Song Yi

Chapter 369 Deficiency Heat Syndrome

Du Wenhao pondered for a moment, ordered someone to call Zhang Zhixian, showed him the case file, and asked, "Where is the criminal now?"

Zhang Zhixian said: "My lord, the criminal is still in the cell of the Yamen in the lower county. He has not been sent to labor."

"The man sent someone to escort him, and the officer wants to review the case."

"Yes!" Zhang Zhixian hesitated for a moment, then took a peek at Du Wenhao, "My lord, is there any problem with this case...?"

Du Wenhao gave him a sideways glance: "Why, I mentioned some punishment, sir, do you have any doubts?"

Zhang Zhixian waved his hands in a panic: "No, no, Mr. Mentoring is responsible for all kinds of prisons. All cases can be reviewed. How dare a lowly official make judgments. It's just this..., this case..."

Du Wenhao frowned: "What happened to this case?"

"This case is reviewed by the magistrate."

Du Wenhao smiled lightly: "What Zhang Zhixian means is that if something goes wrong in the case, it has nothing to do with your county, right?"

"No, no!" Zhang Zhixian flustered his hands, his gray beard trembling, "I don't dare, I don't dare! I'll go and bring the criminal here, my lord, please wait."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhixian bowed and took a few steps back, then turned around, secretly wiped off a cold sweat, and hurried out.

It's not far from Leping County, and Zhang Zhi County is in a state of panic, so they come and go very quickly.Zhang Zhixian came to Du Wenhao's living room first, and bowed to report: "Your Majesty, the criminal has arrived."

"Bring it in!"

After the three jailers escorted the criminal into the house, the criminal, Dr. Xie, had been told that the criminal judge was going to interrogate him. He came in to meet Du Wenhao and sat in the middle, while Zhang Zhixian stood next to him with his head bowed. The old man, even though he looked a little too young, knelt down and kowtowed.

Du Wenhao asked slowly: "Miss Wang, the daughter of the Wang family, the squire of Xicun, are you the one who put him to death?"

"Yes! Ah no, no..." Dr. Xie kowtowed and said, "Although the disease was cured by the villain, the villain didn't do it on purpose."

"The verdict didn't say that you did it on purpose, otherwise, it wouldn't be a quack doctor pleading guilty to manslaughter, but you would be beheaded on the basis of intentional homicide!"

"Yes! However, my lord, the young one is really wronged. Miss Wang's illness is too strange, and the young one has little talent and learning. If I say it, I may not be able to cure it, but Mrs. Wang said that the previous two doctors were not cured. I heard that I The medical skills are not bad, but I forced the little one to be treated, so the little one dared to go down, but in the end..., the little one was wronged."

"Forcing you for medical treatment? Hey, did he beat you with a cane? Or tied you with a rope?"

"This..., this is not true, but he snotted and burst into tears, saying that if I refused to save his daughter, his daughter would not live, and his wife and concubine would kneel down and beg me, and took another ingot of silver as a gift." Thank you..."

"That's because you are greedy for money, and you prescribe medicine without your own strength, killing people's lives!"

Dr. Xie cried: "The younger one is greedy for money, but the girl's illness is already very critical. As the younger one said, it may not be cured. Don't blame me if it can't be cured. The old lady Wang also agreed, but it's true." After I was put to death, they sent me to the Yamen for punishment, how wronged I am!"

Du Wenhao said in a cold voice: "Don't be so busy complaining, listen to me and ask you! Miss Wang's fourth diagnosis, do you remember?"

"Remember!"

"tell me the story!"

"The former doctor was Dr. Li of Dongcun. According to him, at the first diagnosis, the pulse was thready, the pulse was more chaotic, the qi was reversed and sleepless, coughing and spitting sticky phlegm, five upset and hot, crimson tongue and dry throat. It was identified as fever. For the treatment, light scutellaria baicalensis, mung bean skin, licorice shoots, honeysuckle, forsythia, Poria cocos and other light and cooling solutions. After taking two doses, the previous symptoms did not decrease, but the headache and cough increased again. Dr. Nishimura Han still diagnosed the syndrome as heat He said that the dosage was not enough, so he slightly increased or decreased the compatibility of the previous doctor's prescription, and increased the dosage of the light and refreshing antidote. After taking two more doses, the symptoms not only did not decrease, but instead increased vomiting, and then he fell into a coma. That's why Mr. Wang Send someone to invite the villain."

Du Wenhao stared and listened carefully without interrupting his speech.

Dr. Xie looked gloomy, and continued: "The villain has arrived. After careful examination, he thinks that Miss Wang's body is yin deficiency, and yin deficiency causes heat. It is argued that it is a syndrome of deficiency heat. After taking the medicine, Miss Wang trembled all over, her lips turned purple, and her face was pale. , and then became dizzy and delirium, the yang energy was about to escape, and the villain hurriedly returned to the yang to save the evil, but unexpectedly, there was still no way to recover..."

Du Wenhao asked about the evidence and the compatibility of the medicine in detail, pondered for a moment, shook his head, and ordered him to be taken back to the Yamen for continued detention, and not to be sent to labor for the time being.

After the person was sent away, Master Shen asked: "My lord, is there any clue to this case?"

Du Wenhao smiled wryly: "This case is indeed a bit strange. If I can understand it just by hearing it, I will be a god. I still have to investigate this case in detail, and I will know where the problem is after I investigate it clearly."

"Well, what shall we do then?"

"Go and call Zhangzhi County, and ask him to send someone to invite the two doctors and the Wang family of the deceased. I want to verify them one by one."

----------------
At this moment, under the drizzle, Zhang Tianning stood beside Liao Guibing with a humble face, and whispered about Du Wenhao's re-examination of Dr. Xie's case.

Liao Guibing was expressionless, with his hands behind his back, holding two shiny pebbles in his palms, turning them back and forth. He stood like a stone statue by the side of the road, looking at the misty distant mountains, even Not even a blink of an eye.

Seeing Liao Guibing's stone Buddha-like appearance, Zhang Tianning didn't dare to say anything, and waited quietly.

After a while, Liao Guibing said slowly: "I have thought about it carefully, and there should be no problem with this case. If he wants to investigate, let him investigate!"

Zhang Tianning hurriedly stepped forward, lowered his voice and said, "The humble official is not worried about the case itself, the one surnamed Xie is let go, and the humble official is worried about the Wang family..."

Liao Guibing shook his body involuntarily, and nodded slowly: "Mmm..."

Seeing Liao Guibing's expression, Zhang Tianning knew that what he said was on point, and hurriedly continued: "If Mr. Ti Xing wants to review this case in detail, he will definitely ask the Wang family, how about..."

Liao Guibing said softly: "Prepare for a rainy day!"

Zhang Tianning understood immediately, bowed and said: "I understand." After a pause, he continued: "Lord Liao, according to what I saw, Mr. Ti Xing stares at beautiful girls all day long, and the women around me are more beautiful than the other. There are four wives at such a young age, otherwise, let's find some beautiful girls to send him off, and keep him happy..."

"No!" Liao Guibing said slowly: "I originally thought that the lord who was punished was just staying in the palace for a long time and wanted to come out for a while. From the things of the past few days, it seems that this young man is not simple. Let's not Self-defeating!"

Zhang Tianning said with a dry smile, "Yes!"

The two were talking, when they saw Master Shen coming out of the room from a distance, they hurriedly went up to meet him and bowed to salute: "What's the master's order?"

"Your Majesty has an order for the sentence. Please send someone to call the two doctors involved in the case of Dr. Xie and the family of the suffering master. Your Excellency has something to ask."

Liao Guibing took a look at Zhang Tianning: "Lord Magistrate, please send someone to invite him quickly."

Zhang Tianning rubbed his hands with a wry smile and said, "Oh, what a coincidence. After the case happened, those two doctors were afraid of taking responsibility, so they fled to other places and disappeared. After the tragic death of the Wang family's daughter, the Wang family had no intention of staying in the original place. So I sold the land and real estate, moved out of the county, and heard that I really want to go back to my ancestral home in the west of Beijing. I don’t know the exact location.”

Master Shen was slightly taken aback, nodded and said: "This is really a coincidence. The old man went back and replied to his lord. There is really no way to investigate this case carefully."

Master Shen cupped his hands and went back to the house.

Liao Guibing and Zhang Tianning looked at each other and smiled, and walked to the side of the road with their hands behind their backs, admiring the drizzled evening scenery again.

Early the next morning, Du Wenhao took his daughters to continue the tour.Liao Guibing and Zhang Tianning wanted to accompany them, but Du Wenhao politely declined.Zhang Tianning sent the two guards who accompanied him last time to follow.

It's very hot, since you want to enjoy the scenery, you can't take a sedan chair.Take a stroll.After walking for more than half an hour, Ke Yao felt tired again. He looked around, walked to the side and sat down on a stone under the shade of a tree, and took out a champagne to fan the wind.

Du Wenhao smiled and said, "What? Are you tired?"

"Of course, I've been climbing mountains and ridges these days, so it's no wonder I'm not tired."

The guard who followed patted his forehead, and said with a smile: "My lord, why don't you wait here with a few grandmas, and the younger ones go and bring the carriage. How about riding for a tour?"

Ke Yao clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay! Go, go!"

Xue Fei'er smiled wryly: "No way, it's already gone so far, you let them go back to lead the horse, how long will we have to wait?"

The guard repeatedly bowed his waist and said: "Just now we walked slowly, now the little one is running and coming back on horseback, very fast!"

Lin Qingdai smiled and said, "Riding on horseback? You won't be able to see a lot of scenery."

Ke Yao said: "I don't care, anyway, I can't walk anymore. ——Brother, let them go!"

Du Wenhao glanced at her pretty red face, smiled and said to the guard: "Okay, you guys go and lead the horses, we will wait for you at a slow pace."

"Okay, the little one will go right away, very soon."

Pang Yuqin said: "Don't worry, it's such a hot day, don't worry, be careful of heatstroke."

"Thank you ma'am, let's go now, little one!"

The two servants ran away, and soon disappeared.

Du Wenhao smiled and said to Ke Yao: "You can tell that you have ghosts when you blink your eyes. After all, what do you want to do by sending them away?"

Ke Yao stood up and patted his buttocks: "I don't like them following, as if they wanted to spy on us. This Jingjiang Mansion is weird. Let's come to a private visit with a WeChat server to find out what's going on, okay?"

Du Wenhao looked around at the girls: "What do you think?"

Xue Fei'er said: "Is there anything I can visit, if there is something to ask, just ask?"

"No!" Ke Yao said to Pang Yuqin: "If they are really good officials, they shouldn't let so many ordinary people live in dire straits, and dare not watch them sell their sons and daughters and their land!"

Lin Qingdai: "Yeah, I also find it strange that Mr. Liao follows us all day. It is impossible for us to understand the sufferings of the people."

Du Wenhao and Master Shen looked at each other and smiled, Master Shen said: "Grandmas, don't worry, your lord has already made up his mind."

"Really?" Ke Yao asked with a pretty face.

Du Wenhao smiled and waved his hands: "Let's go, wait while walking, haven't you seen how charming the scenery is?"

The group continued to walk forward.

Not long after, two guards came back on horseback, dragging a few horses behind them.

A guard named Zhao Si led the horse to Ke Yao, and said with a smile: "Miss Ke, come on, get on the horse!"

Ke Yao rolled his eyes at him: "Don't sit down!"

"Ah, isn't the girl tired?"

"I'm tired, but the girl doesn't want to sit, can't she?" As he said, he caught up with Du Wenhao with his hands behind his back, and continued to walk forward slowly.

The two servants, Monk Zhanger, couldn't figure it out, so they had to lead the horse and follow.

At this time, there was a rumbling thunder from the sky, the guard looked up, slammed his lips twice, and said with a happy face: "It seems to be raining."

Everyone walked slowly while admiring the scenery on both sides of the road. The sun was covered by dark clouds, and the weather suddenly became gloomy.

Ke Yao said to himself: "What's the point of raining in this damn weather!"

Zhao Si replied: "Miss, I don't know something. When the sky is sunny, we have a beautiful view of Yangdi. If it is rainy, then we can really witness the misty and rainy scenery of Yangdi."

Ke Yao nodded: "Is this elder brother a native of Jingjiang Mansion?"

Zhao Si smiled honestly, his small eyes narrowed into a slit, and said: "The young one is from Leping County, which is the county under the jurisdiction of Mr. Zhang, so he is very familiar with Yang Di."

Ke Yao asked casually: "Then the eldest brother is quite capable, and it is an honor for the family to be an errand in the county government?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Si smiled wryly and said: "To tell you the truth, the field is not easy to plant now, and I also entered the county government office after paying money to an acquaintance at the beginning of this year, ha ha."

Ke Yao saw that Zhao Si spoke cautiously, thought for a while, and smiled, "Brother, are you married yet?"

Zhao Si scratched his head and said with a smile, "It's done, he's a distant relative of mine."

Ke Yao put his hands behind his back and said in an old-fashioned way: "That's good, a man must first start a family and then start a career!"

Zhao Si: "Miss said yes——my woman's surname is Ke."

Ke Yao looked very surprised and said, "Really, so you may not be related to me?"

Zhao Si: "How could it be possible to be related to you? You are the lady of a rich family who landed with a golden key in her mouth."

Ke Yao smiled: "As the saying goes: The emperor has two poor relatives, not to mention that I am not a lady from a rich family, just like my brother, I am a homeless person who wanders the world."

Zhao Si hurriedly said: "Miss is joking."

Ke Yao asked again: "Is your wife pregnant?"

Zhao Si nodded twice: "Yes, it will be born this winter, and I have already thought of a name. It is called Dongsheng."

"Not bad." Ke Yao thought for a while, and took out an exquisite pendant from his waist purse. It was a smiling Jade Buddha. Although it was small, it looked well made, and handed the pendant to Zhao Si.

Zhao Si was taken aback for a moment: "Miss, is this?"

Ke Yao raised his hand: "Take it."

Zhao Si looked at Du Wenhao timidly, and Du Wenhao smiled and said, "You can take it if I give it to you. This is her kindness."

Ke Yao said: "That's right, take it, I have the same surname as your wife, there are not many people with the surname Ke in the world, and it's rare for me to give something to someone. If you don't want it, you just dislike me... ..."

After hearing this, Zhao Si quickly took it and bowed deeply to Ke Yao: "Thank you, miss, that villain will accept it."

Ke Yao was happy: "That's right, I'll be happy if I accept it."

Zhao Si carefully put the pendant in his arms, and then said to Ke Yao: "Miss is so young and beautiful, Master Du will definitely tell Miss a very good marriage."

Pang Yuqin snickered, but Ke Yao said indifferently, "I don't want to get married. If anyone of them dares to propose marriage to me, I'll be in a hurry with them."

Everyone laughed, and said without accepting the money: "Miss Ke Yao is just too high-minded. In fact, if you marry when you are young, you can become a mother earlier."

Everyone knew that the money was not collected to tease Ke Yao, and Ke Yao was really annoyed, stomping his feet and complaining: "Just make fun of him, be careful, I'm getting angry, and I will take revenge on you."

Qian Bu Shou stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "At my age, I'm really not afraid of the girl's revenge."

Ke Yao: "I sold you out like the ordinary people I saw a few days ago."

Pang Yuqin smiled and said, "Look at you, you don't have anything good to say after a few words. How can you talk to Uncle Qian like this?"

Qian Bushou laughed and said: "Old man is old and weak, can eat but can't move, what do people buy it for? Be a Bodhisattva offering? Hehehe"

Ke Yao glared at him, then turned around and asked Zhao Sidao: "Hey! Brother Zhao, tell me, at his age, how much money can he sell in your Jingjiang Mansion?"

Zhao Si smiled and said: "Our Jingjiang Mansion...has no one who sells people."

"No way!" Ke Yao said with a surprised face: "A few days ago, we saw someone selling a girl, but unfortunately we already have a lot of people, so it's inconvenient to bring it. By the way, brother, why don't I buy it for you?" Are you serving your wife?"

Zhao Si hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Miss, you can't take this joke. My father said that this is not good. Although life is hard these days, you can't do such unconscionable things."

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "I can't tell that Zhao Si is still a kind-hearted person."

Zhao Si smiled foolishly and said, "Thank you for your compliment, master."

Ke Yao asked again: "Do you sell children or daughters in Leping County?"

Zhao Si hesitated for a moment, and said, "Young one..., I really didn't see it."

In the evening, they returned to their residence.

At this time, there was still light rain in the sky.Dinner is arranged to have a farm meal in a farmhouse.
Liao Guibing personally held a red bamboo umbrella for Du Wenhao, most of the umbrella was covered by Du Wenhao, his shoulders and head were soaked, but Du Wenhao didn't seem to know, pointing to the yard in front of him and said to Liao Guibing: "Master Liao, what kind of place is this?"

Liao Guibing explained: "This is a small inn built by a farmer in Yangdi. The inn in Yangdi is different from other places. Most of the inns are expanded by local people on the spot on the spot. There are no guests on weekdays. Sometimes you can live by yourself, but don’t worry, Mrs. Du, the inn has a front yard and a back yard, we have checked the safety, don’t worry.”

Ke Yao smiled and said, "On the way, my brother still praised you, so he has nothing to worry about when Mr. Liao handles affairs."

Liao Guibing twitched his brows, shook off the rain, bowed to accompany him with a smile, and said, "I haven't done enough in humble jobs."

The two walked slowly to the eaves. Du Wenhao then turned his head, as if he had just seen it, and said in surprise: "Oh, Mr. Liao, you gave me the umbrella to protect me from the rain? Look at yourself, you got wet all over your head. Your shoulders are all wet!"

"It's okay, it's okay! Hehe, the humble job is feeling very hot, let's relieve the heat, hehehe"
