Chapter 7 Why
It took Du He two days to return to Suzhou.
The matter was critical, he didn't make any stops, and came directly to Su's house, wanting to visit the person concerned.
came to the Su Mansion compound and collided with Xu Hui.
After learning that her father was also infected with the epidemic, Xu Hui immediately asked to be able to take care of her father.
Du Henian and their father-daughter relationship also readily agreed.
Xu Hui was dressed in white, her eyes were red, and there were signs of crying, and when she saw that she had bumped into someone, she hurriedly apologized.
Although Sun Simiao's antidote can alleviate pain, it has no effect on the epidemic. The patient is still losing weight day by day, especially in the hard-hit Su Province. Just yesterday, the most serious patient, has been determined to be dead.
This large-scale epidemic inevitably saw the first casualties.
The deceased was the only coolie worker in Su Province before his death, and he was responsible for carrying a large number of heavy objects every day, and his physical strength was extremely fast, and he drank a lot of water relatively more, so he was poisoned the deepest, and he was the most seriously infected.
Xu Hui saw that there had been casualties, and she was afraid that her father would not be able to support her, so she secretly grieved.
When Du He saw her rain with pear blossoms, he knew that it was because he saw that his father was in great pain and touched the scene, so he comforted: "Miss Xu, rest assured, Doctor Sun Simiao has arrived, the epidemic has been well controlled, and your father will definitely get better." ”
Xu Hui also knew that this was just a perfunctory comfort, but she still thanked her, and then asked, "What kind of epidemic is this?" She explained: "I overheard what Doctor Sun said about poison and poison, isn't this a plague? I...... I just asked, nothing else. ”
Du He smiled understandingly, his father was sick in bed, and as a child, it was natural for him to know about his father's detailed condition, and it was not a confidential matter anyway, so he said: "This epidemic is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster." He told Xu Hui what he knew so far, including the matter of the poison doctor surnamed Feng.
Xu Hui was stunned when she heard this, as if she had thought of something, her brows tightened, she knocked her head, and whispered to herself: "Surname Feng, doctor?" She suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be that he ......?"
"Who is it?" Seeing that Xu Hui seemed to know that Poison Doctor Feng, Du He also looked at her with a cautious face, looked at her with a little joy, put his hands on her shoulders, and said excitedly: "If you know him, just tell me!" Whether he can be caught or not is the key to this epidemic. ”
Xu Hui paused, seemed to be sorting out the memories in her mind, and said after a while: "It's called Feng, Feng Dongyu, yes, Feng Dongyu, that's the name!" This was five or six years ago, when I was only thirteen years old, and I don't remember very well, but I still have a deep impression of what happened back then. Feng Dongyu is well-known in Suzhou, his family has been a famous doctor for generations, and he is very prestigious in Suzhou. He is not very old, but he has followed his father to learn medical skills since he was a child, and he is famous, and people from all over the world call him Feng Xiaoshen. At that time, my aunt was seriously ill, and Feng Dongyu's father cured it with his skill, and the two families were very close at that time. My cousin Su Ziyun and Feng Dongyu can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, although they have not reached the point of talking about marriage, but the parents of both parties are not opposed to this family business. But Feng Dongyu got a book called Nanzhao Poison or something out of nowhere, and began to indulge in it. No longer treating patients, but likes to play with some poisonous insects and poisonous weeds. My cousin hates this kind of thing the most, so I'm estranged from him. ”
Soon after, a family of eunuchs moved to the capital, who seemed to be surnamed Zheng, and had some connections with the Su family. The two sides re-acquainted, and it happened that the Zheng family had a son, who was much better than Feng Dongyu. Anyway, I can't say how detailed it is. In short, it didn't take long for my cousin to get engaged to the Zheng family. Feng Dongyu heard the news and made a big fuss in the Su family, so my eldest sister-in-law, Su Zheqing, the head of the Su family, drove out. But in the days when the two families were preparing for the wedding, the Zheng family was poisoned and died. The matter was very big, and the government was involved, but because the murderer could not be caught, it was finally over. ”
"My eldest sister-in-law suspected that Feng Dongyu did it, but there was no evidence, so he just cut off the contact between the two families. And then that's what happened...... I still vaguely remember that day, I came to Sufu with my father as a guest. It was my cousin who received me and led me to play in the yard. Feng Dongyu came to Fuzhong out of nowhere, hoping that his cousin could elope with him. The cousin disagreed at first. I saw Feng Dongyu fierce and ran to call the adult, I don't know what they said, my cousin agreed, I wanted to go with him, and I happened to meet the eldest aunt who came over. The eldest aunt broke Feng Dongyu's leg in a fit of rage and threw him on the street, his father directly made him angry to death, and then there was no news of him. Whether the poison doctor surnamed Feng in the adult's mouth is him, I can't be sure. ”
There are not too many coincidences in this world, Feng Dongyu not only knows medical skills, but also got some poisonous books from Miao Jiang, and has a blood feud with the Su family, and he has the courage to poison his rival at a young age, which shows that he is a ruthless character.
All kinds of coincidences, taken together, are no longer coincidences.
Therefore, Du He concluded, "It should be him!" He hugged his fist at Xu Hui and said, "Thank you Miss Xu for your advice, if you can catch the real murderer behind this scene, the girl will be indispensable!" I don't know where my cousin is? I also want to ask her everything about this Feng Dongyu in detail, so that I can know some clues. Saying that, I also felt strange, I had long heard that Su Ziyun was the number one beauty in Jiangnan, but the Su family suffered this catastrophe, but they did not see a stunning woman in the house.
When Xu Hui heard this, her face was strange, and she hesitated for a while and said, "Alas, I don't hide it from my lord, my cousin died of illness three years ago, where are you going to find her." ”
"Dead?" Du He was a little dumbfounded, he remembered that Huangfu Haohua had said that he had seen Su Ziyun with his own eyes, could it be that he had seen a ghost, paused, and asked: "But my subordinates have seen her with their own eyes!" ”
Xu Hui smiled bitterly: "That's me!" In fact, this is the case, the embroidery of the Su family has been passed on to women but not to men since ancient times, and only one person. My cousin Su Ziyun is the heir of embroidery, the only heir. But three years ago, she fell ill and died, suffering from an incurable disease, and she had already gone before she could pass on her skills. The world-famous Su family embroidery has also been lost, and no one in the world knows the technique. The Su family is famous for embroidery, and the loss of embroidery will be a great blow to the Su family, so the aunt and uncle concealed their cousin's death. And I want to cover up the constant fabrication of false news to make others think that my cousin is still alive. When you really need a real person to come forward, let me replace it, and no one will notice it if you wear a veil anyway. ”
Du He looked at Xu Hui's face, and completely understood that Xu Hui's appearance was indeed worthy of the title of the first beauty in Jiangnan. After a pause, he said, "Then let's find Su Zheqing, he may know something." ”
Xu Hui said: "My aunt is no longer in the house, and before the outbreak of this epidemic, he temporarily went to Yangzhou for business matters...... It's not good, the one surnamed Feng is so vicious, he can't easily forgive my eldest uncle. She was anxious.
Du He was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "It should be said that God helps me!" You are right, in the eyes of the surnamed Feng, this Su Zheqing is his biggest enemy. Now he must be in Yangzhou, looking for an opportunity to poison Su Zheqing, and this is also an opportunity for us to find him out. ”
Xu Hui also came to her senses, covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Then my aunt-in-law is not very dangerous?" ”
Du He smiled confidently: "As long as you arrive in time, he will not be in danger!" As he spoke, he muttered slightly: "Miss Xu, can you come with me, I need you to trust Su Zheqing." Only if Su Zheqing is willing to cooperate in this matter, can I find out the people behind the scenes as I wish. ”
Xu Hui was worried about her father, but after thinking about it, she couldn't catch the mastermind behind the scenes, and it was a waste of time for her to stay aside, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go!" ”
When he came to the inn, Du He brought two horses.
Xu Hui was embarrassed, she is from Jiangnan, and she is a beautiful girl, where can she ride a horse!
When Du He saw her look, he came over and motioned for him to get on the horse, and the two rode together.
A red glow flew on Xu Hui's face, but the matter was serious and urgent, and she couldn't care about anything else.
Chang'an Taiji Palace Manna Palace!
Li Shimin was reviewing the recital, and he had already received the news that Du He had pacified Li Jiancheng's remnants.
The feeling of pulling out the thorns on his back made him feel indescribably happy, and the smile on his face was several times more than the original, and he was bold and energetic in dealing with government affairs, and he secretly praised Duhe's son-in-law in his heart.
Since Li Jiancheng's remnants were hiding in Jiangnan, he had been paying attention to the movements in the south recently, and found that Jiangnan was more meaningful to development than he had imagined.
The land there is more fertile than the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan in Guanzhong, and the products are also quite rich, the only defect is that the population is too small, once the population surges, Jiangnan has become the first treasure land for grain production!
What Datang lacks now happens to be food!
Due to the prestige of Hou Junji and Du He in the battle of Gaochang, the countries of the Western Regions were terrified, and they worshiped the envoys of the Tang Dynasty as gods and gave maximum support to the caravans between the two places.
Even the Eastern Turks, who were enemies of the Tang Dynasty, kept showing goodwill to the Tang Dynasty.
Because of the smooth flow of the Silk Road, the commercial profits brought to Datang are incomparably huge.
Economically, the cost of the Tang Dynasty's conquest in the past few years has been compensated, but it is difficult to make up for the food, which has become the primary issue of the Tang Dynasty's current state affairs.
Whether Jiangnan should be developed or not has become a top priority.
Li Shimin remembered that Du He had vaguely proposed that Jiangnan was a good place to be developed. It's just that he didn't care about it at the time, but when he thought about it so carefully, he felt intriguing and worth considering.
At this moment, I suddenly got an eight-hundred-mile rush from Duhe.
Li Shimin strangely asked people to send it up urgently, opened it and looked at it, and shivered: "The epidemic in Suzhou is prevalent, and 150,000 people are suffering!" ”
