Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 363 Confession

Song Ying looked at Lin Wenxuan: "Master, it seems like you are worried that we will drug you again?"

"Maybe he's completely pissed off." Lin Wenxuan ran over with a sad face, "Master, I'll boil the medicine, you take a rest!"

Song Ying followed him out, and as soon as he got out, he saw Luo Yanxing grabbing the skinny young man's collar and said viciously, "Tell me! Who ordered you to do this?"

After he finished yelling, he saw Doctor Ma coming out and said hurriedly, "It's been a while since the medicine was boiled. I'll take this opportunity to interrogate him!"

After all, she was not a member of Huichuntang, and she had been beaten up like that by three thugs before. Doctor Ma had no reason to stop them, so he acquiesced to it.

The skinny young man felt extremely humiliated. His face was already pale from vomiting and nausea, and then being tightened by his collar, he looked even more pale and could hardly breathe.

He grabbed the collar at his throat, trying to gain some space for his neck, and shouted angrily: "Little bitch! Let me go! If you have the guts, wait until I get better, I will beat you to death, you little bastard!"

Luo Yanxing was immediately furious and slapped him twice with his backhand, "No need to wait for you to recover, I will beat you to death right now, you ungrateful thing, you have to rely on us to save your life, and you dare to steal our money and pancreas and stop us from doing business!"

A trace of dullness and confusion flashed across the young man's face. "What do you mean? Are you also a doctor at Huichuntang?"

Song Ying blurted out, "The pancreas is a business that I, my senior brother, and Yan Xing share. But we have to prescribe medicine in the clinic, so she is the only one selling it. Don't you know?"

Before, few people knew about this, but after the quarrel with Shopkeeper Qi that day, it was considered as publicly acknowledging that the pancreas sold by Luo Yanxing was the same as theirs.

"Song Ying, stop wasting time talking to him. Just beat this ungrateful guy to death! I think we should stop making any medicine for them and just let them vomit to death!"

As he spoke, Luo Yanxing grabbed the young man's collar again and raised his hand to slap him, "Are you going to confess or not?"

Song Ying glanced at Doctor Ma, stepped forward to stop her, and said, "Stop hitting him, it will hurt your hand. Send him directly to the county government office later. Someone will interrogate him and give you justice!"

The skinny young man's eyes flashed, and he immediately shouted, "I admit it, I admit it! Stop fighting! I admit it!"

He confessed so quickly that Song Ying, who was about to continue threatening, and Luo Yanxing, who was raising his fist, were stunned for a moment. They looked at him suspiciously, wondering if he was going to make up a lie to deceive them.

"Gangzi! No!" a young man shouted anxiously.

Another young man also said anxiously: "Gangzi, we are in the underworld and we should abide by morality. If our reputation is ruined, who will dare to work with us brothers in the future?"

"Yes!" The young man in the lead answered loudly, then turned to face Doctor Ma and said proudly, "Doctor Ma is kind and willing to treat us regardless of past grudges. I, Zhang Dazhi, thank you for this. But it is absolutely impossible for the three of us brothers to go against morality and betray our employer!"

He looked at Song Ying again and said, "Young doctor, don't threaten the government. Even if the three of us brothers spend the rest of our lives in jail, we will never reveal a single word!"

Song Ying was about to make some sarcastic remarks, but the skinny young man named Gangzi said, "Brother, it is precisely because of morality that we have to point out the truth. Even robbers and bandits know not to touch doctors, so how can we brothers be worse than robbers and bandits?"

Hearing this, Zhang Dazhi's face actually showed some hesitation, which made Song Ying very surprised. What kind of morality are these three thugs really pursuing?

Seeing this, Gangzi continued to lobby: "If he hadn't lied to us in advance and didn't tell us that the pancreas was sold by this girl and Huichuntang, we wouldn't have taken his job, right?"

Zhang Dazhi fell into deep thought. Gangzi was right. If he had known in advance that the pancreas business belonged to Huichuntang, he would never have taken on the job from Manager Qi.

After struggling for a while, he sighed and said, "Well, he was the one who was unkind first, so we can't be blamed for being unjust! The people who hired us were Shopkeeper Qi and Doctor Ma. We are sorry for the offense. Please forgive us for not knowing about it beforehand."

"It's really Manager Qi!" the neighbors exclaimed.

"He usually looks quite kind. Last time my daughter got married, I took her to Yanhongtang to buy gouache. The shopkeeper Qi was smiling and didn't look down on us ordinary people at all. How could he be such a vicious person?"

"This is such a wicked man. He could kill such a young child. I wonder how he made his business."

"Hey, I told you before, he's just a smiling tiger..."

The skinny Gangzi also breathed a sigh of relief. He thought she was just an ordinary little girl. He could just rob her if he wanted. Even if he knew their identities, he couldn't do anything to them. He didn't want to meet someone so stubborn that he would report to the police. It was not worth it to go to the county government and suffer for such a small amount of money.

He hurriedly said to Luo Yanxing: "My elder brother has confessed, let me go."

Luo Yanxing snorted and let him go. "It's that shorty! How despicable! He can't do business with us, so he resorts to these despicable tricks! Let's go and report to the police!"

"Why do we need to report it to the police?" Gangzi was shocked. "We brothers have already confessed!"

Song Ying said coldly: "If you don't confess, then the officials will sue you for beating people without reason and robbing people of their money. Now we are suing Manager Qi for hiring someone to hurt someone!"

Gangzi stopped talking.

Not long after, Lin Wenxuan prepared the medicine. After the three of them took it, they waited for a while. After making sure that they felt much better and no longer felt so nauseous, they prepared to set off for the county government office.

Madam Xu still had guests to entertain in her restaurant. Since she was sure that the three people did not have problems eating at her house, she decided not to follow them. In addition to her, some neighbors who had to make a living also stood up to say goodbye. Before leaving, they encouraged Song Ying and the others, telling them not to be afraid and that they could go to the county government to help testify if necessary.

Song Ying and others naturally thanked them one by one.

Seeing that Yuan Qing and Shen Jing were also planning to go together, Song Ying felt a little worried. He walked to Yuan Qing's side and asked quietly, "Didn't you say that the names of candidates for the county and prefectural exams would be kept anonymous? If we go together like this, aren't you worried that we will leave a bad impression on Magistrate Chen?"

She remembered that scholars pursued nobility and purity, and there seemed to be a tradition of not letting anyone enter the government. Before obtaining an official position, being too involved in criminal matters would damage one's reputation.

He had gone through so much trouble just to become famous and have a good reputation. If his previous efforts were to go to waste because of their affairs, she would feel extremely guilty.

Yuan Qing pursed his lips and said, "It's okay. You and Yan Xing are from the same hometown as me. How can I sit back and watch when my fellow villagers are in trouble?"

After saying that, he looked at the others and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Song Ying blinked, thought for a moment, and looked at Shen Jing. Could it be that he wanted Shen Jing to stand in front?
