Chapter Eighty-Five: Four or Two Thousand Pounds
"Xia Guan first said the results of his inspection, although half of the Chuanbei white pears in this stew pot have been drunk, a large dose of aconitum powder has been detected in the remaining soup." I calmed down my emotions, "May I ask this adult who came to report the situation, am I right?" ”
"Back to the official's house, he was right."
"That's where the suspicion lies." I said, "The bottom of the stew pot is a very poisonous grass aconite, which can be fatal in just a small amount. To put it mildly, according to the amount of aconitum detected in the stew pot, if Lord Cao was really poisoned by the aconitum in the white pear of Chuanbei, the dose he took was almost impossible to survive, and even if he could be saved, it would never be so fast. ”
Li Jian didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about my words.
"Of course, some people may think that my statement is too absolute, after all, everyone has a different constitution." I glanced at Cao Yu, who snorted coldly and turned his head.
"But there is another evidence in Xiaguan, that is, the aconitum powder in the stew pot is ground from raw aconitum that has not been concocted."
"It is precisely because aconitum is poisonous that it needs to be processed by special methods to weaken the toxicity before it can be used as medicine." I said, "The medicinal materials in the hospital are complicated, in order to avoid misuse and misuse, so the aconitum purchased from the pharmaceutical company is prepared in advance, and the medicine materials will be processed by the doctors of the hospital after they are transported into the palace, so we will never have the opportunity to get such a large dose of raw grass black medicine powder. ”
"Doctor Ren said such a conclusive word, the old minister has a question." This time it was Prime Minister Cao Ren who spoke, "Even if you can't get in touch with raw aconitum in the Tai Hospital, it's hard to guarantee that you won't get it from outside pharmacists, how do you explain this?" ”
After making the above remarks, I feel that I have reached the realm of "I am so sure that there are two reasons, first, the capital does not produce aconite, there are three major sources of medicinal materials in China, among which Huzhou is the head, all the medicinal materials in the capital, including the imperial city, are from this place, and they are highly toxic medicinal materials like aconitum that cannot be concocted out of the city gate of Huzhou, which is also one of the important economic sources for the medicine farmers, and we people are in the hospital all day long, what chance do we have to sneak away to Huzhou?" ”
"Then maybe there was a leak or smuggling?"
"In February this year, there were medicine farmers in Huzhou who negligently mixed three taels of bamboo leaves into the light bamboo leaves, and there was a life lawsuit. My eyes were cold, "So, if even our little doctors can get raw aconitum aconite, I'm afraid even Huzhou Taishou will be alarmed!" ”
Cao Ren was bored with himself, "Okay, let's talk about this article in the past, so what other reasons do you have?" ”
"The official family may not know what the lower officials and Doctor Sun did before lunch today." I said, "Before lunch, Doctor Sun and I followed Imperial Doctor Zhang to Cining Palace to ask for peace for the Queen Mother, which the Queen Mother and Princess Duan who were in the palace at that time should know. After lunch, we still need to go to the British Mansion to give birth to the third young lady, which is the second reason for the lower officials. ”
Li Jian's face was unexpectedly solemn.
Before the imperial physician and the accompanying medical officers and physicians asked for a pulse consultation for the palace concubines or dignitaries, the eunuchs and guards were to carefully check whether they were carrying anything that they should not bring. If Sun Jichen and I can easily bring the aconitum into the palace to ask for the queen mother's pulse, then there is no need for the heads of the guards and eunuchs.
All the ministers waited anxiously, Li Jian didn't speak for a long time, and finally gave a "verdict" to "Doctor Ren Dong." ”
"The lower official is here." I broke out in a cold sweat.
"Your defense is indeed reasonable, but in that case, why was Cao Kuan poisoned?"
I breathed a sigh of relief, "Xia Guan has never personally seen Lord Cao, so I don't dare to make a conclusion, but Xia Guan has something I want to confirm." ”
"What kind of food did Lord Cao eat before lunch, this is what the lower officials want to know."
"If that's the case, it's easy to do." Li Jiandao: "Qiu Zheng." ”
"The minister is here." A man about the same age as the British Duke walked in to salute, he was thin, his eyes were sharp, and there was a faint righteousness in the hall.
"Qiu Qing is the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, and I ordered your subordinates to quickly investigate this matter and report it."
"Wechen obeys." Qiu Zheng glanced at me and walked away quickly. Soon, the master of Dali Temple entered the hall and said, "The official family, Weichen took people to ask Cao Kuan's family, his entourage and the chef of the Prime Minister's Mansion, in addition to having breakfast with everyone in the family, the young lady of Cao Mansion personally made the red bean soup that Lord Cao liked for his entourage, so he used it at lunchtime. ”
"Have you ever tested it?"
"I've tested it, and there are no problems."
Li Jian's gaze fell straight down, "Doctor Ren, what else do you have to say." ”
I...... I really have something to say.
"Back to the official's house, the lower officials should understand why Lord Cao was poisoned."
"Say." The interest on Li Jian's face deepened.
"When Xia Guan was distributing Chuanbei white pears, he noticed that there was a dish of scallion fried mutton in today's lunch." I said unhurriedly, "This is not inappropriate, but Lord Cao also used red bean soup, and eating mutton with red beans can cause poisoning, and the official family can confirm with the imperial doctor who treated Lord Cao what kind of poison Lord Cao is." ”
Li Jian waved his hand, and immediately a guard went to the Tai Hospital, and after a while, the guard reported, "What the imperial doctor in charge of treating Lord Cao said is consistent with the conclusion of the doctor. ”
Several people in the hall breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Li Jian paused, his face was a little more appreciative, and he said to me, "Knowledgeable and uneventful, I didn't know that there were such young talents in the Tai Hospital. ”
In fact, there are still many mysteries in my mind.
If Cao Kuan was really poisoned by mutton and red beans, then who got the aconitum powder in the stew pot, and why did Cao Kuan, who drank Sichuan scallop stewed white pears, escape the aconitum poison?
However, judging by Li Jian's attitude, he should not want to, or he doesn't want to investigate to the end in this place in full view, so I can't say much.
I couldn't look up at the official's face, and at this time, I couldn't care about the faint pain in my right shoulder, so I bowed my head and said, "The official family has won the award, and the lower official is laughing and generous with this little fact." ”
"You're too modest, raise your head and let me see."
Not again...... I restrained the bitterness and hatred that I wanted to write on my face, and slowly raised my head.
I have to say that this royal gene is still good, at least I have seen the appearance of Prince Duan Li Su and the saint Li Jianju are very handsome, although the age should be around forty, but also vaguely see the shadow of the former noble son.
And what I care more about is that Li Jian's eyes flickered unnaturally after seeing my face clearly.
For the first time, I had deep doubts about my appearance, and it seemed that my mutilated memories still needed to be retrieved.
However, the official family is an official family after all, and he is not as out of shape as Prince Duan, but his next words are like thunder, "Look at your ability, it is Qu Cai to be a trainee healer who follows the imperial doctor." ”
"Imperial Doctor Zhang is old, and he has no need to work hard when he runs around, so in this way, you and your colleague Sun Jichen will go to the British Mansion in the afternoon to give birth to the third young lady."
I felt like I had been pushed to the forefront, "The official, the lower official is just a trainee doctor, so will it be unruly?" ”
"What's wrong with reusing talents and being eclectic?" Li Jian looked at me deeply, "I will give you an extra reward, in December, the Tai Hospital year-end assessment, I allow you to participate in the imperial doctor assessment, if you pass, you will be directly named the imperial doctor, and you don't have to go up one level at a time." ”
My stomach twitched a little, as if I could see the tragic end of Ren Dong getting farther and farther away from his embroidery career in the future......
"With such an arrangement, you will not be considered to have saved the face of the Duke of the Kingdom by going to the British Palace, I wonder if the Duke of England has any opinions?"
Gu Ye hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has appointed young and promising talents from the Tai Hospital to take care of your daughter-in-law, which is the luck of the British Princess, and everything is up to Your Majesty." ”
"Good. Later, Gu Qing asked the carriage in the mansion to take the two doctors to the mansion, and the doctors were not allowed to excuse themselves again, "Li Jian's tone was a little more majestic, "I feel that it is most appropriate to leave the body of the young lady of the Guogong Mansion to you in charge." ”
