My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 212

Seeing Lin Ruhai coughing so hard and still wanting to speak, Daiyu on the side quickly supported him, wiping tears from her heartache.

Seeing this, Jia Yu stopped being polite and said directly: "Uncle, before my nephew came, Your Majesty asked my nephew to bring the imperial doctor.

Don't say anything now. Let the imperial doctor diagnose you first. "

After saying that, he couldn't help but call Doctor Wang in.

After Doctor Wang came in, he first saluted Jia Yu, then came to the bedside and looked at Lin Ruhai.

When he looked at Lin Ruhai, his originally calm expression condensed slightly.

At this time, Aunt Mei brought a brocade stool and placed it behind Dr. Wang, asking him to sit down.

Lin Ruhai may have looked away, and smiled calmly and said: "Mr. Wang, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Doctor Wang thanked him and sat down, and said kindly: "Mr. Lin, you are very polite. It is the duty of a doctor to save lives and heal the wounded. Besides, I am here under His Majesty's orders, so I will do my best."

After that, he carefully checked Lin Ruhai's face, asked him to stick out his tongue, and finally checked his pulse.

After being busy for almost a quarter of an hour, Dr. Wang pondered for a while and then said to Lin Ruhai: "Mr. Lin... I believe you have asked the local doctors in Yangzhou to look at it before. I wonder what they said?"

Lin Ruhai chuckled: "What else can I say? It's just an imbalance of the spleen and stomach, excess yin and deficiency of yang, and then a bunch of supplements were prescribed."

"Then, Master Lin, how do you feel after eating for so long?"

Lin Ruhai didn't say anything, and Aunt Mei behind her couldn't help but said: "Our master took a lot of medicine, but it didn't help at all, and his condition became more and more serious.

Two months ago, I could go to the ground to work, but later I couldn't even go to the ground. These days, I am bedridden and can't even eat. "

After saying that, Aunt Mei covered her face with a handkerchief and started crying.

Doctor Wang looked at Lin Ruhai, then at Aunt Mei, Jia Yu, and Daiyu, hesitant to speak.

Lin Ruhai and others immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Wang, if you have anything to say, feel free to speak out. The people in this room are either my concubines who have been with me for more than ten or twenty years, or my daughters and nephews.

They are all trustworthy people. If anything happens, just speak up. No matter how big the problem is, I can bear it. "

Doctor Wang sighed: "In that case, I will speak frankly.

In the opinion of the subordinates, Mr. Lin was not ill, but poisoned.

Moreover, the poison in Mr. Lin's body is very, very rare. This kind of poison is not like ordinary poisons that can kill people all at once.

Instead, it will continue to corrode the human body, causing the poisoned person to gradually become weak, looking like what the lady just said.

Even if an ordinary doctor comes to check, he will find symptoms such as excess yin and deficiency of yang.

But unfortunately, Xiaguan has done some research on some toxins. The most typical symptoms of this toxin are a sallow complexion, red tongue coating, and black lines on the thumb.

I often feel thirsty, hot and so on. Mr. Lin, I wonder if this is true or not? "

"Master Wang is right, that's exactly what it is." If Lin Ruhai was only sixty-seven percent doubtful about his condition before, now he is certain.

"now it's right."

Doctor Wang stroked his beard and said: "Because the poisoner did not want to, or did not dare to kill Mr. Lin at once, so he only dared to use this method of boiling the frog in warm water to make your body slowly weaken.

It gives outsiders or the court a sign that you are seriously ill and dead, so I gave you this poison.

But there is one thing that Mr. Lin needs to pay attention to, because the poison is very light and needs to be poisoned for a long time and continuously, so the poisoner must be someone close to you. "

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai and Aunt Mei's expressions suddenly became particularly ugly.

It took a long time for Lin Ruhai to sigh, "I didn't expect... I actually had a thief around me but didn't know it. I'm ashamed... I'm ashamed!"

Aunt Mei's delicate face also showed a look of surprise and anger. She suddenly stood up: "Master...I will ask Butler Lin to tie up that bitch and beat her to death right away."

"It's not urgent, she can't run away."

Lin Ruhai waved his hand with difficulty and looked at Imperial Physician Wang, "Physician, please tell Mr. Lin the truth, I... how much time do I have left."

Doctor Wang sighed softly, "Mr. Lin, although this kind of poison is mild, if it is only three or two months after the poisoning, there are still ways to get rid of the poison.

But now this toxin has penetrated deeply into your internal organs, and it is really difficult to get rid of it.

I'm not sure I can cure you either. "

Lin Ruhai waved his hand nonchalantly, "These are not important. You just need to tell Mr. Lin how much time I have."

Doctor Wang hesitated for a while, and then said: "As early as one month, as late as about two months."

Hearing this, Daiyu couldn't help but hugged Lin Ruhai and cried.

Although she had been mentally prepared for the worst when she arrived, when she heard the fact from Doctor Wang, she still found it difficult to accept it.

Especially since he lost his mother when he was a child, his brother died in infancy, and his father is already his only relative in the world, but now even this only relative has to leave her. How can she, with her sensitive personality, bear this?

Looking at Daiyu who was crying with her father in her arms, Jia Yu quietly pulled on the sleeve of Imperial Physician Wang.

Doctor Wang understood, and the two of them left the house and came to the corner of the eaves one after another.

Jia Yu asked in a low voice: "Mr. Wang, is there really nothing we can do?"

Doctor Wang shook his head helplessly: "Sir, I have followed His Majesty's order to come here with you to treat Mr. Lin, how can I not do my best?

Whenever there is a slight possibility, the official will do his best.

But the poison in Master Lin's body is not just a day or two, but has been accumulated over many years. The poison has already penetrated deeply into the internal organs. How easy is it to force it out? "

Jia Yu took a deep breath and said, "Master Wang, Master Lin is an important minister who is highly valued by His Majesty.

Since he became the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor, he has lost his wife and young son in order to collect taxes for the imperial court and Daxia. Seeing that even his own life is in danger, as a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded, how can you bear it? ah?

Just think of a way, right? On behalf of the people of Daxia and Your Majesty, I would like to thank you! "

After speaking, Jia Yu bowed deeply to Dr. Wang.

This bow shocked Imperial Physician Wang, and he quickly jumped aside, not daring to accept Jia Yu's salute.

He pondered for a long time with a gloomy face before saying: "Sir, since you said so, I have a recipe here that I might try.

However, this recipe is extremely dangerous, and only one out of ten people who have used this recipe can survive, so the official did not dare to mention it. "Now it's Jia Yu's turn to have a headache. Isn't the risk too high?

He rubbed his swollen temples and said, "Mr. Wang, can you tell me about this recipe?"

"Is such that."

Doctor Wang said: "This prescription was also passed down from the ancestors of Xiaguan, and it is also specially used for detoxification.

It is to prepare a medicine. After feeding it to the leech, a detoxification medicine will be produced in the leech. Then the leech is placed on the patient, allowing it to suck the patient's blood. At the same time, the leech will also inject this detoxification medicine. into the patient's body, thus playing a detoxifying role. (This method is made up by the author, please don’t try it randomly)”

"Is there such a way?" Jia Yu was quite surprised after hearing this. She didn't expect that there was such a way to detoxify.

"That's great. What's the risk you're talking about?"

Imperial Physician Wang smiled bitterly and said: "Just now, Xiaguan said that after leeches suck people's blood, they will also inject the detoxifying drugs in the body into the patient's body to detoxify.

The risk is that while detoxifying, this kind of drug can easily cause fever and fever in patients, and most patients will die from contracting inexplicable illnesses. "

When Jia Yu heard this, wasn't it the wound inflammation caused by bacterial infection that led to fever and death?

But when you think about it, it's true. There are no anti-inflammatory drugs and antibacterial drugs in this era. Once an infection occurs, you can only fight hard. Whether you survive is purely up to God's will.

He thought for a long time. Although he already had some ideas in his mind, he still said: "Mr. Wang, I can't decide whether to use this recipe or not. Let's go in first and talk about it later."

"That's true." Doctor Wang also nodded: "Since the matter is serious, we still need to ask Mr. Lin for his opinion."

When the two returned to the room, they saw Daiyu still holding Lin Ruhai's arm tightly, looking heartbroken.

Seeing the two people coming in, Lin Ruhai patted Daiyu's shoulder gently, "Okay, good daughter, get up, don't let your nephew and Dr. Wang see the joke."

Daiyu sat up straighter reluctantly, but still lowered her head and remained silent.

Lin Ruhai glanced at Jia Yu and Imperial Physician Wang, and asked with a smile, "My dear nephew, Imperial Physician Wang, how was the discussion between the two of you?"

Seeing Lin Ruhai looking down on life and death, Jia Yu also secretly admired him. People with such a heart and mind are definitely the elite of the elite in any era.

He didn't want to hide it anymore: "Mr. Wang, please tell Master Lin the truth about the situation."

"Ok."

Imperial Physician Wang told Lin Ruhai everything about the situation, and even informed him about the method of treating diseases with leeches and their harmful effects.

Finally he said: "Mr. Lin, although the method of using leeches to detoxify is feasible, the risk is extremely high, and only one out of ten people can survive.

I don't dare to overstep my authority, so you can decide for yourself whether to use this method.

However, what I want to say is that based on your current situation, it is best to make a decision within ten days, otherwise once it exceeds ten days, your body will deteriorate rapidly, and the gods will not be able to do anything by then. "

After saying that, Imperial Physician Wang bowed to Lin Ruhai and Jia Yu and then left.

Aunt Mei also hurriedly chased after him, called Butler Lin to arrange accommodation and food for Doctor Wang, and sent a maid to serve him.

Jia Yu also said to Lin Ruhai: "Uncle, you and Yu'er haven't seen each other for many years, so you must have a lot to say.

The nephew will also take his leave first. We have something to discuss later. "

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "I have a good nephew.

Xiaomei... you go and arrange a residence for your nephew, and send someone to inform Yanding Camp to arrange a residence for the soldiers and soldiers brought by your nephew. Remember to make proper arrangements. "

"Yes, I understand. Uncle Yu... please come with me."

Aunt Mei smiled gently and took Jia Yu out.

It must be said that Aunt Mei took Jia Yu very seriously as a guest. Not only did she let him live in a small courtyard in the backyard, she also arranged for two maids to serve him.

The two maids first helped him take a hot bath, and then brought him delicious meals.

After eating, Jia Yu was not in a hurry to rest. Instead, he left the Lin Mansion and went to the nearby Yanding Camp to check whether the five hundred musketeers led by Gu Ji were settled, and asked Gu Ji to arrange for the musketeers to be there. There are round-the-clock patrols around the Lin Mansion.

By the time everything was arranged, it was already dark.

As soon as Jia Yu returned to the backyard of the Lin Mansion, she saw Aunt Mei waiting in the yard. When she saw Jia Yu coming back, Aunt Mei said: "Master Jia, my master has asked me to invite you over to discuss important matters." .”

"understood."

Jia Yu didn't say much and followed Aunt Mei to Lin Ruhai's bedroom.

After entering the house, she happened to see Daiyu feeding Lin Ruhai porridge.

Seeing Jia Yu coming in, Lin Ruhai waved her hand, "Xiaomei, Yu'er, please step aside first. I and my nephew have something to say."

"father……"

Aunt Mei naturally stepped back obediently, but Daiyu was a little reluctant and twisted her body coquettishly.

Lin Ruhai smiled kindly, touched her hair and said dotingly: "Silly girl, let's talk tomorrow if we have anything to say. Now my father has to discuss official matters with his nephew, what's going on with you just listening on the sidelines?"

Hearing that it was business, Daiyu, no matter how reluctant she was, just put down the bowl, supported Lin Ruhai and let him lean on the bed, then obediently followed Aunt Mei and left the house, closing the door behind her.

After the two girls left, Lin Ruhai's smile faded and he looked at Jia Yu with a hint of majesty in his eyes. Only then did he reveal his true demeanor as a local official.

However, this grace only fleeting.

He closed his eyes again, seeming to be resting his mind. After a while, he said: "Nephew Jia Xian, what do you want your Majesty to say before you come this time?"

"Of course there is an explanation." Jia Yu readily admitted:

"Before leaving the capital this time, His Majesty has made it clear that the salt merchants in Jiangnan are getting bigger and bigger, and the court's salt tax has been reduced again and again. It has reached the point where it can no longer be dealt with. As the salt inspector, you must be responsible for this. Do you know better than your nephew?"

Lin Ruhai was silent.

Although Jia Yu's words were spoken lightly, he could already hear a strong smell of blood from Jia Yu's words.

He was silent for a while, then whispered: "Do you really want to make it so bloody?"

Jia Yu glanced at him in surprise: "Uncle, those salt merchants have been lying on Daxia's body and sucking the flesh and blood for so many years.

It is also the main culprit for the premature death of my aunt and cousin. Do you still want to plead for them? "
