Seeing Lin Fei put the opened medicine package to his nose sniffed it, and then pinched a pinch of medicine powder to look at it carefully, Liang Hongjin twitched the corner of her mouth, tilted her head, and whispered to Tangyuan, Ah Bing, and others beside her: “I guess your Lin Shaoqing will probably say that there is something wrong with this medicine!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Fei, who had been looking at the medicine for a moment, turned his head and looked over here.

Although he didn’t say anything, the look in his eyes made Liang Hongjin feel a little puzzled. She hurriedly asked Wen Mingtang, “What does your Lin Shaoqing mean by this?”

Wen Mingtang, who had just put the longevity noodles into the bowl, looked up at Lin Fei and said, “Our Lin Shaoqing wants to say that there is something wrong with your medicine!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Tangyuan and A Bing couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Liang Hongjin: “…”

After Wen Mingtang finished speaking, Lin Fei on the other side also spoke up. He nodded and said, “There is indeed something wrong with your medicine!”

Liang Hongjin cast a suspicious glance at Lin Fei, then turned to look at Wen Mingtang, who was pouring the crab roe sauce over the noodles. After a moment of silence, she candidly said, “I suspect you two are trying to deceive me!”

“If you don’t believe me, you can find a few more doctors to take a look!” Lin Fei paused and looked at Liang Hongjin’s shoulder. “If you apply this medicine, your shoulder will never be healed!”

Liang Hongjin’s face turned pale with shock at these words. Even when the “longevity noodles” that she had been looking forward to for a whole morning were served, she looked a little uninterested.

After serving the noodles, Wen Mingtang cooked some ginger soup and served it to the two of them: “Crabs are very cold, so they need to be eaten with ginger soup!” After that, she patted Liang Hongjin’s shoulder, who was a little absent-minded, and said, “Let’s eat noodles first!”

The noodles were placed in front of her. The strong crab aroma of the freshly made crab roe topping rushed into her nose. The hot steam restored some sensation to Liang Hongjin’s cold hands and feet.

She picked up the chopsticks and asked Wen Mingtang: “Why? I have no grudge against Doctor Su from Jimin Hall!”

“If there is no hatred, then you are the one who is blocking his way!” Lin Fei picked up a piece of crab roe noodles with chopsticks slowly and said, “Let’s find a doctor to take a look and confirm it. If I am right, I will invite Doctor Su to the Dali Temple for questioning!”

After hearing this, Liang Hongjin’s expression eased a little, and she hummed, “You need to give me an explanation,” then she lowered her head and took a sip of the noodles in the bowl.

The crab roe topping was full of sandy grains, with the rich crab roe mixed with the freshness of the crab meat, and a layer of vinegar to remove the fishy smell. With one bite, it seemed that all the steps of eating crabs in daily life had been eliminated, and the deliciousness of the whole crab had been swallowed into the mouth.

Liang Hongjin was not a patient person. She loved the delicious crabs, but she was always unable to pick the crab meat properly. If she had to eat a crab by herself, half of it would be wasted. She had joked with Wen Mingtang in the past that it would be nice if someone could help her pick a crab one day.

This bowl of birthday noodles completely fulfilled her wish. The delicious taste of the noodles should have made her extremely happy, but when she thought that her shoulder was almost broken, her happiness was immediately diluted.

“Little thieves, too cowardly to confront me openly, yet they bully people in the shadows!” Liang Hongjin said fiercely while slurping the long, continuous longevity noodles. “Once I’m better, I’ll make sure they see!”

Wen Mingtang pushed her bowl of untouched ginger soup towards her and said, “Drink the ginger soup first to get rid of the cold!”

Liang Hongjin slurped up another mouthful of noodles as a response.

After finishing a bowl of crab roe noodles, the doctor was called in. Liang Hongjin stood up and followed Lin Fei to the lobby.

In just a cup of tea, Liang Hongjin came back with a grim look on her face.

“The medicine is fine; it just has powdered bone-eating herb added,” Liang Hongjin said, moving her shoulder and gritting her teeth. “Once my injury heals, I will definitely go ask Doctor Su from Jimin Tang for an explanation!”

Not only did Liang Hongjin want to ask Doctor Su for an explanation, but the Dali Temple also wanted to ask Doctor Su for an explanation.

After much difficulty, Liang Hongjin was pacified and sent back to the Ganzhiīwèi Station. Before everyone could go and invite Doctor Su, Liu Yuan had already taken the lead and invited Doctor Su to the Dali Temple.

“I have been to all the clinics in Chang’an that sell datura these past two days, but the datura in Jimin Hall is missing. When I asked Doctor Su about it, he said he didn’t know either. He also said that although Jimin Hall has datura, it was brought in for emergencies. He doesn’t know much about it, so he never prescribes medicine with datura!” Liu Yuan said, “We asked him where the datura in this clinic went, and he said it might have been stolen by rats!”

Of course, Liu Yuan wouldn’t believe such words, so he invited the person over.

However, he didn’t expect that when he finished speaking, he saw that Lin Fei and Bai Zhu opposite him both had somewhat subtle expressions. After a moment of hesitation, Liu Yuan hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Bai Zhu coughed lightly and told the story of Liang Hongjin.

Liu Yuan’s face changed after hearing this: “This Doctor Su from Jimin Hall is also a well-known old doctor in Chang’an City. If he really did it, I’m afraid something big will happen!”

Under the guise of saving the world and the people, he secretly did something harmful. How could no one have exposed him for so many years?

“Because there were still many people seeing the doctor at that time, I didn’t dare to make it public when I took Doctor Su away. I just said that I wanted to ask Doctor Su to go to the Dali Temple for questioning.” Liu Yuan said as he went to the Dali Temple prison with Lin Fei and Bai Zhu, “I’m afraid that once this matter is exposed, many people will not dare to trust doctors who treat and save people!”

For this reason, it was necessary to determine as soon as possible whether Doctor Su was wrongly accused or was a real villain.

When they saw Doctor Su in front of them, he was sitting on the stone bed waiting. When he saw everyone, he immediately said, “Ask me whatever you want, but you need to let me go as soon as possible. There are still many patients waiting for me to see them!”

Bai Zhu, who was about to speak, choked at these words and subconsciously glanced at Liu Yuan behind him: Looking at this gray-haired and serious Doctor Su, it is no wonder that Liu Yuan felt that this Doctor Su no longer looked like a villain.

But whether he was a bad person or not was not something that could be determined by just a few words of explanation, but by evidence.

“I have made it clear about the matter of Datura. I have never prescribed medicine containing Datura. As a doctor, I dare not use unfamiliar medicines carelessly!” Doctor Su said, “You can go to my clinic and look for the consultation booklet. Every single transaction is recorded there.”

“Since it has not been prescribed, where is the medicine?” Liu Yuan asked him with a frown.

“I don’t know, but my place was once infested with rats. Since this medicine is not often used, I placed it in an unused medicine cabinet. Maybe it was eaten by rats.” Doctor Su said.

“Even if you put this answer in court, few people will believe it.” Bai Zhu shook his head and handed over a pile of medicine bags in his hand. “General Liang from Ganzhiwei came to you this morning to treat her shoulder injury. This is the medicine prescribed by your clinic. Do you recognize it?”

Doctor Su glanced at the medicine bag in Bai Zhu’s hand and nodded, “I remember this incident. I did prescribe medicine for that female general Liang today!”

“Bone-eroding powder was found in the medicine!” Bai Zhu said, handing the medicine bag to him. “You are a doctor, you should know the power of this thing better than us. Can you tell us why bone-eroding powder was added to General Liang’s medicine bag?”
