The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

The old man shivered when he saw that Guan Cha was angry. How could he dare to question him? He quickly replied: "Master Cha, those hospitals of Princess Yingchuan have been using people from Mengxi Village to practice surgery. There must be two before and after." It’s been three months. Two days ago, my wife was also brutally murdered. They used her to practice surgery and disembowelled her.”

"It's been two or three months?" Ouyang Sheng asked, "Why hasn't it been reported to the official?"

The old man smiled bitterly and said: "Master Cha, our ancestors have been born in this mountain valley for generations, and we have never even left the village. How do we know which way the door of the yamen opens, and how do we know how to report to the official? Besides, we are here for surgery. We are all doctors under Princess Yingchuan. Even if we sue, there is no way we can win. We can only consider ourselves unlucky."

"Why are you so sure that the person who performed the surgery was Princess Yingchuan's doctor?" Ouyang Sheng asked.

"They said it themselves." The old man said, "They said that they came to practice on living people to improve their surgical skills. It is a great thing that benefits the people. Let us try our best to cooperate. However, anyone who has undergone surgery by them , nine out of ten people died. Whenever someone died, the doctors would compensate the family one tael of silver. Mr. Cha, our place is poor. Most people take the one tael of silver, even if they have complaints in their hearts. , and for the sake of money, I couldn’t bear to say anything.”

Nine out of ten die. Is the mortality rate so high? Ouyang Sheng frowned and asked again: "So, in the past two or three months, many people have died in your Mengxi Village?"

"Isn't that right?" the old man said, raising his hand and pointing towards the village, "At least half of the people in Mengxi Village are dead. If you don't believe it, just go and look. There are deaths in almost every household. "

Ouyang Sheng followed what he pointed at and frowned for a moment, then asked him: "Who are the specific doctors who performed the surgery? Do you know their names?"

The old man shook his head: "Then they didn't tell us, and we didn't dare to ask."

"What about their looks? Do you still remember them?" Ouyang Sheng continued to ask.

The old man nodded: "I remember the doctor who performed the surgery on my wife. For other doctors, you have to ask other people. They should remember."

He actually remembered his appearance, which meant that the person who came to Mengxi Village to perform surgery pretending to be a doctor from Ye Yuxiao Medical Center was not secretive. They were so bold. Could it be that they were wearing human skin masks and pretending to be doctors from Ye Yuxiao Medical Center, so they were not afraid of being seen? If this is the case, then this matter will be difficult. When the time comes, everyone in the area around Mengxi Village, the doctor of Ye Yuxiao Medical Clinic, will be identified. There is almost irrefutable evidence and they will be unable to defend themselves.

The more Ouyang Sheng thought about it, the more his heart sank, and his brows became more and more furrowed.

After Dai Peilan finished the autopsy, he walked out and said to Ouyang Sheng, "I've already finished examining the body inside. Let's go to another house to have a look."

Ouyang Sheng nodded and took her and the guards from house to house to inspect the bodies.

The first batch of Mengxi villagers who died under the scalpel had long been buried, but Ouyang Sheng refused to let them go. Taking advantage of their status as "official servants", he ordered people to dig graves and remove all the corpses that had been dead for three months. Dig it out and let Dai Peilan check it out.

After Dai Peilan checked them one by one, he said to Ouyang Sheng when no one was around: "The wounds on these villagers were indeed made with scalpels. Not only that, some of them lacked livers, and some of them injured their lungs." , and some had their whole hearts dug out alive, and the death was extremely cruel. The person who performed the knife was so heartless, no wonder the emperor was so angry."

Even on the battlefield where the dead were piled high, few people died so tragically. Ouyang Sheng took a breath of cold air. It seemed that the person who framed Ye Yuxiao had spent a lot of money this time.

Seeing that it was getting dark, there were almost all the things that needed to be checked and asked. Ouyang Sheng summoned all the guards and prepared to leave.

At this time, they suddenly heard some villagers talking - "Aren't all the policemen here? Why is there another group?"

Is the official official really here? Such an unlucky thing? The emperor had said that he would send people to collect personal and material evidence to return to Beijing, but it was already dark, why did they come at this hour?

If they met the real official, it would be a serious matter and it would not be easy. Ouyang Sheng didn't have time to think about it and quickly retreated towards the back mountain with Dai Peilan and the guards.

Before they could get into the mountains, they heard a commotion in the village - "Why are the new officials here and the previous ones running away?"

"They must be fake!"

"Hurry up and catch them!"

Ouyang Sheng felt alarm bells ringing in his heart. He immediately pointed in several directions and ordered the guards to escape separately. He took Dai Peilan in another direction.

————————————On that day, Ye Yuxiao in the capital waited until late at night and did not wait for Ouyang Sheng and Dai Peilan to come back. She was worried about this, but for the sake of the child in her belly, she could only force herself to go to bed.

The next morning, the first thing she did after waking up was to ask Xiao Zuan: "Have the prince and Miss Dai come back?"

Xiaozhan shook his head: "Not yet."

Didn't it mean that Mengxi Village is not far away and you can go back and forth in one day? Why haven't you come back yet? Countless bad thoughts suddenly flashed through Ye Yuxiao's mind, and she quickly asked Xiao Zan to help her dress up, then walked to the door and looked around.

She was worried about Ouyang Sheng and Dai Peilan. She was so worried that she couldn't eat. After Xiaozhan persuaded her for a long time, she managed to drink a bowl of porridge.

After breakfast, Gu Yuanlang, Gu Changping, Zhang Chengxuan, Gu Qingyan, Liu Xianzhao and Gu Ruyan all came.

Gu Yuanlang said: "Xiaoxiao, we just found out that someone has sued you?"

"Yes." Ye Yuxiao nodded, "The person who sued me was Princess Jiali, and she admitted it herself."

"What a Princess Jiali! You are slandering people with red lips and white teeth! How have the doctors in our medical clinics ever practiced surgery on living people?" Gu Changping was very angry. As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "I Let’s settle the score with her now!”

Ye Yuxiao asked Gu Yuanlang to stop him and said, "A Sheng and I beat her up yesterday."

Already beaten? That would save him some effort. Gu Changping asked: "Have you figured out how to prove your innocence?"

Ye Yuxiao sighed: "The prince and Sister Dai dressed up yesterday and went to Mengxi Village to investigate the situation, but they haven't come back yet."

"Maybe we were delayed on the way?" Gu Changping speculated.

"Impossible." Ye Yuxiao said, "Mengxi Village is not far from the capital. They can go back and forth once a day. Even if they were delayed on the way, it's time to come back."
