Chapter 244: Saving People 1
Wang Zhou turned around and entered the palace, and presented the news of Su Qiqi's assassination directly to Emperor Zhu Youzhang, who was shocked when he heard this, and immediately ordered the Tai Hospital to rush to the Dingbian Hou Mansion with more than ten Xinglin masters from the Tai Hospital.
Jiang Wei silently led people to the courtyard where Luo Qing was, although he didn't catch the initiator, but he caught three alive. As soon as the masks on these people's faces were removed, he had already identified them.
Although he didn't think that Luo Qing would be so mad as to poison his daughter, he had to ask Luo Qing for clarification. Not to mention whether Luo Qing is Zhang Ru's cheap old man or not, without the bond of Su Qiqi, Luo Qing is just a thief who is inextricably linked to the White Lotus Sect in Jiang Wei's eyes.
The people in the small courtyard went to the empty building, leaving only a letter, signed not by Luo Qing, but by the word Luofu.
Jiang Wei ordered to his subordinates with a gloomy face: "Check it for me immediately, let the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division seal the city gate, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without the order of the Hou Ye." They don't go far, they dig three feet into the ground, and they have to find people for me. ”
Jinyi Wei quickly deployed defenses, and soon, the huge capital was shrouded in a strange atmosphere.
More than a dozen old doctors with more or less white hair on their heads entered the Dingbian Hou Mansion one after another, originally in order to avoid secrecy, the imperial doctor who diagnosed Su Qiqi's pulse still wanted to hang the silk to diagnose the pulse. However, Zhang Ru didn't have so many taboos, he was full of thoughts about making Su Qiqi okay, so he didn't say a word and let the old lady directly diagnose the pulse.
The old lady doctor frowned, and it took a long time to let go of Su Qiqi's snow-white wrist, his eyes lowered, and he shook his head gently: "Master Hou forgives his sins, and the old man is only shallow in learning." ”
Zhang Ru arched his hand towards the old lady doctor with red eyes: "There is Lao Tai Doctor, let other gentlemen try it too." ”
Because his life in this world was saved by a doctor surnamed Liu in the Tai Hospital, Zhang Ru has been bad to many people over the years, but he only respects the old doctors in the Tai Hospital.
Although the other party gave a signal of powerlessness, Zhang Ru still politely asked the imperial doctor to go down and rest.
After more than a dozen imperial doctors took turns to diagnose, a group of old men put their heads together and whispered for a long time, and then the courtyard came over and said to Zhang Ru: "Master Hou, Madam may have been poisoned, but I have never seen this poison, and it is similar to the pull, but it is much weaker than the pull." It seems that some poisonous insects and poisonous herbs are mixed together to develop a mixed poison, this recipe, the old man dare not open it. ”
Zhang Ru said eagerly: "Is there no other way?" ”
The old lady doctor muttered: "It's not that there is no way, but Mrs. is Mrs., her body is not as strong as a man's, and the poison in Mrs. is unprecedented, if you rashly take the drug, I am afraid it will backfire." ”
Fan Wuyi said angrily: "You claim to be the most powerful Xinglin national player in the Ming Dynasty, and even you have no choice, don't you say that Madam is dead?" ”
The old lady doctor trembled, and suddenly remembered that the person in front of him, whom he called Hou Ye, was once the little master of the capital who was called the king of Hades, and he couldn't help but feel sad and at a loss.
Zhang Ru said softly: "There is Dr. Lao, old man, do you know, who in this world is the best at poison?" ”
When I was young, I also met many old doctors who were high-ranking people, and my eyes lit up: "Lao Yu once met an old gentleman in Yongzhou Mansion, but nearly 30 years have passed, and Lao Yu doesn't know if the old gentleman is alive." ”
When it comes to the life of the family, there is a humane person in the imperial doctor: "This prescription is not that it can't be used, but it must be lowered, and it can't be targeted at a kind of poison, once it causes a backlash, it will backfire." I know an old gentleman, but he doesn't have a permanent place to live and likes to collect medicine everywhere. ”
Zhang Ru immediately asked, "Do you know where this old gentleman is now?" ”
The imperial physician who spoke looked much younger than the others, and immediately replied when he heard Zhang Ru's question: "This old gentleman has been to the capital before, and I don't know who his surname is, only that his surname is Li, and he is an old man with a very stubborn personality." He said at that time that he was going to Changbai Mountain, but I really don't know where he is now. ”
After talking for a long time, it turned out to be nothing more than a bunch of nonsense.
Zhang Ru arched his hand to the group of imperial doctors with some disappointment: "There are gentlemen, Wang Zhou, send a few gentlemen away." ”
The young imperial physician who spoke followed the team and walked outside, and when he walked to the door, he seemed to remember something, and turned around suddenly: "Master Hou should also know that gentleman, remember that when that gentleman appeared in the Xiaguan Medicine Hall, he was followed by two brocade guards." ”
A figure appeared in Zhang Ru's mind.
He gave the Imperial Doctor a deep bow, "Thank you for reminding me." ”
Immediately, he turned his face to Wang Zhou and said, "Is it possible to contact the person who protects Li Lao closely?" Contact them immediately and invite Li Lao to the capital. ”
Wang Zhou nodded again and again: "My subordinates will do it immediately." ”
There is a mountain in Hunan called Longshan, there is a medicine king temple on the dragon mountain, and the temple enshrines the medicine king Sun Simiao, who has come here to collect medicine. There was only one small novice in the temple, but there was an uninvited guest sitting opposite the little novice.
"Little master, it's useless for this dragon tobacco to stay on the mountain, you give me two, I'll see if I can cultivate it artificially, the silver is easy to discuss, anyway, the old decay won't let you suffer." The old man sitting opposite Xiao Shami stroked his beard and smiled.
Xiao Shami's face was indifferent: "The old gentleman is also from the apricot forest, you must know that this dragon tobacco is all over the world, but there are more than 30 plants in the Yaowang Temple." The little monk waited again, but he was entrusted by his teacher on his deathbed. More than 30 dragon tobacco plants are indispensable, but they are all passed on to his disciples by the little monk in the future. ”
The old man almost said: "It is precisely because the old man is from the apricot forest that he takes the dragon tobacco so seriously." If you take the dragon tobacco down the mountain, I don't know how many lives can be saved. ”
The little novice was unmoved: "Entrusted by people, loyal to people, please forgive the little monk for not obeying his orders." ”
If it weren't for the polite words of this old man, and the two big men with five big and three thick men around him, the little monk might have used a broom to drive people out.
This old man has been coming to the mountain for half a month, and he pesters himself every day to ask for dragon tobacco, but this dragon tobacco can not survive anywhere except on the mountain.
It's not that the predecessors haven't tried to bring the dragon tobacco down the mountain, but the dragon tobacco brought down the mountain withered before it reached the bottom of the mountain. After two generations of cultivation by his master and master, it was not easy to restore the number of dragon tobacco to more than 30 plants, how could he casually hand over a treasure like dragon tobacco to others.
The little novice had already clearly refused, but the old man was still entangled: "Since this mountain is suitable for cultivation, why doesn't the little master plant it on a large scale?" The dragon tobacco that is grown can be bought with money. ”
The little novice seemed to have run out of patience, and said unhappily: "The old gentleman thinks this dragon tobacco is so easy to cultivate? It takes ten years for a mature dragon tobacco plant to produce seeds, and only one out of ten seeds may be able to germinate. Although the vitality of the germinated dragon tobacco is extremely tenacious, it is impossible to achieve the medicinal effect without 30 years of hard work.
When the family teacher was alive, he only cultivated fifteen dragon tobaccos, and it was not easy to cultivate them on a large scale.
Besides, as a monk, it is useless to ask for silver, and no matter how much money I have, I can't buy dragon tobacco. ”
A terrible eagle roar broke the silence on the mountain, and a giant eagle with six feet of wings flapped its wings and flew straight towards the inside of the Yaowang Temple.
The little novice's face changed dramatically, and he grabbed the futon behind his ass and threw it at the giant eagle.
At this moment, one of the brocade-clothed men who had been standing behind the old man suddenly pulled out his waist knife, and the sharp waist knife split the futon in half, and then the giant eagle landed on the arm of the brocade-clothed man.
The old man threw an apologetic smile at Xiao Shami: "Don't be surprised, little master, this flat-haired beast was raised by old decay. ”
Xiao Shami's face was not good: "Everything has its own destiny, and the old gentleman can be regarded as a master of the apricot forest who walks the rivers and lakes, such a king of the sky, I'm afraid there is something wrong!" ”
The old man said lightly: "People have a destiny for themselves, and this flat-haired beast also has a destiny. If the little master is willing to give Lao Yu three dragon tobacco, Lao Yu doesn't mind letting this flat-haired beast go. ”
Xiao Shami rolled his eyes: "You love to let it go, you want dragon tobacco, no way." ”
As soon as the words fell, the face of the man who had just taken off a small bamboo tube from the talons of the giant eagle changed greatly, he walked to the old man's side in a few steps, and after whispering two words in the old man's ear, he unfolded the note in his hand and presented it in front of the old man's eyes.
The old man looked down and sighed: "You adults are really not worry-free, the old man has become a slave of your Jinyi Guard." If you don't go, you can't go, the old man is old, and the capital is so far away, don't go. ”
The face of the man in brocade changed slightly, but his tone was still respectful: "Please also ask Elder Li to come with us, if Madame has something to say, I'm afraid that the adults will be mad." ”
The old man's eyes widened: "What if Zhang Xiaozi is mad, is it possible that he can still let Jinyiwei arrest the old man in Zhao Prison!" If you don't go, you won't go, and you won't go if you kill the old man. ”
The man in brocade wanted to slap the old man unconscious and take him away, but he didn't dare to do it, after all, this old man was the only person who could save people.
He said in a good voice: "The old gentleman and my family are old friends, the Buddhist family has clouds, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, not to mention that the old gentleman went to the capital this time, it is not just as simple as saving a life, perhaps, the old gentleman can save many people." ”
The old man was unmoved, and simply closed his eyes and pretended not to hear.
Another man who had not spoken all this time said coldly: "If the old gentleman doesn't go, if the adults are mad, maybe a lot of people will die in the capital, one or two will definitely not be able to stop the anger of the adults, there are no thousands of heads, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop." ”
Hearing the thousands of heads, the little novice's eyelids jumped for no reason.
He is a disciple of Buddhism, so he naturally does not like to kill.
Seeing that the old man was unmoved, the little novice also spoke: "The old gentleman should leave first!" Saving lives matters. ”
The old man opened his eyes and said: "Don't go, no one will go, this dragon tobacco is a good thing, without that thing, the old man can't save people." ”
The two men in brocade looked at each other, and knelt down towards the little novice: "Please be gracious to the little master." ”
Xiao Shami He had seen such a battle, and he was a little panicked at once, and he was busy trying to help the two, but he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was thin, where could he pull two eight-foot-tall men up.
"Don't do that, me." Little Shami was so anxious that beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
On the other hand, the old man looked indifferent, as if all this in front of him had nothing to do with him.
