Chapter 305: Black Bone Carbuncle
The Li Mansion is only two quarters of an hour away from the palace, Jian Ying made people say hello in advance, got off the carriage in front of the Li family, and got on the soft sedan chair and went straight to the Bohan Pavilion where Yu Ge'er lived.
Zhou Shu was dispensing medicine under the guidance of Imperial Physician Gao, and was a little surprised when he heard that Jian Ying was coming. Knowing that if there was no urgency, she would not run this trip in person, so she hurriedly put down the work in her hand and came out.
When they met, Jian Ying didn't bother to say anything, and directly took out the piece of paper, "Look at this." ”
Zhou Shu took it and swept it, and saw that it was full of small characters, densely listed many names, and the gender, age, birthdate, parents and the position of the parents in the clan were indicated after the name, and most of the surnames were "Meng", and I couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, "These people ......"
"They're all dead." Jian Ying picked up the conversation in a deep voice.
Zhou Shu was taken aback, "Where did you get this list?" ”
"Didn't I warn you? If the Meng family really has this fatal family genetic disease, they will definitely try their best to cover it up, and it will be difficult to find out the results if you start from this aspect. That's why I asked someone to go into the Meng family and focus on investigating the people who died unnaturally in the last decade or two......"
Jian Ying quickly explained to him the source of the list, "You look at this again." ”
As he spoke, he unfolded the tree diagram of the relationship between the characters he drew and spread it on the table, and pointed his finger to him, "The people on this list are all members of the Meng family, the oldest is twenty-seven years old, the youngest is only one year old, and most of the ages are concentrated between the teens and twenties, and more than seventy percent are men.
The causes of their deaths varied. What drowning, falling off a horse and dying, fighting to death, and even being poisoned and murdered by black-hearted minions, but there are very few people who are stained with the word 'disease', does it give people a feeling of deliberately escaping and wanting to cover up?
No matter how prosperous the Meng family is, so many young men with the most vigorous vitality have died in one or two decades, and all of them died accidentally, no matter how you think about it.
There are also several causes of death of the daughters of the Meng family recorded on this list, except for one who was born with smallpox and one who committed suicide. Everything else is dystocia. Because there are so many people who die in childbirth. I'm afraid of more dystocia, don't you think the luck of the Meng family's daughter is too much? ”
Zhou Shu flicked his finger on the paper, "That's right, it seems that the root cause of the disease is indeed in the Meng family." And it was discovered twenty years or more ago. That's why they went to great lengths to falsify the cause of death. Cover up the truth. ”
Jian Ying nodded, then pointed to the tree-shaped diagram and said, "Look, they are arranged according to the age. The number of deaths is gradually decreasing......"
Zhou Shu's eyes lit up suddenly, "It can be seen that even if the Meng family does not have a cure, there must be a way to control the disease." As long as we know how to control it, Doctor Gao and I may be able to formulate a prescription for treatment. ”
"That's right." Jian Ying picked up the piece of paper and folded it three times and two times, and stuffed it into his hand, "Without further ado, you immediately take these two pieces of paper to the eldest sister and let her go to Qufu again." With this list and relationship map as proof, the Meng family can't deny it no matter how much they want to! ”
Zhou Shu responded with a "yes", turned around and ran out. After running a few steps and turning back, he hugged her and kissed her fiercely on the lips, "You are really my lucky star!" ”
"Don't do that." Jian Ying pushed him away in disgust, "Hurry up and get down to business." ”
Zhou Shu chuckled and walked under his feet.
Zhou Qing was still lying on the bed sick a moment ago, and when he saw the two pieces of paper, he immediately came back to life. Stop dressing, call your younger brother, order the soldiers and horses, and kill the hometown of Kong Lao Er with a rainbow. When you arrive at the city of Qufu, you can use the walking token of the Ji'an palace to open the city gate and drive straight in.
It was midnight, and the Meng family had already fallen asleep. Master Meng hugged a young and beautiful concubine in a room just a few days ago, and slept soundly, when he heard a report that there were soldiers and horses surrounding Meng's mansion, and he was so frightened that the three souls fell out of two, and the seven spirits lost their lives, and rolled off the bed naked.
tremblingly got dressed and went out, only to know that Zhou Qing and Zhou Han who came here were ashamed of their previous gaffes, and they couldn't wait to slap the ominous messenger to death.
guessed why the two sisters and brothers came, and they wanted to avoid it, but they even surrounded the mansion, and they refused to give up without asking about the result, so how long can they hide? If they see through it, it will be equivalent to tearing your face, and it will be difficult to see each other in the future.
After weighing it, I had to bite the bullet and come to the front hall.
After meeting each other, they met each other, and after a few pleasantries, Zhou Qing brought up the old matter again and asked if anyone in the Meng family had had round bone disease. Master Meng gritted his teeth at first, only saying that he didn't know, and when Zhou Qing took out the two pieces of paper, he honestly admitted it.
Zhou Qing was sad and angry after hearing this, "It is said that my mother and uncle are big, our two sisters and brothers have lost their mothers since they were children, and they have always regarded our uncle as the closest person to our grandfather.
What's more, my cousin also married into the Ji'an Royal Mansion and became my brother-in-law, we are a family that is close to each other, breaking bones and tendons, how can my uncle treat me like this?
Our brother Yu's life is on the verge of death, I begged you to save my life, but you didn't save me when you saw death, you used lies to perfunctory me, and sent my niece as a person from both sides of the world.
Uncle, ask yourself, are you worthy of the 'uncle' I call you? ”
Master Meng was ashamed, and covered his blushing fat face with his sleeves, "It's not that I can't save myself when I die, I also have a hard time......
Alas, that's it, I have nothing to hide now, so I'll leave everything to you.
This disease has been entrenched in the Meng family for seventy or eighty years, and at first the ancestors of our Meng family did not realize that this was a family genetic disease, because there had been a very severe plague before, and it should be the bane left by the plague.
After two generations, it was discovered that it was not a plague. The men of the Meng family died one after another, and once almost cut off the incense. Countless famous doctors were invited, but they didn't know what kind of illness it was, let alone how to treat it.
Fortunately, there is a person among our people who likes to travel, and by chance he met a person who is proficient in medical skills, this person is nameless, and has a quirk, which our ancestors called 'ghost hand magic doctor'.
The ghost-handed miracle doctor was invited to Meng's house, and after diagnosing the sick person, he called the disease 'black bone carbuncle'......"
"Is there a cure?" Hearing this, Zhou Qing and Zhou Han asked in unison.
Master Meng shook his head, "That divine doctor tried countless prescriptions, exhausted most of our Meng family's wealth, and finally failed to cure a single case. Once this disease occurs, there is no way to return to heaven, and there is only one way to wait for death.
That's why when you first came to ask me, I couldn't bear to tell you the truth.
If you don't tell you, you can still have a glimmer of hope, and telling you is equivalent to announcing Brother Yu'er's death sentence! ”
