Chapter 44: Finding a Clue Uninvited Guest
"Poisoned! You say we're poisoned? The woman was a little surprised when she heard Su Xiuyun's words, she thought that they were just suffering from an unknown illness, but she didn't expect it to be poisoned. Not only the woman, but everyone in the tent was amazed at this fact.
Many people stood up and walked towards Su Xiuyun, as if they wanted to ask her for clarification. Su Zhanming, who had been guarding her side, saw that everyone was coming together, and immediately took a few steps forward to block Su Xiuyun. Those people who could still move seemed to realize their abruptness when they saw his movements, so everyone tacitly stopped five meters away from Su Xiuyun.
Seeing this, Su Xiuyun and Su Zhanming both breathed a sigh of relief, Su Xiuyun got up after calming the woman, stood at the front, looked at the crowd in front of him, and introduced himself to everyone without hesitation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are sent by the imperial court to help you, I am Su Xiuyun, the concubine of the Hussar General's Mansion in Shangjing, and this is my father, the Hussar General."
Now that her identity has been exposed, Su Xiuyun doesn't care about saying more, anyway, there is no need to hide it, and saying it will make everyone trust them more. Sure enough, everyone was skeptical of her at first, but when they heard the three words of the general, they immediately believed it.
Although the people don't know any hussar generals, they are all generals, and they are sent by the imperial court, so they will definitely be able to save them!
Taking in everyone's expressions, Su Xiuyun breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and continued: "Everyone, please listen to me quietly, this is very important to you and me!" ”
Her voice was neither loud nor small, just enough to be clearly transmitted to the ears of those present. Everyone used to rush up and chatter, but now they are also quiet under her comfort.
Finally stabilized the scene, Su Xiuyun hurried to ask: "Everyone, you must have known that you were poisoned, so I won't say more." ”
"Please answer me truthfully if you know the next question, please be quiet if you don't know, thank you for your cooperation!" Although there should be no need to stick to small sections at this critical moment, Su Xiuyun still politely maintained all the etiquette and gave everyone present enough respect.
"First of all, do you have any impression of what you ate or drank before you were poisoned, or who you came into contact with?" This is the first and most critical question.
Everyone who heard the question began to look down and recall, and after a while, an uncle with a good face recalled. "I remembered that, I felt unwell that day I passed by the Liuhe River in the eastern suburbs of the city, and I just came back from chopping firewood and drank a few sips when I was thirsty, and I felt uncomfortable at night."
After he reminded him like this, many people present began to echo and loudly told Su Xiuyun that he had also come into contact with the river. However, most people said that they had not been to the river, but Su Xiuyun got another key clue, more than half of them had fetched water from wells in the west of the city, and they were all poisoned after drinking well water.
It may be a coincidence if one person says this, but it is not a coincidence if most people say so. Su Zhanming and Su Xiuyun were keenly aware of something, so they kept their discoveries in their hearts and pressed them down. Then Su Xiuyun asked a few more questions, and everyone answered them very cooperatively.
Solve all the doubts in her heart, Su Xiuyun knew it in her heart. Then she asked everyone to line up and check their pulses in turn. While diagnosing and treating, Su Xiuyun instructed Leng Li to go to the city to prepare herbs, and she wanted to boil the medicines here and distribute them to everyone.
Although I don't know what kind of poison it is now, there is no problem with Su Xiuyun doing some antidote to relieve the onset of toxin. The division of labor between the few people here is clear, and Su Zhanming also asked his entourage to prepare according to Su Xiuyun's instructions. The diagnosis and treatment here are proceeding in an orderly manner, and the three of them do not know that there is a greater crisis waiting for them.
This day has been busy since she got up, Su Xiuyun has been constantly diagnosing and prescribing prescriptions, dispensing medicine and boiling medicine for everyone. I didn't eat or drink much water all day long, and if Su Zhanming hadn't pulled her away at night, it was estimated that Su Xiuyun would still have to work in the tent at this time.
However, this day's busy work is not done in vain, at least Su Xiuyun is already a living bodhisattva who saves the suffering in the hearts of those people. As she walked back, the woman with the child in her arms came out and reluctantly saw her off, as if she would not come again tomorrow.
Su Xiuyun gave her the few pastries and silver money on her body, hoping that she could take the child to find a better place to live. The woman took the silver and pastries, and cried and promised Su Xiuyun that she would definitely find a good place to take care of the children.
In this way, Su Xiuyun got into the carriage back, bumped all the way and ate something in the car, and when she arrived at the inn, Su Xiuyun no longer knew how to walk. Su Zhanming felt sorry for his daughter's tiredness, so he asked the kitchen to make a table of delicious food.
Sitting in the lobby, Su Xiuyun feasted and didn't care about the image at all. It's just that she was still thinking about those people while eating, and in a trance, she seemed to see Ji Jiajun in her previous life. At that time, they also fought side by side like this, but in three years, they were no longer human.
The meal was a little absent-minded, Su Zhanming didn't know what was wrong, but she was tired, so she hurriedly pushed someone into the room to rest. Su Xiuyun smiled and said goodnight to Su Zhanming, and then entered the room.
When the door closed, Su Zhanming stood outside the door and looked at the closed door, thinking in his heart that no one knew. Entering the room, Su Xiuyun, who was still smiling a second ago, immediately put away her smile, and then stood in front of the door without moving, but her eyes carefully roamed the room.
Listening to Su Zhanming's footsteps outside the door and leaving, Su Xiuyun relieved himself and walked into the room. Walked to the table and sat down, poured himself a glass of water and drank it slowly, the corners of his mouth hooked into a disdainful smile. Leng Li was sent by her to investigate the matter of the well, and he is not here at this time, it seems that this is the investigation that came after a clear investigation.
"Your Excellency has already come, why don't you come out and sit down." With his backhand in his hand, he poured a clean cup and poured water on the table, and Su Xiuyun's fingers unconsciously lit it on the table. After saying that, there was a sudden laughter in the air, and the voice was a man.
And at first glance, this voice was still a little familiar, and Su Xiuyun recalled it for a while. A figure slowly walked out of the dark corner, and with his face completely exposed to the candlelight, Su Xiuyun also confirmed the conjecture in his heart.
"I can't imagine that you are a little girl who still has this ability, and you can actually find me." The man's joking voice gradually approached, and Su Xiuyun was a little speechless.
"Your Excellency really lifted me, if it weren't for Your Excellency's deliberate exposure of horses' feet, how would I know that Your Excellency still has a habit of visiting the girl's boudoir at night!"
