Chapter 14 Unexplained Black Technology
Yan Zhi couldn't help but admire this Master Li, such an embarrassing scene, he could be like a nobody, hehe twice, even if it was revealed.
"What a coincidence, Master Li went out in a hurry to do something?" Wei Huan also pretended to be stupid.
"Alas, it's okay, the officials have already been in a mess, who cares what I'm doing. Master Li waved his hand and laughed,
"Hahaha...... Madame is angry at this moment, I'll go up to the river and watch people play chess for a while......"
"It's not that I came to you on a special trip, there were some things on the night of the crime, I want to ask Mrs. Zun......" Su Huan was naturally polite at all times.
But Li Gaoli was afraid that he had read a hint of interrogation in his and Wei Huan's eyes, after all, he had dealt with the Criminal Department a lot, and his face changed:
"You ...... You guys...... She's cowardly, she's locked up with a corpse for the night, and she's not frightened, no, no, no......"
Li Gaoli stared at Su Huan, and was so frightened that he waved his hand back again and again, with a posture of not letting them enter the door.
"Master Li, is your wife the one who runs a medicine shop?" Yan Zhi saw that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly changed the topic.
"Hmm, she used to be a doctor, and now she also treats some minor diseases for women's families, treats teeth, and is famous in the capital. Li Gaoli didn't know why, and said with a grin:
"My back molars are rotten, and she fixed them for me. Let me tell you, you are young, you don't know, you still have to marry a capable wife. This woman, no matter how gentle she was when she first met, she was a yaksha after a long time...... The yaksha that can cure teeth, you can at least eat it openly, and you won't delay things......"
"I'm a little impatient, and that's for me. I can swear for her that she never had the courage to do so. ”
"Poisoning has nothing to do with guts...... Besides, this woman has studied medicine, and it is really hard to say whether she has the courage or not......"
Wei Huan muttered, and secretly squinted at Pei Nanxing, who was standing aside. The girl stood aside, in a daze, completely unaware of Wei Huan teasing her.
Yan Zhi didn't have any opinion on Pei Nanxing coming along, she stared at Pei Nanxing's little face, thinking that she must use her strength on Xie Tou'er's side to bring this girl in for a long time, which is the best.
Not to mention that this girl is a good doctor, just to say that there is only Yan Zhi in the criminal department, a female catcher, everyone looks at her like a monkey who pays tribute to Fanbang, and she doesn't forget to comment on anything before doing anything, as if she is annoyed by something. In this regard, the friendship of the revolutionary women's army must also be vigorously developed.
"Ah," Pei Nanxing exclaimed, interrupting Yan Zhi's thoughts: "Your wife, it won't be Aunt Yang, right?"
Li Gaoli was happy, he didn't expect that there were still acquaintances in the Criminal Department, and he couldn't see those small eyes, his eyes turned up and down Pei Nanxing a few times, although he didn't know what the relationship between this girl and the Criminal Department was, "Little girl, if you don't give me a word, how can you Aunt Yang be this kind of person." ”
"No, they are here to check the medicine, a bunch of people came out of nowhere, and turned my house into a mess, if it weren't for my father looking at Sister Yan's face, he would have kicked Brother Wei and them out. ”
When Yan Zhi heard this, she glanced at Wei Huan meaningfully, "You don't seem to be very popular because of your appearance." ”
"It's not as popular as you, isn't it?" Wei Huan glared back without any emotion, and after a while, he turned to Pei Nanxing angrily, "Xiao Nanxing! I'll teach you the first lesson of catching fast now—you are not allowed to tell the truth in the future!"
"I didn't expect someone from the Criminal Department to come, which made a few people laugh......"
While talking, Mrs. Li put on a hand towel, took down the small copper kettle for boiling water from the stove, poured water into the tea bowl, and waited for a while but discarded the tea soup, poured water for the second time, and slowly brewed it along the wall of the bowl and distributed it to everyone.
Mrs. Li's tea-making skills are not graceful, but there is a kind of demeanor and bearing that a woman in the inner court has in her speech and demeanor, which makes Yan Zhi wonder if the Hedong lion in the alley just now is a hallucination of herself.
Besides, after everyone explained their intentions just now, Mrs. Li didn't frown, so she quickly took out the key and sent Li Gaoli to lead Su Huan and Wei Huan to the warehouse to check the number of "Wupu". At this moment, the only people who can sit here and drink tea leisurely are Yan Zhi and Pei Nanxing.
However, at this time, how could Yan Zhi be in the mood to taste tea, even if it was made with elixir and jade liquid, she couldn't keep her mouth shut about the case:
"Hey...... Aunt Yang, do you know that when you came out of the prison of the Criminal Department, the sky has been turned upside down, this case is not solved, I can still sit here and drink tea with you today, and I will have no food tomorrow......"
Mrs. Li is not related to the Pei family, but there are only a few famous doctors in the capital. Pei Jingran has an incurable disease, and when he catches it, he calls him a brother, and he runs diligently to his fellow people in the rivers and lakes.
Pei Nanxing followed and called Aunt Yang to call her father's old friend, and Yan Zhi also screamed indiscriminately, purely because she was thick-skinned.
When Mrs. Li heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched unnaturally, and she put down the teacup and said, "I heard about it, and this thing is too strange." ”
"Oh yes, Master Li said naturally...... Master Li, is the most direct witness to this strange case, by the way, last night, the jailer on duty that night was also poisoned, you didn't encounter anything unusual here, right?"
Of course, Yan Zhi wanted to test Mrs. Li's reaction, but she really cared a little about it, this murderer, as if he wanted to kill all the people who had something to do with the prison that night, would he let go of the Li family, a fish that slipped through the net?
"No......" Mrs. Li was slightly surprised, her thin eyebrows frowned, and she didn't seem to know anything, "I went to the city for a clinic last night, and my clumsy husband couldn't put his mind at ease, so I went with him, and it was quite quiet all the way." ”
"...... of your office hours?"
Mrs. Li pondered for a moment, "The carriage came just after the unitary hour (seven o'clock in the evening), and when it arrived at the Zhuangzi, it was half an hour later." I extracted a tooth for the patient, and I was busy for a while, and the time to come back was past the hour. (11pm)"
Yan Zhi was thinking about the time to go out of the city, Sun Yi's house was close to the south of the city to Jimen, and from Li Gaoli's house to the city, he took the Xuanwu Gate in the north of the city, I don't know where the patient's family lives, but in the middle of the night, he sent someone to ask a famous doctor from the city, just to extract a tooth, this patient is afraid that the origin is not small.
"I wonder where this patient is?"
"The western suburbs of Shanglin Garden. ”
"Isn't that Huangzhuang?" Yan Zhi showed an embarrassed but polite smile, and a dirty word popped up in her heart.
It's another aunt who can't afford to be offended.
"The person who came is someone from the eldest princess's mansion......"
"The eldest princess pulled her teeth?"
The corners of Yan Zhi's mouth grinned, thinking of this iceberg beauty with a noble bearing, and when she rolled around with a toothache, she couldn't help but be happy. If it weren't for the fact that the investigation was important, she would have started gossiping.
"No, it's the nurse of the eldest princess. ”
"Okay......"
Yan Zhi blinked regretfully, "We'll find someone to check it, but how much does 'Wupu' use in your prescription?"
Mrs. Li shook her head and said:
"'Wupu' is also something that only existed a few years ago, and it is generally purchased by local dignitaries in the East China Sea for the palace, and in recent years, it has been said that it can also be obtained in Western Xinjiang, and the price has also dropped a little. But ordinary people, who can afford this, most of the toothache is endured, and those who can afford to pay for diagnosis and tooth extraction are only a minority......"
"What the hell is this thing, isn't it just a sticky plaster?"
While speaking, Wei Huan and his party entered the door, and he had been holding back this question since last night.
"Didn't Pei Jingran tell you?" Mrs. Li seemed to be surprised by Wei Huan's ignorance.
"When he saw that Yan Zhi didn't come, he wanted to drive me away immediately, how could he explain these ...... to me?"
"You didn't ask me......" Pei Nanxing pouted, looking aggrieved, "You can't blame my father, right?"
Mrs. Li looked at the two people arguing, her eyebrows bent, and she smiled slightly:
"Wupu is a paste obtained from drying the juice of poppy seeds, which is brown in color and slightly cold in medicinal properties. The effect is similar to that of the poppy, treating long-term diarrhea and cough, and pain in the heart and bones. It's just that the effect of the drug is much stronger, and the damage to the patient is much greater if it is misused, and chills, sweating, nausea, and lethargy are all possible. ”
"This thing is actually not good, it does not cure the disease, it just anesthetizes your feelings, and the effect is similar to that of wine. If I say this, you little brother understands, right?"
"Since it's useless, you still have so much?" Wei Huan still chased after him.
Mrs. Li smiled helplessly.
"Because tooth extraction hurts, in order to make you patients feel better. Not only poppy, but also mandala flowers, raw grass black, white aconite, jade branches..... Even Aracea is toxic, and it also has the effect of reducing swelling and relieving pain, calming and evacuating, as long as it is properly blended, it does not prevent them from becoming a good medicine for treating diseases and saving people. ”
"Taught. Wei Huan nodded again and again, it was rare to see him say so convincingly.
"However, for patients with a more severe toothache, none of this will work. ”
"It's not even useful to 'Wupu'?" This was unexpected by Yan Zhi.
Mrs. Li shook her head and pointed at Li Gaoli, "He has tried, and it still hurts." ”
"But isn't it, a toothache is not a disease, it hurts to kill people......"
Li Gaoli interjected while covering his cheeks, obviously having palpitations.
Mrs. Li squinted at him and slashed at him, "You still know that it hurts, those teeth are rotten like that, you know how to eat!"
"However, recently I found a strange medicine, the pain relief effect is abnormally good, especially toothache fracture gout or something, I was thinking of discussing with Nanxing's father when I wasn't busy, you fell to the door. ”
"What is it, Aunt Yang?"
Pei Nanxing is also a little medicine idiot, as soon as he heard that there was a good new medicine, his body immediately sat up straight, and a pair of deer eyes were round.
Mrs. Li said sorry, walked out of the hall, and came back after a short time, still holding a glass medicine bottle in her hand.
Yan Zhi thought that Mrs. Li would come back with some strange flowers and plants, and she was quite surprised to see that it was Western medicine.
She took the bottle and saw that it was actually very small, with dark brown glass on the walls and bottom, and the mouth of the bottle was sealed with a cork. The bottle contained one-third white powder, with some yellowish color, and I don't know if it was the color of the glass or the original color of the powder.
Yan Zhi opened the bottle cap, leaned a little in her hand, stretched out and licked her little thumb a little, and as soon as she put it in her mouth, her brows furrowed - this obvious sour and bitter taste.
In the next second, she rushed to the tea tray, picked up the cup that Mrs. Li had just poured and washed the tea, poured it, and rushed out of the door with the cup.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what kind of neurosis this Yan girl had again.
After a while, I saw her patting her chest and sticking out her tongue and coming back, and seeing everyone staring at her, she was also speechless.
"Why are you staring at me, I didn't take the medicine indiscriminately...... I know why Master Lee is fine.
