Chapter 138 The Divine Doctor 41
There were five people brought out by Nanxing, all of them were octogenarians with white hair.
Some of them were using crutches or were supported by younger people.
When Fu Bai saw them coming out, he bowed to them respectfully.
"Thank you for your help, elders."
The old man in the lead also bowed to Fu Bai and said, "You are too polite, Princess."
After saying this, he walked forward, supported by his grandson, his white beard fluttering slightly in the breeze.
"I am the patriarch of the Chen family in Luozhou." The old man spoke. Although he was old, his voice was full of energy.
"Perhaps you don't know the Luozhou Chen family, but you must have heard of the Jingzhou Chen family of the previous dynasty. We are a branch of the Jingzhou Chen family."
Jingzhou Chen family!
The common people present may not know what Jingzhou Chen family represents, but there are also many scholars in the crowd. After hearing the four words Jingzhou Chen family, they were in awe.
Seeing that the people around them were all confused, the scholars respectfully explained to the people what the Jingzhou Chen family was.
The Chen family of Jingzhou was a family of famous doctors in the previous dynasty. There were many famous doctors in the family, and they all cared about the world.
Doctors from the Chen family in Jingzhou had to go out for training after they became adults, and could only return to Jingzhou after treating thousands of people. They had superb medical skills and often conducted free clinics in various places, saving countless people.
At the end of the previous dynasty, wars were frequent.
The Chen family of Jingzhou refused the amnesty from the rebel king and thus offended the rebel king.
The patriarch of the Chen clan at that time knew that he could not fight against the rebel king, so he took advantage of the chaos to divide the family and let the members of the Chen clan hide in various places and start a new life under an assumed name.
The outside world simply thought that the Chen family of Jingzhou had offended the rebel king and was massacred by him.
The patriarch of the Luozhou Chen family revealed the secret of that year.
He said: "My Chen clan members separated and started new lives all over the country. My Luozhou Chen clan was in charge of the Chen clan's genealogy at that time."
As he spoke he glanced at Nanxing, who then came forward holding several large family tree volumes.
The head of the Luozhou Chen family continued, "According to the family tree, the branch that the princess belongs to is the main branch of our Jingzhou Chen family. When they split up, they took away the Chen family's medical canon."
The old patriarch sneered, his eyes cloudy but sharp, "Dr. Chu, is this medical book the hard work of your Chu family?"
Chu Yimeng felt her scalp tingling when the old patriarch looked at her, and she couldn't help but hide in Li Jun's arms.
The old patriarch snorted and retired after accomplishing his mission.
Another old man stood up. He was not from the Chen family, but his grandfather and father had been servants of the Chu family's ancestors.
In his mouth, there is the complete truth.
At the beginning, Chen Qiwen was not the apprentice of the Chu family ancestor, but the son of a good friend of the Chu family ancestor.
Both families are medical families, and they communicate with each other and have a very good relationship.
One day, Chen Qiwen's parents had to leave home temporarily, so they entrusted their five-year-old son to the care of their good friend Chu's ancestor.
Half a month later, when his parents came back, they had been killed by bandits.
The huge Chen family business fell on Chen Qiwen's shoulders. It was at this time that the ancestor of the Chu family stepped forward and said that he was willing to adopt Chen Qiwen as his adopted son.
Adoption was just an external statement. In fact, the Chu family wanted to take this opportunity to embezzle the Chen family's property.
Chen Qiwen was only five years old at that time. What could he do?
He could only watch helplessly as his family property was swallowed up by the Chu family.
The Chu family did not want to let Chen Qiwen go, because he was already five years old and old enough to remember things, so the Chu family planned to wipe out the root of the problem.
They secretly put chronic poison in Chen Qiwen's daily diet, hoping to poison him little by little.
However, Chen Qiwen was precocious and gifted since childhood. Not only did he secretly hide his family's medical books, he also secretly studied medicine. He had long been aware of the Chu family's murderous intentions towards him.
On the surface, he pretended to be stupid and kept in good terms with the Chu family, but in fact, he practiced medicine and saved money secretly.
When Chen Qiwen was sixteen years old, he left the Chen family.
When Chen Qiwen left, the ancestor of the Chu family had not yet died. Chen Qiwen left him a note, which read: I already know the truth of that year, and one day I will come back to take back everything that belongs to my Chen family.
Whether out of guilt or for other reasons, the ancestor of the Chu family became so angry when he saw the note left by Chen Qiwen that he fainted. After waking up, his health deteriorated and he passed away not long after.
Soon after, Chen Qiwen's name became famous in the medical field and he met many talented people.
His son Chen Cangshu was even better than his teacher and actually saved the late emperor who was on a secret tour.
The late emperor invited the Chen family to the capital and let Chen Cangshu work in the Imperial Medical Service.
When the news reached the Chu family, Chu Yimeng's grandfather began to worry every day about the Chen family's revenge on them, and he passed away not long after.
Chu Yimeng's father was an uneducated man who spent his days doing chicken and dog fighting. One day, he offended someone he shouldn't have offended and was beaten to death.

When the old man said this, some people in the crowd did not understand.
"The Chu family just embezzled the Chen family's property. Why would they worry about Chen Qiwen, the doctor, taking revenge on them?"
It's just embezzlement of money, why not just return the money to Chen Qiwen?
The old man took out a stack of yellowed letters and said in a trembling voice, "This is the correspondence between the ancestor of the Chu family and the bandits that my grandfather left me. It was the Chu family who bribed the bandits to take the lives of Doctor Chen Qiwen's parents."
"Dr. Chen Qiwen once saved my grandfather's life, so my grandfather left these evidences, hoping to hand them over to Dr. Chen Qiwen one day."
The old man choked up and continued, "Unfortunately, he died before he could see Doctor Chen Qiwen."
The old man handed the yellowed letter to Fu Bai and said, "Now I am handing these evidences over to the descendants of Doctor Chen Qiwen, which can be regarded as fulfilling my grandfather's last wish."
Fu Bai took it with both hands and expressed his gratitude to the old man.
The truth is now revealed.
The truth was not at all what the Chu family said. Chen Qiwen did not betray his teacher or ancestors. He and his descendants did not even seek revenge on the Chu family. The Chu family died in constant fear.
"Good! It really is tit for tat!"
"This Chu family is so vicious. They clearly killed people to seize the family property, but they turned the tables and framed the Chen family for betraying their teacher and destroying their ancestors! Every one of the Chu family deserves to die!"
The evidence presented by the witnesses is complete and can withstand scrutiny.
"Master Yuan, you can take these evidences back and look through them one by one. Please restore the innocence of our Chen family and seek justice for our ancestors."
Yuan Kunlin bowed his hands and solemnly assured: "Please rest assured, Princess, I will do my duty!"
Then he frowned and waved his hand: "Take Chu back to the government office."
Seeing Chu Yimeng still struggling, Yuan Kunlin said angrily: "Chu Yimeng, you are the one who deceived the emperor and attempted to murder the royal family. Come back to the prison of the Ministry of Justice with me and reflect on your mistakes!"
Without allowing any further argument, he said, "Take it away!"
Fu Bai reminded leisurely: "Is Chu Yimeng alone?"
Yuan Kunlin paused, took a deep breath and said, "Take the commoner Li Jun away with him!"
