal regret.
As the golden color fell, the county people screamed in shock, the orphan mother's cry echoed, and the old Taoist beside the painting raised his eyebrows.
From the beginning of shock, to the end of silence, until the woman was tired from crying, Magistrate Chai came out of the shed with a look of shock on his face.
"Taoist Priest, you are truly a divine man!"
"Sir, at this moment, I would like to ask who made this fairy water?"
After saying this, Bai Song turned his eyes, glanced at the little girl, and finally landed on the face of Divine Doctor Xue.
Bai Song disdains pretending to be a time traveler, but if someone puts his face in front of him...
It’s time to take a photo!
What kind of miracle doctor is this?
He is clearly a stickman!
How can such a character qualify him to be called a doctor?
It's just that Bai Song underestimated the thickness of this old man's face. Until this moment, hundreds of people looked at him, and his expression remained unchanged, with his head raised, as if nothing had happened before.
Magistrate Chai was a little embarrassed because the other party was a famous doctor in the world and his reputation was still there.
Moreover, today's comparison cannot convince the public when used to decide cases.
Although the Bai Song Dynasty was superior in medical skills, it cannot be proved that the formula of the fairy water was made by the Bai Song Dynasty.
It can only be proved that the fairy water of the Bai Song Dynasty is more effective than the fairy water of Doctor Xue.
Sure enough, Doctor Xue had already discovered the problem in the competition, and said to Song Yi, "I admire Taoist Master's medical skills, but this only proves that Taoist Master's prescription is more effective."
After saying this, many people frowned.
What Doctor Xue said is true, but in the name of a miracle doctor, it would be extremely disrespectful to refuse to admit defeat until now.
His previous attitude of solemnly announcing the prescription was completely different.
Bai Song also took his time, and when he came to the "Professional Anti-Counterfeiting" flag, he smiled and said: "As a professional, you must be professional. Since you still don't admit it, I still have a witness."
"Witness?" Magistrate Chai asked.
Bai Song clapped his hands, and suddenly a gorgeously dressed child squeezed out from the crowd. He was white and fat. Although he was young, he had a lot of clothes. No one knew his name, but he knew he was from an extraordinary family.
"Hey! It's finally my turn!"
When the fat boy came out, he complained, straightened his clothes, and shook his sleeves in an elegant way.
"I can testify that at three o'clock yesterday, this old man sneaked out from Qu's house in the western suburbs. He said he was treating Aunt Qu's illness, but yesterday, Aunt Qu's illness had long been cured. He was not at all
Instead of going to get treatment, I went to buy fairy water."
Yesterday, the Qu family started selling fairy water. Before Chen Shi, not many people knew about it, and few people paid attention to who came to the Qu family's door.
If Divine Doctor Xue really went to Qu's house yesterday, it would contradict Divine Doctor Xue's testimony.
At this time, the crowd started talking again.
"Wait a minute!" Doctor Xue rarely raised his tone, "How can you believe what a young boy says?"
"Old man, who do you think is still young?!"
The fat boy became angry when he heard this and even wanted to hit someone, but luckily he was stopped by the official.
"Hit someone if you disagree with me, what a gangster!" The officer was furious, "I will teach your family a lesson today..."
"Wait a minute!" Magistrate Chai shouted loudly to stop.
"Sir, this boy is too rude..."
Magistrate Chai County was rarely in a hurry, so he pushed the official away and asked the boy politely: "Do you dare to be Mr. Zheng?"
"Humph! That's polite." The fat boy held up his hand, showing a bit of disdain for the county magistrate.
When the people saw it, they were even more curious.
"Who is this kid? He is so arrogant at such a young age?"
"The key is that Mr. Chai is not displeased at all. Instead, he is respectful."
"Master Zheng? Is there any noble son named Zheng in Mang County?"
At this question, everyone in the discussion shook their heads.
Suddenly, someone interrupted and said: "There is no big family named Zheng in Mang County, but there is a big family named Zheng in Jixian County, the capital."
"Zheng family in Jixian County!"
As soon as these four words came out, everyone suddenly understood.
The Zheng family is extraordinary. It is the most famous family in Youzhou. It is also very famous in the Tang Dynasty. Even the Lin family in Mang County cannot be compared with it.
The ancestors of the Zheng family can be traced back to the Zheng State, which was entrusted by King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty. After the fall of the Zheng State, the family took the surname Zheng. During the Eastern Han and Sui Dynasties, it was a famous and prestigious family in the north.
If this little fat man were a descendant of the Zheng family, a small town magistrate would never be able to offend him.
But why did this boy from the Zheng family appear in Mang County?
It's not clear.
The people didn't know the Zheng family for a while, but when Doctor Xue heard "Mr. Zheng" and saw Magistrate Chai's respectful attitude, he immediately knew his identity and his expression changed.
In order to protect his family, Doctor Xue visited Youzhou a few years ago. He wanted to make friends with the head of the Zheng family in Jixian County, but he didn't want to even get in through the Zheng family's door.
If you can get a letter of recommendation from the Zheng family, you don't need to be famous at all, just because the Zheng family is located in the mountains in the north, even the emperor will give the Zheng family some respect.
Normally, Doctor Xue would have gone up and said a few words, but now there was no way back, so he pretended not to know anything.
"I wonder what Mr. Zheng's purpose is in traveling to this county?" Magistrate Chai asked again with a smile.
"Let me ask you, do you believe what I, Zheng Xingzhi, say? I'm here to testify, does it count?"
"Zheng Xingzhi..." Magistrate Chai quickly wiped his sweat when he heard the other party's name.
Although the magistrate of Chaixian County has not seen him, his name has been heard for a long time. The famous dandy in Jixian County has spread to Mang County about his famous deeds in Jixian County, which shows what kind of person he is.
But the other party is the direct grandson of the Zheng family and has a distinguished status. No one in Youzhou dares to make irresponsible remarks.
Can you believe what this guy says?
Magistrate Chai’s first feeling was that he couldn’t believe it.
But how can I express my thoughts?
Maybe even the county magistrate will beat this kid up if he acts up.
I really don’t know how it will end then.
"County magistrate, you have to say it! Can you believe what I say?"
The magistrate of Chai County smiled coquettishly: "I can believe it. Mr. Zheng comes from a famous family, so of course I can believe what he says."
"Okay!" Zheng Xingzhi clapped his hands, "Since you, the county magistrate, have said that you are trustworthy, why don't you arrest this old liar quickly? I saw it with my own eyes yesterday. He went to Qu's house and then went to the house again.
He left secretly. His testimony did not say that he went to Qu's house yesterday. It's obvious that he was lying!"
Magistrate Chai was not sure whether what this boy said was true or false, so he could only ask Doctor Xue: "Is this possible?"
How could Divine Doctor Xue plead guilty? He replied seriously: "There is no such thing! Mr. Zheng, everything requires evidence. Even if you are a member of the Zheng family, you cannot ruin the Zheng family's reputation just by saying something!"
"Old man, what do you mean? I swear to God, I saw it with my own eyes! There is no lie. Are you saying that the Zheng family will slander you?!"
This is not a lie by Zheng Xingzhi, he indeed saw it with his own eyes.
It was God's will that there were very few people when Doctor Xue secretly bought medicine, but that didn't mean there were no people.
Zheng Xingzhi is one of them!
Something happened in Zheng Xingzhi, and a few weak voices came from the crowd, saying that they also saw Doctor Xue going to Qu's house early yesterday morning, but they only looked at him from a distance, and the backs looked very similar, so they couldn't be sure.
Things have changed.
If Zheng Xingzhi was the only one to identify him, Magistrate Chai would not believe it at first, but if there were more than one person to identify him, this matter would be suspicious.
Among the crowd, there are more and more doubtful voices.
Doctor Xue's face also became nervous.
"Look, so many people can testify, so what else do you have to defend yourself?"
At this time, Bai Song also said: "If Doctor Xue went to Qu's house yesterday to buy medicine, then it would be obvious. Doctor Xue clearly bought a pair of fairy water for himself. After tasting it, he relied on his own medicine
With experience, I can imitate a fairy water.
The previous competition was not to distinguish the level of medical skills, but to prove to everyone that because this person did not know the prescription, the fairy water prepared in private was not as effective as the real fairy water. Moreover, this person did not know how to treat epidemics at all, but for
Reputation wants to take credit from others, and the real thief is this old guy!"
Their eyes converged again.
Under the gradually darkening sky, the expression on Doctor Xue's face was no longer visible.
Everyone has his own justice in his heart.
Starting from noon, the scenes in front of them were all recorded in their hearts. At this moment, even if Doctor Xue did not admit it, the balance in their hearts had quietly turned.
Magistrate Chai took a deep breath: "Doctor Xue, what else do you have to say?"
There is no condemnation, but the context of these words is tantamount to condemnation.
"You are talking nonsense! My grandpa would not..." The little granddaughter saw the unkind looks from everyone, but she did not believe that the greatest grandpa would do such a thing, so she shouted loudly.
"Shan'er, there's no need to say anything more. The matter is now over, and grandpa doesn't have to hide it anymore."
"Grandpa..." The little girl raised her head in disbelief, "Could it be...could everything they said be true? It's impossible...it's impossible for grandpa to do such a thing!"
Doctor Xue sighed, the afterglow leaving him with the last trace of helplessness.
Magistrate Chai said solemnly: "Doctor Xue, although it is not a serious crime for you to falsely accuse others, it has ruined your reputation for life!"
"Sir, the old man has his own reasons for being like this."
Bai Song was delighted: "It's so ridiculous. Falsely accusing others, spreading rumors, and deceiving the people. What else can there be to suffer from such evil deeds?"
"The Taoist priest is indeed a talented person. The fairy water prepared by the Taoist priest can cure epidemic diseases and is the savior of the people in Mang County. However, the Taoist priest refused to make the prescription public, but sold it in the market at a high price. The old man was heartbroken after seeing it.
, If not, how could the people of Mang County know the prescription for the fairy water?
Although Laowan's fairy water is fake, he made the medicine in front of everyone in the county government today, and the people saw the whole process of making the fairy water with their own eyes. Although Laowan deceived people, he also deceived the people of Mang County into making the prescription!
Everything Lao Chan did was just to make the fairy water known to the world. My lord, Lao Chan's sin should be dealt with according to the law, no matter how punished it is!
But I...have no regrets!"
"grandfather……"
After listening to Doctor Xue's "hardship", the little granddaughter's eyes were filled with tears. It turned out that grandpa was so great that he actually gave up his own reputation for the sake of the common people!
Although grandpa deceived people, he also came up with the recipe for fairy water for the people of Mang County.
Not only was the little girl trembling physically and mentally, but the people were also shocked by what Doctor Xue said.
How broad-minded and caring is this?
Doctor Xue saves people for the sake of people's livelihood.
Saving people is a business for this Taoist priest!
Although this Taoist priest has great talents, he has no virtue.
Doctor Xue is the one who cares about the world and is a benevolent doctor!
"Talent without virtue!"
A voice came out from the crowd, and Bai Song almost lost his temper because of this old guy.
"This old guy is so shameless! According to the routine of traditional time-travel novels, the plot of pretending to slap you in the face to kill the minions should have ended long ago. Why is the villain villain I encountered so powerful!"
