Chapter 235 The Final Winner Is The Doctor

"Impossible? The art of witchcraft is definitely not a deception. There are also many cases of people dying from the art of witchcraft. How can this be explained?"

Concubine Liu Xian couldn't bear it any longer, rushed out in a hurry, and sternly denied.

It was with great difficulty that she trampled Empress Meng under her feet. Seeing that she was about to ascend to the position of empress, how could she be easily destroyed by Fan Zheng.

At the moment, Zhao Xu couldn't help frowning. The royal family strictly forbids the art of witchcraft, so they naturally believed in the art of witchcraft, but now that Fan Zheng publicly exposed the art of witchcraft, he was dubious.

Fan Zheng smiled wryly and said: "The success of witchcraft is nothing more than a coincidence! There is a kind of deception in the folk called Guanyin Pleading for a Child! It is similar to the success of witchcraft to harm people."

"Avalokitesvara begging for a child?"

The faces of many of the officials changed, obviously they had used this technique before.

"In Chinese tradition, only boys can pass on the incense. Many families are eager for boys, which gives scammers an opportunity. They claim that they can worship under the Guanyin Gate, buy their charms at a high price, and drink their water, and they can conceive a boy! Otherwise, the refund will be invalid."

Fan Zheng slowly explained the process of Guanyin seeking a child.

"Baby boy, invalid refund, it's not a lie!" Zhao Xu said puzzled.

Su Song shook his head and said, "A solitary yang does not give birth, a solitary yang does not give birth, a solitary yin does not grow, and a boy is born, how is it possible?"

Manchu civil and military could not help but frown, this is simply impossible.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said, "Of course it's impossible! However, according to the research of doctors, the chance of having a boy or a girl is half, so what they earn is the money of the half who gave birth to a boy."

"what!"

All the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all the elites of the Song Dynasty, and they instantly understood the key to the deception of Guanyin's begging for a child, and couldn't help but laugh.

Concubine Liu Xian asked stupidly: "What is the relationship between Guanyin's trick of seeking a child and the art of witchcraft?"

Zhao Xu glanced helplessly at Concubine Liu Xian and said, "Those who died because of witchcraft, just like those who give birth to boys, are destined to be born, and have nothing to do with witchcraft or Guanyin's begging for a child."

Concubine Liu Xian immediately faltered when she heard the words: "Impossible? I have a witchcraft in my body. In recent days, I always feel flustered, chest tight, and my expression is in a trance. How can it be okay?"

Concubine Liu Xian's words were not just pretending. In order to completely bring down Empress Meng, she did not hesitate to put herself in danger. Ever since she learned that Yan had cursed her with witchcraft, she has always been suspicious and in a trance for the past few days.

All the officials of the court also frowned, Fan Zheng's medical science popularization of witchcraft and Gu techniques, and Concubine Liu Xian's personal statement on the other, put everyone in a dilemma.

Seeing this, Fan Zheng sighed and said: "Since Meng Shi brought Fushui into the palace, I have been asking doctors to secretly investigate the witch doctor and witches in Kaifeng City. In the end, I found an unexpected discovery. Hao Sui, the eunuch of Xianfei Palace, seems to be very interested in witchcraft, and went outside the palace many times to contact witchcraft people."

"Hao Sui?"

Suddenly everyone was in an uproar, and immediately everyone looked at Concubine Liu Xian in disbelief.

"The officials are clearly aware that this is slander." Concubine Liu Xian panicked and cried out hastily.

Su Dun said again: "I would like to report to the officials that the matter of witchcraft in the palace is quite strange. Although Yan's practice of witchcraft, Longyou Palace and Xianfei Palace have always been at odds. It is impossible for Yan to quietly place witchcraft in Xianfei Palace."

Everyone couldn't help being stunned, could it be that Hao Sui and Yan's are in the same group.

Su Dun shook his head and said: "Hao Sui and the Yan family are not in the same group. According to Weichen's investigation, the matter of the Yan family's witchcraft was induced by Hao Sui, and the witchcraft items in Xianfei Palace were bought by Hao Sui outside the palace, in order to completely detonate the introduction of the witchcraft disaster at this time."

Suddenly everyone couldn't help being shocked, who would have thought that both Longyou Palace and Xianfei Palace would be involved in this scourge of witchcraft.

Zhao Xu said with a livid face, "Come here, arrest Hao Sui, and thoroughly investigate this matter."

soon!With Hao Sui's arrest, the scourge of witchcraft soon came to light.

........................

"So the cause of everything is Fuqing's illness, the talisman water brought into the palace by Mrs. Meng?" When Zhao Xu heard the whole story, he couldn't help being stunned.

At the beginning, he was aware of this matter, and generously did not pursue it, but he did not expect that it would cause a series of follow-ups.

Fan Zheng nodded helplessly.

"Then according to what Fan Taicheng said, how should we deal with this matter!" Zhao Xu said with a headache.

One is Empress Meng, the other is his love, and even the mother of his only prince. No matter how to deal with it, Fan Zheng has a lot of headaches.

Fan Zheng gave Zhao Xu a sympathetic look and said, "If the officials want to solve this problem perfectly, they must find the source of the witchcraft disaster."

"The source of the disease? Isn't it the cup of talisman water that Mrs. Meng brought into the palace?" Zhao Xu asked puzzled.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "No, Fu Shui is just an inducement, and the source of the disease is the intention of the government to abolish the empress."

"I am the source of the disease!" Zhao Xu was startled, and looked at Fan Zhengdao suddenly.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "That's right, the so-called wall is falling and everyone pushes it. The officials have the intention of abolishing the empress, so the queen and the Meng family have accidents one after another. It all seems reasonable, but just like this witchcraft disaster, there are people pushing behind it."

Zhao Xu was not a fool, so he quickly figured this out, and couldn't help but remain silent.

Fan Zhengdao: "When Fan was formulating the new household marriage law, he found that many people who did not love each other were forcibly arranged by their parents to marry and still lived their lives. Although there was no love between them, they got along with each other for a long time, coupled with the bondage of children, they became relatives. Does the official family really have no affection for the empress?"

"My dear!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but move, people are not grass and trees, how can one be ruthless, and when he seized power, Empress Meng stood by his side without hesitation, and generously promoted nearly thirty concubines, so he had one son and two daughters, plus the bondage of Princess Fuqing, this is why Zhao Xu has been hesitant to abolish the empress.

Empress Meng is not a relative better than a relative, Concubine Liu Xian is Zhao Xu's love, but now both of them are involved in witchcraft, which makes Zhao Xu in a dilemma.

Fan Zhenglang said: "The scourge of witchcraft has been poisonous for a long time. The scourge of witchcraft in the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was even more tragic. Many people among the people were harmed by witchcraft for life. Today, doctors finally confirmed that witchcraft is a hoax. The so-called curse of witchcraft is no different from cursing people. It is just a farce."

"There is no difference between witchcraft and cursing?"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard that, but he didn't refute Fan Zheng's words.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Now there are two choices before the officials. One is to follow the judgments of witchcraft in the past and severely punish Longyou Palace and Xianfei Palace to deter the harem. However, this method has many drawbacks. This matter will definitely spread all over the world, further promoting folk witchcraft, and even cults use witchcraft to plot against them."

Zhao Xu's face suddenly became serious. He understood that what Fan Zheng said was impossible. Many cults' rebellion is to deceive believers with witchcraft.

"If the officials regard the witchcraft incident as a farce, and the doctors will cooperate with the court to decipher the world's witchcraft, not only can this matter be resolved perfectly, but the people of the world will not be harmed by witchcraft." Fan Zheng said again, "Of course, all those involved in the witchcraft incident may be punished to a certain extent, so as to serve as an example to others."

Zhao Xu looked at Fan Zheng helplessly, Fan Zheng was using this witchcraft incident in the palace as medicine to cure the world's superstitious disease.

If the matter of witchcraft is treated as a farce, and the doctors try to decipher the technique of witchcraft again, everyone will shout and beat the witchcraft technique, and the influence of doctors will expand again.

Zhao Xu had no reason to refuse. Now that Fan Zheng has publicly proved that the so-called sorcery and witchcraft are nothing more than deceptive tricks, if he uses the most severe method to deal with witchcraft, he will probably be proven, and it will be detrimental to the stability of the government and the public.

Zhao Xu pondered for a moment and said: "Decree, Meng Shi entered the palace with talisman water, thought it was sympathetic, exempted him from punishment, deprived him of his reward, and will not be allowed to enter the palace in the future. Hearing Mrs. Xuan's nun's instructions, the enshrined official Wang Jian had the intention of murder, and the trial was carried out according to the law of the Song Dynasty.

Fan Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Xu convicted Yan and the others according to the criminal law, but not according to the curse of witchcraft, which greatly reduced the influence of this matter.

"The eunuch Hao Sui committed crimes against the superiors and harmed others! According to the palace rules, he was executed with a stick! Concubine Liu Xian mistook the villain and almost caused a catastrophe. She was demoted from a concubine to a royal attendant, and the prince Zhao Mao was handed over to Concubine Zhu to raise her personally." Zhao Xu issued another edict,

"The officials are wise!" Fan Zheng saluted solemnly.

What he worshiped was not Zhao Xu's decision on the harem, no matter what kind of decision it was, it was impossible to satisfy everyone in the harem. What really made Fan Zheng do this great gift to Zhao Xu was that Zhao Xu's move not only completely eliminated the scourge of witchcraft in the harem, but also dealt a big blow to folk witchcraft, and the people of the world would benefit from it in the future.

Soon, Zhao Xu's punishment spread throughout the palace.

"Official Shengming!"

There was shouting in the harem.

Once the misfortune of witchcraft in the past dynasties happened, countless people were involved, and everyone in the palace was in danger.

But now the officials regard the technique of witchcraft as a deception, and only use Song Xingtong to convict him, which can be described as extraordinarily merciful.

"Thank you, my concubine, for your kindness!" Empress Meng said gratefully.

Once upon a time, she felt a burst of despair. She was already out of favor, and the people around her were pretending to be smart one after another. Originally, she was destined to be left in the cold palace, but now she has turned around.

"Come here, send all the dowries of the Meng family out of the palace, and all the maids and eunuchs in Longyou Palace will strictly censor them." Empress Meng said decisively.

This time, she was completely disappointed in the Meng family and almost dragged her into the abyss twice in a row. Now she is already frightened by the old men of the Meng family.

In the palace of Concubine Xian!

As if Concubine Liu Xian was struck by lightning, she managed to climb from Master Attendant to Xian Concubine, and now she is only one step away from the position of Queen, but she never thought that she would be relegated to the position of Master Attendant again due to her carelessness.

What is even more unacceptable is that the prince Zhao Mao, whom she relied on to compete for favor, should be handed over to Concubine Zhu to be raised. In order to compete for favor, she refused to breastfeed prince Zhao Mao.

........................

When the news reached the court, the old and the new parties fell silent.

For the old party, it was a pleasant surprise to be able to keep Empress Meng's position as empress, and there was nothing else to ask for.

And the New Party was even more relieved. They never thought that Concubine Liu Xian would be involved in the scourge of witchcraft. Fortunately, Fan Zheng defined the scourge of witchcraft as a deception.

Now it is only reduced to Master Attendant, which shows that the officials still miss the old love, but I am afraid that they have fallen out of favor, and in addition, Zhao Mao has been handed over to Concubine Zhu to be raised, and the value of Concubine Liu Xian has been depleted.

"This is probably the best result!" Right Prime Minister Su Song sighed.

Lu Dafang and Zhang Dun looked at each other and nodded slightly. No matter how fierce the battle between the new party and the old party was, they did not want the disaster of witchcraft to repeat itself in Song Dynasty.

"Witchcraft is a deception!"

The misfortune of witchcraft in the palace quickly spread throughout Kaifeng City, and Fan Zheng's decipherment of the sorcery was accompanied by the misfortune of witchcraft.

"how can that be?"

Many people can't believe it at all. The witchcraft they believed to be true and regarded as a life-saving straw turned out to be fake.

"Changshou Daoist is a land god, and we have seen it with our own eyes!" There were also loyal believers in witchcraft who vetoed it.

"It's just a blindfold! The evil doctor Fan Zheng has already made their tricks known to the public." In Kaifeng City, a person who believed in medical skills sneered.

"Whether it's a blindfold or not, you'll know once you try it." Someone also said eagerly.

For a long time, witchcraft has been cast with a mysterious color. Now that Fan Zheng has disclosed the details of witchcraft to the public, how can the world not be curious.

Right now, in the city of Kaifeng!According to Fan Zheng's method of revealing the secrets, someone restored witchcraft in public.

Both turmeric and lye are common things, and soon, without any spells, without any spells, even anyone can kill evil spirits on the yellow paper, and everyone was in an uproar.

Afterwards, the talisman appeared!Fairy appears!Some people even bought a large amount of soybeans directly in the ground, and then put a Buddha statue on it!Water day and night.

Seeing the Buddha statue growing day by day, everyone no longer felt any awe in their hearts.

"My poor son!"

In the crowd, a mother cried bitterly.

She used to have a son, but she didn't believe in medicine, but she believed in witchcraft and the theory of ghosts and gods. She invited witches and gods to drive out ghosts and drink talisman water for her son, but she couldn't save him.

"Changshou Daoist has been arrested!"

As soon as this news came out, the city of Kaifeng was immediately shaken. Without him, Daoist Changshou was well-known in Kaifeng city, and he was the guest of many high-ranking officials.

As a father!Naturally, Fan Chunli strongly supported Fan Zheng, and in addition, he himself was extremely disgusted with witchcraft. After confirming that witchcraft was a deception, he immediately sent people to arrest Taoist Changshou for fraud.

Sure enough, in the residence of Taoist Changshou, a large amount of turmeric, alkali, green alum, and alum were found! ………… Wait, a series of things used in witchcraft and deception.

Under the overwhelming evidence, Taoist Changshou could only obediently bow his head and plead guilty, and even confessed a lot of voodoo tricks that Fan Zheng hadn't mastered yet, which made Fan Zheng's examples of revealing sorcery a lot more.

As Kaifeng City arrested witches and gods and revealed their deceptions, all parts of the Song Dynasty followed suit.

All of a sudden, the witchcraft, which Da Song regarded as mysterious, turned out to be a liar that everyone shouted and beaten. Fan Zheng knew what they knew, and Fan Zheng also knew what they didn't know. The witchcraft was hit hard in Song Dynasty.

Countless people who have been deceived by witchcraft are all suffering. If they hadn't believed in witchcraft, their relatives might still survive.

As the art of voodoo and Gu has completely become a street rat in the Song Dynasty, doctors have become the biggest winners. Everyone understands that once sick, the so-called praying to gods and Buddhas is useless, and only doctors can save lives.

Seek medical attention when sick!It has become a recognized matter in Song Dynasty.

All of a sudden, the prestige of doctors and physicians increased greatly.
