Volume 2 Debt Repayment Chapter 187 Xiao'er is poisoned
Early the next morning, Li Chengyang was still asleep, and Xiao'er and Li Shi got up early and went out.
Today's Li Chengyang is still fine, and he can take advantage of this free time to get some refined salt.
Li Yi and the others are about to come back, and the minimum goods still have to be prepared.
Li Yi had already sent someone to send a letter back:
Under the double care of the officials and families in the mutual market, he has now gained a firm foothold.
Li Chengyang's salt and tea did have a big impact on the mutual market, but everything was under control.
Lee stabbed a thief who wanted to steal the recipe while it was dark,
and personally handed over the body to the government, and the new official of the government took office, so he naturally chose to investigate this evil thing to the end.
After several days of strict investigation, a scapegoat was caught.
Then he was exiled by the government on the charge of murder, and he never wanted to return to the territory of the mutual market in his life.
Yu Shou said good things about the family, and he also became the head of a family.
Everything is developing like a good place, and the first profit is following Li Yi on the way back to Chang'an.
Li Chengyang smashed the salt so quickly that the mouth of the tiger king who stepped on his feet couldn't close.
Just less than a cart of salt tea,
Hundreds of sheep and a dozen cows were replaced.
This is not counting the cost of gifts, protection money.
The new two carts may have now arrived at the mutual market, and this time it is estimated that they can be exchanged for a thousand sheep and about fifty cattle.
1,000 sheep are enough for 6 guards to eat for more than 10 days, 10,000 people and 100 sheep.
It is still guaranteed that one person can eat about one pound of mutton a day.
Moreover, the market there is far from saturated, and there is still room for growth.
It won't be long before the six guards will be able to rely entirely on the mutual market to provide for them.
"Oh no, Your Highness, there's something big going on in the coal yard."
Just as Li Chengyang was happily fantasizing about the future situation, a hurried voice startled his heart.
The person who came was the guard he sent to Xiao'er.
"What's wrong, what's wrong, don't be so flustered", Li Chengyang stood up and supported the guard.
"I ate at noon in the coal mine, and after eating, they all collapsed, and it looked like they were poisoned.
The laughing girl is also ......".
The guard said that he couldn't go on here, and as soon as he heard that there was something wrong with the laughter, Li Chengyang rushed out of the small courtyard without looking back.
Riding the red rabbit that I hadn't seen for a long time, I told the guards around me:
"Go to the Imperial Physician at once, call all the Imperial Physicians, and give me all the utensils to the coal yard.
If there is one who does not obey, he will kill him directly, and I will bear the responsibility."
After speaking, he didn't wait for anyone to reply, slapped Chitu hard behind him, turned into an afterimage and rushed out of the East Palace.
"Laugh, you must not have any accidents",
Li Chengyang prayed while running, and at this time he longed to grow wings and fly over.
finally waited for a good day, how could Xiao'er be poisoned.
If he wants to know that this thing is man-made, he will find out that person even if he searches Chang'an.
Fortunately, Xiao'er's place is not far from Chang'an, and Li Chengyang arrived at the mine in a short time.
All the people here were lying on the ground, clutching their stomachs and rolling.
Li Chengyang didn't care so much, so he got off the red rabbit and rushed to Xiao'er's hut.
The vigilant guards outside the house saw that Li Chengyang was coming, and immediately put away the weapons in their hands and waited there quietly.
"How's the smile, forget it, I'll go see it myself",
Li Chengyang's eyes were red, and he rushed directly to the house.
At this time, there were also three guards in the room guarding the bedside, silently not saying a word.
Xiao'er was lying on the bed, and her ruddy little face looked particularly pale.
There are some bruises on the lips, but it's much better than the people outside.
The lips of the people outside were purple, and everyone was hunched over like a prawn.
"Who of you knows what kind of poison this is", Li Chengyang looked at Xiao'er's anxious tears and was about to fall,
Grabbing the guard next to him, he asked.
The guard frowned, and said in embarrassment: "Look at the symptoms like the poison of the frost, and the other small ones don't know."
"Batch frost?" Li Chengyang's eyes were black and he almost fainted.
This thing is highly poisonous, both in ancient and modern times.
After eating this thing, there was a special special medicine to treat it in the previous life, but now in Datang?
"Induce vomiting, induce vomiting first", Li Chengyang hurriedly said.
This is the only way he can come up with, it's all eaten, at least the vomiting can still have some effect.
Helping Xiao'er up and opening her mouth, Li Chengyang put his fingers into her mouth and kept scratching Xiao'er's throat.
"Wow......"
Xiao'er was disgusted and vomited all the things she ate at noon.
The guard crouched down and carefully turned over the stains on the ground:
"Your Highness, it's confirmed, it's a batch of frost."
Li Chengyang was stunned for a moment, and then continued to scratch his throat with a smile.
I vomited for a long time, and at first I vomited rice, then sour water, and finally I vomited yellow bile.
It was only at this time that Li Chengyang breathed a sigh of relief:
"Go outside, and do what you want, and if you can save one person, you will be counted as one."
Xiao'er's face improved significantly, and her breathing gradually calmed down a lot.
After Li Chengyang finished his order, he went to the canteen on the construction site to find a few eggs.
I took a bowl and got all the egg whites out, and slowly poured them into Xiao'er's mouth.
This is used to protect the stomach, and now that there is no milk, egg whites can do the same.
Xiao'er's face began to flush, and it looked like she had fallen asleep.
There was a commotion outside, and then a group of imperial doctors rushed in in a hurry.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the poison of the frost, for the time being, there is no medicine for the time being",
The imperial doctor is naturally more experienced than the guards, and when he came, he could see at a glance what kind of poison he had been poisoned on the road.
But there's really no cure for this thing.
"Do you see what the guards outside do? Learn from them."
"But, Your Highness",
What else did the man want to say.
Li Chengyang's eyes widened, and he stomped his feet violently, and he stomped out a pit on the floor of the wooden house: "Get out."
Li Chengyang's loud shout scared everyone's courage back.
The imperial doctors came in quickly and went out faster, and almost instantly only Xiao'er and Li Chengyang were left in the hut.
The frost has not been cured, otherwise it would not have had a prestigious name for so many years, and it also has a different name.
Crane top red.
From the beginning of I don't know when, until the Qing Dynasty, there was no antidote to Hedinghong.
All Li Chengyang can do is alleviate it, but he can't cure it.
drove the doctor away, sat back on Xiao'er's bedside, took Xiao'er's hand and carefully watched her changes.
The heartbeat is fine, the face is fine, and it can be regarded as saving a life.
The guards were clever enough, and perhaps as soon as the incident happened, they hurriedly rode their horses into the palace.
It didn't take half an hour to go back and forth, and the poison hadn't gone deeper.
The imperial doctor, the guards, and some of the people who came to watch the excitement all came together.
It didn't take long for a guard to report:
"There are more than 40 people on the construction site, and only more than 300 people can temporarily save their lives."
Li Chengyang nodded and waved his hand to retreat.
Now he doesn't have the heart to care about outside affairs, it's the matter of the imperial doctor.
The main thing now is to laugh and be fine.
Li Shi also rushed back when he heard the news, went into the hut to take a look, and found that there was nothing serious.
Xiao'er lay there peacefully, not like she had lost her life, and immediately went out to find someone to understand the situation.
This thing must have been cheated by someone, don't even think about it.
What Li Shi should do now is to find out who is behind this scene, and then send people to Li Chengyang.
The cook didn't save her life, and now she's lying on the ground.
I asked a limited number of people who were sober, and there was not much to gain.
The people who might have been suspected were poisoned to death, and everything was at an impasse again.
After asking the guards, I roughly knew what happened:
Everything is as usual, the workers are happily working,
At noon, the cook began to cook,
Soon, the rice was cooked, and the greedy cook scooped up a spoonful of broth from time to time and drank a few sips.
The rest of the people are not surprised, the cook does not steal, and the grain is not harvested?
Soon, it was time to eat,
Two big cakes for one person, a bowl of radish stew, and a bowl of broth for outsiders.
Everyone ate deliciously, such a day was unimaginable before.
Xiao'er has her own small stove and has lunch at the same time.
The workers ate a lot of meat, and the broth was unlimited, and bowl after bowl went into their stomachs.
Xiao'er eats less, and doesn't exercise as much as the workers, and has no appetite.
So I simply dealt with a few bites.
Soon, the first screams rang out.
It's the cook who steals food,
She was the first to eat and drink a lot, and she was the first to be poisoned.
Then the people on the construction site fell like dominoes, piece by piece.
Everyone clutched their stomachs and snorted.
Then, it's laughter.
Everyone fell, Xiao'er was taken aback, and was about to check it out, but she herself slowly fell down holding her stomach.
At that moment, some of the guards mounted their horses and ran towards the palace.
And then everything that happened was known.
Then Li Shi told Li Chengyang about the situation.
Li Chengyang's eyes stared at the smile and remained motionless:
"Go to the city and find out who served us the food."
Li Shi nodded, she thought the same thing.
Since the cook is dead, and Xiao'er and the worker cook separately,
Then it's definitely not poison thrown into the dish.
The guards had rules and easily stopped eating out, so they were spared.
And Xiao'er's cook is also monitored by the guards when he is cooking.
He couldn't have poisoned his food without being detected.
Therefore, the root of the problem is likely to be found in the vegetable seller.
Such an effect can only be achieved if the dish is smeared with poison in advance.
Li Shi sent his own guards to the coal mine to inform them not to eat anything for the time being.
He went straight to Chang'an City.
The dishes were all bought in Chang'an City, and Li Shi also went to familiarize himself with the situation.
She also knew about the greengrocer's house, so she went straight to the man's house.
When I arrived at the place, I found that the building had already been empty, and there were still many traces of fighting at the scene.
Li Shi frowned and carefully inspected the scene, but found nothing.
There is no valuable evidence.
I looked at the dishes that didn't sell around, and I chose a few random things and looked at them.
It doesn't look like it's poisoned.
But this is also evidence, and immediately Li Shi took a few samples of all the dishes, and went straight to the outside of the city with the samples.
Li Chengyang's side is still standing in front of Xiao'er's bed.
After a long time, Li Chengyang felt Xiao'er's fingers move a few times, and he was immediately overjoyed.
The atmosphere didn't dare to look at the smile.
Finally, Xiao'er opened her eyes: "Young master? ”。
Li Chengyang nodded: "Don't talk, take care of it, I've already asked the imperial doctor to find a way,
Don't be afraid, with the young master here, you will be fine."
Xiao'er wanted to say something, but after all, she just opened her eyes and couldn't lift up any strength.
I had to listen to Li Chengyang's words, obediently closed my eyes and continued to rest.
