Chapter 152 Threat

Doctor Wu and Xu Wu were detained by Wen Sheng in the inn, and the scholars and their book boys took turns guarding them.

There were arresters from the government office who came to take over, but they were rejected by the scholars with righteous words. They put their skeptical attitude on the surface. Xu Wu turned a blind eye to the matter.

It's not obvious, and Ou Tongpan secretly sent people to rob people. Although the scholars had differences among themselves, they were very unified on this point.

The two are their trump cards, so it is natural to take strict precautions to keep them.

Gu Jingyun is a newcomer, but everyone knows him. After all, the whole incident was triggered by his case, so no one has any objections when he came to see the two of them.

Gu Jingyun went to see Dr. Wu first.

Doctor Wu was imprisoned for five days, he was very haggard, his beard turned gray several times, when he saw Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu walking in, he directly skipped Gu Jingyun who was walking in front, and looked at Li Baolu who was behind him.

He has seen many scholars like this in the past five days, and Li Baolu is the second species he has seen, so he can't help but wonder why she came here.

Li Baolu came to make soy sauce, she stood behind Gu Jingyun and looked at Doctor Wu.

About forty years old, with a long face, the wrinkles on the forehead form the word "Chuan" lying down, the corners of the mouth are tightly pursed, it can be seen that he is very serious, and there is a bit of sternness and impatience in the eyes she looks at them, which is different from what she knows It is far from the doctors I have seen.

Gu Jingyun sat down at the main seat of the table, but he just looked up at him and lowered his head to make tea.

The teapot contained ordinary tea that cost ten cents a pot in the inn. Gu Jingyun only took a sniff and handed it to Li Baolu who was behind him, "Change a cup of tea."

Li Baolu brought out the tea, and after a while brought in a tea set and a small bamboo tube.

This is Vincent's.

Because of Gu Jingyun's health, most of the tea Li Baolu gave him was almond tea and black tea, and he would only drink the brewed green tea when he was hungry.

Naturally, the tea set is not very particular.

But Wen Sheng is a very refined and elegant person. This set of tea sets was passed down from his ancestors. Because he has been used to it since he was a child, he also brought it with him when he came to Guangzhou this time.

Li Baolu helped him boil the water with a small stove, and Gu Jingyun slowly made tea, changed the water, and brewed the tea...

Dr. Wu gradually became agitated. The two of them had been in the room for more than half an hour, but they were doing their own thing and ignored him at all.

Seeing Gu Jingyun enjoying the tea after brewing it, he couldn't help sneering: "Young master, if you want to make tea, you can go to other places, and you don't have to pretend to be in front of me."

Gu Jingyun looked up at him, took a sip of tea and said lightly: "What does it have to do with you?"

Doctor Wu was taken aback for a moment, and then said angrily, "Get out of my room."

Gu Jingyun looked at him and smiled lightly, "The room fee is paid by the landlord, and this room is rented by the landlord. What qualifications do you have to say that?"

"Then let me go, why do you put me under house arrest? This is against the law!"

Gu Jingyun put down his teacup and said with a smile: "Doctor Wu, don't worry about us. We have obtained the consent of Zhou Zhifu. We will guard you and other witnesses until the case is clarified."

"Impossible," Doctor Wu's face paled, "You are not officials, what qualifications do you have..."

"This is the prefect Zhou's comfort to us," Gu Jingyun said quietly: "Twenty-five candidates were persecuted, and one of them died. Even the prefect Zhou couldn't bear the consequences of this matter, so he had to make concessions."

"Dead, someone died?" Dr. Wu's hands trembled slightly.

Dr. Wu has been repeatedly questioned by scholars about the prescription and the person behind it, but the scholars never told him about the outside world, so he really doesn't know about the outside world, but he remembers that it was only a small area when he was arrested It's right that the power of the Ou family shouldn't be able to suppress the quarrel.

"Yes," Gu Jingyun sighed: "A candidate from Gaozhou died of diarrhea not only yesterday, I wonder if Dr. Wu still remembers him, he also took the medicine you prescribed, and now his book boy and his coffin are parked In this inn."

Doctor Wu calmed down, lowered his eyes and said, "There are so many people who see me every day, if that person came to see me a long time ago, I naturally can't remember."

"It makes sense, after all, ten days have passed." Gu Jingyun smiled at him, "He suddenly suffered from diarrhea three days before the exam, so he went to see Dr. Wu immediately, but it's a pity that he took your 'improved' Your condition has not been good, and you died in the early morning of yesterday. This matter has been reported to the Yamen, and no one was killed. "

"But Doctor Wu don't have to worry, Zhou Zhifu won't put you in jail, he has promised that we will keep you guarded until the case is finalized."

No, he didn't mind going to jail at all, he didn't want to stay in the inn anymore.

Doctor Wu looked up at Gu Jingyun.

Gu Jingyun raised his teacup to give him a slight signal, and asked with a slight smile on his lips, "Actually, there is one thing that I have never understood. Although Doctor Wu's family background is not considered rich, he can be considered well-fed in Guangzhou, so why take the risk to replace others?" Do such a thing?"

"I don't understand what the young master is saying. As I said, I was just greedy for the consultation fee and wanted to see the doctor more times, so I added two more medicines to reduce the effect of the medicine."

Gu Jingyun sighed, "Has Dr. Wu already considered taking on this matter?"

Doctor Wu lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"What a pity," Gu Jingyun sighed, "I have seen your little grandson, who is only two years old, chubby, with very flexible eyes, and looks very smart, but it's a pity."

Doctor Wu's heart tightened, he stared at Gu Jingyun and asked, "What do you want to do?"

He said angrily, "I told you, I didn't harm you..."

Gu Jingyun showed a mocking smile, and interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Doctor Wu, haven't you realized that you have killed someone already."

"Brother Wen and the others aside, you made it impossible for them to refer to them, but because they are now in good health, the prefect of Zhou will judge you for improperly prescribing the medicine at most, and pay a few taels of silver. But now that the person is dead, that person I used your prescription at the beginning, and didn’t change to another doctor until the condition deteriorated completely.” Gu Jingyun smiled meaningfully at him, “It’s easy to say that the patient’s improvement is only slowed down if the effect of the medicine is reduced, but if the condition deteriorates so rapidly that it’s discounted The effect of the medicine can't be suppressed at all, so you die?"

"We have asked many doctors to look at your prescription, and they agreed that if the patient takes the prescription that does not slow down the effect of the medicine from the beginning, then there will be no danger of life. Now you have been involved in murder. Just for that The fee for the consultation cost one person's life, which is an extremely bad behavior according to the court's laws, and we have written a letter to Zhou Zhifu, what do you think the Zhou Zhifu will do?"

Doctor Wu's face was pale.

These exams are just a joint letter to the prefect Zhou, and they will detain him. If he writes again to demand severe punishment, another person will be killed...

Doctor Wu's heart felt cold, he would die, and these candidates would definitely force him to death.

Doctor Wu looked at Gu Jingyun with a "huh".

Gu Jingyun smiled at him, "That's why I sigh for your lovely grandson. He has a grandfather who practiced medicine and killed people, and the twenty-four of us who survived will take care of him. I don't know how he will live in the future?"

Gu Jingyun still had a smile on his face, but looked at him with a cold look in his eyes, "Cutting one's future is like killing one's parents, Doctor Wu, are you ready to bear the anger of our twenty-four candidates?"

"The oldest among us is Qiao Xu, who is thirty-eight years old this year, and the youngest is the next one, who is fourteen years old this year. They all passed the examination of Xiucai, and I am very lucky to have participated in the provincial examination this year. Be sure to pass the exam."

"You should know that we are being targeted because we are all knowledgeable, right? For us, it will be a matter of time to pass the examination. As long as one-third of the twenty-four of us survived can pass the Jinshi examination .Eight people, each side of the sky can occupy eight places, and each of the eight people has the same age and relatives and friends. I am very curious, under our care, what will happen to your Wu family in the end."

Dr. Wu fell into an ice cave, and this man was threatening him, threatening him, no matter where the Wu family fled, it would be useless unless he left Dachu.

However, did the whole family leave their hometown just for such a thing?

Dr. Wu gritted his teeth in hatred and almost vomited blood, regretting for the first time in his heart.

He almost lost his mind and said: "I, I didn't do it, you can't treat me like this..."

Li Baolu sneered, and said bluntly: "Why are you so stupid? They don't care whether they have evidence or not. Anyway, they have already determined that you are helping the evildoers. If the court can't get justice for them, then they can only vent their anger on themselves."

Doctor Wu's heart stopped, and he looked at Gu Jingyun with red eyes.

Gu Jingyun got up, flicked his robe and said, "There is no need to make such a gesture. Although we haven't got your confession yet, based on the evidence we have, we can already confirm your crime."

Doctor Wu's face turned pale.

Gu Jingyun took Li Baolu away.

Dr. Wu was in a state of confusion, he didn't expect that someone would die, so even if he refused to admit the crime of murdering these examinees, he would not escape death.

Moreover, if you admit it, helping them to testify against the people behind the scenes may calm their anger. If you don't admit it, as Gu Jingyun said, these scholars have already determined that he is helping the king and the Wu family, and he is dead. But his The children and grandchildren are afraid that they will be suppressed all the time.

He regretted it unceasingly. If he knew that he would not be greedy for the money to prescribe that prescription for someone, how could he die?

Although the effect of the medicine has been reduced, it should still have the effect. How could people die?

Dr. Wu hugged his head, gritted his teeth and wept. It was really a wrong step, a wrong step.

Gu Jingyun turned around and went to the place where Xu Wu was imprisoned next door. Before entering, he said to Li Baolu: "It's up to you this time."

Li Baolu was a little nervous, and whispered: "Are you sure you really want me to extract a confession?"

Gu Jingyun comforted her with a smile, "This man is a scumbag, death is not a pity, don't be afraid of his pain."
