Chapter 122: Dig up a potato and come out to see
Time flies.
Treat the displaced people infected with the plague in Zhuangzi, use distilled liquor to refine high-grade liquor for sale, and take Sun Simiao and Li Mingyu to the hospital to see a doctor together when he has time.
Three months went by in a flash.
By the time of the lunar month, most of the homeless people who were sick and dying had recovered, and the remaining few people had some underlying diseases, so they were not completely cured, but they could also walk on the ground and move freely.
In the East Palace.
Li Chengqian, who finally finished his errand with his father, breathed a sigh of relief at this time!
"Lu Heng, Divine Doctor Sun, this time it's really thanks to you!"
Li Chengqian looked at the two people in front of him gratefully and said:
"Without the help of the two of you, this plague would not have been completely solved until now."
"Chang'an City will not be able to live in peace."
Sun Simiao waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to thank him.
"The old man has been practicing medicine and saving people for so many years, even if he doesn't help the court, he will try his best to save people."
As if he remembered something, he turned his head to look at Lu Heng:
"By the way, boy, you said earlier that you would cooperate with the old man to get that case......
"Have you figured out how to get it now?"
Now, Lu Heng and Li Chengqian already know that Sun Simiao is writing a medical book, and it is still a tome, even with the inventory of the current medicine king, it is estimated that it will take a few years to complete.
Lu Heng thought for a while and said:
"I have to tell you one thing in advance if I want to start working together."
"If we study medical skills together, you may not be able to accept my method."
"You have to dissect fresh dead bodies, and you can't just dissect a few, the purpose of this is to get a clear understanding of all the structures in the human body."
Li Chengqian had heard this statement with Li Mingyu before, so he didn't react.
However, Sun Simiao was shocked!
He no longer brushed his beard casually, but his eyes widened:
"After this man dies, he must be buried in peace......
"If you want to disembowel the other party, then you have to agree with his family!"
Lu Heng smiled and said:
"Then just look for criminals who raid their homes and have no family members, isn't it?"
Sun Simiao: ......
All right.
It's also a good idea.
Li Chengqian didn't understand this, so he only sighed and said:
"Alas, after dealing with the displaced people, I will have to go to court."
"Lu Heng, my father already knows about the wheelchair you specially built for me, and he praised it for doing a good job after seeing it......"
"Now I can't stop going to the court because of the inconvenience of my legs and feet!"
Lu Heng was a little strange.
He patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder and said:
"Didn't you really want to share your father's worries before, and then make a career in the court, why do you suddenly not want to go to the court again?"
"Brother Gao Ming, your rebellious period came very suddenly!"
Three months ago, Li Chengqian promised him with great enthusiasm that he would work with him to do immortal deeds.
As a result, I'm directly fucking tired of school...... Ah no, tired of the court?
Hearing this, Li Chengqian's face became even more bitter.
"If you're not in the court, naturally you don't know ......"
"Just two days ago, my father personally issued an edict and added an article to the "Tang Law Discussion", blood relatives are not allowed to intermarry within three generations, and the punishment is extremely heavy."
"Just think about it, the wealthy families in Chang'an City heard about it, and they all fried the pot!"
"Recently, at the daily court meeting, they didn't do anything else and discussed, but chased after their father to ask the basis of this law, and why the punishment was so severe."
"Alas, even Duke Wei and my uncle, who participated in the drafting, were scolded day by day......"
"This is a noisy court meeting like a vegetable market, who wants to go!"
Lu Heng was stunned.
He probably told His Majesty Li Er about this three or four months ago, when Li Chengqian was still present.
Since then, there has been no news, and I thought that the matter was just skimmed over so lightly.
Engage in a half-day ...... It turns out that His Majesty is holding back a big move!
Lu Heng touched his chin and said:
"So, do these families know that I brought it up first?"
Li Chengqian shook his head like a rattle:
"Of course I don't know!"
"Father and Emperor hid it for you, and even Duke Wei didn't tell them."
"I told you this matter, and I also want you to be careful, don't mention this matter to anyone again, otherwise they will kill you and ruin your family!"
When he said this, he didn't avoid Sun Simiao next to him.
First, everyone worked together on the plague of displaced people in Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs, and they were very clear about each other's people. In addition to being interested in medicine, the officials who fell from the sky refused to continue, let alone deal with the family.
Especially when the children of the family came to the eastern suburbs to make trouble before, the old man shouted on the spot to let Lu Heng rest assured that he would be beaten, and those who were not hacked to death on the spot could be saved, which was already a very clear position.
Moreover, Sun Simiao himself is also from a poor family, and neither his ancestors nor himself have anything to do with the family's half a dime.
What's wrong with this?
As a result, what neither of them expected was that Sun Simiao suddenly sneered when he listened!
"Speaking of this, the old man also remembered an old case many years ago."
The old man touched his beard, shook his head with disdain, and said:
"About ten years ago, the old man traveled all over the world and walked to the Kanto region."
"When I arrived at a Zhuangzi, I met a peasant woman holding a baby boy and crying and telling the old man to save the child."
"The child was so dirty, it looked like it had been dug out of the mire, and the old man wondered in his heart, if this peasant woman loved her son so much, how could she let him fall into the mire?"
"Later, I wiped the child clean and saw clearly, the baby boy's face was extremely cute, but when I lifted the swaddling clothes, I could see that he was born with an arm missing!"
"As for the origin of the child, after the old man rescued him, he asked for a long time before asking."
"It was a child from the side branch of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and when he was born and found that he was a natural cripple, he handed it over to the servants and sent it to Zhuangzi, and then found a suitable time to drown or strangle him."
"It's just an abandoned baby, and you have to kill them all...... It's a loss of conscience! ”
Li Chengqian and Lu Heng were dumbfounded when they heard this.
This kind of family secret, if you don't meet people in the family, it is really difficult to pass it on!
Lu Heng asked:
"No, since they were all drowned, how did the peasant woman know about it, and how did she save the child?"
Sun Simiao sighed:
"Because the peasant woman is the one who was ordered to drown the child in the Zhuangzi."
"She herself has just given birth, and she really can't do it, but there are people from the Zheng family to watch, so she can only throw the child in first, and then fish it out when the person leaves."
"If I hadn't met the old man, I guess I wouldn't have been able to save it no matter how I got it!"
