A powerful minister of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 179 He Will Never Save
How could the life-saving straw that the Gu family had finally grasped fail?

When Zhang Kang heard Yi Jun say this, he also understood that Gu Zimo had sent people to Song Xuan's house to set fire and kill people.

How could Song Xuan save him?
The old lady asked quickly:
"My son is in critical condition. How can I refuse the young doctor's help?"

Judge Yi Jun said patiently:
"Madam, I suspect that Song Xuan hired someone to kill Gu Tongpan. How can we allow him to treat Gu Tongpan?"

"what?"

Yi Jun's words surprised everyone present.

"Judge Yi, you can't talk nonsense without any evidence."

Zhang Kang immediately defended Song Xuan. He was a child prodigy. Although he was very skilled, he would not give up his bright future just to vent his anger!

Especially since Song Xuan has been taking part in the examinations all the time, how could he have the time to do something like this?

"That's right." Doctor Wang also shook his head repeatedly:
"If you want to cure Gu Tongpan, I have no way to do it. Song Twelve has medical skills and knowledge, so maybe he can help."

"I don't believe that Song Twelve hired someone to kill my husband."

As soon as Mrs. Gu spoke, the old lady nodded as well.

The young man looked kind-hearted, and his eldest son had no grudge against him, so how could he kill someone?
It’s simply unbelievable!
"Old Madam, you should know that Hanlin scholar Dou Yuanbin died because of Song Xuan. Your son was a student of the former Hanlin scholar Dou Yuanbin. To avenge his teacher, the student sent someone to kill Song Xuan. In retaliation, Song Xuan could also hire someone to kill someone!"

Yi Jun's words silenced everyone again.

Because what he said was too absurd.

"impossible!"

The first to refute was the old lady of the Gu family. She didn't believe that her son could do such a thing.

"Yes, please don't frame my son."

Gu Zimo's father also joined in, poking his crutch and saying:
"Someone, quickly invite Song Xuan to treat my son."

In order to avoid going to Lingnan to eat insects, Yi Jun was convinced that Song Xuan was the real culprit behind the incident.

And the analysis makes sense both emotionally and logically.

"I've already put him in jail, so he can't come."

Zhang Kang's face was full of questions.

No, man.

You arrest people without any evidence?
"Judge Yi, have you found any evidence?"

Yi Jun said with his hands behind his back, "There is no evidence at the moment, but as long as Judge Gu wakes up, he will be able to identify Song Xuan."

Zhang Kang: ???
Doctor Wang: ???

Do you want to listen to what you just said?

"At present, if we want to wake up Gu Tongpan, we have to ask Song Xuan for advice. Otherwise, Gu Tongpan can only wait for death."

Yi Jun fell into silence all of a sudden.

"Divine Doctor Wang, are you really out of ideas?"

Doctor Wang stroked his beard and shook his head:

"My medical skills are not good. I just had no choice but to think of Mr. Song's method. If he couldn't do anything, then Judge Gu would obviously not survive."

"But if what the Yipan officials said is true, I'm afraid Song Xiaoyou won't help."

"Because no matter whether he can be saved or not, the blame will be placed on Song Xiaoyou. It was I who dragged him into this."

Doctor Wang said to Gu Zimo's parents:
"It's better to prepare the coffin early. The weather is so hot that it's hard to preserve the body."

Wow.

Gu Zimo's mother burst into tears.

She knelt on the ground and begged Dr. Wang for help.

Doctor Wang has long been accustomed to life and death, and is not particularly embarrassed by separations and deaths.

"We use the most expensive medicine, no matter how much it costs."

"As long as it can save my son."

Doctor Wang called his apprentice over. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to save the patient, but the situation was simply too difficult.

If the knife is pulled out and so much blood is shed, the person will die.

The amount of blood in the human body is limited, unlike water, which can be replenished by drinking water.

Yi Jun has been struggling with the idea that if Pan Gu wakes up and says that Song Xuan was the one who assassinated him, then the case will be a done deal.

I would not go to Lingnan to eat insects, and Gu Tongpan's revenge would also be avenged.

"Divine Doctor Wang, does Song Xuan really have a solution?"

"I just suggested that Shi Erlang has a master with relatively high attainments in medical skills, but Shi Erlang doesn't know how much of his skills he inherited. Since Gu Tongpan's injuries are already fatal, we can only try our best to save him."

"If he can't do anything about Song Twelve, then it's useless. Moreover, because of the assassination of Gu Tongpan, Judge Yi threw Song Twelve into prison without any reason. This matter will not end well no matter what."

Doctor Wang has a deep understanding of this group of officials.

If the disease is cured, maybe I can owe you a favor, but if it is not cured, you can just wait for revenge.

Wang Congyi, the son of the current prime minister, has been seeking medical treatment in Songcheng, hoping that Doctor Wang can save his life.

But a complete cure is almost impossible.

It was just a matter of whether Wang Congyi died before or after Wang Qinruo.

Even Doctor Wang felt that Wang Congyi might die before his father.

Regarding this matter, Doctor Wang has already said everything:
"Even if Hua Tuo were alive today, he might not be able to cure it."

"Go and invite Young Master Song."

The old lady made up her mind that even if there was a one in ten thousand chance of success, she would grab that life-saving straw.

"Old man, you stay here and look after our son. Shishi, let's go and ask for help."

Madam Gu then looked at Yi Jun:
"I hope Judge Yi can lead the way and resolve the misunderstanding with Song Twelve before he can cure my son."

Doctor Wang also decided to go with them. After all, he was eager to save people and suddenly grasped a point, but he didn't expect that this would push Song Xuan to the forefront.

So everyone rushed to the county government office in a mighty procession.

County prison.

The jailer Li Kun was guarding outside.

The prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, Yan Shu, and Cao Liyong were sitting inside, while Song Xuan was leaning on the bed to rest.

Gao Zunfu and his men from the Imperial City Division were lying on the roof and eavesdropping.

After all, Song Shier was suddenly thrown into prison, and an official was assassinated in the street.

No matter what, the Imperial City Bureau must get to the bottom of this matter.

"Shi Er Lang, you really didn't do this?"

"Even if I did it, there's no evidence, not to mention it wasn't me who did it."

Song Xuan leaned against the quilt, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan:
"Mr. Yan, I've just realized that it's useless to be familiar with Song Dynasty laws."

"You are a nobody. The Song officials can throw you in jail if they want. It's just a trumped-up charge."

Yan Shu certainly knew that Song Xuan was familiar with the Song Dynasty laws in order to walk on the edge of the laws, and not to ensure the correct implementation of the laws.

"No need to complain."

Yan Shu looked at Song Xuan, who looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
"I know you're not so bold as to hire someone to kill an official in public."

"You have to take your final exam tomorrow, why are you so angry?"

"Hey." Song Xuan sat up suddenly: "Mr. Yan, you can't say that to me."

"That judge in Yingtian Prefecture, Yi Jun, must have been showing off his authority to protect his own position. He wrote me an arrest warrant on the spot and even stamped it with his official seal."

"If I don't follow him here obediently, wouldn't that be an even greater sin, and give him something to accuse me of?"

Cao Liyong was actually frowning as he listened to this.

Not to mention that Song Xuan is not guilty, Yi Jun's behavior alone is extremely inappropriate.

There is no evidence at all. Even if we ask questions, we cannot issue an arrest warrant. There must be solid evidence.

"Shi Erlang, have you saved the arrest warrant?"

"Of course." Song Xuan chuckled.
"Judge Yi is so powerful! I'm bound to go to Tokyo to file a complaint. Anyway, the results won't be out for ten days after the exam, so I can go to Tokyo for a walk. It's more than enough time."

Yan Shu looked embarrassed.

Because such a big thing happened in Yingtian Prefecture, he, as the chief officer, cannot escape blame.

"It's just right for you to take a stroll with me to Tokyo and take you to see Fanlou."

Cao Liyong chuckled and decided to let his daughter take a look at him first. If she didn't like Song Xuan, then so be it.

If you like her, you have to talk about her future treatment.

"I've heard Tokyo is a place of wealth and glamour, and I've been thinking of going there for a stroll when I take the provincial exam. It would be nice to go and see it as soon as possible."

Song Xuan naturally did not let the words fall.

"That's enough." Yan Shu sighed.

"Let's see how you do on the exam tomorrow." "You handed in your paper early. From what I can see, it's going to be hard for you to get the top spot."

Song Xuan nodded. He knew that his answers were not perfect.

Cao Liyong sighed, "What a pity."

"Gu Zimo was seriously injured. Can he still survive?"

"How should I know?" Song Xuan fanned himself.

"But a knife wound to the chest would probably injure the lungs. It would be difficult to treat and more likely to cause death from blood loss."

"You do know a lot."

Doubt appeared in Yan Shu's eyes again: "Is it really not you who did it?"

"Why can't Mr. Yan suspect that it was the Dou family who murdered and silenced the witnesses, and throw the dirty water on me?"

Song Xuan waved his finger and said, "Perhaps Yi Jun had already accepted benefits from the Dou family. Otherwise, why would he be so eager to sentence me to death?"

It wasn't that Yan Shu didn't believe what Song Xuan said, but he felt that Song Xuan had deliberately deleted what he had told him.

It's not the whole picture, but a part of the process that is beneficial to him.

Before Cao Liyong could ask, someone poked his head out:
"Is what Shi Er Lang just said true?"

Song Xuan looked at Mrs. Gu helping her mother-in-law into the house and was a little confused for a moment.

Yan Shu took the opportunity to express his sympathy and asked about Gu Zimo's condition.

"Divine Doctor Wang said that only Shi Er Lang might have a solution."

"Fuck."

Song Xuan couldn't help but swear, and he fulfilled his promise and asked Wang Xiuyong to give his father a crude microscope so that he could observe some small creatures in the water.

As a result, she pushed herself to the front so easily?
"I can't help it."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Song Xuan immediately explained:

"I've been studying diligently these past few years, but I haven't fully grasped the medical knowledge my master has taught me. I only know the basics. I used this little skill to brag to Doctor Wang, and he took note of me."

Madam Gu quickly stepped forward and asked, "Shi Er Lang, is there really no other solution?"

"Sister-in-law, even if Judge Yi falsely accuses me of being the real murderer behind the assassination of Judge Gu, so what?"

"What is pure will become clear by itself, and what is turbid will become turbid by itself."

Judge Yi Jun, who was standing aside, did not dare to say anything. At this moment, he noticed that Yan Shu's face looked very bad.

But as long as Song Xuan agreed to save Gu Tongpan, even if he could only stay awake for a while, he would follow his own words and say that the murderer was Song Xuan.

Gao Zunfu really didn't expect that so many people would come looking for Song Xuan.

He lay there and didn't dare to move, mainly because there were so many people around, and he had more eyes and ears, so he could naturally discover anything.

"Shi Er Lang, I believe you."

Mrs. Gu noticed that her tone was a little anxious, and quickly pointed at her mother-in-law: "Our whole family believes in you. We beg Twelve Lang to help save my husband."

"So that my sister-in-law can know."

Song Xuan sighed, "This kind of deep lung injury would be difficult to treat even if Hua Tuo were still alive. If I pull out that knife, it would only make Judge Gu die faster."

"This is why Divine Doctor Wang is having such a hard time. If you don't remove the wound, it will just bleed slowly and last for a few hours. But if you do, you might not even survive for a moment."

"It's not that I don't want to save him, but he's really difficult to treat."

"Then can we feed blood to Judge Gu?"

Listening to Yan Shu's sincere question, Song Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes at him:
"Mr. Yan, do you think this is like eating duck blood in a hot pot?"

"Blood goes from the mouth into the stomach and eventually turns into feces and is excreted from the body. It can only return to the body by entering through the veins here in the arm."

Yan Shu glanced at Song Xuan again.

He just asked stupid questions on purpose to test whether Song Xuan had any solution.

As a result, his explanation further confirmed that Song Xuan really had a way.

I just don't want to save.

It seems that Song Twelve's house was set on fire, and this incident is closely related to Gu Zimo.

Gu Zimo's behavior was different before and after seeing Song Xuan in the examination room today.

That must be a guilty conscience.

Yan Shu immediately understood the idea, since Gu Zimo was not assassinated by Song Xuan.

Is it true, as Song Xuan said, that it was the Dou family who did it?
Because the murder plan of burning Song Xuan to death failed and Song Xuan had the evidence, the Dou family wanted to cut off the clues and keep the secret.

That Gu Zimo is a dead man, which is the best way to keep the secret.

After hearing what Song Xuan said, Mrs. Gu also asked:

"Will a blood transfusion from his arm keep my son safe?"

"of course not."

Song Xuan thought about it and decided to let them give up. Anyway, he would not get involved in this mess.

Once it gets mixed in, it will be like yellow mud falling on your crotch.

"Only by transfusing the right blood can the patient be cured. Otherwise, there is no hope of recovery."

"What do you mean?"

Song Xuan said briefly, "Even if it's a blood transfusion, not everyone can receive it. If you receive the wrong blood, you will die."

"Donate my blood." Madam Gu stretched out her arm.

"I've lived enough anyway. The most important thing is for my son to survive."

Because in their view, drawing blood is like drawing life, taking their own life and giving it to their son.

Song Xuan was speechless:

"My master taught me that even children born from two parents may have a different blood type than their parents. Some have a combination of their parents' blood types, some have the same blood type as their parents, and some have a completely new blood type."

"This is a very complicated matter, and it can't be solved simply by whether they are biologically related or not."

"By the way." Song Xuan looked around at everyone and said:

"Blood test cannot be used as evidence to prove biological children. For example, the blood of Lord Yan and me, or mine and Minister Cao, or even Lord Yan and Minister Cao, may be able to mix together, but this does not prove that we are related by blood."

These words made Cao Liyong and Yan Shu's eyes widen. They had never heard of such medical knowledge.

The key point is that blood test to identify relatives is extremely normal.

On the contrary, Mrs. Gu felt relieved immediately after hearing what Song Xuan said.

If I successfully conceive, will I not be able to prove that I am not Gu Zimo's child even if I use blood test in the future?

Mrs. Gu even felt that Song Xuan was talking to her!
Doctor Wang pinched his beard and said, "What Twelve Lang said makes some sense, but we need to conduct experiments with many people's blood to prove it."

"Putting alum in the water for blood paternity will allow the blood of those who are not related to each other to mix. If you wipe the bowl with vinegar first, even the blood of a father and son will not mix."

Doctor Wang's explanation made Yan Shu feel that Song Xuan was not talking nonsense.

Everyone was led to another place by Song Xuan's lively conversation.

Or perhaps he was completely immersed in the blood test to identify his kinship, and had obviously forgotten about the matter of judging Gu Tong's condition.

"I hope the young master can save my son."

Old Madam Gu didn't care about that. She had to grab the last straw and knelt down directly to Song Xuan.

"Madam, Judge Gu's lung has been punctured. If we want to stop the bleeding, we must suture the wound. The wound inside the lung must be sealed, and the wound on the skin must also be sealed."

"Not to mention that no one knows how to sew, blood type matching is also difficult to succeed. I really don't have any skills!"

"Is it true that Shi Er Lang cannot sew?" Yan Shu also asked for the basis.

"It can't be sewed up." Song Xuan stretched out his hands and said:

"No matter how clean we wash our hands, there will always be some germs left behind. Even if the wound is stitched, it will become infected and fester, eventually leading to fever and death."

Doctor Wang nodded regretfully: "Indeed, there are both external and internal injuries, and they cannot be cured by herbal medicine."

Judge Yi Jun immediately spoke:

"Prime Minister Yan, it was Song Xuan who assassinated Judge Gu. How could he have saved Judge Gu?"

"After saying so much, he just feels guilty!"

Song Xuan glanced at Yi Jun who jumped out and snorted:
"Judge Yi is so eager to convict me, is he really accepting bribes from someone behind the scenes?"

"Song Xuan, you are so bold! You actually dare to frame me, an official appointed by the imperial court!"

Yi Jun immediately stretched out his hand and scolded.

However, Yan Shu felt that something was wrong with Yi Jun. He usually did not do much and always pushed all the work to Zhang Kang. So why was he so obsessed with solving the case today?
And Song Xuan’s guilt must be determined!

I'm afraid there is something behind it?

Yan Shu did not say anything to stop him, but waited for Yi Jun's performance.

Yi Jun immediately looked at Gu Zimo's family members:
"Madam Gu, Song Xuan is the mastermind behind the murder of Judge Gu. No matter how much you beg him, he will never save Judge Gu."

"Now that he sees your pleading expressions, I'm sure he must be bursting with joy!"
