The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber
Chapter 75 Chapter 1 Paparazzi
Jia Amnesty pondered whether to call Wei Qingdong, and then considered that he was going to get married in the near future, and he would be very busy preparing for the wedding in these two days, and his ability was on the dead.Jia Sheyin thought of Gao Boming, the general manager of the Imperial Hospital, who is the best at healing the living.
Jia Amnesty sent someone to invite Gao Boming, and immediately brought Jia Lian to Liu's residence.
The Liu family has become a mess.
Before dawn this morning, Liu Tongpan suddenly started to go crazy. The whole family was shocked and rushed to find a doctor.Mother Liu thought yesterday that her son just had a headache and it was nothing serious.When I woke up today, seeing my eldest son like this, I was so frightened that I passed out twice.So there are two patients in this house who need to be cared for.The care of the old lady is taken care of by the female relatives.But for matters such as going out to find a doctor, Liu Tong ordered two brothers, Liu Xingshui and Liu Xingyun, to deal with them.
When Jia Amnesty came to Liu's residence, only Liu Xingshui, the eldest son of the Liu family, was at home.
Liu Xingshui suddenly heard that the imperial envoy had come to the door in person, he was terrified, and hurriedly brought Xiao Pao to meet him.
Since Jia Lian is Liu Tongpan's subordinate, it's not too abrupt to visit here.Instead, he brought the father of a first-rank official, which alarmed the entire Liu family.Liu's mother was nearly [-] years old, and after being revived by the doctor's acupuncture, she heard that an adult came here, and she didn't care about herself, so she hurriedly sent someone to tell Liu Xingshui to entertain the guests respectfully and enthusiastically, and must not lose courtesy.
Liu Xingshui is a simple and honest person, but he is just stupid and not very good at talking and doing things.Despite his mother's repeated instructions, after meeting Jia Amnesty cautiously, he still remained silent because of nervousness.Hearing that Jia She even used his own face to invite the Chief Chief of the Imperial Hospital, he was even more excited. After thanking him a thousand times, he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Jia She.
Jia Lian was so amused by Liu Xingshui's naivety that he wanted to laugh, but seeing his father's serious expression, he quickly pursed his lips, not daring to show too much.
Liu Xingshui immediately consecrated all the good things in the house, but Jia Amnesty stopped him immediately.
"You don't have to bother these servants anymore. Our father and son are here today just to see Liu Tongpan's illness. He usually takes care of the dog, but he is not in good health. It's right to come and see, what's the use? You are so polite." After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, he turned to the topic and asked about Liu Tongpan's physical condition, and asked Liu Xingshui to describe his symptoms in detail.
"When I came back yesterday, I had a headache. I invited the doctor to see it. He said that it might be due to the wind and cold entering the body. He would take a dose of medicine and sleep well. Who would have thought that after taking the medicine, he fell asleep peacefully, but This morning, I suddenly went crazy before dawn. I didn’t know anyone, and I was going to run out arguing. The maids stopped him, and he pushed him down with force. A young man held him down and carried him back.
Seeing this, the doctor said that he was insane. We saw that he changed his mind again, and his words were not accurate, so we dare not believe what he said alone.I also invited three other doctors to look at it, some said it seemed crazy, and some said it couldn't be seen, in short, no one was sure.My third younger brother just went out to trust someone, and wanted to see if he could get a favor, so he invited an imperial physician from the palace to take a look. "
After Liu Xingshui finished explaining, he quickly thanked Jia Amnesty again, thanks to Mrs. Jia's saving face and being able to invite the chief of the Tai Hospital, which really solved their urgent need.
Jia Amnesty sat for a while longer, and Gao Boming, the head of the Imperial Hospital, rushed over.After Gao Boming met Jia Amnesty, they went to the main courtyard of the Liu family to visit Liu Tongpan.
There were guards at the windows and doors of the main hall, and as soon as they entered the room, they could hear humming from the inner bedroom.
After entering the dormitory, Jia Amnesty saw four servants surrounding the bed, holding Liu Tongpan's body to prevent him from running around insanely.
Jia She looked at Liu Tongpan's face, his face was fine, but his eyes were distracted, and he was frantically trying to move his body.
Gao Boming came down last and took Liu Tongpan's pulse steadily, and everyone remained quiet afterward.After a long time, Gao Boming got up and glanced at Jia She.Jia She immediately understood that he was expressing negative meaning.
After Gao Boming came out from the inner chamber, he explained to Jia She and others in detail: "The pulse condition is ups and downs, sometimes slow and sometimes rapid, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, disordered and unclear, and it is difficult to diagnose the disease. I am afraid that there is nothing I can do. I can only prescribe one dose. The medicine that suppresses shock and protects the heart and liver, let's see the effect for now."
Liu Xingshui hurriedly saluted and thanked him.
After the Liu family received the prescription, Jia Amnesty took Gao Boming aside and asked him privately if he had such a pulse before.
Gao Boming recalled it carefully, and said to Jia She: "Two years ago, the eldest son of the Marquis of Changchun had a similar pulse condition, but the symptoms were different. When I checked his pulse, he was not so crazy. He was dying on the sickbed. I went up, and after less than three days, people left."
Jia Amnesty nodded, the son of the Marquis of Changchun was also on his list of 15 sudden deaths from strange diseases.I don’t know how the people in the Hou Mansion described it to Gao Boming at that time. The news he inquired clearly described the symptoms of madness, but for some reason, Gao Boming, as the doctor who diagnosed the pulse at that time, didn’t know about it.
Traditional Chinese medicine talks about listening, hearing, and asking. If you don't clarify the symptoms of the disease, it is likely to delay the treatment.Jia She felt that there might be hidden secrets or some twists and turns. For example, someone ordered the servants to silence him at that time. After a long time, the limelight of this incident has passed, and the servants dared to mention him in private without any taboo. symptoms.
After Jia Amnesty sent Gao Boming away, he intentionally sat down in Liu's house and chatted with Liu Xingshui.After waiting for about a cup of tea, Jia Amnesty saw Liu Xingyun, the eldest son of the Liu family, hurried back.Liu Xingyun entered the door in a little panic, saw Jia Amnesty who was in the first place, hurriedly bowed to meet him, then pressed the corners of his mouth to let out a sigh of relief, but a seemingly happy smile appeared on his face.
Liu Xingyun and his second brother Liu Xingshui sighed: "I was worried that I couldn't find a suitable person, and I was worried that I would be useless. Please don't come to the imperial doctor to delay the treatment of elder brother. Mr. Jia came to rescue the emergency, thank God!"
Liu Xingyun patted his chest in fear, then stretched out his hand and slapped himself on the face lightly, and said to Jia Amnesty: "Hey, look at my mouth, thank God, the one who should be most grateful should be Mrs. Jia. You are ours. The great benefactor of the Liu family!"
Liu Xingyun then bowed excitedly to Jia Amnesty, and even knelt down to thank him.
Jia Amnesty told him not to do so.
Liu Xingyun stopped kneeling, and just said a lot of grateful words, thanking Jia She and his son again and again, and by the way, he also praised Jia Lian, saying that when his elder brother was at home before, he praised Jia Lian's Ministry of Internal Affairs as a good piece of material. In the future, he will surely be promoted like his father, and he will rise to the top.
Jia Lian could not close his mouth happily, and praised Liu Xingyun very much.
Jia Amnesty didn't say much throughout the whole process. After observing Liu Xingyun enough, he immediately took Jia Lian to leave.
After leaving the door, Jia Lian sighed: "These three brothers of the Liu family have very different temperaments. Liu Tongpan is cautious and rigid, and his speech has always been rigid. The second master of the Liu family seems to have a simple and honest temper, but his mouth is too stupid and a bit stupid. The third master Smart, know how to deal with things, and know how to be flexible, such people make people feel at ease when they get along with each other."
Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Lian and sneered.
Jia Lian was puzzled, "Don't father think so?"
"You also have a clever mouth, know how to deal with things, and are also clever." Jia She said, "You and the third child of the Liu family have similar tastes and cherish each other."
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, and knew that his father must have looked down on Liu Xingyun and believed that Liu Xingyun had some defects in his moral character.Anyway, he knew in his heart that he was not a good person in his father's eyes.Jia Lian then bowed her head in shame and apologized, not daring to look directly at Jia Amnesty.
Jia Amnesty then sent Jia Lian back first, while he went to Neighborhood Xuan, and ordered the black pig to collect all the information about Liu Xingyun and the people he had come into contact with recently.
"There should be something wrong with this person. You must investigate everything thoroughly, and don't let go of any details. Don't ignore even the usual things about eating, drinking, and messing around."
There has been no useful information on the sudden death from a strange disease.The clues enough to explain this matter may lie in the details that everyone easily overlooks.So the news points that ordinary people pay attention to are useless instead.
The black pig agreed, and knew that the matter was urgent, so he immediately sent someone to spread the word.
On the second day, Jia Amnesty heard that Liu Tong was sentenced to be bedridden and dying, as if he was in exile.
Jia Amnesty also got specific information about Liu Xingyun, the third master of the Liu family.
Liu Xingyun is an official in the Ministry of War. Because he is smart and good at handling things, he has won the favor of the minister of the Ministry of War in the past two years, so he was promoted from a junior official of the seventh rank three years ago to the current fifth rank.Liu Xingyun is only 28 years old, and he can be promoted to two ranks in three years, which is considered to be the kind of official who is promoted quickly and has good official luck.
Jia Amnesty has also seen Liu Xingyun's mouth, it is indeed clever and cunning.In the officialdom, it is not surprising that he is so smooth and talkative.
"Liu Xingyun doesn't have any special hobbies at ordinary times. Apart from running around to try to please his superiors, he is a believer in Buddhism. He donates thousands of silver to Taoist temples and temples every year to help The gods and Buddhas bless him with a prosperous official career. I got this word from a valet next to him, and there will be no fakes." The black pig said.
"Believe in Buddhism." Jia Amnesty wrote it down in his notebook, and then asked Hei Zhu if any of the family members of the other fifteen victims who died suddenly believed in this.
"That's too much, the general mansion, especially the female family members in the back house believe it." Heizhu said casually.
Jia She's eyes lit up, and he asked Hei Zhu to focus on this aspect in the future.
"Especially Pan Meiren in the Huainan Palace. I want to know if she has been in contact with some Taoist nuns recently."
In addition, Liu Tongpan's condition should be paid attention to at all times, but since the general chief of the Tai Hospital took the pulse and said that there is no way to see the disease, I am afraid that the root cause of the disease cannot be found and it is difficult to cure.
As a result, no one expected that things turned around.
When Liu Tong was on the fourth day of his illness, even Liu's family members felt hopeless and prepared for his funeral.Unexpectedly, that afternoon, Liu Xingshui invited Dr. Min to come and see him because he listened to someone's persuasion.This Dr. Min was originally a quack doctor, because he specializes in treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases, he has become famous among the people in the capital in recent months.
After Dr. Min came to see Liu Tongsan, he came up with a wonderful prescription for suppressing shock and warding off evil spirits. After taking it for Liu Tongsan that night, he accompanied him all night, forcing him to vomit poisonous blood.In the morning of the next day, Liu Tongpan was cured by the medicine and recovered his mind.After another day of feeding, he was able to eat and walk like ordinary people, and gradually improved.
This Dr. Min saved another life at a critical moment, and his reputation in the capital is even worse.Not only did he receive a generous reward from the Liu family, but he also confirmed his reputation as a genius doctor.
Jia Amnesty thought it was a great thing that Liu Tongsan's life could be saved.But this Dr. Min, Jia Amnesty had no choice but to doubt him.So many doctors diagnosed Liu Tong's pulse, but they couldn't find out the cause of the disease, even the most proficient in medicine, the head of the Tai Hospital couldn't find out the same.As a doctor in the folk, he can immediately give an accurate prescription just by looking at it, and he can cure the disease with the medicine, which really makes people feel a little unreal.
If Jia Amnesty hadn't believed in science, he might have followed those people in calling him a miracle doctor.
Jia Amnesty then asked Hei Zhu to look into Dr. Min's background carefully, and record all the people he had frequent contact with.Now there are three main people he suspects, Pan Meiren of the Huainan Prince's Mansion, Liu Xingyun, the third master of the Liu Mansion, and Dr. Min.
After Fang Zhenglu heard about it, he sighed quickly: "I have a little impression of this Dr. Min. No one has heard of it a while ago. It feels like he has suddenly become famous in the past two months. In the news sent in these days, there are A few mentioned him. At that time, I thought he was just a quack doctor who could fool people. I didn’t expect him to be so capable now. I should check him out. I have a feeling that he must be using some tricks to deceive people. , is not worthy of the name.”
Black Pig echoed: "In the past two months, many people have worshiped him as a miracle doctor, saying that he can cure all kinds of diseases and can bring the dead back to life. It is very popular among the common people."
Jia Amnesty asked both of them to seriously investigate this matter, as it was a matter of human life, and not to omit any details.
After Jia She returned to Rongfu, Jia Lian just came back from visiting Liu Tong, so he hurriedly reported the news to Jia She.
"The whole person is refreshed, talking and so on is the same as before, and he plans to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs tomorrow to be on duty."
"Yes." Jia She promised, and asked Jia Lian to help Wang Xifeng when she took a bath tomorrow, "Your elder sister will get married in a few days, and there must be many things for your daughter-in-law. Don't make her tired, you Help out too."
Jia Lian hastily agreed.
Jia Amnesty also thought of Jia Lian's uncle, Zhang Kaijilai, who was transferred to be the deputy chief of patrolling the city a few years later, and became Geng Junliang's deputy.Because he first took up this position, he had to eat, live and practice in the camp with the soldiers patrolling the city in the first few months, so he has not been in Rongfu for the next few months.
Jia Amnesty asked Jia Lian to bring some food to visit him at the camp when he had time, and sent him the summer clothes he had prepared so that he could change them in time when the seasons changed.
Jia Lian didn't expect his father to think about such a small matter carefully. After all, Zhang Kaiji is his own uncle, which is his dereliction of duty.Jia Lian introspected again and again, and after agreeing with his father, he prepared everything and only waited for an early departure the next day.After delivering the things, he can also come back earlier, and then help Wang Xifeng and Zhang Luo Yuanchun prepare for their marriage.
……
Recently, because of the sudden death case, Jia Amnesty shifted part of his attention to Taoist elixir.In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were countless people who believed that cultivating the Tao could lead to immortality.For this kind of thing, Jia Amnesty can't say well, and never make judgments. After all, this is a personal life choice.
But when it comes to cultivating Taoism, he will inevitably notice that there is a very famous Taoist priest in the capital. This person's name is Layman Songshan, but his real name is unknown.Taoist priest Songshan lives in the Taoist temple in Lazishan outside Beijing to practice. He seeks immortality and medicine every day without distraction.
The elixirs he refined were in short supply among the people, and some high-priced 'elixirs' were even offered to several county kings at a price of ten thousand taels of silver.
If this is only a small-scale situation, Jia Amnesty may not pay attention.
But Jia She found that this layman Songshan was not only well-known among the people, but also his elixir was widely spread. There were no less than hundreds of people in the capital area who had formed the habit of taking the elixir of layman Songshan every month.
Layman Songshan was not well-known six or seven years ago. He was just an ordinary Taoist who hid in a Taoist temple and made alchemy silently. He was no different from other Taoist priests who practiced immortality.
Occasionally, one day, he heard that the people who brought food to his Taoist temple said that his legs hurt, so he gave him a few pills.Unexpectedly, after taking the medicine, the people who delivered the food would not feel pain in their legs, and they would be full of energy. It happened that this person had a sharp mouth and was grateful. He liked to spread the word.As soon as the news of Songshan Layman's elixir came out, some people came to the mountain to ask for it.
A small amount of cinnabar and Mitusan have a calming and anti-inflammatory effect, and Songshan Layman’s pills are also mixed with other medicinal materials that nourish the body.Therefore, when taking it at the beginning, the effect is obvious, and it can also make people energetic. This has attracted more and more people to believe that the medicine of Layman Songshan can really make people healthy and prolong life.
Originally Layman Songshan was unwilling to sell pills, but he couldn't stand people asking for them, and as his reputation gradually grew, there were some respectable wealthy nobles among those who came to ask for medicines, and he couldn't afford to offend them.Furthermore, he also wants to do good deeds to repay the people, so as to improve his own moral cultivation.
Therefore, the money earned by Layman Songshan from selling medicines, in addition to being used to build Taoist temples, will be given to the poor.His good reputation is also due to such good deeds, which spread more and more widely.
At the same time, more common people were moved upon hearing the news, begging him to share the life-prolonging elixir with ordinary people.Layman Songshan felt that doing more good deeds and sharing more would help him achieve enlightenment and immortality, so he also responded to these people's requests.Later, more and more disciples were adopted by him, and more and more pills were made. After that, a large number of pills of different grades flowed into the market every month and became products for sale.
Now Layman Songshan's pills have been clearly marked in many pharmacies in the capital, attracting more and more people who have spare money but want to live a long life to rush to buy them.And among the people who bought pills, [-]% were elderly people who were eager to live a long life.However, older people's bodies can't stand the toss. If the medicine they take is poisonous, it is tantamount to making themselves shorter-lived.
Jia She, as a modern person, is naturally very clear about the main ingredients in the traditional refining pills of the ancients.These poisonous substances such as lead, mercury and arsenic will accumulate in the body after people absorb them, causing chronic lead and mercury poisoning.
Since it is such a large-scale matter, it is impossible for Jia Amnesty to let it go.Of course, Jia Amnesty can't just judge based on his own opinion. If the method of refining medicine is different from that of Layman Songshan, is there really no poison like lead and mercury in it?Therefore, we must carefully check whether there is any poisonous substance in his elixir.
Jia She then asked people to collect a lot of pills with different prices, and asked Wei Qingdong to test them all on mice, and the result immediately confirmed Jia She's guess.All elixirs must be poisonous, and the difference between different prices lies in the amount of poison.Ordinary low-priced elixirs are less toxic, and the more expensive elixirs are more toxic.
Therefore, if you want to eat immortality, it is absolutely impossible, but you will definitely die early.
However, it is not appropriate to say that this layman Songshan is cheating.He also eats the elixir he made, and he has always believed in the fact that eating elixir can lead to enlightenment and immortality.And he sold his elixir to everyone, and it was indeed out of his own kindness to share.
But the facts are the facts, and one cannot ignore the substantial harm that his elixirs have brought to those materialistic people just because of his 'goodwill'.
But Jia Amnesty will not prove to the world the problem of Layman Songshan's elixir just by trying to eat it with mice.He also investigated many people who had taken Songshan Jushi's elixir, especially those who had taken it at the very beginning and had taken it for six or seven years.
Jia Amnesty made statistics on the conditions of these people.Among the more than 13 people who ate the most, 12 people survived, [-] people suffered from bleeding gums, bad breath, headache, cough, paralysis of limbs, mania and other bad symptoms, and the remaining one person not only suffered from the former Symptoms, as well as blindness, and confusion, and recently fainted frequently.
Jia Amnesty wrote all the situations of these people into "Secrets of Neighbors", especially the pre-death symptoms of those who died after taking pills for several years.
People with a discerning eye can naturally see the similar symptoms of these [-] people, find similar connections, and summarize the laws.
Jia Amnesty finished the manuscript overnight, and after having Fang Zhenglu and Liu Xianglian review and proofread it twice, it was immediately sent to Yinfang for printing.Because not only the printing workshop in the suburbs of Beijing was available this time, Jia Amnesty also used the Sanzi workshop under Song Xi's name. The two printing workshops worked together day and night, and the printing and binding were completed in less than three days.Because this issue of "Secrets of Neighbors" describes in detail the situation of more than 30 people who took pills, the book is twice as thick as previous issues.
The book just happened to be released on the [-]th of the middle of the month.
Because Layman Songshan is very well-known among the people, this book immediately caused an uproar when it was published.
In the thirteenth issue of "Secrets of Neighbors", there is not a sentence that clearly states that the elixir of Layman Songshan is poisonous.Still based on the facts of the investigation, it first described the result of feeding the rats with elixir to death, and also described the symptoms of acute poisoning of the rats in detail.Then there are the details of the more than 30 people who have taken the elixir for many years.
As for the 13 living people mentioned in the book, they were all revealed by their real names. The capital is so big, and many of them know these people. If someone can personally confirm the symptoms they saw, it is even more evidence of the "Secrets of the Lin Family" The content stated is true.
"I thought it was because my neighbor was old and sick, but I didn't expect it to be caused by the pills given by Layman Songshan."
"Oh, I never expected that the layman's pills not only can't prolong life, but can also shorten life!"
"It's really scary. How is this different from a murderer? I'm so angry. I bought a pill last month. Will I end up like these people in the book in a few years?"
At this moment, someone slapped the table, and bared their teeth angrily, "What's the deal? Can you go to the Yamen to sue him? I've been taking his medicine for two years!"
Everyone looked at the man's mouth, the gums were congested and swollen, and when he spoke, he could smell a foul smell from a distance.The symptoms are the same as the initial symptoms described in the book.
Everyone expressed sympathy.Then I saw people on the street calling Layman Songshan to harm people, many of them had taken Layman Songshan’s pills, panicked, angry and terrified, worried that they would end up like those people in the book.
So in less than half a day, all the victims in the capital who had taken Layman Songshan's pills got together and went out of Beijing to settle accounts with Layman Songshan.
Besides, those county kings who had sold the pills to the Layman Songshan were all panicked, and some of them went to the palace directly in a fit of anger, asking the emperor to call the shots.
The emperor had just finished processing today's memorial, and stretched his waist, resting his chin on the table case for a little distraction.Hearing his cousin King Ping'an's sudden visit, the emperor felt something new.
His cousin is a capable general, but he has a simple mind and doesn't like to meddle in the government affairs.Usually, he would rush wherever he ordered, but the emperor liked his simple and straightforward nature. Although King Ping'an was not of noble blood among the royal children, the emperor also gave him special kindness and gave him the seal of honor. county king.
It was peaceful on Thursday, and the emperor was wondering why his cousin came to him in such a hurry, when he came in with a bronze book in his hand.The emperor understood right away, how could he have forgotten that today is the fifteenth day of the middle of the month, and it was the day when "Secret Stories Next Door" added something to him.
The emperor stared at the book in King Ping'an's hand, and prayed in his heart that Jia She didn't know what was going on, and picked up some scandals about the nobles to embarrass the royal family.The key is not to tell him in advance!No, this book was later reviewed by Song Xi, which should be Song Xi's responsibility.
If this pair of wild mandarin ducks really caused him trouble, the emperor felt that he must be ruthless this time, and teach them a lesson, so that they will be in trouble for a while.
"My brother has something to report." A big man in King Ping'an knelt down in front of the emperor and began to cry. "Besides, my brother has some last words to say, please let the emperor fulfill them."
The emperor was almost taken aback, looked at King Ping'an in surprise, and asked him what happened. "What last words? You are full of energy, and you are in front of me, how can you say such rebellious and disloyal words. What kind of ugly things about you are exposed in this book, so that you, a big man, must seek death?"
The emperor glanced at the book in King Ping'an's hand again, and became more curious about the contents inside.
"My younger brother doesn't want to die, but my younger brother is poisoned, and he will die soon," King Ping'an held the book in his hand and offered it up.
The emperor finally received the book, opened it with great interest, and found that Jia She reported a Taoist priest in this issue. Those who have taken the elixir will testify to the fact that the elixir is poisonous.
The emperor immediately frowned and looked at the boxy brocade box on his desk.This was presented by the King of Huainan just yesterday, saying that it prolongs life.Because the emperor was busy with state affairs yesterday, it was too late to review the memorial, so he forgot about it.
Are all pills poisonous?Does he have this one?If so, what kind of ambition did King Huainan have?
Many doubts arose in the emperor's mind at the moment, and his face darkened.
"My brother has just taken two pills of Layman Songshan in the past two months." After King Pingan finished speaking, he burst into tears again and fell down on the ground.
The emperor frowned and looked at his pitiful appearance, he didn't look like a man of seven feet tall.But yes, this person is afraid of death.
"I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of dying in useless things. I can't sacrifice my life for the country and die dignifiedly. Instead, I die in such a trivial matter. My heart is not reconciled. I feel wronged. ah!"
When King Pingan was crying, he especially liked to blink and squeeze tears.
The emperor hadn't seen him cry for more than 30 years, and he looked very pitiful. He couldn't help but remind him that when he was a young prince, he bullied him all the time.But King Pingan is a simple and simple person, no matter how many times he bullies him, after crying, he will follow behind his ass happily next time, and let him order.
The emperor felt sorry for his simple cousin, and comforted him: "This Taoist priest is indeed harmful! But you don't have to rush to make a diagnosis. I'll let Gao Boming take a good look at it for you."
King Pingan also knew that he couldn't be too sad in front of the emperor, after all, after he died, his children would have to rely on the emperor to take care of him.So she stopped her tears and nodded obediently.
Not long after, Gao Boming came to see him, and after taking the pulse of King Ping'an, he listened to King Ping'an's explanation of his worries.Gao Boming personally fetched "Secret Stories Next Door" to read carefully, and then told him not to worry about it.
"It is said in the book that this poison is caused by years and years. I will take two pills occasionally and it will not cause death. I will prescribe a prescription for the prince to detoxify. There are also things to pay attention to in terms of diet. As long as you take a little care On this day, the prince's body will definitely return to its original state, and there will be no poison left."
After hearing this, King Pingan looked at the emperor embarrassedly, then asked Gao Boming in a low voice to confirm if it was true.He forced Gao Boming to almost raise his hand to swear before he believed it. Then he embarrassingly apologized to the emperor, and hurriedly left in embarrassment.
King Pingan didn't realize it until he left the door. He forgot about the matter of pursuing the crime of the Songshan layman, but he couldn't go back and forth. Thinking about the emperor's wisdom, he should deal with it according to the circumstances.
King Pingan walked back uncertainly, and happened to meet Song Xi, so he pulled Song Xi and asked him if he was going to meet the saint.
Song Xi nodded slightly.
King Ping angrily told him that he had taken the poisonous elixir, "Thanks to "Secrets of Neighbors" for exposing this matter, fortunately I only took two pills. Doctor Gao said that if I continue to take it, This body really can’t be saved, it’s scary to think about it.”
Song Xi: "Then you have to remember the life-saving grace of "Secret Stories Next Door"."
"Of course I will remember when I, King Pingan, was an ungrateful person. I also want to thank the scholar, but this person is too mysterious, and I don't know who it is. There is no way to repay the favor." King Pingan said innocently. Shrugged.He is over 40 years old, but in front of the young and stable Song Xi, he looks more like a child.
Song Xi smiled lightly, "Sooner or later." Then he said goodbye to King Pingan and left.
King Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he hadn't finished speaking, and he wanted to ask Song Xi to help him make up his premise in the holy place, and deal with the Taoist priest who unscrupulously used pills to harm people, but he forgot again.Seeing that Song Xi was also gone, he didn't want to chase after him rudely, so he sighed, thinking that his brain was not functioning because of the poison he had taken, so he rolled up his sleeves and went home to take the antidote to nourish himself.
……
Jia Amnesty was relieved to hear that after the release of the new issue, it did not cause any controversy, and it was very convincing to let everyone realize the poison of the elixir.
Regarding the disposal of Layman Songshan, Jia Amnesty hesitated at first. Although he did not do it out of malice, it is a fait accompli fact that he caused human injury.
However, Jia Amnesty still wanted to prevent him from dying under the violence of the poisoned people, so before the release of "Secrets of the Neighbors", he had already invited Master Songshan to Gyeonggi Province.
Layman Songshan is stubborn in the face of the evidence. He still refuses to admit that there is something wrong with his elixir, and insists that he is kind enough to share the elixir that prolongs life with everyone. He has done a good deed with good intentions. He shouldn't be so maliciously speculated.
Seeing him like this, Liu Zhizhong, the Prime Minister of Gyeonggi Prefecture, was helpless, but he didn't order anyone to torture him.Because Layman Songshan has limited mobility and needs to travel in a wheelchair, his limbs occasionally twitch, and his complexion is extremely unwell.Liu Zhizhong invited a doctor to see him, and found that this person's body was extremely sick, and his "ascension to immortality" would not be long.
Liu Zhizhong didn't care what he did, but asked someone to temporarily place him in a wing room in Gyeonggi Prefecture.Now only relying on "Secrets of the Neighborhood" cannot be used as criminal evidence to deal with Layman Songshan.Unless someone sues him in the name of the victim, Gyeonggi Prefecture can use this as evidence for investigation.
Regarding the matter of dealing with the follow-up of Layman Songshan, Jia Amnesty became the hands-off shopkeeper again, regardless of how Gyeonggi Province handled it.In the past two days, because of Yuan Chun's marriage, he was busy at home, and he also took Mrs. Yin to the warehouse of the Song Mansion to choose, found a few suitable gifts, and added a dowry to Yuan Chun.
On the eighteenth day, Yuan Chun got married in a grand manner.
Wei Qingdong rode a tall horse with a red face and a smile on his face, and took his new wife back.
Jia Amnesty watched the newlyweds off, feeling a little apprehensive.After all, the ancient marriage model did not allow men and women to get along too much, and Jia Amnesty was really afraid that the young couple would not get along after marriage, but he couldn't regret it and start over again.
Fortunately, he was overthinking.
Three days later, when Yuan Chun and Wei Qingdong returned home, the couple were full of happiness and their smiles were genuine.
Jia She could see that Yuan Chun was very satisfied with this marriage, and also liked her husband who admired her very much.And Wei Qingdong looked at Yuan Chun with loving eyes, as if "my wife is the most beautiful in the world".
Seeing that their husband and wife were so happy, Jia She was relieved.
Wei Qingdong just stayed at Jia Mu's place for a while, and then came to see Jia She, thanking him for the marriage introduction.
"You're being polite. If you treat her like this every day in the future, we should thank you and trouble you to take good care of our Jia family girl in the future. Have you paid homage to your father-in-law?"
"I'm going." Wei Qingdong said.
"Go quickly, compliment him more, say something nice, he will like you." Jia She reminded.
Wei Qingdong hurriedly agreed with a smile, then stepped back, led people out of the West Corner Gate, and went to Jia Zheng's office to greet him.
As soon as Jia She was free, he saw the black pig running back in a hurry and said to him out of breath, "Master, someone is telling a story in the teahouse, accusing you of being a corrupt official and a traitor."
Jia Amnesty looked at him suspiciously: "Since it is a false accusation, you know how to deal with it." Sue the government and arrest him.
Zhu Mao stomped his feet angrily, "That's why he's angry. He didn't mention his name, but just replaced it with someone. Although he said it in a vague way, it fits your identity."
anonymous?
Jia Amnesty sneered, which was a bit interesting, learning the tricks used in the first issue of "Secret Stories Next Door".
The author has something to say: Tip: The case of Layman Songshan is different from the case of sudden death.
Layman Songshan: The elixir I make is delicious, I eat it myself, and I share it with love for everyone to eat, why are you wronging me!
Jia Amnesty: I am sick.
Layman Songshan: You are the only one who is sick, and your whole family is sick. Come, come, open your mouth, and take medicine!The medicine cannot be stopped!
Song Xi: I am his husband.
Layman Songshan: (horrified) Yes, sorry, Mr. Song.
Jia Amnesty: (to Song Xi) Ignore that kind of person, where are we going tonight?
Song Xi: Enjoy the scenery.
Jia Amnesty: What scene?
Song Xi: Burning Lazi Mountain
Jia Amnesty sent someone to invite Gao Boming, and immediately brought Jia Lian to Liu's residence.
The Liu family has become a mess.
Before dawn this morning, Liu Tongpan suddenly started to go crazy. The whole family was shocked and rushed to find a doctor.Mother Liu thought yesterday that her son just had a headache and it was nothing serious.When I woke up today, seeing my eldest son like this, I was so frightened that I passed out twice.So there are two patients in this house who need to be cared for.The care of the old lady is taken care of by the female relatives.But for matters such as going out to find a doctor, Liu Tong ordered two brothers, Liu Xingshui and Liu Xingyun, to deal with them.
When Jia Amnesty came to Liu's residence, only Liu Xingshui, the eldest son of the Liu family, was at home.
Liu Xingshui suddenly heard that the imperial envoy had come to the door in person, he was terrified, and hurriedly brought Xiao Pao to meet him.
Since Jia Lian is Liu Tongpan's subordinate, it's not too abrupt to visit here.Instead, he brought the father of a first-rank official, which alarmed the entire Liu family.Liu's mother was nearly [-] years old, and after being revived by the doctor's acupuncture, she heard that an adult came here, and she didn't care about herself, so she hurriedly sent someone to tell Liu Xingshui to entertain the guests respectfully and enthusiastically, and must not lose courtesy.
Liu Xingshui is a simple and honest person, but he is just stupid and not very good at talking and doing things.Despite his mother's repeated instructions, after meeting Jia Amnesty cautiously, he still remained silent because of nervousness.Hearing that Jia She even used his own face to invite the Chief Chief of the Imperial Hospital, he was even more excited. After thanking him a thousand times, he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Jia She.
Jia Lian was so amused by Liu Xingshui's naivety that he wanted to laugh, but seeing his father's serious expression, he quickly pursed his lips, not daring to show too much.
Liu Xingshui immediately consecrated all the good things in the house, but Jia Amnesty stopped him immediately.
"You don't have to bother these servants anymore. Our father and son are here today just to see Liu Tongpan's illness. He usually takes care of the dog, but he is not in good health. It's right to come and see, what's the use? You are so polite." After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, he turned to the topic and asked about Liu Tongpan's physical condition, and asked Liu Xingshui to describe his symptoms in detail.
"When I came back yesterday, I had a headache. I invited the doctor to see it. He said that it might be due to the wind and cold entering the body. He would take a dose of medicine and sleep well. Who would have thought that after taking the medicine, he fell asleep peacefully, but This morning, I suddenly went crazy before dawn. I didn’t know anyone, and I was going to run out arguing. The maids stopped him, and he pushed him down with force. A young man held him down and carried him back.
Seeing this, the doctor said that he was insane. We saw that he changed his mind again, and his words were not accurate, so we dare not believe what he said alone.I also invited three other doctors to look at it, some said it seemed crazy, and some said it couldn't be seen, in short, no one was sure.My third younger brother just went out to trust someone, and wanted to see if he could get a favor, so he invited an imperial physician from the palace to take a look. "
After Liu Xingshui finished explaining, he quickly thanked Jia Amnesty again, thanks to Mrs. Jia's saving face and being able to invite the chief of the Tai Hospital, which really solved their urgent need.
Jia Amnesty sat for a while longer, and Gao Boming, the head of the Imperial Hospital, rushed over.After Gao Boming met Jia Amnesty, they went to the main courtyard of the Liu family to visit Liu Tongpan.
There were guards at the windows and doors of the main hall, and as soon as they entered the room, they could hear humming from the inner bedroom.
After entering the dormitory, Jia Amnesty saw four servants surrounding the bed, holding Liu Tongpan's body to prevent him from running around insanely.
Jia She looked at Liu Tongpan's face, his face was fine, but his eyes were distracted, and he was frantically trying to move his body.
Gao Boming came down last and took Liu Tongpan's pulse steadily, and everyone remained quiet afterward.After a long time, Gao Boming got up and glanced at Jia She.Jia She immediately understood that he was expressing negative meaning.
After Gao Boming came out from the inner chamber, he explained to Jia She and others in detail: "The pulse condition is ups and downs, sometimes slow and sometimes rapid, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, disordered and unclear, and it is difficult to diagnose the disease. I am afraid that there is nothing I can do. I can only prescribe one dose. The medicine that suppresses shock and protects the heart and liver, let's see the effect for now."
Liu Xingshui hurriedly saluted and thanked him.
After the Liu family received the prescription, Jia Amnesty took Gao Boming aside and asked him privately if he had such a pulse before.
Gao Boming recalled it carefully, and said to Jia She: "Two years ago, the eldest son of the Marquis of Changchun had a similar pulse condition, but the symptoms were different. When I checked his pulse, he was not so crazy. He was dying on the sickbed. I went up, and after less than three days, people left."
Jia Amnesty nodded, the son of the Marquis of Changchun was also on his list of 15 sudden deaths from strange diseases.I don’t know how the people in the Hou Mansion described it to Gao Boming at that time. The news he inquired clearly described the symptoms of madness, but for some reason, Gao Boming, as the doctor who diagnosed the pulse at that time, didn’t know about it.
Traditional Chinese medicine talks about listening, hearing, and asking. If you don't clarify the symptoms of the disease, it is likely to delay the treatment.Jia She felt that there might be hidden secrets or some twists and turns. For example, someone ordered the servants to silence him at that time. After a long time, the limelight of this incident has passed, and the servants dared to mention him in private without any taboo. symptoms.
After Jia Amnesty sent Gao Boming away, he intentionally sat down in Liu's house and chatted with Liu Xingshui.After waiting for about a cup of tea, Jia Amnesty saw Liu Xingyun, the eldest son of the Liu family, hurried back.Liu Xingyun entered the door in a little panic, saw Jia Amnesty who was in the first place, hurriedly bowed to meet him, then pressed the corners of his mouth to let out a sigh of relief, but a seemingly happy smile appeared on his face.
Liu Xingyun and his second brother Liu Xingshui sighed: "I was worried that I couldn't find a suitable person, and I was worried that I would be useless. Please don't come to the imperial doctor to delay the treatment of elder brother. Mr. Jia came to rescue the emergency, thank God!"
Liu Xingyun patted his chest in fear, then stretched out his hand and slapped himself on the face lightly, and said to Jia Amnesty: "Hey, look at my mouth, thank God, the one who should be most grateful should be Mrs. Jia. You are ours. The great benefactor of the Liu family!"
Liu Xingyun then bowed excitedly to Jia Amnesty, and even knelt down to thank him.
Jia Amnesty told him not to do so.
Liu Xingyun stopped kneeling, and just said a lot of grateful words, thanking Jia She and his son again and again, and by the way, he also praised Jia Lian, saying that when his elder brother was at home before, he praised Jia Lian's Ministry of Internal Affairs as a good piece of material. In the future, he will surely be promoted like his father, and he will rise to the top.
Jia Lian could not close his mouth happily, and praised Liu Xingyun very much.
Jia Amnesty didn't say much throughout the whole process. After observing Liu Xingyun enough, he immediately took Jia Lian to leave.
After leaving the door, Jia Lian sighed: "These three brothers of the Liu family have very different temperaments. Liu Tongpan is cautious and rigid, and his speech has always been rigid. The second master of the Liu family seems to have a simple and honest temper, but his mouth is too stupid and a bit stupid. The third master Smart, know how to deal with things, and know how to be flexible, such people make people feel at ease when they get along with each other."
Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Lian and sneered.
Jia Lian was puzzled, "Don't father think so?"
"You also have a clever mouth, know how to deal with things, and are also clever." Jia She said, "You and the third child of the Liu family have similar tastes and cherish each other."
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, and knew that his father must have looked down on Liu Xingyun and believed that Liu Xingyun had some defects in his moral character.Anyway, he knew in his heart that he was not a good person in his father's eyes.Jia Lian then bowed her head in shame and apologized, not daring to look directly at Jia Amnesty.
Jia Amnesty then sent Jia Lian back first, while he went to Neighborhood Xuan, and ordered the black pig to collect all the information about Liu Xingyun and the people he had come into contact with recently.
"There should be something wrong with this person. You must investigate everything thoroughly, and don't let go of any details. Don't ignore even the usual things about eating, drinking, and messing around."
There has been no useful information on the sudden death from a strange disease.The clues enough to explain this matter may lie in the details that everyone easily overlooks.So the news points that ordinary people pay attention to are useless instead.
The black pig agreed, and knew that the matter was urgent, so he immediately sent someone to spread the word.
On the second day, Jia Amnesty heard that Liu Tong was sentenced to be bedridden and dying, as if he was in exile.
Jia Amnesty also got specific information about Liu Xingyun, the third master of the Liu family.
Liu Xingyun is an official in the Ministry of War. Because he is smart and good at handling things, he has won the favor of the minister of the Ministry of War in the past two years, so he was promoted from a junior official of the seventh rank three years ago to the current fifth rank.Liu Xingyun is only 28 years old, and he can be promoted to two ranks in three years, which is considered to be the kind of official who is promoted quickly and has good official luck.
Jia Amnesty has also seen Liu Xingyun's mouth, it is indeed clever and cunning.In the officialdom, it is not surprising that he is so smooth and talkative.
"Liu Xingyun doesn't have any special hobbies at ordinary times. Apart from running around to try to please his superiors, he is a believer in Buddhism. He donates thousands of silver to Taoist temples and temples every year to help The gods and Buddhas bless him with a prosperous official career. I got this word from a valet next to him, and there will be no fakes." The black pig said.
"Believe in Buddhism." Jia Amnesty wrote it down in his notebook, and then asked Hei Zhu if any of the family members of the other fifteen victims who died suddenly believed in this.
"That's too much, the general mansion, especially the female family members in the back house believe it." Heizhu said casually.
Jia She's eyes lit up, and he asked Hei Zhu to focus on this aspect in the future.
"Especially Pan Meiren in the Huainan Palace. I want to know if she has been in contact with some Taoist nuns recently."
In addition, Liu Tongpan's condition should be paid attention to at all times, but since the general chief of the Tai Hospital took the pulse and said that there is no way to see the disease, I am afraid that the root cause of the disease cannot be found and it is difficult to cure.
As a result, no one expected that things turned around.
When Liu Tong was on the fourth day of his illness, even Liu's family members felt hopeless and prepared for his funeral.Unexpectedly, that afternoon, Liu Xingshui invited Dr. Min to come and see him because he listened to someone's persuasion.This Dr. Min was originally a quack doctor, because he specializes in treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases, he has become famous among the people in the capital in recent months.
After Dr. Min came to see Liu Tongsan, he came up with a wonderful prescription for suppressing shock and warding off evil spirits. After taking it for Liu Tongsan that night, he accompanied him all night, forcing him to vomit poisonous blood.In the morning of the next day, Liu Tongpan was cured by the medicine and recovered his mind.After another day of feeding, he was able to eat and walk like ordinary people, and gradually improved.
This Dr. Min saved another life at a critical moment, and his reputation in the capital is even worse.Not only did he receive a generous reward from the Liu family, but he also confirmed his reputation as a genius doctor.
Jia Amnesty thought it was a great thing that Liu Tongsan's life could be saved.But this Dr. Min, Jia Amnesty had no choice but to doubt him.So many doctors diagnosed Liu Tong's pulse, but they couldn't find out the cause of the disease, even the most proficient in medicine, the head of the Tai Hospital couldn't find out the same.As a doctor in the folk, he can immediately give an accurate prescription just by looking at it, and he can cure the disease with the medicine, which really makes people feel a little unreal.
If Jia Amnesty hadn't believed in science, he might have followed those people in calling him a miracle doctor.
Jia Amnesty then asked Hei Zhu to look into Dr. Min's background carefully, and record all the people he had frequent contact with.Now there are three main people he suspects, Pan Meiren of the Huainan Prince's Mansion, Liu Xingyun, the third master of the Liu Mansion, and Dr. Min.
After Fang Zhenglu heard about it, he sighed quickly: "I have a little impression of this Dr. Min. No one has heard of it a while ago. It feels like he has suddenly become famous in the past two months. In the news sent in these days, there are A few mentioned him. At that time, I thought he was just a quack doctor who could fool people. I didn’t expect him to be so capable now. I should check him out. I have a feeling that he must be using some tricks to deceive people. , is not worthy of the name.”
Black Pig echoed: "In the past two months, many people have worshiped him as a miracle doctor, saying that he can cure all kinds of diseases and can bring the dead back to life. It is very popular among the common people."
Jia Amnesty asked both of them to seriously investigate this matter, as it was a matter of human life, and not to omit any details.
After Jia She returned to Rongfu, Jia Lian just came back from visiting Liu Tong, so he hurriedly reported the news to Jia She.
"The whole person is refreshed, talking and so on is the same as before, and he plans to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs tomorrow to be on duty."
"Yes." Jia She promised, and asked Jia Lian to help Wang Xifeng when she took a bath tomorrow, "Your elder sister will get married in a few days, and there must be many things for your daughter-in-law. Don't make her tired, you Help out too."
Jia Lian hastily agreed.
Jia Amnesty also thought of Jia Lian's uncle, Zhang Kaijilai, who was transferred to be the deputy chief of patrolling the city a few years later, and became Geng Junliang's deputy.Because he first took up this position, he had to eat, live and practice in the camp with the soldiers patrolling the city in the first few months, so he has not been in Rongfu for the next few months.
Jia Amnesty asked Jia Lian to bring some food to visit him at the camp when he had time, and sent him the summer clothes he had prepared so that he could change them in time when the seasons changed.
Jia Lian didn't expect his father to think about such a small matter carefully. After all, Zhang Kaiji is his own uncle, which is his dereliction of duty.Jia Lian introspected again and again, and after agreeing with his father, he prepared everything and only waited for an early departure the next day.After delivering the things, he can also come back earlier, and then help Wang Xifeng and Zhang Luo Yuanchun prepare for their marriage.
……
Recently, because of the sudden death case, Jia Amnesty shifted part of his attention to Taoist elixir.In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were countless people who believed that cultivating the Tao could lead to immortality.For this kind of thing, Jia Amnesty can't say well, and never make judgments. After all, this is a personal life choice.
But when it comes to cultivating Taoism, he will inevitably notice that there is a very famous Taoist priest in the capital. This person's name is Layman Songshan, but his real name is unknown.Taoist priest Songshan lives in the Taoist temple in Lazishan outside Beijing to practice. He seeks immortality and medicine every day without distraction.
The elixirs he refined were in short supply among the people, and some high-priced 'elixirs' were even offered to several county kings at a price of ten thousand taels of silver.
If this is only a small-scale situation, Jia Amnesty may not pay attention.
But Jia She found that this layman Songshan was not only well-known among the people, but also his elixir was widely spread. There were no less than hundreds of people in the capital area who had formed the habit of taking the elixir of layman Songshan every month.
Layman Songshan was not well-known six or seven years ago. He was just an ordinary Taoist who hid in a Taoist temple and made alchemy silently. He was no different from other Taoist priests who practiced immortality.
Occasionally, one day, he heard that the people who brought food to his Taoist temple said that his legs hurt, so he gave him a few pills.Unexpectedly, after taking the medicine, the people who delivered the food would not feel pain in their legs, and they would be full of energy. It happened that this person had a sharp mouth and was grateful. He liked to spread the word.As soon as the news of Songshan Layman's elixir came out, some people came to the mountain to ask for it.
A small amount of cinnabar and Mitusan have a calming and anti-inflammatory effect, and Songshan Layman’s pills are also mixed with other medicinal materials that nourish the body.Therefore, when taking it at the beginning, the effect is obvious, and it can also make people energetic. This has attracted more and more people to believe that the medicine of Layman Songshan can really make people healthy and prolong life.
Originally Layman Songshan was unwilling to sell pills, but he couldn't stand people asking for them, and as his reputation gradually grew, there were some respectable wealthy nobles among those who came to ask for medicines, and he couldn't afford to offend them.Furthermore, he also wants to do good deeds to repay the people, so as to improve his own moral cultivation.
Therefore, the money earned by Layman Songshan from selling medicines, in addition to being used to build Taoist temples, will be given to the poor.His good reputation is also due to such good deeds, which spread more and more widely.
At the same time, more common people were moved upon hearing the news, begging him to share the life-prolonging elixir with ordinary people.Layman Songshan felt that doing more good deeds and sharing more would help him achieve enlightenment and immortality, so he also responded to these people's requests.Later, more and more disciples were adopted by him, and more and more pills were made. After that, a large number of pills of different grades flowed into the market every month and became products for sale.
Now Layman Songshan's pills have been clearly marked in many pharmacies in the capital, attracting more and more people who have spare money but want to live a long life to rush to buy them.And among the people who bought pills, [-]% were elderly people who were eager to live a long life.However, older people's bodies can't stand the toss. If the medicine they take is poisonous, it is tantamount to making themselves shorter-lived.
Jia She, as a modern person, is naturally very clear about the main ingredients in the traditional refining pills of the ancients.These poisonous substances such as lead, mercury and arsenic will accumulate in the body after people absorb them, causing chronic lead and mercury poisoning.
Since it is such a large-scale matter, it is impossible for Jia Amnesty to let it go.Of course, Jia Amnesty can't just judge based on his own opinion. If the method of refining medicine is different from that of Layman Songshan, is there really no poison like lead and mercury in it?Therefore, we must carefully check whether there is any poisonous substance in his elixir.
Jia She then asked people to collect a lot of pills with different prices, and asked Wei Qingdong to test them all on mice, and the result immediately confirmed Jia She's guess.All elixirs must be poisonous, and the difference between different prices lies in the amount of poison.Ordinary low-priced elixirs are less toxic, and the more expensive elixirs are more toxic.
Therefore, if you want to eat immortality, it is absolutely impossible, but you will definitely die early.
However, it is not appropriate to say that this layman Songshan is cheating.He also eats the elixir he made, and he has always believed in the fact that eating elixir can lead to enlightenment and immortality.And he sold his elixir to everyone, and it was indeed out of his own kindness to share.
But the facts are the facts, and one cannot ignore the substantial harm that his elixirs have brought to those materialistic people just because of his 'goodwill'.
But Jia Amnesty will not prove to the world the problem of Layman Songshan's elixir just by trying to eat it with mice.He also investigated many people who had taken Songshan Jushi's elixir, especially those who had taken it at the very beginning and had taken it for six or seven years.
Jia Amnesty made statistics on the conditions of these people.Among the more than 13 people who ate the most, 12 people survived, [-] people suffered from bleeding gums, bad breath, headache, cough, paralysis of limbs, mania and other bad symptoms, and the remaining one person not only suffered from the former Symptoms, as well as blindness, and confusion, and recently fainted frequently.
Jia Amnesty wrote all the situations of these people into "Secrets of Neighbors", especially the pre-death symptoms of those who died after taking pills for several years.
People with a discerning eye can naturally see the similar symptoms of these [-] people, find similar connections, and summarize the laws.
Jia Amnesty finished the manuscript overnight, and after having Fang Zhenglu and Liu Xianglian review and proofread it twice, it was immediately sent to Yinfang for printing.Because not only the printing workshop in the suburbs of Beijing was available this time, Jia Amnesty also used the Sanzi workshop under Song Xi's name. The two printing workshops worked together day and night, and the printing and binding were completed in less than three days.Because this issue of "Secrets of Neighbors" describes in detail the situation of more than 30 people who took pills, the book is twice as thick as previous issues.
The book just happened to be released on the [-]th of the middle of the month.
Because Layman Songshan is very well-known among the people, this book immediately caused an uproar when it was published.
In the thirteenth issue of "Secrets of Neighbors", there is not a sentence that clearly states that the elixir of Layman Songshan is poisonous.Still based on the facts of the investigation, it first described the result of feeding the rats with elixir to death, and also described the symptoms of acute poisoning of the rats in detail.Then there are the details of the more than 30 people who have taken the elixir for many years.
As for the 13 living people mentioned in the book, they were all revealed by their real names. The capital is so big, and many of them know these people. If someone can personally confirm the symptoms they saw, it is even more evidence of the "Secrets of the Lin Family" The content stated is true.
"I thought it was because my neighbor was old and sick, but I didn't expect it to be caused by the pills given by Layman Songshan."
"Oh, I never expected that the layman's pills not only can't prolong life, but can also shorten life!"
"It's really scary. How is this different from a murderer? I'm so angry. I bought a pill last month. Will I end up like these people in the book in a few years?"
At this moment, someone slapped the table, and bared their teeth angrily, "What's the deal? Can you go to the Yamen to sue him? I've been taking his medicine for two years!"
Everyone looked at the man's mouth, the gums were congested and swollen, and when he spoke, he could smell a foul smell from a distance.The symptoms are the same as the initial symptoms described in the book.
Everyone expressed sympathy.Then I saw people on the street calling Layman Songshan to harm people, many of them had taken Layman Songshan’s pills, panicked, angry and terrified, worried that they would end up like those people in the book.
So in less than half a day, all the victims in the capital who had taken Layman Songshan's pills got together and went out of Beijing to settle accounts with Layman Songshan.
Besides, those county kings who had sold the pills to the Layman Songshan were all panicked, and some of them went to the palace directly in a fit of anger, asking the emperor to call the shots.
The emperor had just finished processing today's memorial, and stretched his waist, resting his chin on the table case for a little distraction.Hearing his cousin King Ping'an's sudden visit, the emperor felt something new.
His cousin is a capable general, but he has a simple mind and doesn't like to meddle in the government affairs.Usually, he would rush wherever he ordered, but the emperor liked his simple and straightforward nature. Although King Ping'an was not of noble blood among the royal children, the emperor also gave him special kindness and gave him the seal of honor. county king.
It was peaceful on Thursday, and the emperor was wondering why his cousin came to him in such a hurry, when he came in with a bronze book in his hand.The emperor understood right away, how could he have forgotten that today is the fifteenth day of the middle of the month, and it was the day when "Secret Stories Next Door" added something to him.
The emperor stared at the book in King Ping'an's hand, and prayed in his heart that Jia She didn't know what was going on, and picked up some scandals about the nobles to embarrass the royal family.The key is not to tell him in advance!No, this book was later reviewed by Song Xi, which should be Song Xi's responsibility.
If this pair of wild mandarin ducks really caused him trouble, the emperor felt that he must be ruthless this time, and teach them a lesson, so that they will be in trouble for a while.
"My brother has something to report." A big man in King Ping'an knelt down in front of the emperor and began to cry. "Besides, my brother has some last words to say, please let the emperor fulfill them."
The emperor was almost taken aback, looked at King Ping'an in surprise, and asked him what happened. "What last words? You are full of energy, and you are in front of me, how can you say such rebellious and disloyal words. What kind of ugly things about you are exposed in this book, so that you, a big man, must seek death?"
The emperor glanced at the book in King Ping'an's hand again, and became more curious about the contents inside.
"My younger brother doesn't want to die, but my younger brother is poisoned, and he will die soon," King Ping'an held the book in his hand and offered it up.
The emperor finally received the book, opened it with great interest, and found that Jia She reported a Taoist priest in this issue. Those who have taken the elixir will testify to the fact that the elixir is poisonous.
The emperor immediately frowned and looked at the boxy brocade box on his desk.This was presented by the King of Huainan just yesterday, saying that it prolongs life.Because the emperor was busy with state affairs yesterday, it was too late to review the memorial, so he forgot about it.
Are all pills poisonous?Does he have this one?If so, what kind of ambition did King Huainan have?
Many doubts arose in the emperor's mind at the moment, and his face darkened.
"My brother has just taken two pills of Layman Songshan in the past two months." After King Pingan finished speaking, he burst into tears again and fell down on the ground.
The emperor frowned and looked at his pitiful appearance, he didn't look like a man of seven feet tall.But yes, this person is afraid of death.
"I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of dying in useless things. I can't sacrifice my life for the country and die dignifiedly. Instead, I die in such a trivial matter. My heart is not reconciled. I feel wronged. ah!"
When King Pingan was crying, he especially liked to blink and squeeze tears.
The emperor hadn't seen him cry for more than 30 years, and he looked very pitiful. He couldn't help but remind him that when he was a young prince, he bullied him all the time.But King Pingan is a simple and simple person, no matter how many times he bullies him, after crying, he will follow behind his ass happily next time, and let him order.
The emperor felt sorry for his simple cousin, and comforted him: "This Taoist priest is indeed harmful! But you don't have to rush to make a diagnosis. I'll let Gao Boming take a good look at it for you."
King Pingan also knew that he couldn't be too sad in front of the emperor, after all, after he died, his children would have to rely on the emperor to take care of him.So she stopped her tears and nodded obediently.
Not long after, Gao Boming came to see him, and after taking the pulse of King Ping'an, he listened to King Ping'an's explanation of his worries.Gao Boming personally fetched "Secret Stories Next Door" to read carefully, and then told him not to worry about it.
"It is said in the book that this poison is caused by years and years. I will take two pills occasionally and it will not cause death. I will prescribe a prescription for the prince to detoxify. There are also things to pay attention to in terms of diet. As long as you take a little care On this day, the prince's body will definitely return to its original state, and there will be no poison left."
After hearing this, King Pingan looked at the emperor embarrassedly, then asked Gao Boming in a low voice to confirm if it was true.He forced Gao Boming to almost raise his hand to swear before he believed it. Then he embarrassingly apologized to the emperor, and hurriedly left in embarrassment.
King Pingan didn't realize it until he left the door. He forgot about the matter of pursuing the crime of the Songshan layman, but he couldn't go back and forth. Thinking about the emperor's wisdom, he should deal with it according to the circumstances.
King Pingan walked back uncertainly, and happened to meet Song Xi, so he pulled Song Xi and asked him if he was going to meet the saint.
Song Xi nodded slightly.
King Ping angrily told him that he had taken the poisonous elixir, "Thanks to "Secrets of Neighbors" for exposing this matter, fortunately I only took two pills. Doctor Gao said that if I continue to take it, This body really can’t be saved, it’s scary to think about it.”
Song Xi: "Then you have to remember the life-saving grace of "Secret Stories Next Door"."
"Of course I will remember when I, King Pingan, was an ungrateful person. I also want to thank the scholar, but this person is too mysterious, and I don't know who it is. There is no way to repay the favor." King Pingan said innocently. Shrugged.He is over 40 years old, but in front of the young and stable Song Xi, he looks more like a child.
Song Xi smiled lightly, "Sooner or later." Then he said goodbye to King Pingan and left.
King Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he hadn't finished speaking, and he wanted to ask Song Xi to help him make up his premise in the holy place, and deal with the Taoist priest who unscrupulously used pills to harm people, but he forgot again.Seeing that Song Xi was also gone, he didn't want to chase after him rudely, so he sighed, thinking that his brain was not functioning because of the poison he had taken, so he rolled up his sleeves and went home to take the antidote to nourish himself.
……
Jia Amnesty was relieved to hear that after the release of the new issue, it did not cause any controversy, and it was very convincing to let everyone realize the poison of the elixir.
Regarding the disposal of Layman Songshan, Jia Amnesty hesitated at first. Although he did not do it out of malice, it is a fait accompli fact that he caused human injury.
However, Jia Amnesty still wanted to prevent him from dying under the violence of the poisoned people, so before the release of "Secrets of the Neighbors", he had already invited Master Songshan to Gyeonggi Province.
Layman Songshan is stubborn in the face of the evidence. He still refuses to admit that there is something wrong with his elixir, and insists that he is kind enough to share the elixir that prolongs life with everyone. He has done a good deed with good intentions. He shouldn't be so maliciously speculated.
Seeing him like this, Liu Zhizhong, the Prime Minister of Gyeonggi Prefecture, was helpless, but he didn't order anyone to torture him.Because Layman Songshan has limited mobility and needs to travel in a wheelchair, his limbs occasionally twitch, and his complexion is extremely unwell.Liu Zhizhong invited a doctor to see him, and found that this person's body was extremely sick, and his "ascension to immortality" would not be long.
Liu Zhizhong didn't care what he did, but asked someone to temporarily place him in a wing room in Gyeonggi Prefecture.Now only relying on "Secrets of the Neighborhood" cannot be used as criminal evidence to deal with Layman Songshan.Unless someone sues him in the name of the victim, Gyeonggi Prefecture can use this as evidence for investigation.
Regarding the matter of dealing with the follow-up of Layman Songshan, Jia Amnesty became the hands-off shopkeeper again, regardless of how Gyeonggi Province handled it.In the past two days, because of Yuan Chun's marriage, he was busy at home, and he also took Mrs. Yin to the warehouse of the Song Mansion to choose, found a few suitable gifts, and added a dowry to Yuan Chun.
On the eighteenth day, Yuan Chun got married in a grand manner.
Wei Qingdong rode a tall horse with a red face and a smile on his face, and took his new wife back.
Jia Amnesty watched the newlyweds off, feeling a little apprehensive.After all, the ancient marriage model did not allow men and women to get along too much, and Jia Amnesty was really afraid that the young couple would not get along after marriage, but he couldn't regret it and start over again.
Fortunately, he was overthinking.
Three days later, when Yuan Chun and Wei Qingdong returned home, the couple were full of happiness and their smiles were genuine.
Jia She could see that Yuan Chun was very satisfied with this marriage, and also liked her husband who admired her very much.And Wei Qingdong looked at Yuan Chun with loving eyes, as if "my wife is the most beautiful in the world".
Seeing that their husband and wife were so happy, Jia She was relieved.
Wei Qingdong just stayed at Jia Mu's place for a while, and then came to see Jia She, thanking him for the marriage introduction.
"You're being polite. If you treat her like this every day in the future, we should thank you and trouble you to take good care of our Jia family girl in the future. Have you paid homage to your father-in-law?"
"I'm going." Wei Qingdong said.
"Go quickly, compliment him more, say something nice, he will like you." Jia She reminded.
Wei Qingdong hurriedly agreed with a smile, then stepped back, led people out of the West Corner Gate, and went to Jia Zheng's office to greet him.
As soon as Jia She was free, he saw the black pig running back in a hurry and said to him out of breath, "Master, someone is telling a story in the teahouse, accusing you of being a corrupt official and a traitor."
Jia Amnesty looked at him suspiciously: "Since it is a false accusation, you know how to deal with it." Sue the government and arrest him.
Zhu Mao stomped his feet angrily, "That's why he's angry. He didn't mention his name, but just replaced it with someone. Although he said it in a vague way, it fits your identity."
anonymous?
Jia Amnesty sneered, which was a bit interesting, learning the tricks used in the first issue of "Secret Stories Next Door".
The author has something to say: Tip: The case of Layman Songshan is different from the case of sudden death.
Layman Songshan: The elixir I make is delicious, I eat it myself, and I share it with love for everyone to eat, why are you wronging me!
Jia Amnesty: I am sick.
Layman Songshan: You are the only one who is sick, and your whole family is sick. Come, come, open your mouth, and take medicine!The medicine cannot be stopped!
Song Xi: I am his husband.
Layman Songshan: (horrified) Yes, sorry, Mr. Song.
Jia Amnesty: (to Song Xi) Ignore that kind of person, where are we going tonight?
Song Xi: Enjoy the scenery.
Jia Amnesty: What scene?
Song Xi: Burning Lazi Mountain
