The private advisor finished recording the statement and turned to ask Gu Yundong, âWhat do you say?â
Gu Yundong shrugged and said, âIâve never left the house.â
âEven if youâve never left the house, you can ask someone else to do it.â Yu Youwei glared at her angrily.
âWho?â
âThe beggars in the city. The waiter of Fulong Inn saw you go out after you returned with his own eyes and look for the beggars outside. He also saw you give them silver. If you didnât order them to set fire, what else could it be?â Yu Youwei snorted.
The assistant took a note and said, âBring the waiter of Fulong Inn to the hall.â
The waiter came over quickly and replied as if he was Yu Youwei, âI was far away at that time and didnât see if she was giving money, but when those beggars passed by me, I saw them happily biting the silver.â
Yu Youwei looked at Gu Yundong. âWhat else do you have to say?â
âOh, where are the beggars?â
The private advisor also asked. He turned to look at the cold-faced constable. The latter shook his head, indicating that he had not found the beggars.
Yu Youwei said angrily, âThey must have been silenced by you.â
âWhereâs the evidence?â Gu Yundong asked again.
The prefecture magistrate, who was slumped lazily in his seat, finally looked at her. Huh? The young lady was so young. Not only was she calm, but she was also pressing on step by step.
He could not help but be interested.
Yu Youwei, who was in the hall, was speechless. Gu Yundong, on the other hand, spoke with a smile.
âSince you have no evidence, shouldnât it be my turn to say a few words?â
Yu Youwei was about to object when the private advisor nodded. âSpeak.â
âI have to explain Dr. Yuâs words. Firstly, about Yu Youwei being a quack, I didnât say this. It was determined by the former Imperial Hospitalâs Imperial Physician, Song Dejiang. I was lucky enough to meet Dr. Song. He saw that I was seeking treatment for my mother out of filial piety and took action to treat my mother. In the end, he told me a very bad result. Because Yu Youwei randomly treated my mother, the blood clot in my motherâs brain spread and her life was in danger. It was Dr. Song who saved my mother. I was grateful to him and naturally hated Yu Youwei.â
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard that. The imperial physician said that? It couldnât be wrong.
Even the prefecture magistrate looked up and nodded slightly. âImperial Physician Song is indeed brilliant.â
These words were more effective than anything else. Yu Youwei immediately panicked. âI didnâtâŠâ
âSecondly,â Gu Yundong interrupted him, âyou said that I hit you and your clinic caught fire. Later on, you said that I asked someone to set it on fire. But you have no witnesses and no physical evidence. How do I know that you didnât take the opportunity to frame me because you hated me for hitting you? In your eyes, Iâm probably just a person with no background in my teens who can be bullied at will. Do you think that as long as I enter the government office, Iâll be so afraid that I wonât be able to speak and you can throw me into jail as you please? You can also vent your anger.â
âHow dare you? What do you think the government office is?â The private advisor was talking to Yu Youwei.
Yu Youwei was scared out of his wits. Damn it, who was the one who was so scared that he couldnât speak?
Gu Yundong smiled. âThirdly.â
âThereâs a third?â
However, the onlookers were excited. âListen, listen, listen. I like to listen to this girl.â
âThatâs right. Sheâs much clearer and more reasonable than that quack.â
Gu Yundong was satisfied. Very good. Everyone had already decided that he was a quack..
