After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 414: Concealing the truth is better than death, beating with sticks to tell the truth

Everyone was taken away, except Yin Ayao. Ding Xirui and Lin Mingxuan were also detained. Li Xingjian held the paper containing the powder and did not speak for a long time. Yin Ayao was shaking like a sieve.

"Sir..." He was almost unable to hold on, "This medicine powder was obtained by me by chance. It has nothing to do with the Yin family or you, young master."

Li Xingjian closed his eyes, and the veins on his forehead popped out. "When did you buy it? Where did you buy it? Who did you buy it from? How much did it cost?"

"Xiaomin...about a month ago, in a pub...Xiaomin doesn't remember it very well."

"Nonsense!" Li Xingjian shouted, and even Ding Xirui was shocked.

"Since it is a foreign thing and can cause hallucinations and madness, it must be very expensive. How can a mere slave like you get the money?"

"Common people..."

"Are you stealing?"

“No…no…” Yin Ayao kowtowed repeatedly, “I dare not, I dare not.”

"Tell me the truth, where did you buy it?"

"Sir." Yin Ayao raised his head, his forehead was already red: "I used drugs to harm people, I admit it, please don't ask any more questions!" After saying that, he kowtowed again, his forehead was broken, and blood gradually flowed out.

Ding Lin and the other man looked at each other, then looked at Li Xingjian, and stayed where they were without moving.

"I will ask you one last time, where did this thing come from?"

Yin Ayao hesitated, the blood on his forehead had already slid down, hitting the ground and instantly covered with dust.

"Brother," Lin Mingxuan said, "I have heard about the power of this powder in Jiangjin County. A merchant took an overdose and his whole body convulsed, eventually becoming paralyzed. Another person went straight to the sea at night and drowned. This is poison, a life-threatening poison. If you don't tell us, more people will be harmed or even die."

Yin Ayao lowered his head to the ground, sobbing softly, "I can't do anything... If I tell you, Master..."

"What will happen to Yin Tianyou?"

“No… no… it’s none of your business…” Yin Ayao quickly denied.

Li Xingjian shook his sleeves, his face full of anger.

"So, this medicine was given to you by the young master, and was purchased by the Yin family?"

"No...no..." Yin Ayao straightened up, knelt down and crawled towards Li Xingjian, grabbed his clothes, "Sir, my mother is still in the Yin family, please don't ask anymore!" He was in tears.

Li Xingjian clenched his fist and pushed him away. "If it wasn't given to you by Yin Tianyou, where did you get it from? You just need to tell me who is selling it and where."

"Sir..." Yin Ayao collapsed to the ground, sobbing. If he revealed the seller, the seller would definitely give out the buyer under strict investigation. At that time, who would the Yin family find as a scapegoat? Maybe that scapegoat would be him. In the end, he would not be able to escape death, and his mother would be implicated.

Yin Ayao suddenly stood up and said, "Mom, I'm sorry!" After that, he rushed to the pillar under the porch. Everyone was a little surprised. Ding Xirui quickly picked up the teapot at hand and smashed it at Yin Ayao's feet.

With a "bang", Yin Ayao stumbled and fell. Ling Junsheng and others rushed forward and held him down tightly, "Behave yourself!"

"Let me go, let me die, I will be clean when I die." Yin Ayao burst into tears. He wanted to grab the broken porcelain pieces, but his hands could not move.

"Take him away, and..." Li Xingjian paused, as if he had made up his mind: "Bring Yin Tianyou here."

"Yes."

Two yamen runners picked him up and dragged him to the prison. Not long after, Yin Tianyou was pulled over. The young man seemed to have grown another mouth, cursing and threatening non-stop. Ding Xirui felt that he was extremely noisy and could not help but turn his face away.

"Come here, beat him with sticks!" Li Xingjian ordered directly.

"Li Xingjian, if you dare to hit me, my father will not let you go, and neither will my grandfather or my uncle!"

"beat!"

After two blows, Yin Tianyou lost all his energy. "Ouch, I was wrong, Lord Li, spare me! Dad, come and save me! Ouch!"

Two more blows of the stick and the begging for mercy became even louder: "Master Li, whatever you want to know, I will tell you everything. Ouch!"

"Stop~" Li Xingjian waved his hand, picked up the piece of paper that still had residual powder on it, and shook it in front of Yin Tianyou:

"Mr. Yin, I have no intention of causing trouble for you or Sima Yin. I just want to know where you bought this powder."

"I do not know……"

"Keep fighting!" Li Xingjian ordered again with an expressionless face.

"No, sir!" Yin Tianyou rolled down.

"I bought this in a foreign shop. They said it was a good thing that could make people as happy as gods. My lord, I didn't know it was actually poison!"

"Nonsense, if you didn't know it was poison, how could you put it in someone else's drink and ruin their reputation?"

"Sir, I... because the medicine has a special effect, I just want to scare you... just scare you..."

Li Xingjian sneered: "You want to laugh at the ignorance of the people of Lan County and tease me!"

"No, no, no! I dare not!" Yin Tianyou waved his hands quickly.

Li Xingjian glanced at him and sighed: "Where is the foreign shop?"

"In..." Yin Tianyou hesitated again.

"You still want to be beaten?"

"No, no, no, sir, it's in Qizhou City, in a small alley."

"What alley?"

"Sanbao Lane." Yin Tianyou lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"What's the name of the store?"

"There is no name, but the decoration at the door is different from other places, you can tell it at a glance..." Yin Tianyou's voice became even lower.

Li Xingjian breathed a sigh of relief, his expression changed instantly, he squatted down and helped Yin Tianyou up: "Thank you for your cooperation, Master Yin."

"Master Li, this is all me, and all that a commoner should do..."

"The drug powder is harmful to the public. I really have no other choice but to investigate. Master Yin, if you don't tell me now, if Lord Yin finds out in the future, the Yin family has a strict family tradition and Lord Yin is upright. I'm afraid you will..."

Yin Tianyou shuddered, "Thank you, sir. I will be careful with my words and actions in the future and reform myself. I will reflect on my mistakes in prison."

"Master Yin is indeed a man of great righteousness. Come, send him to prison." Li Xingjian ordered.

"Yes."

The courtroom fell silent, but Lin Mingxuan was still worried. He didn't know what the powder was, and there was no other way to detoxify it except using licorice soup or mung bean soup. If the condition was serious, he didn't know what to do.

Ding Xirui knew what he was thinking and silently took a step closer.

The matter came to an end. The two of them bowed and said goodbye. At the gate of the government office, Ding Xirui saw a familiar face—Yue Ling! She pressed Lin Mingxuan's hand and stood not far away, watching.

Yue Ling's maids Azhu and Ahe supported her with tears in their eyes, but Yue Ling looked back every few steps. Finally, she turned around and asked the yamen runners at the door about the verdict on A Miao and others.

"Thank you, little brother." Yue Ling looked worried. If it was just a common disturbance, a few beatings and a few days of detention would be enough. I think the government wanted to use this opportunity to scare the children. Alas, those children are pitiful. Taking a step back, even if they were released immediately, what could she do? Apart from letting them live in the yard for two days and giving them a full meal, she couldn't think of any way to help them.

"Doctor Lin, Doctor Ding~" Azhu noticed the two people not far away and murmured.

"What's wrong, Ah Zhu?" Yue Ling looked over and suddenly felt uncomfortable in her throat again, and couldn't help coughing. Ah Zhu and Ah He patted her back to relieve the gas.

"Miss, those are two doctors from Jimin Clinic. Let's go to the clinic to take your pulse. You have suffered so much in there. Let's see if there is any problem with your body and whether you need any tonic medicine?" Azhu said.

"No need," Yue Ling smiled, "I eat well and sleep well. You guys send food in frequently. I'm fine."

"Miss, you don't look well." Ah He at the side also spoke up, "It's a coincidence that we met, let's go and take a look."

Yue Ling looked at the two girls, feeling somewhat helpless, and said, "Okay then." Let's go and have a look, and we'll all feel at ease.

A few people came over, Ding Xirui was a little surprised, he couldn't leave, nor go forward, so he had to wait there. Ah Zhu explained the purpose of their visit, she was relieved, and she and Yue Ling exchanged greetings. Yue Ling leaned over and stood up, it seemed a bit difficult, and her brows were slightly frowned.

After being in prison for half a year without sunlight and with the humidity inside, Yue Ling was weak and had developed arthritis and symptoms of lung deficiency. Lin Mingxuan felt her pulse, asked for details, and gave her his diagnosis.

"Miss..." Azhu's eyes turned red instantly.

"It's okay..." Yue Ling comforted and coughed gently a few times.

"Take some medicine and you'll feel better after a while." Ding Xirui also comforted him, "Clean the room, keep it warm and dry, and remember to get more sun and take more walks when the weather is fine."

"Yes." Ah Zhu wiped away her tears.
