Early the next morning, in Xianyang City, following the violent illness of Zhao Tuo, the Marquis of Wugong, a powerful news once again attracted everyone's attention.

"The emperor is going to pit the alchemist!"

"I heard that the medicine refined by these monks was poisonous, and it was presented to the emperor, but it was mistakenly taken by the martial arts marquis, so he couldn't afford to fall ill."

"Shhh...... Doesn't it mean that if the martial arts marquis didn't take the medicine, the emperor took it. This is to poison the emperor to death! ”

"I guess they are the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who have a bad heart, and want to poison the emperor by refining medicine."

Countless people talked and sighed, and after hearing the news that they were going to be killed, they all ran to the Baqiao outside Xianyang City.

They wanted to see the excitement and see the scene of the emperor killing the Fangshi.

The black Qin flag fluttered in the wind, and the heavily armed lieutenant army escorted hundreds of people to the side of the Baqiao.

Among them, there were about twenty or thirty monks, and the leader was the famous alchemy master Hou Sheng and his disciples.

In addition, there were more than ten other sects of alchemists, who cried as they walked, and at the same time scolded Hou Sheng's master and apprentice.

These alchemists also refine medicines.

But their output and quality were always inferior to Hou Sheng's, and they were not valued by the emperor, and they received much less materials and money. How do you know that their treatment on weekdays is not as good as Hou Sheng, but when they die, they have the same end, and they are still affected by Hou Sheng, so how can I swallow the resentment in my heart.

These people don't complain about the martial arts Hou Zhao Tuo, after all, they are also victims, and they are still lying on the couch and can't come up.

They complained a little that the emperor was implicated in them, but the most resentful in their hearts was Hou Sheng's master and apprentice.

"Hou Sheng Lao Zhuzi, you are bold, and you dare to sacrifice such a heavy medicine to the emperor, hurting people and hurting people, Naigong really wants to bite off your head!"

"Phew, if the technology doesn't work, let us wait, it's better than falling into this fate!"

"Woo...... I don't want to die. ”

I listened to the complaints of the monks, and the cries of the disciples and servants who were implicated.

Hou Sheng's face was as white as a snowflake, and he muttered in his mouth.

"My medicine is fine...... Since the death of two slaves in the drug, I have been tested for improvement, and nothing has happened. The medicine refined in the same Ding furnace should have the same medicinal properties, how could it be that the other five medicines were fine, and something happened to the one that Wu Gong Hou ate. ”

"It must have been the emperor who did it, the emperor poisoned the medicine, I am responsible for him!"

Hou Sheng didn't believe that there was something wrong with his medicine until he died.

When he was pressed down by the Qin pawn on the side of the Baqiao.

He craned his neck and wailed towards the clear blue sky and the city of Xianyang in the distance.

"If I die, no one in the world can refine immortal ......"

As the axe fell, the blood soared, and Hou Sheng's wailing came to an abrupt end.

Along with him, there were hundreds of Fang Shi disciples and servants in the palace.

Countless Qin people's cheers sounded around, all of them were well killed.

One of the bearded men jumped up and shouted: "Poisoning the emperor and the martial arts marquis, the crime is extremely evil, pit killing, build a capital view!" ”

"Pit kill!"

"Tsukikyo Temple!"

Countless Qin people raised their arms and shouted.

The lieutenant sergeant quickly gathered the corpses of these soldiers and rammed them with earth on the side of the Ba Bridge.

Pit killing.

Naturally, it cannot be buried alive as many people think of it.

Back then, Wu Anjun was white, but he was not idle enough to dig a pit and bury 400,000 Zhao Jun alive.

Cao Cao, who killed 80,000 Yuan soldiers in history, Shi Le, who killed 30,000 Jin soldiers, and Li Shimin, who collected 3,300 people, will not be idle enough to dig pits and bury people.

The so-called pit killing is what the history books say, "all the pits, so the corpses accumulate on Qu Road".

The killed corpses are piled up on the side of the road, and the soil is compacted to make a pyramid composed of corpses to deter the enemy, which is the Jingguan, which is the so-called true meaning of pit killing.

This kind of thing Qin Jun did not less, even when Zhao Tuo attacked Chu, in order to anger Zuo Sima Zhaoping, who was chasing all the way, he also killed the Chu army and built his corpse as a Beijing view.

Half an hour later, a "pyramid" of hundreds of corpses stood on the side of the water.

The surging water flowed, and the Qin people who passed by from the Baqiao Bridge could clearly see the arms, legs and feet of the hundreds of corpses buried in the rammed earth, as well as some dead heads exposed in the soil.

That's what the emperor meant.

Pit and kill Fangshi to build a view of Beijing and deter the world.

He wants all the people in the world to know that those who dare to do evil things and deceive the king are the only way to die.

Among the countless applause, there were also some people who looked different.

In a small mound outside Xianyang City, several people in wide robes and big sleeves are standing here, looking into the distance.

"Han Zhong, you didn't follow Hou Yan to learn the art of alchemy, and now you have escaped a catastrophe, how do you feel?"

It was an old man in a black robe with white hair and white beard who spoke.

Although his beard and hair are white, the skin on his face is very plump, his eyes are bright, and he does not have the shriveled posture of ordinary old people.

Han Zhong is a middle-aged man who is about forty years old and has a long face and fine eyes, he sighed: "Fortunately, I listened to Lu Gong's words, and was not bewitched by Hou Yan, so I went to learn some alchemy from him, otherwise I am afraid that there will be my Han Zhong's head on the Jingguan built by the Qin people today." ”

Lu Sheng bowed his head and said: "The immortal elixir is planted by immortals, how can mortals get it?" Hou Yan thought that relying on the gold stone to refine the medicine, he could achieve the effect of immortality, which was really wishful thinking. I said earlier that the things he refined were all mortal things, and it was impossible to achieve the effect of immortality. If you want to get the elixir of immortality, only seeking immortals is the right way. ”

Han Zhong glanced at the "Fangshi Pyramid" in the distance again, and said with some fear: "Duke Lu, the emperor is furious and ordered all the medicine refiners in Xianyang to be killed here. We are also monks, and I don't know if we will be implicated. ”

Lu Sheng shook his head and smiled: "What are you worried about, this time the incident is because the medicine offered by Hou Yan caused the martial arts Hou to fall ill, so the emperor will be angry and carry out the pit killing." What does the sin committed by his alchemist have anything to do with my immortal-seeking alchemist? ”

Speaking of this, a gleam flashed in Lu Sheng's eyes, and he whispered: "And after this happens, the emperor will definitely not believe in the words of any alchemist again, nor will he take those golden stone medicines again, if the emperor wants to live forever, he can only rely on us." ”

"This Hou Yan has used his life to help us!"

……

In the palace of the Marquis of Wugong.

After two days of conditioning, Zhao Tuo's face has improved a lot.

Although he is still lying on the couch and has not gotten out of bed, he has the strength to speak and eat, he has been able to eat and drink normally, and even the number of times he goes to the toilet has basically returned to normal, and his physical condition is getting better and better.

This made everyone in the palace extremely happy, and they all said that the prince and the prince were profound.

Zhao Tuo deduced that after drinking the medicine prescribed by Xia Wuhe, he was able to recover so quickly, and the reason was put on the imperial doctor.

This made Xia Wu, who came to review, a little confused.

Is his medical skills so powerful?

After all, in this era when medical technology is still in the primitive, the symptoms like those shown by Zhao Tuo are simply violent illnesses and serious diseases, even if there is medicine to drink, it will not be able to recover in ten days and half a month.

Zhao Tuo's recovery speed surprised Xia Wuji.

Only Zhao Tuo himself knows best what the situation is.

He didn't have intestinal dysentery at all, and it wasn't a disease that came on after taking a miracle medicine at all, but a symptom of intestinal spasm that he had caused himself.

Intestinal spasm is not a disease, but a paroxysmal abdominal pain caused by strong contraction of the smooth muscles of the intestinal wall after certain stimuli.

This symptom is terrible, it will have diarrhea, but it will not kill people, there is no risk of death, and it is no problem to carry it with the body of Zhao Tuo, a young man.

As for why Zhao Tuo had intestinal spasms, it was naturally a matter of oranges.

In order to save Li Xin in Chu back then, he ran hundreds of miles to Shouchun, the capital of Chu, and was cut off from food on the way, so he could only eat oranges for a long time, and even ate a large amount of citrus on an empty stomach, and his stomach had already been stimulated to the extreme.

After that battle, Zhao Tuo wanted to vomit when he saw oranges, and if he ate oranges, he would vomit and diarrhea, and if he ate more, it would cause intestinal spasms, and he rolled all over the ground in pain.

This is also the reason why he didn't allow Black Buttocks, Shiruma and others to come in to visit, because most of the soldiers who followed him to Shouchun had this symptom, and if they came in and asked, there would be a risk of goofs.

Fortunately, Zhao Tuo's plan was successfully completed.

He disguised himself as a serious illness with intestinal spasms caused by eating oranges, and successfully deceived Xia Wuji, and made the First Emperor and the entire Xianyang people think that there was something wrong with the medicine offered by Fang Shi.

After the eldest princess exposed Hou Sheng's lies, Zhao Tuo took the opportunity to suggest that the emperor investigate the history of these alchemists before refining medicine.

After interrogation and investigation by professional Qin officials, it was found that some of the medicines that these alchemists had refined before were too heavy, which could not only make people violently ill, but even have the risk of violent death.

According to the confession of Hou Sheng's disciples, before Hou Sheng entered Qin, the medicine he refined was too strong, and the medicine died as a slave who tested the medicine.

In this way, it explains why Zhao Tuo became violently ill after taking that pill.

Because Hou Sheng's alchemy skills are not up to par.

One of the six pills was too large, and he became violently ill after taking it.

It just so happened that the emperor gave this medicine to Zhao Tuo.

All the reasons have been figured out, and everyone is happy, and the first emperor has also cleared his suspicion of killing Zhao Tuo.

However, in the eyes of everyone, Zhao Tuo completely blocked the emperor.

"Wugong Hou blocked the poison for His Majesty, he is really brave and loyal!"

The first emperor was happy and afraid, and he also felt guilty and grateful to Zhao Tuo.

"Zhao Tuo, it's really my lucky star."

If there was no Zhao Tuo, then he would be the first emperor who was lying on the bed today, with a pale face and a constant diarrhea.

In a fit of rage, the First Emperor not only killed the alchemists, but also killed all his servants and subordinates, burning and destroying all the medicines to vent his hatred.

"I think that the emperor will not dare to take medicine indiscriminately in the future, and with the beginning of this matter, the future emperors of China may also be jealous of this alchemy, knowing that this thing is poisonous, from this point of view, it is also a good thing."

The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth hooked up a smile, although the fate of those medicine refining practitioners was a little miserable, but these people did not think about labor and production, lobbied the monarch all day long, and took a lot of resources to refine poisonous drugs for the emperor to eat, no matter how you look at it, they are the moths of the country, harmful to the society and not beneficial.

If you can suppress the practice of refining medicine through this matter, it can be regarded as a positive social atmosphere.

Outside the door, there was the sound of footsteps.

Zhao Tuo looked up and saw that the person who came was his wife.

"Love, would you like something to eat?"

Ying Yin Yan walked into the house elegantly and asked Zhao Tuo softly.

Hearing this, Zhao Tuo really felt a little hungry.

He smiled: "Yan Yan came just in time, and I was also trying to eat." ”

Ying Yin Yan also smiled, but her smile was full of cunning.

She leaned slightly to reveal the maid with a food plate behind her.

on a food plate.

There are a few fine yellow citrus fruits on the side.

The familiar faint orange fragrance means that they come from Huainan in Chudi.

"Love, let's eat some oranges first."

It's a bit busy today, and there's only one shift. Recently, the family has been busy decorating the house, and there are quite a lot of things, and I will try to keep it updated normally, and it should be much easier to wait until next month.
