Chapter 440: Poisoning has become fashionable
Listening to what this imperial doctor said, it was almost equivalent to confirming that the prince Qin Zheng's illness was poisoning, and it was a rare poison, Qin Dong's face became extremely ugly, this matter was obvious, someone deliberately poisoned the prince Qin Zheng, otherwise, Qin Zheng would not have been hit by this extremely rare poison, who did this matter? What was the motive for poisoning?
Qin Dong also knew that in the era of the Roman Empire, poisoning and assassination was already an extremely common assassination method, especially popular among the upper class nobles and courts, intended to deal with political opponents or business opponents, and more widely popular among all social strata.
The person who poisoned him this time was dealing with his son Qin Zheng, what if he wanted to deal with him? You must know that in this era, because of the need for assassination methods, the research of poisons has been very advanced, and alchemists have even discovered that some poisons have colorless and odorless properties when used in alcohol. Thinking of this, Qin Dong couldn't help but shudder, and his heart was ruthless, he must find out this poisoned person hiding in the palace, otherwise he will have trouble in the bedroom.
"Someone!"
Hadlin, the chief chamberlain, came in from outside the dormitory and saluted, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”
"Liu San, the minister of the guard, and Qi Muge, the chief of the palace guard, came to see me quickly!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Qin Dong turned to the imperial doctor who spoke just now and said, "What kind of bird's feather poison did you just say in the prince's sign?" Can you be sure? ”
The imperial doctor said: "Your Majesty, judging from the current symptoms of the prince's sign." The symptoms are exactly the same as those of the feathers of the unknown bird, but there is more than one poison with such symptoms, so I can't be sure. And there is no way to confirm whether it is this poison, the minister is ashamed! ”
Qin Dong looked at Charlie Cao: "Old Cao, what do you have to build?" ”
Charlie Cao said: "Your Majesty, now I can only try them one by one, find all the antidotes to the poisons that have this symptom, and then use them on the body of the prince one by one, for the sake of the future." There is only one way for this dead horse to be a live horse doctor, looking at the situation of His Royal Highness, it seems that the time of poisoning is not short. It may be as long as a few days, or it may be as long as dozens of days, and you must do your best to detoxify, and it will be too late if it is too late! ”
Qin Dong nodded when he heard this. Pointing at the imperial doctor, he said, "Since you know that poison." You should also know how to configure its antidote, right? Immediately dispense the antidote to the prince to detoxify, and the others immediately dispense the antidote to the poison that can cause the same symptoms! If anything goes wrong with the prince, I'll kill you all!" ”
The imperial doctors trembled and saluted in fear: "Obey! ”
There were all kinds of medicines in the palace, and the imperial doctors quickly prepared several antidotes, and the first thing to use for the prince was to be able to remove the poison of the feathers of an unknown bird, and the imperial doctor carefully gave the antidote to the prince to conquer, and it took about a quarter of an hour to complete. He got up and saluted Qin Dong and said, "Your Majesty, you have already given the prince the antidote to the poison of the bird's feathers. Medicine. It's going to take half an hour to know the results! ”
Qin Dong nodded, then beckoned to the imperial doctor again, and when the imperial doctor came over, he asked, "Isn't there a name for the feather poison of that unknown bird?" ”
The imperial doctor shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, it is precisely because you know how to use that poison. There are very few people who use the medicine, so it is not famous, so it has no name, and the people who use it are generally Gepid women among the Germanic people, and the minister also knew about this poison by chance, but the minister didn't understand, if someone really used this poison on His Royal Highness the prince. Medicine, so what is her purpose? Be aware that this poison is chronic. Medicine, depending on the amount of poison used, the shortest time to attack is three days, and the longest is more than a month before it can attack. medicine, there is no need to use this poison that takes a long time to flare up. Medicine! ”
Qin Dong thought for a while and snorted coldly: "You also said just now, there are few people who use this poison, so it is not famous, and there are very few people who know its existence, so it can be explained. It is easy to find out that the drug poison kills the prince, after all, it is something that happened in a short period of time, everyone in the palace has their own things to do, and a check can find out what someone is doing in a certain period of time, in order not to be found out, it is necessary to prolong the poison. The onset time of the drug is only the use of chronic poisons. medicine can do this, plus few people know about this poison, and those who poison it will use it with confidence. Medicine! Do people unknowingly poison the prince without knowing it, but they will not be found out."
Soon, Liu San and Qi Muge arrived one after another, and on the way here, they also heard about the fact that Huang Zizheng was unconscious, but neither of them understood how to help in this matter? Why did the Emperor bring them in?
"See Your Majesty!"
"Excuse me!" Qin Dong raised his hand and said, "Old Cao, you tell the two of them about the situation!" ”
"Yes!" Charlie Cao agreed and introduced the situation to Liu San and Qi Muge, which was very specific, and it took Charlie Cao a few minutes to complete the introduction.
After hearing this, Liu San said angrily: "This person is really bold, he dares to murder the prince by poisoning the palace in the palace, Your Majesty, no matter who this person is, after finding out, he must be severely punished!" ”
Qin Zheng is Qin Dong's first biological son, in Liu San's opinion, Qin Zheng is his eldest young master, Qin Zheng will definitely inherit the throne as the crown prince in the future, and now someone has poisoned and murdered, is this okay? Therefore, his love was very excited.
Qi Muge knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, there is such a thing in the palace, it is a dereliction of duty of the minister, and the minister asks His Majesty to punish him!" ”
Qin Dong waved his hand and said: "It is basically impossible for outsiders to enter the palace to poison the prince, so this matter must be done by the people in the palace, day and night, it is difficult to prevent thieves, this matter is no wonder to you, you get up!" I have brought you here. It's for you to investigate this thoroughly, no matter who is involved, do you have anything else to say? ”
Qi Muge said: "Your Majesty." Speaking of using poison, defending poison and detoxifying, there is one person who is extremely good at it, and he thinks that if this person assists, he can help us solve a lot of troubles, so he wants to transfer this person to help! , Please also ask for your Majesty's permission! ”
"Well, that's right, who is this person. Where is it now? Qin Dong thought about it and agreed to Qi Muge's request.
"This person's name is Bocia Nido, one of the Bocia family of the Roman poison family, and he is now in Saidica!"
Qin Dong had also heard of the Bocian family in Rome. This family has used poison for generations, and everyone will use poison, just like the Tang Sect in martial arts novels, and its Mu Ge can include this person under his command, which shows that his Mu Ge still used a lot of thought. He immediately said, "Hadlin." Summons Bochia to the palace to see me immediately! ”
"Yes!"
At this time, there was finally a new development on the side of the prince, and the imperial doctor came to report: "Your Majesty, the symptoms of the prince's sign are reducing, it seems that he has indeed been poisoned by the feathers of that bird!" ”
Qin Dong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, since the situation of the prince's expedition has improved, then you will continue to be responsible for this matter, and you must ensure that there are no mistakes until the prince's expedition recovers." Then I will reward you well! ”
The imperial doctor said again and again: "It is the responsibility of our doctors to serve His Majesty, and the ministers will definitely do their best." Live up to your high expectations! ”
It wasn't long before the man recommended by his Muge, named Bogianido, was brought by the eunuch, a Roman man who was very tall, had a very thin face, and his face was abnormal, at least not from the healthy complexion of a normal person, which was also a result of his long experience with beatings.
"The villain Bocia Nido see the supreme emperor and empress, Your Majesty, my lords!" Bogiani bowed respectfully to Qin Dong and the others.
Qin Dong nodded and raised his hand and said, "Get up, Bogia Nido, the head of the Muge guard introduced that you were born in the Bocia family in Rome, and I have heard that everyone in the Bocia family in Rome is a master of using poison and has an extremely deep research on poison, is that so?" ”
Bogia Ni saw that many emperors had heard of the Bocian family, and a sense of pride arose, and he said: "Your Majesty, Supreme Emperor, you are really knowledgeable. When it comes to the use of poison, although our Bocia family is not the most powerful, in terms of research on poisons, our Bocia family is undoubtedly at the forefront of this industry."
Qin Dongdao: "Can you introduce the situation of this industry and the knowledge of poisons?" It also gives us those of us who don't know anything about poison a little more knowledge! ”
Many people are good teachers, and this Bogianido seems to be no exception, he saw that the emperor was so interested in this line and poison, and he also had some tricky meaning at the moment, and introduced: "Respect the emperor and empress, my lords, in Rome for seven hundred years, there are records of poisoning and killing people in food and wine (in fact, before that, Indians, Chinese, Greeks, and Egyptians had already begun to use poison). Cleopatra used slaves to use the Celestial Fairies, Belladonna and Asapu Snake Venom. Nowadays, poisons are generally used in alcohol, mainly because of poisoning. Drugs are easy to dissolve, colorless and odorless, but they are all fatal. In the writings of the ancient Egyptian alchemist Egshadimon, it is mentioned that mixing an unknown mineral (realgar or orpiment) with bubble alkali produces a "strong poison" (actually arsenic) that disappears into water and has a clear solution. This poison. The drug is by far the most toxic and least detectable poison. medicine, but very few people know the ratio.
Poison can be divided into acute poison and chronic poison according to the time of onset, immediately after taking it or within a few days of acute poison, only a few days later, and the symptoms are not very obvious is chronic poison, according to the degree of obviousness can be divided into overt poison and recessive poison, dominant poison is easy to be detected, and invisible poison is often easy to be ignored, such as flowers placed indoors, according to the color to distinguish, and can be divided into colored flavored poison and colorless odorless poison, generally speaking, most of the plant extract poison has color, And most of the poisons extracted from animals are colorless and odorless, such as snake venom.
After a long period of research, we have found that the toxicity of multiple mixed poisons is much stronger than that of a single poison, so most poison masters now generally use multiple mixed poisons.
Nowadays, among the drug masters in the Western world, Antonicle of Rome is the most proficient in poisoning, and he can control poison freely. The time of the onset of the drug and the death of the poisoned person, this person often sees the head but does not see the end; In the royal palace of Rome, there is also a very skilled master of poison, this person is named La Fangchi, she is a court perfumer, often poisoned and killed people invisibly, many court nobles died at her hands, and an alchemist, named Maridettia, this person often used the poison he studied. Poisoning others to get family property, and she also walked in various hospitals in Italy as a doctor to test drugs with patients! (To be continued......)
