Chapter 196: The Hall Fiercely Discerns Righteousness
Everyone didn't expect that Lu Wutai's physical condition was already so bad before eating fish, and they were a little suspicious in their hearts, but according to Li Mi's meaning, could Lu Wutai still be killed by a boat nail?
It's a big joke!
Let a boat nail pierce the sole of the foot and die, and eat a cerium fish and die, everyone knows which one to believe!
However, in the face of these doubts and ridicule, Li Mi was unmoved, and explained to everyone.
"Don't underestimate this nail, the nail on this sea ship, the wind blows the water, it is easy to rust, and it is easy to suffer from a disease caused by rusty iron, this disease is called tetanus, if you don't get timely treatment, it will kill people!"
"Tetanus? What is this disease? ”
"I've never heard of this disease......
"I'm afraid that he's making it up again, and you can use a colleague here who is proficient in the art of ambiguity?"
Li Mi actually didn't know the bottom in his heart, because he was not a professional doctor, and he didn't know much about the history of medical development, especially ancient Western medicine.
So he didn't dare to be sure whether tetanus was defined as a disease in ancient times, after all, tetanus was caused by germs, and all Li Mi knew was the definition and treatment methods of Western medicine.
Sure enough, when Li Mi opened his mouth, Zhao Yanyang and Fan Rongkuan suddenly couldn't sit still.
"Li Mi, I know you care about your master, but you are also a patrolman, how can you indiscriminately climb these things that you don't have!" Fan Rongkuan's patience is also limited, Li Mi has stirred up the situation here three or four times, and he has nowhere to vent his frustration and anger!
However, Li Mi shook his head and said to Fan Rongkuan: "My lord doesn't know, this tetanus is caused by germs, even a small wound is enough to kill, at that time, the wound may bleed less, feel a little pain, and then swell, but soon the neck will be far-fetched, the side is not profitable, and it is difficult to swallow the sticky hook......"
"If you have tetanus, the texture is involved, you will have a wry smile, dizzy eyes, convulsions, angular arch reflexion, high fever, coma, convulsions, and the sound of throat phlegm is like a saw, and you will eventually die of suffocation!"
Li Mi said the specific symptoms, and Zhai Yuantang was also shocked, but he didn't expect Li Mi to be there in person, as if he had seen Lu Wutai's symptoms with his own eyes!
"The words of the general arrest are consistent with the general signs!" Zhai Yuantang is Lu Wutai's personal entourage, and he knows Lu Wutai's condition best, and he exclaimed so much at this time, it can be seen that he has believed it thoroughly, and everyone is inevitably a little hesitant.
This tetanus is also called four six winds, the reason why it is named four six, because after being infected with tetanus, it usually occurs within three to seven days, and the condition deteriorates sharply, if it is not effectively controlled, it will also kill people!
The timing of the outbreak of this disease also varies from person to person, and in some cases there are outbreaks within 24 hours, and it is not uncommon for people to die suddenly due to tetanus.
Lu Wutai has been showing symptoms for several days, but many people mistakenly think it is seasickness and do not realize that it is tetanus.
If it is really as Li Mi said, if there is such a disease, I am afraid that it will really die of illness, after all, everyone eats cerium, but everyone is fine, only Lu Wutai died, if there are really other reasons, everyone is still very happy to believe it.
The problem is that they are not professional doctors, and in ancient times, doctors were also passed down from generation to generation, and because of the view of the portal, the popularization of medical knowledge was extremely limited, and ordinary people could not access these at all.
The social hierarchy of Shinong, industry, commerce, and military craftsmen is also destined to be a group of people with relatively low social status, although they save lives and help the wounded, but in fact, Langzhong's social status is not as high as imagined.
Especially at a time when the imperial examination has fully matured and reading has become the only way for civilians and even the children of many large families to get ahead, there are not as many people who know medical knowledge as imagined.
Li Mi explained the various signs and symptoms of tetanus, but also explained the general pathogenesis, and everyone was as if they had listened to the book of heaven, some people were surprised, I don't know why Li Mi knew this, but more people began to question it.
At the end of the day, there is only one problem.
If there is really this disease, including Zhao Yanyang and Fan Rongkuan, they are all willing to accept it, after all, Lu Wutai did not die on the battlefield, but died in the hands of Wu Weizhong, no matter how you say it, it will be a shame on this action, and their merits will be halved.
Moreover, it is impossible to bring down a person like Wu Weizhong just by relying on a cook and a servant.
And although they were all happy to see it, whether it was Zhao Yanyang or Fan Rongkuan, they still believed in their hearts that Wu Weizhong had no motive to kill Lu Wutai.
So the current situation has become, if there is really a tetanus disease, they will believe Li Mi, but if it is proved that Li Mi is making up nonsense, then they would rather believe that Wu Weizhong is the murderer.
Li Mi also explained carefully and carefully, even including examples.
In this ancient period, there was a shortage of medical treatment, especially in the war years and the cold weapon period, the vast majority of soldiers were infected and died, that is to say, there were not many people who really died on the battlefield.
Most of them are injured on the battlefield and do not receive adequate treatment, and the infection causes serious illness, and eventually dies of illness.
During the Three Kingdoms period, he died of arrow sores at every turn, and it was Zhou Yu who also had back sores before he disappeared, and these were all caused by infection.
And because of the injuries caused by swords and iron tools, tetanus occupies a large part of the infected population.
Li Mi cited this example, and it was easy for everyone to understand.
If they were in the heyday, it would not be easy to imagine, but during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese were rampant, and the soldiers were rambling, and the coastal people suffered greatly, and they were no strangers to war.
But there was no doctor present, Li Mi could only call the doctor over, but the man only cleaned up the dead, and there was no way to treat the living, there were many military doctors, and Zhao Yanyang called the military doctors over.
It's just that in ancient times, the social status of doctors was not high, and military doctors were not even doctors at all.
These military doctors are only responsible for bandaging bones and other work, and they don't know anything about internal medicine at all.
Although these military doctors were often exposed to cases of tetanus, after all, wounded sergeants often had the symptoms described by Li Mi.
But they don't know the reason for it, and they don't dare to affirm the disease that Li Mi said, they can only say that they have seen what Li Mi said, and as for whether there is this disease or not, no military doctor dares to stand up and support Li Mi.
The debate has reached an impasse at this juncture, and everyone has actually accepted Li Mi's statement, but there is no clear evidence to prove the existence of this disease, so it cannot be regarded as the key to solving the case.
Li Mi was also anxious, it was clear that this was the case, but he couldn't come up with strong evidence to support it, which also made him more aware of the truth that evidence is king, and only by coming up with tangible evidence can people be convinced and have nothing to say!
Just when Li Mi was at a loss, Zhou Yu, who had been silent, spoke!
Yes, this Metropolitan Governor of Zhou Yu, who has always wanted to subdue Li Mi, when Li Mi played cards three or four times without common sense and disrupted his calculations, this time also surprised Li Mi, he actually stood up and brought evidence to Li Mi!
"In fact, the tetanus that Li Zongzhu said is indeed a disease, and the symptoms are as Li Mi said, "Taiping Shenghui Fang" has said, the husband is injured by knives and arrows, acupuncture sores and moxibustion, broken tendons and bones, carbuncle swelling and sores, or new injuries, or long-term sores have not been closed, can not be cautious, tendon evil treatment all tetanus is urgent, the mouth is silent and the limbs are twitched, the body is stiff, the mouth can not be opened, the limbs tremble, the bones are painful, the face is slanted, this is the place where the injury is in the wind evil, so the name tetanus is the ear."
When Zhou Yu said this, everyone was also amazed, it turned out that there was really such a disease, and the records in the medical books were the same as what Li Mishi said!
"I didn't expect that the Governor is even familiar with the Qihuang classics, which is really admirable, but most of the Metropolitan Governors are not doctors, how do they know this?" Zhao Yanyang and Fan Rongkuan couldn't help but admire.
Although they had already seen Zhou Yu's omniscience, Li Mi said such a remote and unpopular sudden death, this Zhou Yu really understood, is there really no problem in this world that is difficult for him?
Zhou Yu also laughed at himself rarely, maybe he showed friendliness to Li Mi, and maybe Li Mi didn't want to follow his train of thought, at this time Li Mi also said.
"Because your Zhou Yu Dadu, didn't he die because of his back injury and tetanus, if you don't believe it, you can look at Dadu's back, I'm afraid there should be a scar."
When Li Mi said this, everyone was also surprised, and only then did they remember, yes, didn't Governor Zhou Yu die because of this disease, no wonder he knew this so clearly!
It's just that what Li Mi said was too casual, there were more people present who still believed in Zhou Yu's identity as the governor, and even most of the people believed in Zhou Yu's identity, and they didn't have time to respect and worship Zhou Yu, who would dare to let Zhou Yu untie his clothes and let them look at Zhou Yu's back?
In this way, no one responded to Li Mi's words, Li Mi was somewhat embarrassed, so he cast his eyes at Shi Shiyong, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident, now Li Mi's words are tenable, as long as someone with weight puts it forward, this matter can be regarded as solved, the case is clear, and Wu Weizhong does not have to be a prisoner at that level.
Shi Shiyong naturally knew Li Mi's intentions, and this matter was as Li Mi said, after introducing the disease tetanus, the possibility of Lu Wutai dying of tetanus was greater than the possibility of eating cerium fish poisoning.
"What Mr. Zhou said is not bad, and it is also recorded in Puji Fang, saying that there is a new injury, or a sores that have not been closed for a long time, and they should not be cautious and brave the wind and cold. , the gas wind evil from the outside, the beginning of the injury in the blood, the long attack on the viscera, causing the body to stiffen, the mouth can not be opened, the muscles and veins are constricted, the limbs tremble, the bone marrow pain, the face is slanted, so it is difficult to save, this is the damage in the wind evil, so the name tetanus also. ”
"From this, it can be seen that what Li Mi said is well-founded, and the real cause of death of Lu Wutai's hundred households is tetanus, of course, if you still want to verify, it is not impossible, as Li Mi said earlier, digging the grave and opening the coffin, knowing to check the wound on the soles of Lu Wutai's feet, according to his evil poisonous lines, you can also see the truth."
Shi Shiyong said this, and everyone believed it even more, but they were inevitably shocked in their hearts, Li Mi proposed to dig up the tomb and open the coffin from the beginning, could it be that from the beginning, he already suspected that Lu Wutai died because of this?
