Chapter 255: Drugged
After Shu Yu finished instructing ng Yunzheng, she took the dicine bottle from Zhao Xi and left.
Upon leaving the ng residence, she did not go back. Instead, she turned around and walked out of Liufang Alley.
The afternoon before, Shu Yu had accompanied the old lady around half of the county town to collect rags, so she naturally managed to pick up news here and there.
For example, the injured Jiang Li was soon discovered and carried back to the Jiang residence. The incident had happened outside, so news of it had already spread like wildfire.
Furthermore, the Jiang family had already reported to the authorities and were doing their best to search for the culprit. For that reason, they also offered remuneration for providing clues about the murderer.
To be honest, Shu Yu was tempted by the reward and almost turned herself in.
Another piece of news was that the doctor who treated Jiang Li’s injuries was a doctor from the clinic she had brought Daya to.
That clinic was the best in the entire county, and the consultation fee was also the most expensive.
The day before, the doctor made a house visit to treat Jiang Li. Today, he would naturally go for a follow-up visit.
Shu Yu went to look for him.
The door of the clinic was already open, and many patients ca early in the morning.
Shu Yu was not there to see a doctor. but she used the excuse of getting dicine to get in. She took out the prescription prescribed by Doctor Hu, who had treated Daya, so the pharmacist quickly led her in.
There were many people who wanted to get dicine, but there were more who wanted to see a doctor, so Shu Yu had to wait for just a while.
While waiting, Shu Yu began to look for Doctor Liu, who was treating Jiang Li, and waited for the right ti to act.
Shu Yu leaned against the counter. Not long after, she heard soone calling Doctor Liu.
Doctor Liu hurriedly ca out and instructed the pharmacist, “Have you finished preparing the dicine I asked for? Hurry up, I still have to go to the Jiang residence.”
The pharmacist behind the counter hurriedly replied, “It’ll be ready soon.”
Shu Yu chuckled. Her chance had co.
She moved closer and took advantage of the ti when the pharmacist went to the side to get a string for the dicine packet to slip in the powder.
Then, she saw the pharmacist hurriedly wrap up the dicinal herbs and secure them with string before handing them to Doctor Liu.
Doctor Liu placed the dicine packet into his dicine box, picked it up, and left after bidding farewell to the shopkeeper.
Shu Yu also took her requested dicine and followed behind Doctor Liu.
Doctor Liu went straight to the Jiang residence. After Shu Yu confird that the dicine was indeed for Jiang Li, she was slightly relieved.
Nevertheless, Shu Yu didn’t go ho even after that. Instead, she found a breakfast stall nearby and ordered a bowl of dumplings.
Shu Yu had left early in the morning before breakfast at ho was ready.
After working so hard for a while, she was very hungry.
As Shu Yu ate, she tilted her ears to listen to the discussions of the people beside her.
The matter of Jiang Li being beaten up had caused a huge ruckus. Everyone in the vicinity knew about it. After all, the third scion of the Jiang family had been lawless for so many years. Not to ntion being beaten, even those who scolded Jiang Li would suffer if he found them out.
Now, soone actually smashed Jiang Li in the head less than 300 ters away from the Jiang residence. That person was really… a true hero for the civilians.
anwhile, the Jiang family was clueless about the culprit’s identity.
Shu Yu ate the dumplings while listening to everyone’s praise.
Jiang Li had indeed been evil for many years and offended many. More than half of the civilians around were gloating over Jiang Li’s misfortune.
After finishing a bowl of dumplings, Shu Yu saw ng Yunzheng walking over from afar.
ng Yunzheng didn’t have anything on him, but he looked very refreshed.
There wasn’t a trace of the bamboo and the note Shu Yu gave him..
