Zhou Heng unfolded the paper and looked up and down, this paper was very old, it was a pulse case diagnosis, and the handwriting was written by Liu Chengjie, and the diagnosis above was similar to what Zhou Heng just said.

At first, the injury was stable, slightly hot, dry mouth and lethargy, and after two or three days, he began to have a high fever and convulsions, and then he couldn't feed it, and he vomited when he poured the decoction.

The wound was cut open and drained several times, the leg was swollen but the surface had healed, and the wound at the collarbone was ulcerated and pus, apparently this was the diagnosis and treatment carried out after returning to Beijing.

Seeing the end, Zhou Heng calculated carefully, Liu Chengjie was diagnosed and treated for a total of eight days, and finally he was helpless, seeing the death of the eldest son, Zhou Heng closed the paper and returned it to Pang Xiao.

"If there is no penicillin, Liu Yanjie has already tried his best to hold on for eight days, as for who can quietly make the great prince hurt and injured, this still needs to be investigated.

What I can give is that although Da Shizi was seriously injured, his life was not fatal, and the initial diagnosis and treatment and treatment were very good, according to the analysis of the bone callus began to appear, he was recuperating normally for at least half a month to twenty days, and the second time he was injured and died of high fever, that is, eight or nine days.

This person is very knowledgeable about medical science, and knows that the wound infected and suppurative can be fatal, and this person should always be by the side of the great prince, because the time of this second trauma must be controlled, and if he dies on the way back, it is estimated that it will be a different scene, and if he dies when he returns to the capital, King Ning will also suspect the cause of death. ”

Pang Xiao narrowed his eyes, this is the key to the problem.

"The prince was anxious when he heard the news, and rushed back to the capital at that time, and he really thought about who did it, and he really doubted the emperor, after all, when he came back from Liaobei, he didn't worry about his life, and the big deal was that he was not good at acting.

If it was really done when he was close to the capital, then the thoughts of the person behind this were too vicious, this was to let King Ning rebel and usurp the throne, so what benefits can this person get? ”

Zhou Heng paused, this matter seemed to be foggy, but at this moment, if it was pushed backwards, it seemed that it was not so difficult to analyze it from the perspective of the profiteer.

On the surface, if King Ruoning rebelled, the most direct beneficiary was Zhu Yunmo, after all, Lao Tzu became the emperor, and he became the prince justifiably, but at that time he was just a child, and his grandfather Wei Guogong's family hated him more than he loved.

But Zhu Xiaochang is different, Wei Guogong originally recommended Zhu Xiaochang as the prince, this support is not a joke, Wei Guogong's influence in the army is not to say, raising his arms and shouting rarely does not respond, this is also the place where the old emperor was afraid at that time.

As for the Wen family, not to mention, Wen Changjin and his younger brother, this is the most influential person in the Wen family, the household is in charge of money and food, and Fujian is directly controlled.

Zhou Heng raised his head, what he could think of, Pang Xiao could naturally think of, the two glanced at each other, Pang Xiao had a clear look, he couldn't stay here for a long time now.

"Uncle......

As soon as this salutation was called, the person who let the wind came over and rushed directly to Pang Xiao, without avoiding Zhou Heng, and said quickly:

"The guards came and asked if we had finished repairing, and a few of them were waiting outside the corridor without leaving."

Pang Xiao nodded, "You go and delay for a while, and take out a little bit of the arrogance of the factory guard." ”

The man hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said yes, and then rushed out, Pang Xiao waved his hand.

"Hurry up and get back to the way it was."

Zhou Heng looked down at the femur on the chair, this thing is still outside, what should I do if it returns to its original state?

"What should I do with Xiao Bo's femur, don't you put it back?"

Pang Xiao paused, followed Zhou Heng's movements and clamped the femur left and right, jumped onto the top of the coffin, put the bones back, and then made a quick movement in his hands, directly changed the pants that had just been damaged, and sorted out his clothes completely.

As soon as he landed, the rest of the people hurriedly restored the coffin, and the nails were all nailed down according to their original positions, and as for the piece that fell from the top of the tomb, naturally someone had already repaired it.

Pang Xiao looked around and saw that there was nothing missing, so he turned around and walked towards the outside of the tomb, and Zhou Heng followed closely.

At this time, there is no politeness to talk about, you can't guarantee that everyone has the same mind, in case you are far away from Pang Xiao, it is too late to be plotted to cry.

When you come in, you are cautious, and when you go out, you go out much faster, and as you walk, the people behind you keep turning out the oil lamps, as if the darkness behind is constantly chasing everyone.

Walking out of the doorway, several guards stood in front of the door, as if they were still reasoning with the person who had just come up.

As soon as Pang Xiao came out, their argument stopped, Pang Xiao didn't stop, walked directly in front of the man, raised his hand and slapped two big mouths, and with all his strength in each slap, the man was directly knocked to the ground.

However, after being beaten, he lost the arrogance just now, and quickly knelt on one knee and clasped his fists to salute, and before he could speak, Pang Xiao kicked again, directly kicking the person over.

The man and several guards behind him quickly all knelt down, and waited for Pang Xiao's orders with their hands lowered in an orderly manner.

"It's so majestic, the factory guards are doing things, when do I need to explain to you? It's really a joke, I want to explain to find my godfather Fang Jizhong, or go directly to the palace to find the emperor, let's withdraw! ”

Pang Xiao's voice was originally sharp, but now he deliberately speaks, and his voice is even younger, if he doesn't distinguish it carefully, it sounds more like Fang Hua's voice.

Following Pang Xiao's instructions, these people quickly moved out of the way, Pang Xiao led everyone out of the cemetery with a swagger, and a puff of smoke and dust disappeared on the pipe.

The guard who had been beaten just now, obviously the head of the place, raised his hand to cover his cheek, without a trace of displeasure, and the guards on his side surrounded him.

"The wound on your face is okay, should we report it?"

The man raised his eyebrows, withdrew his gaze from the official road, and fell directly on the kid who spoke, raising his hand and nodding his forehead.

"If you want to die, I will fulfill you now, and someone will tie him up for me, and beat him with a hundred sticks in the name of stealing property."

The man was stupid, he didn't expect the head to have such a reaction, and when he saw that there was no joke on his face, with a murderous look in his eyes, he quickly hugged his thigh as his legs were weak.

"Boss, I'm confused for a while, what you need to do is what you command, the little one doesn't dare anymore!"

The man was deflated, and when he looked around, the guards guarding the tomb were terrified, after all, they had never seen this battle.

"Get up, don't blame me for not reminding me, who came today, what did you do, none of you saw it, said a word, everyone standing here today will die, not only we die, your family will not be spared, okay, let's disperse, send two people to clean up."

These people were frightened half to death, and hurriedly dispersed the birds and beasts, which needed to be cleaned where naturally there was no need to command, and after a short time the entire cemetery returned to its original silence, and the head sighed.

"Hey, a stupid boy, I really don't know death, this kind of thing, if I know too much, I will kill myself, I can come in wearing the clothes of the factory guard, my face is still disfigured, and I go straight to the mausoleum of the great prince, what kind of person is this asking a fart, this is self-evident!"

After speaking, he raised his head and took a sip of wine, staring blankly into the distance, not knowing what to think, and not paying attention to the finger prints on his cheeks at all.

......

Zhou Heng rode his horse in fear and followed the team back to the courtyard.

After walking again, he found that this was a mansion on the west side of the capital, which was considered a wealthy area of the capital, second only to the neighborhood where the eunuchs lived.

Zhou Heng didn't say much, entered the courtyard and dismounted, followed Pang Xiao into a room, on the table was the shirt that Zhou Heng was wearing before, Zhou Heng glanced at Pang Xiao, and hurriedly went to the inner room to change in, and when he came out, Pang Xiao had already removed the brocade robe.

Pang Xiao got up and bowed to Zhou Heng.

"Thank you Uncle Zhou today, I'll send you back later, and as for the rest of the matter, we will start investigating."

Zhou Heng nodded, he really couldn't help with the follow-up, after all, this was ten years ago, and he didn't know who was in contact with him at that time, and he didn't know who would return with him, if it was so easy, he wouldn't delay this matter for so long.

"Is Xiao Bo going back to Datong directly, or staying in the capital?"

"The news will be sent back from the prince, we won't go back for the time being, but we have a special identity and won't show up."

Zhou Heng thought about it, but still said:

"A few days ago, Xiao Bo must have known about Beishan."

Pang Xiao nodded, "I didn't know at first, but then it was announced that these implicated officials were related to the Jinwu Sect, and I understand that this series of actions is naturally the reason, all the villages and towns around the capital have almost all been carefully investigated, and they have not been able to act like this for many years." ”

Zhou Heng nodded, "It's because of this, the factory guards are now investigating very strictly, Xiao Bo still has to be careful, as for the investigation, he still has to find out from the people accompanying Da Shizi."

The weather was cold back then, so it was not easy to find something that could cause abscess and ulceration, and this person could still calculate the time, which was definitely done by the people around him. ”

Pang Xiao nodded, hesitated slightly, looked at Zhou Heng and said:

"Because of the death of the eldest prince, His Majesty was furious and killed many people, and several doctors who treated the eldest prince in northern Liaobei, as well as the personal guards of the eldest prince, were not spared, and when the prince and I came back, everyone had been executed.

However, I heard General Cang say that Wen had sent people to wait for the carriage and horses of the great prince north of Chengde, and when the prince came back to ask, Wen said that he had not sent it, and he did not know about it, it was more chaotic at the time, Wen was crying and fainting for a while, and he was going to hang himself for a while, Zhu Xiaochang also had a high fever and did not go away, and the prince did not investigate deeply. ”

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes and carefully calculated the distance.

"If you really wait near Chengde, then from there to return to Beijing, that is, a day or two away, the time is completely right, I am just thinking about the pus so infected, how did they get it?"

For Pang Xiao, he didn't know anything, he looked at Zhou Heng and didn't rush to move, after all, only Zhou Heng can help now, and the mystery that has been plagued for many years seems to be about to be revealed.

Zhou Heng closed his eyes slightly, overturning his previous speculation that infection with Staphylococcus aureus here could cause such a high fever.

However, this kind of germ has too high requirements for temperature, not to mention the cold, even if it is below 10 degrees, it is easy to lose its activity, if it is lower than minus 15 degrees Celsius, it should be able to be eliminated.

If the temperature is low and can be stored for such a long time, then Salmonella is the most likely to appear, even intestinal infections are easy to cause osteomyelitis, if the wound is directly infected, then the consequences are terrible.

And the cholera caused by salmonella and many germs with cell buds can be said to be deadly plagues in this era, thinking of the plague, Zhou Heng's movements paused, and he frowned and looked at Pang Xiao.

Pang Xiao lost his previous calmness, and Zhou Heng's action made his heart suddenly sink, and he hurried closer.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Bo, ten years ago, before the accident of Da Shizi, there was a plague somewhere in Daliang, do you know this, what I said is a very big plague, and the DPRK should have a record of such a disaster relief, right? You know I'm memory loss, I don't remember any of that. ”

Pang Xiao thought about it carefully, "When the eldest prince had an accident, it was close to the Chinese New Year, and that year Sichuan floods, ground movements, and mountain fires were disaster relief three times, and I haven't paid attention to other small disaster relief, it seems that there are also a small number of locust plagues in Shanxi."

Wait a minute...... Fujian, I remember, there seems to be an epidemic in Fujian after mid-autumn, and the disaster relief officials sent by the imperial court and the former Fujian political envoy also unfortunately contracted the disease and died.

According to the news that dozens of villages along the way were empty, corpses were everywhere, the smell of corruption spread far away, and the livestock could not be spared. ”

In the end, Pang Xiao's speed of speech slowed down, although he was old, his brain was extremely sufficient, he looked at Zhou Heng in an instant, his eyes shook, and then he became a little more determined.

"I guess you must have thought of something when you ask this, right? Could it be that there is an inside story in this? ”

"What was his previous position? How to be ordered in danger? ”

Pang Xiao sighed, "I don't know the specific reason, but I heard that Qin Cha was infected with the plague just after arriving in Fujian, and died violently on three days, and the original political envoy died immediately on the second day."

His Majesty received the document of 800 miles urgently, and he was a little anxious at that time, and asked that no one in the court was willing to go, Wen Changjin stood up at that time, saying that he was virtuous and did not avoid relatives, and he recommended his third brother to take over as the political envoy of Fujian.

At that time, the third child of the Wen family seemed to be the right participant in politics in Fujian, and His Majesty directly issued an order, and the epidemic gradually stabilized in the following two months, and His Majesty rewarded a lot of property, which can be regarded as a good story. But what does this have to do with the death of the great son? ”

Zhou Heng took a deep breath and took off the small bag on his waist, Pang Xiao knew that this bag was full of various instruments used in surgery, which he had just used during the bone examination.

Zhou Heng carefully put on his gloves, poured out the contents of the bag, and opened a small box, which contained the remaining tip of the knife.

"In winter, even the temperature in Fujian is not very high, so the general epidemic can be controlled in winter, you say that the epidemic in Fujian is under control after two months, not completely eliminated, otherwise there will be no such news back, it should be a report of great victory.

It can be stored for a long time, and it is not afraid of low temperatures, it seems that we have found something on the tip of this knife, but in order to verify, I will go back and try to cultivate it, if it is really something I suspect, I think the Wen family is the initiator. ”

Pang Xiao's face was a little cold, he looked at Zhou Heng and paused for a moment, repeating Zhou Heng's words.

"Wen family? If it is really the Wen family, is their mind that position? ”
