Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 272 Detoxification
"Is there any doctor in Tai Hospital who is good at treating this disease?"

After Wang Taiyi heard this, his eyes lit up, and he almost forgot that the person in front of him was the chief minister of the dynasty, the popular person in front of the Supreme Emperor, as long as he said a word.Isn’t Taiyuan Hospital going to give you all the help?
"Master Liu Hong, the deputy director of Taiyuan Hospital, is good at treating diarrhea."

Jia Rui said he understood, and then hurried out and came to the yard to recruit his young man Wangcai.

"Hurry up and find Liu Hong in the Imperial Hospital and ask him to come to Ningguo Mansion immediately."

After hearing this, Wangcai quickly turned around and left.

After arranging the manpower, Jia Rui re-entered the house. When he came in, he saw only the second sister You and the third sister You were comforting her.

Second Sister You sincerely comforted this unrelated sister, but Third Sister You was perfunctory.

Jia Rui knew that Third Sister You had a character that dared to love and hate. Since she had a grudge against You, something must have happened between them, so Jia Rui didn't say anything about Third Sister You's behavior.

When Jia Mu saw Jia Rui coming in, she quickly asked, "How's it going?"

Jia Rui said with a gloomy face: "Both Dr. Wang and the Zhongwei doctor inside are at their wits' end, but Dr. Wang recommended Mr. Liu Hong, the deputy director of the Taiyuan Hospital, and I have already sent someone to invite him."

After listening to Jia Rui's words, Jia Mu's face not only did not get better, but instead became even gloomier.

Jia Rui glanced at Jia Mu, then bowed his head and said nothing.

Jia She, who had been silent, came to Jia Rui's side at this time.

"Eldest nephew, I heard that you moved our Jia Lian to Qiantang?"

Jia Lian's matter was handled by Jia Rui some time ago.

However, this was just a document just issued by the Ministry of Personnel, and Jia Rui only told Wang Xifeng.

Why did Jia She know it so quickly?
"The last time Brother Lian went to Hainan, he recruited someone to plot against him. Now that our family has recovered, we should find another place for him."

Jia She was very satisfied and had a smile on his face, "I hope he will serve well as an official in Qiantang. If he is lazy again, I will not break his legs."

Jia Rui glanced at Jia She, and was somewhat impressed by him. It was rare for this timid father to actually say a word of care for his son.

While they were chatting, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside, and then Wangcai walked in with a middle-aged man with a gray beard.

As soon as the middle-aged man entered the room, he glanced at it first, then quickly came to Jia Rui, knelt down and kowtowed to him.

Although Jia Rui is not very familiar with Thai Hospital, but judging from this posture, this person should be Liu Hong, the deputy director of Thai Hospital.

Now was the time to ask for help. Jia Ruike did not dare to be too reserved, so he stepped forward and helped Liu Hong up.

"Master Liu, there is no need to be polite. I am just a family member of the patient now, not the chief minister of the court."

Liu Hong was a little frightened when he received such courtesy.

"Thank you, Mr. Chief Assistant. I will go in and see the patient right now."

Jia Rui quickly took Liu Hong into the inner room.

When Jia Mu, who was sitting at the top, saw Liu Hong entering the room, she didn't even look at herself, and felt a burst of sadness in her heart.

With the rise of Jia Rui, their Rongguo Mansion became increasingly dilapidated among the Jia family.

Jia Rui and Liu Hong entered the inner room. Doctor Wang, who was discussing plans with several other doctors, quickly came over to salute them.

Liu Hong nodded slightly when he saw Imperial Physician Wang. He knew this person. He was considered to be at a lower-middle level in the imperial hospital. However, he had been a physician for several lifetimes and had several secret recipes at home, so he was doing pretty well.

"How is the patient?"

Dr. Wang said quickly: "The pulse is still there or not, the kidney water is empty, and the official is helpless."

After hearing this, Liu Hong first confessed to Jia Rui, then came to the bed and carefully checked Jia Zhen's pulse.

After a long time, Liu Hong took his hand back and looked at Jia Rui.

Jia Rui immediately understood what the other party meant, and then followed Liu Hong to the corner of the wall where he could avoid people.

"how is the situation?"

Liu Hong said: "It's not caused by the tiger wolf medicine. The aconite in the medicine was replaced by aconite."

Jia Rui blinked his innocent eyes, he didn't understand what the other person was talking about.

Liu Hong looked at Jia Rui's look and knew that if he didn't explain clearly, the chief minister might always be kept in the dark.

"Aconite is pungent in taste and very hot in nature. It is the main medicine to supplement Yuanyang. Aconite is the root attached to the root of Aconitum. Although they are the same body, they are two kinds of medicine."

"Aconite helps Yang, Aconitum activates meridians and relieves pain, but it is very poisonous."

When Jia Rui heard this, he finally understood. It should be the aconite in Jia Zhen's medicine, but someone secretly replaced it with aconite.

Because the two look very similar, no one else noticed.

After thinking about this, Jia Rui finally understood why Jia's mother often sent some tonics to Jia Zhen some time ago.

At the beginning, Jia Mu naturally gave her real medicine, but on the day of the incident, she suddenly changed it to poison containing aconite.

Thinking of this, Jia Rui also began to admire Jia Mu. She had been lying in wait for such a long time for one thing.

"Is there any help?"

"There is a secret recipe for detoxification in the palace, but even if we are saved, I'm afraid..."

Seeing that the other party stopped talking, Jia Rui glared, "Now that we've reached this point, what can't we say?"

"I'm afraid I will be no different from an eunuch from now on."

In Liu Hong's view, if a noble like Jia Zhen became an eunuch, it would be more uncomfortable than killing him.

But this was exactly what Jia Rui wanted, so he pretended to be very anxious and stamped his feet. "We've reached this point. It's important to save lives first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Liu Hong nodded, then saluted Jia Rui and went out.

After a while, he walked in with a medicine box in his hand, opened the box in front of Jia Rui, and picked up a few medicines from inside.

Then he closed the box again and ground the medicine into fine powder in front of Jia Rui.

At this time, he said to Doctor Wang in the distance: "Boil three bowls of water into one bowl of water and drink it."

Doctor Wang took the medicine and cooked it on the spot in the house.

It wasn't until half an hour later, after the medicinal ingredients were cooked, that Dr. Wang personally pried open Jia Zhen's mouth and drank the medicine.

About an hour later, Liu Hong went over to check his pulse again, then nodded gently, stood up, came to Jia Rui's side and said:

"The medicine is working, but one dose is not enough to completely cure the aconite poison. It will take another three or four days of continuous medication to be fine."

"Then I'd like to help Dr. Liu."

Liu Hong said with a smile: "There is no need to go to such trouble. Just ask someone to pick up the medicine from my house every day."

Jia Rui naturally agreed wholeheartedly, then came outside and waved to Third Sister You who was bored next to Youshi.

Sanjie You hurried over and Jia Rui lowered his head and said a few words in her ear.

Sanjie You understood immediately, walked quickly back to Youshi, and recounted Jia Rui's words.

After hearing this, Mrs. You's face was full of surprise, and then she even saluted Mrs. Jia without hesitation, ran to the back in a hurry, and came out after a while holding a box.

This time she didn't need anyone else. She came to Jia Rui in person and handed the box into Jia Rui's hands.

"Uncle Rui, this is a box of pearls. You can give them to Dr. Liu for me."

Jia Rui took the box and looked at Youshi.

You must know that although this box is small, it can hold at least sixty or seventy pearls. Even Jia Rui feels a little distressed when they are all given away.

You must know that in ancient times, pearls were not cultivated at will like in modern times.

To fish for pearls, a pearl fisher must go deep into the deep sea. It can be said that for every few pearls, there is a life.

"Have you thought clearly that if you give this thing away, you will never get it back?"

"As long as it can cure our uncle's illness, I will be willing to give away more pearls."

Jia Rui nodded and said nothing more. He took the box and entered the inner room.

At this time, Liu Hong was explaining to Dr. Wang how to better remove the poison from Jia Zhen in the future.

At this time, Jia Rui walked up to Liu Hong and handed the box in his hand to Liu Hong's hand.

"Thank you very much, Dr. Liu, for this time. I will trouble you for some time to come."

Liu Taiyi naturally smiled and accepted the things Jia Rui sent over. It seemed that he had been walking around among the princes and nobles a lot, and he was used to this kind of thing.

Things here were over for the time being, and Jia Rui personally sent Liu Hong out of Ningguo Mansion. He didn't come back until he saw his car disappearing on Ningrong Street.

After returning here, when I saw the people in the room, they looked much more relaxed. It seemed that Youshi had told everyone what happened just now.

Since Jia Zhen had nothing to do anymore, Jia She left with Jia Mu.

Even Jia Rui felt that nothing happened, so he left with others and went home.

After returning to the Dingxi Hou Mansion, Jia Rui first sent the You sisters and You's mother to the back, and then asked Wang Xue Baochai to go to the old man to report what had just happened, so as to save the two old people from worrying.

After sending these people away, Jia Rui came to the rented house and once again recruited Wangcai.

"Have you heard clearly?"

"Uncle Hui has already inquired clearly. Uncle Zhen hasn't succeeded yet, but suddenly it won't work."

After hearing this, Jia Rui felt lucky for Jia Rong.

This time he got a complete wife.

"Send someone to find out more about this medicine?"

Jia Rui didn't believe Jia's mother would have such a big loophole.

You must know that Jia Zhen has been taking Jia Mu's medicine this time. If Jia Zhen suddenly disappears because of this medicine, Jia Mu will be the biggest suspect.

"Uncle, how can I inquire about this kind of thing?"

"Confused."

Jia Rui stamped his foot angrily, "If you get closer to the people in Rongguo Mansion, I think the news will naturally reach your ears in two days."

Wangcai blinked his innocent eyes and looked at Jia Rui in disbelief.

"What's your look like? Don't you believe me?"

"Don't you dare? How dare you not believe me? Master, you are so clever and clever that even Zhuge Liang can't compare to you?"

"Go away, don't show your face here."

With Jia Rui's words, Wangcai dared to slip out.
