Chapter 84: I Can Prove
In the main hall, after the guards said the word "poisoned", the atmosphere also dropped to freezing point.
The official family seems to be quite annoyed by the matter of "poisoning", which can be seen from his more upright figure - after all, "Langxia Food" is nominally the food of the Son of Heaven, and someone dares to blatantly poison the court officials in the meal, which is obviously not taking him seriously.
And the faces of the civil servants and generals in the hall were even more ugly, after all, everyone ate this lunch.
"Have all the meals and utensils of all the people today been tested?" I was faintly aware that the official was gritting his back molars when he said this.
"I went back to the official's house, and I checked it."
"The result?"
"The rest of the people's utensils and meals are all normal, only the powder of aconitum was detected from the stew pot of Lord Cao Kuan Cao."
Sun Zhongjing's and I faces turned dead white in an instant.
I now regret very much that I have never looked at the yellow calendar when I go out, and today, it is really not suitable to enter the palace.
Ren Dong's task today is to sort and process medicinal materials, and I have taken his place as well as his job, and Sun Jichen has also participated in copying the medical classics.
And the medicinal herbs that the two of us processed not long ago happened to be Aconitum officinalis, and what we did was to grind Aconitum into powder!
"Since it is aconitum poisoning, it is naturally inseparable from the hospital." The official said coldly: "Can I find out who has been in contact with Aconitum recently?" ”
"Yesterday, a new batch of medicinal materials was purchased in the Tai Hospital, including Aconite, two medical officers who were responsible for purchasing medicinal materials, and three men who carried medicinal materials have all been arrested, and the people from Dali Temple have also gone to the pharmacy to inquire about the situation." The guard replied.
"And today some of the aconitum has been handed over to the doctors of Tai Hospital for sorting and processing, and there are four doctors who have come into contact with this medicinal material, two of whom have been controlled, but there are two trainee doctors Ren Dong and Sun Jichen, and they are missing."
The official's face became more and more cold, "It seems that these two people are very suspicious...... By the way, the two healers kneeling below, what are your names? ”
At this time, I always feel that no matter what I say, I am aggravating my suspicion, but I am not a person who is good at deceiving my superiors and subordinates, not to mention that if I want to deny it at this time, it will only become more and more black, and it is not as good as telling the truth.
"Xiaguan...... Ren Dong. ”
"The next official is Sun Jichen."
Official "......"
At this time, a figure in the official suddenly rushed straight towards Sun Jichen, Sun Jichen was frightened in place, I secretly screamed that it was not good, and hurriedly rushed to him to block it - and then, I was firmly kicked on the right shoulder.
It's my right shoulder again, my right shoulder that was almost pierced by an arrow outside the big victory pass.
The pain in my heart is that people can't scream, and my tears of pain are about to come out, and I just want to shrink up on the ground and curl up in a ball. However, the ghost knows whether he will be punished for such a thing as a loss of honor in front of the emperor, so he can only hold back desperately, and he has accumulated 10,000 swear words in his heart and wants to spew out.
"Cheap billet, how many of you dare to hurt my eldest brother!" The man who kicked me was a man with a bad body, looking around thirty years old, with a strong physique, and he should have some martial arts.
Seeing that he was about to hit someone again, and we couldn't hide or stop, I was quite devastated, looking at him like a broken jar, and I didn't even bother to care about my right shoulder.
However, the expected pain did not come, and at the same time as he stretched out his hand, Chen Yi stepped to the man's side and restrained him, "General Cao Yu, calm down, the matter has not been investigated clearly!" ”
The man named Cao Yu saw Chen Yi make a move, and he was even more angry, "General Gu Bai, it's not your brother who was poisoned!" ”
"As General Cao said, how could two little healers have the audacity to poison the imperial court officials? Even if they did it, if General Cao was angry and beat people to death, how could he find out who was behind them? Chen Yi said with a serious expression.
"General Gu is scolding me for being impulsive and brainless!"
"It's just a matter of facts, why should General Cao be careless?"
"On the Jinluan Palace, you must not be presumptuous!" Seeing that the two of them were tense, the official family spoke out to stop it.
"Gu Bai, you really have no rules for acting like this, why don't you go back and stand up quickly!" The first to speak out was the indignant British public Gu Ye, after reprimanding Chen Yi, he hurriedly surrendered his hand and said, "The official family is young and rude, but now Cao Kuan's poisoning is a big thing, and the official family is also asked to punish after finding out the real culprit!" ”
An old man with gray hair and white beard led by the civil official team on the left also came out and said to Cao Yu, "Cao Yu, don't go back yet!" As he spoke, he turned to the official family and said with a smile on his face, "The child is not sensible, he has caused trouble to the official family, and he has also provoked the anger of the British public, and the old minister is really frightened, and he will definitely discipline him well." ”
The tone of the official Li Jian was very kind, "The British Duke and Cao Xiang are both the ministers of my humerus in China, Cao Yu protects his brother, Gu Bai understands the righteousness, and I have no intention of blaming." ”
I have heard of the disagreement between the British public and Prime Minister Cao Ren and the personal vendetta, although Li Jian's scene is beautiful, but the style of this prime minister who wears a high hat for people without saying a word I can be regarded as having a personal experience.
"Ren Dong, Sun Jichen." Li Jian looked at the two of us who were kicked by Cao Yu, and "got up and replied." ”
"Xie Guan's family." We hurriedly kneeled back to our positions and knelt down.
"According to the results of the current investigation, the two of you are very suspicious." Li Jiandao: "If the poisoning is really your doing, I advise you to admit it as soon as possible, and it will also avoid the pain of flesh and flesh and involve others." ”
Sun Jichen knelt on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably, and I quickly thought about countermeasures.
"Official," I finally mustered up the courage to say, "Dare to ask Lord Cao what kind of poison is there?" What kind of aconitum powder is in the soup cup?"
"What do you mean?"
"I wonder if I can allow the lower officials to check the stew pot with aconitum poison again?"
"Don't listen to his quibbles, he must want to destroy the evidence!" Cao Yu shouted again.
"If General Cao can't trust the lower officials, when the lower officials inspect it, you can watch from the sidelines, and if you find out what the lower officials are going to do, you can kill the lower officials with one sword!" My anger also came up a little, and I said resolutely.
"Now that you've said that, I should give you a chance." A trace of surprise flashed in Li Jian's eyes, and then he said to the eunuch standing beside him, "Fuquan, order someone to bring the stew pot for him to check on the spot." ”
"Yes." The eunuch left in response, and in a short time brought back all the stew cups and a set of tools for testing poison.
The last time the drug test was in Gu Jiajun's military tent, and this test still saved the lives of many soldiers; And this time, it's for myself and the Sun family's life.
Thankfully, the results of the test did not surprise me.
With the eyes of the guy named Cao Yu next to me who wanted to eat people, I put the tool back in its original position, glanced at Sun Jichen, and bowed to Li Jian, "Official, the lower official can prove the innocence of himself and my colleagues in the hospital." ”
Li Jian's face was a little more playful: "Just because you just re-checked the stew pot?" ”
"Yes."
"Then tell me, how to prove it?"
