The carefree life of Yang Shuisheng, the village miracle doctor

Seeing that the monkey hadn't made a sound for a while, Ma San raised his leg and kicked it.

"Speak quickly if you have any thoughts, Brother Yang is very busy and won't wait for you."

The monkey was kicked so hard by Ma San that it stumbled and almost fell flat on its face.

He clutched his sore buttocks, but dared not show the slightest anger on his face. Instead, the kick had given him a sudden inspiration, and he quickly looked up, excitedly saying to Yang Shuisheng, "Brother Yang, I've got it! I've got it!"

"I can tell you what dirty things Cai Jinwen used to make us do. If those things were exposed, he would be in big trouble."

"With these leverages, you can manipulate him however you want in the future."

Yang Shuisheng's originally calm eyes lit up slightly when he heard about the dirty business and the incriminating evidence.

"Oh? Tell me about it."

He looked at the monkey calmly, his tone still indifferent, yet carrying a hint of guidance: "If you really have value, letting you go isn't out of the question."

The monkey quickly swallowed and, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, recounted all the shady things Cai Jinwen had instructed them to do, picking out a few that he considered the most serious and best demonstrated Cai Jinwen's wicked nature.

These included malicious competition, adulterating competitors' goods, colluding with local thugs to force sales, and even on one occasion, in order to seize the supply rights for an engineering project, instructing them to intimidate and threaten the person in charge, resulting in the person being hospitalized.

Each of these incidents, taken individually, would meet the criteria for filing a case for investigation.

"Pah! That guy surnamed Cai is a real piece of trash."

Not to mention Yang Shuisheng, even Ma San, who claimed to be a gangster, thought it was a bit too much and couldn't help but spit.

"Can."

After listening, Yang Shuisheng remained silent for a few seconds, then slowly nodded and said to the monkey, "This news is worth it to save your life."

He turned to Ma San and instructed, "Go find paper and pen."

Ma San responded and hurriedly ran into the house, rummaged through the tumbled pencil and a few crumpled sheets of paper, and handed them to Yang Shuisheng.

"Write down everything you just said, as well as everything else you know about Cai Jinwen's illegal and disorderly conduct, in detail."

Yang Shuisheng handed the paper and pen to the monkey, his tone commanding and leaving no room for argument: "Write down the time, place, people, and process in as much detail as possible."

"You can leave once you've finished writing."

"But remember, this is a secret known only to heaven, earth, you, and me. If you dare to mention it to anyone other than the three of us, you know the consequences."

"I don't mind having one less person in the world who knows too many secrets."

The monkey took the paper and pen, his hands trembling, but hearing that he could live, he dared not hesitate for a moment and nodded vigorously: "Brother Yang, don't worry! I will keep my mouth shut! I won't tell even if you kill me."

After saying that, he lay down on the ground and began to write down everything he knew about Cai Jinwen on the paper, using the broken stool as a makeshift desk.

Yang Shuisheng stood aside, quietly supervising him as he finished writing.

The letter was filled with densely packed notes, covering more than a dozen items. Although Cai Jinwen wasn't directly involved in many of them, every single one of them was related to him.

Having this thing is equivalent to holding Cai Jinwen's lifeline in one's hands.

After the monkey finished writing, Yang Shuisheng carefully read it over and, after confirming that there were no problems, folded the paper neatly and carefully put it into his pocket.

He kept his promise and released Zhang Qiang and Li Guohua on the spot.

"Remember, from now on, you must be available whenever needed in the county town."

Before leaving, Yang Shuisheng asked the two to leave their specific address and contact information in the county town so that they could find them.

After dealing with all this, only Yang Shuisheng, Ma San, and Zhao Hu, who was still tied up inside the house, remained in the courtyard.

"Ma San, you've had a tough time these past few days."

Yang Shuisheng patted Ma San on the shoulder, his tone carrying a mixture of approval and entrustment: "This Zhao Hu will have to stay here with you for a few more days, until I finish dealing with what I have to do."

"Please keep an eye on him for a few more days and don't let him run away. Once I'm done with this, you'll get your share of the rewards."

Upon hearing this, Ma San immediately patted his chest, his face beaming with excitement and loyalty at being given such an important task: "Brother Yang! Look at what you're saying. It's my honor to work for you. Don't mention how hard it is."

"Don't worry, I guarantee I'll keep a close watch on him; not even a fly will be able to get in."

Yang Shuisheng nodded in satisfaction, took out a hundred yuan from his pocket, and stuffed it into Ma San's hand: "Take this money. You can spend it however you like, except for gambling."

Ma San's eyes lit up as he looked at the large ten-yuan note in his hand, but he still declined, saying, "Brother Yang! This...this is too much!"

Yang Shuisheng gave him a hundred last time, and because he didn't gamble, he still has quite a bit left.

"Take it if I tell you to." Yang Shuisheng didn't allow him to refuse. "As long as you do things well, there will be plenty of benefits like this in the future."

Ma San happily put the money away, becoming even more devoted to Yang Shuisheng: "Brother Yang, don't worry, my life is yours from now on."

Yang Shuisheng left Ma San's residence in a good mood.

This trip not only yielded damaging information about Cai Jinwen, but also revealed the address of Cai Jinwen's mistress, giving him several trump cards to use against Cai Jinwen.

He walked briskly and quickly returned to the Shili Xiang Restaurant.

The scene inside caught his eye.

In stark contrast to the deserted state when I arrived, the restaurant was now packed with customers at three tables, eating and chatting, even though it wasn't quite lunchtime yet. The atmosphere was lively and bustling.

The air was filled with the aroma of food, and the sizzling sound of stir-frying and Xu Xiuxia's busy yet cheerful shouts came from the stove.

"Shuisheng's back? Is everything done?"

Seeing Yang Shuisheng return, Xu Xiuxia, who was carrying dishes out of the kitchen, immediately put on a big smile: "Perfect timing, I just braised a pot of pig's trotters, it smells delicious, sit down and have some before you go."

Yu Qianwei, who was sitting in the corner feeling a bit bored, immediately stood up when she saw Yang Shuisheng, a relieved smile on her face, and quickly went to greet him: "You're back!"

"Sister Xia, I'll skip the meal. I have an appointment to eat at Yuelai Restaurant at six o'clock, and it's almost time, so I need to hurry over."

Yang Shuisheng nodded to Yu Qianwei, then smiled at Xu Xiuxia and said, "I'll take Qianwei with me. I'll come back another day to try your braised pig's trotters."

"Alright, then hurry up and go! Don't keep them waiting."

When Xu Xiuxia heard that he had a dinner appointment, she didn't insist that he stay. She just smiled and said, "Qianwei, come visit often when you have time."

"Thank you, Sister Xia." Yu Qianwei thanked her politely, then followed Yang Shuisheng out of the restaurant.

The two quickly arrived at the Yuelai Restaurant, located in the center of town.

Yuelai Restaurant is one of the best restaurants in town, with grand decor and two large red lanterns hanging at the entrance.

As dusk approached, the restaurant was bustling with people, and business seemed to be booming.

Yang Shuisheng, with Yu Qianwei by his side, was about to walk up the steps and enter the house.

Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a black T-shirt, a gold chain, and a beer belly, with his arm around a glamorous young woman, swaggered over from the side, preparing to enter the restaurant.

The man walked unsteadily, clearly having drunk quite a bit, and his eyes were fixed on a young girl like Yu Qianwei.

When Yu Qianwei saw the other person approaching, she subconsciously moved aside, but the other person staggered and, as if it were intentional, almost bumped into her.

To avoid him, Yu Qianwei slightly shifted her body to the side, paused for a moment, and ended up blocking the man's path.

"Ouch!" The man, his path blocked and his plan to bump into someone and gain an advantage thwarted, immediately glared with drunken eyes and started cursing, "Are your eyes on the back of your feet? Can't you see I'm going in? Are you looking to die blocking my way?!"

"Exactly! Where did this country bumpkin come from?"

The glamorous woman next to him immediately chimed in shrill voice, "Don't you even know where you are? Is this a place for people like you?"

"You're blocking our way, get out of here!"

Startled by the sudden insult, Yu Qianwei turned pale and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to..."

"What good is an 'sorry'? Is a simple 'sorry' enough?" The drunken man persisted, emboldened by the alcohol, he sized up Yu Qianwei several times. Seeing her simple attire and Yang Shuisheng's ordinary clothes, his eyes were filled with contempt and disdain. "Dressed like this, you dare to come to Yuelai Restaurant?"

Do you know how much a meal costs here?

"I doubt you could pay me even if you worked for a month. Get lost and stop getting in my way and ruining my fun!"
