Doctor Tang did not expect Pei Qian to not show them any respect and directly expose their little scheme. If it were anyone else, he might have the courage to explain, but the person he was facing now was Pei Qian…
This person treated human lives like dirt!
With a thud, Doctor Tang knelt in front of Pei Qian while trembling. He did not dare to say anything. He only kowtowed and apologized.
They really did want to fight for credit.
This was a political achievement that could bring them great benefits. If they could get credit for it, it would be very beneficial to their future.
Moreover, in their opinion, Madam Liu was just a village girl who had some medical skills. She had no power or influence. As long as they used some tricks, they would definitely get it done!
Unfortunately, the person in charge this time was Pei Qian, who had never acted according to common sense.
“I know your plan. You think that Madam Liu is just an ordinary village woman who has no power or influence, so you can snatch her credit. Without anyone knowing, you can accumulate enough merits for yourself to rise up through the ranks!
You don’t have to enter the plague area to take care of the patients, nor do you have to worry about the prescription, as long as you can take credit. Shame on all of you!”
After saying this, Pei Qian paused and glanced at Doctor Tang, who was kneeling on the ground. Just as Doctor Tang felt that he was done for, he heard Pei Qian, who had already walked to his side, say, “However, it’s not impossible for me to understand why you guys have such thoughts!
As the saying goes, men strive for success!
If you want to get promoted and become rich, I won’t stop you! After all, we have gone through so much together!
Madam Liu, a country girl, indeed doesn’t need such credit. However, she was the one who discovered the plague after all. She was the one who entered the plague area to treat the patients. In the end, she was the one who found the prescription and cured the patients!
It doesn’t seem appropriate for you to take credit for her deeds while contributing nothing, does it?!”
They originally thought that they were definitely screwed at this point, but they did not expect such a turnaround.
Doctor Tang quickly looked up at Pei Qian expectantly and probed, “Then, what do you mean?”
“Since you want the credit, shouldn’t you give up some of the rewards?” Pei Qian’s tone was very calm, but Doctor Tang, who was kneeling on the ground, did not have the courage to say no.
“Five thousand taels each! You also know that if everything goes smoothly on this trip, you will naturally be rewarded when you return to the capital!
It’s only 5,000 taels of silver. I believe the four of you are not stingy!”
“But I didn’t bring so much silver with me when I left the capital!” Doctor Tang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that they just had to pay 5,000 taels of silver per person.
Although this was not a small sum, as Pei Qian had said, it was not impossible for a family like theirs to gather this bit of money!
However, where could he get the money from now?!
“That’s easy. I have it! If you want this credit, come and sign the IOU, so after returning to the capital, I won’t have to be afraid of you reneging on your debt!”
As Pei Qian spoke, he had already walked back to the table and threw the four IOUs he had been writing in front of Doctor Tang. “Take them. Go back and discuss it with your colleagues. If you agree, sign and send this IOU back. Then, I’ll take it that you agree!
“If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you! However, don’t try to take credit! After we go back, I’ll report everything that happened here. At that time, you’ll probably be charged with desertion and dereliction of duty. At most, you’ll be fired! Worst case scenario, you might be executed!”
It would have been better if Pei Qian did not mention it. At the mention of it, Doctor Tang did not dare to delay any longer. He kowtowed and rushed out.
Not long after, he bent down and respectfully handed the four IOUs to Pei Qian.
With enough herbs, the remaining patients recovered one after another. In the end, only the three patients with the most serious illnesses were still recovering. Du Yuanruo, who had been forced in by Pei Qian previously, had no desire to run even if he was not tied up.
Because he had been completely subdued.
This was because Lu Ze had thrown him towards those contaminated blankets. He was not lucky enough and really got infected.
At first, Lin Suisui wanted to treat him, but just as Pei Qian had said previously, Third Young Master Du had a noble status. How could he be willing to let her get close to him?!
He kept clamoring for an imperial physician!
How could there be an imperial physician in the wilderness?!
Those medical officers were afraid of death and did not dare to approach, so in the end, his illness worsened…
He was delirious from the fever. If not for the fact that he had been discovered in time the next morning and forced to drink medicine, he would have lost his life.
With this lesson, this young master became completely obedient.
However, being obedient did not stop him from complaining.
“Why doesn’t Madam Liu take my pulse?! If she doesn’t take my pulse, how can she give me the right prescription?!” Ever since Du Yuanruo could walk, he immediately staggered out of the tent to look for Lin Suisui. However, as soon as he came out, he was blocked by Lu Ze.
Of course, he was dissatisfied and shouted at Lu Ze angrily.
“My wife only treats people and doesn’t listen to dogs! Young Master, you’re a noble person and don’t think highly of my wife’s medical skills. Don’t let yourself suffer!”
Lu Ze looked coldly at Du Yuanruo, who looked much weaker than usual because of his high fever. He did not intend to let him harass Lin Suisui at all.
Getting Lin Suisui to take his pulse would really dirty his wife’s hands!
“What do you mean by that? What do you mean by only treating people? How dare you call me a dog?!” Du Yuanruo finally realized what was going on. He was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot. He panted heavily as he pointed at Lu Ze with trembling fingers. “Just you wait. I’ll kill you now… Ah…”
Before Du Yuanruo could finish speaking, he was pricked by Lu Ze’s finger and fell to the ground. He immediately screamed in pain!
