The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 400: The Magistrate’s Showmanship
Doctor Ye also brought the patients lining up over there.
The area along the city gate was filled with people sitting on the ground, and there were even some people heading towards the rampart.
At that moment, a loud gong sounded, and the government officials craned their necks, "Lord Prefect has arrived."
Yun Jiao, having just cooled off a bit, had to stand up again and, along with the other doctors, welcome Lord Prefect.
All the common folk who came for treatments were kneeling down.
Lord Prefect was exceptionally genial, first asking the common folk to stand before exchanging pleasantries with the doctors.
"The doctors have worked hard; the weather is hot, yet you tirelessly come here for free consultations. I’m quite moved and have personally funded some food and drinks at the Bao Feng Building for you all to enjoy."
Everyone thanked Lord Prefect.
The pharmacy servants accompanying each doctor went to the carriage to collect the food boxes.
Prefect Xu purposely strolled over to Yun Jiao, first greeting Lin Shuo before smilingly saying, "A few days ago, I sent someone to visit the Zhang family. Old Master Zhang can now stand and walk."
"It’s said his daily meals are normal too; it seems he’s getting through this ordeal."
"Doctor Gu is truly a miracle worker!"
Yun Jiao smiled and nodded, "Oh no, it is Lord Prefect’s care for the citizens, promoting filial piety, that brings such longevity among elders under your rule."
Prefect Xu laughed heartily and chatted lightly before leaving.
Ah Tie and Shen Qing each brought a large food box over, also moving tables and chairs into the city gate for everyone to eat.
Though the city gate was not too wide, it stretched over ten meters long, and passing through the gate, there was a rampart ahead, with another gate in front of it where many people were resting.
Yun Jiao hurriedly finished her meal, got up and took a walk, finding Yu Jiajie, "I see the rampart is cooler, with high walls. When the sun shifts a bit, there will be no direct sunlight. Why not move the tables and chairs over there?"
Yu Jiajie thought about it and nodded, "This time I didn’t consider thoroughly; I’ll go in to check the location first and will have people move the tables and chairs in a moment."
Yun Jiao couldn’t help but murmur, "Why choose such a hot season for free consultations?"
Yu Jiajie replied embarrassedly, "The free consultations are held twice a year, once in spring-summer and once in winter."
"Normally, the consultations are in April and May when the weather isn’t hot, but this year, due to some delays, it got pushed to June."
Yun Jiao breathed a sigh of relief; with such hot weather, she truly did not wish to do another consultation in the sun.
In the afternoon, the tables and chairs were moved into the rampart, and Yun Jiao’s were right by the gate, much cooler. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Just as the tables and chairs were set up, a commotion echoed from afar, drawing nearer.
Yun Jiao looked over and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a silk shirt, half-open and barefooted. His two servants held him by each arm, dragging and pulling him towards this direction.
This man’s eyes were glazed, appearing delirious, struggling while shouting, "Let me go; I will kill you all! You filthy scoundrels dare touch me!"
Following them was a woman dressed in silk clothing, with a maid beside her.
The woman scanned the place, hastily running towards Yun Jiao, "Doctor Gu, we need medical assistance."
Yun Jiao furrowed her brow slightly; this free consultation was meant to offer some help to poor commoners. Why were people dressed in silk joining in?
Lin Shuo stepped forward, coldly saying, "Go line up at the back."
