Chapter 114 How to Play This
"Sir, I am a scholar after all. If I were arrested for no reason, it would not only tarnish my reputation, but also make scholars all over the world feel disappointed."
"If a commoner is imprisoned for no reason, will you be able to bear the criticism from scholars all over the world?"
"Can you catch us and everyone who was there and knows the truth?"
"Sir, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. We need to be rigorous in handling cases. What do you think?"
A passage that was neither humble nor arrogant, yet very firm.
Su Jiuyue gave Su Xian a thumbs up in her heart.
Brother Su Xian is using his status as a scholar to force County Magistrate He to compromise.
How do you expect scholars to think if you arrest people with great achievements without any investigation?
Scholars attach the most importance to reputation.
If the truth is revealed in the future, these people's pens will be like sharp blades stabbing at him!
County Magistrate He had a frosty face and stared at Su Xian viciously.
It was a fact that Su Xian beat someone last time, and I had a reason to target him.
This time, Boss Qian and Shopkeeper Tian spoke seriously.
In fact, those thugs had nothing to do with it!
If we examine the injuries, wouldn't the truth be revealed?
County Magistrate He glanced at Su Xian, then at Su Jiuyue.
I secretly calculated it in my mind.
Take the person to the yamen first. Once the door is closed, they have no say on life or death, crime or punishment!
There was a hint of sneer on his face.
"Su Xiucai, you already have a bad record of beating people, do you think you still have a good reputation?"
"Besides, the government is very strict in handling cases. We have already examined the injuries. What? Do you want to question the government's judgment?"
Su Xian remained neither humble nor arrogant.
"I dare not, but since this concerns my family's innocence, I will definitely fight for it."
"I know a doctor who has excellent medical skills and a good reputation. I hope that you will allow me to ask him to examine my injuries again with witnesses present."
Yue'er told him that those people did not suffer any external injuries.
You will know after one test.
"If you really don't know right from wrong, I will write a petition in blood and fight this lawsuit with you."
County Magistrate He naturally would not agree and said in a cold voice.
"What good doctor can you peasants know? I'm afraid he will find a quack doctor to help you escape punishment!"
Su Xian wanted to say more, but County Magistrate He interrupted him angrily.
"Su Xian, do you really think I'm afraid of a poor scholar like you?"
"I'm telling you! Don't give me your scholarly tricks! I won't eat it!"
"Once you enter the government, you have no say in what happens. You still want to write in blood? When you bleed all your blood, I'll see what blood you have to offer!"
The money he got from Mr. Wang and Boss Qian is something he could never get in his lifetime as a county magistrate!
You are just a scholar, and you dare to threaten him with other scholars?
In Yishan County, he is the boss!
Whoever dares to say anything, just do it!
Su Jiuyue looked at County Magistrate He and his officials and exchanged glances.
Knowing that these people would not listen no matter what, I was ready to take direct action.
Even if some people know the truth in their hearts, they dare not go against the government.
At most, they would discuss it in a low voice and use it as a topic of conversation after dinner.
Looking at Su Xian’s gloomy face, he sighed in his heart.
When a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain why.
When Su Xian saw that they were about to take action, he felt a chill in his heart.
He ordered in a cold voice.
"Little monster, take your people and guard the door."
The little monster responded with a grim face.
"Here."
The other young men were holding sticks, and although they knew they were in danger of death, no one backed down.
Iris and other maids protected the Su family behind them, with courage and determination on their young faces.
The aunts were not afraid at all.
Su Maolin and the others also tried to remain calm.
Yue'er said that they would encounter many storms in the future and they must learn to be strong.
Su Jiuyue looked at the reactions of everyone in the Su family.
There is a trace of comfort.
These servants were certainly not born brave and fearless, or they were conquered by her domineering aura in just one day.
But because she had just returned from outside, she drew up an agreement from the system and asked them all to sign it.
One of the clauses in the agreement is [to be loyal and protect the master].
The two sides were on the verge of a fight, and Su Xian looked at the sky.
Just delay a little longer and you will get the chance.
Su Jiuyue held the anesthetic tightly, ready to throw it out at any time.
County Magistrate He held his sword high.
A hearty laugh suddenly broke the tense atmosphere.
"Hahaha, County Magistrate He, just handle the case, don't be so angry!"
Doctor Li walked in slowly with his wife.
He stood in front of Su Xian and gave him a reassuring look.
Su Xian smiled back and nodded lightly.
I finally felt at peace.
As soon as Doctor Li arrived, the situation was broken.
Doctor Li had a smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He looked at County Magistrate He and spoke slowly.
"I wonder if a quack doctor like me is qualified to examine my friend's injuries?"
County Magistrate He’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Doctor Li actually came to help them!
How is this still playing?
Doctor Li himself is not a powerful person.
But what can we do? There is a powerful force behind him!
Just think about it, who dares to say that they can live a life without illness or disaster? Who dares to say that they can’t get help from a miracle doctor?
With his superb medical skills, Doctor Li naturally had a lot of dignitaries eager to make friends with him.
If I offended him.
That means if one move affects the entire body, it will be difficult to get out of it safely.
County Magistrate He thought about the pros and cons and knew that he would not get any good result today.
Force a smile.
"Hahaha, Divine Doctor Li, how come you have time to come here? This is just a misunderstanding...How could you trouble me so much?"
Doctor Li patted Su Xian's shoulder.
"Come stay at my friend's house. It seems I came at the right time."
Doctor Li said meaningfully.
County Magistrate He gave a dry laugh.
"Haha... misunderstanding, misunderstanding..."
He cursed Boss Qian and Shopkeeper Tian over and over again in his heart.
Why didn't they tell themselves that this kid had Dr. Li as his backer?
Can I afford to offend Doctor Li?
Doctor Li chuckled.
"I happen to be going to Magistrate Gao's house for a follow-up visit tomorrow. Can I bring one for you?"
How could County Magistrate He not understand the meaning of the words?
He waved away the officials under his command and said goodbye repeatedly.
How could Doctor Li not see that those people were fine after his examination?
When the time comes, I'll put on a show of disrespect to my immediate superior.
How can I still be better off?
County Magistrate Gao's son recently fell ill with a strange disease, and he was so worried and anxious that he had no time to take care of the government office.
Let me take care of the government affairs for the time being.
He took advantage of his position to abuse his power for personal gain and received many benefits.
If Doctor Li went to County Magistrate Gao and talked nonsense, he would expose himself.
Given County Magistrate Gao's temper, I'm afraid I'm doomed.
Thinking of this, County Magistrate He turned around and left.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw a carriage stop at the gate of the Su residence.
A man in blue came down, supporting an old man in scholar's robe.
His pupils shrank, but he didn't dare stop to take a closer look, his heart was pounding.
If I'm not mistaken, that's Principal Su?
Is Principal Su also here to provide warm accommodation for the Su family?
He has some inside information. Principal Su is not an ordinary person!
I must have been too fast and didn't see it clearly.
How could they possibly get to know Dean Qingshan!
Yes, that's right, it's impossible! I must have seen it wrong!
Su Qingshan got off the carriage and saw that the Su family members were standing at the gate of the courtyard.
Laughed.
"My dear friend, why are you being so polite? I don't need your whole family to come out to greet me. Why don't you just let Second Su come?"
Su Jiuyue calmly put the anesthetic in her hand back into the space.
Hearing Su Qingshan's words, he coughed dryly.
"Ahem...Grandpa Su, you're here! Come in! The food should be ready."
