Chapter 480: Medicine for Eating Human Flesh

Zuo Shaoyang smiled indifferently: "The three conditions are indispensable!" Otherwise, he would have asked for another master. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 However, I can remind him that his disease, except me, I am afraid that no one can cure it! ”
"I know." Du Ruhui smiled helplessly and said with a wry smile: "The last condition is easy to do, because if he really commits a crime, even if he doesn't turn himself in, I will persuade him to go, or report to the emperor and bring him to justice." And this problem, now Dali Temple is still investigating, I can convey your request to him, but if he thinks that he has not committed a crime, there can be no question of surrender. ”
"How did he not commit a crime? I heard it with my own ears. ”
"What you hear with your own ears may not be true. A lot of things happen for a reason. Moreover, there is only your identification, there is no circumstantial evidence, and it cannot prove that Du Yan committed a crime. ”
Zuo Shaoyang is stupid, this is true, whether it is ancient or modern, there must be evidence to determine a crime, especially in ancient times, confession is the "king of evidence", if the criminal himself admits to the crime, even if there is no other evidence, he can be convicted, and the criminal himself does not admit the crime, even if there is other evidence, it generally cannot be convicted. Now that Du Yan has joined the insistence that he did not instigate the killing, his own confession alone will indeed not convict him. At the same time, Du Ruhui also said that there is a certain truth, hearing may not be true, and there may be other reasons.
Zuo Shaoyang thought for a while and said: "Well, you tell him this condition, if he finds out in his conscience, he should turn himself in, if he refuses to turn himself in, when the Dali Temple finds out in the future, he will still be unable to escape the law!" ”
"Hmmm! I can assure you that I will personally supervise the investigation of this case in Dali Temple and give you a clear explanation. If he is really guilty and refuses to turn himself in, I will not let him go. ”
"Good! I believe in you. Zuo Shaoyang said, "What about the other two conditions?" ”
Du Ruhui said: "If he really committed a crime, this official would be removed without his resignation, and his family wealth would be confiscated, so can these two conditions be ......?"
"Can't!" Zuo Shaoyang said categorically, "This has nothing to do with whether he committed a crime or not, even if Dali Temple finally judges a confused case and finds him innocent, he must resign and scatter his wealth!" These two conditions are the prerequisites for his treatment! ”
"Why?" Du Ruhui was a little puzzled, "If he doesn't commit a crime, he is a pillar of the country, he can benefit the society as an official, and his family wealth is not much. How to live? ”
Zuo Shaoyang said: "The cause of his wind poison edema disease, the most critical thing is that he ganged up in the officialdom, intrigued, bought and sold officials, great joy and sorrow, and the huge wealth allowed him to live a corrupt and degenerate life, and greatly damaged his body, so the two things of officials and wealth are the enemies of his disease, with these two things, even if I cure him, he will still commit it again, and the disease will get worse and worse, and there is no way to finally cure it." ”
Du Ruhui frowned: "Is this true? ”
"Naturally, take it seriously. I asked him to resign and scatter his wealth, but he lost his official position and money, and no one would follow him to ignore him, and he would lose the ability to harm others, and at the same time, they were also the two prerequisites for him to save his life. Therefore, whether he surrenders or not, I can choose by himself, and resignation and wealth are not negotiable! It must be done, and I also ask Prime Minister Du to personally supervise it, and assure me that you promised that he did it, and I also verified the truth before treating him. ”
Du Ruhui thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll tell him these three requirements of yours right away." ”
"Good!" Zuo Shaoyang glanced at Sun Simiao, only to see Sun Simiao smiling and nodding, and he also praised his two ideas. He said to Du Ruhui again: "Prime Minister Du, you are terminally ill, I can't prescribe a prescription for you, but after I decoct the medicine, you send someone to take it every three days and take it back to drink." I'll give you a follow-up appointment every once in a while and then adjust the prescription. ”
Du Ruhui nodded and said: "If this recipe can cure the disease of the corpse, it is a good prescription worth thousands of gold, so naturally we should be cautious." ”
Zuo Shaoyang thought for a while, and said: "Prime Minister Du's disease needs to be treated with medicine for a long time, as little as three or five months, or as much as a year or two, and other medicines are easy to handle, but in my prescription, there is a medicine, which is used for a long time, and the amount is very large, and it is not easy for me to find it myself, and I need Prime Minister Du's help to find it." ”
"What medicine? You say, I'll ask someone to find it. ”
"Purple River Car!"
"Purple River Car?"
Du Ruhui and Sun Simiao glanced at each other, both of them at a loss.
The purple river car is actually the placenta after the woman gives birth, and the placenta after giving birth is bright red, and after a while, it will turn purple, so it is called the purple river car. It is necessary to take the fresh placenta of the mother and prepare it.
The earliest use of Ziheche as a medicinal material was in the "Materia Medica" at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, no one knew that this thing could be used in medicine.
Because Du Ruhui's disease requires a long period of medication, and Zihe Che is a woman's placenta, and it needs to be fresh, this thing was not something that could be bought with money in ancient times. You have to rely on Du Ruhui's authority to find a way, otherwise people may not sell it. Not to mention buying in large quantities, I can't find a place to buy it.
Zuo Shaoyang saw that they were at a loss, and knew that they didn't know what it was at all, so he said: "Ziheche is the placenta after the woman gives birth, that is, the afterbirth, which is an important medicine for tonifying kidney yang, nourishing sperm and blood, and nourishing and strong. It has a strong ability to nourish yin, and makes yin grow and yang, and also greatly replenishes qi and blood, which is used for qi and blood insufficiency, weakness and labor injury......"
Du Ruhui's face changed color: "You, you don't want me to eat the woman's birthworth, right?" ”
Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile: "It's not for you to eat as food, this is a kind of medicinal herb, which is used to decoction ...... medicine."
"No!" Du Ruhan's old face turned red, and in a hurry, he coughed repeatedly, "I ......, even if I die ......of illness, I won't eat ......, and I won't eat women!" ”
The placenta is the placenta on a woman's body, and this thing sounds a little tiresome, especially in ancient patriarchal times, when men were reluctant to even approach the delivery room where a woman gave birth, let alone let him eat the placenta that a woman gave birth.
Sun Simiao was also a little displeased, twisted his beard and said, "Senior brother, how can this kind of thing be used in medicine?" You're not kidding. ”
"I'm not kidding." Zuo Shaoyang couldn't imagine such a big reaction from the two, "It's just a medicine, it's the same as the earth dragon (earthworm) and centipede, if you want to say disgusting, these are also disgusting, aren't they the same medicine?" ”
"That's different!" Sun Simiao frowned and said: "There is nothing wrong with using insects and the like into medicine, but you, taking the things delivered from a woman's lower body into the mouth is tantamount to eating human flesh raw!" How can it be compared! ”
Zuo Shaoyang couldn't cry or laugh: "How can this be eating human flesh raw?" This is the afterbirth, the ...... of childbirth."
"That's it!" Du Ruhui waved his hand, "No matter what, anyway, I will never eat this thing!" If I were to be cured of my illness with this thing and spread the word, how would I see people? Not to mention being an official. ”
Sun Simiao hurriedly said: "Senior brother, you still have to think of other ways." Can't it be replaced with other medicines? ”
Zuo Shaoyang shook his head and said: "His disease is a corpse disease of yin and yang deficiency, which has lasted for a long time, and it has not been cured for a long time, yin damage and yang, and has entered an advanced critical disease. And the purple river car is an important medicine for yin and yang and thickening the flavor and filling essence, which is absolutely indispensable! If you want this flavored medicine, the power of the entire prescription to nourish yin and replenish yang will inevitably be greatly reduced, and it is impossible to deal with a critical illness like Prime Minister Du! ”
Sun Simiao didn't know how Zuo Shaoyang's prescription was compatible, and he didn't even know what the treatment principle of corpse disease should be, that is, tuberculosis, so he couldn't say anything wrong with Zuo Shaoyang's words, seeing that Zuo Shaoyang valued this medicine so much, and even a little angry, obviously it was not a joke, and it couldn't be added or subtracted at will, so he said to Du Ruhui: "Prime Minister Du, otherwise, you can try it, my junior brother said that this medicine can't be reduced, I believe he won't joke about it." ”
"I'm not kidding!" Du Ruhui stood up with difficulty, and said with a gloomy face: "It's okay to let me die of illness, but it's absolutely impossible to let me eat human flesh!" That's it, and I'm leaving! As he spoke, he didn't want the maid to support him, and he staggered out.
Zuo Shaoyang really can't understand Du Ruhui's equating the afterbirth into medicine as eating human flesh, but there is some truth in thinking about it, the afterbirth is a part of the mother's body, just look at it like this, it is really eating human flesh, in modern society, there are still people who eat abortion fetuses, if Du Ruhui knows, I don't know how angry he will be.
Since Du Ruhui refused to take this medicine, he was not sure of tuberculosis in the first place, and now he is even more uncertain. Therefore, when I saw him leaving, I didn't say much.
Du Ruhui walked to the door and stood again, feeling that he was leaving like this, it was always inappropriate, maybe this was really a home remedy, although he couldn't accept it, but he shouldn't sprinkle his anger on others, not to mention asking people to treat his uncle Du Yan and save his life. Thinking of this, Du Yan turned around and arched his hand and said, "Zuo Gongzi, thank you for treating me, it's just that I really can't accept this prescription, but I still have to thank you." Uncle Jia's illness, I will go back and tell him your three conditions, if you can agree, please treat your uncle. ”
"Well, as long as he agrees to the conditions I just mentioned, I can treat him. In addition, Prime Minister Du, I remind you that your illness cannot be delayed any longer, if you don't treat it in time, you are only afraid of ......"
"What are you afraid of?" Du Ruyan asked lightly.
"I'm afraid I won't survive this winter!"
That is to say, there is still half a year to die at most, Du Ruhui smiled miserably and said, "Thank you Gongzi for reminding me!" Leave! "I walked out of the lobby, made a soft couch at the door, and carried it away.
Sun Simiao and Zuo Shaoyang kept sending him out of the gate.
