Two days later, a major incident occurred at Shengjing Medical Practice.
Envoy Cui Min of the Hanlin Medical Institute had been accused of framing colleagues and stealing medical prescriptions.
The entire Cui household was imprisoned overnight, along with Cui Min's most trusted subordinate, Cao Huai, who also fell into great misfortune.
When this news spread throughout Shengjing, officials and commoners alike were astonished.
The affairs of the Imperial City were not well known to the common folk of West Street, but they had heard of Envoy Cui, who, as a commoner, had entered the Hanlin Medical Institute and compiled "Cui's Medical Theories" to benefit all medical workers and the people. Now, he was suddenly exposed as a scoundrel with a beastly heart—
"'Cui's Medical Theories' were not even written by him, but by his colleague. That man has no shame, stealing others' credit and causing them to be thrown into prison! What a disgrace, less than a beast!"
