In the capital, the Imperial Medicine Workshop of the Tai Hospital was busy, and the medicine drawers were like a high wall, reaching the roof. The young physician stepped on a ladder, weighed the medicine on a small copper scale, and then took it down and handed it to the old physician who was in charge of dispensing the medicine.

The old Taiyi was busy, and the young Taiyi should be studying on the side, but he was a little active, and when he saw his father take out a piece of medicinal herbs in the shape of a big money from his arms, he took it with his hand, put it on his nose and smelled it, and then habitually wanted to bite it and taste the taste.

The old doctor saw it and hurriedly stopped: "Can't smell 1"

The young imperial physician asked strangely, "Isn't this a turtle, it's not a big deal to taste it, right?" The old imperial doctor looked around and whispered: "This is the Tianzhu Turtle, it's different from the ordinary one..............." "Why is it different?" The young physician wondered.

The old imperial physician looked at his son and student a little helplessly and said: "Say that you are not good at learning, you are still not convinced" said in a lower voice: "The turtle is highly poisonous, but after it is concocted, it is no longer toxic, and it can also play a good calming role." Tai Hospital's Qingxin Pill is so good that it works. "Then why do you want to change it to a Tianzhu turtle?" The young imperial physician asked curiously.

"Because it's more toxic,... This kind of processing method can remove its flavor and not its poison. The old lady doctor said in a low voice: "The Qingxin Pill made of it, after people eat it, they will be frightened and frightened, and they will be full of conjectures, as long as they take it for dozens of days in a row, they will go completely crazy" The old doctor looked at his father in surprise and said: "That old ...... pavilion"

"Stay.!" The old lady doctor was the Chen Sicheng who treated Zhang Siwei, he hurriedly interrupted his son, turned his head and looked around nervously, and saw that there was no one else before he was relieved, and lowered his voice to warn: "If you tell half a word to anyone, our two will die!" The young imperial physician was stunned, staring blankly at the piece of medicinal herb in his hand.

His father left him alone, put the prepared herbs in a basket, and went to the pharmacy in the cubicle.

In the pharmaceutical room, there are five large stoves and five steaming copper soup pots sitting side by side.

Each soup pot is surrounded by several pharmacists who are cutting, pounding, adding medicine, and adding soup Although they are configuring different medicines and the process is complex, they have a clear division of labor, skillful actions, and do not disturb each other.

The corner of the pharmacy room is a relative area. The stove tray is extraordinarily large, and the medicine jar for cooking the medicine is also extraordinarily delicate. Imperial Physician Chen walked over, put the basket on the table and took it over to the pharmacist who was in charge of the pharmacy, put it on the table in the same way, opened it and inspected it, and made a register of each medicine.

Imperial Physician Chen breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Take out a furnace of Qingxin Pill, and send it directly to me." The pharmacy began to make medicine according to his instructions The next day, a furnace of Qingxin Dan similar to soybeans came out, and after the eunuchs received the medicine, they put the medicine residue into a box according to the custom, and sent it to the backyard storage warehouse for preservation According to the regulations, the medicine residue in the hospital cannot be littered, and it should be left for a period of time for future reference. In most cases, the medicine box will sleep in the storage for half a year, and then dispose of it as a cost.

However, soon after the medicine box was delivered, it was opened by the clerk in charge of the storehouse, and a lump of medicine residue was taken from it, and carefully placed it in a white porcelain bottle.

One by one, one After a while, he picked up the tea in the cup and rinsed his mouth, but he still had a big tongue and said, "Master"

"What master?" Wang Chonggu asked with concern.

"Someone replaced the turtle with the Tianzhu turtle," the old man gently rubbed his numb cheeks and said, "No wonder I can't see the difference between medicine." "The old man is Yang Duanzhou, a famous doctor named after Li Shizhen, and the conclusion is naturally good.

"What's the difference between these two drugs?" Wang Chonggu asked eagerly.

"The latter is uncommon and has the same traits as the domestic ones, so many guys from the hospital will admit that they are wrong. But the toxicity is much greater. Although the turtle itself is toxic, but the medicine is three points poisonous, as long as it is handled well, it is a good medicine for curing diseases. But if this kind of Tianzhu is more than five points toxic, it is not to save people, but to harm people. The Qingxin Pill made from it will make people mentally disordered if they eat it. ”

Wang Chonggu was not happy that his guess was confirmed, but his face was a little pale, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, he took two sips of tea, calmed down and said, "Brother Yang, you said, is it possible that the wrong medicine was used?" "Impossible" Yang Duanzhou shook his head and said: "If I hadn't seen it once in Shanghai, even the old man wouldn't have recognized the rare medicine of Tianzhu Turtle, and the medicinal materials in the Tai Hospital were all strictly limited in origin, how could it be mixed?" ”

"..............." Wang Chonggu nodded and said, "I see." ”

"If someone takes it wrong.

Yang Duanzhou Road! "I prescribe a prescription and apply it externally and internally for a month, and it will be cured.

"Thank you, brother." Wang Chonggu hugged his fists and thanked him, and asked the housekeeper to take Yang Duanzhou to the outer study to prescribe medicine. When he arrived at the door, he stopped, looked at the autumn scene in the courtyard, and couldn't help but shudder, and muttered: "Revenge, it's finally here, I'll say they can't ......finish it like this," Mr. Zheng, the master beside Dong Weng, asked softly: "What are they referring to in the Shen Party?" Chonggu was a little depressed and said: "The strength of the Shen Party is far above my Jin Party, and they have a strict organization, even if Shen Jiangnan is gone, that Qionglin Society can still gather all aspects of strength." He tightened his collar and said in a trembling voice, "And,

It's hard to say whether Shen Jiangnan is dead or alive......"

"I haven't heard from him for months, can he still live?" Master Zheng didn't believe it.

"The officials and gentlemen in the capital are always extremely afraid of the sea, thinking that it is normal to have no return." A hint of mockery hung on the corner of Wang Chonggu's mouth: "... But from Shanghai to Tianjin, it is a coastal route, not an ocean-going voyage, unless there is a typhoon, it is no different from running a boat on an inland river...", he said in a low voice: "I ordered people to visit the coastal counties. During that time, there were no records of typhoons passing through, and although this does not mean that there were no typhoons at sea, the possibility is very slim. "If you are silent alone" Master Zheng still didn't believe it: "It's still possible to run away, but there are more than a thousand forbidden army escorts!" Can those people not come back and report the letter? ”

"If it were someone else, of course it wouldn't be. But Daming's sailor started from scratch, and he built it all by himself. Wang Chonggu sighed and said: "If I had known at the time, I would definitely not have let them do it at sea, wouldn't that be tantamount to sending myself into the mouth of the tiger?" After a pause, he said: "Two months ago, Dengzhou Wei found more than a dozen corpses wearing the color of forbidden military uniforms, according to the analysis, it should have floated from the Dengzhou waterway, I asked people to look for it in the waterway, and sure enough, I found traces of the sunken ship, which should be one of the capital ships escorting." ”

"What does this mean?"

"This means that there was a naval battle in the Dengzhou waterway, as a result of which one of the escort ships was sunk, most of the soldiers were rescued, and then disappeared from the offshore sea." Wang Chonggu Road.

"Where can they go?" "The world is so big, there are more places to go" Wang Chonggu shook his head and said: "Luzon, Annam, Japan, North Korea." These are not our spheres of influence, he must be hiding his tracks, and we will not find them. "Why did he do that?" Master Zheng asked, "No, can you ride on the sea?" "He is not Confucius's column, only a scholar with an untimely belly." Wang Chonggu said: "He has the strength to change the color of heaven and earth, and this time I am afraid that it is a plan to use the golden cicada to get out of its shell." "What's the picture?"

"It's hard for a township official, and Xu Ge Lao is an example. ，… Wang Chonggu said: "Shen Jiangnan must have learned the lesson of Xu Huating, did not give political enemies a chance to rectify themselves, and hid in the shadows, which can make the enemy relax their vigilance and do many presumptuous things." Said with a slight frown and said: "This reminds me of the allusion of Zheng Boke Duan Yubu, the current emperor is narrow and willful, so happy, how similar is it to Gongshu Duan?" I'm afraid that Shen Jiangnan wants to learn from Zheng Zhuanggong, and if he does too much injustice, he will kill himself. "Ah" Master Zheng was shocked: "He is so bold that he actually targets the emperor's nose!" ”

"What is an emperor?" Wang Chonggu said contemptuously: "It's just that my generation watched grow up with a small yellow mouth."

Er, is it just because he was born in the emperor's family that he can do anything wanton and murder ministers who have contributed to the society several times? ”

"Listening to Dong Weng's meaning, it seems to approve of him" Master Zheng calmed down after a while: "But now that he is attacking your nephew, the next step is to deal with the Jin Party!" "Not necessarily." Wang Chonggu shook his head and said, "After so much time, he must have calmed down, and he should be able to distinguish Ziwei from the Jin Party." Unless he wants to start a civil war, he will not completely break with our Jin Party. The Jin merchants and the southeastern merchants had extensive trade cooperation, and the Japanese and Huilian even cross-shareholdings were the basis for peace between the two sides."

"But the premise is to give up Fengpan," Master Zheng said quietly.

Wang Chonggu's expression froze, paused, and said word by word: "People, you must be responsible for what you have done. He exhaled a deep breath and said, "Let Feng Pan step down from the position of first assistant first, and in the future, let's take a step at a time." ”
