Chapter 2053: Chapter 2053: Magistrate
The woman was bewildered, yet obediently pushed the medicine pill into the man’s mouth, her eyes even lit up.
The medicine pill melted upon entering the mouth, so there was no worry about swallowing.
Li Tongzhi’s face was exceedingly sour, and he wanted to have Yang Ruxin pulled away, but before the officials could move, a few people appeared out of nowhere and immobilized those officials with pressure points.
Li Tongzhi was startled: "Are you rebelling?"
"Lord Li, please calm down." Gu Qiao calmly looked at Li Tongzhi, his demeanor was not like looking at an Imperial Court official of the fourth rank, but more like looking at a dead person.
Li Tongzhi was an experienced official, skilled at reading expressions. Although he had never met Yang Ruxin, he had heard about her and quite a lot of things at that. Seeing her skilled needlework, his heart skipped a beat—could this be Madam Ruyi? But when did she return? Why was there no information?
Madam Ruyi was a legitimate third-rank, and although the Governor was also third-rank, within the third-rank there were distinctions between upper and lower; Madam Ruyi was upper third-rank, while the Governor was lower.
Normally, the distinction between upper and lower ranks wasn’t emphasized, but strictly speaking, the Governor should salute Yang Ruxin upon meeting her.
Looking again at those blocking the officials, their demeanor and attire clearly showed they were hidden guards, confirming beyond doubt that this woman was Yang Ruxin.
Li Tongzhi suddenly regretted coming personally today.
Meanwhile, Yang Ruxin, after diagnosing the unconscious man, got up to examine the old man’s arm.
"Thank you, madam." The young man suddenly knelt down.
"Men have gold under their knees." With Chun Hua’s help, Yang Ruxin quickly reset and fixed the old man’s arm, then turned to look at the young man, "Rise."
The surrounding people who had just witnessed the whole scene had changed expressions in their eyes.
"Who are you? You..." Leng Haotian frowned as he looked at Yang Ruxin.
"This person just mistakenly ate toxic mushrooms, it’s not yet fatal, but your doctor thought he was constipated, and stubbornly prescribed him Badou leaves..." Yang Ruxin didn’t even know how to ridicule this, the doctor was simply ignorant, "Were you hoping he’d die faster?"
"You’re talking nonsense..." An elder standing beside Leng Haotian shouted, "When did I prescribe Badou leaves? The medicine contained was Shan Hu..." He was suddenly stunned after speaking.
Yang Ruxin laughed, "Weren’t you just saying this family has not come for treatment?"
"I..." The elder conceded.
"Where did you come from, wild girl? How dare you speak nonsense, my lord, you..."
"Shut up." Once Li Tongzhi confirmed Yang Ruxin’s identity in his mind, he naturally wouldn’t offend her openly, so he shouted softly at Leng Haotian.
Leng Haotian was startled, but kept silent.
"Lord Li, I’ll leave this case to you." Yang Ruxin looked at Li Tongzhi, "You are the parent official of Linjiang Prefecture, the people are watching, don’t let minor things ruin major ones."
"Madam, I will handle it impartially." Li Tongzhi hurriedly bowed his fists in salute.
Yang Ruxin nodded: "Deal with it here then, these two aren’t lightly injured, not suitable for moving."
