The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

In the clinic, Tang Yixiao stayed by Tang Yichen's bedside, feeding him medicine with a spoon.

When Qin Huiyin and others arrived, they saw Tang Yixiao crying while feeding medicine to Tang Yichen.

"Little brother, what's going on?" Tang Luwu asked anxiously.

"Sister..." Tang Yixiao saw Tang Luwu and rushed over as if he had found support, hugging her and crying loudly. "Big brother was seriously injured and hasn't woken up yet."

"How did you get injured?" Qin Huiyin asked.

"I don't know either. I only know that my eldest brother escaped from the Chen family with a seriously injured body and happened to meet the inspectors on patrol. After that, my eldest brother went to the clinic, and Chen Zhongyi was arrested."

"Doctor..." Qin Huiyin found the doctor and asked about Tang Yichen's injuries.

"He injured his heart meridian. Whether he can wake up depends on his luck."

"Use the right medicine and make sure he wakes up." Qin Huiyin said, "Don't worry about spending money."

"Okay, I will definitely try my best." The doctor made a promise and told them not to make noise and disturb the patient's rest.

"Here's five taels of silver." Qin Huiyin handed the silver to Tang Luwu, "Take it for emergencies. I'll go to the Inspection Office to ask what happened."

"This is too much. I can't take so much silver..."

"Keep it and wait until your brother wakes up."

Qin Huiyin asked Mr. Tang San to stay with them. After all, Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao were still young and could not handle the hardship, so it would be safer to have an adult accompany them when they encountered difficulties.

Seeing that Qin Huiyin was thoughtful at such a young age, Mr. Tang San looked at Tang Luwu, who was one year older than her but was at a loss, and once again sighed that this little girl was not simple.

Qin Huiyin came to the Inspection Office. She introduced herself and explained her relationship with Tang Yichen, and then asked if Tang Yichen's injury was related to the Chen family.

"How is your brother's injury?" A middle-aged man walked out from inside, stopped and asked after hearing Qin Huiyin's words.

"My lord, my brother hasn't woken up yet." Qin Huiyin said, "It is precisely because he hasn't woken up that I don't know what happened. I went to the county town with my sister yesterday and just returned to the town. I originally wanted to see my brother, but unexpectedly I got the news that he was seriously injured. I really don't know what happened."

"We have interrogated several important servants of the Chen family. Did your family owe the Chen family fifty taels of silver?"

"Yes. Sir, could my brother's injury be related to these fifty taels of silver?"

"Pretty much," Inspector Zhang said. "Your brother felt there was something fishy about the fifty taels of silver owed, and he'd been investigating. He'd already tracked down the doctor who was in cahoots with Chen Zhongyi and persuaded him to testify on his behalf. He then took the doctor to the Chen family, but Chen Zhongyi, enraged, planned to kill him to silence him. That's how your brother escaped."

"Sir, how do you plan to sentence this case?" Qin Huiyin said with a distressed look, "My brother's life or death is uncertain, and this is considered intentional homicide."

"According to the crime of intentional homicide, the sentence should be death. Now it depends on your brother's situation. If he dies, the other party will be sentenced to death. If he survives, it will be exile."

Qin Huiyin: "..."

"Your brother was seriously injured and needs medical treatment. I have ordered the Chen family to pay for it."

"Sir..." an officer hurried over, "Chen Zhongyi was killed in prison."

"Who did it?"

"It seems it was someone Chen Zhongyi had offended before. The two met in prison and had an argument. During the shoving, Chen Zhongyi hit his head against the wall and died."

"Sir..." A constable also ran over from the other side, "The Chen family moved out overnight, and the house is empty."

"Did the Chen family move out?"

"Chen Zhongyi's wife moved away with their children. I heard they sold their large house overnight. Now it's been bought by the owner of a silk shop."

Qin Huiyin: "..."

It is true that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately.

However, given Chen Zhongyi's character, it is understandable that his wife is so clear-headed.

But if this is the case, where can she get the medical expenses?

Chen Zhongyi died in prison, and his family left home. Now the whole case doesn't need to be tried at all because only the victim is left.

"Sir, what should we do with Chen Zhongyi's accomplices? The doctor colluded with him, charging exorbitant fees under the guise of curing illnesses and saving lives, deceiving patients. Isn't this also a crime? Chen Zhongyi's followers did a lot of bad things for him, so they should also be punished, right? The most important thing is that person who deliberately provoked trouble. He is also one of the culprits."

"Don't worry, no one will escape," Inspector Zhang said. "Go back and take good care of your brother. He's such a smart man, how could he die so young?"

Qin Huiyin always felt that there was something else behind Inspector Zhang's words.

However, when she learned of Chen Zhongyi's fate, she felt very happy. So, does that mean she doesn't have to pay back the fifty taels of silver?

To be on the safe side, she'd better ask clearly.

"Sir, since it has been confirmed that the fifty taels of silver my father owed was a plot by Chen Zhongyi, then our family should no longer have to bear this debt, right?"

"Of course, this debt is invalid, and your family doesn't have to bear this heavy burden. When your brother wakes up, let him study hard and get a good degree."

On the way back, Qin Huiyin kept thinking about what Inspector Zhang said.

First, Chen Zhongyi was furious when Tang Yichen exposed his scheme. However, between defrauding money and murdering someone, the latter is the more serious crime. Isn't it a bit unreasonable for Chen Zhongyi to deliberately kill someone in order to suppress the fraud incident?

Secondly, Inspector Zhang expressed his admiration for Tang Yichen in his words and actions, and seemed to be very familiar with him. He also hinted that he would not die so easily. Could it be that he knew something?

When Qin Huiyin returned to the clinic, the voices of Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao came from inside.

"Great, brother finally woke up."

"Brother, you really scared us to death."

Master Tang San said, "Young Master Chen, you're usually such a steady person, why are you so reckless this time? If anything happens to you, will it be a matter of fifty taels?"

Tang Yichen's voice was extremely weak: "I was inconsiderate. I'm sorry for making everyone worry."

"The girl Huiyin has gone to the Inspection Office. She has been running around for your affairs since she settled down. Even if this sister is not your biological sister, she is almost like a biological sister. You must treat her better in the future."

"I know, Third Grandpa."

Qin Huiyin walked in slowly and said, "You're awake!"

"You're back." Mr. Tang San said, "How are things, Miss Huiyin? What did the Inspection Office say?"

"Chen Zhongyi's luck is bad," Qin Huiyin said. "If he had waited a little longer, the authorities would have sentenced him to exile at most after seeing that Big Brother had woken up. However, he was just killed by an old enemy in prison. Now that he's dead, his accomplices can't escape. The inspector said they will be sent to the county government for trial."
