Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Chapter 118
Although he lived in Gu's house for the time being, Li Quan still had to go to Dali Temple to be on duty, and Bai Sanxiu was handed over the job of questioning.Because Gu Mingyuan had ordered in advance, no one in the Gu family questioned her identity, and they all cooperated.

Bai Sanxiu first found the maid and servant who were serving Gu Xinrong, and asked them separately to make notes.

"When old doctor Gu passed away, what symptoms did you have?"

"Headache, vomiting blood. The headache lasted for about two days before he died, ah, and there was another convulsion."

"What did you eat?"

"It's just a normal meal. But when the master was dying, his gums were so swollen that he basically ate liquid food. Sometimes he vomited after eating."

"I heard that the old doctor believes in talismans and Taoism?"

"Yes. I have invited someone to do it for a while, and Master Fu Huishui drank it all."

"Did you not stop him?"

The little servant said helplessly: "Hey, the third young master is trying to persuade him, but the master has a stubborn temper and doesn't listen. If he is not allowed to drink, he still loses his temper. We dare not disobey him too much, for fear that something bad will come out of our anger."

"Has he always believed that?"

The boy thought for a while, "I have been serving the master for almost ten years. He is very trustworthy. He used to ask Taoist magicians for fortune-telling and so on, but it's only a few months to ask people to do it so frequently."

"why?"

"Master is getting old, he seems to have auditory hallucinations, and he always says that there are ghosts haunting him or something."

"When did the hallucinations start?"

"Probably... about a year before his death."

The servant girl's answer was almost the same as the boy's, but she added: "But those are old problems."

"You mean headaches, convulsions, and vomiting?"

"Yeah. When I have convulsions, I also salivate, which is similar to epilepsy."

After all, she is a maid from a medical family, and her words are quite professional.

"Are there any other symptoms?"

"There are many symptoms of geriatric diseases, and the master has them. Like blurred vision, numbness of limbs, occasional incontinence or something."

"How long will it last?"

"It's hard to say. One or two years? The symptoms are intermittent."

"How did the old man diagnose himself?"

"Master thinks it's because he's getting old. After all, apart from headaches and auditory hallucinations, other symptoms are not very frequent. The third young master also prescribed some tonics, and Master Fangzi also approved it."

"Some time before his death, was there anything unusual?"

"Hmm...not really, it's just that the symptoms have become more serious and the frequency of attacks has also increased. I also think that it may be drinking water. After all, the right amount of cinnabar is medicine, and it is poisonous if used too much."

Bai Sanxiu asked the kitchen about Gu Xinrong's eating habits and the menu of the two years before his death, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his meals.After asking around, what the servants recalled was basically consistent with Gu Mingyuan's diagnosis, and they were constantly verifying his judgment on the direct cause of Gu Xinrong's death.

But... She looked at the list of diseases listed in the shorthand notebook, and felt something was wrong in her heart.Although Gu Xinrong is indeed getting older, isn't his illness a bit too much?

Because most of the symptoms are not frequent on a daily basis, they didn't attract the attention of others, even including himself, and he didn't care much.After all, when there is no seizure, the old man is still in good condition.That is to say, Bai Sanxiu is now purposefully asking one by one, and everyone recalls carefully, only to find out that there are so many symptoms together.

Finally, Bai Sanxiu went to ask the young lady of the Gu family.The third child, Gu Mingyuan, had already asked, so she went directly to the second child, Gu Chengzhu.The second child is in charge of managing the pharmacy. Gu Xinrong's medicines and supplementary medicines are naturally taken from his own pharmacy, and the dosage of one yuan and one tael is recorded.Bai Sanxiu didn't know medical skills, and couldn't see anything, so she went to find her boss, Gu Chengyan.

The boss is not at all interested in curing illnesses and saving lives. He likes jade. He moved out of the Gu family to start a jade business in his early years.Bai Sanxiu asked so many people, he was the first one to throw a face at her.

"The third one is the same, please ask Dali to straighten up?" Gu Chengyan frowned, and said impatiently, "Since the old man has already left, he should separate the family quickly and make such a mess."
