I'm also anxious that the plot of this trial hasn't been written, and I'm trying to speed up the progress, but I can't convince myself if the details are not written clearly, and if you want to see the results directly, you can save another chapter, and read it tomorrow night.

***

Doctor Cao listened to Gu Yanzhang's words, stepped aside and asked someone to prepare relevant things.

Gu Yanzhang said to another person: "In the past, your father diagnosed Xu Sanniang's illness?" ”

The man hurriedly said, "Exactly." ”

He came in a hurry, only knowing that something had happened to Xu Sanniang, and an autopsy was being performed here, but he didn't know what was going on, and while answering, he looked at the coffin on the side with anxiety.

Gu Yanzhang asked again: "Did your father ever tell you about Xu Sanniang's symptoms?" Who walked with him that day? ”

The man said: "Don't dare to deceive the officials, I did say, Xu Sanniang died of a sudden illness, my father failed to save people, every time I talk about it, there are regrets, occasionally talk to people about the scene of the day, and also said that the symptoms as a professor, as far as my Xiaomin knows, my father went to the place at that time, because the patient was in a hurry, and the condition was also very serious, he couldn't wait any longer, so he had to apply the needle first, but a set of acupuncture methods had not been completed, and the big hole was pierced, and the person was already out of breath......

He also said, "I had a senior brother walking with my father that day, and he was behind. ”

A small official got the order, and sure enough, he went to the back to find a middle-aged man to come over.

Gu Yanzhang ordered the two to stand separately, a foot away from each other, and placed a small number in front of each of them, with paper on them and a pen dipped in ink.

He said, "I have a few questions, I will ask them first, and you two are not negotiable, and each of you writes down the answer on a piece of paper." ”

The two of them said yes in unison.

Tian Feng stood behind, and a group of people stood aside, watching him ask, everyone was puzzled, and they didn't know what he was doing.

I only heard Gu Yanzhang ask first: "One of you has seen it in person, and the other has heard it, as far as the two of you know, what kind of illness did Xu Sanniang get that day?" ”

The two of them put pen to paper.

Gu Yanzhang asked again: "When encountering such an illness, with the acupuncture methods you have learned, a complete set of acupuncture methods, how long does it take, how many acupuncture points are there in total, and which acupuncture points are they?" ”

The two continued to write.

Gu Yanzhang asked the senior brother again: "On that day, your master pricked Xu Sanniang, how many needles did he prick, and which acupuncture points did he prick on?" How long does it take? ”

The senior brother hesitated for a moment and wrote it down.

After Gu Yanzhang asked these words, he didn't ask any more, let them draw their own papers, put them over, and put them in front of them.

The senior brother hurriedly explained: "On that day, the master gave Xu Sanniang a needle, because of the urgency of the illness, I started on the side, but too long has passed, and I can't remember very clearly how much time it took to use the needle, but it is approximately, there are other acupuncture points, I am afraid that there are also one or two discrepancies, but the difference should not be very big." ”

Gu Yanzhang nodded and asked, "Your master went to see Xu Sanniang, did he ever give the needle wind acupoint?" ”

The senior brother immediately shook his head and said: "No, the Fengfu acupoint is the place where the wind follows the house, that day I went to the place with the master, Xu Sanniang had a sound in the throat, the nose was not breathing, the breath was not smooth, obviously there was thick phlegm in the throat, the master was prick the needle to remove phlegm, through the hole, I can't care about the needle Fengfu acupoint, there is another case, if you want to give the acupuncture Fengfu acupoint, you need to ask the patient to sit upright If you lie down and pierce the big acupoint here, it is not easy to apply the needle. ”

Gu Yanzhang asked, "Aside from you, do you have any evidence for this?" ”

The senior brother replied: "On that day, Master and I entered the door to see Xu Sanniang, and there were other servants in the house, and there were also people on the side who laid their hands, or held a basin, or lifted it, or pressed it. ”

He answered here, and Li Chengwei sat a few steps away, although his face was very calm, but his eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

Gu Yanzhang asked here, and then called Li Chengwei over again, and said: "The coffin was opened, you also inspected the coffin, and it was determined that no one had opened the coffin, and the burial thing was missing at this time, what do you say?" ”

Li Chengwei shouted: "The villain really doesn't know! When I placed the funeral objects that day, I didn't do it myself, and I don't know who did it! ”

Gu Yanzhang didn't dwell on it here, nor did he ask questions, and said: "So, go and find the roster of your family, and call the people who served by your side in the year of Xu's death, and I will ask." ”

This is outside the city, and it is at this time that people return to the city, and wait until they find the roster, and then send it out, to say the least, there are also an hour or two, and the servants of Li Chengwei's family hurriedly took the order and left.

After asking for a while, Dr. Cao on the side had already made preparations.

Gu Yanzhang gave up his seat and asked him to stand in the middle and let everyone watch him act.

I saw that Dr. Cao took a silver needle with a red ribbon on the tail from the needle bag, and after finding the acupuncture point at the wooden head, for some reason, this time it seemed that it took a lot of strength to send the silver needle into the Fengfu acupoint of the fake head.

It should be known that most of the dummy heads commonly supplied to the apprentices of the medical hall are made of wood, wrapped in a layer of wax, and the correct acupuncture points are filled with water, and the rest of the places are either filled with wood bran or yellow mud, once the acupuncture points are pierced, it does not take much effort, it is easy to seal the wax through the needle, and the needle pierces out of the hole, and the water can splash out of the hole immediately, if it is not hit, it is not reacting.

Doctor Cao pierced the silver needle in his hand, tried the depth with the needle, and then took another silver needle, while looking at the position of the broken needle in Xu Sanniang's skull, and pierced it according to the direction and strength of the needle.

After the two needles were pierced, there was still no water splashing out of the skull.

Everyone was puzzled, but they saw that the little official was able to step forward, and he took out a sharp knife, carefully split the head into two pieces, and cut it finely for a while.

Soon, the half of the head was placed on its side on the small table, with the ears facing down, and the split side facing upwards, and it was not filled with chaff or yellow clay, but it was filled with solidified white ash, and all of it was now exposed.

And in the middle of the filled white wax, two silver needles pierced in it, and the needle body was now on the top, reflecting the scorching sun in the sky, and the white light was reflected. I saw that the two silver needles were pierced in the skull, but the direction was not the same, the needle tied with the red ribbon was one inch deep and one of the third, and the other needle was less than an inch deep, and the two directions were even more than two fingers wide, the one tied with the red ribbon was biased to the top of the head, and the other was biased to be pierced at the mouth and nose.

If it is an oral statement, it may not be possible to distinguish the difference for a while, but at this time, the two silver needles are pierced in the fake skull like this, and it is obvious that people can't pretend to be blind if they want to.

Tian Feng was standing behind and didn't speak, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but look at Dr. Cao on the side and asked, "What will be the consequences if the needle prick is so different?" ”

Dr. Cao said: "This is the key point of the brain, and if you can pierce it according to this technique, you may feel flustered and dizzy." ”

Tian Feng asked again: "Will it lead to death?" ”

Doctor Cao said: "The needle into the brain is very easy to have an accident, the Fengfu acupoint is to the acupoint, if the needle is not pricked properly, or will be flustered, dizzy, and even paralyzed limbs, as for death, it is not impossible, but the needle prick to this position, what will be the result, Xiaomin has not tried, dare not say." ”

He also said: "However, acupuncture and moxibustion Fengfu acupoint can dissipate heat and absorb moisture, clear the door and open the body, if there is a headache, dizziness, loss of voice, madness, acupuncture, self-passage, Xu Sanniang suffered from heat stroke, dizziness is difficult to get, according to medical theory to acupuncture Fengfu acupoint, this is the right way, but to acupuncture Fengfu acupoint, when to the mouth, nose, or downward oblique stab half an inch to a save, not deep puncture, so as not to hurt the human brain. ”

The two were talking here, but Li Chengwei on the side took half a step back with his left foot without a trace.

Gu Yanzhang glanced at him, didn't care, and asked Doctor Cao again: "Under normal circumstances, the needle is pierced into the Fengfu acupoint, if it is according to the location of the needle in Xu Sanniang's brain, how long will it take to give birth to an effect?" ”

Dr. Cao said: "Even if you can feel it, as for the symptoms and follow-up, you have to experience it again before you dare to make a judgment." ”

Gu Yanzhang turned his head and asked the senior brother and the other doctor, and there was no difference between what the two said.

After asking, he beckoned a small official and gave a few orders, and the other party hurriedly retreated, but after a while, he brought two people out of the crowd.

Both of them were women in their fifties, and the two of them walked up to her, saluted Tian and Gu first, and then reported their names.

Gu Yanzhang pointed to Li Chengwei on the side and said, "Do you two still know who he is?" ”

"It was my master's family, surnamed Li." One replied.

The other person followed.

Li Chengwei looked at the two of them, with a look of surprise on his face.

Gu Yanzhang asked him, "Have you ever recognized the two of them?" ”

Li Chengwei recognized it carefully, and was about to shake his head, but his face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "You two...... Didn't you go to Quanzhou? ”

Gu Yanzhang said: "Just now you said that half of the servants who served the Xu family that day have been scattered and returned to their hometowns, and the other half have been your daughter's marrying person, and they went to Quanzhou together, if you want to find it, you can give your name One by one, the two of them followed Li Liniang to Quanzhou to marry, when Xu Sanniang was dying that day, the two of them happened to be in the house with Li Liniang to take care of them, you recognize it again, but what's wrong?" ”

Li Chengwei's face was slightly gloomy, he shook his head, and said, "It seems that my lady used to serve her in the past." ”

At this time, it was useless to deny it, he simply admitted it directly, but somehow, Rao was secretly thinking that he had done a clean job, and when he saw that these two people could come out inexplicably, he already felt a little bad in his heart.

Gu Yanzhang asked, "Do you two remember that day when your master entered the house to look for the Xu family, who followed him?" ”

One of them said: "It should be Li Cha who follows." ”

Another person: "It was Li Cha, soon after entering the house, he asked me to ask for tea, only drank two sips, and said that his stomach was uncomfortable, and asked me to help look at it, if the old man asked, he said that he went to the thatched house." ”

Gu Yanzhang said: "Is it because there was only one person by your lord's side that day, and that person was not in the house soon after entering the door?" ”

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Gu Yanzhang asked again: "Your master can go into the house to see your wife, who is serving in the inner room?" ”

One of them said: "Mrs. Ben...... At that time, we were still called the eldest girl, and we took everyone to serve in it, and then the old man came, because he entered the inner room, and was sitting on the bed, and the eldest girl went out to see the medicine, and there were about four or five people in the room, and two or three of them were serving by the eldest girl, so they went out, and then the girl called us outside, saying that two pills that had been placed on the table outside were missing, and I also went out......"

Gu Yanzhang asked: "At that time, there were only two people in the back room, the master and the wife, yes and no?" ”

The two should be.

Gu Yanzhang said: "Except for the two of you, who else can testify?" ”

One of them said, "The people who were there that day are except for the eldest girl...... The rest, as long as they are found, can testify. ”

Gu Yanzhang asked again: "Your wife was originally asleep, when did she start to feel nauseous and vomit, and began to fall ill?" ”

One person said: "About two o'clock in the afternoon, when the people in the house had lunch at this hour, after three o'clock in the afternoon, I could not go to the kitchen to get food, because I saw that the hour was late, I was about to call someone to pick it up, I was afraid that it would be late, and I really didn't eat, I remembered it very clearly, I called the little girl in, and was about to order, but I heard the big girl calling, and hurriedly entered the door, and I saw the corner of the lady's mouth twitching, her eyes rolled white, and her mouth was salivating......"

"When are you looking for a doctor?"

"I went to the doctor at that time." The two replied almost simultaneously.

Gu Yanzhang asked again, "When did the doctor come?" ”

One person said: "I don't remember the time clearly, but when the doctor came, the lady was no longer good, but somehow, she never woke up, and she couldn't stop foaming at the mouth, wanting to vomit......"

Gu Yanzhang asked, "How did the doctor act?" ”

The man said: "Because he is the old doctor who is used to inviting at home, he hurriedly applied the needle, but before he finished it, the person is gone." ”

Gu Yanzhang said: "How did he give your wife an injection?" Does your wife lie on her back or on her stomach? Is there a needle in the head, and when the needle is pricked, there is always someone in the back room to guard it? ”

The two of them answered one by one, and what they said was the same as what the man before them said.

Gu Yanzhang asked again: "The two of you have been guarding, but when is there only one person in the house?" ”

The two said: "No, for fear that there is something wrong with the lady, the girl has been accompanying her, not to mention that there are three people who follow to take care of it, only the master is in the tea kung fu, and he is the only one in it." ”

At this point, there is no need to say more, everyone is already looking at Li Chengwei.

Xu Sanniang had been sleeping soundly before, and there were no major symptoms, when the doctor saw him, he was already ill, and all the diagnosis and treatment were under the noses of others, except for Li Chengwei, no one could enter the house alone and be alone with Xu Sanniang.

At this moment, if he says something ugly, he jumps into the Yellow River, and it will be difficult to wash it away.

However, Li Chengwei did not intend to clear up.

He saw that Tian and Gu were all looking at him, and exclaimed: "Didn't the official think that it was the villain who harmed my lady?" There is really no such thing, and I must not be cured of my sins because of such nonsense! In the Great Jin Dynasty, there is no such case! ”

Gu Yanzhang didn't say much to him, and said two words to the little officials on the side, and soon, a person came out of the crowd, holding a few gold and jade utensils in the tray in his hand, and walked in front of Xu Liang and Li Chengwei.

"Xu Liang, do you recognize this thing?"

Xu Liang's face changed drastically, and he shouted, "This is my sister's dowry!" It's also a funeral on the same day! It's all things that the two of us have played with since childhood, and I recognize them! Who are you and where did you get it from?! ”

Gu Yanzhang turned his head and asked Li Chengwei, "Yes and no?" ”

Li Chengwei hesitated a little and said, "The villain doesn't know much. ”

Gu Yanzhang turned his head and asked the two women on the side, "Do you two know each other?" ”

The two of them should be, and said, "It is my wife who is married." ”

Gu Yanzhang looked at Li Chengwei and said: "There is a place in Quanzhou that buys and sells all kinds of things, called the Treasure Pavilion, do you know?" ”

Li Chengwei smiled dryly and said, "The villain has never heard of it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the little official brought another person out.

The man stood in front of everyone, and as soon as he raised his head, Li Chengwei's face had changed greatly, and he shouted, "What are you?!" ”
