Travel through the ancient husband

Yuanjia Village, Lianghe Town.

Zhao Xiaohu successfully celebrated the grand ceremony on April [-]th, and is waiting for the eighth day of May to get married.Unexpectedly, a major event suddenly happened in Baiwei Pharmacy that day.One of Dr. Jiang's patients, the young master of Bai Mansion, Bai Yongshou died suddenly.

Master Bai only had such an heir at the age of 40, and the whole family couldn't accept the bad news.

In the luxuriant courtyard of the White Mansion, Mrs. Bai's face was pale and she looked precarious.When Mrs. Bai heard the news, she fainted, and Mrs. Bai was also sad and angry, yelling repeatedly to ask Mr. Bai to drag out these neglected servants and beat them to death.

The servants who took care of Young Master Bai were trembling with fear, and the young master's personal servant forced himself to explain all the abnormalities of the young master a few days ago, and finally added, "Young master has been weak since he was a child, and I have been close to him all the time. I took care of him without any slack. Before Dr. Jiang saw the young master, he just had a cough and a runny nose. But after taking the medicine for three days, he kept complaining about headaches, dizziness, and a little photophobia. I didn’t dare to hide it. I reported it to my wife. My wife said that the young master has typhoid fever, and I will let the young master take medicine for a few days before checking the situation. I have not neglected my duty, so I beg the master to investigate carefully!"

At this moment, the servants of the White Mansion trotted over with Dr. Jiang carrying the medicine box.Dr. Jiang was getting old, and before he could catch his breath when he ran to the door, the furious Mr. Bai grabbed his collar, "You quack doctor, how dare you come?!"

Master Bai held on tightly, Dr. Jiang's old face was flushed, and he couldn't breathe.Seeing that the situation was wrong, the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to pull Master Bai, "Master, please don't be impulsive! Why don't we report it to the government and let the government handle it!"

He was also afraid that Master Bai would strangle Dr. Jiang to death in a fit of anger.

Master Bai's eyes were about to crack, he hesitated for a moment, but he let go and threw Dr. Jiang to the ground, "Hurry up and send someone to report to the authorities!"

Doctor Jiang slumped on the ground, clutching his neck and coughing.

Because it was a murder case, You County Magistrate quickly came to Bai's house with his staff, chief secretary, Wu Zuo, Dutou and his servants.The magistrate You ordered Wu Zuo to examine the body as soon as he arrived, and Wu Zuo frowned when he saw Young Master Bai's body, "It looks like he was poisoned!"

"Poisoned?!" Master Bai and Old Master Bai shouted in unison, their eyes red.

The county magistrate You made a decisive decision, and immediately ordered the servants to drive out the idlers and seal the yard.He then summoned the servants who were serving him one by one for interrogation.County magistrate You still had a few tricks, and asked clearly about Young Master Bai's symptoms before his death, three meals a day, and asked the yamen servants to search for evidence.Because the White House reported the case because it was suspected that Dr. Jiang had cured someone dead, County Magistrate You packed away the prescription that Dr. Jiang had prescribed, the remaining two packs of medicine and the leftovers that had not been processed today.

As for Dr. Jiang, he was a suspect and had to be taken away with him.

At Dr. Jiang's age, Wu Du didn't make things difficult for him and put him in shackles.He only ordered two yamen servants to coerce him back to the county yamen.As for the medicine box Dr. Jiang brought, he picked it up and took it back with him as evidence.

"Grandpa!" Jiang Li, who came over after receiving the news, was about to die of fright. Why did Grandpa and the servants of the Bai Mansion go back to see a doctor, but was arrested by the county magistrate? !

"Brother Li..." Dr. Jiang called weakly. He ran a long way today and was almost strangled to death by Master Bai. If it weren't for the support of two yamen servants, he wouldn't even be able to stand up.

Jiang Li's tears welled up all at once, and she couldn't help but want to step up to help Dr. Jiang, "Grandpa, are you okay..."

Before he finished speaking, he was pushed away by the yamen servant, "He is now a murder suspect, please don't approach him!"

Jiang Li staggered a bit, and Jiang Xin hurriedly supported Jiang Li, who was unsteady, and asked the servant in panic, "What murder case? Who died?"

The yamen servant pointed to the gate of Baifu, "The Baifu sued him for treating their young master to death."

Dr. Jiang gained some strength, and moved his finger at Jiang Li, signaling him to go, "I'm fine, brother Li, go back quickly. The county magistrate is fair and honest, and he will definitely give me justice!"

"Grandpa..." Jiang Li's heart ached because of his old and feeble appearance. He turned his head around and saw the medicine box in Wu Dutou's hand, and said quickly, "There are ginseng tablets in the medicine box. A piece under the tongue?"

Wu Du hesitated for a moment, and asked the master who was still nearby.The master took out the ginseng slices, smelled them carefully, bit off another small piece, and handed it to Wu Dutou, "Let him use it."

Dr. Jiang felt a little better after taking ginseng slices, Wu Dutou heaved a sigh of relief, and personally led the way back to the county government office.Jiang Li and Jiang Xin were worried and followed them all the way.When they arrived at the gate of the county government office, the two couldn't get in. They lingered at the gate for a while before turning around reluctantly.

Both of their minds were messed up and they had no clue, Jiang Xin said, "Otherwise, I'll send someone to send a letter to Brother Xiao Hu, and he can take care of him when he comes. The old man is now in the prison, and we two brothers can't get in or out." convenient."

Jiang Li nodded again and again, "That's right, I'll find someone to send him a message right away!"

Zhao Xiaohu from Yuanjia Village's legs went limp when he heard the news. This was the first time he had encountered such a life lawsuit.Knowing that Dr. Jiang was put in prison, Zhao Xiaohu went back to the house to pack his clothes without saying a word, and at the same time asked Zhao Wang to bring him money.Zhao Wangshi began to be suspicious again, "Xiaohu, what about Doctor Jiang, is it Brother Li..."

Zhao Xiaohu lowered his face, "Mum, do you remember the oath you made? You want me to die..."

Zhao Wang quickly interrupted him, "Bah, bah, bah! Ah Mu will stop talking, and Ah Mu will get you the money!"

The Zhao family didn't have much money, so Zhao Xiaohu coaxed and lied to him, and took away 130 taels of silver from the Zhao Wang family, which almost wiped out the entire family property of the Zhao family.

Zhao Xiaohu thought for a while, and then went to Yuan's house to find Uncle Gan.Yuan Ye left 50 taels of silver for Gan Bo and the others. Gan Bo would use it for his household and pay wages to the people in the dyeing workshop. He only gave Zhao Xiaohu 40 taels of silver for food.

However, "the master left a letter when he left. He said that if there is a big problem that cannot be solved, he will take the letter to the county government to ask the county magistrate for help!"

Zhao Xiaohu was overjoyed and quickly asked for it.

Zhao Xiaohu arrived at the county that afternoon. As soon as the ox cart arrived at the door of Baiwei Pharmacy, Jiang Li, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed out and held his hand tightly, "Brother Xiaohu, you are finally here. Grandpa was arrested I'm in prison, what should I do?!"

"Don't be afraid, Yuan Ye left a letter, and I'll take it to the county government right away. Why don't you pack some clothes and food, and I'll try to bring it to Doctor Jiang." Zhao Xiaohu said.

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Jiang Li seemed to have found the backbone, and hurriedly led Jiang Xin there.

Zhao Xiaohu asked his fellow villagers to drive the ox cart back first, and rented another carriage by himself.Asking Jiang Xin to guard the house, he took Jiang Li to the county government.

Under the willow tree on the west side of the county government office, Zhao Xiaohu secretly called out Wu Dutou and asked him to help bring a letter to the county magistrate.

Wu Du looked around and said in a low voice, "It turns out that Dr. Jiang is your husband's grandfather. I will find a chance to pass this letter to the county magistrate."

Zhao Xiaohu bowed halfway, "Thank you so much."

Wu Dutou waved his hand suddenly, and said loudly, "Let's go, the county magistrate will find out if you have been wronged!" He added in a very low voice, "After two quarters of an hour, the county magistrate's back alley .”

Zhao Xiaohu nodded lightly, acting cooperatively, "Master Dutou! Our old man was really wronged! Master Dutou..."

Wu Du brushed his head away from Zhao Xiaohu, and left without looking back.

Jiang Li didn't need to act at all, he thought of his grandfather when he saw Wu Dutou, and kept wiping away his tears.

In the hidden back alley of the county government office, Zhao Xiaohu comforted Jiang Li with his arms half in his arms, "It's okay, it's okay, the county magistrate has found out, and grandpa will release him soon." He actually had no idea, but Li Brother was already in a panic, he had to cheer up to appease his emotions.

"I'm afraid!" Jiang Li was trembling all over, tears kept falling, "I only have grandpa as a relative... I don't know if grandpa is cold or hungry in the prison?"

Zhao Xiaohu patted his back up and down, "You still have me, don't be afraid! Let's see if there is anything that can help Grandpa. Wu Dutou will come after a while. If you have any questions, please be careful. think about..."

While the two were talking, Wu Dou ducked into the alley.

The two were shaken, and Zhao Xiaohu lowered his voice and asked, "Wu Dutou, have you shown the letter to your lord? What did your lord say? What's the current situation of this case?"

Wu Dutou nodded, "My lord has read the letter and promised that if this matter has nothing to do with Dr. Jiang, he promises that he will not make Dr. Jiang suffer. This case is a bit troublesome. The foreman said it was poisoning, and they are still doing an autopsy right now." Dr. Jiang didn't add anything terrible to the prescription, did he?"

Jiang Li said, "No. Young master Bai is young and weak, and he only has typhoid fever. How could grandpa prescribe heavy medicines for him? There is a list of medicines in the White House, so people can test it and you will know?"

Wu Du said, "If that's the case, the county magistrate will let someone check the prescriptions and medicines prescribed by Dr. Jiang tomorrow, and he will be released if he is cleared of suspicion."

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good!"

"It's not easy to stay in the prison for one night. The adults said that Dr. Jiang is old, so you can bring some clothes in." The cell is cold and dark, and it can freeze to death in winter. It can make people shiver with cold.Moreover, the air inside is not circulated, and the musty smell fills the nasal cavity, which is disgusting.There is no one to take care of them, and there are many people who get sick after staying one night.

"Yes, yes. We brought a big cotton-padded coat, refreshing pills and some dry food." Zhao Xiaohu said, picking up the burden and showing it to Wu Dutou, and finally stuffed him with an ingot of ten taels of silver. "It's a small thing, thank you Dutou for running errands for us."

Wu Du didn't shirk his head, "Then I'll accept it cheekily. I'll watch over from Dr. Jiang, so don't worry!"

Wu Dutou stuffed the silver ingot into his bosom, took Zhao Xiaohu's package and left quickly.

With Wu Dutou's promise, knowing that his grandfather is being taken care of in prison, Jiang Li didn't panic anymore. He suddenly thought, "In the past, when my grandfather prescribed prescriptions, he would copy a copy in the shop, in case the patient forgot to bring the prescription. Come grab the medicine. Let's go back and have a look!"

Zhao Xiaohu also came alive, "Then let's go back quickly!"

The two drove home in a carriage, Jiang Li found the prescription book in the drawer after entering the pharmacy, and looked through the pages. "Found it! Here, Bai Yongshou!"

Jiang Li carefully read the medicinal materials on the list. This is a list of medicines for typhoid fever, and Grandpa didn't even dare to take a slightly heavier medicine.

Jiang Li happily said to Zhao Xiaohu and Jiang Xin, "Look, none of the medicines on the list are poisonous, it's definitely not that Grandpa prescribed the wrong medicine, he will be fine!"

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, barely made dinner, and waited to pick up Dr. Jiang the next day.
