Chapter 23 Reasons
Speaking of this, Mrs. Gao turned to look at Lu Jinping: "You went back to test the stinky girl's vomiting stuff, and I started to be nervous. If you don't prescribe the prescription, you have to deliver the medicine yourself. At the same time, everyone in the family is not allowed to give the stinky girl anything, and you can only eat what you give. No doctor will do this, so I suspect that you may already know that someone has poisoned it. Since this is the case, I must speed up the progress. It just so happened that the old man was very disgusted by the person who sold his property and wanted to become an official and did not let you treat the stinky girl. I was relieved after I learned that you were the one who sold his property and wanted to become an official. But I was worried that one day the stinky girl would not help but treat the stinky girl, so I increased the dose and wanted to poison her as soon as possible."
Mrs. Gao stared at Miss Gao with resentment, and then said, "It's a pity that the old man suddenly asked to go to your mansion to plead, so I can only follow him. Then he immediately asked to send the lady to your mansion, and I wouldn't have the chance to poison her to death. I guess that although you have discovered that the stinky girl was poisoned, you didn't say it before, because you wanted to use this matter to ask the old man to recommend you to be an official. This time I heard that the stinky master recommended you to be a doctor of medicine, and you will definitely tell the old man Gao about this matter. The yamen will start investigating this matter soon. I was worried that I would be found out and lost the opportunity to kill this stinky girl in the end, so I decided to poison her today, so even if I was caught, I would be satisfied. Anyway, after my child was gone, I wouldn't want to live anymore. Unfortunately, I couldn't poison this stinky girl...!"
Old Master Gao sighed: "You have violated the law of the king when you poison your daughter, and I cannot protect you." He turned to the senior manager and said, "Go and call Captain Bear from the Yamen..."
Mrs. Gao said, "Don't worry, I have something to say to the old man."
Miss Gao whispered: "Don't listen to her nonsense! Ask the people from the yamen to catch her and chop her head in front of thousands of people!"
"Shut up!" Old Master Gao shouted angrily, "Get out! Go back to the room!" Old Master Gao roared, pointed at Miss Gao, his eyes blew fire.
Miss Gao had never seen her father so angry. She cried in fear. She turned around and rushed out of the house. In a hurry, she tripped by the high threshold and fell heavily to the ground. Her legs were broken and she burst into tears. The third aunt hurried forward to support her and staggered away.
Mrs. Gao said to Lu Jinping: "Sir Lu, please go outside, too. I have something to say to the old master alone."
Lu Jinping nodded and turned around and walked out of the main room.
The senior manager finally left the main room and silently closed the door.
After a while, the door opened. Old Master Gao walked out with a desolate expression, his eyes were filled with tears, and he said, "Their master and servant have... gone to the underworld to accompany my unborn child..."
Lu Jinping looked up and saw two female corpses hanging on the beams in the room, floating slightly.
Lu Jinping sighed and bowed to Mr. Gao: "Goodbye!" He led his maid Ye Qingqing to walk out of the mansion.
The senior manager chased after him, holding a small cash box in his hand, and said, "Sir, this is your reward for solving the case. The master said thank you."
Lu Jinping did not stop, but Ye Qingqing took the money box over.
At this moment, a woman appeared in front of her, blocking their way, putting her hands on her hips, pointing at Lu Jinping, and sternly said: "My surname is Lu, stop, tell me clearly, why don't you want to marry into my Gao family? Why do you dislike me? What's the point of me? You are just a devastating lord. What's so great about it? Why don't you marry me? You said! You must give me a reason today!"
Lu Jinping stopped, looked at her coldly, and said word by word: "Because, if I marry you, I will poison you!"
Miss Gao shivered in fear and took two steps back.
Lu Jinping walked past her with his head raised. She turned around and looked at Lu Jinping's back. Her lips moved, but she couldn't say a word.

Lu Jinping has been working in Tongzhou Prefecture Medical Center for several days.
Mr. Gao greeted Governor Feng and said not to arrange lectures and practice medicine for Lu Jinping. Mr. Feng was a little surprised. He had been intimate with Mr. Gao for many years and was very familiar with him. He knew that Mr. Gao was honest and rarely recommended others to be officials unless he really appreciated the talent of this person. Lu Jinping was one of the few people that Mr. Gao rarely recommended. Since he received his recommendation, he must be really capable. However, he did not expect that Mr. Gao clearly recommended him to be a doctor of medicine, but asked Mr. Feng not to arrange any of the two main tasks of doctor of medicine for him. This made Mr. Feng really confused.
However, Governor Feng still respected the opinions of Mr. Gao and arranged a job to manage the medicinal materials warehouse for Lu Jinping. This kind of work is indeed a waste of talent and even a little underestimated by him. However, he is unwilling to do the job that doctors of the doctor really have to take on, so he can only arrange such errands that ordinary people can do.
The work of the medicinal materials warehouse is very easy, because the yamen's clinic only needs to use the medicinal materials hoarded by the court to treat the victims when a major plague occurs. In addition, the court also opened some institutions similar to the current nursing homes, which accommodate some homeless elderly people. The court is also responsible for treating these people, which requires some medicinal materials to be spent. Lu Jinping's main job is to collect medicinal materials from him when the medical officers of the yamen's clinics go to see these elderly people for medical treatment. This is not common. He is not responsible for the procurement of medicinal materials, so in general it is still very leisurely.
Because of his leisure, Lu Jinping had a lot of time to meet people from all walks of life. Of course, what attracted his attention was the judicial military signing room in charge of the criminal prison, and the constable class room.
These days, he spent most of his time making friends. Everyone in the yamen became familiar with him because they knew that he was the official whom Mr. Gao recommended him to be an official. Mr. Gao was very well-known in Tongzhou. At the same time, many people in Tongzhou knew that Lu Jinping, the destitute master, had once sold his property and bribed him to become an official. However, after he wasted less money, he was so angry that he vomited blood and died, and he was resurrected from the dead. This was very legendary.
He is an official and has the status of a lord. He is willing to pay a fortune, so people from the yamen naturally like to interact with him. After a while, they became familiar with him.
Although his doctoral doctor was the lowest-level official and was under the ninth rank, the salary of the Tang Dynasty was still very generous, so his salary was enough for him and Ye Qingqing to live a relatively prosperous life.
After the murder of Miss Gao by poisoning and murdering Miss Gao that day, they received a reward of 500 cents. With the salary, their lives began to improve. They could eat white rice, vegetables and meat.
However, after knowing that he became a small official in the yamen, Bald Zhang and others came to ask for debts every now and then. And they knew that Lu Jinping had become an official, of course they did not dare to use force. They just begged for a stern face and begged hard, which made Lu Jinping angry, and he didn't have much money to pay back the money. After all, the money he earned was enough to live, but it was far from enough to pay back a huge debt.
On the evening of that day, Lu Jinping came back from the yamen. Lu Jinping saw a few people sitting on the steps of his old house from afar. He didn't need to look at it and knew that it must be Bald Head and Zhang and the others. The trick of these people is to block the door. When they see him in and out, they come forward and beg him to pay off his debts. Lu Jinping is afraid of seeing them.
He once hid until dark before going back, but after he returned, he still found that the people were still squatting at the door and not leaving. So he couldn't escape if he wanted to hide, so he could only bite the bullet and talk to them.
Seeing Lu Jinping coming over, Bald Zhang and others came up quickly, looking pitiful, nodded and said, "Sir, have you been scattered? We have been waiting for you here for a long time. You have received your salary, and we don't ask you to repay all of them all at once. Can you repay us some interest first? The family is really unable to get rid of the blame. The old and young are just counting on the money to live! You should pity us."
