God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

Inside the county government office, the county magistrate was sitting in the hall handling official business when he suddenly heard the sound of drums outside the hall.

The county magistrate frowned and shouted, "Who beat the drum? Bring him up."

Soon, the butler of the palace was brought to the hall. The butler looked panicked, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Sir, I am the butler of the palace. My son was beaten by Lu Tianyu and was seriously injured. I came to report the case and ask you to take care of my son."

The county magistrate looked solemn and asked, "Please tell me in detail what happened?"

The housekeeper said quickly, "My young master has always had conflicts with Lu Tianyu. Today, for some unknown reason, Lu Tianyu attacked my young master in the street. My young master was defenseless and was beaten all over. Sir, you must seek justice for my young master."

The county magistrate nodded slightly, turned to Qu Yamen next to him and said, "Go and check this matter, and make sure to find out the truth."

The servant Qu bowed and said, "Yes, sir." After that, he hurried away with a few of his men.

Not long after Qu Pu Tou left, the Minister's steward walked in with a swagger.

The housekeeper looked at the county magistrate with an arrogant look on his face and said, "Sir County Magistrate, my Lord Minister was very angry when he heard about this. That Lu Tianyu actually dared to beat up our young master. He is really audacious. Your Excellency must detain Lu Tianyu and punish him severely to demonstrate the majesty of the law."

The county magistrate looked embarrassed and said, "This matter has not been thoroughly investigated yet. I am afraid it is not appropriate to imprison Mr. Lu rashly."

The housekeeper snorted coldly and said, "What's wrong with that? How dare you, a mere county magistrate, disobey the words of my Lord Minister? Lu Tianyu is clearly a guilty person. If he is not detained, it will be difficult to appease the public anger."

The county magistrate frowned and said, "I will handle this impartially, but I must also follow the law. Without solid evidence, we cannot arbitrarily detain people."

The housekeeper said angrily, "Don't you want to be the county magistrate anymore? How dare you disobey the order of my Lord Minister? I tell you, if you don't do it, you will bear the consequences."

Although the county magistrate was dissatisfied, he did not dare to offend and said, "I will consider this matter again. Please tell the butler to go back and tell the minister. I will handle it properly."

The housekeeper shook his sleeves and said, "It's better to do so, otherwise you will be in trouble." After that, he left the county government office arrogantly.

The county magistrate sat in the hall with a worried look on his face.

Just then, Qu Yayi walked in.

"Sir, after investigation, this matter is not as the housekeeper of the palace said. It was Young Master Wang who sent people to surround Scholar Lu first, and Scholar Lu fought back, which was self-defense. Moreover, Scholar Lu did not beat Young Master Wang that day, he just gave him a slight lesson." said Qu Yayi.

The county magistrate touched his chin, thought for a moment and then said, "This matter needs further investigation. Let's first ask Mr. Lu to come to the county government for questioning."

After a while, Qu Putou and a group of yamen runners arrived at the gate of Lu's mansion.

When the gatekeeper of the Lu residence saw so many yamen runners, he was so scared that he ran in to report.

Lu Tianyu was discussing countermeasures with his father at this time. When he heard the report from the doorman, his heart tightened.

Doctor Lu's father said, "Yu'er, don't panic, let's go out and take a look."

The two men came to the front hall and saw Qu Putou standing there with a serious face, motionless like a sculpture.

Lu Tianyu looked at Captain Qu with a puzzled look on his face, secretly wondering what had happened.

He took a step forward and asked cautiously, "Captain Qu, why is this happening?"

Captain Qu looked at Lu Tianyu expressionlessly and replied in a cold tone: "Someone reported you for beating the prince of the palace. Now come back to the yamen with us for questioning."

When Lu Tianyu heard this, his brows furrowed, and a hint of anger and helplessness flashed in his eyes.

He knew that he had had conflicts with the prince, but he did not expect the other party to be so insidious and cunning as to report him to the government.

He suppressed his anger and defended himself, "This must be a deliberate false accusation by that prince. I was just fighting back in self-defense."

However, Qu Putou remained unmoved and said calmly: "We will sort out the right and wrong when we get to the yamen. Come with us first." After that, he waved his hand and signaled his men to take Lu Tianyu away.

Lu Tianyu had no choice but to follow the bailiffs to the yamen.

On the way, Qu Pu Tou said to Lu Tianyu, "Lu Xiucai, I am also following orders. That young master Wang insisted that you were the first to attack, and also said that you were arrogant and unreasonable. Can you tell me what happened?"

Lu Tianyu said angrily: "Qu Pu Tou, that young master Wang has been causing trouble for me time and time again, and yesterday he even brought people to surround me. I was just acting in self-defense."

Captain Qu sighed, "Alas, this prince is always arrogant and domineering, but he is not easy to mess with. If what you said is true, you must confess the truth when you arrive at the government office."
