Chapter 378: I'll give 52 silver coins to anyone who's willing to try.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaoxiao and Pei Yan felt a glimmer of hope. They quickly and tearfully recounted to the governor the injustice suffered by the Fang family's medical clinic.
Fang Xiaoxiao's tears rolled down her cheeks like broken beads, her voice trembling: "My lord, please do justice for me!" Pei Yan stood to the side, his fists clenched, his gaze firm yet urgent.
As the governor listened to their pleas, his face grew increasingly grim. After a moment of contemplation, he immediately decided to reopen the case of the Fang Family Medical Clinic.
On the day of the retrial, the area outside the county government office was packed with people, creating a lively scene. People came from all directions, crowding around the county government office, all wanting to witness the trial process firsthand.
Filled with nervousness and anticipation, Fang Xiaoxiao strode confidently into the county government office. Her eyes were resolute, her steps steady, as she presented the evidence she had painstakingly collected, piece by piece.
Li Laoliu was currently mingling in the crowd, his face deathly pale, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. His eyes were filled with panic and unease, he kept glancing left and right, and his hands trembled involuntarily.
As the case progressed, the truth, like an onion being peeled back layer by layer, gradually became clear to everyone. It turned out that the deceased did not die from the pills at Fang Family Clinic, but was instead cruelly given a deadly dose of arsenic beforehand, and then framed by someone with ulterior motives.
The masterminds behind all this conspiracy were the greedy county magistrate and the treacherous Li Laoliu. In order to satisfy their own desires, they resorted to any means to frame the Fang family clinic.
The moment the truth came to light, the people were outraged, condemning the magistrate's misdeeds. The magistrate, like a wilted eggplant, collapsed to the ground, and was severely reprimanded by the governor, immediately dismissed and investigated. Meanwhile, Fang Rourou, who had been unjustly imprisoned, was finally released amidst cheers from the crowd.
As Fang Rourou stepped out of the dark, damp cell, the warm sunlight gently shone on her face. Her eyes sparkled with the joy of surviving a near-death experience, and she was filled with renewed anticipation for the future.
However, just as everyone was cheering for the justice that had been served, the mysterious mad monk disappeared again without a trace, as if he had never existed in this world.
Although the injustice done to Fang Family Clinic was finally cleared after this dramatic incident, the shocking medical disturbance had already left a deep-seated fear and suspicion in the hearts of the people. The clinic's business plummeted, and the once bustling scene was gone, replaced by a deserted place.
Fang Xiaoxiao sat blankly in the empty lobby of the clinic, her eyes filled with loneliness and sorrow. She looked at the medicine cabinet that used to hold various medicinal herbs, now covered with a thin layer of dust, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Are we just going to give up like this?" Pei Yan slowly walked over, his voice tinged with helplessness and resentment, and gently patted Fang Xiaoxiao's shoulder.
Fang Xiaoxiao slowly raised her head, a stubborn determination flashing in her eyes: "No! We must not give up! We must restore the clinic to its former liveliness and prosperity."
So they began to tirelessly travel around, patiently explaining the truth to every willing listener and showing the clinic the various efforts it had made to improve.
One day, an elderly man with white hair hesitated at the entrance of the clinic, his face full of confusion and doubt. Fang Xiaoxiao spotted him and quickly went up to him with a smile: "Grandpa, come in and take a look. Our clinic is very different from what it used to be."
The old man hesitated for a long time before finally entering the clinic with some doubt.
Fang Xiaoxiao treated the old man with complete concentration and meticulous care, and then wrote out a carefully prepared prescription.
As the old man left, a satisfied smile finally appeared on his face.
Gradually, some of the old customers began to return to the clinic.
However, the recovery of business was not smooth sailing, and Fang Xiaoxiao and Pei Yan still faced numerous difficulties and severe challenges.
One night, the bright moon hung high in the sky, casting its cool light. Fang Xiaoxiao and Pei Yan sat side by side in the courtyard, gazing at the bright moon, lost in thought.
"I wonder how many more hardships we'll have to endure before the clinic can truly return to its former glory." Pei Yan gazed at the sky and sighed deeply.
Fang Xiaoxiao held Pei Yan's hand tightly and said with a firm gaze, "As long as we hold on to our beliefs and never give up, there will always be hope."
Just then, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door.
Fang Xiaoxiao and Pei Yan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with doubt and anticipation.
The urgent knocking suddenly broke the stillness of the night, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, shattering the tranquility of the courtyard. Fang Xiaoxiao and Pei Yan were startled by the sudden noise, exchanged a puzzled look, and then quickly got up and walked towards the door.
Fang Xiaoxiao reached out and opened the door. Moonlight shone like water onto the two people standing at the door. They were the fat guy from before and his good brother.
"Miss Fang, Young Master Pei, we've finally found you!" the fat man said with a big smile, panting heavily. Beads of sweat glistened on his round face, shining like pearls in the moonlight.
Fang Xiaoxiao was both surprised and delighted, her eyes lighting up immediately: "So it's you! Come in, come in!" She quickly ushered the two into the courtyard.
The group sat down at the stone table in the courtyard. Fang Xiaoxiao asked impatiently, "You've come to see us so late, is there something important?"
The fat man chuckled, scratched his head, and beamed with excitement: "My brother and I are here to invest in Fang Family Medical Clinic!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaoxiao was overjoyed and almost jumped up with excitement. Her face blossomed into a radiant smile like spring flowers: "Really? That's wonderful!"
However, Fang Rourou, who was sitting to the side, frowned slightly, a hint of worry on her face. She gently bit her lip and said, "Will this work? Are there any risks?" Her eyes were full of unease and hesitation.
Pei Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "I think we can give it a try. Maybe this will be a turning point for us." His tone was firm and steady, giving people a sense of reassurance.
Fang Xiaoxiao excitedly grabbed the fat man's hand, her eyes full of anticipation: "Fatty, since you're willing to invest, we need to plan this out carefully."
The fat man nodded hurriedly and said sincerely, "Miss Fang, whatever you say, I'll do!"
