Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 226 Murderous Case

The middle-aged woman is Wu Zetian.

Seeing that Huang Sixi was only focused on taking the pulse, Yuchi Zhenjin quickly reminded him, "Dr. Huang, the Queen Mother is asking you a question, tell her the truth!"

Huang Sixi then replied: "Don't worry, Queen, the old lady is not suffering from a serious illness. I promise that I can cure her!"

In fact, the old lady of Rongguo was suffering from just a common cold, but she was over 80 years old and too weak, so the imperial doctors did not dare to use medicine decisively. Once the disease was delayed, it became more and more serious, to the point where it could not be cured.

Huang Sixi could easily cure this disease. He only needed to use the Rama Qi and circulate it in the old lady of Rongguo's body for a few times, and the condition would be alleviated.

But he pressed Madam Rong's pulse with his fingers and injected his internal energy into Madam Rong's wrist. His power worked silently. To outsiders, it seemed that he was just taking Madam Rong's pulse and did not perform any substantial medical treatment.

In order to demonstrate his superb medical skills, he suggested to Wu Zetian: "I want to give the old lady a massage. Please ask the Queen Mother to assign a maid to help the old lady stand up and half sit on the bed!"

There were dozens of female relatives, female officials, eunuchs and imperial doctors in the palace.

As soon as Huang Sixi finished speaking, someone volunteered to step forward and help.

Wu Zetian stopped him and said, "This is a matter of great importance to saving my mother. I cannot trust you to do this. I must serve my mother myself!"

She sat at the head of the bed and helped old Madam Rongguo up herself.

The fact that she showed great filial piety towards her mother was not necessarily because she really loved Madam Rongguo, but more of a show. She acted like a filial child, and when the news spread through the mouths of everyone present, it was beneficial to her reputation.

After Wu Zetian helped the old lady of Rongguo up, Huang Sixi used his internal strength, and with his palm several inches away from the old lady's back, he sent power to the old lady through the air.

Wu Zetian couldn't help but be amazed that Huang Sixi could heal the old lady's wounds and diseases without any contact with her body. His medical skills were so magical and unique.

But Wu Zetian still had doubts in her heart. She glanced at Huang Sixi and saw that he looked very young, no more than twenty years old. She did not trust Huang Sixi's medical skills. After all, in the medical field, it is common sense that the older you are, the more skilled you are.

After being distracted for a while, Wu Zetian noticed that white mist began to rise above the head of the old lady of Rongguo. The white mist emitted hot air, which made Wu Zetian's face sweat.

Wu Zetian was unhappy. She was used to a comfortable life and didn't want to suffer even a little bit of hardship.

She was thinking whether to call a maid to do it for her, when she suddenly noticed that the high fever of Mrs. Rongguo had subsided.

When she helped the old lady up just now, her whole body was burning hot, but now her body temperature has returned to normal.

Huang Sixi moved his palm for a while, then retracted his arm and stopped practicing.

The old lady of Rongguo also woke up. She turned her head and saw Wu Zetian sitting behind her. She asked curiously, "My son, why are you running here instead of enjoying your life in the palace?"

When Wu Zetian saw the old lady speak, she was overjoyed: "Mom, are you feeling better?"

The old lady shook her head slowly: "I have never been ill, so how can I talk about whether I am good or not? I don't know why, but I am very hungry. Can you bring me a bowl of porridge first so that I can have a sip?"

Wu Zetian waved her hands hurriedly: "Quick, serve the meal!"

There was an immediate commotion in the bedroom. More than ten maids set off to prepare meals. Several imperial doctors also accompanied them, reminding the old lady that she should eat light food as she had just woken up.

Wait for the maid to return with the meal and serve the old lady.

Wu Zetian left the bedside and came to Yuchi Zhenjin and Huang Sixi: "Yuchi Zhenjin, you have done a great deed today. I am very happy!"

Yuchi Zhenjin bowed quickly and said, "This time, the old lady is well again thanks to the amazing doctor Huang. I dare not take credit for it!"

Wu Zetian said: "You have the merit of recommending people. I know it clearly. When I see His Majesty later, I will report your contribution to His Majesty."

Yuchi Zhenjin was secretly delighted. Today, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty jointly govern the country, which can be described as two saints ruling the country. Even if the Empress Dowager does not report to His Majesty, she has the right to reward him alone. Promotion is certain, but he doesn't know to what position he will be promoted.

Wu Zetian first praised Yuchi Zhenjin, and then began to reward Huang Sixi: "Is Divine Doctor Huang still a commoner? It is a pity for a virtuous person like you to be stranded among the people. You should be an official in the Imperial Medical Bureau and serve the court!"

Huang Sixi knew this would happen, so he refused directly, saying, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, I am a disciple of Master Sanzang. Before he passed away, Master Sanzang asked me to open a pharmacy in Shendu. He said that I was half a Buddhist monk and not suitable for being an official, so he only let me practice medicine among the people!"

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Is this true?"

She didn't believe that there would be a man in this world who didn't like being an official. What was the purpose of a man in the world studying, learning martial arts, and studying medicine? It was to get a high position and a generous salary!
Huang Sixi took out the imperial certificate given by Master Sanzang from his bosom and handed it to Wu Zetian for review: "Please read this, Queen Mother. Master Sanzang asked me to enshrine this certificate in the pharmacy and concentrate on practicing medicine among the people. If I enter the Imperial Medical Bureau, it will violate Master Sanzang's will and be disrespectful to the imperial certificate!"

When Wu Zetian saw the imperial edict, she immediately became serious.

She took the imperial edict, read it carefully, and then returned it to Huang Sixi, sighing softly: "It is better for you to have this edict in your hand than to be an official in the Imperial Medical Bureau. If I continue to appoint you as an official, it will not be a reward for you, but a hardship for you! Well, from now on, you will practice medicine according to the will of Master Sanzang!"

She took off a jade pendant from her waist and handed it to Huang Sixi: "I will give you a jade token. If you encounter any disputes while practicing medicine in the future, take out the jade token and it will help you solve the problem."

Her original intention was to give Huang Sixi a pass so that if a noble in the palace suffered from an emergency in the future, it would be more convenient for her to send someone to summon Huang Sixi.

After Huang Sixi accepted the jade token, Wu Zetian pointed at the old lady of Rongguo and said, "Will Dr. Huang not prescribe a medicine for the old lady?"

It is common sense to see a doctor and get medicine.

But Huang Sixi didn't treat illnesses with drugs. He replied, "I will come to give the old lady massage every day. After seven days of continuous treatment, the old lady will be cured! As for the medicine..."

Huang Sixi was not too particular. He took out another medicine bottle and pointed at it, saying, "You don't need to get another medicine for the old lady, because I have already refined the finished product. This pill is called 'Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pills', which is specially used to treat the old lady's chronic illness. Give the old lady one pill every other day, and I guarantee that the old lady will feel refreshed and healthy, better than before!"

The 'Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pills' originally had the medicinal effects of nourishing the mind and body, and prolonging life. For the old lady, it was a tonic, but as long as Huang Sixi himself didn't tell anyone, no one would know what the real medicinal effects were.

Since Huang Sixi has said that he will treat the old lady's illness, no one else would dare to eat it carelessly.

Wu Zetian took the medicine bottle, handed it to a maid beside her, and gave it to the old lady.

The old lady already knew that Huang Sixi had cured her illness, and she trusted him very much.

When she saw the maid coming, she reached out and grabbed the medicine bottle. After opening the bottle, she found that there were only three small pills in the bottle. She said to Huang Sixi, "My Godly Doctor, there are too few pills. I may not be cured after taking three. Please bring me three more so that I can keep them as a backup!"

Huang Sixi disagreed: "Madam, this kind of pill is difficult to make, and the herbs needed are not easy to collect. I only have three of them..." "What's the point of herbs? My son said that there is no herb that can't be found in the world!" The old lady interrupted: "The doctor brings the prescription and asks the medical officer to get the medicine, it's the same!"

When Wu Zetian heard this, she smiled and said to the old lady, "Mother, these pills were specially made by the divine doctor Huang. How can we let the medical officer make them casually? What if the medical officer makes a mistake and the medicine is ineffective? After you take the inferior medicine, not only will your stubborn illness not be cured, but it will get worse. What should we do then?"

"This……"

The old lady only thought that Huang Sixi's medicine was good, and she just wanted to get a batch to keep with her in case of emergency. However, she was not as cautious and far-sighted as Wu Zetian, so she said to Wu Zetian: "Why don't you send someone to collect medicinal materials and ask the doctor to make medicine?"

She naturally did not forget Huang Sixi's hard work, and said, "Where does the miracle doctor live? I just heard from him that he is a disciple of Master Sanzang. I want to offer a hundred thousand coins of incense to Sanzang Temple. I will go to burn incense as soon as I recover. Amitabha!"

Wait until the old lady is satisfied.

Wu Zetian then instructed Yuchi Zhenjin: "Yuchi Zhenjin, you will discuss with Divine Doctor Huang later to find out what the medicinal materials for the 'Nine Flower Jade Dew Pills' are. You will be responsible for collecting them and then sending them to Divine Doctor Huang's pharmacy to ask him to refine them."

Yuchi Zhenjin said: "I obey your order!"

He had just reached an agreement with Huang Sixi a few days ago. He would be responsible for collecting the medicinal materials for 'Black Jade Paste' and 'Heavenly Fragrance Paste', letting Huang Sixi refine them into medicine, and then they would share the profits in half.

He did not ask Huang Sixi for the prescription at that time, for the same reason that Wu Zetian had just said. These medicines were all secret recipes, and it was not safe to be used by outsiders. It would be safe only if Huang Sixi made them himself.

Huang Sixi naturally did not suffer any loss. After all, Huang Sixi did not need to invest any capital. He only needed to sit at home and get a steady supply of various rare and expensive medicinal materials. The cooperation between the two parties was a win-win situation.

After Wu Zetian arranged the medicine refining, she finally asked Huang Sixi: "Doctor Huang, do you have any difficulties? If so, please let me know. I have clear rewards and punishments. Since you saved the old lady, I will definitely reward you generously!"

Huang Sixi heard her say this and said, "Queen, I have a friend who is a musician. I wonder if he can change his status and become a civilian?"

He also knew that such words were not acceptable in public, but he possessed superior martial arts and did not need to have too many concerns. He could say anything he thought of. The worst result would be to anger Wu Zetian, but even if Wu Zetian sent a large army, they would not be able to capture him.

He can come and go freely in the divine world, so he doesn't have to worry about what to do.

"Musician?" Wu Zetian didn't understand at first: "Which musician?"

"She is a young lady from the Swallow Tower who is a musician." Huang Sixi said, "She seems to be under the care of the Taichang Temple!"

When Yuchi Zhenjin heard Huang Sixi mention Yanzi Tower, he hurriedly said, "Dr. Huang is talking about the official prostitute of the Taichang Temple. I can take care of it. The Queen doesn't need to worry about it!"

"Official prostitute?"

Wu Zetian smiled slightly and waved at the two of them: "Well, Yuchi Zhenjin, you go and do it!"

This is an eviction order.

Yuchi Zhenjin hurriedly pulled Huang Sixi out of the bedroom.

After leaving the Doctrine Square, Yuchi Zhenjin smiled bitterly and said, "Dr. Huang, the status of an official prostitute is so lowly, how could you trouble the Queen Mother with such a matter? You really can't even mention it! You cured the old lady with great difficulty and won the favor of the Queen Mother. This is such a great favor, but in the end, hey!"

Huang Sixi pursed his lips and thought, "Le Ji is also a commoner, what's so lowly about that? The emperor's favor is only useful to you high officials, I don't need it! I treat her mother's illness, and she redeems Yin Ruiji for me. This is a fair deal, what's wrong with that!"

He didn't say much, just asked Yuchi Zhenjin: "Master Yuchi, can you remove Lemin from the nationality?"

Yuchi Zhenjin asked back, "Is Lemin very important to Dr. Huang?"

Huang Sixi nodded: "I mentioned it before the Queen of Heaven, so naturally he is the person I care about the most."

Yuchi Zhenjin said, "Let's go to the Taichang Temple right now. I have an old acquaintance with Lord Wei, the Minister of the Taichang Temple. I can ask him to help me. Today, I can make Dr. Huang's wish come true."

Huang Sixi felt so relaxed when hearing him speak that he decided to go with him to the Taichang Temple. Unfortunately, the Minister of Taichang Temple was out on official business and would not return to the capital until the next day.

Yuchi Zhenjin asked Huang Sixi to go back to the pharmacy and wait for news. As soon as the Minister of Taichang Temple returned home, he would send someone to notify him immediately.

Huang Sixi thought that this matter was a sure thing. Yuchi Zhenjin just felt that the matter of decertification was not something that could be brought to light, and he was embarrassed to do it, but it was not that he was incapable. Since he had promised Huang Sixi, he would definitely be able to do it.

Who would have thought that the next day, Yuchi Zhenjin hurriedly found Huang Sixi and asked as soon as he opened the door: "Dr. Huang, does the musician friend you mentioned yesterday live in Yanzi Tower?"

Huang Sixi said: "Yes, it is indeed Yanzilou, is there any problem?"

Yuchi Zhenjin looked solemn: "Last night, a bloody incident occurred in Yanzi Tower. More than 20 people in the building were killed. This is the most serious murder case since I took office as the Minister of Dali Temple!"

Huang Sixi asked him sullenly, "Are there any survivors left?"

Yuchi Zhenjin held up two fingers and said, "There are only two survivors! One is called Ruiji, and the other is called Xianer."

Huang Sixi immediately said, "Where is the survivor? I want to go and see."

Yuchi Zhenjin signaled him to rush to Yanzi Tower: "The bodies of the victims and the survivors are all in Yanzi Tower, Doctor Huang, this is very strange. You were just about to remove the musicians from the register, and the bloody incident happened the next day. I'm afraid it has something to do with you."

Huang Sixi thought to himself, I have only been in Shendu for a few days. I have not made any enemies. Instead, I have saved many patients. Who would want to make things difficult for me?

At this moment, the Swallow Tower had been blocked by the yamen runners from the Dali Temple.

There were more than 20 corpses placed in the lobby. The two survivors, Yin Ruiji and Feng Xian'er, were kneeling beside the corpses. Yin Ruiji had dull eyes and looked sad, while Feng Xian'er was just sobbing.

Huang Sixi and Yuchi Zhenjin entered the lobby.

Feng Xian'er glanced at the two of them, and when she saw Huang Sixi, she immediately shouted, "It's him, he was the one who killed someone last night, quickly catch him! Murderer, murderer..."

Most of the yamen runners present knew Huang Sixi, and they immediately stepped forward and slapped Feng Xianer on the face, cursing, "This is Divine Doctor Huang. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll beat you with a stick!"

Feng Xian'er didn't care and continued to scream: "He is the murderer! Ruiji, please speak up. You saw him last night, why didn't you identify him!"
