C107 (2/2)
At the County Yamen entrance, the boss took out a drum and beat the drum loudly, shouting that there was injustice, the quiet County Yamen immediately moved, the mighty voices that came from the side startled Day Rui, making his heart beat faster, what should he do? Xia Li was not by his side, he was not a doctor, there was no one who could speak for him!
”Who is it!? It is still early in the morning, and I am being disturbed from my sweet dreams! ” With the support of a servant girl, the fat county magistrate An Ting leisurely walked to the imperial court and sat down.
At the side, the Grand Master could not help but approach An Ting and remind him: ”Master, your official hat is crooked.”
”Understood, step down!” Impatiently, An Ting propped up his crooked official hat and asked as his long and thin eyes swept over the old man on the stretcher, the four young and strong men surrounding him and Day Rui who was kneeling on the ground.
”Who is this servant kneeling on? What is it? ”
In reply to Great Master Qing Tian, I am Jingan's Lotus Village's Boss Lin, and the three by his side are my brothers, and the one lying on the stretcher is my father. This morning, we sent our father to the Xia Clan's hospital to see him, but who would have known that this person would dawdle and delay us for so long.
Boss Lin pointed at Day Rui and said angrily.
”Kneeling at the side, what is your name? Tell me your name, is what Boss Lin said the truth?” An Ting slapped the big wood and asked Day Rui.
In reply to the old master, I am Day Rui, and am from Jing'an County of Jing'an County of Jing'an County. Boss Lin's father did indeed lose his life during our hospital, however, all the doctors of our hospital were not present at that time. This humble one has already explained the situation at that time, and asked them to quickly go to another hospital to seek medical treatment.
”In other words, your hospital was not well-prepared, and you neglected the patient, causing the patient to lose his life! What else do you have to say to that! ”
An Ting interrupted Day Rui and directly pronounced the sentence on him.
”The Xia Clan's hospital has wasted the patient's life, delaying the patient's best treatment time. Day Rui, shouldering the unavoidable responsibility, jabbed Day Rui into prison, and after three days of interrogation and execution, the Xia Clan's hospital will compensate the victim's with a funeral expenses of one hundred silver taels!”
”Thank you, Old Master Qingtian!” Hearing that, the eyes of the four men from Lin Family all lit up, and they excitedly knelt in front of An Ting.
”My lord, I am wrongly accused, my lord!” No matter how Day Rui shouted, no one paid attention to him.
A few constables grabbed Day Rui and brought him back to the prison.
Xia Li and Sun Chun who were still at the Nine Dragon Mountain of Tianshui Village to pick herbs saw attending doctor running over to the mountain to deliver the news. The two of them suddenly heard the news that had been sentenced to death and they immediately left the mountain, returning with their carriages.
Xia Li was worried about Day Rui's safety, so he did not dare delay for even a second. He ran to the front of County Yamen door to look for County Head, and see if he can find a way to take back the verdict of killing Day Rui.
When she knocked on the door, the entire County Yamen was deathly quiet. No matter how much strength she used to knock on the door, no one replied.
”It's too late now. I know you're worried about Day Rui's life, so it's better for us to stay at the County Yamen's entrance for the night, or go and find the county magistrate.” Sun Chun said.
”But where do we go to find the county magistrate? The door to the mansion is now closed, and he usually lives here.” Xia Li was also confused. After all, she didn't know what was going on inside at the moment.
”Then we'll just wait here and wait for him. He'll come back here sooner or later anyway.” Sun Chun said as he brought Xia Li into his embrace.
”Alright, we will wait for him here. This is too strange, as soon as the sun rises, we will go and find the family that informed on Day Rui.” Xia Li was panicking in his heart. His hands trembled as he tightly grabbed onto Sun Chun's hand and leaned into his embrace, his gaze firmly staring at the manor's gate.
”Hide yourself well here, I plan to go to the government office and have a look.” Sun Chun hugged Xia Li tightly and whispered into her ear.
”You want to go in?” Xia Li was obviously surprised, but when she thought of Sun Chun's exceptional martial arts, she did not feel anything strange.
”Right.” Sun Chun nodded, the expression on his face couldn't be seen clearly in the dark night.
”Then be careful! I'll hide in the alley opposite. Don't worry about me, I'll take good care of myself. ” Although Xia Li was afraid in her heart, in order to save Day Rui, she was willing to give it her all.
Sun Chun kissed Xia Li's forehead lightly and then flew inside the palace. Taking this opportunity, Xia Li hid himself in the alley opposite and waited for Sun Chun to return.
In the dark night, Sun Chun took out a black cloth from his clothes to cover his face. He flew along the walls of the County Yamen and entered the backyard.
He passed through the fake mountain, pavilion, and lotus pond in the backyard, but he did not find the figure of County Head An Ting. At this time, a majority of the people in the backyard had already rested, with only a few gatekeeping servants gathered together to chat.
Sun Chun circled around these people, went through the crescent arch in the back courtyard, and entered a house. He coincidentally met a little girl, took the opportunity to jump out, covered her nose and mouth, and dragged her to a dark corner as he spoke.
”Don't shout, or I'll strangle you right now!”
