Zhou Heng glanced at him and stood behind the shopkeeper, leaving a distance of two steps.

Where to stand?

They are neither plaintiffs nor defendants, and it is not appropriate to stand anywhere, so it is better not to be conspicuous.

At this moment, a young man in a purple official robe walked out of the back hall, and He Zhu bowed his head and clenched his fists.

"Lord Hui County, the person has been brought!"

The magistrate waved his sleeves, "Ascend to the court to ask the case!" ”

Zhou Heng looked around, the servants in this hall did not shout for promotion, but just held the killing rod and stared angrily ahead, he lowered his gaze to reduce his sense of existence.

With a snap, the county magistrate slapped his head in shock, cleared his throat and asked:

"Who are the plaintiffs?"

The shopkeeper Huang led the people and quickly knelt on the ground, "Huang Zongming, the grass man, is the shopkeeper of the Xinglin Medical Center." ”

"Oh, get up and talk back, who are you accusing?"

The shopkeeper, although he was scared at this time, also knew that this was the last chance to clear his name, so he quickly thanked him and straightened up.

"Six days ago, the deceased He Dazhuang came to the hospital for consultation, he had a dull pain in the upper part of his right abdomen for more than half a year, his eyes were red, his mouth was bitter, his face was black and thin, and his abdomen was as big as a dustpan.

Zhou Heng made a judgment in his heart when he heard this, this deceased has a long medical history, it is definitely not a simple dull pain, it should be a liver tumor, to put it bluntly, it is an advanced liver cancer, but such a medical condition, relying on traditional Chinese medicine alone, is indeed incurable.

"I keep the bottom prescription for the medicine prescribed by Xinglin Medical Center, and it is also marked with what the grass people said just now."

As he spoke, Doctor Ma pulled out a notebook from his arms and folded a page, handed it to the officer beside him, and the officer hurriedly handed the notebook to the magistrate in the hall.

The shopkeeper continued: "At the end of today, He Dazhuang's family carried his body directly to the medical hall, saying that we poisoned He Dazhuang and wanted to pay for our lives. This Xinglin Medical Center was founded by the grandfather of the grass people, has been open for nearly 65 years, and has never treated people, so today the grass people can only sue He Dazhuang's relatives for the crime of false accusation, please ask the county lord to be the master of the grass people, the autopsy to find out the cause of death, and the grass people are innocent! ”

Zhou Heng wanted to applaud the shopkeeper, these words were level, neither humble nor arrogant, and now it depends on how the county decides.

Before Zhixian could speak, the woman knelt down and prostrated several steps.

"Lord County, the women are wronged!"

Zhixian's face sank, and he was shocked, "Hugh is noisy!" Who is kneeling in the hall? ”

He Dazhuang's daughter-in-law was startled, forgot to cry, and quickly prostrate on the ground, trembling all over her body and said:

"The people's woman Wang is He Dazhuang's wife, those are my two sons, these are cousins of my husband's family, and our family lives in Xiegou Ya Village outside Qingping County."

The magistrate glanced at it, there were enough people here, all of them were dressed very plainly, all of them were coarse cloth clothes with patches, on the other hand, Huang Zongming and they looked much more decently dressed.

Zhixian said: "Okay, get up, Wang will tell me how He Dazhuang died!" ”

Wang got up, and the two boys stood back.

Wang wiped the tears on his face and said: "The husband of the people's woman, who is in good health on weekdays, I don't know if it is a bad stomach or what, I have some abdominal distension for two consecutive days, I came to the county seat to see a doctor on the sixth day, and I grabbed the medicine in the Xinglin Medical Center, and I vomited a few times after I went back to eat it, and last night, the person suddenly had convulsions and died." ”

Speaking of this, it seemed that he felt aggrieved, and Wang fell to his knees again.

"The woman has brought back the leftover medicine residue, please take a look at the county lord, my husband died after eating this soup, please be the master of the county!"

After saying that, bang kowtow one after another, the person carrying the stick, at this time the stick was gone, and he held a clay pot high in his hand, and the messenger stepped forward to take the jar and send it to the magistrate.

Na Zhixian looked inside the jar, frowned slightly, and looked at a master beside him, who hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words to him.

Zhou Heng raised his eyes and peeked, how to identify this boiled medicinal herb requires a very professional doctor to do it, it is impossible for ordinary people to identify, I don't know who this county can invite to identify.

If the fair doctor is okay, if he finds Huang Zongming's nemesis, then ......

At this time, the master beside Zhixian hugged his fists, bowed down and walked quickly towards the door.

The magistrate asked some more details, but Zhou Heng didn't listen carefully, just stared at the dead on the ground, if only he could lift the mat, so he observed more carefully.

About a cup of tea later, the master walked in with two old men, who seemed to be in a hurry, and the two old men were already a little panting, and their foreheads were full of sweat.

The magistrate raised his eyes and saw that the person who came pointed to the clay pot, "Come on, take the clay pot to the two doctors to see, identify what the medicinal materials are inside, and then transcribe it!" ”

Zhou Heng hurriedly looked at Huang Zongming, and saw that he didn't have a particularly surprised expression, so he was a little relieved, it seemed that he knew these two doctors.

The two men poured the dregs from the clay pot onto the table and began to pick them one by one.

In such a hot weather, the medicine residue already had a sour and rotten atmosphere, but the two of them were completely unaffected, constantly distinguishing and tasting, classifying these medicine residues, and then recording them, and finally handing over the results of the records.

"Lord County, the slag has been checked, and there are fried bupleurum, flea, Poria cocos, red peony, white peony, madder, angelica, tulip, incense, skullcap, curcuma, whole melon, raw turtle shell, knotweed, and meat. There are a total of fifteen herbs, which should be a soup of bupleurum fleas for the treatment of liver disease. ”

The magistrate realized, and Dr. Nama and Huang Zongming also breathed a sigh of relief.

After a pause, the old doctor continued:

"However, the meat in this medicine jar is not really the meat, but a kind of Nantian bamboo that looks similar to it, a small amount of Nantian bamboo can treat cough disease, but this substance is poisonous, if you have liver disease, you will vomit bitterly after eating, until you have convulsions and coma."

When Wang heard this, he plopped down and fell to his knees again.

"Before my husband died violently, this was the symptom!"

Nazhi County was also stunned, Huang Zongming was surprised, Nantianzhu is also a medicinal herb, there is indeed one in the store, but it is still very different from the meat, how could it be possible to catch the wrong medicine, he immediately knelt down.

"Lord County, can you let the grass people take a look?"

With a wave of his hand, Huang Zongming got up and walked to the front of the case, grabbed a red fruit that had been boiled and carefully identified it, he was instantly cold, this was really Nantianzhu.

Huang Zongming's legs were weak and he fell directly to the ground.

"Lord County, this is indeed Nantian Bamboo, but the medicinal materials that we went out of the Xinglin Medical Center need to be checked by the doctor again, although this meat is similar to Nantian Bamboo after boiling, it is very easy to distinguish when it is born, and there will be no such mistakes, I hope that Lord County Zun will see it."

Nama Dafu and Desheng also fell to their knees in an instant, claiming to be wronged.

Zhixian looked at one of the old doctors, "What does Doctor Qu think?" ”

The old doctor pulled his beard together, "If this recipe is fried by the medical hall, then there is no need to distinguish it, it must be the reason of the medical hall, but this medicine is brought back by the patient to decoction by himself, and there are variables in it. ”

Zhou Heng raised his eyes and took a closer look at the old doctor, this was too level, and neither side could be offended.

The medicine is very easy to distinguish, it just depends on whether you want it or not, the deceased took it back and cooked it yourself, who knows if you added it yourself or not?

This eats too much salt, and the speech is different.

However, Na Zhixian had already frowned at this time, Zhou Heng slowly moved two steps forward, and seeing that no one was watching, he raised his foot and kicked Huang Zongming's foot.

Huang Zongming was still kneeling on the ground at this time, sensing the movement behind him, and hurriedly looked back, Zhou Heng raised his hand and pointed to the deceased on the wooden board, and said two words with his mouth, 'Autopsy'.

Huang Zongming instantly understood that no matter how much he argued at this time, he couldn't get a result, so it was better to let Rang do an autopsy.

Huang Zongming hurriedly kowtowed again and said loudly:

"Lord County, you can't distinguish it after such an endless debate, so it's better to let the autopsy be done."
