Chapter 705: Shao Qingyuan Says More

Editor: Henyee Translations

Ah Zhu sighed and said coldly, “I’m laughing at how you’re being played by others. They don’t charge consultation fees, but you have to pay for medicine fees. These medicinal herbs aren’t cheap at all. Moreover, I heard that all the villagers Doctor Liu treated are sick without exception. This is really too coincidental. Everyone who looks for him has to spend money to buy medicine. Is there a difference between this and paying consultation fees?”

The villagers were stunned when they heard that. Village Chief Jiao, who had been silent, suddenly looked at Doctor Liu.

Yes, it was said to be a free consultation, but why was it so coincidental that everyone was more or less sick and in pain?

Doctor Liu was a little flustered at that moment. He glared fiercely at Ah Zhu and explained, “The villagers came to see a doctor naturally because they felt uncomfortable. It’s normal for them to be sick and in pain. I accepted the money for the medicinal herbs, but the price was not high. It’s much cheaper than the herbs in the medicine shop in the prefecture capital. If you don’t believe me, feel free to go to the shop and ask for the price of the medicinal herbs. You will naturally know if I’m being kind or black-hearted.”

Everyone was a little hesitant by his self-righteous appearance.

Both of them seemed to have a point.

Shao Qingyuan couldn’t be bothered to listen to his excuses anymore. Whether Doctor Liu was lying and scamming money here or the villagers didn’t believe him, it had nothing to do with him.

He had no obligation to prove his point to these fence-sitters.

He had only come to buy Bai Muzi. Since he had confirmed that it was not the case, he planned to leave.

However, just as Shao Qingyuan stood up, the village chief of the Jiao Village stood up and said, “Young Master Shao, please wait.”

He walked up to Shao Qingyuan and looked at him sincerely. “Can you make yourself clear?”

Shao Qingyuan looked at him. This village chief was not a bad person. Seeing that he had received a lot of care from the village chief yesterday, he still said a few more words.

“The Bai Muzi I’m buying has silver roots and purple branches and leaves. It’s about six inches long and has five leaves. It’s an extremely rare herb. But Doctor Liu’s Bai Muzi has white roots with a few thin patterns. Although it also has five leaves, their colors are dim. Also, he claimed that he sold two stalks a couple of days ago, which is ridiculous. If Bai Muzi were so easy to find, it’s price wouldn’t have been so high and I wouldn’t have to spend so much time searching for it.”

When everyone heard this, they could not help but look at the box containing the herbs. Doctor Liu’s face turned pale as he hugged the box tighter.

Shao Qingyuan continued, “If I’m not mistaken, the medicinal ingredient in Doctor Liu’s box is called Purple Summer Leaves. It’s indeed a medicinal ingredient that’s very similar to Bai Muzi. This medicinal ingredient is also rare, but it’s much more ordinary than Bai Muzi. The price is also worlds apart. As for its medicinal properties, it’s neither good nor bad, right? It can be eaten as a tonic, but it’s useless for treating illnesses.”

Doctor Liu’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Shao Qingyuan sneered and glanced at the herb basket beside him. “Also, the herbs he picked on the mountain today are all weeds with little medicinal effect. If you don’t believe me, take the herbs in his herb basket to the doctor in town to take a look.”

When everyone heard this, they instantly stared at Doctor Liu’s medicine basket with burning eyes.

Jiao Laosan received his father’s gaze and immediately took a step forward to get the medicine basket.
