Chapter 95: The Frog Testifies
Speaking of this, Lu Fengniang hesitated for a moment, looked back at the crowd of onlookers in front of the lobby not far away, and said: "This matter is a long story, why don't you go back to the hall first, and I'll tell you slowly when you get home, okay?" ”
Lu Jinping also felt that this matter could not be explained in a few words, so he nodded immediately: "Okay!" Let's talk about it when we get home. ”
Lu Jinping returned to the lobby and sat down, just at this time the scribe came back with two legal codex, and sent them to Lu Jinping with both hands.
Lu Jinping saw that it was exactly the two Tang Dynasty laws he needed, he had read them several times, knew what the approximate position was, and soon found the seventh "Miscellaneous Laws" "Medical medicine is not as good as prescription". At that moment, he said loudly: "Huang Langzhong, listen, the "Yonghui Law" stipulates that "all doctors combine medicine for people, and the questions are sparse, acupuncture, mistakes are not as good as their own side, and those who kill people will be imprisoned for two and a half years." Here's the proof! ”
Huang Langzhong didn't wake up for a moment, and said in a daze: "What kind of evidence is this ......?" ”
"Evidence of your guilt!" Lu Jinping slapped the book in his hand on the desk, "You don't know where to get an inexplicable prescription to give people medicine, it's 'not as good as this prescription'." Ah no, you can't even say 'inferior to your side', it's that you don't have this side at all! According to the Tang law, there must be prescriptions for curing diseases, and these prescriptions must be scriptures recorded in medical books. Your prescription is actually a private prescription given by an inexplicable wandering monk, not the prescription in the medical book, so it is not as good as the prescription, whether it is intentional or negligent, it is a crime! If it's intentional. It should be dealt with as intentional homicide! If it is negligence, it will also go to jail for at least two and a half years! ”
Huang Langzhong was frightened: "But, I can't prove that his father died of taking my medicine." ”
"Now your sin is not that problem. It's that your prescription has no provenance, and if you use a prescription without provenance to treat people, whether it causes casualties or not, it is a crime! ”
Huang Langzhong woke up like a dream, and suddenly collapsed on the ground: "This ......, this ......"
"This sin is not unjust to you, is it? You lose money first, and after you are done. The yamen will come again to punish your sins, and you will take the blame on yourself. If you lost money in the past, and the yamen didn't know that you used the recipe you didn't come from to treat people, then you wouldn't care about it, but now the yamen is making trouble. Of course, the yamen cannot sit idly by. ”
At this moment, Zhang Dalang next to him was even more overjoyed, and kept kowtowing and shouting Lord Qingtian. And Huang Langzhong was already dumbfounded, trembling all over, and he couldn't imagine that things would come to this extent. He thought it would be a big deal to lose money, but now he didn't expect to get into a lawsuit, and he would have to squat for two and a half years in prison, and he might even be identified as intentional homicide and lose his head, and suddenly the whole person was stupid. shouted and begged Lord Qingtian to spare his life: "Sir, I'll tell you the truth." That recipe is not a secret recipe given to me by a wandering monk, but a recipe in a medical book, it's true. I made the pills for him according to the prescription in the medical book......"
"Nonsense! Since it is a prescription in a medical book, how can it eat a dead person? Still babbling! ”
"It's true, this recipe is a medical book called "The Legend of the Immortals", written by Ge Hong, a famous doctor in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there must be this book in the medical hall of the old man's yamen, and you can see it when you take it to the master."
Lu Jinping really didn't have much research on Chinese medicine. However, the basic knowledge of Chinese medicine he learned let him know Ge Hong, who was a famous doctor in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. His "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" is famous in the history of Chinese medicine. It's just that he doesn't know that this Ge Hong has some other medical works, one of which is called "The Legend of the Immortals". At that moment, he said to the bear catcher next to him, "You send someone to the infirmary to find this book." ”
The bear catcher hurriedly agreed and ordered people to run to get the book.
Lu Jinping then asked: "Tell me what's going on first?" I warn you, this time you must tell the truth, and if you hide it any more, you will be punished! ”
"Yes, yes, the villain must report it truthfully. The big red pill I gave his father was not a secret prescription, I lied to him. That day, he said that his father's waist and hip bone pain had not been cured, and he had taken many medicines to no avail. I happened to see this prescription in Ge Hong's medical book, and the symptoms are also correct, and it said that this prescription Dahong Pill can treat bone and joint pain and coldness, internal and external damage, external swelling and internal pain, and limb pain and fatigue. I didn't use it either, so I wanted to make him a little money, so I said I got a secret recipe and wanted to use it for him to try. This is the recipe left in the ancient book, so I told him, he said that as long as he can eat well, no matter how much money he wants, he doesn't want to watch his father hurt every day, rolling on the bed, so I asked him to come back the next day, because I can't prescribe a prescription for him, otherwise he will take it and ask someone who understands it to know that it is not a secret recipe. So I had to make my own pills and sell them to him in order to make money. I made my own pills according to the prescription in the medical book. When he came the next day, I gave him the pills and told him that he had 3,000 pills, and sold three of them to him, and I made the medicine exactly according to the prescription in the medical book. So I'm sure it'll be fine. ”
Lu Jinping asked: "What is the compatibility of the big red pill on the recipe?" Do you remember? ”
"I can't remember, in fact, my medical skills are sparse and ordinary, and I usually treat injured wounds, and it's okay to have a cold and diarrhea, but I won't be able to go deeper."
Lu Jinping said: "But your uncle Huang Dashan said that you are very good at bone grafting." ”
"That's just what my uncle deliberately told others in order to make my business easier. Actually, I'm not very good at bone grafting. ”
At this time, the official rushed in and put a book in front of Lu Jinping, Lu Jinping picked it up and looked at it, and it really read "The Legend of the Immortals" by Ge Hong. threw the book to Huang Langzhong: "You find out the recipe and I'll take a look." ”
Huang Langzhong took the book, quickly turned to a page, and said, "This is the recipe." ”
Lu Jinping took the book and looked at the prescriptions and medications one by one. Suddenly, his gaze froze, and his gaze fell on the flavor medicine "Chuanwu" on it, which read: "Chuanwu, one catty and seven taels, simmer in the fire." ”
Seeing this, he roughly understood what was going on.
Lu Jinping asked Huang Langzhong: "What does this 'fire simmering' mean?" ”
Huang Langzhong didn't know that Lu Jinping was a forensic doctor who had crossed over, he mainly studied Western medicine, and he only knew some basic things about Chinese medicine, and he didn't have any research on concoction, he just estimated that it was a concoction method, and it was not clear what was going on, and he thought that Lu Jinping wanted to test his concocting skills. Although his medical skills are average, he still understands the preparation, and simmering is a relatively common method of processing. Busy with a smile said: "This method means that after wrapping Chuanwu in wet kraft paper, bury it in hot ash and heat it until Chuanwu is charred and cracked." ”
Lu Jinping nodded slowly, and after listening to this concoction method, he was even more convinced that he had found the answer.
Lu Jinping said to Judicial Luo next to him: "Because this case involves the determination of the Jing side, I will withdraw from the court first, and after I test it, I will re-ascend to the court to adjudicate the case at a later date." ”
Of course, Judicial Luo listened to him, and immediately took a shock, announced his withdrawal from the court, and chose another date to be promoted to the court to decide the case. The coffin was first placed in the Yamen mortuary for storage, and Huang Langzhong was ordered to provide a guarantor, promising not to leave the same state, and waiting for the Yamen to summon him.
Lu Jinping instructed Xiong Zhutou to send a few pills that Huang Langzhong took from the pharmacy just now to Zhang Dalang, and asked, "You can identify this pill, is it the pill that your father died after eating it?" ”
Zhang Dalang nodded and said, "That's right, it's this kind of pill, I bought three pills and ate two, and there is still one left at home." ”
Lu Jinping said: "Okay, then you hurry back and send me the rest of the moment, I want to test." ”
"Detection? What is detected? ”
"To find out what caused your father's death, you have to find out about it before you decide how to deal with it. Alright, don't be verbose, hurry up and get the stuff here. ”
Zhang Dalang didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly agreed, and went out of the lobby to get the medicine.
The test that Lu Jinping needs to do is to determine whether the deceased died of aconitine poisoning.
Among the prescriptions used in Huang Lang is a medicine called Chuanwu. Chuanwu belongs to a type of aconitum sinensis. Aconitum is a commonly used analgesic that is mainly used to treat joint pain, rheumatic pain, and abdominal pain, but it is highly toxic. The toxic ingredient in it is called aconitine. The most common symptoms of aconitine poisoning are numbness in the lips and fingers, and a burning sensation in the stomach, which is the same as what Zhang Dalang said his father had after taking the pills. And the prescriptions provided by Huang Langzhong, among them are Chuanwu, and the dose is very large. Therefore, Lu Jinping suspected that the deceased died of aconitum alkaloid poisoning. He was going to do a biological experiment to see if the pills contained alkaloids.
Soon, Zhang Dalang sent the remaining pill.
During this period, Lu Jinping asked Xiong Zhutou to send someone to the vegetable market to buy two frogs and come back. In the same state, peasant women, especially country children, often catch frogs and sell them in the market, so they can easily buy them. At the same time, let Ye Qingqing go back and bring his forensic investigation box.
After the things arrived, Lu Jinping entered the warehouse, he asked Ye Qingqing to guard at the door, and he closed the door and started the test.
Lu Jinping first tested the pill that Zhang Dalang brought.
He cut a small pill, dissolved it in a 1% acetic acid solution, then took out a syringe, extracted ten milliliters of the solution, and injected it into the frog's lymphatic sac.
After only a few moments, the frog's eyes protruded and reddened, and began to spasm, then leaped into the air, and after a few times, its limbs twitched, its hind limbs kicked back, and it soon died.
This phenomenon of frog jumping and spasm is unique to the injection of aconitine, which does not appear with other drugs, which can verify that there is an excessive amount of aconitine in this pill.
Lu Jinping took another pill that Huang Langzhong took from the pharmacy and tested it on another frog, and the results were basically the same, proving that Huang Langzhong's other pills also contained excessive amounts of aconitine.
Lu Jinping's judgment was confirmed, and he immediately packed up his things and came to Luo Justice's signing room. (To be continued)
