Chapter 189 Someone stole my things
Many people were silent because they found that in addition to Miss Ye Si, there were also the prefect of Lin'an, the imperial physician, and the Minister of Justice. The previous example of the fifth-rank official's son was a lesson for them. If something was wrong, and Miss Ye Si and the Minister of Justice joined forces, would they still have a good outcome?
The law does not punish the masses. If everyone makes trouble together, they will naturally be happy. But if they are asked to take the lead, they will not do such a stupid thing. It's okay for others, but if the Minister of Justice remembers it, it will be a big deal.
But seeing that no one spoke, Ye Wenyan's sharp eyes swept through the crowd again.
People felt that the look was like a sickle, cutting them all over. "Most people in the inner city are very healthy!" Ye Wen said in a cold tone, expressionless, "Even if they are injured, they are treated in time. It seems that the many doctors detained in your mansion have worked. These days I have been in the outer city, and I heard that the doctors in the outer city who were taken away by you overnight could not go home. They didn't know whether their families were alive or dead, and their families didn't know whether they were alive or dead. You detained them in your mansion as private property, resulting in a shortage of doctors from outside the city, and the people could not even get the most basic protection. It's not enough for you to get so many advantages, and you even stopped my carriage to make trouble. Who gave you these bad habits?"
She was really a little angry. "This is the stable country that my grandfather and father sacrificed their lives to build. Now that they are gone, it is my responsibility to continue to protect it for them. You are just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of their labor. If you don't know how to cherish it, then someone else should do it!"
"What do you mean?" People were a little panicked. Although she was just a little girl, she made people feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"It means exactly what it says! If the people in the inner city are restless, then people from the outer city will move in. If the elders in your family can't even teach their own children, how can they manage worldly affairs? How can they afford to attend the court?"
Jiang Feng immediately followed up with a sentence: "This minister will draft a memorial to the court about what happened today. I know a few of you, so please add a copy and ask your elders to come and talk to me!"
Chi Hongfang sneered, "Did you hear that? The elders in your family have to take the blame for all the mistakes you made. This is the rule of the inner city. If your family members didn't teach you what it means to be cautious in what you say and do, this is a good opportunity to teach you a lesson."
Jiang Feng added, "Besides, Miss Ye Si has not ignored the people in the inner city. This minister only wants to ask you one question - have you ever used pills from a clinic? That clinic is the sixth one from west to east on Shuntian Street. There is a kind of pill that is given to the people in the inner city for free. It can cure injuries and has miraculous effects."
Someone exclaimed, "How did Minister Jiang know this? That's the Li family's clinic. They do sell a kind of miraculous pill, but the price is extremely high. One pill costs one hundred taels of silver."
"Yes, it is a bit expensive, but it is really effective. Any broken bones or muscles can be cured by taking the pills."
People started talking about it at once, and all of them praised the pills as being miraculous. One person even showed off his broken arm, which healed after taking two pills, and he could move it freely now.
Ye Wenyan frowned when she heard these words. She left those pills to give the people in the inner city some buffer time, so that they could use the pills to hold on for a while before seeking medical treatment. It was true that they had miraculous effects, because the pills could promote bone repair and growth after taking them. If the injury was not too serious, it was okay to insist on not seeking medical treatment. When she came back, she would prepare another batch of pills and send them out. With the follow-up pills, they could recover to 80% or 90%.
This was a method she had to resort to, and because there were fewer people in the inner city, the pills could be distributed. The same method was not very applicable in the outer city, because there were too many people in the outer city. This method was too conspicuous, and there was no place to find so many pills, so the wounded in the outer city had to be treated personally.
So, it’s not that she doesn’t care about the inner city, she goes to the outer city after she has taken care of the inner city.
But now things seem to be developing in another direction, for example... "The clinic belongs to the Li family? They also priced each pill at one hundred taels of silver?" She shook her head as she spoke, "The clinic belongs to the Li family, so did the Li family say who the pills belong to? I mean, have you ever thought that those pills were deposited in the Li family clinic by someone else?"
People shook their heads. "How is it possible? Who can deposit so many pills in the clinic? And Miss Li said that those pills were specially prepared by the clinic for us inner city people. They are only for inner city people. People from outside the city can't take even a single pill. Although it's a bit expensive, that's because it uses rare medicinal materials. The Li family doesn't make money, they only recover the cost, which is understandable."
"Yes, such a miraculous pill only costs one hundred taels of silver each, which is really too cheap."
"Miss Li is the guardian of our inner city. Although the Li family is different from the Ye family, they are both guardians, no worse than your Ye family!"
"Yes, it's no worse than the Ye family!"
For a moment, Li Yanran's voice reached a climax in the inner city. People shouted Li Yanran's name, and the voice echoed in all directions.
Ye Wenyan almost laughed out of anger when he heard such a voice, "Really? Miss Li said that those pills belong to their Li family?"
She looked at Chi Hongfang, "Master Chi, I want to report a case. I lost something and now I suspect that the Li family stole it."
She spoke in a loud voice, and although she didn't use much force or shout, she was able to drown out the voices shouting "Li Yanran, Li Yanran". People instantly quieted down and looked at Ye Wenyan, with countless question marks in their minds.
The Li family stole something? Is Miss Ye Si sick?
Ye Wenyan was of course not sick, and Chi Hongfang even knew that since Ye Wenyan said so, he must have a good reason, and he must cooperate. So he also said loudly: "This government will handle the case impartially. No matter who steals, we will not tolerate it! May I ask what the fourth lady lost? Why did you directly point to the Li family for stealing?"
Ye Wenyan replied: "The lost item is a silver note of 1,000 taels with the imperial seal on it. It was awarded by the palace. As for why I pointed at the Li family, it was because I gave the silver note to the Li family clinic. I thought it was the cost of buying those pills, but since the Li family denies it, then my silver must be lost, right? May I ask Lord Chi, what kind of behavior is it that the Li family stole the silver note with the imperial seal on it?"
Chi Hongfang said: "The silver note covering the imperial seal is not an ordinary thing. Anyone who dares to steal it will be sentenced to ten years in prison within a hundred taels, and if it exceeds a thousand taels, it means death!"
"The Li family really deserves to die." Ye Wenyan raised the corner of his lips and looked at everyone again, "Did you hear that? The Li family clinic took my banknotes and sold me those pills. Now that they deny it, it is stealing the imperial silver. If they admit that I bought those pills and I paid for the banknotes, it means they sold one thing twice and made two profits. Or you can put it another way, that is, the Li family sold my things without permission, I can still report to the police, they are still stealing." Zhuier couldn't help it anymore, so he stuck his head out of the carriage and said loudly: "My young lady has already agreed with the guys in the clinic that the pills will not be charged for a penny and will be given away for free to the people in the inner city. These are the life-saving pills that my young lady left for the people in the inner city. With the pills to save her life, she can take care of the civilians in the outer city with peace of mind. So you conscienceless people, after eating my young lady's pills, remember that Li Yanran, um, do you still have any shame?"
Ye Chulian was also furious. She lifted the car window curtain and said, "We obviously took care of the inner city first and then the outer city. We also rescued a child from the ruins and sent him to the Lin'an government office. The pills were all re-mixed by my fourth sister and mixed with medicinal ingredients to achieve miraculous effects. Otherwise, where do you think the Li family got such good things? Who of you has heard that any pill can cure any disease? The Li family has never heard of hiring a miracle doctor in all these years. Only my fourth sister is a miracle doctor. Can you still distinguish right from wrong?"
These words confused everyone, and their original support for Li Yanran became uncertain. But no one could tell what was going on. They didn't know whether the pills belonged to the Li family or were bought by Miss Ye Si. But one thing was certain, that is, although the Li family opened a clinic, they only sold ordinary medicinal materials over the years. Even if they bought pills, they had never heard of such miraculous pills in the clinic.
But Miss Ye Si was different. She had treated the emperor's throat and made a mute person speak after more than ten years. She was personally appointed by the emperor. So it was true that Miss Ye Si had the ability of a miracle doctor, but it was not necessarily the case for the Li family.
People began to get suspicious, so someone suggested: "Since Miss Ye Si has reported to the police, let's go to the clinic and search! See if we can find the banknote."
Chi Hongfang looked at Ye Wenyan, and seeing Ye Wenyan nod, he waved his hand, and everyone got off the horses and cars, and walked towards the Li Family Clinic along the inner city's not-at-all-flat road.
Because there were too many bricks and tiles on the road, people were stumbling as they walked. Someone was unhappy again: "I heard that the streets in the outer city have been cleared, but no one cares about our inner city!" This was heard by the Ji brothers and sisters who had been following Ye Wenyan. Ji Rong was quick-witted and retorted: "Because the streets in the outer city were cleared by the people themselves, the officials and the imperial guards have too many things to do, so they don't have time to sweep the streets. You people in the inner city are all lazy and greedy. You don't even sweep the snow in front of your own doorstep, and you still have the nerve to complain about the uneven road?"
The man got so angry that he wanted to argue with Ji Rong. Ji Rong didn't waste any words and just raised the sword in her hand, and the man shut up obediently.
Zhuier picked up a brick from somewhere and held it in her hand. Whenever someone looked at her, she would lift the brick up and make a slapping gesture, and those who were looking at her would turn their eyes away.
Then many people whispered: "The witch of the Ye family is becoming more and more evil..."
