Chapter 23: The Heart of the Hospital (6)
There weren't many clues from Madam Bai, and Liu Jingyi sighed softly. After a few days of hard work, the wall of the hospital hall and the courtyard of the Jing Mansion has been opened, and a moon arch has been built, plus some carvings, which looks particularly meaningful.
Liu Jingyi walked directly through the Moon Arch and returned to the East Cross Courtyard.
In the past few days, Liu Jingyi has not been idle, and has gone to Anguo Gongbei Hospital for a few days to change Yan Wanming's dressing, and also to check He'er's pulse. Taking advantage of the effort to diagnose He'er's pulse, she learned from He'er that her cousin's name was Luo Yuebai. He is the apprentice of Dr. Bai Bingyan.
But Bai Bingyan has three apprentices, none of whom is named Luo Yuebai. Liu Jingyi told Jing Ziyan the clues she got.
"Han Che, go check the household registration of those three apprentices." Jing Ziyan commanded.
In the past few days, Jing Ziyan has been running around for this matter, although Jiao Zhen has been asked to restart the case, but there has been no new progress at present, there are many things in the yamen, and Jiao Zhen obviously does not want Jing Ziyan to put too much energy on this case.
"Yi'er, I currently have other cases in my hands, Bai Bingyan's case, you should bother a lot, and tell me any new clues in time." Jing Ziyan said.
"Yes."
A few days later, under Liu Jingyi's careful treatment, Yan Wanming's wound had healed, and He'er's body had also recovered.
On this day, Liu Jingyi came over to ask Yan Wanming for a pulse as usual. After asking for the pulse, Liu Jingyi said, "Madam, I have something I want to ask Miss He'er." ”
"Doctor Liu, you saved our mother and son, don't be polite to me in the future, you call Zitong a sister, then call me a sister in the future, what about me, I won't call you Doctor Liu, I will call you sister in the future, you and I will be sisters." Yan Wanming said gently.
"Madam, how does this make Madame's status precious, I am just a folk medicine girl, how dare I be commensurate with Madame and sisters." Liu Jingyi replied.
"I have always felt that it is a very great profession for doctors to treat diseases and save people, and to benefit all directions. No matter how noble her status is, she also needs a doctor to diagnose and treat her when she is sick, so her sister doesn't need to be self-contemptuous. Yan Wanming took Liu Jingyi's hand and said softly.
Yan Wanming is very beautiful, beautiful but not demonic, and always gives people a feeling of spring breeze. "I have two older brothers, one younger brother, but I don't have a younger sister, so you can be my sister in the future?"
At this point, Liu Jingyi is not good to excuse herself. "Sister Yan." Liu Jingyi called softly.
"Hey." Yan Wanming said with a smile.
"Sister Yan, He'er next to you was sick a few days ago, I diagnosed and treated her, and now she is fine, I want to ask her a few words."
"If you have anything to ask, just ask." Yan Wanming said.
Liu Jingyi looked at He'er standing beside Yan Wanming. "Miss He'er, you resolutely refused to let me give you an injection that day, but now that you are well, should you believe me?"
He Er nodded reluctantly, but the look of fear in her eyes did not escape Liu Jingyi's eyes.
"Sister, it's not early, you have a good rest first, I still have something to do here, so I'll leave first, can you let He'er go out with me, I have a few words, I'll leave after asking."
Yan Wanming nodded with a smile and motioned for He'er to follow Liu Jingyi.
Zi Su has always been clever, and stepped forward with the medicine box and straddled He'er's arm, "Miss He'er, my name is Zi Su." ”
He'er subconsciously dodged.
Out of Yan Wanming's bedroom, He'er asked cautiously, "I don't know what Dr. Liu wants to ask me?" ”
"He'er, you said before that you don't let others give you needles for fear of retribution. I want to ask, what does that mean exactly? Liu Jingyi asked.
He'er shook her head, "Doctor Liu, I don't know, it was my cousin who told me so." ”
"You said before that your cousin was Bai Bingyan's apprentice, but I checked, Bai Bingyan didn't have an apprentice named Luo Yuebai."
He'er shook her head, "I don't know anything, please don't ask Doctor Liu again." ”
Liu Jingyi looked at the resisting He'er and knew that it was definitely not simple. "He'er, when have you met your cousin, and when did your cousin tell you that you can't let others give you needles?"
"I haven't seen my cousin for four or five years, and during this time, we have relied on correspondence. About two years ago, my cousin wrote to me that I should not easily trust the acupuncturist and say that he would be punished. ”
"He'er, if I'm not mistaken, you and your cousin should have a private agreement for life, right?"
A flush flew up on He'er's face. "No, no, my cousin and I have been married since childhood, my cousin and I are both suburbs of the capital, our family is poor, in order to survive, my cousin said that I want to go south to find a livelihood."
Later, my cousin wrote to me that he had visited a doctor named Bai Bingyan in Liuzhou to study medicine, and said that when he was successful in his studies, he would come back to marry me and open a medical clinic in the suburbs of the capital in the future.
"Have you seen your cousin since you came to Liuzhou?"
He'er shook her head, "I wrote to my cousin, saying that I came to Liuzhou, but because I have to take care of my wife until she gives birth, I can't go out to see him." ”
Liu Jingyi frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Now that the two of you are in Liuzhou, you don't have time to see each other?" ”
"As soon as I came to the Anguo Mansion, the rule was strict, and the maid was not allowed to have a private meeting with a foreign man, and once someone found out, I would die; Second, I have to take care of my wife and give birth, and I really can't take care of anything else. ”
Liu Jingyi nodded. "Can you show me your cousin's letter?"
He'er shook her head: "This... It's a personal letter... She hesitated for a moment: "Doctor Liu asked so much, is something wrong with my cousin?" ”
"You" Liu Jingyi paused, "I don't know about Dr. Bai Bingyan?" ”
"Huh? What's up? ”
"Didn't your cousin mention it to you in the letter?"
He Er shook her head with a confused face: "What... What's up? My cousin said that Dr. Bai Bingyan had always treated him very well, saying that he was quite talented in studying medicine, and Dr. Bai was willing to teach him. ”
"When was the last time you corresponded with your cousin, and did he mention Dr. Bai?"
He'er raised her head and thought about it carefully, "About three months ago, my cousin said that he was now able to sit in the hospital, and Dr. Bai was relieved to let him diagnose alone." ”
"What did you say?" Liu Jingyi's face changed drastically.
"How... What's wrong? He'er was frightened by Liu Jingyi's change.
"He'er, hurry up and bring me the letter."
Seeing Liu Jingyi's almost gaffe change, He'er knew that something important was happening, so she went back to her room and took the letter to Liu Jingyi.
Liu Jingyi carefully read the contents of the letter, "He'er, can you let me take this letter back first?" There is one thing, I must tell you, Dr. Bai Bingyan committed suicide in prison two years ago because he was involved in diagnosing people and only admitting death, and Dr. Bai's family has always believed that Dr. Bai may have been wronged, so we are investigating this case. ”
He'er's face changed drastically.
"Okay. . . Good.. Take it. ”
Liu Jingyi put away the letter, left the Anguo Gong Hospital, and went straight to the medical hall. She was going to find the pulse case left by Wu Haisheng and check the handwriting. Among Bai Bingyan's apprentices, only Wu Haisheng himself was able to open a clinic.
But in the medical hall, except for the pulse case left by Bai Bingyan, there is no other person's pulse case record. She learned from Lin Mi that Wu Hai was afraid that his medical skills would be spread, so he took away all the pulse cases since his consultation.
She hurried back to Jing's house and went to find Jing Ziyan. But Jing Ziyan has been mentioning the Yamen of the Criminal Division for the past few days, busy with various cases, and is not at home. "That's it, Zisu, you go and check Wu Haisheng's whereabouts, don't alarm him, be careful in everything."
Although Zisu can also do some kung fu, Liu Jingyi has never let Zisu go out to run errands alone. "The slave knows, you just wait for my news, wrap it up on me." Shiso patted his chest and promised.
Liu Jingyi returned to the medical hall, which was nearing the end of its renovation and would soon be opened, and she searched carefully in the medical hall, trying to find the traces left by Wu Haisheng.
But it was not found. "It's even more suspicious."
Liu Jingyi sat on the eight-sided table in the main hall, her elbows supported on the table, and her forehead was supported with one hand, looking preoccupied.
"Doctor Liu, what's the trouble?" Madame White came out of the backyard.
"Madame Bai, why did you come out? But what's the matter with Miss Bai? ”
Madame White shook her head. "Shuang'er is fine, under your treatment, Shuang'er's madness has been suppressed, although I don't know anyone yet, and I have forgotten many things, but I am teaching her, and now she knows to call my mother." Madame Bai was particularly excited: "I have started embroidering in the past few days." ”
"Doctor Liu, this is all your credit, I didn't expect you to have such a brilliant medical skill at such a young age."
"Madame Bai, you have won the prize, I only temporarily suppressed her madness, but I can't cure her, I can't guarantee that if she is stimulated again, what will happen, I wonder, let her stay away from sadness, as much as possible to avoid her stimulation, will it help her?"
Madame Bai seemed to be inspired by something, "Doctor Liu, what you said is reasonable, I originally wanted to take the medical hall out and take Shuang'er away from this place, but the grievances of the deceased husband have not been cleared up, so I am unwilling to leave like this." ”
Liu Jingyi held Mrs. Bai's hand tightly and said comfortingly: "Madam, don't worry, there are already some clues now, if Dr. Bai is really wronged, we will definitely wash away his grievances." ”
Liu Jingyi comforted Mrs. Bai and talked to her again. As he spoke, there was a knock at the door. Lin Mi, who had been taking stock of medicinal materials in the medical hall for the past few days, hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, and it turned out that the plaque had been prepared. The background color of the log is inlaid with cyan ink, and the four big characters of "Zhizi Medicine Furnace" are inlaid with cyan ink.
Madame Bai knew that the name of this medical hall was about to be changed. "Dr. Liu is not only skilled in medicine, but also talented, knowing the medicine furnace, and having a good intention." Madame Bai said with sincere admiration.
As twilight fell, Shiso returned from outside. Liu Jingyi said goodbye to Madame Bai and walked through the Moon Arch back to the East Cross Courtyard. "Girl, I've searched all the pharmacies and medical halls in the city, and the second apprentice Yue Pu is now working in a pharmacy in the east of the city, but that Wu Haisheng, I've searched all the pharmacies in the city, but there is no such person."
Liu Jingyi's face changed drastically. "What did you say?"
