Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 158 It's time to end the scholar's case

"Li Shilang was paralyzed and fell ill, so he couldn't come?"

As night fell, torches were lit up and down the Xuanwu Gate, but Li Zhi, who had waited for a long time, received such a reward from the servant, but his expression was calm and he fell silent.

After a while, the sage's weak voice reached the servant's ear: "Let the doctor Liu Yu from the imperial medical office go and diagnose Li Shilang. He is Sun Zhenzhen's personal disciple and has excellent medical skills. I can rest assured."

Empress Wu listened on the sidelines, knowing that this was reassuring, which can be described as a pun.

If Li Jingxuan followed Yang Su's story and refused to take the medicine prescribed by the doctor, and died of illness in bed, then Li Zhi would give up and spare Li's family.

If Li Jingxuan's desire for power persists and he still wants to make a comeback, he will follow in the footsteps of the drug dealers and Yi tribes.

Ming Chongyan, who was below, didn't know the conversation on the city, his eyes were shining, and he just wanted to see Li Jingxuan's ashen expression.

I didn't expect to not come, the sage above has passed down the decree.

Everyone no longer waited, and sent the pills into the pill furnace, destroying them batch by batch.

When all the Yundan were turned into completely inedible waste, the Emperor of the City returned to the palace, and the Emperor of the City also returned home.

Ming Chongyan stared fixedly at the inside of the alchemy furnace, and then took the opportunity of farewell to salute Li Yan heavily.

it is more than words.

Li Yan returned the salute with a happy mood.

No matter how tortuous the process was, the unsolved case was finally revealed and the murderer was brought to justice.

But don't slack off.

And one more thing.

The real culprit of the scholar poisoning case.

The murderer may have been a victim once, but in this case, he was already the perpetrator.

Not only killed the scholar Zhang Yang, but also caused more than [-] poisoned scholars to miss this year's imperial examination.

And Li Yan avenged the people who died in Jiangnan, and it was logical for him to arrest the murderer and close the case and end everything.

"Make it a conclusion!"

……

In the early morning of the ninth day, Li Yan took Di Renjie and Guo Yuanzhen with him, selected a team of inspectors, and walked to the imperial palace.

In front of the school, Imperial Physician Chen was talking to two medical assistants.

Li Yan thought they were discussing medical issues, but when he listened closer, he realized that they were actually talking about monthly exams.

The medical subjects in the Tang Dynasty were actually divided into fine sections. All students studying in the Imperial Medical Office had a school system.

For example, the academic system of Physical Therapy (Internal Medicine) is 3 years, the academic system of Sore Tumor (Surgery) and Juvenile Pediatrics (Pediatrics) is 5 years, the academic system of Ophthalmology and Dentistry (ENTology) is 4 years, and the academic system of Angle Surgery (external treatment) The schooling period is 3 years.

In the process of studying in the past few years, there have been a lot of assessments. The professors and doctors of each subject have to take monthly exams, and the Imperial Physician Order has a quarterly exam every quarter. Finally, Taichang Temple conducts a general exam at the end of the year.

According to such a learning system, every student who graduates from the Imperial Medical Department will be a qualified doctor.

Unfortunately, the actual situation often has a large gap.

Because there were not so many qualified doctors in ancient times, there were more quack doctors than good doctors, and not everyone among good doctors was suitable to be a doctor and teach the next generation.

Ever since, the system of the Imperial Medical Administration is very good, but due to the lack of sufficient teachers, it is unable to train qualified students from generation to generation, and eventually has to become a teacher-student mentor.

For example, the two medical assistants following Doctor Chen are two of his apprentices, equivalent to graduate students led by his mentor.

Seeing Li Yan leading the team, he stepped forward to salute: "Li Jiyi, these are my two apprentices, they are mainly taking care of the patients during this time."

Both parties greeted each other by name, and Imperial Physician Chen left.

Li Yan smiled: "You two have worked hard, how is the poisoned scholar after eight days of cultivation?"

The elder Dr. Hu said: "Returning to Li Jiyi, the sage has given a lot of medicinal materials to replenish vitality. At present, the scholars are all awake, but some people are weak. Even if they fall asleep occasionally during the day, they can still be interrogated."

Li Yan nodded: "Very good, give me the list."

He had judged before that the murderer who poisoned and silenced was hidden in this group of patients in all likelihood.

But at that time, all the scholars were vomiting and diarrhea, and were basically in a coma, unable to ask questions at all.

If you wait for the poisoned scholar to recover, the time will pass day by day, and you will be very anxious.

But after finding out the Jiangnan bloody case, and looking back at this case, not only the motive is clear, but also the scholar has been recuperated and can answer normally.

However, Li Yan picked up the list and scanned it, but he was a little strange: "How come there are many scholars in Chang'an Liuxue who are poisoned?"

After taking care of them during this period of time, Dr. Hu has already learned by heart: "Thirty-five scholars from other states were poisoned, and [-] scholars from Beijing were poisoned, a total of [-] people were poisoned."

Li Yan thought for a while and began to assign tasks: "Huaiying, the scholars from other states will be entrusted to you. You are from the Mingjing Department. Talk to them and understand the situation."

Di Renjie said calmly, "I understand."

Li Yan said again: "Yuan Zhen, the scholars in Beijing are entrusted to you. You are originally a scholar of this department, and you have some common topics with them. Let's find out how the murdered Zhang Shizi recommended the elixir to them. .”

Guo Yuanzhen lifted his spirits: "Yes!"

However, after hearing this, Dr. Hu hesitated to speak. After thinking about it, he still dared not hide it, and said in a low voice: "Li Jiyi, during my treatment, I heard a saying that Zhang Shizi's elixir was originally not willing to be sold to Beijing. The inner scholar’s ​​was later taken away by force.”

Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "Speak carefully."

Doctor Hu didn't dare to make up, and looked at the other person: "Junior Brother Kong, you told me this matter, or you should explain it to Li Jiyi, don't exaggerate, understand?"

Kong Yizuo is the youngest, less than twenty years old, and has not reached the crown yet. He couldn't hold back for a long time. Hearing this, he immediately said: "Don't worry, brother, I will tell the truth! Li Jiyi is a scholar in Beijing." Bullying people, taking pills by force, and beating Zhang Shizi, even unwilling to give money! Such actions are really against the style of the Six Schools!"

Li Yan's face sank: "Who is the leader?"

Doctor Kong said: "It's Li Shouyi, the concubine's son of Li Shilang, the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, and the remaining Chang'an scholars who take pills are all his followers, and they have always been arrogant!"

Li Yan was startled, Di Renjie stroked his beard, and Guo Yuanzhen showed disdain.

Why is there this one every time I do something bad!
Li Yan's heart moved, and he asked again: "Li Shouyi led Chang'an scholars to bully Zhang Yang, which scholar from other states said that?"

Doctor Kong said: "Many people have seen it and bullied them more than once. I heard that Li Shilang likes to abuse his wives and concubines the most. Maybe..."

"Cough! Cough!"

Doctor Hu hurriedly coughed tactically, and finally blocked the second half of the junior sentence.

Li Yan laughed.

A few days ago, let alone the powerful Li Jingxuan, these medical assistants would never dare to speak ill of Li Shou.

But now, although Li Jingxuan is still the prime minister, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is finished, and these medical officials have started to speak ill.

What do you mean by the end of the world?

This is called the general trend is over.

Of course, if it were the old and prudent Imperial Physician Chen, even if Li Jingxuan were to collapse, he would not be talkative.

The young man is full of vigor, Dr. Kong Zuo's brows are full of anger, obviously very dissatisfied with Li Jingxuan's behavior of abusing his wife and making a show of mourning.

Li Yan smiled: "That being the case, follow Guo Wuwei to Li Shouyi's house and check it out! Huaiying, you should go talk to the scholars from other states, and learn about Zhang Shizi's being bullied."

"Yes!"

Di Renjie followed Dr. Hu to meet scholars from other states, and Guo Yuanzhen took Dr. Kong to visit scholars from Chang'an.

"Li Shouyi, Li Jingxuan's other son was implicated in the scholar poisoning case..."

"Is it a coincidence? Or did the murderer deliberately lure him into the game?"

Li Yan thought for a while, then walked towards Guo Yuanzhen.

He wanted to see what kind of person this Li Shouyi was.

……

Guo Yuanzhen led a group of inspectors to the northeast corner of the school.

The room there is the most spacious, and the wind and rain outside obviously did not disturb this group of scholars. They gathered together and were reading...

Weird.

Today's imperial examinations are over, and I'm still learning a fart, so we all get together to play chess.

Instead of the black and white chess pieces that are common in later generations, they use colorful glazed chess pieces, which have always been loved by nobles.

Seeing that the two sides were about to decide the winner, a young gentleman saw that he was about to lose, the scholar next to him suddenly stumbled and fell on the chessboard, stretched out his hand and pushed the chess piece to the ground.

When Xiao Lang saw it, he said, "Why are you so careless? Let's do it all over again!"

The scholar on the other side, who was about to win, heaved a sigh of relief: "I feel ashamed to be a great talent, so let's change!"

Your level is too stinky, I can't even pass the chess, so I quickly changed people to torture.

The rest of the scholars looked at each other in blank dismay, and could only superficially cheer: "I'll come! I'll come!"

The young gentleman who was surrounded in the middle was Li Shouyi, who smiled and waved his hands: "Don't fight, don't grab, come one by one, come one by one!"

When Guo Yuanzhen went in, he saw this scene.

He was a little puzzled: "How did these scholars in Beijing recover so quickly?"

Dr. Kong said: "It's no different than other states. Their home has sent tonics, and they will recover quickly..."

Guo Yuanzhen nodded and said, "Isn't it Li Shouyi? I'm the inner guard. I need to ask you about the scholar's poisoning case."

When a group of people came in, the scholars had already discovered it, but they found that the leader, Guo Yuanzhen, was only wearing a green robe, and the lowest rank eighth and ninth rank officials ignored him.

At this moment, the name roll was called, but Li Shouyi didn't even bother to get up: "I'm just recovering from poisoning, my body is weak, and I can't stand it. If you want to ask anything, just ask them."

Several scholars got up immediately and introduced with pride: "Li Langjun's father is Li Shilang of Xitai. Your Excellency wants to ask Li Langjun. I'm afraid it's inconvenient. I'll wait for you!"

Guo Yuanzhen smiled, stepped forward, and cupped his hands: "It turns out he is the prime minister's son, disrespectful and disrespectful..."

Li Shouyi ignored it and started to play chess, but the corners of his mouth turned up in a proud arc.

Then came the second half of Guo Yuanzhen's sentence:
"It's just that your father is paralyzed, you know?"

　Thanks to the book friends "Niu Wuji", "Rogeotarifus", "The World Turns into Ashes", "Death X5" and "Cold Pudding" for their rewards.
