Chapter 434: Not dead? The child can still be saved
"How dare you quibble! My child took the medicine you prescribed, and his condition became worse. Now he has passed away!" The man holding the child's body shouted with red eyes and gritted teeth. The villagers shouted: "Beat him to death!"
An old man in the crowd walked out tremblingly, pointed at the quack doctor and cursed: "You are an unscrupulous person. How can you take on such a job without a diamond drill? You provide free medical treatment and use fake medicines, which have harmed so many innocent people. What is your intention?! This is unforgivable!"
Most of the patients who came to see a doctor at the city gate were poor civilians. It was true that Doctor Hu wanted to use his good reputation to enter the Princess's Mansion, but he shouldn't use fake medicine to harm people. This was the most taboo thing in medical practice.
There was chaos in front of the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture. The people threw the vegetable leaves in their hands even harder. The crowd was so angry that the police could hardly stop them.
Lord Lu took the unused medicines from the people and asked the doctors in the capital to check them. He also found several witnesses who had been treated by Doctor Hu to question them. The coroner wanted to perform an autopsy on the child, but the child's father refused.
The child is already dead, so let him go in peace. The ancients believed that the dead are the greatest. Since the family members disagreed, Lord Lu did not force it.
A series of evidence proved that Doctor Hu bought fake medicinal materials for the sake of cheap prices, which aggravated the people's illnesses and even worse, caused their deaths.
Finally, the evidence was irrefutable. Because the situation was extremely bad and someone was killed, the people were furious. With the eldest princess as witness, Lord Lu directly sentenced Doctor Hu to a hundred lashes of the cane and beheaded him in the autumn. The man who sold the fake medicine was also arrested.
Doctor Hu collapsed to the ground on the spot. How could this happen? It was just a few fake medicines, how could they cost someone's life? He was unwilling to accept this. He had worked so hard for so long, but before he could make a comeback, he ended up like this.
In a hurry, he touched the bottle of newly developed ointment in his sleeve. This might be his only chance to survive. He moved to the side of the princess, knelt down and begged desperately: "Princess! Save me!"
The guard beside the princess kicked the man away and said, "Get lost! You are committing an offense against the princess. This is an even greater crime."
"Please save me, Princess. I have developed an ointment that can remove the scars on your face. If you save my life, I can definitely heal your face." Doctor Hu didn't want to die, and he banged his head against his head.
"Oh? Really?" The eldest princess looked down at him condescendingly.
"It's absolutely true." Doctor Hu said affirmatively.
"But compared with the common people, it doesn't matter whether I look good or not! Someone, come! Drag him away quickly." The princess cares about the common people. Doctor Hu did such a thing. Even if he can really cure her people, he cannot be kept.
"Help me, Princess! I am being wronged!"
Afterwards, the only sound in the hall was Doctor Hu's wailing. After being beaten with a hundred sticks, Doctor Hu's buttocks were beaten to a bloody mess. He was then dragged away by the officials and locked up in the Sky Prison.
When the people saw Doctor Hu being punished, they finally let out a sigh of relief. No one sympathized with him. They all said he deserved it and shouted that the princess was wise and Lord Lu was wise. Only the child's biological father came out of the yamen holding the child, his face pale. Even if Doctor Hu received the punishment he deserved, it would not matter because the child would never come back.
Yao Qingnian saw this scene not far away and felt a little sad. The child was innocent, and it was all because of Doctor Hu's momentary thought that such a tragedy happened. Doctors are practicing medicine to cure diseases and save lives, and they must not make mistakes.
She looked at the father and son passing by, shook her head, and was about to turn around and walk towards the carriage, but the moment she turned around, she caught a glimpse of the child's fingers moving. Thinking she was dazzled, she stopped and stared carefully, and sure enough, the child's hand moved again.
"Wait!" Yao Qingnian walked in front of the man.
"What's the matter, young lady?" The man's face was filled with grief.
"When was the child declared dead?" She looked at the child excitedly.
"The doctor from Baiyaotang diagnosed the case personally this morning. The person is dead. There is no point in saying anything more." The man looked honest and simple. His skin was tanned dark from years of hard work. His clothes were all patched. He looked like a poor farmer. Because of the accident with his child, he looked as if all his energy had been drained away.
"The child may not be dead, let me see!"
"Girl, stop joking. The doctor said the child is gone..."
"I'm not kidding you. I just saw the child's hands move. I know medical skills. If you put the child down, there might be a glimmer of hope."
"Really?" Looking at Yao Qingnian in gorgeous clothes in front of him, he spoke a little awkwardly. He didn't believe that this girl could come back to life.
The villagers who were traveling with her also didn't believe it: "Girl, the dead can't be resurrected. The child's father is already very sad, so don't make things worse."
"Yes, let the child rest in peace."
"It's all that bad woman's fault. If it weren't for her, Shunzi, a good child, would have died without saying anything."
"Shunzi's father, you must divorce her when you go back. You can't have such an evil woman."
For a moment, everyone was talking at once, and the child's father didn't know what to do.
Yao Qingnian didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but this was a human life after all, and she couldn't just stand by and watch, so she asked the child's father to put the child on the ground and she examined the child on the spot.
The girl in front of him didn't look like a bad person, and there was nothing to lose anyway, so he gently put the child on the ground.
Yao Qingnian squatted down to examine the child named Shunzi. Sure enough, the child was not dead. It should be the side effect of Dr. Hu's fake medicine that caused the nervous system to be suppressed and caused a state of suspended animation, making everyone think that the child was dead.
Yao Qingnian began to give the child first aid. She performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation first. With the child's scream, everyone believed that the child was not really dead. The man looked at the child excitedly and could hardly believe his eyes. The onlookers were amazed.
"The child is not out of danger yet. I need to find a place to detoxify him."
"Okay, girl, I'll listen to you." Shunzi's father nodded repeatedly. Now he believed whatever Yao Qingnian said.
"Go to our clinic." The doctor at Baiyaotang witnessed Yao Qingnian saving people and was so shocked that his jaw dropped. When he heard that someone needed a place to save people, he immediately asked her to go to his clinic.
Yao Qingnian didn't have time to think about it, so he asked someone to take the child to the clinic. After the manager of the clinic heard about it, he immediately asked someone to vacate a room.
She asked everyone to go out and began to treat the child. After several hours of treatment, the child's life was finally saved.
She pushed the door open and went out, and saw people gathered outside the door. She stopped herself from yawning.
"Girl, how is it?" Everyone looked at her expectantly.
