Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 578 Wu Meiniang's "Sudden Death"

Gao Wanquan was angry in the mansion and had nowhere to vent it. When the man in black complained, he rolled his eyes and reprimanded him, "I can't bear this bit of suffering, how can I become a great weapon?"

The man in black heyed, and said: "Okay, I don't complain. You, Mr. Gao, are a man who can become a big weapon, and I am just a cheapskate. If you are the moon in the sky, then I am a little star. You It’s a big iron pot for cooking meat, so I’m just a small wine cup!”

This man in black is very street-like, with a thin tongue.He is a small school in Wu Wangfu, and he is one of the "capable men and strangers" collected by Li Ke.If Li Ke wanted to achieve a great cause, he naturally needed to find some competent subordinates, but how could a truly powerful person follow him?Those who put into his house are second-rate, third-rate, or even fourth-rate or fifth-rate goods.

This man in black used to be a local ruffian, and he used to do things like knocking people down and bullying foreign merchants, but he claimed to be a Qingxia, and sneaked into Wu Wang's mansion to eat.Li Ke sent him here to cooperate with Gao Wanquan, to be a go-between and tip-off.

Gao Wanquan waved his hand impatiently, like chasing away flies, he said: "Don't be so talkative, I have something serious to tell you, you have to go back and report to the lord."

The man in black's eyes lit up, and said: "Mr. Gao is amazing, it's only the first day, and you've found out something serious?"

Gao Wanquan snorted, and said: "Wang Ping'an went back to the mansion and grabbed a lot of medicinal materials. There are more than 100 herbs. I wrote down the names of the most important ones among them. Listen carefully." Say the name of the medicine you remember.

The man in black was listening and memorizing, when suddenly he heard Datura flowers and said in surprise: "Eight taels of Datura flowers? Why does Wang Pingan need so much poison?"

Gao Wanquan was taken aback, and wondered, "Poison? Is this datura flower poison?"

The man in black nodded heavily, and said, "Of course it's poison. With this medicine, you can make sweat and fire, and you can't add too much. If you add too much, you will die."

"Sweat fire? What is that?" Gao Wanquan asked, he didn't know much about the affairs in Jianghu.

The man in black snorted, and said: "It's sweat medicine. Just pick a little bit with your fingernails and put it in the wine, it can turn over a big hemp. If you take too much, it will kill you." He showed his little finger and made a gesture.

Gao Wanquan's eyes rolled wildly, and he thought: "I said this matter is so evil, what kind of prescription can have more than 100 herbs, and the amount of mandala flowers is so large. It turns out that Wang Ping'an is preparing to kill people." poison!"

He asked: "Is this kind of poison allowed to be sold in the pharmacy?"

The man in black said with a smile: "If you talk about poison, it is called poison if you use it too much. If you use it in the right amount, it is a good medicine. Naturally, it is allowed to sell. When I was in the market, I met merchants with a lot of money... ...That's all in the past, don't mention it!"

Gao Wanquan was ecstatic in his heart, and he said: "You quickly report back to the prince, just say that Wang Ping'an is preparing poison, and ask the prince to send someone to the pharmacy to find out what prescription he used, write it down, it will definitely be used in the future!"

The man in black said: "Okay, then I will go back, Mr. Gao, you are in the tiger's den, you have to be careful, especially now that you are a housekeeper, and you are by Wang Ping'an's side all day long, his tiger butt, you Don't touch it, be careful that he bites you!"

Gao Wanquan said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!"

Then the man in black turned and left, disappearing into the night.

Gao Wanquan took a long breath and let it out slowly. The cold air refreshed him.He thought to himself: "I didn't come here in vain. I found out Wang Ping'an's secret. It is estimated that this secret is probably related to Li Zhi. Poison, who do they want to kill? Could it be that Li Zhi, like Li Chengqian, wants to Doing that insane thing, usurping the throne and seizing power, they want to kill the king?"

When he thinks of usurping the throne and killing the king, Gao Wanquan feels so comfortable all over his body. He must let them succeed. As long as they do something evil that both people and gods are angry with, as long as His Highness King Wu pierces them, and then raises his arms, the world will be the King of Wu That's it, and I... Zhongshu Sheng or Shangshu Sheng, which one should I choose?

Overjoyed, Gao Wanquan entered the side door, went back to his room to sleep, and dreamed of being a prime minister!

Ouyang Li carried the medicine bag and went to Wang Ping'an's room.Wang Pingan opened the medicine bag and picked out several medicines, among which were datura flowers. He said, "Go find the equipment for decocting medicines. I want to decoct medicines. You stand guard outside the door and don't allow anyone to approach."

Ouyang Li agreed, thought for a while, and said, "Master, I thought you were going to cook ordinary medicine, so when I came back, I put the medicine in the kitchen. I didn't expect you to cook special medicine. I went to get the medicine just now. At that time, I found out that the silly old man, Gao Wanquan who couldn't be a housekeeper, was flipping through the medicines, and he seemed to be still memorizing the names of the medicines. He couldn't be trying to steal the master's prescriptions."

Wang Pingan frowned, thought for a while, and said: "You should pay more attention to this person in the future. As for the prescription, there is no prescription at all. I brought so many medicines back so that people can't guess what medicine I want to cook. of."

Ouyang Li was relieved now, turned around and went out to prepare the utensils for decoction.

Wang Pingan picked out the medicine, weighed it and put it together. When Ouyang Li brought the utensils, he closed the door and decocted the medicine in the room.The medicine he prepared was a mild anesthetic, it was for Wu Meiniang tomorrow, the dose was not large, it would not harm the body, it just made Wu Meiniang unconscious after taking the medicine, it looked very serious on the outside.

After a while, he decocted the medicine, and when the medicine was cold, he took out a small porcelain bottle, poured some into it, and put the small bottle away for future use.He took the remaining medicine out of the house and poured it into the bushes at the base of the wall.

Ouyang Li watched from the side and asked, "Master, who is this medicine for?"

No matter how confidential things are, someone has to carry them out. It is meaningless to keep secrets from the person who carries them out, and there is no way to keep a secret!

Wang Pingan said: "Let's talk about it later, you take this medicine pot and wash it clean, burn the medicine residue, and the pile of medicine inside, take it and burn it, don't let people find it, don't leave it behind." Any trace, understand?"

Ouyang Li nodded quickly, and said, "Understood, this is easy to handle, master don't worry."

Wang Pingan said again: "After finishing, call all the brothers to my room. I have something important to tell you. Except for you, I am not allowed to talk to anyone. Do you understand?"

"Understand, understand, all the subordinates understand!" Ouyang Li agreed repeatedly, took the medicine pot, went into the room, took out the medicine bag, and left the yard.

Wang Pingan went back to the house and waited. After a while, Ouyang Li came back, and all the Ouyang brothers came.Wang Pingan didn't tell all the things, but bypassed the important point, only explaining that a woman will be taken out of the palace tomorrow and arranged for her.

The Ouyang brothers were all surprised, they didn't expect Wang Pingan to do such a thing, but they didn't ask too much, they could do whatever Wang Pingan ordered.For Brother Ouyang, who was originally a robber, this kind of thing is too trivial, but the identity of that person is a bit special.

Wang Pingan said: "After you get her out, you should find a place to put her right away. Near the Ganye Temple, there is a horse farm in Hamidi, which is very remote, so just hide her there first." , as long as you hide for a month is enough, I will arrange the follow-up matters at that time."

Ouyang Li said: "Master, don't worry about such a small matter. It's just that there are so many women in the world, why is the master only interested in court ladies? Could it be that she is as beautiful as a flower?"

The Ouyang brothers shook their heads together. They all thought that Wang Ping'an often went in and out of the palace, fell in love with a certain maid, and was really moved, so they came up with such a way to get her out of the palace.But after all, it's just a woman, why bother to have a palace lady, could it be that the women in the palace are extraordinarily beautiful?Not necessarily, blowing out the light and going to bed, they all look the same.

Wang Pingan waved his hand and said, "It's not that I have a crush on her. If I have a crush on someone, I don't need to spend so much trouble. You just do things, don't ask if there are too many, and you will understand later."

Sure enough, the Ouyang brothers stopped asking, they really didn't have much interest in who their master liked, in their eyes, women were just women, there were differences when they wore clothes, and they were all the same when they weren't wearing them!

Wang Pingan asked them to prepare while he went to bed to rest.

Early the next morning, Wang Pingan got up, first went to greet his parents, had breakfast with them, and then went back to his room to wait. It was mid-sun, when Ouyang Li came back and told him that everything was ready.

Only then did Wang Pingan get dressed and planned to go out to the East Palace. On the way out, Ouyang Li brought the white dragon horse for him.

Ouyang Li said: "If you're busy, I think the master is not as busy as Xiao Di. After he came back yesterday, he didn't sleep for a long time, and ran out again before dawn. He said he was visiting friends, but he didn't know why he was so busy."

Wang Pingan said: "How could he find this place by himself? Ah, he went back to the Inspiration Temple first, Master Xuanzang told him."

Ouyang Li went to the street with him, and said again: "That man named Gao Wanquan, the more I look at him, the more awkward he becomes. I always feel that he doesn't look like a servant. He is very airy, and he always smiles without smiling. Just now when I went to lead the horse, he actually asked my master where he was going, which is not what a groom should ask!"

Wang Pingan thought for a while, and said, "It's possible that someone sent them into our mansion. Hamidi was confused and didn't see any flaws."

Ouyang Li said strangely: "Our mansion... ah, what happened today? Is it because of this?"

Wang Pingan shook his head with a smile, and said: "No. It may be sent by some minister. You think, I am a close minister of the prince, and I know the prince's preferences, and they can know the prince's movements or preferences in advance from me. , then follow the prince's wishes, wouldn't it be quicker to get promoted?"

Ouyang Li made a sound, and said: "I see, this is indeed a shortcut to promotion." He thought for a while, and then said: "Then this is easy, don't pay attention to what he does, just pay attention to what he will do with people outside the house." If you keep in touch with people often, and then follow the people outside the house, you can find out who sent him, it's very simple!"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "It's not difficult at all. That Gao Wanquan doesn't look like a spy, he showed his feet too quickly!"

The two of them talked and came to the East Palace. Wang Ping'an dismounted and entered the palace, and went straight to the Chongxian Hall, where Li Zhi had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Wang Ping'an's arrival, Li Zhi immediately dismissed the palace leavers, took Wang Ping'an's hand, and said, "You're not sick..."

Wang Pingan sighed in his heart, you know this sentence too!He nodded and said: "It's all arranged, Your Highness is relieved." He took out the small porcelain bottle from his bosom, and said, "Just give this to Wu Meiniang, and then I'll make a diagnosis, and everything will be fine."

Li Zhi said: "Then, call Meiniang, or else I'll just send this medicine to her?" He didn't dare to send anyone else, so he tried his best to hide it, but Shi Aiguo already knew about it.

Wang Pingan smiled and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. Just ask Director Shi to send it to Wu Meiniang, and let him tell Meiniang that you want to pick the best peonies and transplant them into the Chongxian Hall. If she can't pick the peonies well, then She must be severely punished!"

Li Zhi snorted, and said, "Let Aiguo go? This, this, this is not right!"

Wang Ping'an said: "Yes, very appropriate. Director Shi is a smart person. As soon as you let him do this, he will understand what's going on, and he will definitely keep his mouth shut tighter than anyone else in the future. I will bring this up!" As long as Shi Aiguo is dragged into the water, his brother is guaranteed to ask him about it, and he will not dare to speak out.

Li Zhi said: "That's fine, but why do you want to scare Meiniang and say that you will punish her severely?"

Wang Pingan exclaimed, and said: "She can't handle the errands well, and she is afraid of being punished, so she is in a hurry, so it's bad! And this matter is only because of you. Once something happened to Meiniang, you treated the palace people generously, so you sent a minister Go and have a look, and then... it's a matter outside the palace!" He briefly explained the plan to Li Zhi.

After hearing this, Li Zhi sighed, and said: "That's the only way!" He called Shi Aiguo, and asked Shi Aiguo to inform Wu Meiniang about the peony transplant, and gave Shi Aiguo the small porcelain bottle.

Shi Aiguo left the Chongxian Hall sadly and went to the Lixia Hall, feeling sad in his heart.He thought that the small porcelain bottle contained a poisonous drug, and thought that Li Zhi was going to kill people to silence him, but if Wu Meiniang's mouth can be silenced today, his mouth will be wiped out by Director Shi in the future, and it is probably not far away!
Li Zhi and Wang Ping'an waited in the hall for a long time before Shi Aiguo came back.

Shi Aiguo said: "Your Highness, I have done everything you ordered this old slave to do!"

Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "If it's done, that's good, that's good."

Seeing Shi Aiguo's miserable expression, Wang Pingan hurriedly said, "Boss Shi, from now on, you have to take care of the matters in the East Palace and share your worries with His Highness!"

Li Zhi also said: "Yes, patriotism, you can help Gu. Although the East Palace is big, the only person Gu can really trust is you!"

Shi Aiguo thought to himself: "Hey, isn't this trying to kill me? Maybe it will take a long time to kill me! As long as I have enough time, then I will take good care of me in the future, maybe I won't kill me. Everyone has to have a confidant, Wang Ping'an is outside the palace, but I am in the palace!"

At this time, it was past noon, Li Zhi and Wang Pingan anxiously waited for the sun to set to the west, Li Zhi walked around the hall, while Wang Pingan closed his eyes and did not speak, and the two lived like years.

Finally, the sun was setting towards the west, and it was time to close the palace gate.

Suddenly, a little eunuch ran over and said something to Shi Aiguo. Shi Aiguo entered the hall with a pale face and said, "Your Highness, that Wu Meiniang was so anxious because she couldn't pick out the best peonies and was afraid of being punished." , died suddenly!"

Li Zhi stopped immediately and stopped spinning around, while Wang Pingan stood up from his chair in a hurry!
