Chapter 598 Confusing right and wrong
Magistrate Tan standing by also understood their conversation and looked at Qingyi with both shock and fear.
What’s surprising is that this woman’s medical skills are so great that she can even cure the plague.
From what she said, His Royal Highness Prince Rui was fine, and he would not dare to lie in front of Prince Beichen.
What scared her was that she had previously thought that this woman was just a low-ranking servant who knew only a little bit of medical skills and dared to treat Prince Rui. She often mocked her and tried to trip her up, and even wanted to put her in jail.
Thinking about it now, Magistrate Tan broke out in a cold sweat and hurried forward.
"Miss Qingyi is truly a skilled doctor. She is truly a blessing to Jiangzhou."
"I didn't know that Miss Qingyi was originally the King of Beichen's man. I apologize for any offense I have caused you."
Seeing Prefect Tan, Qingyi frowned slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, and snorted coldly: "I am just a small doctor, how dare I trouble the prefect to apologize to me, I don't deserve it."
There was a glimmer of anger in Prefect Tan's eyes, she felt that the other party was too ungrateful, but because of the presence of King Beichen, she did not dare to show any dissatisfaction and could only smile.
"Miss Qingyi, it was all my fault. Please forgive me this time."
"What's going on here?"
Ji Yunxie, who was leaning on the ground beside him, asked curiously.
I don't understand how Magistrate Tan offended Qingyi.
The girl Qingyi is usually a non-competitive person and rarely gets angry. I don't know how Magistrate Tan made her angry.
Di Ran beside him was also frowning.
I only heard Qing Yi say: "Master, you don't know that Lord Tan is very bold. Not only did he stop me from treating Prince Rui, he also wanted to send Prince Rui to the suburbs for isolation. If Bai Qi and I hadn't tried our best to stop him, I'm afraid..."
Hearing this, Di Ran's face darkened: "Prefect Tan, is this true?"
"Your subordinate...your subordinate..."
Prefect Tan was sweating profusely and looked terrified.
"I heard that Governor Tan drove all the people infected with the plague to the suburbs outside Jiangzhou and left them to fend for themselves. Now he wants to send Prince Rui there as well. I wonder what Governor Tan means by this?" As soon as he entered Jiangzhou, he found many sick people in the suburbs. After asking around, he found out that it was all orders from the governor. Anyone infected with the disease had to enter the city, and if discovered, it would be a death sentence.
And the people who were driven away had no doctors to treat them, and the doctors in the city were afraid of the plague and dared not treat them.
Jiangzhou is in such chaos, but this Prefect Tan can really sit still.
Prefect Tan's scalp numbed under Di Ran's gaze, and his back was wet with sweat. Finally, he couldn't stand the pressure on his head and fell to his knees.
"Xiaguan...Xiaguan is guilty!"
"Oh?"
Di Ran raised his eyebrows slightly and said nonchalantly, "What crime has Prefect Tan committed?"
"This is my fault, and I had no choice."
"Many people in Jiangzhou City have been infected with the plague. I have no choice but to move them to the suburbs. Otherwise, more people would die in the city."
Magistrate Tan acted pitifully, as if she had her own difficulties and that everyone had wronged her.
Qingyi glared at Prefect Tan. She didn't expect that he would be so good at confusing right and wrong. She didn't have that expression on her face that day.
Di Ran stopped Qing Yi with his eyes, and his cold voice showed no emotion.
"Oh? What about King Rui?"
Prefect Tan didn't know whether Prince Beichen believed it or not, but he still gritted his teeth and continued to make excuses.
"This... This humble official was also extremely anxious. He was afraid that the King of Rui would infect other people, so he ordered his men to send the King of Rui out of the city. This humble official took the risk of being beheaded for the safety of the people."
"And even if I had a hundred guts, I would not dare to joke about the safety of Prince Rui. I have a villa in the suburbs, and I have already made arrangements to send His Royal Highness Prince Rui to the villa. First, to prevent infection, second, to avoid causing panic, and third, the villa is quiet, which is conducive to His Royal Highness's treatment."
"Everything I say is true, Your Majesty, please examine it carefully!"
"If the prince still wants to blame me, I have nothing to say."
