Chapter 99: The Doctor is Killed

  Hualang explained the herbs one by one, which shocked Ximen Long who had just mentioned them. He hadn't expected that Hualang was not only good at investigating cases but also so familiar with herbs.

  But Hualang saw the surprised look of the crowd, and smiled faintly in his heart. Xu Changlei's "Bencao Gangmu" has a record, how could he not know as a person from the future?

  Everyone's excitement disappeared in the words of Hua Lang, if Yewang Ye Fenglou didn't die from Xu Changqing's poison, then how did he die? The matter has returned to its starting point.

  Everyone is somewhat regretful, but there's nothing they can do about it.

  Hualang gazed at the crowd, a faint smile on his face: "The toxic liquid forced out of Yao Wang's body is something we've all seen before. It's extremely poisonous, and no one knows what kind of poison it was, so I believe this murderer must be an expert in using poison."

  At this time, Gong Sun Ce suddenly asked: "Brother Hua said that he firmly believed that my master was poisoned to death, and the person who poisoned him had superb medical skills?"

  Hualang shook his head: "It's not a high level of medical skill, but a high level of poisonous skill."

  "But didn't any outsiders enter our Medicine King's Hut yesterday?" Murong Changqing asked with some puzzlement.

  Hualang shook his head again: "It's just that you didn't see anyone coming in, but that doesn't mean no one really came in."

  Hualang said something that was right, and Murong Changqing couldn't refute it, so in the end he could only stand aside silently.

  At this time, Wen Meng stepped forward and asked: "Since we know that a murderer has broken in, what should we do next?"

  The flower boy didn't say what to do, because he didn't know what to do either. The murderer was an outsider who broke in, so now he must have escaped long ago. They didn't find any clues, how could they look for him?

  Just as everyone was silent, someone's stomach growled loudly, and at this time, everyone suddenly realized that they hadn't had lunch yet. Mu Rong Chang Qing saw this and felt a little apologetic, so he hastily said: "Everyone please sit down for a moment, I'll have someone go cook right away."

  Coarse tea and plain rice, so everyone didn't wait too long to eat, but when everyone was eating, the atmosphere at the dinner table seemed very awkward. Huā Láng didn't care, he just ate, but although Huā Láng was eating, his expression looked very strange, as if he had no idea what he was eating and was thinking about something else.

  A mouthful of rice went into Hualang's mouth, and he chewed habitually, but his mind was thinking, why did the murderer want to kill Yefengluo? Yefengluo is a medicine king who saves lives and heals wounds, everyone should be grateful to him, who would think of killing a doctor?

  Just as everyone was eating, Hua Lang suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked: "Medicine King has been practicing medicine for many years, have you ever encountered a patient who couldn't be cured, or a patient came to seek medical treatment but Medicine King didn't treat him?"

  The reason why Hualang asked this question is that he suspected the murderer had a grudge against Yaowang, and the most likely reason for having a grudge against a doctor is that Yaowang did not cure his illness or did not cure the illness of one of his relatives, resulting in the death of the patient. The murderer believed that his relative died because Yaowang did not treat him or did not treat him with all his heart, which led to the failure to cure him.

  Just as Ke Hualang finished speaking, Murong Changqing and Ximen Long Gong Sun Ce shook their heads one after another: "Our master is kind-hearted, no matter how poor or humble the people who come to seek medical treatment are, he will treat them. Even if the patient has really reached the end of their life and cannot be cured, our master will not give up and will still use his greatest efforts to help the patient."

  After listening to their words, Hua Lang hurriedly asked: "So, there is a patient who came to seek medical treatment, but Medicine King didn't cure him?"

  Murong Changqing's face changed slightly, looking somewhat embarrassed, and finally said: "Although Master is called the King of Medicine, there are many strange diseases in the world that we have never heard of or seen before. If Master can't cure someone, it's also understandable..."

  Originally, Murong Changqing thought that Hualang was blaming Yewang for not curing the illness of someone's family member. Seeing that Murong Changqing had misunderstood, Hualang hurriedly explained: "Murong Shixiong has misunderstood me, I didn't mean to blame Yewang for not curing others' illnesses. Birth, old age, sickness and death are all part of life's rules, some illnesses cannot be cured, we can't force Yewang to cure everyone."

  After hearing Hua Lang's words, Murong Changqing's face became even more unsightly, her round face flushing bright red. At this time, Gong Sun Ce hurriedly spoke up to ease the atmosphere.

  "Since Brother Hua is not blaming my master for being unable to cure everyone's illness, what does he mean?"

  Hualang saw Gong Sun Ce and immediately said: "The patient's relatives often think that as a doctor, they should cure the patient. If the doctor can't cure it, the patient's relatives will lose their loved ones and will definitely vent their resentment on the doctor. As a substitute for the King of Medicine, Ye Feng, if he can't cure everyone, it is also possible for patients or their relatives to come seeking revenge."

  When Hwa-rang finished speaking, everyone expressed their agreement and they could even feel the pain and hatred of the patients' families because they too had experienced illness or loss of loved ones. And every time they thought about how their own family members had passed away due to illness, they would shift the blame onto those doctors - why couldn't they save the patient?

  Although such people exist in a minority, this kind of bias is something that anyone can have.

  After everyone acknowledged Hwah-rang, he immediately asked: "Think carefully, in the years that Yeoungwong has been treating people's illnesses with medicine, is there anyone whose illness was not cured and eventually died?"

  After listening to Hua Lang's words, everyone hastily ate a few mouthfuls of rice and then rushed to the medical library. This place was where all patient diagnosis records were stored in order to clarify patient cases for Medicine King and his disciples to study. Now if you want to know who Medicine King didn't cure, you must investigate from these diagnosis records.

  The medical library was very large, with many books and records placed on it. Everyone held a stack of them and searched for clues on the table, believing that as long as there were diagnostic records, they would definitely find some leads.

  Although there are many records, it's okay. There are a lot of people and the records look stacked up, so there aren't many things recorded on each stack.

  About two hours later, they finally found some clues.

  Everyone took out the clues they found, and after everyone saw them, it was discovered that in so many years, there were only two records of Ye Feng's failure to cure people with medicine. One happened a relatively long time ago, six years ago, and the other one was relatively recent, about a year ago.

  The two patients in these cases contracted a strange disease.
