Chapter 249: Tonic Turns into Poison
Zhuang Nanrong in the room had hanged herself.
County Magistrate Cui quickly stepped forward and carried the man down.
But it was too late, Zhuang Nanrong's body was already cold.
Although he was heartbroken, he could also understand Zhuang Nanrong.
Although Zhuang Nanrong became a heroine who suppressed bandits, she was, after all, a woman who was kidnapped by bandits and taken to the mountains. She also accompanied the bandit leader for so many years, which damaged her reputation.
Even if I return to the foot of the mountain and live a normal life in the future, I will still be gossiped about and criticized.
Rather than that, it is better to die and leave behind a reputation as a chaste and heroic woman.
County Magistrate Cui sighed and ordered that Zhuang Nanrong be buried with honor.
To avoid any further complications, County Magistrate Cui secretly escorted all the bandits back to the county jail overnight.
……
Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran failed to find Doctor Sun in the county town, so they sent more people to expand the search area. Finally, they found Doctor Sun in the countryside, who had become a country doctor.
Doctor Sun had some reputation in the medical community of Changming County back then, but ever since he framed Meng Ruyan, Doctor Sun's family has been plagued by misfortunes one after another.
This made Doctor Sun feel anxious and uneasy, thinking that it was retribution for framing Meng Ruyan.
In order to survive and to protect his only son, he took the little money he had and went to live in the countryside.
We also try our best to cure diseases and save lives, and dare not have any greed or intention to harm others.
If they encounter someone in financial difficulty, they are willing to help generously without asking for any money.
This can also be considered as atonement for the mistakes made in the past.
When Doctor Sun was discovered, he was collecting herbs in the mountains. Suddenly, someone put him in a cloth bag and knocked him unconscious. He was terrified.
When he woke up, he had already arrived at the villa of Manager Guan.
When Doctor Sun woke up, he saw Xiao Ran, Su Xiaoxiao and Yang Qi sitting in front of him.
He Ya, Ding Lin and Manager Guan stood aside, glaring at him angrily.
He was terribly frightened.
Could it be that his disappointing son got into trouble again?
Now he has no extra money to spend.
He got up and knelt down to kowtow to Xiao Ran and others.
"I don't know what I did wrong to offend you, sir. Please explain!"
Xiao Ran's eyes were blazing with fire, and he wished he could eat Doctor Sun alive.
Seeing that he was not in a good state, Su Xiaoxiao patted Xiao Ran's hand, signaling him to control his emotions.
Su Xiaoxiao snorted at Doctor Sun, "Don't you know what you've done wrong? Do you need us to remind you?"
Doctor Sun was a little confused.
"Ever since I returned to the countryside, I've been diligent and committed to medical ethics, and I've never done anything to harm anyone!"
"And what about before you go back to the country?"
Upon hearing this reminder, Doctor Sun immediately thought of Meng Ruyan.
He subconsciously looked at Xiao Ran, who had the biggest reaction.
Through Xiao Ran's appearance, he seemed to see Meng Ruyan of that year.
The woman who had given him nightmares for more than ten years!
Could it be that Meng Ruyan's descendants came to seek revenge on him?
Xiao Wenchang and Dai Zhi had promised him that no one else would know about this except the three of them. How could it be suddenly exposed?
Did those two people go back on their word?
Done!Done!
He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. His body seemed to be drained of energy. He slumped to the ground, staring blankly ahead.
"This, this, this...what's coming will come, right?"
Seeing that Doctor Sun was still understanding, Su Xiaoxiao continued, "Tell us exactly what happened back then, or we will not only kill you, but also your only son!"
Doctor Sun had been hiding for half his life and was now tired and exhausted. He didn't want to hide anymore, so he told everything that had happened.
When Xiao Wenchang asked him to treat Meng Ruyan, there was nothing wrong with the prescription, but when he dispensed the medicine, he deliberately changed the dosage.
Meng Ruyan's medicine is mainly nourishing, and it needs to be done slowly.
Once the dosage of the medicine changed, although Meng Ruyan took the tonic, her body could not withstand it at all, and the tonic became a chronic poison.
If taken for a long time, it will do more harm than good.
By then, even if someone notices something is wrong, they will not suspect that there is a problem with the dosage of the medicine.
This way, he can get away with it.
In addition, Xiao Wenchang and Dai Zhi promised him that they would not cause him trouble and gave him a large sum of money, so he went ahead and did it.
He was blinded by greed and did things that were against the ethics of a doctor, becoming an executioner who harmed people.
But he never expected that he would pay such a huge price after doing this.
His family members died in accidents one after another, and only his youngest son survived.
But the youngest son was very rebellious. Not only was he uneducated, he also often got into trouble, making his life a mess.
After hearing this, Xiao Ran could no longer contain his anger and kicked Doctor Sun in the chest.
Doctor Sun was caught off guard and was kicked to the ground.
Xiao Ran walked over quickly again, grabbed Doctor Sun by the collar, and punched him hard.
"You murderer! I'll kill you!"
Seeing Xiao Ran roaring heart-wrenchingly, Su Xiaoxiao and others felt distressed, but now was not the time to kill Doctor Sun to vent their anger, so they hurried forward to stop him.
"Xiao Ran, calm down first."
"Doctor Sun can't die yet!"
"Master, don't be impulsive!"
"Master, if he died like this, wouldn't that let the person who actually killed Madam go unpunished?"
"Master, you have to consider the overall situation!"
Xiao Ran listened to the persuasion of several people and slowly put down his raised fist.
He bit his back teeth hard, trying to suppress the anger in his heart.
"I want the person who killed my mother to pay with blood!"
He pointed at Doctor Sun and said, "Come with me now to confront Xiao Wenchang and Dai Zhi! If you tell me even a lie, I will kill your son immediately and bury your entire family with my mother!"
Doctor Sun still had a little conscience, so he did not resist and let Xiao Ran arrange it.
The group arrived at the Xiao family's house and the door was open, so Xiao Ran led everyone in and rushed in.
The doorman was dozing off, and when he came to his senses, Xiao Ran and his companions had already entered the yard.
He woke up instantly, saw someone coming in, and chased after him.
"Who are you? This is the Xiao family, how can you just barge in?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran turned around and glared at the servant.
The servant recognized Xiao Ran and his arrogance instantly dissipated.
"Master! Master, when did you come back? Why didn't you inform me when you came back?"
Xiao Ran's anger had reached its peak, and he kicked the servant who followed him.
"Get out! Don't bother me!"
The servant didn't dare to provoke them. After getting up from the ground, he didn't even bother to brush off the dust on his body and trotted all the way to Xiao Wenchang and Dai Zhi's yard to report.
When he ran into the yard panting, Xiao Wenchang and Dai Zhi were playing with birds in the yard.
Seeing him panic and fall, Dai Zhi's face darkened.
"How can you be so flustered! Why are you running here instead of guarding the gate?"
The servant hurriedly stood up and reported.
"Master, Madam, something bad has happened! The young master has broken in with a group of people!"
