Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 559 Oleander

In Tongjifang, Wannian County, more than [-] people suddenly suffered from abdominal pain.

Jiang Baizhi, doctor of medicine from Yongzhou, led twenty medical students to Tongji Fang in a hurry.

After pouring salt water, the villagers vomited in a mess, and their spirits improved a little after the tears flowed down.

Just in case, the water source used for the salt water is taken from Tongshanfang next door.

The two-pronged approach of needles and medicine finally brought the situation of the residents under control.

This is a typical poisoning phenomenon.

Jiang Baizhi squinted her eyes and asked a medical student to gallop to Guangdefang to report.

After all, he is good at treating Jiang Baizhi, and it is not his job to investigate.

If the source cannot be found out and the person is treated once, there is no guarantee that the person will be poisoned again.

Fan Zheng from Yongzhou, Qi Guanzhi from Zhizhong, and Xin Ke from the Judiciary joined the army. Fifteen of them were majestic and majestic. .

The Baizhis scattered lime around the area where the incident occurred, and the men and women of Tongjifang were worried outside the circle, not knowing when this bad luck would fall on their heads.

After Xin Kedai confirmed that all were poisoned, he repeatedly asked the poisoned residents to confirm whether they had any daily intersection points.

Afterwards, Xin Kedai took out a simple map of Tongjifang and marked the houses of the poisoned residents, gradually forming an irregular circle.

Xin Kedai poked at the center of the circle: "What's here?"

A resident looked at it: "This location is a well, and my family draws water from this well for drinking."

"Me too."

"The water in this well is sweet, and the buns made are fragrant."

Bai Zhi quickly circled the well.

The diameter of the cylindrical well is nearly seven feet wide, and it is said that it is ten feet deep.

Chuan Asi diligently shook the potter's wheel, put down the bucket, and filled the bucket with water.

The water quality was clear, but the remaining petals on it made Xin Kedai undecided, so Jiang Baizhi had a look at it.

"Like peach blossoms, but peach blossoms are not poisonous." Jiang Baizhi was also uncertain.

Fan Zheng thought for a while: "This is not peach blossom, but oleander flower, which is native to Tianzhu."

This thing, with stems like bamboo and flowers like peaches, is highly toxic and can cause death, and the poison on a single leaf can cause death in infants.

Some people may say, why is this poisonous thing introduced?

It is a three-point drug, and oleander is a medicine that relieves pain, removes blood stasis, treats swelling and pain from bruises, diuretic, disinfects, treats heart failure and epilepsy, and has a great effect.

It was also thanks to the water well that diluted the toxicity of the oleander that no one died.

Jiang Baizhi didn't know this thing, because he entered the Tang Dynasty not long ago, and not many people knew about its characteristics.

There is not even a single person who has doubts about Fan Zheng's words.

Is it strange that Su Hui, who is rumored to be able to discuss the Tao with Master Popo, knows Oleander?

Jiang Baizhi's drug testing method was simple and rude, so a medical student grabbed a thin waist and poured down a bowl of well water.

The slender waist tied to the edge of the well house was still alive and kicking at first, but after a while it withered, and then rolled and howled on the ground.

Two bowls of salt water were poured down, and the thin waist vomited wildly. Finally, the pain stopped, but he lay on the ground weakly, his eyes full of resentment.

In this era, temples were the places most associated with things in Tianzhu, and the nearest Chuguo Temple in Jinchangfang was included in Facao's eyes.

The background of Chuguo Temple is a bit hard. It was established by Emperor Gaozu Taiwu for the fifth son of Chu King Li Zhiyun who died. It cannot be forced, so Chuan Asi can only ask Duvina to come.

"Amitabha, there are indeed oleanders in the Chu Kingdom Temple, and no matter what, they can't reach Tongjifang."

Duvina is very calm.

Fan Zheng said calmly: "Oleanders are poisonous and can be used as medicine. If you come to your temple, you will know it. Then, where are the oleanders planted, and who else can get in touch with them except monks?"

Duvina's complexion changed a little: "This thing has medicinal properties, the monks understand it, and it is also planted in front of the hut."

"If you say that apart from the monks, the only people who can go to the squatter's house are the miscellaneous households who collect night incense."

Fan Zheng pouted.

Look, the loophole is not out?

If such highly poisonous species are to be planted, they must be well cared for and not allowed to stray outside.

When miscellaneous households collect night incense, it is not too difficult to pick two oleanders by the way.

Here comes the question, the miscellaneous households who collect night incense for Chuguo Temple on a daily basis must live in Jinchangfang, so how can oleander petals appear in Tongjifang?
Duvina thought about it carefully: "Amitabha! On the thirteenth day of September, the miscellaneous households in Jinchang Fang did not arrive due to illness, and Fangzheng dispatched the miscellaneous households of Tongji Fang to collect night incense."

"At that time, the oleander flowers were still blooming."

The flowering period of oleander is from May to September under natural conditions, and it can be extended if there are geothermal conditions such as hot springs.

Fan Zheng raised his eyebrows: "After talking for so long, where is Tongji Fangzheng?"

Among the residents who had been detoxified, one arm was raised weakly.

"Remember to go back and tell Gongcao, let them publicize that Tongjifang is sharing weal and woe with the people."

Fan Zheng promoted a positive image at every turn.

Do not laugh!
Just tell me if this is true?

"Who was appointed by Rifang to help Chuguo Temple that day?" Xin Kedai asked with an unfriendly expression.

After a long time in the business of law and Cao, they all have evil intentions. Even if they were originally kind-hearted, they still look a little bit like hiding a knife in a smile.

In many cases, mercy cannot be judged.

Fangzheng pointed to a miscellaneous household with twinkling eyes outside the circle: "On that day, the villain sent Yu Wenlong to Chuguo Temple to Qingyexiang."

Yu Wenlong, I seem to have heard of this name before!
Like a wolf and a tiger, Bai Zhi crossed the line, pinned down Yu Wenlong who was like a chaff, and tied him up like a piglet.

"Grass people are wronged!"

Yu Wenlong cried bitterly and grabbed the ground with his head, vividly interpreting the image of a timid and timid miscellaneous household.

It's a pity that Xin Ke, on behalf of these old judges, has long been used to all kinds of performances, and was completely indifferent. He followed Fang Ding to Yu Wenlong's dilapidated house, and dug out a few dried oleander petals from a piece of rag.

"There are all witnesses and material evidence, let's argue again!"

Xin Ke slapped Yu Wenlong on his behalf.

Yu Wenlong restrained his miserable appearance before, and showed a ferocious smile: "I blame my inexperience. If I cast a few more pieces, I think the banquet will be held."

"Quack, so what if I did it? Does anyone know that in the past 22 years, my life is worse than death?"

"I wish I could turn into a plague god, make the world plagued by plagues, and let all living beings be buried with me!"

Xin Kedai turned around and crossed his hands: "Don't drive, Yu Wenlong, a miscellaneous household in Tongjifang, Wannian County, is insane. He poisoned the well, and he will be hanged according to the law."

Fan Zheng nodded: "These heinous people are hanged at Dongshikou."

"Also: Due to poor management and control, Chuguo Temple caused the outflow of oleander, which caused a disaster. Chuguo Temple was fined to help Tongjifang fill the well and open a new well."

"Fu: Under the rule of Yongzhou, the place where oleander is planted unconditionally controls this thing, and it is not allowed to leak out to be a disaster. Those who need oleander to be used as medicine must be recorded in the yamen."

Duvina of the Chu Kingdom Temple proclaimed Amitabha Buddha and accepted the punishment.
