Chapter 1833: Shao Qingyuan’s Aggression
Editor: Henyee Translations
The county magistrate tightened his grip on the wooden stick. He looked at Shao Qingyuan, who looked serious and aggressive, and laughed dryly.
"Of course. As my parents’ official, I’ll deal with this matter seriously." The county magistrate pointed at Qiao Jinshui. "Then... let’s do it one by one. You said that this person is a fake. Do you have any evidence?"
"I’m a witness. Coincidentally, not long ago, I participated in a medical conference in the Xuanhe Prefecture and saw Qiao Jinshui with my own eyes. He doesn’t look like this. Of course, if Lord Mao doesn’t believe me, you can check his travel permit and registration. I think it’s convenient."
The county magistrate nodded and looked at ’Qiao Jinshui’ coldly. "Do you plead guilty?"
"Sir, I’m innocent. I admit that I’m indeed not Qiao Jinshui. However, I really didn’t disregard human lives. I’m a doctor. I was just worried that everyone wouldn’t believe me, so I used someone else’s name. However, I guarantee that I didn’t harm anyone. Instead, I healed many commoners. Everyone can bear witness to this."
He turned around and looked at the onlookers outside.
It had to be said that he had indeed accumulated some reputation during this period of time. The crowd was buzzing, and there were a few people who spoke up for him. "That’s right, Sir. Although this person is an imposer, he also treats people. Previously, a person who was about to die was saved by him. His medical skills are very good. In my opinion, he might be even better than the real Doctor Qiao."
Gu Yundong, who was also standing in the crowd, sneered.
Shao Qingyuan, who was in the hall, also smiled. "Really? You have the medical skills to revive the dead?"
He turned his head and looked outside. He happened to see Shao Wu.
Shao Qingyuan waved his hand and Shao Wu led them in.
The county magistrate looked confused. Shao Qingyuan said, "These people are the ones who were saved after they fell terminally ill. Why don’t we hear what he has to say?"
That person was pushed in by Shao Wu. He quickly knelt down and did not dare to raise his head.
It wasn’t until County Magistrate Mao asked him a question that he glanced at ’Qiao Jinshui’ and said in fear, "To be honest, I’m not sick. Yes, he gave me two taels of silver and let me put on an act. Please spare me, sir. Please spare me. I know my mistake."
"That’s enough. Shut up." The county magistrate looked at Qiao Jinshui. "What else do you have to say now?"
Shao Qingyuan said, "If this person is not considered evidence, I think many of the people who have been treated by you did not recover after taking the medicine. They might become even more serious. Why don’t you go and look for them?"
Qiao Jinshui’s face turned pale. He instantly collapsed weakly and could not say a word.
The county magistrate cursed in his heart, but his face was filled with anger. "How dare you treat human lives as child’s play and harm others? Your crimes are unforgivable. Men, beat him twenty times first and then send him to jail. I’ll punish him after I find out if he’s killed."
"Yes."
Qiao Jinshui wanted to beg for mercy, but the bailiff quickly covered his mouth with his hands. Then, he set up a long chair in the hall, pressed Qiao Jinshui down, and began to torture him.
The 20 strokes were quickly completed, and Qiao Jinshui was detained.
Shao Qingyuan glanced at the pale Li Zhi and reminded the county magistrate, "My lord, is it time for the trial of Yang He’s poisoning?"
