Chapter 105: The Cao Family
Ye Qin also said truthfully, "Master Cao, we are not medical officials, just ordinary officials, and this time we came on the orders of His Majesty to come and see how the plague is going?" If it weren't for the severity of this plague, it wouldn't have alarmed Your Majesty. ”
"I don't have a doctor here for the time being, so I may not be able to help Master Cao." Ye Qin added again.
Master Cao sighed, a little disappointed, but still invited the three of them in.
This Cao Mansion is not very big, but it is full of magnificent taste, after all, the imperial businessman, how can he be called the imperial merchant without some money?
It's just that I pity this old man Cao, the capital was ostracized, and when I arrived in Fangzhou, my wife and daughter couldn't afford to get sick, and I didn't know what evil I had done.
Yue Li thought for a while and said to Master Cao, "Master, can you let me see how your wife and daughter are doing?" She thought it might be poison, no girl would suddenly go crazy and scream in the coop with the chicken, and no one could get sick and lie in bed all the time without knowing whether she was alive or dead.
Ye Qin was a little puzzled, Yue Li had always been golden, how could he see these things?
Ye Qin's suspicious eyes made Yue Li a little unhappy. "Don't underestimate me, okay? Although I usually stay in the palace, I am not idle. ”
Ye Qin pouted, not idle? I'm thinking about how to fight with myself. However, disgust is disgust, Ye Qin still wants Yue Li to try it, and the blind cat will hit the dead mouse and maybe she will be.
Master Cao sighed and led the two to a small courtyard.
The yard was remote but clean, and there was the clucking of roosters and hens, not like a yard but like a big chicken pen.
Yue Li was keenly aware that there was a trace of a rooster cry that did not belong to a chicken, and it should be the voice of the young lady of the Cao family.
Master Cao really didn't want to go in to see his daughter's appearance, which made him feel that he had achieved nothing in his life, and he couldn't even protect his daughter.
Yue Li and Ye Qin went in together, and Song Shu also followed behind them, her Miao knife was already slightly unsheathed, so she was afraid that something would suddenly come out of nowhere and hurt the two of them.
She and Yue Li looked at a group of chickens in the yard playing with Miss Cao's family, the expression on their faces remained unchanged, and they sighed.
Yue Li said and looked at the girl in front of her, "General Song, please do something." ”
"Your Highness, you say." Song Shu agreed.
"Help me knock out Miss Cao's family, her appearance is really hard to check, I'm afraid that something went wrong with her struggle."
"Okay." Song Shu stepped forward, went around to Miss Cao's back, and chopped Miss Cao faint with a knife, and then neatly carried her to the hut in the courtyard.
The hut smelled of chicken manure, and presumably these chickens were camped here.
"Get these chickens out first," Yue Li commanded Ye Qin.
Ye Qin was a little unhappy. "Why is it mine to catch chickens?"
"Then you and General Song will have a change, and you will carry people." Yue Li hugged his chest and asked rhetorically.
Ye Qin muttered and obediently went to catch the chickens, "I'd rather carry people." ”
The smell of chicken manure was so choking that he was a little suspicious of life. After a long period of work, I finally drove the chickens out of the house.
Song Shu put Miss Cao on the bed, and Yue Li began to check.
"What? Don't princesses use silver needles? "Ye Qin is just like the bar spirit today, and he looks at Yue Li unpleasantly.
Yue Li rolled her eyes, "Isn't it okay if any poison can make a silver needle black?" If that were the case, I don't know how many people would have died. ”
In fact, the previous poison made the silver needle black, because the purification inside was not enough, once the poison was purified enough, the silver needle could not be detected at all, but this kind of poison purification technology, ancient people rarely could achieve. Unless some special method is used, it is completely impossible.
Yue Li took out a delicate jade needle from the package, saying that it was a jade needle was actually an adjective, and this needle would be as crystal clear as jade, with a slight green.
"What is this?" Ye Qin leaned forward curiously.
"Don't you care where you came from?" Yue Li didn't tell Ye Qin that this was a good thing she turned out from the treasury in the palace, this needle was said by a miracle doctor before, this needle was really carved out of cold jade, as thin as a cow's hair, and it would be lost if you were not careful, but it could detect all the poisons in the world, which was much better than a silver needle.
After listening to this, Yue Li tried her best to ask Wen Xue to bring it from the warehouse, but fortunately, this miracle doctor had been dead for many years, and the doctors of the Tai Hospital looked down on such Jianghu Langzhong, so this needle had been shelved in the warehouse, and no one moved.
Now it comes in handy.
Yue Li aimed at her blood vessels and stabbed them down, if there was poison in her body, the blood must be poisonous, much better than piercing meat.
A needle goes down, and the needle slowly changes. But not the blue-purple color of the usual poison, but red.
This is strange, what kind of poison can make the jade needle turn red, the color is like blood, and the bright eyes of a few people are slightly painful, and there is even an illusion that blood will drip from the tip of the needle immediately.
"You go find the old ghost." Yue Li said to Ye Qin. "The old ghost may have a way."
"But didn't the old ghost find out before?"
"The old ghost couldn't find out before because he didn't know if this person was poisoned or what, now it's okay, let him see what the poison on this needle is?"
"Okay." Ye Qin turned around and went out, and instructed Master Cao, who was at the gate of the courtyard, to invite the old ghost of the medicine hall over.
As soon as Master Cao heard that there was a drama in this matter, he was busy inviting the old ghost.
"You say this is really strange, when the needle was pulled out just now, a drop of blood brought out was milky white, but the tip of the needle was blood red, what kind of poison is this?" Yue Li was curious.
"I'm afraid this isn't some kind of cruel poison researched by the Demon Sect." Song Shu also speculated.
"What the hell is this Demon Cult?" Yue Li is a little curious about the Demon Sect after experiencing some things these days, and the sect that can study the poison of Finger Twisting Rou is definitely not a vegetarian.
"I won't tell you Your Highness, this Demon Sect is actually not called a Demon Sect," Ye Qin thought about it, how to say that this answer was more pertinent. "In fact, in people's hearts, there has always been no correct definition between cults and righteous paths. This demon cult was originally famous for its poisons, and the poisons they developed were extremely ruthless, making everyone in the rivers and lakes fearful. ”
"There is no antidote to the poison of ordinary demon sects." Song Shu also interjected.
"Is there no cure?"
"Yes, it's like a finger wrapper, if you drink it, you won't die immediately, but you will fall asleep. The person you love the most can only watch you become a medicine man little by little, and killing people is nothing more than that. ”
There was something about this demon sect, Yue Li touched the fake beard on his chin.
