Chapter 158: It's over
"Someone's coming, help! Kill! ”
Qian Wen was chatting with a few guards at the table and chair outside the cell, but when he suddenly heard Zhao Xian's frightened call, he immediately changed color, stood up and ran to the cell with a knife.
Before he could reach the door, Zhao Xian ran out of the single room of the cell, covered his chest with his hands, and staggered a few steps to the ground before falling to the ground.
My God, Qian Wen's face suddenly turned as white as paper, if the only descendant of Zhenguo Gong died on an errand with him, his family would have to be clicked by the angry and desperate Old Man An.
"What can you do? Go and call the doctor, I want to play dead man. He hurriedly pounced on Zhao Xian and said in horror: "Brother Zhao, are you okay, that Cheng Qing dared to hurt you, he ate the gall of the ambitious leopard?" ”
The corners of Zhao Xian's painful mouth twitched, and he said angrily: "I saw through that guy's vicious tricks, how could I have thought that he would be so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die with me, and took my saber away while I wasn't paying attention, and I was stabbed by him before I could react, oops!" It hurts me to death! Call the doctor..."
Qian Wen was angry and annoyed when he heard this, this Cheng Qing was too bold, why did he drag down so many people if he didn't want to live.
He angrily pulled out his waist knife and went to the cell to probe, walked to the door and took a look, but he hissed violently, only to see Cheng Qing lying on the wall with a knife in his hand, there was a blood hole in his forehead, and there were blood stains on the wall, which seemed to have committed suicide by hitting the wall.
Qian Wen's angry face froze instantly, and after thinking left and right, he turned his head and glanced at Zhao Xian, the wound on his chest and the painful cramp didn't seem to be fake.
Qian Wen put the knife back with a gloomy face, raised his hand to stop the guards who were about to go in to get people, and said coldly: "Cheng Qing knows that he has committed a heinous crime, and he has committed suicide in fear of crime, so you don't have to go in." ”
After speaking, he walked to Zhao Xian's side with a not very good-looking face, helped him up and whispered: "Brother Zhao, there are some things that you can tell me directly, just with the prestige of Zhenguo Gong and his old man, I will also make it convenient, why bother to engage in this battle?" ”
Zhao Xian's face changed slightly, and he frowned: "Brother Qian, aren't you suspecting me of making a bitter trick and deliberately killing Cheng Qing?" ”
Isn't it? Qian Wen sighed lightly, and nodded with an expression of 'I understand': "Brother, how can I doubt you, that Chengqing deliberately slandered the family of the old lady Feng, and after being found out, he was angry and wanted to assassinate you, and after he failed, he committed suicide in fear of crime, the matter has been clarified, and there is no need to check the dregs, I will report to the Criminal Department how to sentence and how to sentence." ”
Zhao Xian's face immediately darkened, and he snorted: "My dignified Liang Zhongyong Bojia Zhengxi general, killing an imperial doctor prisoner using this method?" There is no problem with the medicine residue in the first place, it is Cheng Qing's annoyed and embarrassed hand, you don t believe it, present the gold box to the criminal department for them to examine carefully, if I am wrong, the Feng family will be destroyed. ”
"Do you want to submit it to the Criminal Department?" Seeing that Zhao Xian still insisted on continuing to investigate, Qian Wen frowned, hesitated in his heart, and said secretly: "Even if Zhao Xian directly kills Cheng Qing, I am forced to cover up for him due to the coercion of the An family, and he really doesn't need to stab himself." And if he really wants to use the method of killing people to protect the Feng family, now that I am relieved, he should borrow the donkey from the slope to write down his favor, but he still insists on submitting the medicine residue to the criminal department for inspection, obviously to insert this matter into the water, is there really no problem with the medicine residue, is it Cheng Qing slandering the Feng Imperial Doctor was discovered, and he committed suicide after being angry and angry with Zhao Xian? ”
This messy thing can be embarrassing Qian Wen, thinking about it, I think about it and feel that there are two possibilities and a half, Cheng Qing hated his master Qian Wen also heard it with his own ears, maybe this guy is really so bold. Now as long as you find out whether the medicine residue is ginseng or Shang Lu, you can know that what the two of them said is true.
Qian Wenwen wanted to sell Zhao Xian a face and not continue to investigate, but seeing that Zhao Xian insisted, he also wanted to find out who was right and who was wrong, so as not to consciously sell face, and people would not appreciate it.
Qian Wen hurriedly ran into the cell and took out the gold box, and then helped the weak Zhao Xian out of the prison and ran to the front yard.
At this time, Jiao Fei, the servant of the Criminal Department, had already finished the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, and returned to the prison to investigate the imperial doctor who prescribed medicine to the old emperor. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Zhao Xian and Qian Wen running out covered in blood, Jiao Fei was shocked and thought that someone had robbed the prison, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Two commanders, what's going on?" Quickly transfer the forbidden army...... Oops! Lord Zhao, are you seriously injured? You must not have anything to do, if something goes wrong in my land, An Guogong must not cut me to death. Call the Imperial Doctor......"
Seeing his incoherent expression, Qian Wen hurriedly raised his hand to stop: "Master Jiao, no one robbed the prison, but there was a small problem, and I called you here because I want you to decide." ”
Qian Wen said that Cheng Qing found that the medicine residue was wrong, and then Zhao Xian found that there was nothing wrong in the medicine residue, although Cheng Qing 'committed suicide in fear of sin', but this matter could not be concealed and not reported, so he presented the medicine residue to Jiao Fei for re-examination to see what to do.
Jiao Fei was furious when he heard this, took the golden box and said: "This Cheng Qing is really bold, nine times out of ten he is talking nonsense, and he even dares to assassinate Lord Zhao, isn't it tired and crooked, but because of the rules, I still have to check this scum, Lord Zhao, don't be careful, I don't need to doubt the meaning of your vision." ”
Seeing that this half-old man was an adult, Zhao Xian was a little embarrassed, raised his hand and said: "It's okay, this matter is related to the first emperor, and I must find out, but I am about to lose too much blood, so ask the doctor to come over and treat my injuries quickly." ”
This sentence Zhao Xian is true, he has been weak in the rain all night these days, and he can't stand it even if he is beaten by a knife and bleeding more than iron.
Jiao Fei nodded again and again, and hurriedly invited a few respected imperial doctors and medicinal herb experts, and while bandaging Zhao Xian's wounds, he began to examine the medicinal residue.
The old lady Feng and other suspects were brought into the house, and the eunuchs and medicine boys who gave medicine to the old emperor knelt down in the lobby together, and when they found that there was a problem with the medicine residue, the guards who were present were also brought here.
Feng Lianxue knelt behind his father, Mrs. Feng, and looked at the family members beside her sadly, the box containing the dregs of medicine hung her heart high like a magic barrier, and it was a little difficult to breathe, looking for Zhao Xian's figure everywhere, but the shadow of that person could be seen there.
The old lady Feng was more than sixty years old, and her body collapsed when she was frightened by this incident, and she kept wanting to cough, and she held back for fear of angering several officials above, this is a matter related to his wife, and everything will be over if there is a slight mistake.
Several doctors who inspected the medicine residue were familiar with him, but they didn't squint at this time and ignored him at all, so as not to be suspected of deliberately covering up and implicating.
Feng Lianxue was even more miserable when she saw this scene, these usual uncles and uncles avoided them like snakes and scorpions, and the heirs of the high-ranking princes would take risks to save their families. She couldn't help but tears rolled down, looking at a few nephews and nieces who were waiting to be fed, and her lips bit tighter and tighter.
Under the supervision of Qian Wen and Jiao Fei, several old doctors and medicinal herb experts opened the golden box, took the prescription and looked at it, and carefully checked the comparison and identification of the medicinal residue.
Feng Lianxue's heart was raised to her throat at this time, and her body couldn't help but tremble. Qian Wen also frowned, touched his chin and said nothing.
After a while, several old doctors nodded, and did not speak and talk, the leader walked directly to Jiao Fei, bowed down and said: "Lord Yu, the prescription is angelica, Chuanxiong, safflower, Aracea, and strychnine, there is no problem, and the medicine residue is angelica, Chuanxiong, safflower, Araceus, and strychnine, and there is no problem, and there is no error in the prescription and slag." ”
The rest of the doctors also nodded yes, and even explained the ingredients and effects of these herbs in detail, proving that there was no problem at all.
The old lady Feng was ecstatic, trembling and almost pumped over, the wind imperial doctor was even more paralyzed, but he bit the tip of his tongue and had a strong spirit, and his heart was moved beyond words, looking left and right, but she still didn't see Zhao Xian's shadow, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, but the emotion was all written on her face.
Zhao Xian saw this scene next door, and he was often relieved, and looked at his bloody hands, at least a little comforted.
Qian Wen was surprised when he heard that the medicine residue was really fine, which proved that Zhao Xian was telling the truth, and it was indeed Cheng Qing's deliberate slander.
Thinking of this, Qian Wen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, I delayed this matter overnight, if I presented it to the emperor in advance, I would have fallen into the way of Chengqing, and now the Feng family is unharmed, and I have sold them a big favor, so I have to thank me for it.
Jiao Fei also breathed a sigh of relief, if there is really a problem with the slag, I don't know what bloody rain will be set off, since it is just a matter caused by Cheng Qing's personal revenge, then the matter will be much easier.
However, although the Feng family did not use the wrong medicine to prescribe the wrong prescription, but they were unlucky to bump into the old emperor and die violently, and the punishment of dismissal and release is indispensable, although Jiao Fei is also very sympathetic to them, the punishment still has to be followed, and on the grounds that the old lady Feng is not effective in treatment, he was dismissed from the post of president of the hospital, demoted to the wife and children of the common people, and the children and grandchildren are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination and enter the court as officials. And Shangguan Linfeng was only implicated in the matter of the medicine slag, and now that the medicine residue is fine, he will naturally be released.
Although the old lady Feng has reached the big mold, he really cried with excitement when he heard the verdict, the family finally saved, he now wants to leave Kyoto immediately and hide far away, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, even if he is not sentenced to this, he still does not allow his children and grandchildren to practice medicine anymore.
At this point, the dust has settled, and the Feng family has been saved, although some small flaws can still be found after careful scrutiny, but no one has enough to support it in this thankless matter.
The Feng family is fine, but Zhao Xian has a problem, his injury is not fake, what is left behind is real blood, and he fainted from exhaustion before Jiao Fei finished the case.
