Chapter 201: Changes in Southern Sichuan

Zhou Heng looked at Zhang Fuling, spread his palms and said:

"When a person is burned unintentionally, they will dodge or shake it, so that the fingers will have a scar, and this scar is limited to the palm of the hand, and it shows horizontal lines, which is obviously not an accidental burn."

Zhang Fuling thought for a while and nodded, "It makes sense, this is more like deliberate." ”

Zhou Heng continued: "Then the question is, who would be so determined to deliberately burn his palm? You must know that the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the palm of the hand is an extremely sensitive position, and the cuts here are more painful than other parts, not to mention such a serious burn? As the adults said just now, even if it is tortured, most of them are above the chest and abdomen, and people who are basically burned will stop when they faint in pain, but this is different, it seems that the scalding has been repeated many times, and it has reached deep into the metacarpal bones, and the fingers have atrophied because of this scar, so they are hooked like chicken feet, which is not a pain that ordinary people can endure. ”

Zhang Wanxun listened to it for a long time, and generally understood what Zhou Heng meant, but his personality was a little impatient, and he stepped forward and asked:

"Doctor Zhou, don't sell it, what do you mean by falling to the ground?"

Zhou Heng didn't care about Zhang Wanxun's attitude, picked up the teacup and poured a bowl of hot tea on Zhang Wanxun's palm, and instantly Zhang Wanxun screamed, jumping and shaking his palm.

"Ah, what are you doing here, burning me?"

Zhou Heng grabbed Zhang Wanxun's hand, "This teacup has been placed for a while, and the water in the cup is no longer boiling, so it is less than one hundred degrees, and if the iron is burned red, it will turn red at least more than five hundred degrees, which is five or six times the temperature that was splashed on the hand of Captain Zhang just now, how to endure such a temperature, this person must be very decisive." So that is to say, there is something in his palm that has to be removed by this method, so he did this, just now I thought of the punishment, but this is a knife mark on the face, and then the ink is dyed, and the skin and muscles are blackened, but the palm really doesn't know what else to explain. ”

Zhou Heng's words made Zhang Fuling and Zhang Wanxun pause, and then glanced at each other, Zhang Fuling stroked his beard and paused for a moment before speaking.

"Many years ago, I took over a corruption case, captured a murderer, is in the palm of the black mark carved by the knife, after interrogation, I learned that this mark is the town of southern Sichuan Mu Wang family raised by the dead soldier, so far only to find the clue, after investigation, found that Mu Wang plotted a change, when the government and the opposition were shaken, was implicated as many as 100 officials, this is the change in southern Sichuan in the early years of Xuanhua."

Zhou Heng was also stunned, he was really a little confused about the era name of the Great Liang Kingdom, obviously an emperor was still alive to change the year name.

Of course, in addition to those who have special hobbies, such as Wu Zetian is extremely good, he changed his name by thirteen years in the fifteenth year of the emperor, if you don't specialize in studying that period of history, you can be confused.

However, such an emperor is really very rare, unless there is some big change at that time.

I remember that Liu Renli said at that time that he was a jinshi in the second year of Xuanhua, and he was embarrassed to ask the reason when he wanted to ask.

However, Zhu Yunmo and Pang Xiao, when they heard about this change in southern Sichuan, their faces instantly became a little ugly.

Zhang Fuling sighed, "All the imperial relatives, that is, many of them were convicted and exiled after the change in southern Sichuan, I think that although the prince was young at that time, he should have heard of it, and in the following years, the garrisons in various places changed frequently, and the fiefs were recovered and the vassal kings were abolished in that year." ”

Zhu Yunmo nodded, "My father has never returned to the capital since the beginning of Xuanhua, and I haven't seen my father for ten years." ”

Zhou Heng raised his eyes to look at Zhu Yunmo, his eyes were looking to the north, ten years ago he was still a child, at this moment King Ning didn't even remember what he looked like, so he followed an old eunuch to live in the capital, and then he was crowned with a stubborn illness and sent to the plum garden to recuperate.

All of this stems from the title of this prince, if his brother is still there, or the son of the Wen family is made the son, this will not be the case, so the root cause is that the emperor does not want Ning Wangfu to be peaceful, with such a title, it feels ridiculous to think about it.

King Ning?

The prince who is not at peace.

Zhou Heng glanced at Zhu Yunmo, any comfort at this time seemed so weak, so it was better not to say it, Zhang Fuling's face looked a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that talking about the changes in southern Sichuan would make Zhu Yunmo so sad.

Zhou Heng stood up and coughed slightly, and looked at Zhang Fuling with a smile.

"If you follow what Master Zhang said, then it can be regarded as having a direction, but these are all ten years ago, even if some people live incognito to this day, the age is not too young, unless they have not died down, just ready to go, waiting for the opportunity?"

Zhang Fuling was stunned, these simply made him dare not think, so among these corrupt people, there are also the remnants of King Mu back then, or the people he once cultivated, these people just want to touch the mark of the past, so they are so ruthless to themselves.

Zhou Heng looked at Zhang Fuling, his face became more and more pale, he knew without asking, he figured out the whole story, seeing that Zhang Fuling wanted to get up and say goodbye, Zhou Heng hurriedly stood up first.

"Master Zhang, after talking about your business, I still have something to say."

Zhang Fuling paused and looked at Zhou Heng.

"Doctor Zhou, please speak."

Zhou Heng took out a porcelain bottle from his body, on which was written Sanqi to stop bleeding, and on the stopper of the bottle mouth was the seal of the three words of the imperial pharmacy.

Zhang Fuling looked at the medicine bottle for a moment, a little puzzled, Zhou Heng asked directly without pausing:

"This medicine is the medicine used to escort Captain Zhang to Qingping County on the way, you don't know anything about this if you don't do this business, but you can come up and smell what it smells like in this bottle."

Zhang Fuling stepped forward and sniffed carefully, and after a period of not strong medicinal smell, he seemed to be able to smell some special smells, but for a while, Zhang Fuling was a little puzzled.

"It seems to have something other than the smell of medicine, but I can't figure out what it is for a while."

Zhang Wanxun also saw this medicine bottle for the first time, although he had used it for him before, but he was drowsy and didn't care much, but the medicine bottle was poured out and smelled a little, and Zhang Wanxun paused in an instant.

"Is this a musty smell, this herb is moldy, or is there something mixed in it, how can this smell appear?"

Zhou Heng took out some bottles from the box, which were also bottles of various colors, and there were all kinds of medicinal materials, basically some medicinal powders to stop bleeding and remove saprophytic muscle.

Zhou Heng unplugged all of them and put them on the table, so that Zhang Fuling and Zhang Wanxun all came over, Zhang Wanxun raised them and smelled them one by one with a panic in his eyes, and each bottle had a more or less moldy smell.

He hurriedly turned around and looked at Zhang Fuling, "My lord, smell it quickly, this medicine ...... Why does this medicine smell like this? ”

Zhang Fuling and Zhu Yunmo also came over, Zhu Yunmo knew it, after all, Zhou Heng had already said it before.

And Zhang Fuling smelled them one by one, and then looked at Zhou Heng.

"Doctor Zhou, just tell me, there's a problem with this medicine, right?"

Zhou Heng sighed slightly, sat on the chair and said slowly:

"From the capital to Jining, it took almost six days, according to the biography of Lord Zhang's flying pigeon, although the chief of the guard Zhang lost too much blood, he did not have any worries about his life, after all, the imperial doctor took care of it properly. However, my student followed Xiao Bo to Jining to pick up people, and when he saw Captain Zhang, he was really frightened, and the whole person was dying, with a high fever, and the wounds on his entire chest were bleeding pus. ”

Zhou Heng said a little excitedly, and the person also stood up, unfolding the shirt that Zhang Wanxun was wearing before, all of which were yellow marks, as well as diluted blood stains, looking at the area, he knew that the amount of liquid oozing was very large.

Handing the robe to Zhang Fuling, Zhou Heng then continued:

"This is the cold weather, if it is summer, I am afraid that all the flies will be recruited, then the imperial doctor has been taking care of it, and he can take medicine at any time, but not only does it not get better, but it is getting more and more serious, Xiao Bo detained the imperial doctor, I checked these medicines and found that these bottles of medicine, six bottles have more or less moldy and spoiled medicinal materials, and some of the whole bottles of medicine powder have turned green, this is not a life-saving medicine for healing, it is called a murder poison."

Zhang Fuling looked at Zhou Heng and thought for a while before he spoke:

"If this medicine is used on Zhang Wanxun alone, but the medicine has been artificially replaced, it is not too worrying. But if all the medicines in the imperial pharmacy of the Tai Hospital are like this, then this is simply terrible, you must know that these knife wound medicinal materials in this imperial pharmacy are all used on the generals, and there are not many things that need to be used in the real palace. I remember that last winter, General Huo was seriously injured and was sent back to the capital from Liaobei for treatment, but in the end he died of his injuries, is it ...... Is it ......?"
