Fifty-one: Dr. Qin Meets with Disaster

  At this time, "General Zhang He" was forced to the edge of the pot, with no way to retreat. The deep red pincers of "Weiyang Wei Yan" were clamping down again ferociously. Just at that moment, "General Zhang He" suddenly burst forth with divine power, borrowing his opponent's momentum and using it against him. With a fierce swing to the left, he clamped down on "Weiyang Wei Yan"'s pincers, slamming him hard onto the ground. The four teeth had not yet loosened when "General Zhang He" used his head to press his opponent firmly into the bottom of the pot.

  "Yiyang Wei Yan" body was a bit twisted, six legs kicked wildly, struggled for half a minute without breaking free, instead biting tightly, was overturned by "Famous General Zhang He", belly gasping for air, whiskers pointing to the sky.

  Another ten-second stalemate, "General Zhang He" relaxed his jaws, and "Wei Yan of Yiyang" finally turned over, hastily retreating.

  Zhou Xuan suppressed his excitement, knowing that "Yiyang Wei Yan" still had fighting power and couldn't get too excited too early. He immediately used the mouse whiskers soaked in Chinese medicine to tap a few times on the big teeth of "Famous General Zhang He", which could both relieve pain and invigorate the spirit.

  That slender scholar also descended upon the grasshopper, his technique clever and even surpassing Zhou Xuan. "Yiyang Wei Yan" was once again stirred up, its fighting spirit rising again. With a "buzz buzz" it rubbed its wings together, slowly approaching "Famous General Zhang He". Suddenly, "Famous General Zhang He" made a swift pounce, instantly flipping "Yiyang Wei Yan" over.

  "Wei Yan of Yiyang" was very agile, and immediately turned over, but never dared to respond again, turning around and running away. No matter how the thin scholar teased it, its big teeth were tightly closed, and it didn't dare to open its mouth to fight again.

  The copper bell rang with a "ding" sound, and Mr. Feng announced that "Famous General Zhang He" had won.

  Lin Han Yun was so excited that she jumped up and down, waving her fists wildly, as if she wanted to hit someone to express her joy.

  Xiao Di was calling out "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law", while Xiao Huixiang was shouting "Uncle, uncle". Zhēn Zhēn's eyes sparkled with laughter as she gazed at Zhou Xuan in the arena, thinking to herself: "He loves to gamble and always wins, but can he win this match against Lu An? Do I hope he wins?"

  Zhou Xuan put the insect back in the jar and then held up the jar, bowing to the onlookers. Everyone applauded him with their fists clenched in congratulations.

  The slender scholar slowly put away the insect and said clearly to Zhou Xuan: "I underestimated you."

  "Now it's not too late to take it seriously, there's still one more game tomorrow."

  Qing Xiao Wenshi gazed at Zhou Xuan's eyes: "You seem to be very confident, just relying on that yellow-backed 'Little General Zhang Fei'?"

  Zhou Xuan smiled but didn't speak, thinking to himself: "Weren't you very carefree yesterday? You won and then threw out a sentence before leaving with a flourish. Heh heh, why are you so chatty today?"

  The thin and weak scholar let out a "hmmph" and said: "Don't think about playing tricks on me, or else I'll overturn your shop."

  "Is this the demeanor of a cool and arrogant insect fighter? Winning makes you look noble, but losing reveals your true face?"

  "You!" The thin and weak scholar glared at Zhou Xuan with hatred, then turned and left.

  Zhou Xuan stared at the slender scholar's back, dazed and unsure why he felt a strange sensation from this person, but couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

  Lin Han rushed over, picked up the clay pot and said with a lively expression: "How about it? My Green-backed General is still the most powerful, rising to the occasion in times of crisis, no, baring his teeth..."

  Zhou Xuan didn't forget to flatter himself, saying: "This is still not my good training, if it were your three-legged cat's bug art, I'm afraid we would have been swept out the door by now."

  Lin Han stretched out her hand and twisted it, Zhou Xuan was in a good mood, so she let her twist it for a few times.

  Onlookers have experience, yesterday Zhou Xuan lost and wanted to invite everyone to drink, today he won and must be drunk, so everyone stayed and waited for Zhou Xuan to treat them.

  "A loud voice suddenly shouted from outside the door: 'Young master, young master, something big has happened! The old master has been dismissed and taken away!'"

  It was Jia Ding who came in, all sweaty and looking around for Zhou Xuan.

  There were many people and voices, Zhou Xuan didn't hear clearly for a moment, and went forward to ask: "What's that, Lai Fu? What are you shouting about?"

  Lai Fu cried with a sorrowful face: "Young master, something terrible has happened at the Qin estate! The old master has been taken away by the county yamen!"

  Zhou Xuan was shocked and asked: "What crime?"

  Lai Fu said: "Wu Gong Cao personally led people to capture her, saying it was a capital offense, and the young lady has already been taken to the prefectural government office."

  Xiao Di burst into tears upon hearing this, and Xiao Huixiang also cried. Zhen Shen was so shocked that her face turned pale.

  Those who were waiting for Zhou Xuan to treat them heard that Dr. Qin had gotten into trouble, some of the more mature ones left, but most stayed to watch the excitement.

  Zhou Xuan didn't understand where the trouble with Dr. Qin came from, and he was anxious in his heart. He clasped his fists and said: "Everyone, Zhou Xuan has been rude today, I must return to the Qin residence immediately. I believe this is definitely a misunderstanding, Dr. Qin is innocent."

  The onlookers murmured: "Yes, innocent, innocent." Only then did they disperse.

  Zhou Xuan hugged Shang Xiao Di, and together with Yinniao and Xiao Huixiang, they prepared to rush back to the Qin Manor immediately.

  Lin Han Yun shouted: "Hey, what's your hurry? Can't you just wait for Hei Shan's nephew to go to the prefecture yamen and ask?"

  Zhou Xuan slapped his forehead, how could he forget Miss Lin, and quickly said with a smile: "Right, right, I was in a hurry, Miss Lin, let's go back to the city together. You help me find Shan Ge, this matter can't be delayed. It's possible that Wu Gong Cao deliberately framed me because I won 3,000 taels of silver from his son and vented his anger on my father-in-law. My father-in-law is over 50 years old and can't withstand those guys' harassment."

  Lin Han had been raised in a sheltered environment since childhood and was not aware of the hardships of the world. She didn't think that Dr. Qin's arrest was a big deal, she only cared about tomorrow's insect fight and asked: "What about tomorrow's third round of the final battle?"

  Zhou Xuan furrowed his brow and said: "I don't dare to confirm whether this thin scholar is the one invited by Wu Gong Cao's father and son, but now I can no longer care about that. My father-in-law's matter is urgent. Let 'Zhang Bao' be fed by Xiaosan first - Xiaosan, remember not to feed 'Zhang Bao' food. From now on, every six hours, feed it half a crushed small honey pill. Also, at midnight, put the female insect with flower spots on its back into 'Zhang Bao's' jar and let them mate. Tomorrow morning, take away the female insect as soon as it gets light. Remember?"

  Tang Xiaosan nodded heavily: "Remembered."

  Zhou Xuan and Lin Hanyun parted ways at the North Gate, Lin Hanyun promised to go find Lin Heishan immediately. Zhou Xuan rushed back to the Qin Manor, where he saw Madame Qin crying, while Lu An was pacing back and forth beside her, rubbing his hands and sighing.

  "Madam Yue, what exactly happened?"

  Madam Qin saw Zhou Xuan as if she had seen a lifesaver, grasped Zhou Xuan's hand and trembled with fear, saying: "The old woman doesn't know what happened, the old man was taken away from the provincial medical office, the coachman came back to report the news, the sparrow has already gone to the provincial government to inquire about the news, the old woman asked Lai Fu to hurry and find you back, son-in-law quickly think of a way, go find your sworn brother Lin to speak up for us at the provincial government."

  Zhou Xuan comforted Madame Qin a few words, glanced at Lu An who was rubbing his hands anxiously, and asked: "Little Lu, how can you let Miss Qin go out to gather information alone? Won't you go?"

  Lu An hastily said: "I'm not inconvenient to show up, if people find out that you and Que'er are in a fake marriage, it will add another major crime."

  Zhou Xuan's heart skipped a beat. Dr. Qin was an honest and kind-hearted elder, he shouldn't have committed any crimes. So where did his guilt come from? Could it be that the fake marriage had been exposed?
