After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 99 The Doctor's Kindness

"I have never betrayed my late husband."

Zhang Xiuxiu covered her face and cried, the word "betrayal" pierced her heart.

Shi Nuanyu's eyes were as sharp as knives, and the gavel in her hand clattered loudly.

"If that's the case, why don't you tell the truth?"

The prefect looked at the gavel banging up and down in panic. He wanted to tell the princess how to use the gavel several times, but the words were forced to stop before he could blurt them out.

Zhang Xiuxiu was silent for a while, lost in painful memories.

"Half a month ago, the villagers of Tangjia Village fell seriously ill. When I and my husband went there, some villagers had died for no apparent reason. The villagers' symptoms were difficult to resolve. They started with abdominal pain.

Then he would vomit up several poisonous insects. My wife and I were helpless and had to return home. After returning home, we were in a state of panic, and my husband was worried about his illness every day.

Zhang Xiuxiu paused and endured the pain in her heart, "Seven days ago, the Wang family in Tangjia Village invited my husband to a banquet. After my husband returned home, he had unbearable abdominal pain.

He opened his mouth and spat out a dozen poisonous insects. My husband knew that he didn't have much time left, so he begged me to cut out his abdomen and cure his disease after he died. I then..."

Zhang Xiuxiu, already sobbing uncontrollably, took a deep breath and continued, "I'll let the child hold the lamp and cut open my husband's abdomen with my own hands."

The onlookers shed tears secretly. They had all been to Guangmin Hall to be treated by Doctor Tang and had received his kindness. They did not expect that Doctor Tang wanted to fulfill his medical legacy until his death.

Shi Nuanyu clenched her fists to suppress the anger in her heart, "Sir, has Tangjia Village reported this matter?"

This matter is very serious, and it is nothing more than deceiving superiors and concealing the truth from subordinates.

The prefect's face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. He knelt down and confessed his fate.

"Fearing that the disease might spread, I ordered the sick villagers in Tangjia Village to be burned."

"How dare you!" Shi Nuanyu was furious. She picked up the gavel and smashed it hard at the prefect. "Has this matter been reported to the court?"

The prefect remained silent and trembled with fear.

Shi Nuanyu once again understood the saying that the emperor is far away and the mountains are high. Even if it was only a few dozen miles away, he could still hide it.

"If you conceal this matter, aren't you afraid of a plague spreading? Then the people of Peicheng will die."

"Princess, please spare my life. I was afraid that I did something foolish. I beg you to spare my life for the sake of my hard work, even though I have no merits."

It's the familiar line of begging for mercy again.

Shi Nuanyu was almost so angry that her breasts started to grow. "Please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me. When you did this, did you think about the consequences?
As a senior official, if you know something but don't report it, what qualifications do you have to sit in the position of prefect?"

She finally understood why ancient emperors did not live long and how they could live longer if they were angered every day.

"A Ling, I haven't tried yet. This case is in your hands. You must investigate thoroughly."

The two young men whose names were mentioned were stunned for a moment, and then quickly stepped forward to escort the prefect.

Seeing their confused looks, Shi Nuanyu rolled her eyes at them. There were three figures, one red, one black, and one purple, standing brightly at the door. If she couldn't see them, she would be blind.

The prefect shouted at the top of his lungs, "You are not a member of the imperial court, so you have no right to investigate and prosecute me."

Shi Nuanyu gave him a kind smile, "You have forgotten who I am."

Princess Nanyue is insidious and vicious, and she doesn't need anyone to interfere with her actions.

After resolving this matter, it’s time to deal with Zhang Xiuxiu’s matter.

"What Zhang Xiuxiu said needs to be proven. Is there anyone here who can provide strong evidence?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people fell silent. They looked at each other, feeling conflicted.

The people do not fight against the officials, let alone when they are facing the royal family.

Shi Nuanyu was not in a hurry. She took out a dart from her sleeve and played with it.

The dart given by A Ling hasn't shed blood for a long time, but it's still so sharp. What material is it made of?

"Your servant A Yuan is willing to testify. Doctor Zhang is a kind person. I beg Your Highness to show leniency."

A Yuan walked out of the crowd, knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

Once again, the people who had received favors from Guangmin Hall knelt down and begged one after another.

"Doctor Zhang treats the common people's emergency without accepting payment. Please, Princess, spare Doctor Zhang."

"Doctor Zhang is a compassionate doctor. He had a reason for dissecting my husband. I beg the princess to show some mercy."

...The people were chattering and begging for mercy. After they calmed down, Nuanyu slowly spoke.

"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living punishment cannot be escaped." Facing everyone's disappointed gaze, Shi Nuanyu smiled and said, "Then punish Doctor Zhang and make it your responsibility to save the world and the people from now on.

Improve your medical skills and seek benefits for the people, in order to carry on the legacy of my late husband."

Zhang Xiuxiu looked up stiffly in disbelief and knelt down with her child to express her gratitude.

"Thank you princess."

She never thought that she could survive and inherit her late husband's wishes.

"Because you have a criminal record, I order you to go to Kyoto in five days. I have already arranged a place for you."

She would be a fool not to keep someone like him around.

Zhang Xiuxiu burst into tears of gratitude, "I will obey the princess's orders."

Shi Nuanyu waved her hand, and A Yuan understood and took the mother and son downstairs to tidy up.

The big man Fei Da, who was completely ignored, looked at her attentively.

Shi Nuanyu felt a chill run down her spine from being stared at. "As for you, if anyone from Anping Village comes to redeem you personally, I will let you go after I find out the truth."

"That's all for today, please leave."

Fei Da cried with snot all over his face, "Thank you for your grace, Your Highness."

Woohoo, he doesn't have to die.

The news that the prefect of Peicheng was dismissed and investigated by Princess Nanyue spread quickly. Within just a few hours, Qinghe, who was far away in Longcheng, knew about it.

Qinghe sat by the river holding the letter, looking carefully at the contents on the letter.

"Nuan Nuan is always giving me difficult questions. Who should I choose as the next prefect of Pei City?"

Fusheng, who was washing his hands by the river, frowned slightly when he heard the word "Nuan Nuan", and a trace of tenderness flashed across his calm eyes.

After washing the blood off his hands, Fusheng walked around the corpse on the rocky beach and picked up the token on the ground.

"When can we kill him?"

There has been a steady stream of assassins hunting them down recently, and this is the third wave.

A warning to the Li family can cause such a big disturbance. I guess the master behind the Li family is anxious.

Qinghe carefully put away the letter and looked at the turbulent river.

"No rush, let him live well for a while."

The cause of the Ji family's death had far-reaching consequences, and they all understood the principle that a single move could affect the entire body.

"The Li family doesn't need to stay."

They came out this time to investigate Lijia Village, but they didn't expect to discover such an interesting thing.

The unmarked arrow also found its owner.

Fusheng threw the token into the river, looked at the stains on his hands with disgust, and washed his hands again.

"Don't forget the festival in a month, brother."

"I won't forget."

Even if they forget how many times they have experienced life and death, they will never forget that heart-wrenching day.

Qinghe picked up the thin leaves on the ground, and his gentle eyes fell on the forest not far away like a sharp sword. The thin leaves in his hand were like a blade that cut through the sky and tore through the breeze.

The sound of something heavy falling was heard in the forest, and more than a dozen assassins attacked with swords drawn.

Fusheng wiped his freshly washed hands, a trace of annoyance flashed across his cold eyes, and he nimbly dodged the attack. Several emerald green poison pills appeared in his palms, and he took advantage of the gap to throw them into the mouths of the assassins.

The assassins' faces turned purple instantly after the poison entered their throats, and they fell to the ground, but there was no trace of blood.

"Master, there is news from Li Village."

Tianxun came hurriedly to report.

The smile in Qinghe's eyes deepened, "After all, you can't hide from the monk's temple."
