"Today, the magistrate will publicly judge Day Rui and invite everyone from the Xia Clan's hospital over. Today, I want to settle this debt with them." An Ting said fiercely.

"Yes, my lord!" Grand Master happily ran out.

Xia Li and Sun Chun had been busy the whole night, and the moment they fell asleep in the morning, they were immediately called out by the Lee's in the courtyard.

"Little Li, wake up quickly. Someone from the County Yamen has arrived and is asking you to go with Sun Chun."

Lee's's words were like a bomb, blowing up the quiet little courtyard. After the two had washed up, they all felt different way of thinking as they followed the yamen runners to County Yamen.

At this time, the County Yamen entrance was already surrounded by many people who were watching the show. Lee's and Xia Qing were squeezed to the outside and could only tiptoe to look at the court.

"Master, why did you ask hubby and I to come here?" Xia Li looked at the seated An Ting who had changed his expression a long time ago.

Your subordinate, Day Rui, was slow when facing a patient who came to seek medical treatment, delaying the patient's best time to diagnose and treat, causing the patient to die. Currently, he has already been sentenced to death, and as the actual boss of this hospital, you have unavoidable responsibilities.

"This official will uphold the original verdict. You and your hubby will compensate the patient's family with a hundred silver as funeral expenses!" An Ting slapped the wooden stick in the hall. The yamen runners on both sides struck their sticks together to show their might, causing the people outside to have an opinion.

"Such a good hospital, how did he even kill her?"

"I heard that they kicked the patient out!"

"It's such a pity for that old man. A perfectly fine person to be delayed like that is a human's life."

"This kind of people who waste their life to kill others should be killed! That Day Rui is definitely not a good person! "

"County Head killed Day Rui!"

"Kill him!"

The rumours were like a virus, quickly floating around the court. In less than half a day, the citizens surrounding them had all sided in support of County Head's judgement.

Xia Li and Sun Chun were both helpless, no matter what they said in the palace, no one would listen to them, but she could not let this matter continue, she knew that all of her hard work last night had gone to waste, County Head was simply toying with them, she had to make her last effort.

"Sir!" If it's someone from our hospital who delayed the treatment of the patient, we would be willing to take responsibility for it. But, have you examined the patient's corpse? What kind of illness does the patient have? "

Xia Li stared at An Ting and asked.

"What a joke, you are doctors of the hospital, aren't you clear on what kind of sickness the patient has? "Why are you asking me!" An Ting slapped the Shocking Wood, and asked Xia Li angrily.

Honestly speaking, Master is not a doctor, he only knows a few medicinal herbs, and is responsible for seizing the medicines in hospital. He was unable to treat the patients, and at that time, he advised the patients to leave the hospital to find a doctor for another place. His actions were not wrong, and the only thing he could do was to find out the cause of the patient's sudden death.

The more Xia Li spoke, the angrier she got. The whole matter had been cleared, and the most important witness was the old man's corpse. She had to find an opportunity to check it out.

"My lord, my wife is right. May I ask you to examine the dead body of the deceased patient again. Perhaps the death of the patient was caused by some other cause?" Sun Chun's words undoubtedly stirred up three waves as everyone began to seriously think about it.

"Now that the weather is so hot, this old man's stone has been in County Yamen for three days and has started to stink. The family members really do not want this old man to continue suffering, and have cremated his corpse." A trace of cunning flashed past An Ting's eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he looked extremely pleased with himself.

"What did you say?" Xia Li's expression was ugly, his eyes were filled with unspeakable shock.

"How dare you!" How dare you call you rude! " The Grand Master stood up and shouted to Xia Li.

Sun Chun indifferently swept a glance at the Grand Master. The cold and oppressive feeling made the Grand Master feel guilty for some reason, and he took a big step back.

"In this case, the accused Day Rui personally admitted that the deceased patient entered your hospital to seek medical treatment. If the doctor did not appear, he would die without prompt treatment, which is a waste of his life.

"By killing your subordinate Day Rui, I have only punished you with a hundred silver coins. Xia Li, you are just a woman, don't try to cause trouble in the court, return the favor, slap the face! This case was to maintain the original verdict, and the offender would be beheaded tomorrow at noon! "Retreat!"

An Ting seemed to have a bad feeling in his heart. He heavily patted the wood and stood up, walking towards the rear of the hall with a face full of red light.

Day Rui, who had been kneeling at the side and remaining silent, only felt that the word "kill" had been echoing in his mind the entire time, and his entire body had collapsed onto the ground.

Xia Li was filled with grief and indignation, he chased after An Ting's figure and prepared to rush forward, but he was hugged by Sun Chun who was beside him.

"What do you want!? Believe it or not, we'll capture you as well and put you in the dungeon! " The Grand Master stood in the corner and glared at Xia Li who had lost control of his emotions and shouted. The yamen runners on both sides also glared at Xia Li like tigers stalking their prey.

"Shopkeeper, you have to save me!" "Shopkeeper!" Day Rui was no longer able to remain calm. The fear of death made him abruptly push aside the bailiffs on both sides, and he knelt in front of her, imploring her bitterly.

Tears fell from Xia Li's eyes as he held Day Rui's hand. Resisting the tears with great difficulty, he gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I have to stake my life, I will save you!"

"What are you guys doing, hurry up and pull this condemned man away!" Following the order of the Grand Master, two bailiffs surrounded Day Rui and snatched him away.

"Shopkeeper, you have to save me!" I don't want to die yet! " Day Rui's voice became louder and louder, causing Xia Li's emotions to collapse. She could not hold on any longer and fell into Sun Chun's embrace.

"Little Li, you have to be strong, hold on!" Sun Chun anxiously called out to Xia Li, to prevent her from fainting.

The current Xia Li had a headache that was about to explode. She clenched her teeth and endured, firmly grabbing onto Sun Chun's arm.

"Did you get another headache?" Sun Chun hugged Xia Li and whispered into her ear.

"Yes." The current Xia Li was in so much pain that she couldn't do anything, even though she was unwilling.

Just as Sun Chun took two steps forward with Xia Li in his arms, the Grand Master caught up and blocked his path.

"If the two of you leave with a hundred silver taels and leave without taking them out, then you two poor lovers can go to jail!"

When the group of yamen runners heard about the money, they automatically surrounded them, all of their eyeballs wishing that they could jump out and surround Xia Li and the two of them.

"If you want money, you don't have any, but if you want life, you only have these two!" After Sun Chun finished speaking, he looked around coldly at the people around him, then carried Xia Li and walked forward. The surrounding yamen runners did not give Sun Chun any chance, and directly pounced on him.

The pitiful bunch of bailiffs were beaten black and blue by Sun Chun. If they walked out, even their mothers would not be able to recognize them.

The Grand Master stood at the side, afraid to speak. When Sun Chun walked to his front, carrying Xia Li, he said pretentiously.

"If you don't have any silver, bring it tomorrow!" "How annoying, let's hurry up and go!" With that, the Grand Master ran to the back of the hall.

Sun Chun walked out of the County Yamen with Xia Li in his arms. At this time, it was already drizzling rain in the air, and the spectators had long dispersed. Lee's held onto Xia Qing, holding onto an umbrella, and swung it for Sun Chun to prevent the rain from falling on his and Xia Li's bodies.

The corners of Lee's's eyes were red, I don't know how many times he had cried, but at this time, the rain and tears had intertwined on his face, his hair and clothes were wet. Xia Qing also noticed the change in the atmosphere, and obediently followed behind Lee's.

Seemingly even the heavens had felt the sorrows of the human world, and the rain continued to fall on the second day. When noon arrived, County Head, who was sitting in a makeshift shed, threw the medallion that he had killed on the table coldly onto the ground.

The empty ground beside was already filled with people watching the execution. Some of them pointed at Day Rui and shouted, some of them even had red eyes, while others remained silent.

"I was wrongly accused..." A head rolled to the ground, and some of the cowards in the crowd screamed out. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the red blood mixed with the rain and turned into a puddle of blood.

An Ting raised his head, looked at a corner of a teahouse not far away, and waved his hand, his lips revealing a smile of satisfaction.

The entrance to the market quieted down. Other than a pool of blood, there was no one else around. The world was filled with torrential rain that quickly washed away the blood and water, leaving not a single trace behind.

"Day Rui!" With a frightened voice, Xia Li sat up on the bed. The towel on his forehead also fell to the ground, waking up the Lee's who was accompanying him.

"Little Li, you're awake!" Lee's hugged Xia Li emotionally, crying until her nose was snot and tears flowed. Her voice was hoarse and her face was haggard, two black eye circles, in Xia Li's eyes, she felt even more sorry.

Xia Li looked at the night sky outside, hugged Lee's and asked: "Mother, did I sleep for the whole day? Listen to me, there's still half a day before Day Rui is beheaded, so I'll have to trouble you to help me cook something to eat. I want to take advantage of the fact that the sky is still dark, get up early, and think of a way to save him! "

"Alright, I'll cook for you." Lee's could not hold it in anymore, he covered his mouth and ran out.

Xia Li looked at Lee's's back and frowned, he felt that something was amiss, he lifted the blanket on his body and got off the bed, walking to the door, only to see Lee's leaning on the door frame, crying loudly. Perhaps seeing Xia Li, Lee's hurriedly hid in the kitchen to pretend to be busy.

Xia Li felt that something was amiss. What happened to Lee's? Why are you crying so loudly?

Where's Sun Chun? Where did he go? Xia Li had a lot of questions in his heart, maybe he missed Sun Chun too much, so he couldn't help but go to his room.
