Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 318 Unexpectedly

Yu Chixin escorted twenty inner guards, walked through the palace corridor and the well-arranged palace wall gates, and went to Shangyao Bureau to investigate the case.

The Shangyao Bureau is one of the six bureaus of Dianzhong Province, mainly in charge of controlling imperial medicine and diagnosing the Hou Fangmao. There are usually some imperial physicians on duty here, unless there is something to take the pulse of the nobles in the palace and treat illnesses. Go to the government office here, sort out prescriptions, research medicines, etc.

The Imperial Physician is just a verbal name. There are four types of official positions in the Shangyao Bureau. The chief envoy in charge of this department is named Fengyu, currently Fu Dongsheng is in charge, and the two direct chiefs are named Li Keteng and Guo Sheng respectively. As well as several people who are the main medicine, except for the above four official positions, the rest are ordinary imperial doctors, mainly responsible for sorting out prescription books and medicinal materials, and doing some miscellaneous tasks.

Only those who are above imperial physicians are qualified to see and diagnose officials, empress dowagers, concubines, and princesses. They are equivalent to the attending physicians of later generations. rule.

Su Chen arrived at a courtyard in the west area of ​​the imperial palace. This is the yamen of the Dianzhong Provincial Shangyao Bureau. He found that the people inside were all under surveillance by the imperial guards. It was probably the emperor's order. After the news spread, there was a ban The guards surrounded the place and temporarily prevented the imperial doctors from entering and leaving, waiting for Su Chen to come and check the case.

When Fu Dongsheng saw Su Chen coming over, he had some anxiety on his face, stepped forward and said impatiently: "Young master Su, you've come, the government sent someone to ban the Shangyao Bureau, and the guards said they were waiting for you to come over to investigate the medicine Is there any way to mix the soup with poison?"

After Su Chen bowed his hands to salute, he asked: "Master Fu, I want to check whether the imperial doctor took the medicine according to the prescription, and whether it was blended according to the proportion. Besides, who is in charge of supervision."

Fu Dongsheng replied: "Wang Cong, the main medicine, was the one who took the medicine. Because he was taking the medicine for the prince, he was more cautious. Li Keteng, the director, took a look at it himself."

Wang Cong is a man in his thirties. He seems to have some identity and background. He doesn't care about this young Su Chen. He walked out with a bit of arrogance and said, "So what if I caught the medicine. Wang stayed in Shangyao Bureau." For many years, the prescriptions I have taken can be remembered in my memory, so can I still make mistakes? Do I need to recite them and verify them."

Su Chen looked at him, but said with some interest: "Can you recite the prescription and dosage of the epilepsy decoction?"

"What's the problem? Listen carefully, there are Shudi six qian, angelica six qian, Baizhi two qian, half a scorpion, two centipede, two scorpion silkworms, Guangdilong two qian, leeches one and two qian, ground beetle One coin and two coins, cicada slough one coin and two coins, Zhinanxing two coins, Sichuan Yujin two coins..."

This Wang Cong is really smart and intelligent, and he is good at memorizing prescriptions.

Su Chen nodded slightly, and continued to ask: "How to use it?"

Wang Cong continued to backtrack: "Decoct in water three times, take three times in three doses, two doses a day, half a month to see the effect, that's what is written in the prescription!"

Su Chen still refused to let go of the details and asked: "I'm familiar with the memorization, every time the medicine is taken out, have you ever measured it with a scale?"

Wang Congli said bluntly: "Of course, Mr. Zhichang Li personally supervised it."

Li Keteng, in his 40s, stood up and said solemnly: "Yes, Li can testify that the dosage is completely in accordance with the prescription, and there is no problem."

Su Chen glanced over a cooking stove, pointed to it and said, "Is the torment done there?"

Fu Dongsheng explained: "That's right, it's about the prince's safety, so when the medicine is brewed, there are many people supervising it, and even the father-in-law who passed the decree in front of the palace will watch it in person, and won't play tricks in the middle."

After Su Chen finished listening, he went straight over and entered the stove room where the medicine was boiled. However, the residue of the medicine that the second prince had boiled at noon had been cleaned up. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but he couldn't find the medicine in the casserole. It's gone, there are only undecocted medicine packets, and there are still a lot left.

"Get someone to cook the rest of the herbs. I want to taste it myself."

Fu Dongsheng nodded, ordered two low-level imperial doctors to burn charcoal as instructed, put water in a celadon casserole, boiled it, put in the package of herbs, and decocted the medicine in water.

Su Chen turned around and asked, "Where is the person in charge of delivering the medicine?"

Fu Dongsheng replied: "When serving the medicine, two imperial doctors and two eunuchs sent it. The eunuch's father-in-law took the medicine soup, and the imperial doctor followed behind."

"Where are the two imperial doctors?" Su Chen continued to ask.

"It's all here." Fu Dongsheng pointed to the two young imperial doctors and said.

Su Chen looked at the two of them, and asked: "When delivering the soup and medicine, did you encounter any disturbances or strange things on the way, such as who rushed out to block the way, or who was left behind."

An imperial doctor recalled: "On the way...a father-in-law, who seemed to be called Xiao Guizi, suddenly complained of a stomachache, so he turned around and put the tray on the platform of the corridor next to him, and then he apologized and went to the toilet. "

Su Chen didn't expect such a coincidence that something would happen on the way, so he said: "General Yuchi, please send someone immediately to bring over the eunuch father-in-law who went to the toilet with an excuse. I have a few questions to ask."

Yu Chixin nodded and said, "No problem."

He gave some instructions to the four guards and asked them to find Xiao Guizi.

Su Chen thought in his heart, if there is no problem with taking the medicine and decocting it in water, then only the part of the way and feeding the medicine will be attacked.

The casserole in which the medicine was boiled was continuously heated, and the steam was evaporating, and a bitter smell of medicine wafted out, and the smell was not pleasant.

Wang Cong said with a sneer at this time: "Young Master Su, your anti-epileptic prescription is unheard of. It contains many poisonous insects and weeds. Just drink it like this. Not to mention the Second Highness who is sick, he is just an ordinary child. I can't stand it either."

The rest of the imperial doctors and others were whispering, some were watching with cold eyes, some were sneering, some were expressionless, and they had all kinds of expressions.

Su Chen said nonchalantly: "Whether it works or not, you can find out if someone with epilepsy has tried it. If it's poisonous, just ask someone to drink it and you'll know. If Mr. Wang doesn't believe it, you can also gamble with Su, Like this official uniform."

"You!" Wang Cong was a little angry, but he didn't dare to open his mouth to make a bet. The meaning of wearing an official uniform meant that if he lost the bet, he would leave Shang Yao Bureau and resign from the palace.

The imperial doctor is well paid, has a high salary, and often deals with the nobles in the palace and the imperial court. It is a good place to accumulate contacts, and she is unwilling to give up.

Princess Yongning looked at Su Chen and made the main medicine Wang Cong speechless with just a few words. She smiled lightly and felt a little happy in her heart. As a princess, she took the initiative to justify Su Chen's name and said: "Su Chen The son is unparalleled in talent and skill in medicine. This time he was sent to the palace by the official family to treat the second prince and empress. He has made great contributions. All the imperial doctors of Shangyao Bureau should use this as an example. No, Mr. Su has a jade card bestowed by the official in his hand, if the official comes in person, he has the right to cut it first and then play it!"

After hearing this, everyone became nervous, and looked at Su Chen more respectfully.

After a while, only two of the four guards who went to summon Xiao Guizi came back and reported to Yuchi Xin: "Yuchi Dutong, that eunuch father-in-law... something happened, he was found hanged in his residence, as if he committed suicide in fear of crime." .”

"died?"

Everyone was shocked, even Su Chen was surprised.
