Chapter 100: The Patient's Heart-Wrenching Pain
Everyone carefully studied these two cases and found out that they were suffering from a mysterious and unknown disease.
After contracting that strange disease, they vomited and had diarrhea, their stomachs were extremely uncomfortable, a day later, their bodies began to rot, until they died in agony.
At that time, Medicine King Ye Fengluo did his best to treat them, but after using various methods, there was no effect at all. The patient died the next day, and after the patient's death, Medicine King Ye Fengluo suddenly became very disheartened and locked himself in the house for a month without coming out.
After going through all this, they searched again and found the case six years ago. The patient was a beggar with no relatives. After dying in pain, he was buried by the people of Yao Wang Cao Tang, so there is no possibility that his relatives will come to avenge him.
But the case a year ago was different, the deceased was an old woman named Yuan Shi, it is said that the person who brought the old woman to see the doctor was her son Yuan Jin, he came to seek medical attention with his mother on his back, his words were filled with pity and threats, he wanted Ye Feng to save his mother, so he was full of prayers, but he seemed to love his mother very much, in his words, he said a few times that if she couldn't be cured, he would make things difficult for Ye Feng.
Everyone saw this and recalled the situation at that time. Ximen Long said, "Yuan Jin's body was not very tall or big, but he wasn't weak either. His eyes were terrifying, making people dare not look straight at him. At that time, he came to seek medical help with his mother on his back, with an urgent and anxious expression, as if we would all be killed if the person wasn't saved quickly."
Ximen Long finished speaking, and Murong Changqing followed closely behind him in agreement.
After listening to both of them and combining it with the medical records, Hua Lang felt it was necessary to go see that Yuan Jin.
As for this matter, Murong Changqing and Ximen Long were both in favor of it. After all, no matter what, Yuan Jin's mother's illness was not cured and could not be blamed on their master. So even if the Yuan family died, Yuan Jin would not be able to avenge his master.
They want to go and replace Medicine King Ye Fengluo to seek justice.
After some discussion, Hualang led everyone to Yuan Jin's home.
Yuan Jin lived in a small village nearby, his family was poor, and during the slack season he would carve some small trinkets to sell to supplement his family's income.
When they arrived at Yuan Jin's home, they were shocked. Although they knew that Yuan Jin was poor, after seeing the dilapidated fence and the thatched cottage with a big hole in it, they felt that they had overestimated Yuan Jin's poverty when they came.
The bamboo fence and gate of the courtyard have all disappeared, but Hualang still insists on calling out before entering.
"Is anyone home?" The flower boy shouted several times, and finally someone came out of the house. The person was in his twenties, but his face was full of vicissitudes. He walked lightly and weakly, and stood in the courtyard after taking a few steps from the door, asking: "Who are you people? Who are you looking for?"
Hualang smiled faintly: "May I ask if you are Yuan Jin?"
That person nodded slightly, and only then did he see Mu Rong Chang Qing and Xi Men Long. It seemed that the two of them were somewhat famous in this generation, so when Yuan Jin saw them, his expression changed instantly, and he said coldly: "So you're from Yao Wang Cao Lu."
When Yuan Jin spoke like this, everyone was somewhat surprised, because Yuan Jin's tone seemed to look down on the people of Yao Wang Cao Lu, or rather, his words had a resentful tone.
If so, wouldn't he hate Ye Fengluo for not giving him the medicine to cure his mother's illness? Wouldn't he want to kill Ye Fengluo?
Yuan Jin already knew who the visitors were, but he didn't invite them in. Instead, he coldly asked, "There are no patients here, where should you go? I don't want to see people from Yao Wang Cao Lu."
Murong Changqing was somewhat angry when he heard Yuan Jin say this, but since they had come here to handle a case, he eventually endured it.
Hualang glanced at Yuan Jin and said, "You seem to dislike the people of Yao Wang Cao Lu?"
Yuan Jin didn't evade either and said: "That's right, they can't even cure my mother's illness, what face do they have to call themselves Medicine King?"
It seems that Yuan Jin has a lot of resentment towards the fallen Medicine King Ye Feng, and Hua Lang sees this, his mouth slightly curling up, says: "I came here today to tell you, Medicine King Ye Feng is dead!"
Hua Lang said this sentence, Yuan Jin was shocked, then regained his composure and asked: "Yefengluo died, what does it have to do with me?"
Yuan Jin's disregard for Ye Fengluo had truly enraged Murong Changqing. He kicked open the fence and angrily said, "Am I being poisoned to death? I suspect it was you who administered the poison. You hate my master, so you want to kill him, right?"
After hearing Murong Changqing's words, Yuan Jin didn't get angry or scared, but instead said coldly: "Murder requires evidence, I'm so poor, where would I have the money to buy poison, and how could I possibly go and poison your master?"
"You..." Murong Changqing was speechless for a moment.
At this time, Hua Lang smiled faintly: "You hate Ye Feng Luo, this is your motive for murder, and as long as you have a motive, poison and how to administer it are not a problem."
Yuan Jin glanced at Hua Lang with a look of disdain, snorted and said: "What's the use of having a motive? If you have the ability, bring me evidence that I'm going to kill someone."
Yuan Jin is like this, and Hualang and others have no way out. Now that they have no evidence, how can they accuse him?
And seeing Yuan Jin's glib tongue, he must be quite difficult to deal with.
At this time, the Flower Gentleman who had been silent for a long time spoke again, saying: "I suppose you don't want to be treated as a murderer, so if you want to clear your suspicion, it's best to answer my questions."
Yuan Jin was somewhat impatient and shouted: "What's the matter? Ask quickly, I still have things to do!"
Hualang nodded and asked: "Around noon yesterday, where were you?"
"At home, at that time I was eating at home!"
The young man nodded slightly and continued to ask, "Was your mother's illness sudden or has it been going on for a while?"
Hualang suddenly asked this question, leaving everyone somewhat perplexed. Weren't they currently investigating the case of Yao Wang Ye Fengluo's murder? How did it suddenly shift to Yuan Sheng's illness?
Yuan Jin heard the flower boy ask about this matter, and suddenly became sad and couldn't speak. After a long time, he finally opened his mouth to answer: "My mother had that strange illness that came on suddenly, I...I..." Yuan Jin hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he couldn't continue speaking.
Seeing him like this, Hualang continued to ask: "How did you suddenly get it?"
Yuan Jin shook her head: "I don't know about this either, all I know is that on that day my mother went to make clothes for someone else's family and when she came back she suddenly fell to the ground. I asked my mother what she had eaten, she said nothing, and...and then my mother was gone..." Yuan Jin started crying as soon as she got to this point.
