Chapter 39: Do you want to call for reinforcements?

The official guards who died last night really came over, but fortunately, they saw that Chu Yinghan was already in bed, and they didn't dare to approach. I casually asked about last night.

Xiao Jiuyi pretended to be stupid, crying and saying that his husband had been infected last night, and begged them to let him out. A few people left in a hurry for fear of contracting the epidemic.

Chu Yinghan is not a god of war, and he has not eaten food since entering Pingyao Town. At this moment, there was a phenomenon of poisoning, but he followed Xiao Jiu through the streets and alleys, asking many villagers with different symptoms.

There is no way to vomit or excrement, Xiao Jiuyi did not let it go. Chu Yinghan admired it, as if he had stitched it for him that night, this person would always become extremely serious when he met a patient.

The hours flew by, and food began to spread on the drying field, and Xiao Jiu asked him to find a place to recuperate first. I went to get some dry food by myself, but Chu Yinghan disagreed, so he said more.

It didn't take long for Zihuai to meet. Goodbye Xiao Jiu, laughing a little embarrassed. "Xiao Jiu, you have deceived me miserably!"

Chu Yinghan's eyes dimmed, and Zihuai immediately changed his words. "Miss Ling, this is the dish that the prince ordered to bring you, it is just right to use it at this moment!"

Xiao Jiu glared at him complainingly, and saw that Zihuai was secretly happy. took the food box and said generously: "Thank you, Brother Zihuai, you still call me Xiao Jiu." “

Zihuai squinted at the prince, but the prince was helpless and did not react. Zihuai laughed and said: "Xiao Jiu, I didn't know that you were a woman before, if you have offended, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Xiao Jiu was a little embarrassed, and felt that it was really uncomfortable to get along in this way. said bluntly: "Okay, okay, Brother Zihuai, it's really tiring to talk like this, you're here to deliver the prescription, right?"

Zihuai laughed again, and had the idea of patting her on the shoulder again. However, the prince who used to be cold-faced, now he is like a tiger who protects his son, and he really doesn't dare.

"I easily tricked it out and copied another copy. Since the accident, the prescription has been changed three times. Twenty-three people died in the town. For fear of infection, they were all incinerated. Beidi discussed this matter very much and sought medical treatment from all over the country. ”

"What's going on over there with the prince?" Chu Yinghan and Xiao Jiu asked almost at the same time.

Zihuai looked at this wonderful combination with satisfaction. "I've been calling myself sick and staying in the temple!"

"Hmm!"

Zihuai seemed to have something to say, and when she saw that the prince was standing by her side, she had to say in a tone as much as she could: "Lord, why don't you let Miss Ling watch first, let's go out for a walk?"

"This king is sick!" "I don't want to miss Xiao Jiuhu's appearance of eating and drinking, how can I be willing to leave at this moment."

Zihuai looked at Xiao Jiu tentatively, and said helplessly, not knowing what to say.

Chu Yinghan's eyes flashed, as if he understood something. said lightly: "Okay, if you're here, it's better to go out and see those patients." ”

With his hands behind his back, he proudly walked out of the hut. Xiao Jiu compared the three prescriptions in his hand very seriously, and did not pay any attention to the strangeness of the two.

Outside the door

Chu Yinghan frowned. "You mean General Chen's concubine is also buried in the wilderness?"

"Yes, Lord Wang, back then"

Chu Yinghan raised his hand and stopped Zihuai. "I know!"

Zihuai said again: "After that, General Chen's little daughter also disappeared, and only two years later, there was a funeral at home, saying that the cruise ship accidentally drowned!"

Chu Yinghan was inexplicably a little distressed, his eyes were as deep as a pool of deep water, and the surface was not shocked, but there were undercurrent fluctuations. Zihuai didn't dare to say anything. I had to wait quietly.

In his heart, he only hoped that Xiao Jiu was just the woman who simply came out of the small town. Then no matter what identity you have in the future, as long as the prince is willing to do it. No one dares to suspect.

There was a moment of silence.

"Don't mention this matter to Xiao Jiu!"

Zihuai's heart sank. "Yes, but the prince!"

"No but, I believe her!"

The two returned to the hut together, and Xiao Jiu, who had always been delicious, did not touch the food box. When he saw them come in, he ran to him very happily and said, "Lord Wang, I can see some problems. “

"What?"

"First, these three prescriptions should be made by one person."

Zihuai interrupted: "Generally, such a major event is jointly prescribed by the imperial doctor sent by the palace, but it is just a person who records the prescription. ”

Xiao Jiu nodded. "From the second prescription onwards, antidote herbs were added to the medicine, indicating that they also diagnosed these people with intestinal poisoning. “

Chu Yinghan didn't respond, but Zihuai felt strange. "Are you saying that both the Imperial Doctor and you diagnosed these people with food poisoning, but reported the disease?"

Xiao Jiu didn't dare to speak falsely, and raised his eyes to look at the prince. Zihuai realized again: "Mo isn't it?"

The cold and arrogant prince finally spoke. "No, this matter has nothing to do with interests, if it is against the prince, he will not use such a stupid method. Basically, all the people in this town are dead, and the incompetent ones are also the imperial doctors, and the prince is just ineffective in execution. If it were him, there would be no reason. ”

Xiao Jiu didn't understand this, and said: "Second, I read the prescription, the medicinal materials are precious, and the amount of medicine is also heavy. It seems that the doctors also want to cure the villagers as soon as possible. ”

"Why does that worsen after taking the drug?"

Xiao Jiu didn't answer, but asked: "Lord Wang, is the remuneration of the people of Pingyao Town very low in exchange for embroidery?"

Zihuai replied: "That's natural, this Pingyao Town ancestor was originally a place where the criminal ministers in the palace were decentralized, the area is not good, and people dare not move." The merchants of Jiangdu knew this, and the price of embroidery in exchange was naturally very low. ”

"That's right! They're chronically undernourished. The drugs in the uterus are expensive, such as ginseng, dansha and other drugs to rush the pulse. They don't suffer for a while, and there are cases of severe illness. ”

"So, you have a solution?"

Xiao Jiu's flickering gaze immediately dimmed, and he shook his head. "If I follow the prescription of the imperial doctor, I can change a few medicinal materials used in folk home remedies. However, the source of poisoning cannot be found, and I am afraid that it will not be cured. I always felt that there was something wrong with the soil. The place I touched last night, as soon as I touched the water, it was red, swollen and itchy!"

"How is it now?" Chu Yinghan was so fast that people were caught off guard and pulled Xiao Jiu's observation.

At a glance, I saw Zihuai's face holding back a smile. Xiao Jiu hurriedly pulled away. "It's been a long time coming. It's you, or I'll get you some medicinal soup according to the imperial doctor's house first, pharmacologically speaking, there is no problem with the prescription!"

Zihuai suddenly realized. "Lord Wang, have you been poisoned again?"

Chu Yinghan didn't answer, and was very dissatisfied with Fang Cai Xiaojiu's quick withdrawal of his hand. But he didn't say it directly. Tsundere tilted her head back, her eyes deep. It's angry at first glance.

Xiao Jiu secretly stuck out his tongue towards Zihuai. Said seriously: "The villagers should be taking these water and food for a long time, so it is serious, if it is the prince, a pair of medicines should be almost good." ”

"Have you ever thought about Pingyao Town, why is there a disease this year?

Xiao Jiu was speechless, but he really hadn't thought about this problem. But there are antidote herbs on the prescription of the imperial doctor, and there is more than one taste. It shows that he also suspects the possibility of intestinal poisoning. What the hell is it?"

The places that should have been inspected have been checked, and at the moment there is a problem with the hard dust.

Xiao Jiu blinked, and thought of something again. "Let's go to the river again. ”

Zihuai shouted, "Aren't you hungry?

Xiao Jiu didn't seem to hear it, and just lowered his head and hurried away. The prince followed silently. Zihuai thought secretly, he thought that it was a coincidence that Xiao Jiu could cure the prince, so it seems that he still has some ability and determination.

The two of them fell a few steps behind Xiao Jiu. The prince asked softly and quietly, "Is there any change in the town?"

"Seems to be complaining about anyone! ”

This bunch of doglegs who will only take money and get away with it. Lost people for a certain time do not want to look, but guess. There is not a shred of team trust. It's okay to leave yourself a lot of time.

As soon as he arrived at the river, Xiao Jiu had already traced the traces of last night and dug down. Zihuai stepped forward to help. It doesn't take a while. I saw the bones that had been buried last night.

A pile of bones all blackened. The closer you get to the grayish-white soil layer, the darker it becomes.

Xiao Jiu raised his head firmly and said, "Lord Wang, I'm sure it's these soil problems. The bones of these people were buried last night, and my bones were only rotting flesh and blood. If you want to look at it, the bones will only be slightly blue. “

As he spoke, he took a stone and smashed a bone. The bones are very loose. Shattered. All the bone marrow, including the bone marrow, is black.

Xiao Jiu saw that the two of them were looking at him fixedly, bit his lip and said unwillingly: "I think I have read a lot of books, but I have never heard of the toxins extracted from the soil. ”

After thinking about it, there was a light in his eyes. "Lord Wang, you are well-informed, why don't you inquire about where Tuoba Gu is?"

"No!" Chu Yinghan didn't think about refusing directly. I felt that I was too quick to refuse. Said lightly: "Didn't you send a post to the pharmacist Gu? If I expect it to be good, the teacher will come soon." ”

Xiao Jiu sighed slightly. "I'm afraid that the old doctor is studying drugs, although pharmacology and toxicity are not separated, but there are some things that are only poisonous and not treated, I'm afraid only Tuoba Gu knows. Lord Wang, we may have time to wait, but what about so many villagers in Pingyao Town?

The prince's eyes flashed, the surface remained unchanged, but his heart was a mess. I just want to smack her hard and break her head, leaving me alone.

He said indifferently and firmly: "Then use me to test the medicine first! Regardless of whether they agree or not, they put their hands behind their backs and left."

Xiao Jiu helplessly buried the bones with his son. Zihuai only felt the voice of the prince appear in his ears. "I went to check on a few people who were suspected of poisoning among the imperial doctors, and they all brought me secretly. ”

Zihuai didn't hold back and replied, bumped into Xiao Jiu's curious eyes, and hurriedly pretended that nothing had happened. Looking at the tragic bones of the dead, I thought to myself.

Since three or four years ago, after the party in the palace independently asked for the prince's life to compete for the throne, the prince has become more and more cold. Always be cautious. I also have to take care of the prince, and when I was young, I saw him fighting with the soldiers and drinking. Now, in order to avoid winning over military power, he naturally withdraws out.

Those who understand him still swear to follow him to the death. But it is inevitable that many people will accuse him behind him, and when he has the opportunity to take the position, he will turn his face and deny people.

Now that Xiao Jiu has arrived, at least the more he lives, the more he looks like a flesh-and-blood person.
