They tried their best to ask the officials to compensate them.
However, the officials were also troubled by this matter. Furthermore, the officials were not without temper. There was no repayment for free medical treatment for the commoners. The Kind Doctor did evil himself. How could they ask the officials to compensate?!
The officials flatly refused to compensate the families but were willing to mobilize a carriage to help the families transport the dead bodies back.
Among the dead commoners, most of them were poor farmers. Not to mention that their houses were far from the city, but the dirt road outside the city was also rugged. It saved them a lot of effort that the officials could transport the bodies back.
The family members could not forcefully suppress the government, so they could only return.
The matter of the victims had been resolved. However, in Yuan City, the storm caused by this matter had not calmed down yet. The reputation of the Kind Doctor instantly fell from the peak to the bottom. In the past, Yuan City praised the Kind Doctor. Now, the commoners scolded the Kind Doctor that he was a devil, taking human lives.
It was as if his consultations in the past did not count.
However, Kind Doctor had indeed committed a sin. More than ten people had died. In fact, his original intention was to drag all the people who came to collect the medicine that night to die together and ease the pain in his heart.
The surging comments were like huge waves. The local citizens of Yuan City scolded the Kind Doctor mercilessly. The more they scolded, the more vicious they became. It was to the extent of whipping the Kind Doctor’s corpse.
When Ye Lulu heard the news in the shop, she was stunned for a moment before saying to Guan Chibei, “Find a way to spread the news about the Kind Doctor. I mean about his wife and his family.”
It was not that Ye Lulu pitied the Kind Doctor.
Instead, it was true that the Kind Doctor had done something evil. However, it was also true that his wife was horrible. The Kind Doctor should not take full responsibility alone. Ye Lulu wanted everyone to know the full picture.
They could scold the Kind Doctor, but they should not miss out on a devil like Madam Miao.
Moreover, Ye Lulu had a kind heart, and had another consideration. If the Kind Doctor was completely condemned and this implicated his family, the two children left in this world would be too pitiful.
Ye Lulu had already heard people cursing excitedly in the shop today. They said that it was no wonder that the Kind Doctor’s wife was killed on the spot. For an evil ghost like the Kind Doctor, his children were not worthy to live in this world. Perhaps they were also the reincarnation of evil spirits and should be burned to death so that the people could take revenge for the dead and prevent the Kind Doctor’s children from doing evil in the future.
When Ye Lulu heard this, she paused for a few seconds and chased the customer out.
As for the reason, she faced the group of customers who had been silent for a moment and said, “Their parents are already gone, so there’s no need for anyone to burn them to death. Seven or eight-year-old children might not be able to survive on their own now. It’s reasonable for everyone to condemn the Kind Doctor, but if you say that you want to burn unrelated seven or eight-year-old children to death, forgive me for being rude. In my ears, this is no different from the Kind Doctor who wants to poison someone to death. I’m timid and I’ll be afraid if this guest eats in my shop. Please excuse me.”
At that time, the hall was silent. When the customer realized that he had been told off by Ye Lulu, he was so angry that his veins popped out. He was so angry that he wanted to hit Ye Lulu and condemn her for her words.
However, Guan Chibei immediately stood behind Ye Lulu. There were also the brothers from the Guan family. The Guan family did not know the reason, but they trusted Ye Lulu unconditionally. That man was a foreign merchant. When he saw that he could not gain an advantage, he did not dare to attack Ye Lulu and left cursing.
