Forced into a substitute marriage? The concubine’s unparalleled medical skills amaze the world

When Xue Yang arrived, Ling Shuming still had a gloomy face.

An Er just bowed his hands and did not kneel down.

He kicked Ling Shuming on the ground and said, "Sir, this thief actually wanted to poison my master and mistress."

"Luckily I caught you."

"Please, sir, give this thief a thorough trial to see if he has killed anyone else."

Xue Yang glanced at Ling Shuming lying on the ground, and slammed the gavel in his hand: "You bold thief, are you planning to poison his master and mistress as this warrior said?"

"Yes and no!"

Xue Yang's voice was stern, and contained a certain authority of an official.

But this majesty did not last long. When he met Ling Shuming's gloomy gaze, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

How could he forget that this bastard had drugged him!

What if I make him unhappy and he doesn't give me the antidote?

Xue Yang swallowed: "Hmm..."

He turned his gaze to An Er: "Do you have any evidence?"

"If there is no evidence to prove that the people in the hall poisoned you, then it is a false accusation and you will be punished with a beating."

A sneer appeared on An Er's face: "I saw it with my own eyes and caught it myself, isn't that evidence?"

Xue Yang originally wanted to make friends with Zhou Jingxuan and his group of outsiders, but the current situation only allowed him to make one of the two choices.

If you want to make friends, just follow their words.

Anyone kidnapped by them today would be easy to deal with, even Master Liu or Wu Yong.

He would convict the person for the sake of maintaining good relations between the two parties, but this person was Ling Shuming. He did not like Ling Shuming, but his life was in his hands!

He can't just ignore his own life.

In this way, he could only save Ling Shuming.

He is the official of Huai County. He is the god in this place. Whoever he says is innocent is innocent!

Xue Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "Untie the man in the hall and listen to his explanation."

"I am the father and mother of Huai County. I cannot just listen to you. This would be biased."

An Er crossed his arms across his chest. He looked at Xue Yang with a half-smile, but did not stop Xue Yang from having Ling Shuming untied.

At this moment, Ling Shuming posed no threat to him at all, as the poison in his body had been completely cleared last night.

Even though his body had been washed, it was absolutely impossible for there to be any poison hidden on him.

So it doesn't matter even if he is untied.

It was because of the humiliating treatment last night that Ling Shuming had a stern face.

These beasts had no shame at all. They stripped off all his clothes and even searched between his fingers and toes!

Finally, she looked at him with disdain.

It's so deceiving!

So the moment he was released, he pounced towards An Er.

Last night they were on their territory, they were so numerous and powerful that he was powerless to resist.

Now Ling Shuming felt that he didn't need to be afraid anymore. He rushed forward and was about to beat An Er. He no longer had any poison to use, so he could only use the most primitive fighting method.

However, she didn't expect that she had just pounced over and before she could touch the corner of his clothes, she was kicked away.

Ling Shuming fell heavily to the ground, splashing up the dust on the ground.

He cried out in pain and then heard An Er say slowly: "Look, sir, this man actually wants to hit me."

"You are a good official. You will not protect such a person."

Xue Yang looked between the two of them, then said, "What you said is wrong. Didn't they hit him?!"

"But you, you intentionally beat someone in court, what crime should you be charged with?"

After saying this, Xue Yang's mouth corners raised a little, he finally found a reason to deal with this guy!

"Whether he is guilty or not is another matter, but you are contemptuous of the court and you should be punished!"

After saying that, he looked at An Er smugly and said, "Come here, hold this guy down and give him twenty big beatings!"

An Er had a calm expression on his face; he already knew what kind of person Xue Yang was.

He was not afraid at all when facing these yamen runners with only mediocre skills.

In just a few breaths, those yamen runners were lying on the ground wailing like Ling Shuming.

Xue Yang frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Don't you want to live?"

An Er glanced at Ling Shuming coldly and said in a harsh voice: "Master Xue has great authority."

Then an angry voice came from outside the door: "Xue Yang, you are so brave!"

Just as Xue Yang was about to retort, he saw a figure walking in from outside.

When he saw who it was, panic suddenly appeared on his face, and he walked over humbly: "Master He, why are you here!"

The visitor was Xue Yang's immediate superior, He Yaozhi, the prefect of Jingzhou.

It was quite a coincidence that He Yaozhi had gone home to visit his relatives and happened to receive the news from Zhou Jingxuan.

When he knew that Xue Yang wanted to kill Zhou Jingxuan, he felt like his head didn't even belong to him anymore.

This man is so bold that he actually wants to kill the Regent!

So he rushed over without stopping. He Yaozhi's hometown was next to Huai County. The distance between the two places was not far and he could get there in half a day.

He Yaozhi shook off his hand that was about to support him and said coldly, "I didn't know that Lord Xue was an official like this."

"This is the first time I have seen such a method of confusing right and wrong and calling a horse a zebra."

"I still remember the article about people's livelihood written by Lord Xue vividly, but how did you become like this now?"

As soon as these words came out, Xue Yang's face suddenly showed panic, and sweat oozed from his palms.

He had already forgotten that past event, but it now resurfaced in his mind.

Xue Yang suppressed his uneasiness and said with a smile: "Your Excellency doesn't know."

"This person was extremely arrogant. He beat the suspect while I was still here."

"We can't draw a conclusion based on his one-sided statement alone!"

An Er watched him walk up to Ling Shuming and asked, "Did you sneak around last night and try to poison and kill my master and mistress?"

Ling Shuming looked at An Er with humiliation and then argued: "I just had nothing to do at night, so I went out for a walk."

"Who knew that he would suddenly catch me, take me into the yard and humiliate and beat me."

Ling Shuming looked aggrieved and shouted, "It's unfair, sir. I didn't do anything, but he brought me here."

An Er knew that he would not admit it: "I have witnesses."

"The Xu family is also a victim!"

"The young master of their family was poisoned and nearly died the night before!"

"It was this person who poisoned me."

Without waiting for Xue Yang to speak, he continued, "Ling Shuming is from Yueyang. When he was ten years old, he was bought to be a medicine man. Later, he learned the skill of poisoning and specialized in handling dirty matters for some dignitaries in the capital."

"He was imprisoned five years ago and was supposed to die in prison, but he later escaped to Huai County."
