Li Shizhen was accompanied by Pang Xian and Li Jianfang, and walked out of the hospital worriedly.

I have checked just now, this patient did come to the diagnosis and treatment last month, it was a broken leg when going up the mountain to chop wood, although the old age and frail but not to have the surname to worry about life, after the medication and then bed rest and recuperate is no big problem.

At that time, it was Pang Xian's prescription, and he personally picked up the bone and splint for him, Li Shizhen saw the prescription, it can be regarded as neutral and peaceful, and the monarch and the minister complement each other, and there will definitely be no mistakes.

But the patient died inexplicably, and he insisted that it was a quack doctor who killed someone, isn't it wronged?

Li Shizhen has been practicing medicine for decades and has survived countless people, and when he saw his old man come out, the people automatically gave way and waited for him to walk to the middle of the crowd, next to the stretcher.

After thinking about it, Li Shizhen asked the filial son with a pleasant face: "I don't know what to call this friend?" Can Ling Zun take medicine according to the prescription when he goes back, and regularly turn over and massage for him, invigorate blood and remove blood stasis? ”

"Phew!" Xiaozi raised his head, with a swollen and bubbled face and two cloudy and yellow eyes, stared at Li Shizhen viciously, and scolded angrily: "Quack, it was because I ate your poison that I killed my father!" ”

Li Shizhen didn't care about this humiliation, he still looked calm, uncovered the lower half of the white sheet on the corpse, first touched the broken bones on his feet, and nodded at Li Jianfang and Pang Xian: "That's right, the bones are connected, if the person is still alive, he will be able to walk on the ground in two months." ”

"Fart you!" Xiaozi got up from the ground and spat Xingzi sprayed Li Shizhen's face: "My father is dead, and you still say these crazy things!" ”

There is a short and thin old man who is seventy miles away is the patriarch of Hejia Village surnamed He, and he still has some knowledge, so he stretched out his hand and pulled the filial son back: "He Erlang, what are you anxious about?" Whether there is a problem with the medicine or something else, I have to let Mr. Li take a look. ”

Qin Lin frowned secretly when he heard this, Old Man He is so powerful, he has already planted most of the responsibility on the side of the medical hall for no reason.

Li Shizhen did not argue, and gently uncovered the sheet covering half of the corpse, revealing that the deceased had turned pale and had a purple face due to the loss of life, and his facial muscles twitched and twisted to make it scary.

Suddenly, the surrounding people were shaken, and the timid ones had taken a few steps back.

Looking closely, I saw that the corners of the deceased's mouth still had faint dark brown traces, which were clearly residual Chinese medicine liquids.

Li Shizhen leaned in and sniffed it, turned around and asked Patriarch He and He Erlang: "Did you bring the medicine residue?" ”

Since he came to the medical hall to discuss the law, of course the medicine residue came, Patriarch He took out a small cloth bag, but held it in his hand and did not hand it to Li Shizhen, with a vigilant look, to prevent him from changing the medicine with his hands and feet.

Li Shizhen smiled bitterly, so far he could only talk to himself as a clear person to masturbate, stretched out two fingers and turned over a few times in the dregs, and he had already understood it.

"Indeed, there are a few medicines on your prescription," Li Shizhen told Pang Xian in a rather low voice, "and the taste of the corner of the deceased's mouth has also been smelled by the teacher, and the medicine juice doesn't look like it has moved its hands and feet." ”

Li Shizhen is known as the king of medicine, how rich is his experience? As long as there is a slight mistake in the potion, it can't be hidden from his examination.

Since he said so, the responsibility of the medical hall is greater.

Pang Xian hurriedly said: "After all, it is the disciple who is ridiculous, so let the disciple go to the court with him in this matter." ”

"No, it's not your fault," Li Shizhen shook his head: "Your prescription is extremely neutral and peaceful, and the crude drugs in the pharmacy affiliated to our medical hall are absolutely not adulterated, and there may be other reasons for the patient's death." ”

Pang Xian and Li Jianfang glanced at each other and understood.

Li Shizhen looked at He Erlang, and saw that this person was full of alcohol, and his profundity was extremely weak, so he sighed secretly in his heart, and asked calmly: "Ling Zun went back to recuperate, can you take medicine on time?" Do you turn him over every two hours and give him a massage every day to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis? ”

Hearing this, Qin Lin's heart jumped, and he also understood three points.

He Erlang was about to quarrel with a stalk in his neck, but the patriarch He persuaded him, and said to Li Shizhen in a prickly voice: "Although He Erlang is a drunkard and a gambler, but his father is lying on the bed, can he not serve him well?" Doctor Li, I think you should think about other reasons! ”

Li Shizhen is embarrassed now, there are four diagnosis methods for the art of Qihuang from ancient times, which is about looking, hearing, asking, and cutting, but this cold corpse, his face is bruised, and he can't look at his complexion; The dead cannot speak, nor hear; The soul has long since returned to the yin, and I can't ask him what his symptoms are; His heart has already stopped, how to cut his pulse?

The four diagnosis methods are all aimed at the living, and in the face of a cold and hard corpse, Li Shizhen is Bian Que's resurrection and Hua Tuo's reincarnation, and he can only cry out in vain.

Seeing this, the villagers of Hejia Village only said that Li Shizhen was poor in words, and several green-skinned descendants began to clamor as soon as they instigated it.

Others don't care, Qing Dai is angry and aggrieved, from childhood to adulthood, only cured patients come to wear red and send plaques, how many have you seen a large group of people accusing quacks of murder? Her delicate face turned pale, her body trembled, and she wanted to refute those people for her grandfather, but even Li Shizhen couldn't find the reason......

Qin Lin frowned, he had already discovered some clues, but now that the crowd was raging, the time to find out the truth had not yet come, so he had to carefully protect Qing Dai behind him.

The girl in a panic involuntarily held Qin Lin's hand.

The crowd gathered more and more, and the confusion grew.

Niu Dali led more than a dozen people with jujube sticks, running sweating profusely, Qin Lin was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly glanced at him, Niu Dali understood, and commanded his subordinates to suppress the crowd.

Many thorns who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic are mixed among the people, taking the opportunity to fan the flames; At the scene, there were many people who had received Li Shizhen's favor to speak for him, and the villagers of Hejia Village had a verbal conflict......

Gradually, the people can't hold it down, and it is very likely to cause civil unrest.

Pang Xian and Li Jianfang's faces changed color, this civil turmoil together, the Li Medical Center, as the origin of the chaos, whether it is right or wrong, will be strictly dealt with by the government, isn't it a disaster? I had no choice but to protect Li Shizhen and slowly retreat to the door, and my heart was like a mess.

"Whoever makes trouble again, you're welcome!"

The ox shouted vigorously, the muscles on his exposed arms bulged, and the thick jujube stick at the mouth of the bowl was raised high, exhaling loudly, rolling up the whirring wind, and hitting the willow tree on the side of the road.

He heard a loud click, and the thigh-thick willow tree was broken by him with a stick, and the whole canopy of the tree fell down with such a bang that it was so powerful that all who witnessed it could not bear to swallow their tongues.

Intimidated by this might, the crowd was silent for a moment.

What a bull is strong, I'm afraid this blow will not have the power of nine bulls and two tigers! Qin Lin gave him a thumbs up, and Niu vigorously touched the back of his neck, grinning straight away.

As soon as the noise of the crowd stopped, Qin Lin heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves coming from the long street in the north, his expression immediately relaxed a lot, he pinched Qingdai's little hand, and comforted: "It's okay, Jinyiwei is here, there will be chaos here." ”

Qing Dai realized that Qin Lin had been holding her little hand for so long, and her heart was beating wildly, and she was very shy, but in the end she didn't withdraw her hand.

Shi Wei led the brocade guards to gallop over, he rode a high-headed horse, lifted the reins, and the Marsi law chief neighed and stopped, he sat on the back of the horse, and said in a deep voice: "In broad daylight, gather people to make trouble, is there still a king law in your eyes?" ”

Shi Wei's grim gaze swept over, everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look at each other, and the lieutenants in brocade took the opportunity to form a circle in groups of three or five, separating the villagers of Hejia Village from the people who supported Li Shizhen, and temporarily controlled the situation.

Ten archers and five horses from the state government also arrived.

At the end is the sedan chair of the old man of Zhizhou, the four sedan chair drivers ran so that the beads of sweat on their foreheads rolled down, and Zhang Gongyu in the sedan chair took a selfie and shouted on the handrail:

"How can this be justified, how can it be justified! has just solved the murder case, and is about to cause civil unrest, why are there so many Diao people in Qizhou? Why do you always go against me? The master said, 'Benevolence is far away, I want to be benevolent, and Si Ren is the best', this master rules this place with benevolence, but I didn't expect these Diao people to be so naughty......"

When the villagers of Hejia Village heard this, they couldn't help but feel worried in their hearts, and even the filial son He Erlang forgot to cry.

However, the patriarch He Old Man had insight, and he pounced on Zhang Gongyu before he got off the sedan chair, and cried and made a fuss with the sedan chair: "Wronged, Lord Qingtian is the master of the small people!" The quack doctors in the Li Family Medical Hall killed people, and the human and material evidence is there, and the eldest man is asked to handle the case impartially! ”

Zhang Gongyu stepped out of the sedan chair with a stinky face and helped Old Man He up, except for the gentry in the Ming Dynasty, the local government was a village elder, and the magistrate would not offend him if he didn't have to, and the other party was reasonable.

The stunned Qing of Hejia Village also shouted: "If the state does not handle the case impartially, let's go to the Huangzhou Mansion to charge, and go to the province to control according to the judge, it's really not good, and there is also the road to Beijing to fight the Dengwen drum and sue the imperial court!" ”

Zhang Gongyu wiped his head dry, sweat beads rolled out again, and looked at Li Shizhen for help: "Mr. Li, what is going on?" ”

Li Shizhen only shook his head and smiled bitterly, he treated the living and rejuvenated with a wonderful hand, but for the dead to see the disease, it was still the first time that a big girl went to a sedan chair in this life.

A servant who knew the reason whispered in Zhang Gongyu's ear, and after a while, Master Zhang suddenly realized, but he became more and more embarrassed: Not to mention that Li Shizhen's son is also a colleague in the officialdom, and he is friendly with the prince of King Jing, even if he is arrested ruthlessly, how can the people in the city who support the Li Medical Hall be willing to rest? If you let it go gently, the villagers of Hejia Village will not give up, and they will be controlled by the government, the province, and even go to Beijing to sue the emperor.

Alas~ This is Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror - he is not a person inside and out!

The sweat on Master Zhang's head was ticking down.

Or Li Shizhen reminded him: "Why didn't Zhang's parents order him to come and examine the corpse?" In the next only the living are treated, and the dead are not seen, maybe they have found something after seeing it. ”

Zhang Gongyu was overjoyed when he heard this, and Jiao Cheng made an on-site inspection.

The old man bowed his waist and carefully investigated, first looked at his throat, and saw that Zhang Gongyu did not speak.

Master Zhang slapped his thigh, "The official is about to die, you can say anything directly, every time you swallow and vomit, you are really helpless!" ”

Jiao Qizuo smiled at this time, and said: "The corpse's face is bruised, as if it was suffocated to death, but there is no scar on the throat, it is indeed a death from medicine or disease." ”

"Is it a drug death or a patient, you should be accurate!" Zhang Gongyu was so anxious that he was about to go crazy.

Jiao Chengzuo's old face flushed, he laughed twice ashamedly, rubbed his hands and said, "I can't take the small ones for sure." ”

You! If Zhang Gongyu hadn't cared about his identity as a top three-class jinshi, he would have raised his leg and kicked the old slippery buttocks.

The crowd began to stir again.

When he was anxious, Zhang Gongyu saw Qin Lin in the crowd and looked at this side with a smile.

The eldest man looked happy when he arrived, stepped forward and grabbed Qin Lin, like a life-saving straw falling from the sky: "Qin Xiaoyou, Qin Xiaoyou, God pity you are also there, oh yes, look at my surname, aren't you a disciple of the medical hall?" ”

Just now, the crowd was raging, and it was useless for Qin Lin to stand up, at this time the situation was controlled by the official, and he was about to show his skills, so he pulled himself out of the crowd with Zhang Gongyu.

"See Master Zhang for later life." Qin Lin made a gesture, "What the eldest master is anxious about is that he wants to avenge his master in his later life." ”

Zhang Gongyu was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked to the corpse with Qin Lin.

Qin Lin sneered and stared at He Erlang, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned playfully.

The filial son stalked his neck and said disapprehensively: "He is from the medical hall, and he still doesn't help his master speak?" ”

Zhang Gongyu flicked his sleeves: "Nonsense, how can you talk nonsense because of people?" As long as his words are reasonable, Master Ben will believe him. ”

Qin Lin stretched out his hand to the jaw joint of the corpse and pulled it, the corpse's mouth opened, and the facial muscles were tighter after death than in front of him, and the deceased's mouth opened and became hideous and terrifying, so he was not afraid of people!

"What are you doing?!" A few men from Hejia Village were not convinced.

Qin Lin ignored it and stared at He Erlang playfully, "When did your father die?" ”

A trace of panic flashed in He Erlang's eyes: "Yes, it's early this morning, about ugly, what's wrong?" ”

Qin Lin laughed, stretched out his finger and nodded at He Erlang's forehead: "Good, good, good, what a trick to defraud by borrowing corpses!" ”

Without waiting for He Erlang to argue, Qin Lin asked Jiao Yanzuo again: "When did the corpse become stiff after death?" ”

Jiao Chengzuo's dizzy old eyes lit up, and he hurriedly replied: "After death, the corpse becomes hard, and it will appear within about an hour or two, and after three or four hours, the whole body will be stiff as iron, and it will take more than three days after death to become soft again." This jaw is the strongest part of the corpse, since He Erlang said that his father died when he was ugly, then it has been more than three hours now, and the dead man's mouth must be tightly bitten, and there is no reason to open his mouth with a pinch at the lower jaw. ”

After saying this, Jiao Chengzuo had already admired Qin Lin beyond measure, just now he didn't even notice the problem of this old man, this young man actually discovered early on, what a sharp gaze this is, and what a wealth of experience!

Qin Linyin smiled and looked He Erlang up and down: "Then may I ask, why did your father's mouth open when he pinched it?" ”
