Chapter 208: Dissecting the Corpse and the Mountain Ghost of Clues and Conspiracy (Part I)

Then he came to the fasting house where the imperial doctors and folk doctors studied red sores, and the doctors and medicine children were busy going in and out.

Some are reading medical books, some are dispensing and decocting medicines, and some are observing the meridian diagram of the human body.

"Your Royal Highness, Lord Yushi has instructed your subordinates to protect your safety, so you better go back!" One of the officers and soldiers who followed said.

"I'll just go in and take a look, and there won't be any mess, there are doctors with excellent medical skills, don't worry!"

After saying that, he took Amber and Yunzhu into the medicine room.

The officers and soldiers saw that they couldn't stop her, and they couldn't annoy the county lord, so they had to follow in to prevent accidents.

The doctors in the medicine were busy with their own affairs, and they didn't look up and notice Xiao Mingyue; But Xiao Mingyue watched their every move.

What medical books everyone was reading, what kind of medicine was being caught and decocted, and what meridians were being studied, Xiao Mingyue looked at it carefully.

Then he walked up to a lame doctor and said: "This "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" is really the first strange book for the treatment of typhoid fever, but there are chapters about epidemics, but there are only a few words, and they are not of great use!"

He walked up to another medicine boy who decocted the medicine, sniffed the smell, and said, "There are white peony, salvia, andrographis, geranium seeds, skullcap, gentian, and licorice...... There should also be Poria cocos, which are good medicines for clearing heat, detoxifying and reducing swelling, but mainly for ordinary acne and herpes! And if you drink too much, it will get hot, so it's better to add a dandelion to the fire!"

Then he turned around and came to an old lady doctor who was a little older, and said, "Instead of studying this cold meridian map here, you should go and dissect the corpse quickly!"

As soon as he said this, the whole room looked at Xiao Mingyue, all of them frowned, and said disdainfully: "Who are you?" What do you know? "

"This is a medicine house, it's better to get out quickly if you have nothing to do with it!"

"I don't think this girl is very old, and her tone is not small. Could it be that he is also a doctor who comes to treat diseases? The official family really can't find anyone! Call a girl!"

"……"

"……"

They all began to talk about it.

"Shut up! This is His Royal Highness the County Lord! Don't talk nonsense!" An officer and soldier who followed behind Xiao Mingyue said.

"It's okay, tell them to say whatever they want, just say it, as long as they are willing to listen to me!" Xiao Mingyue said.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the county lord, the old man is clumsy, and he doesn't know the county lord! I hope the lord of the county will forgive his sins!" The old lady who had the most fierce number just now said.

"It turned out to be the county lord...... I'm afraid we didn't offend her just now......"

"yes...... How is this good? "

"…………"

There was another murmuring below.

"It doesn't matter, you are all experienced and experienced doctors, and naturally you will use all your life to treat those patients with red sores. However, everything must be flexible, and if you continue as you are now, I am afraid that it will only continue to delay the disease, but you will not be able to find the slightest cause!" Xiao Mingyue looked at everyone and said.

Although he was wearing the homely clothes of ordinary people, and was not wearing gold and silver beads, when he said this, he showed his feminine demeanor.

When the doctors heard this, they were all quite ashamed.

"I know that I don't have back pain when I stand and talk', and I know that this red sore is so bad, but as a doctor, I must face the difficulties. Since you can come here, you must not be greedy for life and afraid of death, either for the sake of a better life for your family, or because you can't reuse it, but no matter what the reason is, we should first 'prescribe the right medicine'. And the first thing is to find out what kind of 'bull ghost snake god' this red sore is, so my suggestion is to 'autopsy'!" Xiao Mingyue said to everyone without humility or arrogance.

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at each other, and couldn't help but have doubts about Xiao Mingyue's method.

"It's too dangerous to get close to the corpse like that, and to open the knife and study!" One said.

"Although we are not afraid of death, we can't let us die in vain!" The other said.

"What the county lord said, there is some truth, but this red sore is extremely contagious!" And another one said.

"I'm in favor of the county lord's method! I'm willing to dissect those corpses!" A teenager's voice came from a corner.

Although the sound was not loud, it was heard by the whole room.

Then an old lady doctor said angrily: "Childish, do you want to send your kid to death...... Before he finished speaking, the old lady doctor coughed.

The young man named Naïve was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a yellow complexion, and he looked a little thin, but he only had a pair of eyes, which were very bright.

looked at Xiao Mingyue and smiled.

"Childish? It's a familiar name, and I think I've seen it too. Xiao Mingyue approached and said.

The old lady doctor stopped coughing again, and said to Xiao Mingyue: "Lord Yu, this child grew up in the Tai Hospital, and was originally the Tai Doctor Zhang who was convicted by the previous dynasty, but then no one took him with him, because there was an urgent need for medicine here, so he was sent here!"

"I remember, you originally followed Imperial Doctor Zhang. I've grown a lot taller!" Xiao Mingyue said.

"I listen to the county lord, start with those corpses, I'm not afraid of death!" The childish man said firmly.

"I also agree with the county lord's approach, we people have been looking for a long way to find a way, and we have prepared a lot of medicines, but to no avail, it is better to fight to the death, find out the source to get the medicine, if you can't find the worst, you will just lose your life, and it will not be a doctor in vain, and our family will also get a lot of silver because of this, maybe we can also leave a name in history!" A folk doctor said.

This person has red phoenix eyes, dark skin, and rough fingers, which can be seen to be caused by years of going up the mountain to collect medicine.

Then he said to Xiao Mingyue: "In Xialiu Chang'an, he was originally a rural village doctor, but he had already heard of the county lord's reputation!"

Xiao Mingyue looked at Liu Changan and nodded and smiled: "Doctor Liu has won the award." But I want to thank Dr. Liu!"

"This Dr. Liu said it well! Whether you succeed or not, I will give each of you a hundred taels of silver, enough for your family to live, and I will also write to your Majesty, and leave your name in the history books. And I'll dissect the corpse with you!" Xiao Mingyue said.

After speaking, everyone admired Xiao Mingyue's courage very much, and also agreed with the conditions given by Xiao Mingyue.

"Miss, are you really going to dissect the corpse? It's too dangerous, isn't it?!" Amber asked Xiao Mingyue.

"Didn't I say it, the so-called 'if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger', I don't believe that this red sore is more difficult to deal with than the evil ghost!" Xiao Mingyue made up her mind and said.

"The slave and maid will also go with the lord of the county." Yunzhu said.

…………

In the morgue, several corpses that had just died were tightly wrapped in white cloth, emitting a foul smell.

The room was sprinkled with lime powder, everyone was tightly masked, their hands and exposed arms were coated with realgar, and a large pot of Tusu wine was prepared to be disinfected before and after the autopsy.

"Without further ado, let's do it!" Xiao Mingyue said.

Zhiru and Liu Changan each dissected two corpses, Xiao Mingyue asked Amber and Yunzhu to help Zhiru and Liu Changan respectively, and Xiao Mingyue and another old lady dissected the third corpse, helping her from time to time, and two other doctors dissected the last corpse.

The white cloth was opened, the corpse was disinfected with Tusu wine, the knife was opened, and the corpse was decomposed, from the throat to the lungs to the stomach and intestines, and even the heart, nowhere was left.

Strangely, everyone's internal organs were rotten and eaten by tiny maggots, but their lower bodies were intact, with no sores or rotting, both men and women, young and old.

"I think this red sore is caused by a lesion in one of the organs of the body, from the inside out!" Xiao Mingyue said.

"They're fishermen who don't have anything else to do but go out to sea. Could it be because you ate some food from the sea?!" Liu Changan said.

"Probably not. We have investigated, the last time these fishermen went out to sea to fish, almost all the fish, shrimp, crabs, and mussels they obtained were sold to the people of Rongcheng, but we didn't see anything wrong with those people!" An officer and soldier guarding the house said.

"That's something else!" Liu Changan said.

"Did you check the well?!" Xiao Mingyue continued to ask.

"I checked, the well was clean, brought in from the underground river. All of us eat the water from the dark river!" The officer continued.

"The underground river leads in all directions, have you all found out?!" The childish man asked.

"Yes! Except for a few fishing villages where the accident occurred, have other places been checked?!" Xiao Mingyue asked.

…………

After several people discussed, Xiao Mingyue asked Lord Zhu for more than a dozen officers and soldiers, took Amber, Yunzhu and Zhiru and Liu Changan to the first fishing village where the accident occurred.

And that once a lively fishing village with hundreds of people became a deserted village in a few days, and not even a single bird was willing to fall.

It was dusk, the sun was about to set, and there were only two crows chirping in the treetops in the distance.

"It's so eerie and weird." Yun Zhu said with his arms crossed.

"What are you afraid of, with the county lord and so many officers and soldiers here, even if there are really ghosts, what can you do?!" Amber boldly walked in front of the cloud beads.

A group of people patrolled the surroundings, trying to find a glimmer of life.

"Bang!" There was a bang, and everyone was shocked.

"I'm sorry! It was I who accidentally stepped on the plank!" Amber said embarrassedly.

"Be careful!" Xiao Mingyue admonished.

Then, an officer and soldier quickly ran over and said to Xiao Mingyue and the others: "There is a person over there!"

When the people heard this, they were shocked and hurried to the place where there were people.

When I got to the place where there were people, I saw a ragged old man eating the leg of a cat, and if it wasn't for the dusk, it would be easy to be mistaken for a wild ghost.

"Who are you? Why are you here?!" An officer asked.

"Dead! They're all dead! There's no one to play with me anymore! It's all called the mountain ghosts to take it away!" Lao Su said.

"Who? Where are the mountain ghosts?!" Xiao Mingyue asked.

"Sister Fairy, you are a mountain ghost! You are hungry to eat people's souls, don't eat me!" Lao Suo said madly.

"Bold! Don't be rude!" The leading officers and soldiers scolded Lao Suo.

"Don't scare him, look at him alone, delirious, take it back!" Xiao Mingyue said.
