Chapter 41 Parade through the streets
My hand rested on the old lady's vein, and as the pulse fluctuated, my face turned red and white, white and red, and a fine bead of sweat appeared on my forehead, and my heart panicked, and my hand began to tremble.
Xiao Sixi also saw the difference, and asked anxiously, "What is going on?" β
"I'm afraidβ" I felt my throat tighten, and I opened my mouth to speak, only to find that my voice was hoarse and I couldn't make out the tone.
Xiao Sixi was also anxious, slapped a paw on my face, and yelled at me: "You calm down, what about me if something happens, why are you panicking?" β
I barely managed to calm down and said, "I'm afraid this old lady won't be able to do it." β
Xiao Sixi injected the true qi into his claws, and then pressed it on the old lady's seal hall, and after a long time, it muttered, "That's it." β
I didn't have time, so I hurriedly explained to Xiao Sixi: "Xiao Sixi, no matter what happens for a while, you have to protect yourself first, and then find a way to save me." β
As soon as I finished speaking, the door was kicked open from the outside, and Mrs. Xiangguo led a group of people into the house.
I got up to block Xiao Sixi, and then glanced at it, Xiao Sixi understood, and hid behind the bed curtain.
The two little guys stepped forward without saying anything, and grabbed my arms one on the left and the other on the right.
I had completely calmed down at this time, and when I looked at Mrs. Xiangguo's gloomy face, I suddenly felt ridiculous, and I unconsciously smiled on my face.
Mrs. Xiangguo asked with a dark face, "Miss Chen can still laugh?" β
I pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What do you mean, ma'am?" Feng Ming didn't understand. β
Mrs. Xiangguo waved her hand behind her, "Then I'll let you understand." β
A man in the imperial doctor's uniform walked out from behind Mrs. Xiangguo, walked straight to the old lady's bed, and began to give the old lady a pulse.
This upright young man of the imperial doctor, who may have just been admitted to the hospital for a short time, thinks that he should be Mrs. Xiangguo's new confidant.
The imperial doctor touched the old lady's wrist with concern, rolled the old lady's eyelids again, and then knelt down in front of Mrs. Xiangguo, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Mrs. Qiyu! The old lady is not seriously ill, but someone deliberately poisoned her! β
Mrs. Xiangguo looked at me and said, "Miss Chen, do you understand now?" β
As soon as I entered the door, I smelled that the medicine was wrong, but after the old lady called for the pulse, it was even more certain that the old lady had indeed been poisoned.
"I'm going to see the prescription." Although I knew that they must have been prepared, I still didn't give up.
Mrs. Xiangguo took a piece of paper from Lu E's hand, and then threw it directly in my face, "Miss Chen, look carefully." β
I unfolded the paper.
It is indeed the prescription I wrote before, but at the end of the prescription, someone imitated my handwriting and added aconite.
Aconite is the root of Aconitum aconitum after being processed into medicine, which is very hot and poisonous, and cannot be taken internally. However, the aconite paid by the prescription is made of aconite, and the dosage is no problem.
Ordinary doctors will feel that there is nothing wrong with this prescription, aconite can strengthen the heart, it is a holy product to return to the yang and save the adversity, if the person who has collapsed from the yang can take it to the dead and return to the sky. But the old lady is the opposite, she is already a fever and impotence, and using such pure yang tiger and wolf medicine is not inferior to adding fuel to the fire.
The person who came up with this prescription has a really vicious heart.
And the spearhead of this conspiracy is directly pointed at me, the diagnosis is made by me, the prescription is prescribed by me, and I am at a loss for words.
I have heard people say before that the old lady is strong and domineering, and Su Yi is stupid and filial, but Mrs. Xiangguo is also a top-notch person, so the relationship between Mrs. Xiangguo and the old lady has always been like fire and water.
Mrs. Xiangguo's plan can be described as killing two birds with one stone, that is, in addition to me, the thorn in the eye, and the old lady's thorn in the flesh.
Mrs. Xiangguo didn't see the expression she wanted on my face, and seemed a little disappointed, "What else does Miss Chen have to say?" β
I didn't answer, but looked at the imperial doctor kneeling on the ground and asked, "What's your name?" β
The imperial doctor straightened up his upper body, looked at me and replied fearlessly: "In the Xiatai Hospital, Jiang has a way." β
I bowed my head, "The family surnamed Jiang is the descendant of Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan Shennong's family has tasted all the herbs for all the people in the world, created immeasurable merits, and was regarded as the head of the five emperors by later generations, as his descendants, you don't want to insult your ancestors." β
Jiang Youtu looked puzzled, not knowing what I was going to say.
Mrs. Xiangguo reprimanded: "Chen Fengming, you poisoned Mrs. Yipin of the Dynasty, I am going to send you to the Zongren Mansion now, what else do you have to say?" β
Mrs. Xiangguo questioned me repeatedly, just because she was weak in heart and afraid that I still had chess pieces in my hand that could turn the table, so she wanted to interrogate me in detail before sending me to the Zongren Mansion.
But if I have a little strategy, I won't be scared in front of Xiao Sixi just now.
Just now when I gave the old lady a pulse, she was already out of breath and less in breath, look at her situation, at most she can't last tonight, she is breathing here, and I have to hurry down to accompany her.
I pushed away the two little guys who were holding me, shook my dress, and said calmly: "Now that the heat is unbearable, the Zongren Mansion must be very cool, so I'll go to the Zongren Mansion to sit down." β
Mrs. Xiangguo asked in disbelief, "What kind of tricks are you playing?" β
I sneered: "You always bother, set up the knife and burn the stove, just wait for my salted fish to go to the pot, it is difficult for you to waste such a big Zhou Zhang to deal with me, you can afford it, next time you say it directly, I will jump into the pot myself, save you from being fishy." β
Mrs. Xiangguo pretended not to understand, and ignored what I said, and directly turned sideways to get out of the way, signaling me to hurry up.
I strode forward with my head held high, and when I passed by Jiang Youtu's side, I deliberately put my foot on his hand, and then the sole of my foot crushed the back of his hand.
I didn't expect this kid to be a person, his face didn't change, and he didn't move.
I bent down and said to him: "Little lackey, they all think I am a fish under the knife, but in fact I am a piece of hob meat that cannot be cooked or chewed. β
A guy behind me pushed me and shouted unceremoniously, "Don't ink, hurry up." β
I didn't get used to him, so I rounded my arms and turned around and gave him a big mouth.
The little guy covered his face and shouted angrily at me: "I'm going to die and I'm still so arrogant!" β
I was angry, "What am I afraid of when I am about to die, you still have a few years to live, so it's best not to offend me, or I'll drag you into the water, beware that I can't stand the torture and accidentally bite you when I climb and bite." β
The little guy immediately retracted his head and took a step back.
I looked up to the sky and laughed and walked to the door.
At the door, four officers and soldiers were waiting for me with shackles and shackles.
They looked at me without fear, and even walked out of the house with a smug face, and Gu was stunned.
I took the initiative to stretch out my hands and said very heroically, "Come on, give me a handcuff." β
One of the officers and soldiers wondered: "It's really a big forest, there are all kinds of birds, the first time I saw the prisoner tied to the Zongren Mansion and was so happy, this woman can't be scared stupid." β
Zixin walked over, put a bag of silver in the hands of one of the officers and soldiers, and said, "There are a few officials." β
Several officers and soldiers nodded their heads again and again, "It's all where my job is, how embarrassing is this." As they spoke, they gathered up the money with great ease.
Ordinary officers and soldiers don't dare to accept bribes from the Prime Minister's government, in the end, they are the subordinates of the Zongren Mansion, and those who eat others are not afraid of soft-mouthed, because there is Fan Lian behind them to support them.
Fan Lian is a well-known iron-fisted cool official, cold-blooded and ruthless in handling cases, and he doesn't even give the emperor face, but the emperor only appreciates him and relies on him very much, although his official position is under Su Yi, but Fan Lian holds the golden law seal in his hand, and the documents issued by this seal are equivalent to the emperor's imperial order.
Fan Lian's frightening reputation stems from his resolute methods, and secondly, the eighteen sets of torture instruments he invented, each of which contains eighteen different torture instruments, and Fan Lian even threatened: Whoever can pass through these eighteen sets of torture instruments under his hands can be exempted from the death penalty. But most people would rather die than be punished.
I allowed a few officers and men to put shackles on me, shackles, and leg irons.
This is a specification that only the most vicious criminals deserve.
"Miss Chen, please, the villain has prepared a car for you." The officers and soldiers made a gesture of invitation to me, but their tone was not at all respectful.
I staggered to the gate of Xiangguo's mansion with my clanging chains, where a cage with a fence was parked.
That's my car.
Sitting here and being dragged to the Zongren's Mansion is tantamount to parading the streets.
After this humiliation, ordinary girls have long lost their face to live, but I am not an ordinary girl, I am thick-skinned, and my purpose is: It is better to die than to live. I'm still going to have to find a way to survive.
However, how can we break this deadlock?
Out of the gate of Xiangguo's Mansion, the four officers and soldiers immediately changed their faces, but when I boarded the car, I was half a step slower, and one of the officers and soldiers whipped me on the body, "What are you rubbing!" You are busy with official business, so I don't have time to spend here with you. β
No matter how noble the status is, as long as you enter the Zongren Mansion, you have to go to half your life if you don't die, so these officers and soldiers don't treat prisoners as human beings at all, they are going to die left and right, and they are not afraid that these prisoners will seek revenge after death.
I endured the burning pain in my back and got into the carriage, the fence door clattered behind me, and the officer who whipped me on the horse's ass and the wheel of the car turned slowly.
The space in the fence was so low and narrow that I could only sit in the car, and then put my head out of the fence, and my head stood on the very top of the car, and the person who designed the car was absolutely deliberate, just to show the prisoner's face.
Along the way, the onlookers pointed at me and criticized me, and some children even used my face as a target, grabbed stones from the ground and projected them at me.
Walking to the most lively part of the market, the officers and soldiers took out a gong and said loudly while striking the gong: "The prisoner Chen Fengming, suspected of poisoning and murdering the old lady of Xiangguo Mansion, has been arrested by my Zongren Mansion!" β
In her early years, the old lady of Xiangguofu opened a shed to give porridge and rescued many refugees, and later paid out of her own pocket to build many refugee camps in Kangjingguo, so she has a very good reputation among the people.
As soon as the officers and men carried gongs and drums to publicize this, the people around them were immediately excited, shouting loudly that they would bring me to justice.
It was the first time I had been applauded by so many people, and although it was a pour-over, I was still very excited, and I couldn't help but smile and wave to them.
My action completely angered these melon-eating people, and for a while, melons, fruits, vegetables, stones and mud fell on me like raindrops.
Alas, I know I'm quite hateful.
But the opportunity to be so noticed in this life is really rare, since you can't be famous for thousands of years, then just leave it for thousands of years, and it won't be in vain for me to come to this world.
ββ
What I didn't notice was that at this time, a familiar figure was sitting upstairs drinking tea. Seeing me waving at the people in embarrassment, he couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of tea, and then pursed his lips and muttered with a smile: "It's really you." β
