But he couldn't not apologize now, and he couldn't run away. So many people were watching. He had agreed to it in the first place. What's more, the bailiffs were still here. They would agree to whatever Zhao Jincheng said.

It is really difficult to bow my head to a little girl. If it gets out, it will be embarrassing. People will definitely laugh at me when they see me in the future.

I really fell into the hands of these master and disciple today. I don’t know where they will be taken to in a while. I hope they won’t be locked up in jail. I just got some medicinal herbs thrown to them.

The yamen runner was getting a little impatient. Seeing him standing there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, without saying a word, he couldn't help but urge him, "Hurry up, don't delay things."

When the man heard the cold voice of the yamen runner, his heart trembled. He comforted himself that it was just some medicine thrown away, it was not a big deal, the runner could not do anything to him, at most he would lose his job, and at worst he would not have to give up the money.

Zhao Jincheng had already walked from in front of Ni'er to her side. The man was facing Ni'er, with his neck tilted, not daring to look her in the eye.

After hearing what the yamen runner said, he finally took a glance but still couldn't open his mouth.

Seeing him being so shy and unwilling, Nier raised one corner of her mouth slightly, thinking of teasing him, "It's okay if you don't want to apologize. How about you compensate me with twenty taels of silver? My reputation is worth more than that, you've made a profit."

The man was so frightened that he couldn't stand still. He thought that even if he sold himself, he couldn't buy twenty taels of silver, so he couldn't agree to it.

He shook his head like a rattle, "This... How can I do that? I said I was sorry before, but I can't change my words now."

Afraid that Xiao Ni would say something unpleasant again, he gritted his teeth and realized that face is worthless in front of money.

"I apologize. I was blinded by greed and threw away the precious medicinal materials for twenty taels of silver. I almost ruined the reputation of Doctor Xiao Nier."

The man's lips were trembling and his brows were frowning. It took him all his strength to say such words.

He closed his eyes and made a great resolution, "I will never do this again. Please forgive me, Dr. Xiao Nier."

After saying these words, it was as if the whole body was drained away, and he stood there like a half-dead tree.

The man regretted his decision very much. He wondered why he made the bet in the first place and why he had set his sights on this little girl. He thought she was a child who was easy to bully, but he was tricked instead.

I should have thought that she was not an ordinary child. She could practice medicine at such a young age and could read and understand prescriptions. Why should I go against such a person? I am really asking for trouble.

Although he apologized, Zhao Jincheng did not forgive him. Bullying his little apprentice could not be resolved with just a few apologies.

He will be in trouble later, but not in front of his little disciple.

He glanced down at Ni'er, who seemed to have accepted his apology, and it looked quite sincere. His young disciple was soft-hearted, so he probably wouldn't fail to forgive him.

Zhao Jincheng cleared his throat and asked, "Doctor Niu, have you forgiven him?"

Ni'er looked up and glanced at her master. He was really good at making fun of her. He actually called her Doctor Niu in front of so many people.

The man in front of me apologized, and there was nothing wrong with not accepting it. Seeing that he was gritting his teeth and the corners of his clothes were about to be torn, it was considered that he was sincere in saying everything.

"I accept your apology, but next time don't shoot yourself in the foot."

The bailiff grabbed the man's arm and was about to take him away. He was so scared that he bent down and kept asking Ni'er for help.

"Please, please don't let the bailiff take me away. I've already apologized."

The man turned around, but the bailiff was very strong and he could not break free. He had to walk backwards while begging Ni'er.

Nier watched the man being dragged further and further away, her voice gradually getting louder. She was not a pushover and would not beg for mercy for him for such a thing. If he made a mistake, he should be punished.

"I apologize, but it's wrong for you to throw away the medicine without permission. This matter is not something I can control. You should take care of yourself."

The light in the man's eyes dimmed, and he didn't know what fate awaited him.

Nier looked up at her master and smiled, "As expected of my master, you cooperated well."

Zhao Jincheng looked at Ni'er laughing like a little fox, and couldn't help laughing with her. He patted her shoulder and said, "That's the way it should be. There's no need to be soft-hearted towards that kind of person."

"If you are soft-hearted, there will be endless troubles waiting for you."

Ni'er nodded. What her master said was right. They were all people who never wanted to take advantage of others. Only after they suffered losses at her hands and knew that they could not be easily provoked, did they dare not act presumptuously.

The sound of hurried footsteps was heard, and it was getting closer and closer. Everyone looked towards the direction of the sound.

Here you cannot run unless something serious happens, so as to avoid causing panic, unrest among the people and leading to other incidents.

It turned out to be another yamen runner running over, sweating profusely, "Oh no, oh no."

Zhao Jincheng stepped forward and said, "Speak slowly."

The guard didn't have time to catch his breath, "A patient vomited a lot of blood, all over the floor, I'm afraid he's dying."

Nier suddenly had an idea and thought of a candidate in her mind, "Is he the brother of the person who was taken away just now?"

The bailiff didn't have time to think about what was going on. He just thought Ni'er was very smart. "Yes, it was him. He had just finished drinking the medicine and he started complaining about a stomachache. He was sweating profusely from the pain. If he hadn't been sick and had no strength, he would have rolled on the ground."

Zhao Jincheng listened to Ni'er's words and knew that she had a plan in mind, so it was not a big problem.

Nier immediately walked to the stove, opened a basin, picked up a small paper bag, walked to the master and opened it, "I suspect he ate this."

Zhao Jincheng's face changed, and he hurriedly picked up the medicine box and started walking quickly, almost as fast as running.

This medicine can save the girl's life, but it is highly poisonous if given to others. Even if it is a small dose mixed with other medicines, the toxicity will increase exponentially. If you go a little later, you will probably lose your life.

Ni'er hurried to catch up. Why didn't she think of it at the beginning? He took this and put it in his brother's medicine.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have vomited so much blood now. This is not a good sign.

I wonder how that man would react if he knew that his brother was almost killed by him.

Zhao Jincheng stopped and Ni'er almost bumped into her master, but fortunately she was light and stopped.

I looked behind my master and saw that the bailiff was right. The ground was covered with blood and he was still spitting blood out. If it was any later, he would have vomited all the blood.

The place was filled with the smell of medicine, blood, and a foul odor that was so pungent that it almost made people cry.

Zhao Jincheng also felt his scalp tingling, so he took out a silver needle and inserted it into the acupuncture point to stop the bleeding.
