Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 60
Chapter 060 Lord Ji Yucha
“What are you doing here? Come in and help me!” When Bai Junzhuo saw Yin Xun’s footsteps suddenly stop, he cried out for help with a sad face.
Yin Xun immediately shook his head. He must have thought too much. It was impossible for him to mean that.
He reached out to take Ah Qing, and Bai Junzhuo heaved a sigh of relief. He leaned weakly against the table and said to him, “Great, I’ll leave this child to you.”
“Well,” Yin Xun replied indifferently, “it doesn’t matter if you’re a third-rate doctor, you’re still not responsible.”
“Hey!” Bai Junzhuo immediately became unwilling and angrily said, “There is no doctor in this world who can cure a child who likes to cry. If you have the ability, tell him not to cry.”
Without saying a word, Yin Xun turned Ah Qing around to face him and coldly said to him, “If you cry again, you will fall to death.”
Ah Qing was instantly stunned. She didn’t dare to utter a single sound. After a while, she dared to silently sniff. She carefully pinched Yin Xun’s clothes and shouted, “Daddy.”
Bai Junzhuo was dumbfounded, so he didn’t cry anymore?
Yin Xun looked at her provocatively, “Even the child can’t be coaxed. Are you a woman?”
Bai Junzhuo immediately retorted, “How dare you say that to me? Are you trying to coax me? It’s clearly a threat!”
Yin Xun said calmly, “As long as we can achieve our goal, we will use the same method.”
“Such a young child is still a fool with a brain problem. You actually threatened him like this. Be careful of being punished by the heavens!”
Yin Xun actually laughed, “Are you threatening me?”
“I” Bai Junzhuo was speechless for the time being. “Give me Ah Qing, so that you don’t scare him.”
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Ah Qing’s arm. Yin Xun hugged Ah Qing’s leg and shook his head, “You threw him to me just now, and now you want him back. What do you think he is? Besides, if I give him to you, you’ll make him cry again.”
“A scary bastard doesn’t have the right to say such things to me! Let go!” Bai Junzhuo continued to pull Ah Qing.
Yin Xun refused to let go. Ah Qing felt uncomfortable being pulled. She curled her lips and started crying again. Only then did Bai Junzhuo realize that she might have hurt him and immediately let go. Yin Xun also thought that he had hurt him and let go of his hand.
With a “dong” sound, Ah Qing fell to the ground and slammed her forehead hard on the ground. Immediately, there was no sound.
Bai Junzhuo hurriedly bent down to pick Ah Qing up and wanted to take him to the pharmacy. He forgot that his foot was injured as well. With this movement, his body fell forward uncontrollably.
Yin Xun could not afford to pull her back, so he could only block in front of her to protect her and Ah Qing. The tables and stools were knocked over and crackled. It was simply terrible!
Bai Junzhuo felt sorrowful in his heart. Everything had gone wrong today!

In the secretariat’s mansion, Cha Jinzhi flipped through the files in the study. Suddenly, a government official came over and reported, “Sir, there is someone outside who wants to report the case.”
Cha Jinzhi hurriedly closed the file and said, “Hurry up and ascend the hall.”
He hurried to the front hall, and the person who reported the case also came up. She was a woman about forty years old, dressed plainly and without any powder.
“Who are you kneeling on and suing?” Cha Jinzhi asked.
“The maiden is Ye shi, a peasant woman from Shili Village outside Luoyang City. She is suing the maiden’s husband.” The woman burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth.
“If you have any grievances, please do not hesitate to say that this official will definitely make the decision for you.” Cha Jinzhi said warmly.
Ye shi cried for a while, Only then did he say, “My lord, the husband of the maiden is crazy. He runs around naked all day and doesn’t want to make progress. He runs to brothels every day and runs out of money at home. Now, his four children are hungry. The youngest one is only half a year old and is just waiting to be fed. But he is like this … the maiden, the maiden can’t live anymore!”
Hearing this, Cha Jinzhi felt a headache. There was no law in the Li Kingdom that made it a crime for a man not to wear clothes. It was not a crime to go to a brothel and not be enterprising.
However, on second thought, he thought of another matter and asked, “Luoyang Governor Ma should be in charge of this matter for you. Why did you sue me?”
Madam Ye opened her sleeves and said, “The maiden went to look for Lord Ma, but …” “Lord, take a look!”
Cha Jinzhi looked over and saw traces of burning and whipping on one of his arms.
“My lord, this is the kind of injury that the maiden’s entire body suffered. It was all caused by Ma Daren’s life!”
Cha Jinzhi frowned, “Why did he hit you?”
“It’s because my husband took the medicine he gave him that he became like this!”
“Medicine?” Cha Jinzhi was confused, “What exactly is the situation? Quickly explain it in detail!”
“The neighbors of the commoner girl were cheated in the Governor’s Mansion. One day, they brought back a packet of white powder. They said that it was a good reward from Lord Ma. After my husband ate it, he became like that. After that, he sent people to Luoyang City to buy this powder,” Ye shi cried. “This thing is very expensive. After eating it, I can’t help but go to the brothel. This is what ruined the folk girl’s good home!”
Cha Jinzhi was stunned and said, “Are you sure this thing came from Lord Ma? If you slander the Imperial Court’s official, you will kill him!”
Madam Ye kowtowed, “Everything the maiden said is true. If you don’t believe me, let the maiden take off her clothes and show you the injuries on your body!”
Cha Jinzhi hurriedly waved his hand and said, “No need. You go home first. This official will definitely investigate this matter carefully. If it is really as you said, this official will definitely make the decision for you.”
Ye shi thanked him and was escorted out of the hall by the yamen attendant.
Cha Jinzhi frowned. He heard Bai Junzhuo say that Malian Prefecture was different from the outside. After the people of Luoyang City complained, he began to investigate. However, there was not a single bit of evidence to prove Malian Prefecture guilty.
Did he do it too cleanly, or was he really innocent?
Outside, Shen Qing followed Ye shi, who was escorted out by the yamen attendant, and turned an alley entrance with her to walk in front of her.
“You’ve done a good job,” Shen Qing tossed her the silver ingot. “Move away, so that Lord Cha won’t bring you here to try the case again and reveal more flaws in your words.”
Ye shi said, “Young Master, please rest assured. This servant will leave Luoyang now and thank you for the people of Luoyang City.”
She bowed and left this place in a hurry.
Shen Qing turned around to leave. Suddenly, a purple-clothed man jumped down from the roof and landed in front of him.
“Has Master sent you away so that you can be alone with Miss Bai?”
The person who came was Lu Kang. He shook his fan and asked with a smile.
“I guess so.” Shen Qing nodded.
“Let’s go,” Lu Kang hugged Shen Qing. “Let’s go to the White Manor to add more blockages to him.”
Shen Qing was slightly speechless, but she still followed him back to the Bai Manor.
When they arrived, Yin Xun and Bai Junzhuo’s faces darkened as they sat by the bed with A Qing lying on it.
“Is he alright?” Yin Xun was a little worried.
Bai Junzhuo sighed, “My forehead has been tapped. Although my body is fine, I guess I’ll be even more stunned when I wake up.”
Shen Qing watched from behind them and couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “I only left for a while before I made Young Master Ah Qing look like this. Ah, really …”
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a cold aura rising from Yin Xun’s body. Shen Qing immediately shut up.
Yin Xun turned around and glanced at Shen Qing and Lu Kang.
Shen Qing only nodded. Lu Kang said, “Master, don’t worry. The batch of Cold Food Powder has been disposed of according to Miss Bai’s instructions. They definitely didn’t see any flaws.”
“Did Malian Prefecture do anything?”
“Shen Ze probably sensed something. He contacted Ma Lianzhou and said that he was going to the Governor’s Mansion tonight. What should he do next” Lu Kang paused for a moment and said, “I still need to listen to Miss Bai’s idea.”
Everyone looked at Bai Junzhuo. Bai Junzhuo sighed and said, “Right now, I don’t have the heart to think about that. This child has been unconscious. What should I do?”
Lu Kang said, “Little Young Master is unconscious. It’s useless to be anxious. Why don’t we settle the matter at hand first?”
Bai Junzhuo looked back at him and nodded for a long time before saying, “You’re right.”
Yin Xun asked, “Did Shen Ze look for Ma Lianzhou at this time and discover that something was wrong with that batch of cold food?”
Lu Kang shook his head, “Absolutely impossible. Master, please believe me. I did this perfectly, and he will not discover it.”
Bai Junzhuo said, “I guess we have to deal with Master Cha. If you want to sell something in Luoyang City, how can you hide it from Master Cha? Master Cha has always been unwilling to cooperate with them.” “Besides, I went to his mansion last night to make a fuss. He must be worried. He wants to sell this batch of goods as soon as possible, so he jumps over the wall and wants to get rid of Lord Cha.”
“A small merchant has the guts to murder an imperial court lieutenant?” Shen Qing asked.
“Isn’t there Ma Lianzhou behind him?” Bai Junzhuo said.
“Ma Lianzhou is a few levels lower than Lord Cha. How dare he?” Shen Qing asked.
Bai Junzhuo said coldly, “Don’t you think about it? A small satrap has been in the countryside for so many years, why hasn’t anyone noticed?”
After a moment of silence, Lu Kang said, “Is there a backer behind Malian Continent?”
He turned to look at Yin Xun and saw that Yin Xun’s expression had sunk.
Originally, he thought that this kind of local officials would not be related to the key officials of Xuchang, but he didn’t expect that such an investigation would reveal that there were countless strands of connections between them. His master really couldn’t hide anywhere.
“This is just my guess,” Bai Junzhuo said. “Since Shen Ze is going to look for Ma Lianzhou tonight, let’s sneak into the Governor’s Mansion to investigate.”
“You want to go too?” Yin Xun turned to look at Bai Junzhuo.
“Of course!”
“No.” Yin Xun could not help but refuse.
Bai Junzhuo glared at him, “Hey! Why don’t you let me go?!”
Yin Xun said calmly, “You have a wound on your foot.”
So that’s what he was thinking? Bai Junzhuo’s heart warmed up. Although he sometimes hated it, his heart wasn’t bad.
Her tone softened, “But I still want to …”
Yin Xun interrupted her, “We need to be extra careful about this matter. We also need to bring you, a disabled person, to get in the way.”
“You!” Bai Junzhuo retracted her previous emotions. At this moment, she only wanted to slap him in the mouth. Who told him to speak mercilessly this time!
Bai Junzhuo glared at Yin Xun. Suddenly, he realized that his sleeve had been gently pulled. He hurriedly turned around and saw A Qing staring at her with her big round eyes.
