Chapter Ninety-One: Green Hair
It has been five days since Zhang Xian returned to Yingtianfu, and Yue Fei still hasn't woken up. Almost all the famous doctors in Yingtian and Xuzhou were invited to Li's house, but they were helpless about Yue Fei's condition. In order to save Yue Fei, Doctor Pang even used the trick of scraping bones to heal his injuries. He took out all the grains of iron sand embedded in Yue Fei's arm, and smeared Yue Fei with the best anti-inflammatory muscle cream, but he couldn't stop the rot of Yue Fei's left arm, nor could he stop Yue Fei's high fever.
Yue Fei's body has been in a high fever. Since Yue Fei was sent to the Li Mansion, Li Xiao'e has never left Yue Fei for a single step. She kept putting a silk towel dipped in cold water on Yue Fei's forehead to cool Yue Fei. This trick was taught to Li Xiao'e by Yue Fei.
Even if her mother-in-law and eldest sister Yue came to the room and persuaded Li Xiao'e, whose eyes were red and swollen, to go back to the room to rest for the time being, Li Xiao'e still refused to leave. Li Xiao'e was afraid that Yue Fei would die suddenly while she was asleep.
After several days of sleeplessness, the radiant Li Xiao'e became extremely haggard, not only her mother-in-law and eldest sister Yue, but even the famous doctors who came to see Yue Fei secretly said to Li Bashao when they walked out of Li's house, Eighth Master, it's not just Yue Shuai's bad situation. The situation of the eldest lady is not so good either.
Li Bashao just sighed leisurely. How could he not know what was going on in his daughter's mind? Once Yue Fei has an accident, his daughter will definitely be martyred. The daughter's personality is soft on the outside and steel on the inside, once she makes up her mind, no one can persuade her.
Don't talk about your daughter, why hasn't Li Bashao been exhausted these days?
Since Yue Fei was injured and returned to the city, the hearts of the people of Ying Tianfu suddenly became panicked. Many gentry took the opportunity to come to visit the sick and tried to inquire about Yue Fei's true situation. Li Bashao blocked all these people from the door, and said that Yue Fei was seriously ill and needed to recuperate. But as famous doctors entered and exited Li's house one by one, a rumor gradually arose in Ying Tianfu.
"Master Huang, do you know? Yue Shuai may have been unlucky. I listened to what Doctor Wang said. He said that Yue Shuai was already stinking. It's just that there's still a breath to hang. ”
"Nonsense! Open your eyes wide, do you have a conscience? Have you forgotten who rescued us from the rebels? Dare to curse Yue Shuai for misfortune! Let's go, I'll take you to see Vice Marshal Zhang! ”
"Alas, Master Huang, I really didn't talk nonsense. And it was all over the city. ”
Yes, soon the entire Ying Tianfu heard the news of Yue Fei's misfortune. Ying Tianfu, who was calm, was suddenly shaken. Whether it is the common people or the wealthy business gentry, there is no peace on their faces. Everyone understands in their hearts that the reason why Ying Tianfu can become a paradise in troubled times is because of Yue Fei's existence.
Although Li Bashao's prestige is extremely high, and although Huang Zong has the nickname of Huang Qingtian in the hearts of the people, everyone understands that Yue Fei is the soul of Ying Tianfu. Although without Yue Fei, the heroic and warlike Protector Army still exists, but many wealthy households are not sure whether this Protector Army, which has never disturbed the people, will become a chaotic army that does all kinds of evil after losing Yue Fei.
Li Bashao was powerless against the rumors in the city. Because he knows that it is not a rumor at all, but a fact. Yue Fei's symptoms are getting worse and worse. Pang Shen used all the antidotes, but he still couldn't make Yue Fei sober.
Since Huang Zong went to Qixian to resist Du Chong, the affairs of the entire Ying Tianfu have been pressed on the shoulders of Li Bashao. Although officials at all levels of Yingtian's yamen were still handling all kinds of political affairs in an orderly manner, Li Bashao had to go to the yamen every day to check the case files. He was worried that these officials would be superficial, and he was worried that these officials would be unfair and that they would undermine the hard-won popular support.
As for the big and small businesses of Ying Tianfu, it is inseparable from Li Bashao. Li Bashao was born as a businessman, and of course he understands the psychology of businessmen. The more at the moment when people's hearts are floating, the more they must be calm, and they must be no different from usual. Only in this way will the panicked businessmen settle down and continue to operate shops in Yingtianfu. Therefore, Li Bashao is now spending half a day in the Yamen, half a day in the Chamber of Commerce, and half a day looking for a famous doctor. Li Bashao only now truly understands that although his prestige is high, he cannot give the people of Yingtian a sense of security. At this point, he couldn't even compare to Yue Yun.
Yue Yun seemed to have completely become an adult. In addition to crying in the Li Mansion, once he walked out of the Li Mansion, his face would become stern. In these days, Yue Yun was dressed all over his body every day, taking Niu Tonggao and the people around, and walking around the most prosperous streets. The day before yesterday, there were three thieves who tried to ransack a gold and silver jewelry store, but they happened to be bumped into by Yue Yun. Yue Yun held a double cone, one for each one, and actually killed three thieves in the middle of the city.
The story soon spread throughout the city. The eldest prince of Yue in the mouth of the people of Yingtian gradually became the young master. In troubled times, what the people need most is someone who can protect them.
When Li Bashao heard the news, he didn't know what it was like. He understood that the reason why Yue Yun killed people in the street was precisely to deter those villains who wanted to fish in troubled waters. In the past six months, it is not only good men and women who have poured into Ying Tianfu from other places.
I have to say that sometimes, killing is the best way to stand your way. Yue Yuncone killed the three thieves, and immediately appeased many villains who were about to move. No matter how terrible Huang Zong is, he will only throw them into prison if he catches them. But this eldest son of Yue, but the god descended to earth, and at the age of nine, he dared to kill a master who entered and exited seven in the golden soldiers, and bumped into him, but he was dead or alive.
Li Bashao saw these things in his eyes, but he could only sigh. He has also been exhausted these days, if Yue Fei doesn't wake up again, maybe Li Bashao will fall first.
Since Zhang Xian arrived in Yingtianfu, he did not take over the defense of Yingtianfu. Ying Tianfu is still in charge of Xu Qing, and Zhang Xian is only in charge of one place, that is, Li Zhai. Zhang Xian led 200 Beiwei troops to deploy defenses inside and outside Li's house. The murderous aura brought out by the elite soldiers of a hundred battles often broke the hearts of the doctors who entered and left the Li Mansion.
Zhang Xian was holding a spear and stood outside the door of Yue Fei's room, his eyes wide, looking up and down at anyone who tried to enter the room. His ears had been listening to the movement in the room. He could hear Li Xiao'e sobbing and Yue Fei's breathing. As long as there is any abnormality in the house, Zhang Xian will enter the house like lightning.
No wonder Zhang Xian is so careful. Two assassinations on the way back made him wary. He didn't know who was trying to kill him. But he understood that since the enemy would not even let him go, of course he would not let Yue Fei go.
That's why Zhang Xian didn't care about it, just stayed by Yue Fei's side. Even if the most famous doctor came to see Yue Fei, Zhang Xian had to be by his side. In the past few days, Zhang Xian has seized at least three so-called famous doctors who want to take the opportunity to kill Yue Fei. A famous doctor pointed to a poisonous needle and tried to pierce Yue Fei's heart. A famous doctor prescribed a poison prescription to Yue Fei. There is also a famous doctor who actually hid a small pair of crossbows in the medicine chest.
Before he could make a move with the needle and the crossbow, he was taken down by the eagle-like Zhang Xian and sent to the Military Intelligence Department for interrogation. The most dangerous thing is the famous doctor who prescribes poison. Faced with the question of why Doctor Pang Shen ordered so many soil letters (arsenic), the doctor said in a heartfelt manner, fighting poison with poison. Zhang Xian poured all the soil letters into the mouth of the famous doctor.
In fact, after a few days, the famous doctor has been invited all over again, and there is no longer a doctor who is more clever than Doctor Pang. But Dr. Pang Shen's daily Chinese medicine is just to talk about personnel. In the words of Doctor Pang, if Li Xiao'e hadn't fed Yue Fei some meat porridge every day, Yue Fei would have starved to death.
Zhang Xian and Doctor Pang walked out of the room, and Doctor Pang shook his head helplessly at Zhang Xian again. "Vice Marshal Zhang, I did my best. Yue Shuai's high fever does not go away, and the wound is rotten to the bone, even if Hua Tuo is resurrected, there is no good way. ”
Zhang Xian's eyes were red, and a sentence burst out from between his teeth. "Ghost Fan Tower!"
The captured killer thought he was steely, but he confessed before being skinned and tortured by the Military Intelligence Department. Ji Qian sent Yue Fei to Yingtianfu, and he and Wang Gang rushed to Bianliang with five hundred Beiwei troops day and night. They didn't just want to destroy the Ghost Fan Tower, but they also wanted to find the antidote to the elixir in the Ghost Fan Tower.
But a few days have passed, and there is still no news from Ji Qian Wang Gang. It seems that the trip did not go well. Zhang Xian glanced at the gray cold sky, and secretly swore in his heart that if anything happened to Brother Yue, I would definitely kill the ghost fan building.
At this time, Zhang Xian found that Li Qingzhao and Su Mai had walked into Li's house and quickly walked to his side.
Zhang Xian knew that Li Qingzhao would not harm Yue Fei, but he didn't know if Su Mai would. He knew that Su Mai was Su Dongpo's eldest son, his fellow villager, and the principal of Yingtian Public School. But he still didn't dare to be careless, especially when he saw Su Mai holding a basin covered with white veil in his hand.
What's hidden in the basin?
Li Qingzhao knew that Zhang Xian and Yue Fei were living and dying together, and he had arrested three doctors who murdered Yue Fei in the past few days, so he must have been extremely cautious. So as soon as he walked in front of Zhang Xian, Li Qingzhao smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, open the white veil and let Zhang Xian take a look at the things in the basin." ”
There was no murder weapon in the basin, only a pot of paste covered with long green hairs.
Zhang Xian looked at Li Su and the others with puzzled eyes, not knowing what they were doing with so much paste. "What is this?"
"Detoxify Yue Shuai."
Although Zhang Xian didn't know how to detoxify the paste, he knew that the two had no malicious intentions, so he immediately let them into the house. Doctor Pang also frowned when he saw this pot of paste. Li Xiao'e sat beside Yue Fei and bowed her head and was silent.
Li Qingzhao walked up to Li Xiao'e and called softly, "Sister." ”
Li Xiao'e raised her eyes and saw that it was Li Qingzhao, and tears welled up all of a sudden. She hugged Li Qingzhao and cried. "Sister, save Pengju. My sister is erudite and talented, and she must have the ability to save Pengju. ”
Doctor Pang smiled bitterly when he heard this. It seems that Li Xiao'e is sick and rushed to the doctor. He had also heard of the name of this Yi'an Jushi. But he didn't think that Li Qingzhao could save Yue Fei.
Li Qingzhao hurriedly said, "Sister, don't cry." Uncle Su and I came here to detoxify Pengju. ”
Su Mai saw that everyone's eyes were all staring at him, and immediately smiled, "I once heard from my ancestor that there was a tailor in the Tang Dynasty who used the green hair on the paste to treat knife wounds and poisonous sores, and the effect was very fast. I don't believe it. But my father said that he had done the test, and that it had a miraculous effect. Now that Yue Shuai is sick and drowsy, why not give it a try with green hair? ”
Li Xiao'e was originally very confident, but when she heard Su Mai say this, she knew that this recipe was only heard by Su Mai, and whether it was effective or not was still in doubt, and her face couldn't help but darken again. Doctor Pang saw Li Xiao'e hesitate, and immediately said, "I often hear Su Xianxi collect folk prescriptions, and it seems that it is true. Eldest Miss, now that Old Madam Yue and Senior Sister Yue are sick, Yue Shuai's illness cannot be delayed any longer. We have to try Su Xian's recipe. ”
Li Xiao'e was so confused that she could only nod helplessly.
