Chapter 70: Night Trial of the Second Zhuang Ding
The housekeeper Tang Lu had been staring at the subordinate kneeling in front of him all the time, and he didn't notice Di Renjie coming, and when he heard the voice, he hurriedly looked up!
"Yo! Mr. Huai, you have come just in time! Zhuang Ding, who was patrolling the night, caught this subordinate named He San, and he was about to jump over the wall to escape! Butler Tang Lu said!
"Hmmm! Your name is Ho San? Di Renjie asked!
"Yes!" He San said tremblingly!
"You just said that you want to get medicine for your mother, where is the prescription?" Di Renjie asked!
"There's a prescription, there's a prescription, here!" He San took out two pieces of paper from his arms, opened them and looked at them, picked out one and handed it over!
Di Renjie took the prescription and read it according to the prescription: "Ginseng is two dollars and four cents, mountain corn meat is two dollars and four cents, melon is two dollars and four points, cooked attached pieces are one money and two points, shallots are one and two cents, safflower is one and two cents, Mai Dong is three dollars and six points, Angelica sinensis is three dollars and six points, Banxia is one money and eight points, Coptis chinensis is six points, and Shengchuan Army is one money and eight points." ”
After reading, Di Renjie looked up at his subordinate He San, and asked, "He San, what kind of disease did you say your mother had?" ”
He San hurriedly said: "A few days ago, my mother suddenly fainted, and asked Lang Zhong to come and see, Lang Zhong said that my mother is a deficiency of qi and yin, lack of heart and yang, blood stasis and phlegm stagnation, anyway, I don't understand what it means, so Lang Zhong prescribed this prescription and told me to catch the medicine according to the prescription!" I've already eaten two of them, and if I don't grab the medicine today, my mother will have to stop the medicine tomorrow! ”
Di Renjie nodded slightly, and whispered to the housekeeper Tang Lu: "Look at this prescription, it is indeed the symptom of the lesion he said, it seems that he is not lying!" ”
"Oh? Since Mr. Huai has tested it, there is naturally no problem, maybe we have wronged him! Butler Tang Lu pointed at He San and said!
"Steward Tang, don't rush to conclusions, I have to ask him again, He Sanna, if according to what you said, you left in a hurry at night to grab medicine for your mother, then you can tell Steward Tang, or even Master Tang, bluntly, go out openly, why do you want to jump over the wall in the middle of the night and escape?" Di Renjie walked up to He San and asked!
"This, this ......" He San is a little fragmented, spitting and spitting!
"Huh? Is this question hard to answer? Di Renjie's eyes widened, and he asked sharply!
"This, this ......" He San is still holding on, not knowing what to do!
"Don't do this or that, answer Mr. Huai's question honestly!" The housekeeper Tang Lu shouted!
He San was so frightened that he trembled, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes!" Mr. Huihuai, here's the thing, originally I learned that after the villa was closed, I wanted to ask the Tang housekeeper for leave, but Zhao Liu stopped me halfway and asked me what I was doing, I said to ask the housekeeper for leave to go home to grab medicine for my mother, Zhao Liu said, I will definitely be suspected of taking leave at this time, if I can't catch the murderer in three days, I will definitely put the blame on me, and then arrest me to see the official, I was scared for a while, so I didn't ask for leave, Zhao Liu took me back to the backyard! ”
"Zhao Liu? What is this Zhao Liu? Di Renjie turned his head and asked the housekeeper Tang Lu!
"Ah, Zhao Liu is a miscellaneous servant in a firewood house in the village, and he is usually responsible for chopping firewood and making a fire!" Butler Tang Lu said!
Di Renjie nodded, and asked He San again: "Then why do you still want to jump over the wall late at night?" ”
"I really can't rest assured that my mother can't eat dinner, and then Zhao Liu gave me an idea, saying that I should sneak out at night when no one is around, and then sneak back when I catch the medicine, and then Zhao Liu will pick me up in the village!" He San said!
"Oh? This Zhao Liu is really righteous? Do you usually have a good relationship? He's so dedicated to helping you? Di Renjie asked again!
"Relationship? You alright! It's not good, it's good that he doesn't usually drink, but if he drinks, it's like a different person, and his temper is very short-tempered! He San said!
"Mr. Huai is asking you why he wants to help you?" Butler Tang Lu glared at He San and said!
"Well, that's right, he knew that I was going to grab the medicine, and said that I would help him bring a few flavors of medicine back, and gave me the silver, even my mother's!" He San said!
"Oh? Then the other one in your hand should be this Zhao Liu's prescription for catching medicine, right? ”
He San nodded and said, "Yes!" Please take a look, sir! ”
Di Renjie stretched out his hand and took another prescription handed over by He San, opened it and looked at it, Di Renjie frowned slightly, judging from the writing of this medicine, it is very different from the prescription just now, there are only a few names on the paper, but the dosage is not marked!
Di Renjie read according to the name of the medicine written on the paper: "Honeysuckle, forsythia, houttuynia cordata, verbena, cinnabar!" ”
After reading the name of the medicine, Di Renjie smiled slightly and said, "Steward Tang, it seems that the real murderer is about to appear, bring this Zhao Liu!" ”
The housekeeper Tang Lu was skeptical, but he still ordered someone to find Zhao Liu!
Soon, Zhao Liu was taken to the front hall by several Zhuang Ding, and Zhao Liu looked a little nervous when he saw He San kneeling on the ground!
However, Zhao Liu quickly regained his composure, and said to the housekeeper Tang Lushi: "Butler Tang, call the little one to come late at night, what is the so-called matter?" ”
The housekeeper Tang Lu glanced at him and said sharply: "Bold Zhao Liu, you still haven't recruited from the truth!" ”
"Steward Tang, what do you want the villain to recruit?" Zhao Liu pretended to be aggrieved and asked!
"Are you Zhao Liu?" Di Renjie asked!
"Exactly!" Zhao Liu looked at Di Renjie and replied!
"Did you give He San the idea to let him sneak out of the village in the middle of the night?" Di Renjie asked with a sinking face!
"Yes! But I saw that he was eager to grasp medicine for his mother, so I gave him this idea! If you want to be punished, please spare He San from the housekeeper, and punish me! Zhao Liu's neck straightened, and he said without fear!
"Hahaha! I didn't expect you to be really righteous? Di Renjie laughed!
"One person does things and one person is responsible, the idea is mine, I admit punishment!" Zhao Liu still stiffened his neck and said!
"Good! Very good! Then let me ask you, why did you ask He San to help you catch the medicine? Is there anything sick in your family too? Di Renjie asked!
"Yes! How? Is it normal to grab medicine when you are sick? Zhao Liu asked rhetorically!
"Nonsense, others don't know, I don't know yet, you Zhao Liu's whole family is you, where did you come from?" Butler Tang Lu said angrily!
"I caught it myself!" Zhao Liu argued!
"Oh? Caught for yourself? So tell me what disease you have? Oh, by the way, you may not know, the old man is not talented, it is a square man, if you don't know what disease you have, the old man doesn't mind treating you! Di Renjie stroked his beard and sneered!
"I, I have a headache!" Zhao Liu said with some resentment!
"Oh! Headache? I see that these few medicines on your prescription don't cure headaches? Di Renjie asked rhetorically!
"I'm not Lang Zhong, and I don't know how to medicine, but I've seen Lang Zhong prescribe such medicine before, so I asked He San to bring me some back by the way!" Zhao Liu said!
Di Renjie laughed and said, "Hahaha! Don't understand? If you really don't understand, why are all the antidotes prescribed? And there is cinnabar, this cinnabar is a fierce medicine for detoxifying corpses! ”
