Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Chapter 133: Using Human Life to Set Up a Game

Miaoxin Hall.

Xie Qingli laid the child flat on the bed, reached out to touch the child's wrist, felt a weak pulse, and couldn't help but feel happy.

Doctors Li and Tang heard the commotion outside and rushed out. They were horrified to see Xie Qingli carrying the child's body in. But when they each felt the child's wrist, their eyes widened in shock. There was actually a pulse?! What the hell!

Xie Qingli ignored them and instead parted the child's hair to check. Sure enough, he found a wound on the top of the head. The wound was long and narrow, about the length of a finger, and the scalp around it was swollen.

Xie Qingli's expression was slightly stern. The wound didn't look like it was caused by a stone, but rather by a long weapon.

She looked at the woman coldly and said in a deep voice, "How did you get this wound? You might as well tell the truth!"

The woman was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a thud and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, it was my uncle who hit me with a hoe."

Doctor Li's eyes widened as he looked at the woman in disbelief, and he shouted angrily, "How could you have the heart to do that to such a young child? And how can you be a mother? Why do you let others beat your child?" Doctor Li's granddaughter was also of the same age. He couldn't imagine how he would react if this happened to his granddaughter.

Xie Qingli had a hunch that something was wrong. She lifted the child's clothes and saw purple marks all over. She asked coldly, "What are these bruises?"

The woman's eyes were filled with tears as she choked up and said, "My sister-in-law beat me. She hated Ni'er for eating plain rice and often beat and scolded her."

Xie Qingli closed his eyes, feeling a dull pain in his heart. What kind of hell was this little girl living in?

She looked at Doctor Li and Doctor Tang and said gently, "The child is unconscious because of a blood clot in her brain. I will give her acupuncture later. Please treat the wound on her head first." She paused slightly, her eyes suddenly turning cold, "I have other things to take care of first!"

Doctor Li and Doctor Tang looked at each other and quickly got to work.

Xie Qingli walked to the next room and ordered in a cold voice: "Go and bring that scumbag in."

A moment later, Ding Bo brought the man in. His hands were tied behind his back and he kept cursing. Seeing this, the young man kicked him to his knees.

Xie Qingli sat upright on a chair, twisting a few silver needles in his hand, and asked softly, "Why do you hit the child with a hoe?"

Panic flashed in the man's eyes, and he stiffened his neck and said, "Don't throw dirty water on me. I have never done such a wicked thing."

Xie Qingli curled his lips slightly and said in a cold voice: "This young master likes people like you who are stubborn. I hope you can still be so stubborn in a while!"

The man panicked, "What do you mean? What are you going to do?"

Xie Qingli stopped talking nonsense and casually threw out two silver needles.

The silver needle pierced the man's body, and he felt an excruciating pain. He rolled on the ground and let out a heartbreaking howl. But after a few breaths, he howled intermittently: "I said, ah, yes, it is the Deyitang sect, ah, ah, please, please stop, ah, ah~"

Xie Qingli watched the man struggle in pain with cold eyes until his voice gradually became lower. Then she slowly stood up and quickly retrieved the silver needle.

The pain subsided, but the man remained limp on the ground, motionless. His face was pale, and his body was drenched in sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water. His eyes moved, and when he saw Xie Qingli, who was looking at him coldly, it was as if he had seen the King of Hell, and he struggled to move his body backwards.

Xie Qingli said calmly: "Go ahead."

The man shuddered and said in a trembling voice, "After my eldest brother died, Shao Shi and Ni Er came to live with us. But Shao Shi could earn a few copper coins doing some laundry work, but Ni Er was just a freeloader."

"My wife thinks Ni'er is in the way and wants to sell her, but she's a little young and not very pretty, so she can't fetch a good price."

"Yesterday, while I was strolling down the street, I ran into a neighbor who works as a clerk at Deyi Hall. He told me he had a great deal that he could make fifty taels of silver if he did it right."

"This was such a good deal, so naturally I jumped at the chance. He gave me five taels of silver and told me to find a recently deceased person to cause trouble in your clinic. Deyi Hall would help make things worse, and after that, they would give me the remaining silver. I went home and discussed this with my wife, and she immediately said that Ni'er would be the best choice. She's a child, so it's easier for the people to sympathize with her."

"Today, I took advantage of Ni'er's inattention and swung the hoe at her head. She fell to the ground immediately. I checked and found she wasn't breathing, so I quickly carried her here."

Xie Qingli's face was gloomy as he ordered the man to be taken away. Deyi Hall? They actually dared to use human life to set up a scheme. They were truly audacious!

Ding Bo dismissed the others in the room and whispered, "Sir, I've done some research and found out that Deyi Hall is owned by the Huo family, a major drug dealer in Dongling. Over 80% of the medicinal materials used in the pharmacies and clinics in Shengjing City are supplied by the Huo family. They even have a practical monopoly on the medicinal materials used in the palace."

"There are five Deyitangs in Shengjing City, all occupying prime locations. Where a Deyitang opens, there won't be another clinic within a few miles. Even if some clinics open, they close down within a few days. I didn't know why before, but now I finally know."

Xie Qingli frowned slightly and asked calmly, "Who is behind the Huo family? The Queen Mother, Queen Meng, Prince Zhong, the Princess? Or the Emperor?"

A flash of surprise flashed across Ding Bo's eyes. The young lady actually knew all this. He suppressed the shock in his heart and whispered, "It's the Meng family."

Xie Qingli nodded slightly. It turned out to be Queen Meng. Things were a bit tricky.

If the dispute between Miaoxintang and Deyitang clinics was reported to Jingzhao Yin, the one who would most likely suffer the loss would be Miaoxintang, which has no background.

If Shao went to the Dali Temple to sue her uncle for killing Ni'er, the Dali Temple would probably close such a small case hastily and would not hurt Deyitang at all. They could use some money to buy other lives next time and continue to cause trouble.

Xie Qingli sighed lightly, but saving lives was the most important thing, so she quickly returned to the next room. Doctor Li and Doctor Tang had already treated Ni'er's wound. After checking, Xie Qingli nodded with great satisfaction.

She first felt Ni'er's pulse, took out a silver needle and heated it over the fire, then inserted the needles skillfully. In just a few breaths, Ni'er's head was full of silver needles.

Doctor Li and Doctor Tang stood by and stared at Xie Qingli's movements without blinking, their hearts filled with shock. Such complicated acupuncture techniques and such skilled skills were something they had never seen before.

The two men looked at Xie Qingli with more and more respect, but their mood became more and more solemn. He had mastered such advanced medical skills at such a young age. How could they, who had practiced medicine all their lives but were still mediocre, feel embarrassed?

Xie Qingli didn't know what the two of them were thinking. After the acupuncture was completed, the waiter brought in the boiled medicine. Xie Qingli took the medicine and patiently fed it to Ni'er one spoonful at a time.

Doctor Li and Doctor Tang felt even more ashamed. Master Wangwang had such advanced medical skills and he could treat his patients personally, unlike them, old guys who liked to put on airs.

At this moment, Leng Shuang walked in quickly. She glanced at Doctor Li and Doctor Tang and whispered, "Sir, your friend is here to visit and is waiting for you in the flower hall in the backyard..."
