Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 223: Battling the Medicine Emperor Pavilion Again



The Wolf Fang Hunting Corps conceded the bet and did not tangle further.

Tang Yu was also pulled out from the riverbed silt by Yun Canglang, appearing with his head fully covered in mud, already suffocated and passed out.

With his current state, even his birth mother Yun Cangxue might not recognize him.

Upon seeing this, Yun Sheng pulled out a Four Seasons Glaze Needle and pricked him several times on his body.

The young man jumped up abruptly as if a dead pig scalded by boiling water.

"Wu ah--" Tang Yu found himself suddenly unable to make a sound, pointing at Yun Sheng with a face full of anger.

"You talk too much. Until I ascertain the cause of death, you'd better keep quiet," Yun Sheng said unpleasantly, planning to perform an autopsy later. If it were not for needing Tang Yu's testimony, she might have wished to let Tang Yu forever remain silent like Ye Beiming did.

Liu Hao felt somewhat relieved upon seeing Tang Yu's condition.

"Gentlemen, we have accepted our loss and agreed to let Vice Captain Yan perform the autopsy. But that's also because I trust Vice Captain Yan's integrity, surely he will uphold justice for me," Liu Hao said candidly, bringing several members of the Sky Hunting Corps to the outside of Yun Residence.

"It's people from the Yun Residence!" As soon as they saw Yun Canglang and the dizzy Tang Yu, the relatives of the deceased Miss Xian Yu gathered around.

"Uncles and aunts," seeing the agitated and potentially explosive crowd, Liu Hao stepped forward.

He roughly repeated what Yun Sheng had said.

"Nonsense, Liu Hao, Xian Yu is already dead, yet you still let others disgrace her body. Moreover, look at those behind you, they are all from Yun Residence, can you trust what they say?!" Xian Yu's father, an educated old scholar who values reputation, stepped forward.

After his daughter was ruined by that beast from Yun Residence, he had even considered letting her marry into Yun Residence.

Unexpectedly, his foolish daughter hanged herself outside the Yun Residence without uttering a word.

Now, they are saying that Xian Yu did not die from hanging, if that's not utterly ridiculous then what is.

"Old father, just now you mentioned Miss Xian Yu committed suicide, then let me ask you, if it were you, would you be able to hang yourself on such a tall ancient tree?" Knowing that conducting an autopsy would challenge these ancient folks' nerves, Yun Sheng simply stepped back few paces to the base of the Ancient Banyan Tree.

Xian Yu was found hanging from the Ancient Banyan Tree.

Reminded by Yun Sheng, Xian Yu's dad walked under the tree and looked up at the treetop.

He was around 1.7 meters tall; Xian Yu was a woman, only about 1.6 meters tall, but even at her father's height, the nearest treetop from the ground of the Ancient Banyan Tree was still more than one meter away.

"Perhaps my daughter moved a stepping stone there and hanged herself," Xian Yu's dad speculated, looking at a stone not far away then half-heartedly added, "Besides, we invited a doctor from Medicine Emperor Pavilion, Doctor Cheng, early in the morning, and he also affirmed that our Xian Yu died from hanging."

"However, according to what I know, when the people from Yun Residence found the body, there were no stones or stools around. Instead, there were many signs of struggle near Miss Xian Yu's hand," Yun Sheng continued, walking to the coffin and grabbing Xian Yu's hand, "I wonder if Doctor Cheng had examined these wounds at the time."

On the wrist and fingers, indeed, there were many discolored small wounds.

"This..." Xian Yu's dad, being a scholar, was not familiar with such matters and didn't know how to respond for the moment.

In the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, Cheng Sihai and several doctors were discussing when they suddenly heard someone outside seeking an audience, saying they were Xian Yu's relatives and hoping Doctor Cheng could spare some time to perform another autopsy.

"An autopsy?! What's going on, wasn't everything already clear, why check again?" Cheng Sihai frowned upon hearing this.

Ever since the incident at the free clinic, Cheng Sihai was plagued by bad luck, his many years of medical reputation nearly completely destroyed.

Grandmaster Wen suggested he suspend medical practice for a while, even the ordinary alchemy was left to others.

The income of a Doctor largely comes from consultations, and with Cheng Sihai stopping his consultations, his earnings significantly decreased.

The worst part was that Qi Fangfei even ordered an investigation into his past alchemy practices and purchasing records, which resulted in a significant portion of his medicinal herb income being cut off.

On one hand, Cheng Sihai thought about restoring his medical reputation, and on the other, he needed to find ways to obtain some income.

It just so happened that at this time, an incident occurred that shocked the entire Yujing at Yun Residence, and he coincidentally had some acquaintance with the old scholar who was Xian Yu's father.

Cheng Sihai, without any hesitation, took the initiative to act briefly as a forensic doctor, intending only to regain some attention from this widely-discussed Yun Residence incident.

He was not very proficient in autopsy, merely having skimmed through some notes from Medicine Emperor Pavilion, and based on the normal signs of a hanging victim, he issued a death certificate stating the cause as hanging.

In fact, through this Yun Residence incident, Cheng Sihai had indeed regained some reputation, and Grandmaster Wen's anger subsided, allowing him to resume his consultations.

Since his objective was achieved, Cheng Sihai naturally did not want to touch any unfortunate corpses again.

"Doctor Cheng, the other party claims that Xian Yu might not have committed suicide, saying that your autopsy was mistaken," the messenger said, also appearing clueless; he was just a messenger.

"Who dares to question my examination, or do they think they are more skilled than the doctors of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion?" Cheng Sihai said discontentedly.

"The other party mentioned someone from Little Ci'en Hall, a young female doctor," the messenger said, hesitantly.

"Little Ci'en Hall? That must be Yun Sheng, the only one who dares to question Medicine Emperor Pavilion and conduct an autopsy has to be her. Cheng Sihai, we at Medicine Emperor Pavilion cannot lose to Little Ci'en Hall again. Come, I'll go with you to check it out," Qi Fangfei came out, she had been at the Medicine Emperor Pavilion these past few days and had just come down today when she heard the news.

She had investigated Yun Sheng's background and discovered she was actually the daughter of Yun Canghai, the eldest son of Yun Residence. If they could leverage the incident involving Tang Yu this time, they could defeat Little Ci'en Hall in one fell swoop, which would be much more efficient than slowly erasing Little Ci'en Hall through controlling the medicinal herb suppliers.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Sihai had no choice but to put down his current work, grabbed his medical box, and rushed over with Qi Fangfei.

When they arrived outside Yun Residence, a simple tent had already been set up. The surroundings were guarded by Yun Residence's soldiers, who were blocking the onlookers from approaching.

"We are from Medicine Emperor Pavilion, here to perform an autopsy," after showing their Doctor's Token, Cheng Sihai and Qi Fangfei walked in.

The scene had already been cleared, and most unrelated individuals had been asked to leave.

Present were three members from the Wolf Fang Hunting Corps, three from the Sky Hunting Corps, Tang Yu, and the parents of Xian Yu.

Seeing their daughter's body being moved out again, Xian Yu's parents burst into tears.

"Yun Sheng, what are you really trying to do!" Seeing that it was indeed Yun Sheng, Cheng Sihai became furious.

It really seemed haunted, ever since meeting this troublesome girl, he hadn't had any good days.

His position in Medicine Emperor Pavilion plunged drastically, his medical reputation completely ruined, and even on the occasional autopsy, he was doubted. The instigator of these troubles was this damned girl before him.

"Make way," the gate of Yun Residence opened, and Old General Yun Bahe, accompanied by Uncle Yun and Yun Cangxue, also came out.

When Yun Cangxue saw her precious son's condition, his face bruised and his body covered in mud, barely able to speak, she burst into fury, shouting loudly like a shrew, "Who is it, who made my Yuyu look like this?"

"It's already good enough that he's still breathing," Yun Sheng glanced at Yun Cangxue, then at the cold corpse beside her, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes, immediately silencing Yun Cangxue.

Yun Bahe was still inside the residence, painstakingly thinking about how to resolve the Blood Hand Ditch incident when he heard from Uncle Yun that Yun Cang Lang and Yun Sheng had brought a group of people to the residence, including members from the Wolf Fang Hunting Corps.

Could it be that the negotiations had broken down? Unable to contain himself any longer, Yun Bahe stepped out.
