C75 Zhang Wei's Fault?

Zhang Wei probably did not expect Doctor Qiu to say something like that. He stood up anxiously, "Doctor Qiu! I have no enmity with you, so why did you accuse me wrongly?! "

Doctor Qiu dodged backwards to avoid Zhang Wei's realization, "Lord, every word of this commoner is true, and there are no lies."

Hearing this, Zhang Wei's reaction became even more agitated. He wanted to stand up, but the bailiff on the side held him down and pushed him back down. Zhang Wei touched his knees to the ground and made a thumping sound.

Chi Qingyu couldn't help but feel her knees go soft when she heard that. Zhang Wei was kneeling straight on the ground, struggling to stand up.

"Master, I've never seen Doctor Qiu's prescription before, and you're telling me that it was me who seized it?" Zhang Wei argued.

Doctor Qiu glanced at him quietly but didn't say anything.

Zhang Wei kept glaring at Doctor Qiu, hoping to see a trace of lying on his face. However, a lie couldn't be written on the face. Zhang Wei couldn't see it.

With Doctor Qiu's testimony, it was indeed disadvantageous for Zhang Wei. The county magistrate did not believe a single word he said. Instead, he looked towards the yamen runner, "Someone, bring the family of the victim here."

Not long after, the family of the deceased was brought up. It was an old man in his fifties who was trembling as he knelt. His voice sounded like he was about to cry.

"My family's Liu just went to grab some medicine and then died. I was the only one left, wuu …" The old woman's voice resounded in the silent court, resonating with the crowd.

Chi Qingyu heard the people beside her say that this old woman was too pitiful.

She saw that although the old man was crying sorrowfully, he had a proper posture and his speech was full of vigor. Just like his voice just now, it didn't sound like a pitiful person at all.

However, from the perspective of a doctor, and from the perspective of emotions, everyone felt sympathy for this old woman.

"Old man, don't be in such a hurry, take your time." The county magistrate gestured for the old woman to speak slowly.

The old woman panted for a while before opening her mouth.

"That day, my family's Xiao Liu went to get the medicine from the Hospital. He said that a young man gave him the medicine, a total of three sets of medicine, and during the period of drinking the medicine, Xiao Liu became weaker and weaker every day. I thought that the medicine was useless and could not cure him, so I decided to take him to another place to get the medicine after he finished eating the medicine."

Having said that, the old woman choked with sobs for a while before continuing, "Who would have thought that even though I finished all the medicine, my Little Liu's life was also gone! That day, he drank the last pill and then said that he was tired and needed to rest properly. I didn't think too much about it, so this sleep will last until daybreak. My poor little willow! "

The old woman began to cry again. She cried sorrowfully, as if she would faint at any moment.

The county magistrate could not bear to watch this any longer, so he signaled for the servants to escort the old woman to the back to rest.

After the old woman was sent away, the county magistrate gave a hard smack on the wood, "Zhang Wei! Are you guilty? "

Zhang Wei straightened his back, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't admit it. This humble one is a good citizen, what crime is this?"

Hearing this, the county magistrate was so angry that his teeth were about to clench, "Even at this point, you still refuse to repent. Besides you, who else do you think is there? You three have a total of three people in your Hospital, Doctor Qiu, your boss, and the other young people that the elders speak of,"

"Why must it be me?" Zhang Wei asked the county magistrate.

The county magistrate was infuriated. He threw down the wooden board on the table and said, "You dare to contradict the county magistrate? Beat him!"

After saying that, a few people grabbed Zhang Wei and laid down, and they directly hit him on the butt with the board.

Zhang Wei was also a tough guy. He didn't make a sound and just let them beat him up.

After fighting for a while, the county magistrate felt that this was enough, so he said, "Alright, stop."

The constables stopped and Zhang Wei lay motionless on the ground. He was wearing a coarse cloth and was tightly sticking to his body. It was unknown how he was doing.

"Zhang Wei, I ask again, are you guilty?" the county magistrate asked again.

Zhang Wei looked up, gritted his teeth and said, "No!"

He didn't expect Zhang Wei to be such a tough nut to crack. The county magistrate frowned as he looked at Grand Master.

At this moment, the Grand Master was also frowning as if he was worried about something. He pondered for a moment, then walked to the county magistrate's side and said a few words.

Chi Qingyu acknowledged this county governor's way of doing things from the very beginning and felt that he was a decent person. At the very least, he was impartial. However, the attitude of the county magistrate wasn't quite right in the case that followed. It would be unavoidable for a young man like him to be sentenced.

Thinking back to what she had heard in the backyard, Chi Qingyu dared to be certain that if the matter were to go on like this today, Zhang Wei would not be able to escape his punishment.

From the looks of it, he seemed to be plotting something with the county magistrate. Chi Qingyu's gaze turned to Zhang Wei, who was lying on the ground motionlessly. After all, he wasn't a practitioner. His body definitely wouldn't be able to withstand a few blows.

Seeing that man just lying there, Chi Qingyu couldn't help but feel sorry for him. After all, he was her son's favorite little brother. Chi Qingyu thought that she should at least give him a hand.

When Chi Qingyu had made up her mind, the Grand Master had already finished his discussion with the county magistrate.

"Zhang Wei, the evidence is conclusive, yet you don't admit your wrongs, and you don't admit your wrongs even if you die. Do you know what kind of crime this is?" The county magistrate told Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei coldly snorted, "There's no excuse for wanting to commit the crime. If the county magistrate thinks I'm guilty, then I'm guilty. Anyway, I can't even open my mouth for you guys." With so many people watching, the neighbors all knew who I, Zhang Wei, was. I said that I didn't do it, so I didn't do it! "

An indignant voice shouted, causing those standing outside to be swayed. Seeing that the timing was right, Chi Qingyu stood up and shouted, "Master! This commoner is also a witness! "

This shout of hers caused everyone to set their gazes on her.

Chi Qingyu took a few steps forward. When she realized that no one was stopping her, she became even more daring and continued forward. Just like that, Chi Qingyu brazenly walked into the hall. She slowly kneeled down and saluted the county magistrate.

When the county magistrate saw her, he asked, "Who are you kneeling on?"

Chi Qingyu smiled and said out the fake name she had prepared a long time ago. Yunniang had brought this fake name with her when she came earlier, so this fake name really did belong to this Hospital neighborhood.

"Boss Qi." Do you know this person? " the county magistrate asked the black-hearted boss.

Boss Qi sized up Chi Qingyu and shook his head, "I don't know anything about adults."

Hearing that, the county magistrate asked Zhang Wei again, "Zhang Wei, what about you?"

When Zhang Wei saw Chi Qingyu, his expression was very complicated. He nodded, "Yes, I have."

Hearing Zhang Wei say that he had seen him before, the county magistrate nodded and said: "Why have you never met Boss Qi, but this shop assistant has?"
