Zuo Shaoyang introduced the child's condition, and then said: "Two medical officers, you are experts, if it is you, how many attachments do you dare to use to treat this child?" ”

Dr. Tang and Medical Officer An both stepped forward to investigate, and after they were done, Dr. Tang said: "If the child's disease is under the official, at most one or two attached tablets should be used. The medical officer said hehehe: "Humble and timid, at most dare to use five or six yuan." ”

One or two is fifty grams. An aconite generally has 15 grams, and Dr. Tang uses 50 grams, that is, about three, which is a large dose.

Qian Xianling twisted his goatee and asked Zuo Shaoyang: "Xiao Langzhong, what about you?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled slightly: "The child's illness is that the child is prostration under the Shaoyin syndrome, and the yin qi is pervasive, and his father mistakenly used bitter cold antipyretic medicine, which makes it worse, so that the qi and blood around the body tend to condense. It is necessary to use a large dose of attached tablets to return to the yang and return to the roots, and chase away the yin and cold, so I used two or four dollars for the first dose of medicine! ”

Dr. Tang sneered: "You have to have a score if you lie, two or four dollars, that's the dose of eight aconite!" It has exceeded the maximum dose of medical books by three. Who in the history of medicine has ever used such a high dose? ”

Zuo Shaoyang didn't say anything, stepped into the kitchen, and after a while, he took out a sand pot for decoction, walked in front of Dr. Tang, and put the sand pot on the ground in front of him: "Master, this is the residue left over from the decoction I gave to this kid before, and it hasn't been poured out yet, you can check it yourself." ”

Dr. Tang glanced at him, squatted down, looked at it first, then reached in and rummaged, and picked up all the appendages, and sure enough, there were a small pile, more than two taels.

Medical Officer An sneered on the side: "Didn't you think that we were going to come to check and put the attached tablets in the medicine residue in advance to coax us?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang also smiled coldly: "I guessed that you would be so suspicious, it doesn't matter, anyway, now I need to give the child medicine, and I have to change the medicine to adjust the prescription." When you watch me pick up the medicine and give it to the child, you will know if I have deceived me. ”

Dr. Tang and the others had a look of surprise on their faces, and Dr. Tang said in a deep voice: "This time, it will still use two or four dollars?" ”

"No, with a pound!"

"What did you say?" Qian Xianling didn't know how to do it, but Dr. Tang and Medical Officer An had round eyes, and they almost fell out of their sockets.

Medical Officer An said sharply: "A pound of attached tablets? Are you kidding! That's thirty-three aconite! More than six times more than the maximum dose in medical books. You want to murder? ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled faintly: "Whether it's murder or cure, you'll know later." He turned around and walked to the medicine cabinet, opened the medicine pump, and did not pick up the medicine, but directly brought the medicine over and put it in front of Qian County Ling, Dr. Tang and Medical Officer An: "The left box in the medicine pump is the attached piece concocted by my Guizhitang new method." Please check if it is an attached piece. ”

Dr. Tang and Medical Officer An squatted down, looked through it carefully, took a bite to their mouths, glanced at each other, and nodded slowly. Dr. Tang said, "That's right, it's an appendage. ”

"If I use so many aconites to dispense medicine and give it to this child, and the child is not poisoned, but his condition is further improved, can I prove that the aconitum or aconite concocted by my Guizhitang new method will not be poisoned even if it is overdosed to eight?"

Dr. Tang said coldly: "That's natural, Aconitum and Aconite are born from the same root, one plant and two medicines, although Aconitum is slightly larger than Aconite, but your dosage reaches thirty-three, such a heavy dose, the slight difference between the two is nothing." If this is the case, it can be fully explained that the eight pieces of aconitum concocted by Guitang's new method will not cause poisoning to the patient. However, such a heavy dose with tablets to cure the disease will definitely kill people! Human life is at stake, not child's play! ”

"Dr. Tang, I used two or four yuan of attached tablets for this child before, and this dose is far more than the dose prescribed in the medical book, and the child is going to die early. Now you see, isn't this child still alive and well? ”

Dr. Tang glanced at the child, stroked his white beard and turned his head to look at Qian County: "What do you think, adults?" ”

Qian Xianling smiled and said: "Master Tang, this official thinks that Xiao Langzhong is not lying, let me ask, why does he need to lie?" This case has nothing to do with him, if using a pound of appendages will endanger the child's life, why would he take the risk? Now that he dares to do this, it shows that he is confident. I can believe it. ”

Medical Officer An interjected: "My lord, the reason why this little man is willing to take risks is not that he is completely aimless, he set up this trap to attract the county magistrate to his Guizhitang, the purpose is obvious, but he just wants to use the prestige of the adult's official authority to increase his reputation in Guizhitang!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang secretly admired in his stomach, this medical officer An is not a fool. The reason why he went to such great lengths, of course, was not all to help Ni Er testify, and by the way, the main purpose was to take this opportunity to increase the popularity of Guizhitang. But of course, this kind of thing can't be admitted, and he said lightly at the moment: "I'm just doing this to help the county magistrate find out the facts of the case, if the three lords think that I have ulterior motives, then this matter will be over." Anyway, my testimony is over, what should be said has already been said, and it is up to the adults to decide whether to accept it or not. ”

Zuo Shaoyang's move to retreat is very effective, Qian County Ling really glared at Medical Officer An fiercely, and smiled at Zuo Shaoyang: "Xiaolang is too careful, this official knows that you are trying to help this official find out the case, and he has no other intentions." Okay, Xiao Langzhong, you can just do what you think. ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "Okay." I'm starting to decoct the medicine now, in order to prevent someone saying that I'm cheating, I'm decocting the medicine in this hall, and there is still a slight fire in this brazier, which was left by Dr. Ni and they sent the child over to let us heal last night, because the curfew can't go, so they stayed here and left it by the fire overnight. Now it's just right to decoction. However, this attachment must be fried for almost an hour, and instead of frying in water, it is fried in chicken broth. I still have half a pot of chicken soup that I bought from the restaurant in front of me last night. It can be used to boil medicine. ”

Zuo Shaoyang took out the chicken soup from the kitchen, and brought a large casserole the size of a basin for the two of them to inspect, and then poured all the chicken soup into the casserole. Then he took a pole from the counter to weigh the medicine, squatted on the ground, and began to weigh the attached tablets.

Zuo Gui has been silently watching from the side, he is not worried about his son using such a heavy dose of aconite, so far, it is useless to worry, before his son used the two two or four money attached tablets decoction to the sick child, he was present at the time, but he didn't know, now he knows, secretly a little afraid, however, after the sick child took the medicine, not only was he not poisoned, but he woke up, and he could speak and recognize people, which made him firmly believe that his son's prescription should be effective, although now he used a pound of super heavy medicine, but he was still full of confidence, Because two, two, four dollars and one catty have far exceeded the normal amount, it is just fifty steps and a hundred steps.

Seeing his son squatting there to weigh the medicine, Zuo Gui hurriedly brought a chair and stool over for the county master and the doctor to sit on.

There are only two chairs at home, the one Zuo Gui sits on for medical treatment is okay, and the other one has been loosened, and it creaks and creaks when he sits on it, as if he is about to fall apart at any time, so he brought his own chair to the county magistrate to sit on, and gave the crunching chair to Dr. Tang to sit on. He took a round stool for Medical Officer An, and took two low benches from the kitchen, one for Zuo Shaoyang, and one in the corner of the wall, and sat and watched from afar with his robe.

Qian County's order, Dr. Tang, and Medical Officer An watched from the side, and saw that Zuo Shaoyang kept weighing down, and then said that the attached tablets in the medicine basket on the stage began to pile up like a small mountain. Weigh a full pound, and then carefully pour the appendages into the chicken soup casserole.

Then, Zuo Shaoyang brought some dry firewood and added it to the brazier in the lobby, and soon the flames rose. He also brought an iron stand for boiling water and rice, and put it on the brazier, and put the large casserole on it. Start decoction.

This medicine has to be fried for almost an hour, which is still a bit long, and Qian Xianling and the others are not easy to walk away, for fear that the medicine will be dropped. Can only wait here. Fortunately, this Qian County Commander is very talkative, and it is rare to have this moment of leisure, so he called Zuo Gui over to ask him about his family history.

Zuo Guiyin said a little proudly that his grandfather used to be an eight-rank official, and he also talked about his experience as a doctor. Qian Xianling listened to it with great interest, kept asking this and that, and asked Zuo Shaoyang whether he was married, whether he trusted the media, and so on. Dr. Tang and Medical Officer An began to be silent, and they were full of interest when they listened to the county order, so they also asked some questions and talked about their own medical practice.

The people in the door chatted, and the people outside the door didn't know, but they were waiting very anxiously, especially Dr. Ni, who had the heart to come forward to peep, but a few catchers were already standing at the door to guard the door, and no one was allowed to approach, and if they couldn't get close, they couldn't see it, and they were so anxious that they were like ants on a hot pot.

Ni Mu and the others in the sedan chair were also anxious, and from time to time secretly lifted a small corner of the sedan curtain, and peeked at the closed door of Guizhi Hall, but they couldn't see anything famous. The people of the Sui family were also very anxious, and they talked in a low voice from time to time, but they didn't have any other ideas.

The onlookers waited for a long time, and they didn't see the county master and them come out, some people thought it was boring, so they left, but most people still wanted to see what was going on, and surrounded them on both sides of the street in Guizhitang, tiptoeing, looking up with their heads up. The rest of the city got the news, and the curious came to see the excitement, so there were more people than before.

Finally, after half an hour, Zuo Shaoyang got up and went to the medicine cabinet to start sorting out the medicinal materials. Dr. Tang didn't know what he was going to do, and they didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to chat with Zuo Gui.

Zuo Shaoyang kept taking the medicine behind his back and putting it out, and in the process of releasing the medicine, he secretly took the medicine needed for the prescription and put it aside.

After tidying up a meal and seeing that the time had come, he took the bag of medicine and was about to put it in the medicine jar, Dr. Tang said, "Xiao Langzhong, what medicine did you put in, can you take a look?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, this is a secret of the contempt hall, and it can't be passed on." ”

"Then how do I know if there's a problem with this medicine you put in?"

"What you want to see now is not whether there is a problem with my prescription itself, but whether the aconite in the prescription will poison people. It doesn't matter what medicine I add, because no matter what medicine I add, it's impossible to make a pound of aconite non-toxic, right? ”

Dr. Tang nodded slowly: "That's right, I'm afraid there is no medicine in the world that can reconcile the poison of a pound of aconite." You add it. ”

Zuo Shaoyang poured the medicine into the medicine jar and continued to boil.
