Jin Yuyao walked out of the county government office, saw Zhou Shaokang and said, "Thank you."

Zhou Shaokang said embarrassedly, "Why thank me? I thought it would be helpful for my sake...but who knew it was useless. I didn't help you at all."

Jin Yuyao still said: "Then I still have to thank you."

Wang Jingshan said sarcastically, "You should be most concerned about me and Master Li. Only Master Li can turn the tide. Master Zhou is useless."

Jin Yuyao bowed deeply to Prince An and said, "Thank you very much for today, Master Li."

Prince An glanced at Wang Jingshan and said, "No need to thank me. We are all family, so there is no need to be so polite. You saved Madam Liu and me, so we should be grateful to you."

Prince An patted Wang Jingshan on the shoulder and said, "Jingshan, I never thought I would see you again. Seeing that you have a happy family, I feel relieved. I will stay here for a while. Come with me when the time comes. How did you get here? Take my carriage and leave together."

Wang Jingshan nodded.

Prince An and Wang Jingshan rode in the same carriage, while Jin Yuyao and Old Madam Liu sat in the carriage at the back.

Jin Yuyao looked at Old Madam Liu and said, "I want to thank you all today."

Madam Liu said, "You little girl, you didn't even bother to tell me when something happened to you. It was only when Wang Jingshan came to ask for help in the middle of the night that we found out. Otherwise, we wouldn't have known that you had gotten into such trouble."

Jin Yuyao said, "Mr. Li hasn't fully recovered yet, so I can't disturb him."

Madam Liu said, "Why should you be embarrassed to come to me? If we hadn't come today, you would have been wrongly accused to death."

Jin Yuyao said leisurely: "I thought that if I was upright, I wouldn't be afraid of my own shadow, but who would have thought..."

Madam Liu said, "These people are bullies who only care about the strong. If you have anything to say, just tell me. Don't forget that we are not just a doctor-patient relationship. Wang Jingshan and Master Li are brothers in life and death on the battlefield."

Jin Yuyao smiled but said nothing.

When they arrived at the clinic, Jin Yuyao and Wang Jingshan got out of the car. Prince An gave Wang Jingshan some specific instructions before leaving.

Wang Jingshan said, "I feel relieved now."

Jin Yuyao looked at him quietly: "When did you go to see Master Li?"

Wang Jingshan scratched his head and said, "On my first day, I saw that the county magistrate there didn't look like he was judging a case. I was afraid that you would suffer and couldn't sleep at night. In order to prevent you from getting hurt, I went there."

Jin Yuyao said, "Thank you very much. Why are you so attentive this time?"

"As long as it's about you and your son, I will be very careful."

Wang Jingshan said, "Then how are you going to thank me?"

Jin Yuyao said, "How do you want to thank me?"

This question stumped Wang Jingshan. Just as he was about to answer, he saw Jin Yuyao had already entered the clinic.

Wang Jingshan said: "Why don't you wait for me?"

Jin Yuyao drew a few more blueprints in the afternoon and asked Hua Xue to take them to her brother-in-law first. When the matter came to a conclusion, she would go and talk to him when she had time.

The next day, when it was almost closing time, the yamen runner arrived. This time, he politely told Jin Yuyao to go to the county yamen the next day, saying that the murderer had been found out.

Jin Yuyao didn't expect that the result would come out so soon. The next day, Jin Yuyao had planned to go there by herself.

Wang Jingshan saw Jin Yuyao leaving the clinic and chased after her.

"Where are you going? Wait for me, I'll go with you."

Jin Yuyao turned around and said, "I can go by myself."

Wang Jingshan said, "That won't work. I have to go with you. Mr. Li said he would go with us today."

Jin Yuyao said, "It's not good to always trouble others."

Wang Jingshan said: "Our matter is still a small matter. The main thing is the matter of Lin Province. It happened to be passing by and gave us a ride. Otherwise, we would have to hire a car."

While the two were talking, carriages arrived, two of them. Old Lady Liu lifted the curtain and waved to Jin Yuyao.

Jin Yuyao had no choice but to walk closer: "I have to trouble you again."

Madam Liu said, "Everything is fine with you, but you're too polite. Please get in the car."

Wang Jingshan still got on Prince An's car, and Jin Yuyao got on the old lady's car behind.

Along the way, the old lady looked at Jin Yuyao and liked her more and more. She said, "You are really tenacious, I like that. You remind me of my youth."

Mother Qin said from the side: "You two do have similar personalities. You both refuse to admit defeat. No matter how big the difficulties are, they can't defeat you."

Mother Liu looked at Jin Yuyao and seemed to see through her that it was her own youth: "Wang Jingshan should have told you the identity of Mr. Li."

Jin Yuyao nodded.

Madam Liu said, "It's the same for you. Even if it's a little difficult now, your future won't be bad. I'm still very optimistic about that young man Wang Jingshan. It's just that he wasn't so good that year."

It takes about an incense stick of time to ride by horse carriage from the town to the Lanshan County Government Office, and we arrived very quickly.

This time, Prince An sat next to Lin Sheng again, and Lin Sheng sat down tremblingly.

When Jin Yuyao arrived at the hall, she saw that there were quite a lot of people there today. Wang and Yunniang were also there, and there was also a man who she had some impression of as the owner of Huichun Hall.

When Jin Yuyao saw him, she thought of countless possibilities but decided to wait and see what the results would be.

County Magistrate Lin said, "Someone bring Chen Er and Xiao Hua with you."

The yamen runners brought Chen Er and Xiaohua in.

The yamen runners pushed the two of them directly to the front of the hall and made them kneel down.

Lin Sheng slammed the gavel and asked, "Do you, uncle and sister-in-law, plead guilty?"

Chen Er shouted: "Your Excellency, this is unjust!"

Xiaohua's face was no longer as smooth as it had been in the past few days, and she also shouted: "My Lord, it is unjust."

Lin Sheng angrily said, "How dare you! It's clear that you two murdered Chen Da together, yet you actually framed Doctor Jin. Do you know your guilt?"

The two still refused to admit their guilt and kept saying that they were wronged.

County Magistrate Lin said, "The evidence is irrefutable, yet you still refuse to admit your guilt. Come, each of you will be given fifty lashes."

The yamen runners came up and pushed them onto a long bench and started beating them with sticks.

Listening to the sound of the board slapping, Jin Yuyao looked at the two of them coldly. If it weren't for them, the disaster wouldn't have happened.

Once this crime is pinned on me, I dare not even think about what the consequences will be for a little village woman like me with no power or background.

After being spanked ten times, Xiao Hua couldn't help but yell, "I admit it, I admit it, I'll tell you everything, please stop it!"

County Magistrate Lin waved his hand and said, "Listen, then you speak."

Xiaohua was lying on the ground, and there were already spots of blood on her pants.

Lin Sheng asked Chen Er: "Are you going to recruit him or not?"

Chen Er gritted his teeth and said, "I haven't done anything. I have nothing to blame."

"Take him down and continue beating him"

After giving the order, Lin Sheng looked at Xiao Hua and said, "Tell the truth."

Xiaohua cried this time, "Chen Da and I have been married for ten years and have no children. Chen Da has been out doing some small business all year round, and we have always lived a good life. He didn't mind my infertility. Who knew that one afternoon I would be..."
