Each physician kept a detailed record of how many patients they received and what diseases they treated every day.
Gu Jiao let out an ‘en’.
Physician Song went to the consultation room and brought this month"s booklet, turned to the page from seven days ago, and found the record about the fetal protection medicine, "
“It was a patient experiencing a miscarriage-like symptoms. I checked that it wasn"t that serious and I prescribed her a fetal protection medicine."
Gu Jiao: "Were the medicinal herbs from our side?"
Physician Song nodded. "Yes, the prescription still has the handprint of the medicine boy on it."
After hearing this, Gu Jiao came to the corpse lying in the center of the lobby.
"What are you going to do? The man stopped Gu Jiao.
"An autopsy." Gu Jiao said.
The man’s pupils contracted, "You’re mad! Don"t you touch my wife"s body!"
Gu Jiao paid him no heed, crouched down and lifted up the white cloth.
It was a woman of about thirty years old.
Gu Jiao stood up and looked lightly at the man, "Report to the authorities."
These words were addressed to Shopkeeper w.a.n.g.
The man was stunned and said ferociously, "You, what are you talking about!?"
Gu Jiao fearlessly responded to his furious eyes, "I say, report to the authorities."
"Yes!" Shopkeeper w.a.n.g believed in Gu Jiao and immediately walked out without saying another word.
“Stop him for me!” At the man"s command, his few companions rushed over and stopped Shopkeeper w.a.n.g. Then the man pointed to Gu Jiao"s nose and said, "Who are you to report to the authorities? Are you colluding with the authorities and want to bite us back? I"ve seen through all your medical hall’s black-hearted tricks! Common people"s lives like ours are not worth much in your eyes! Your medical hall and the authorities were both bandits of the same kind! You’re killing us all!"
The end of his speech was actually cried out in agitation.
The people started pointing fingers, and they seemed to be on the side of the man.
Gu Jiao did not panic and simply said, "Alright, you said she’s a patient of our medical hall, then tell me who she is, how old is she? Who came with her?"
The man growled, "She is my wife! Can you not tell how old she is?"
Gu Jiao asked neither too fast nor too slow, "What is the name of your wife?"
The man, seemingly becoming more and more impatient with Gu Jiao, shouted angrily, "Her surname is Wu, her full name is Wu Jinhua!"
Gu Jiao raised the booklet in her hand. "But it says clearly here that the patient who came for treatment that day was a twenty-one-year-old pregnant woman surnamed Yang. But this deceased woman... At least she’s in her thirties."
The man felt choked on the spot.
The crowd of onlookers hadn’t expected such a turn of events and looked at the man with suspicion.
The man’s eyes flashed and he shouted, "Just because you took out some book and said it was the record of that day, it’s the truth? Who knows if you just wrote it up on the spot?"
Physician Song said, "Records in the physician’s booklet are written according to the day. I can only move on to the next page once the page is full. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn"t have any room to write on the spot. Besides, I"ve only been in there for a little while, how can I write such a long paragraph in that short time?”
Physician Song showed the physician"s booklet to the crowd of onlookers.
It was a whole page detailing the patient"s ident.i.ty, age, symptoms, visit time, diagnosis, and prescription, no less than 300 words. It wasn’t something anyone could write in the blink of an eye.
And if it was newly written, the ink wouldn’t be dry, unlike the one on the page.
The man argued forcefully, "That, maybe you wrote it wrong!"
Gu Jiao went ‘en’ and said, "That also makes sense, that"s why I said report it to the authorities, so that they can verify the patient according to the records we have here. It should be able to clear the name of our Miraculous Hands Hall."
As soon as people heard that Gu Jiao wanted to have some witness testimony, it was self-evident who was the one lying.
The crowd of onlookers were a little disappointed. They thought they were finally seeing a Miraculous Hands Hall scandal after so long, but it turned out to be nothing!
Seeing that the matter was as good as exposed, the man turned around and fled!
But Gu Jiao didn’t give him a chance to get away. She beat the man down in two or three blows, and the remaining ones were also successfully captured.
Finally, Gu Jiao looked at the corpse lying on the ground and said, "If you don"t get up, are you waiting to be buried alive?"
The corpse suddenly jumped up!
What the h.e.l.l!
Everyone was scared backwards!
Even the corpse was a fake?!
While everyone was in a state of shock, an inconspicuous figure silently left the crowd, turned into the alley, and went to Chang"an Street not far away.
"What did you say? Such a big medical dispute was solved by them so easily?"
Inside the Rejuvenation Hall, a man stood up from his chair in shock and disbelief.
The man was none other than Shopkeeper He who had visited the Hot Spring Villa before in an attempt to treat Gu Yan.
Shopkeeper He was the trusted aide of Second Owner’s half-brother, and had always been dedicated to Rejuvenation Hall wholeheartedly.
"Yes, this humble one was also surprised. When that group of people showed up, this humble one could see that this wasn’t an easy matter. Generally speaking, this kind of situation is a door-to-door blackmail, but the medical hall can"t say it like that. For the sake of reputation, they would mostly choose to turn this big thing into a small one, but instead, they put out evidence plainly."
The servant boy who answered explained in detail how Gu Jiao turned the situation around to Shopkeeper He.
Shopkeeper was blank as he listened, "How did they come up with the idea of writing medical records for every patient?
Usually, medical halls would just let people go after the medical examination. Who would put so much care on every single one of them? Wasn"t that a lot of work?
However, it was precisely because of this troublesome work that they were able to produce strong evidence.
In fact, as early as the rescue operation during the furnace explosion accident, Shopkeeper He had already noticed that the Miraculous Hands Hall’s style was very different from others. After that, he sent someone to keep an eye on Miraculous Hands Hall.
Although he was unwilling to admit that the man kicked out of the Hu Family could be successful one day, there were indeed many things they could learn from his new Miraculous Hands Hall.
After thinking about it, Shopkeeper He decided to emulate Miraculous Hands Hall"s medical practices and methods from tomorrow onwards.
The truth about the medical farce came out, and Miraculous Hands Hall"s reputation not only didn’t suffer any damage, but also became a benchmark in the industry because of their earnest medical practice. Miraculous Hands Hall"s reputation in the capital became even better.
Gu Jiao didn"t bother with dealing with the few troublemakers, and left them all for Shopkeeper w.a.n.g to handle.
"Gu girl, rest a.s.sured, I will deal with them properly." To be able to stay by Second Owner’s side, and be invited to the capital from the county town, Shopkeeper w.a.n.g naturally had some ability.
Gu Jiao was a.s.sured that he would do his job.
In the afternoon, Gu Jiao had some personal business and went out in men"s clothes.
Little San who saw her in this outfit momentarily froze, "Gu... girl? Why are you dressed like that?"
Gu Jiao got into the carriage and moved her wrists, "Nothing, send me to Chaoyang Street."
"Chaoyang Street? That place is so far away! And... that place is no good..." Little San"s voice gradually weakened at the end, because Gu Jiao looked at him coldly, making his scalp numb.
"All right, let"s go then." Little San jumped into the carriage and picked up the whip.
Gu Jiao lowered the curtain.
The carriage was about to leave when another carriage came up and stopped right outside the back door of the medical hall.
A young eunuch with a delicate white face stepped out of the carriage and asked, "Excuse me, is Young Miss Gu in the medical hall?"
"Who’s looking for me? Gu Jiao asked from inside the carriage.
The eunuch could not see the person, but he heard her voice. He cupped his hands towards the carriage and said, "Rui w.a.n.gfei left her guqin in young miss’s courtyard. w.a.n.gfei asked this servant to take it back."
Gu Jiao responded, "Find Little Jiang Li and ask her to take you to get it. It should be on the display table at the right side of my study."
"Understood!" The young eunuch went into the medical hall through the back door.
Little Jiang Li was playing in the small courtyard of Gu Jiao when a young eunuch told her that she had come to get his guqin. "Hmm... The display table on the right... Ah, this!"
Little Jiang Li carried the guqin case out and handed it to the young eunuch.
"Thank you very much, little miss." The young eunuch happily hugged the guqin case and left.
Little Jiang Li continued to water the gra.s.s in the courtyard, frowning as she worked, "I got the correct one, didn’t I..."
Before, Gu Jiao allowed Little Jiang Li to play the guqin. When Little Jiang Li entered the room to play, she actually found two guqin and took them both out of the cases.
One of them was burnt.
When she had had enough playing them, she put them back into their original cases, but she couldn’t remember which belonged to which.
"Well, it"s all big sister Gu"s guqins anyway, it doesn’t matter which case I put them in!"Raz P."s Thoughts
