C76 Prescription
"Master, from what you said, Boss Qi knows a lot of people. He even knows a few of his own doctors, so how could he know a passerby like me?" Chi Qingyu mocked Boss Qi with a smile.
Boss Qi turned pale and looked away.
The county magistrate realized that Chi Qingyu wasn't a good person and didn't have good intentions, so he hurriedly asked, "What evidence do you have?"
Chi Qingyu immediately asked for the evidence. Of course, Chi Qingyu didn't have it. She looked around at the people kneeling before her and said, "I have the pharmacy that Doctor Qiu prescribed at that time. It can be checked by the lord. If there's a problem with Doctor Qiu's prescription, can you prove Zhang Wei's innocence?"
When these words were spoken, the county magistrate's complexion did not look too good. His complexion did not look good, but it did not matter, and he still pretended to be sensible and asked with a smile, "That's great. Hand over the prescription."
"Hand it over?" Chi Qingyu wasn't an idiot, how could she possibly take out the prescription? Even if she didn't have the formula, she wouldn't have given it up if she did have it.
The county magistrate signaled for her to hurry up and hand it over. A bailiff by the side also came to pick up the prescription.
Chi Qingyu smiled and waved her hand. "I can take out the prescription, but can the lord tell me what you want to do with it?"
Hearing this, the county magistrate was startled. Glancing at the Grand Master, he said, "Naturally, we must find someone to verify if the medicinal formula is harmful. We must make clear the truth of this matter."
Chi Qingyu nodded her head in agreement, "I won't hide it from you, sir. This humble one is also a doctor. Regarding the recipe, this humble one is the best at it. If my lord trusts, this humble one can also tell you what I've discovered from the formula."
"Nonsense!" The county magistrate immediately turned hostile, "You are the one who provided the evidence, how can I let you be the one to evaluate the matter? No, we have to look for someone else first!"
Chi Qingyu was waiting for these exact words. She smiled as she took out a pill from her pocket and said, "This is the pill that I specially prepared. If it was the Truth Pill, if you were to lie, you would bleed to death from your orifices.
After handing the pills over, Chi Qingyu observed the county magistrate's expression. Indeed, the county magistrate's expression changed as he sat there, not saying or accepting anything at all.
After a while, Chi Qingyu couldn't help but ask, "Sir?"
The county magistrate recovered his wits and frowned as he looked at the pill in Chi Qingyu's hand. "I'm afraid it won't do to prove whether or not the person is lying with a single pill. We're investigating a case, not creating another one. This won't do!"
After being rejected again, Chi Qingyu didn't get angry. She put away the pill in her hand and changed the way she did it instead of talking about the pill.
"Since sire says that the pill won't work, then I'll give you evidence. I must have my own thoughts on the prescription. sire, please invite someone else to come and see the formula. Can I also give you an opinion on how to evaluate the formula?" Chi Qingyu asked the county magistrate.
The county magistrate obviously didn't want Chi Qingyu to say anything. With just these few words, he could tell that Chi Qingyu's heart was with Zhang Wei. If she were to open her mouth, it would definitely be beneficial to Zhang Wei.
Chi Qingyu knew that he would refuse, so she pretended to be helpless.
"My lord, I am helpless to do something like this. You've made a few demands, yet you're still not fulfilling them. If I take out the evidence, wouldn't that mean that I don't have any conditions to benefit myself?"
Hearing this, the county magistrate frowned, "Isn't it perfectly justified to clear the grievances of those who were wronged? Why are you trying to bargain with me?"
Chi Qingyu didn't want to bargain, but this county magistrate was clearly biased. She had no choice but to bargain.
"To the county magistrate, this is indeed a matter of course, but I am a commoner. To me, it is not a matter of course, but of mood. I have proof, but as the lord has said, someone has to appraise the proof. If not, why don't you take it out for everyone to see, and let everyone remember what the formula looks like? No matter how fair the person is, it is not as fair as the onlookers.
Chi Qingyu took out a folded piece of paper and walked towards the people in the hall.
When these words were spoken, the surrounding crowd naturally did not mind the commotion and nodded in agreement.
Doctor Qiu couldn't sit still anymore as the county magistrate's face turned ashen. He stood up as well, pointed at Chi Qingyu, and shouted, "You liar! You don't even have a prescription! "
Everyone heard Doctor Qiu's words, so Chi Qingyu naturally heard it as well. She turned around and looked at Doctor Qiu and asked: "Do you think that I don't have the prescription and would stand here spouting nonsense?"
Doctor Qiu stood up to speak because he was forced to a corner. Everyone looked at him and his courage dropped again, "I …" I already tore that prescription to pieces, so how could you have it! You can't have it! "
When he said the last sentence, Doctor Qiu's tone was very serious.
It was true that Chi Qingyu couldn't have a prescription, but no one else did!
"You said it's ruined? How do you know you didn't destroy a fake prescription? " Chi Qingyu laughed to her heart's content.
Seeing how confident she was, Doctor Qiu started to panic. His gaze kept on glancing back, and behind him, the person who was standing right now was the senior.
Grand Master stood behind Doctor Qiu and was about to say something when Chi Qingyu hurried over and said, "Master, I guarantee that the prescription in my hand is real. Not only is this prescription real, it can also prove that there's something wrong with Doctor Qiu!"
Doctor Qiu couldn't help but say, "I'm fine!" after hearing that there's something wrong with Doctor Qiu. Milord, this commoner is definitely not a problem. Even if there's a problem, it's still the boss' problem, not mine! "
Hearing that, Chi Qingyu raised her eyebrows and looked at the boss, asking, "Boss, Doctor Qiu said you have a problem."
The owner's face turned pale as he looked at Doctor Qiu, "Doctor Qiu, you can't speak carelessly!"
Doctor Qiu's expression did not look good. He only said this in a hurry. He did not expect Chi Qingyu to use it as an excuse.
"That's not what I meant! "Lord, this isn't what this commoner meant. This commoner means that boss has seen the prescription as well, so there shouldn't be a problem!" Doctor Qiu quickly explained.
The owner also nodded, both of them proving their innocence.
Whenever there was a hint, Chi Qingyu would pull the thread and pull out all the clues to you. Then, she would slowly straighten it out. That was probably Chi Qingyu's strength.
"Doctor Qiu's words are reasonable. You mean, the boss knows your prescription. If there's really something wrong with your prescription, then the boss should share the same punishment as you, right?" Chi Qingyu analyzed calmly.
