[Sword Three + Seven Five] Medicine does not heal itself

Zhan Zhao asked Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and Ma Han to guard outside the Grand Master's Mansion, and he himself guarded the Songbai Garden by virtue of his superb lightness kung fu.After three nights in a row, some traces were finally found.

Unexpectedly, the crying of the so-called Xueye ghost boy was deliberately made by a master of lightness kung fu.When Zhan Zhao was chasing the opponent, he found that the figure in night clothes looked familiar.

That person's lightness kungfu is good, but his martial arts is mediocre.Zhan Zhao and the four guards cast a net, and finally captured him to Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhan Zhao found drugs, blood bags and a pair of children's shoes on him.This person was the one who stunned Songbaiyuan with drugs, left footprints with those shoes, and smeared the blood in the blood bag on Old Madam Pang's mouth.

It's just that no matter how Bao Gong and Mr. Gongsun interrogated him, the man didn't say a word, and he didn't want to confess anything.

"Mr. Gongsun is still studying these two things?" Zhan Zhao asked curiously when he saw that Gongsun Ce was still playing with the drugs and the blood bag that he found from the person who packed the cabinet.

Mr. Gongsun said, "Guard Zhan, look at this drug, it's much rarer than those sweat drugs and smoke!"

"It's just a drug, so how can it be good or bad?" Zhan Zhao said.

"The difference is huge! No matter whether it is sweat medicine or smoke, people who have been drugged will more or less have sequelae such as headaches when they wake up, but this drug will not. It can make people unconscious quickly, but after receiving After being stimulated by the outside world, Chinese medicine practitioners will quickly wake up again. Didn't you say that those people in the Taishi Mansion guarding the Songbai Garden didn't even know that they had been stunned?"

"Not bad! This is really what Zhan Zhao doesn't understand."

"This is the magic of this drug. It has a certain hallucinogenic effect. People who use traditional Chinese medicine faint after hallucinations, and wake up when they are stimulated. Therefore, they think that they are falling asleep uncontrollably, and only wake up when they hear ghosts crying. Therefore I firmly believe in ghosts." Gongsun Ce squeezed the blood bag, "And there is this blood bag, which contains human blood!"

"What?" Zhan Zhao was taken aback, "Human blood?"

"That's right. The blood should have coagulated when taken from a human body, but look at this blood bag. In such a cold day, it has not coagulated at all. It looks like it has just been drawn." Gongsun Ce put the blood in the blood bag Poured a little into the bowl, "I'm afraid there is some kind of potion added to it."

"Mr. Gongsun doesn't know either?"

Gongsun Ce shook his head.

"Human blood? These people actually killed people in order to pretend to be ghosts in the Grand Master's Mansion?"

Gongsun Ce smiled and shook his head: "It's just a small bag of human blood, there is no need to kill people."

"No need to kill?"

"The total blood volume of a normal adult's body accounts for about 8% of the body weight, that is, an adult will have about five or six catties of blood. Under normal circumstances, about one-fifth to one-quarter of the blood is reserved in the body. It’s not necessary, it’s only released under special circumstances to participate in blood circulation. So if you take half a catty of blood from an adult, it won’t harm your body, and naturally you don’t need to kill anyone!”

Zhan Zhao smiled: "That's true! People in the Jianghu are often injured, and they don't die with a little blood. I just didn't expect Mr. Gongsun to study this so much."

"It's not me who has researched it!" Gongsun Ce said seriously, "This is what Dr. Fu said when I talked with Mr. Fu and Dr. Fu at the residence of Mr. Fu in the Hanlin Medical Official Academy. Dr. Fu said at that time that if a The wounded are seriously injured and have lost too much blood, and the wounded can be saved by sending the same type of blood to the wounded.”

"Crossing blood to save people, this Dr. Fu is worthy of the title of magic doctor." Zhan Zhao said with emotion, "It's just that Mr. Gongsun or ordinary people would not think of taking blood from ordinary people without hearing what Dr. Fu said. No harm?"

After all, traditionally, people have always believed that blood is very important, and blood loss is the loss of human energy.

"Miraculous drugs, human blood that can not freeze immediately, this Doctor Fu just happens to know a lot about medicine and even human blood, isn't it suspicious?"

"It's not unreasonable for Zhan Wei to say that." Gongsun Ce said in a deep voice.

Fu Yuxue has unique insights both in medicine and autopsy, and Gongsun Ce really doesn't want her to get involved.

"Besides, I've always felt that the man pretending to be a ghost we caught was similar to the Jianghu man who went to Baicao Hall before. That day in the backyard of Yuxu Temple, Doctor Fu also behaved very strangely."

Gongsun Ce nodded: "This Doctor Fu is indeed very suspicious. However, Doctor Fu is from the Jianghu. As far as I know, it should be the first time for her to come to the capital. How could she have an enmity with the Grand Master's Mansion and instigate people to scare her?" Mrs. Pang?"

"Old Madam Pang is a woman who rarely leaves the mansion. The person pretending to be a ghost only goes to the Songbai Garden, obviously targeting the old Madam Pang alone." Zhan Zhao pondered, "Furthermore, Mr. Gongsun Don't you think it's strange? Why, the person who pretends to be a ghost knows the old affairs of the Grand Master's Mansion. If he didn't know about the death of the young daughter of the Grand Master Pang in 12 years, how could he pretend to be the second girl and take her life?"

Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao analyzed the case, but still had many doubts.The two discussed and decided to go to Baicaotang to meet Fu Yuxue early tomorrow morning.

It's just that they didn't expect that before they went out, they received a new piece of news: Pang Shou, the third housekeeper of the Grand Master's Mansion, died last night!

"It's strange that the three chief managers of the Grand Master's Mansion died in one year!" Wang Chao said with emotion.

"It's not a good thing anyway, it's better to die!" Ma Han muttered.

People in Kaifeng Mansion have always had a bad sense of Taishi Mansion, not to mention that Pang Fu was committed by Bao Gong, but it was Ming Zheng's punishment.Pang Lu, who was drowned in the lotus pond before, also used his status as the head of the Grand Master's Mansion to show off his might to them.

"How did Pang Shou die?" Gongsun Ce asked suddenly.

"Hanging himself and leaving a suicide note. He said that he dereliction of duty, embezzled the house's silver, etc., and molested the little girl in the house. I didn't expect the little girl to hit the wall and die. But, the strange thing is that according to the suicide note investigation by the Taishi Mansion, the little girl The girl died a year ago."

Gongsun Ce sighed: "Perhaps the haunting incident is aimed at Nanny Liang who is next to Taijun Pang. I have inquired about the personnel relations in Taishi's mansion, and the three managers of Fu Lu Shou are all Madam Liang who is next to Taijun. Whether Pang Lu fell into the lotus pond and drowned or Pang Shou hanged himself, nothing seemed suspicious."

Because there is no evidence, Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao went to Baicao Hall in the name of visiting.

"Master Zhan, Mr. Gongsun, I'm really sorry, my master is ill and cannot see guests!"

"Sick again? Dr. Fu is a doctor himself, why is he so careless? Could it be that he was infected with a cold again?" Gongsun Ce smiled and said, "It is said that doctors don't heal themselves. If the shopkeeper can rest assured of his medical skills, why don't you let me go in and visit him for a while? ?”

When the shopkeeper was hesitating, he saw a maidservant in green clothes come out, and said with a coquettish smile: "Shopkeeper Wang, the master said, even if you can stop Mr. Gongsun, I'm afraid you can't stop Master Zhan. It’s better to openly let people in.”

Saying that, the green-clothed maidservant walked up to Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao, bowed Yingyingly: "The servant girl is the master's maidservant, gold and silver, please guard Zhan, Mister Gongsun, come with me."

"Thank you, miss!" Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao exchanged glances, and followed the maid into the backyard.

Just like Zhan Zhao came uninvited last time, Fu Yuxue was huddled in a chair in fox fur.The legs were covered with a thick cashmere blanket, and there was a brazier and a small red clay stove for boiling water.

Entering the room, there is a burst of hot air oncoming, almost making people sweat.

And Fu Yuxue was indeed sweating, with thin beads of sweat hanging on her white face.A maid beside her was wringing out a hot towel and rubbing her face with it.

"Mr. Gongsun, guard Zhan, please sit down! Pour tea from jade leaves!"

"No!" Gold, silver and jade leaves are all Chinese medicine names, but they don't sound like medicine names, but rather like the names Fu Yuxue would choose.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty, I don't know what kind of disease Dr. Fu is suffering from, but—"

"It's impossible to be cured by combining myself and the power of Yaowang Villa, right?" Fu Yuxue sneered, but she didn't intend to answer, "Did Li Qing be captured by Kaifeng Mansion?"

"The Kaifeng Mansion did catch a thief last night, but he refused to say anything, so we don't know his name!" Zhan Zhao replied.

But Fu Yuxue didn't get entangled with it, and said directly: "With Li Qing's ability, there are only five people in the capital who can trap him at this time. Excluding the palace guards and Bai Yutang, there are no more guards. Therefore, Li Qing last night If he didn't come back on time, I knew he had missed."

Fu Yuxue took a sip of hot tea and said, "Sure enough, there can't be such an idea for the last time in this world. I thought last night was the last time I made a move, but I was caught by the guards!"

Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce didn't know what to say for a while, just as they didn't understand Fu Yuxue's purpose, they couldn't understand why Fu Yuxue was so calm.

"This matter was instigated by me. Li Qing is just a ventriloquist in the Jianghu. I forced him to do things for me with my old kindness. If you want to know anything, you can only find me. Li Qing doesn't know the inside story."

Zhan Zhao didn't think that an ordinary ventriloquist would have such good lightness skills.However, Li Qing didn't know why Fu Yuxue asked him to pretend to be a ghost to scare Mrs. Pang, but it might be true.

"Then why did Doctor Fu make people pretend to be ghosts to frighten Old Madam Pang?" Gongsun Ce said after a long while.

"I hate that old woman!" Fu Yuxue chuckled, "Mr. Gongsun, don't you know that I always do what I like to do, and the reason is not important at all."

"But--"

"By the way! Does the law of the Song Dynasty have such an old rule about pretending to be a ghost and serving as a servant?" Fu Yuxue said suddenly, "Mr. Gongsun should know something because he has read a lot of books, right?"

"Does the death of Pang Lu and Pang Shou have anything to do with you?"

"Did the Grand Master's Mansion sue Kaifeng Mansion for these two people?" Fu Yuxue said.

This era emphasizes that the people do not prosecute officials and do not prosecute. Except for life lawsuits, no one sues, and the government will not easily pursue them.Pang Lu and Pang Shou are servants of the Grand Master's Mansion, and the Kaifeng Mansion can only accept it if the Taishi Mansion or his family members file a complaint!

After being told by Fu Yuxue, Gongsun Ce came to his senses. Unless he could find out the suspicious cause of Pang Lu and Pangshou's death, or the Grand Master's Office sued Fu Yuxue, otherwise, there was really no crime and he could invite her over.
