Chapter 381: It's all acting
The Chang'an post house has been turned upside down, and the king of Dai has a sudden emergency, and the post house is terrified. The medical officer of the post house was helpless, and sent to report to the emperor, and the person who asked for the imperial doctor never returned, and everyone did not know what to do.
Liu Ming, the king of Jichuan, was furious and grabbed Yicheng: "Why hasn't the doctor arrived yet?" Say, Are you deliberately procrastinating? ”
Yi Cheng was frightened, and hurriedly waved his hand: "The king is angry, even if the villain has ten heads, he will not dare to delay, if the king has any mistakes, the villain's whole family will die, the villain will go immediately, go in person!" ”
Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, pulled Liu Ming, who was about to do it: "Regardless of their business, the acting king is poisoned." ”
"Poisoned? Who? Liu Ming glared, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be about to break: "In broad daylight, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares to poison me and other princes and kings?" ”
Liu Fa shook his head: "What the medical officer said, he also said that this poison is very powerful, once it attacks, it is almost ......."
"Come on, arrest everyone in the inn, the second brother only drank a few cups of tea after he came back, take a good look at the guy who served the tea, I want to interrogate it personally!" Liu Ming didn't finish listening to Liu Fa's words, and hurriedly found someone to arrange.
The post house is brightly lit and full of people. The black light on the opposite side of the post house blinded me to see anything, and naturally I couldn't see the dark eyes on the wall. Su Ren lay on the wall and watched for a long time, and then went down the ladder. The thatched hut was cleaned up a little, and the rats, cockroaches and other aborigines inside had already moved, and in front of a few wicked people, they could only give in.
Su Kai lay down against the wall and fell asleep, Leng Jun and Laifu went out, Huang Shisan was still watching, and only Hawking was squatting in the house to roast the fire. In order to avoid being seen by outsiders, the fire was small, and even if it passed through the house, it would be obscured by the surrounding wall.
Su Ren shook his head and sighed and entered the door: "It's better to be a king, the guards of the four kings add up to a few hundred people, and only the southern army can deal with such a large force in Chang'an, Jing Zhaoyin doesn't care about it at all." ”
"There are a lot of people who have a fart, this is Chang'an, they are rampant in the post house, if they come out, someone will clean it up!" Hawking moved to Su Ren: "Let's not just pack up a few, from just now to now, three groups of people have come out, and all of them are alive and dead." ”
Su Ren looked at Hawking, although Hawking's body has grown up, he is still just a child in the end, and Su Ren has also considered letting Hawking do this. It is absolutely unimaginable in later generations to start killing people in their teens, but in the Han Dynasty, when the average life expectancy was less than forty years old, getting married in a teenager, being a father in a teenager, and killing people in a teenager did not seem to be a big deal.
"How many did you kill?" Su Ren asked Hawking.
Hawking muttered: "Second brother won't let me go, Su Kai just went out, and now the second brother and Laifu have gone." ”
While the two were talking, Leng Jun and Rifle returned. Both of them were dressed in black, and a faint smell of blood wafted in with the wind. Despite their care, there were blood stains on their clothes. He threw himself into the fire, took the skin bag with water, and poured it with his head up. After drinking it coldly, he handed it to Laifu, and Laifu didn't dislike it, so he drank it in his mouth.
"Okay, everyone is back, let's go back!" Su Ren got up and patted his buttocks: "When I came, I received the news, the matter has been done, even if the gods go down to earth, it will be useless, I have been squatting here for three days, I should go back, Xiao Jinzi went to call Lao Huang back, remember, clean up here when you leave." ”
Out of the courtyard gate, a horse rushed through the alley. By the lights of the post house, you can still see that it is the post man who rides a horse. It is indeed rare for a postman to be sent to have such riding skills. Hawking hurriedly grabbed the crossbow.
Su Ren stretched out his hand and held it down: "No need, you should let the emperor know, otherwise someone will be suspicious." ”
The horse's horse flashed past and burrowed into the darkness, leaving only a long trail of horses' hooves. A few people followed the planned route, looking for dark corners, patrolling the streets with few soldiers, shuttling back and forth, stopping and stopping. It wasn't until the middle of the night that I returned home. Back in his room, Su Ren stretched his waist, and before he took off his coat, he heard a knock on the door.
"Who?"
"Sir, the palace attendant is here, Your Majesty has summoned you!"
"Wait!"
He quickly took off his robe, draped it over his body, took off his shoes again, loosened his neat hair, and opened the door barefoot. Outside the door, Liu Gao held a lantern, and behind him stood an attendant. This chamberlain is from Jianzhang Palace, Su Ren has seen it, it seems to be called Liu Jiqing. is old, wrinkled, usually follows the emperor, does not smile, no matter who he is, he is serious, even in front of Liu Che.
Su Ren hurriedly saluted: "The old waiter is here, it's rude, don't be surprised." ”
Liu Jiqing made a straight face: "Your Majesty has a decree, please Su Yilang rush to the post house immediately, the car is outside, and please Su Yilang hurry up." ”
"The old chamberlain will take a moment, and I'll come."
Back in the house, Su Ren shook his head and smiled bitterly. According to the plan he discussed with Liu Che, asking him to go to the post house means that the acting king is no longer good. That Yicheng's foot strength is really fast, and Liu Che's reaction is not slow. Su Ren was thinking, how to say that he could minimize his suspicion when he went to the post house, it was impossible to have it at all, as long as the other princes and kings were not sure.
There was nothing to say all the way, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the post station, Liu Ming actually opened the curtain for Su Ren: "Quick!" Your Majesty said that your medical skills are very extraordinary, and you can even put out fires from the dead, and this time my second brother will rely on you! ”
Su Ren smiled: "Your Majesty has praised it, I only know some superficial things, but I don't know how the acting king is now?" ”
"Hey!" While walking inside, Liu Ming sighed: "Don't mention it, vomiting and diarrhea, it's useless to eat, it's only been a few hours, and I look ten years old." ”
"Why is it so powerful? Can a cause be identified? ”
Liu Ming shook his head: "It is said to be poisoned, but how can it be poisoned?" When I ate in the palace in the afternoon, I was fine, and the second brother didn't eat much, so he ate a plate of daylily, and I also ate that thing. ”
"Poisoned?" Su Ren was surprised: "Who is so bold as to dare to poison the acting king?" Murdering the king is to destroy the nine clans! ”
"I've looked up and down in the inn, and I don't have the slightest clue, those quacks only say that they are poisoned but can't do anything, I think they just use this to prevaricate."
Liu Deng's room is the best one in the post station, not only is the area large, but the layout and things used are all taken from the palace. On the couch against the back wall, Liu Deng was lying with his eyes closed, his face sallow and sallow, his mouth slightly open, and his beard shaking. At first glance, I knew that I was terminally ill and not far from death.
Liu Che, Liu Fa, and Liu Sheng were all there, and there were a few servants and imperial doctors by the couch. Liu Ming separated the crowd and began to scold: "You useless waste, get out of here!" ”
Su Ren saluted Liu Che first and secretly observed Liu Che's face. Anxious, absolutely anxious, his brows furrowed deeply, his eyes narrowed, and he waved his hand: "Don't worship, it's important to save people, the king has come all the way to see me, I must not let the king have an accident!" ”
Liu Fa glanced at Su Ren: "There is Lao Su Yilang, please take a look at the second brother." ”
The imperial doctor on the couch was kicked away by Liu Ming's punches and kicks, and dragged Su Ren to the couch. Su Ren took a deep breath and rolled Liu Deng's eyelids, his pupils were already dilated. looked at Liu Deng's tongue again, and the roots were pitch black. Closing his eyes, he poked out three fingers and put them on Liu Deng's wrist, but the pulse was still there. Su Ren sat quietly on the edge of the couch, both laymen and insiders felt that Su Ren was diagnosing and treating, but in fact, Su Ren was just pretending.
After a long stick of incense, after touching his left hand and touching his right hand, the people in the room didn't even dare to breathe, waiting for Su Ren's decision. The story of Su Ren saving Mrs. Wei's mother and daughter has spread in the palace, and no one dares to say how to save it, anyway, he saved the princess. For this alone, those imperial doctors had to admire.
Seeing that Su Ren had finished his diagnosis, Imperial Doctor Wang stuffed Liu Deng's hand back into the quilt: "Su Yilang, do you think the acting king ......?"
Su Ren got up slowly, took the handkerchief from the slave's hand and wiped his hands, sighed and shook his head: "Your Majesty, the kings, the acting king is indeed poisoned, this poison is very powerful, it has entered the bone marrow, if it is half an hour earlier, I have a way to give it a try, now ......"
Su Ren didn't finish his words, and he didn't need to say anything to know what Su Ren wanted to say. Several imperial doctors let out a sigh of relief, and Su Ren said so, which means that they are not wrong. In front of Su Ren, the old imperial doctor who has been practicing medicine for decades doesn't even believe in himself.
"Second brother......!" Liu Ming threw himself down in front of Liu Deng's couch and cried. Followed by Liu Fa and Liu Sheng, they are also average. Liu Che wiped the corners of his eyes with the sleeve of his robe: "There is no way?" ”
Su Ren shook his head: "Weichen can't do anything, if the family teacher is here, it may still be possible, but unfortunately the family teacher has passed away for several years." ”
Liu Fa cried a few times, got up and asked Su Ren: "Do you know what kind of poison it is?" ”
"This poison is called Crane Dinghong, but it has nothing to do with the crane, it is a kind of ore, the color is bright red, the poison is incomparable, it is the first giant poison in the world, as long as you swallow it, it will not take a moment to poison!"
"Crane top red?" Imperial Doctor Wang hurriedly said: "The villain has also read a lot of medical books, why haven't you heard such a name?" ”
"Haven't heard anything strange? When I traveled the world with my teacher, I still saw it in a gold mining workshop, and the white smoke emitted when smelting gold ore was Heding Red, in fact, this thing is not red, but the ore containing it is ruddy and bright, like the top of the crane, which is named Heding Red. ”
"Oh! Thank you Su Yilang for your advice! The imperial doctors thanked one after another.
After Su Ren finished speaking, he just glanced at Liu Che when he turned around, Liu Che blinked his eyes, and he was also very satisfied with Su Ren's explanation.
Now that it is certain that Liu Deng is really poisoned, Liu Ming cried even more fiercely. In the end, he is the second brother, which is a step further than Liu Che, Liu Fa, and Liu Sheng. After crying for a long time, Liu Ming suddenly got up and knelt down in front of Liu Che: "Your Majesty, someone has assassinated the second brother, and the minister is sure that Your Majesty will find out this person and avenge the second brother!" ”
Liu Che pulled Liu Ming up: "The third brother doesn't say that I will do it, the acting king is also my second brother, I promise here that I will not give up if I don't find out this person!" ”
