You are my golden finger

Murong Xu opened the door of the ward and let the family members in. After being persuaded by Banxia and others, the woman stopped crying and her husband followed her in.

The woman was probably too excited, and she stumbled towards the bed and almost fell. Lin Xijin pulled her and she managed to steady herself.

"Don't worry, your child's fever has gone down, and he will be fine after taking medicine for a few more days." Lin Xijin comforted him softly. Due to her professional habit, she was always extra patient with patients and their families.

The woman looked at the child on the bed. His breathing was steady and his complexion was normal. It was obvious that he no longer had a high fever.

"Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Princess, for saving my son!" The woman hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Xijin.

"Thank you, Princess!" The man also knelt down and thanked her repeatedly.

"Get up and answer the question." Lin Xijin said, "How many days has your child been sick? Has he taken any medicine?"

"My son has been ill for five days. We live in the countryside. He went to the town to see a doctor and took medicine for four days, but there was no improvement. Seeing that his condition was getting worse, I rushed here tonight." The woman hurriedly stood up and answered.

"Did you bring the medicine?"

The man quickly took out a small bamboo tube and handed it to Lin Xijin: "I brought this medicine for my son to drink on the road. He had a fever and couldn't drink it, so there's a little left."

Lin Xijin opened the medicine and smelled it. The medicine was indeed a common lung-clearing and fever-reducing medicine, but it had a musty smell, indicating that the herbs had become damp and spoiled. It was obvious that this clinic was selling inferior products as good ones.

Lin Xijin has zero tolerance for people who use human lives to make money, and is unwilling to condone evil. So he asked, "Which town are you from? Do you still have this medicine residue at home? The medicine the pharmacy gave you has already moldy and spoiled."

"Damn that drug store owner! He almost killed my son. I'm going to smash his store when I get back!" The woman cried hysterically after hearing what Lin Xijin said.

The man was more rational and patiently replied to Lin Xijin's words: "My lord, I am Huang Jianhua, a villager from Shanglin Village in Xinyi Town. We were diagnosed and prescribed medicine at the Li's Medical Clinic in town."

"Your child's illness was originally just a cold, but due to untimely treatment, it developed into a lung disease. If you hadn't come to this hospital tonight, your child would have died. It's all because of this medicine! I'll give you an idea. You can sue such unscrupulous businesses." Seeing that the man was knowledgeable, Lin Xijin gave him some advice.

"Sue! We must sue him." The woman was brave and was instantly inspired and excited.

The man hesitated for a while before saying, "My Lady, I heard that this Li's Clinic was opened by a relative of the town's head of the government. Can we, the common people, win the lawsuit?"

"I'll have the hospital issue you a diagnosis certificate. Take this medicine and the dregs from your home and go file a complaint. An Yi, take your men to seal off the pharmacy and have the imperial physician check it immediately so that these merchants who take human lives lightly will not be able to escape."

After hearing Lin Xijin's arrangement, Huang Jianhua was obviously emboldened and said loudly, "Thank you, Princess! I'll go back and sue him right away."

Lin Xijin asked Banxia to issue a diagnosis certificate immediately, and sent the imperial physician Deng, Yuzhu and Beican who were on duty to follow Huang Jianhua, Anyi and others to Xinyi Town to make the unscrupulous businessman pay the price.

When An Yi and his companions arrived at Xinyi Town, they quickly split up. An Yi sent his men to guard the Li's Medical Hall with Yuzhu and Bei Can, not giving the other party a chance to secretly do anything. He took Doctor Deng and Huang Jianhua home to get the medicine residue.

Arriving at Huang Jianhua's house, Doctor Deng picked up the medicine residue and smelled it. As Lin Xijin had judged, the medicine had all gone moldy. Doctor Deng was even more impressed by Lin Xijin's superb medical skills.

When they returned to the town, the yamen runners and the mayor had already gone to the yamen. A member of the imperial guards and Huang Jianhua were waiting outside the yamen.

"Go ahead." An Yi gave Huang Jianhua an encouraging look.

With the encouragement of An Yi and Doctor Deng, Huang Jianhua ran directly to the government office and beat the drum to appeal for justice. When the mayor heard the drum, he had no choice but to go to court to hear the case.

"Mr. Mayor, I am Huang Jianhua, a villager of Shanglin Village. I am suing the Li's Clinic for violating medical ethics and taking human lives lightly. They used spoiled medicinal materials as substitutes for genuine ones and almost killed my child." Huang Jianhua handed over the petition written for him by An Yi.

"Do you have any evidence?" the mayor asked sternly without showing any expression.

"Yes. I have the remaining drug residue and juice, as well as a diagnosis certificate issued by the Kyoto Medical College Hospital."

"Who can ask a doctor to verify it?" When the mayor heard that Huang Jianhua came prepared, he could only pretend to enforce the law impartially.

"I'll go get the doctor." Upon hearing this, the yamen head immediately wanted to take this opportunity to inform Huang Jianhua, but Huang Jianhua was not willing to give him the chance.

"No need. The imperial physician from the Imperial Court has come with me and is waiting outside the yamen." Huang Jianhua became more and more calm.

"Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier? Why did you let the imperial physician wait outside?" The mayor hurriedly left his seat and ran outside to greet the imperial physician.

"Your humble servant is here to meet the imperial physician. I am ashamed for not welcoming you in person!" The mayor hurriedly bowed and apologized when he saw the imperial physician Deng.

"Lead the way, and go to Li's Medical Clinic immediately to check the medicinal materials and see if what Huang Jianhua said is true." Doctor Deng didn't bother to talk to him and gave the order decisively.

Upon hearing this, the yamen head immediately winked at one of his subordinates. The subordinate received the hint and ran away hurriedly through another road, apparently in a hurry to inform the other party.

The mayor and the yamen head were leading the way personally, walking slowly and shakily, obviously trying to delay time.

An Yi and Doctor Deng didn't care and gave these clowns enough time to perform.

Several people slowly arrived at the Li's Medical Hall. The Yatou's men stood far away, waving their hands and making secret messages. The guards, Yuzhu and Beican firmly guarded the door of the medical hall, not letting anyone in or out.

The shopkeeper was so anxious that he scratched his head and didn't know what to do.

"The Imperial Medical Bureau is checking the medicine. Unrelated people should stay away." Imperial Physician Deng took out the Imperial Physician's Order and took Yuzhu and Beishen in to check the medicine.

The results came out soon. It was found that more than ten kinds of commonly used medicinal materials were moldy and deteriorated, and most of the other medicinal materials were of very poor quality and their efficacy could not be guaranteed.

There are good medicines in the medical hall, but they are not placed in the medicine cabinet, but in the medicine cabinet in the backyard. It seems that those medicinal materials are specially used for the nobles.

"Take all these medicinal herbs back to the government office! Seal the clinic for me." He gave the order in secret.

"Who are you? Is it your turn to give orders?" The yamen head saw An Yi driving a carriage and thought he was the coachman, so he said sarcastically.

An Yi took out the token from his arms, and said with the same coldness and sternness as his master, Master Murong: "Do you recognize this? Do you think I am qualified to issue orders?"

When the yamen head saw the crown prince's order that An Yi took out, he was immediately frightened and kowtowed to admit his guilt: "Sir, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault that I didn't recognize the real master!"

"Stop talking nonsense and take the suspect back to the yamen for interrogation." An Yi ordered.
