Chapter 341 The Madman on the Roof

Du Wenhao sighed: "You are right, there are so many patients in the world, I can't cure them all, and I can't let my family suffer disaster because of helping others. Alas! Say I can't heal them. Let them hire someone else. There may not be anyone else in the world who can cure this child."

Although Lin Qingdai tried her best to persuade her husband not to cause this trouble, but thinking that the child might lose his life because of this, she couldn't help feeling sorry for her, and said: "Perhaps there is a doctor who can cure him, but I'm afraid there is no doctor who dares to treat him. .”

To their surprise, they waited until noon the next day, but Shen's mother and son did not come.

This made Lin Qingdai breathe a sigh of relief: "It should be that they guessed that you didn't want to treat them, so they didn't come, or maybe they couldn't bear it and didn't want to involve you in this matter, or maybe they had already found a more Good doctor, I don't need to bother you."

Du Wenhao sighed: "Yes, I hope they can find a good doctor who can help them."

Even though he knew that he did not dare to get involved in this matter as a dignified imperial doctor, he was afraid that no one with a head in the world would be willing to get involved in this disaster.The possibility of saving people was too small, but he still hoped so, it would make him feel better.

After lunch with the old abbot, Pang Yuqin sent servants to tell Du Wenhao to go back to the city first, saying that Ye Zhao, the training envoy of the Yazhou regiment, invited him to a family banquet and treated his family members.

Du Wenhao immediately took Lin Qingdai, Li Pu and others back to Jiazhou City in a carriage.The distance between the two places is only an hour, and I returned to the city in the afternoon.

When they got home, Pang Yuqin and the others just came back from the yamen. In the morning, another woman sent from the countryside gave birth. They explained the new method of delivery to the stable women and female doctors in the state.Just finished the training and returned home.

Du Wenhao felt that it was necessary to tell all the daughters about Shen's mother and daughter seeking medical treatment, and asked everyone to help them think of a way.

Unexpectedly, after he told the story, all the daughters supported Lin Qingdai's idea in unison. Ke Yao even said that her mother and daughter should be detained and sent to the government to show their feelings.It made Du Wenhao very angry, but thinking about it, if you have an ambiguous attitude towards this kind of thing, not only will you not please both sides, but you will have endless troubles. It seems that I really don't have the hard heart to be a politician, even Ke Yao can't compare, and I'm still an old man. It's good to be a doctor honestly.

At this time, the servant came to report that Lieutenant Liu was visiting.

Du Wenhao frowned. Lieutenant Liu obviously didn't have much experience in solving crimes. The case of the young master of the Su family's injury put him under too much pressure, so he came to report without a clue. This time, I'm afraid there will be no progress.

Lieutenant Liu bowed his head and said, "My lord physician, according to my lord's instructions, I thoroughly investigated all the people who had contacts with the young master of the Su family before the incident, and learned that the young master of the Su family went to Mount Emei on the day of the incident. "

"Mount Emei? Who did you go with?"

"He went alone. Someone saw him go up the mountain that day, but they didn't know what he was doing there. When he came back, he was riding a horse. At that time, someone saw him holding his stomach. When he got home, he fell ill and fell down. Now, as for what he did on Mount Emei, no one knows. The next official asked specifically, but Young Master Su still said he couldn't remember."

"So, he was injured on the mountain?"

"Yes, the lower officials sent people to the mountain to inquire about all the temples and residences, but they all said that they had never seen Young Master Su."

Du Wenhao frowned: "This is strange, since he went up the mountain, how could no one see him?"

Lieutenant Liu laughed and said, "Yes, but Mount Emei is too big, with high mountains and dense forests. It's normal for others not to see you if you hide in it alone."

"Do you think it's normal for him to go up the mountain instead of going to temples or other people's houses, and go to the deep mountains and dense forests alone?"

Lieutenant Liu was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head: "It's really strange to hear what your lord said. What is he going to do in the mountains and forests alone? Or, the next official will send someone to search the mountains."

Du Wenhao smiled wryly: "Search the mountain? Mount Emei is so big, you may not be able to search it thoroughly even if you call 1 people. Besides, what are you searching the mountain for? He was injured internally, and there was no bleeding outside. He didn't point out where he was injured. You won’t be able to find it. Don’t do such a stupid idea, it’s thankless.”

"Yes!..." Lieutenant Liu hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "The next step...how should I proceed?"

Du Wenhao: "Expand the investigation clues as much as possible! For example, his family grievances."

"This..., the lower officials have checked it out. Young Master Su is kind and has no grievances."

"Then check the physical evidence!"

"Material evidence?"

"Yes!" Du Wenhao took out the subcutaneous blood stasis pattern extracted from the surface of Su Cheng's liver skin before performing laparotomy from his arms, and handed it to County Captain Liu: "Here! This is it, Young Master Su has a blood stasis in his liver." It looks like a shoe print, probably from being kicked, and there are some regular bruises, which should be a special pattern on the sole. If you find the owner of this shoe print, you will find the injury. Is Young Master Su someone?"

Lieutenant Liu took it as if he had found a treasure, and looked at it for himself, then asked doubtfully, "My lord doctor, what kind of pattern is this?"

Du Wenhao really wanted to kick him: "If I want to know what else I want you to investigate, why don't you just arrest people?"

"Yes, huh, huh, I'm confused!" Lieutenant Liu bowed his head and said, "I'm going to investigate right now, and call all the shoemakers in the city to identify them. There should be someone who knows this kind of shoe print."

Du Wenhao nodded and said: "That's true. After finding the person with this kind of shoe print, it doesn't necessarily mean that the murderer has been found, because there may be many people with the same shoe print pattern. It is necessary to find out the personal characteristics of them before proceeding." same identification."

"Personality characteristics...? Same as...identification?" These two special words for criminal investigation, Liu Xianwei, naturally did not know.

Du Wenhao taught him patiently: "Even if the shoes have the same pattern, if they are made by the same shoemaker, there will be small differences in the patterns. Different people walk different ways, so the point of focus, strength, etc. of the feet will be different. Therefore, the wear on the pattern of the sole is also different. This is a personality characteristic. As long as you find these characteristics and find shoes with these characteristics, you will be able to It is certain that the person wearing these shoes is suspected of a major crime."

Lieutenant Liu Xian was fascinated when he heard it, and he praised sincerely: "Your Royal Physician is really wise. I never thought that in addition to his superb medical skills, Your Royal Physician also knows how to solve cases like the back of his hand. Admiration!"

Du Wenhao smiled, and reminded: "The kick that kicked Young Master Su should have been kicked through the clothes, so the individual traces left by the pattern on the sole of the shoe may be found on the clothes that Young Master Su was wearing at that time. Inspection after extraction."

Lieutenant Liu slapped his head: "That's right! Your Excellency the Imperial Physician is really wise! I'm going to fetch Master Su's clothes for inspection right now."

"Well, however, this kind of trace is more difficult to extract, it depends on your luck. Remember, all investigations and inspections must be kept strictly confidential, otherwise the criminals will know, burn the shoes, or escape, then nothing will happen gone."

"Yes, it's from the provincial government."

"Then go quickly."

In the evening, Ye Zhao, the training envoy of the Jiazhou regiment, came to the Emei Inn in person again, and kindly invited Du Wenhao to have a drink at home.

The training envoy of the Jiazhou regiment is also the head of the regional armed forces department. His rank is only eighth rank, which is far behind Du Wenhao.In the Song Dynasty, the civil servants led the military generals, and this regiment of training envoys was also a civil servant, but he was well-versed in human relationships and the world, so he was not too pedantic.Du Wenhao couldn't refuse the invitation twice, so he agreed.

When someone invites the whole family to a banquet, naturally the whole family is dispatched.When Pang Yuqin and the others came down from the stairs, their clothes were of different colors, but they were all young, and all of them looked amazing. This really opened the eyes of the group trainer, and couldn't help whispering: "Mr. I'm afraid you have married all the most beautiful girls in the world?"

Du Wenhao laughed and said: "Your Excellency, I laughed. Let me introduce you. This is my wife, Pang, and these are the three concubines, Lian'er, Lin, and Song." When introducing Ke Yao, he hesitated for a moment, and said: " This... is my sister, named Ke Yao."

The regiment trainer looked at Ke Yao, seeing the sharpness in her mischievous eyes, he couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly bowed to salute: "Your Majesty Ye Zhao, I have seen you ladies and Miss Ke."

The girls returned the salute, and Li Pu had already prepared the carriage with his guards.After getting into the car, they followed Ye Zhao's car all the way.

When they came to Ye Mansion, Ye Zhao had already sent someone to come back to report, the hall of Ye's house was wide open, and the whole mansion was fully dressed to welcome them.After Du Wenhao and Ye Zhao came in, Ye Zhao's wives and concubines were all smiles, and they warmly welcomed Pang Yuqin and their female relatives into the door.

Ye Mansion is a typical building in the Shu region, surrounded by houses, with a courtyard dam in the middle, and a pond on the east side of the courtyard. There are a few residual lotus in the pond, but some flowers and plants planted by the pond are well managed and grow very well. The garden-like architecture of the Jiangnan courtyard is not as grand as the capital courtyard, but it is also very unique.

Ke Yao looked around, and said softly to Xue Feier: "This house is not bad, but the entrance is a bit stingy."

Xue Fei'er curled her lips: "Of course it can't compare to your Ke family's great achievements!"

Ke Yao felt uncomfortable hearing her words, so he kept silent.

A group of people came to the living room, the guests and hosts were seated separately, and Ye Zhao introduced the family members one by one.

After the introduction, Ye Zhao said: "My lord doctor, let's go to the back garden to have a drink or two, and comment on Jiannei's cooking skills?"

Du Wenhao: "Let's see a doctor first."

Ye Zhao said: "Don't worry, my son just took medicine and fell asleep. He has to sleep for an hour at this time every day, or it's time to toss around in the middle of the night."

Now that we are all asleep, we can only eat first.Since it was a family banquet, and the family members of wives and concubines were invited, Ye Zhao's family members of concubines were naturally also present.

Ke Yao looked at the table full of dishes: "Master Ye's cook must have learned his craft in Chengdu, right? The sauced elbow in Zuixianlou in Chengdu is the most delicious. I saw how similar the dish on your table is." The craftsmanship of Zuixianlou!"

Ye Zhao laughed, stroked his gray beard, and said, "Miss Ke seems to be a connoisseur of food?"

Ke Yao tilted his head and smiled triumphantly, and said, "I'm hungry, can I eat?"

Ye Zhao stretched out his hand and said, "Please! Miss, please try our Ye family cook's handicraft."

Ke Yao winked playfully at Du Wenhao, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Brother, I'm going to eat."

Her gluttonous appearance made everyone laugh.

At this moment, I suddenly heard faint crying and noise coming from a distance outside the door.Ye Zhao stopped his chopsticks and was about to get up to look. Mrs. Ye said, "Master, you accompany Doctor Du and the wives to eat, and I will go and have a look." After speaking, she smiled at everyone, got up and walked out.

Ye Zhao was a little embarrassed, so he explained to Du Wenhao: "I think my cousin is doing something wrong again, please don't mind, he is always like this, he is almost 40 years old, because of his ugly appearance, he has never been able to say It's a marriage, so I feel depressed, so I often yell, it will be fine in a while, let's eat."

Xue Fei'er: "Master Ye's family has a big business, why don't you worry about not being able to find a wife for your younger brother?"

Du Wenhao glanced at Xue Feier, meaning that she shouldn't speak like this. Ye Zhao saw Du Wenhao's meaning and said, "Ma'am is right, we also wanted to spend more money to let the matchmaker find him one. But he has a high spirit, has read some books, and is still a scholar in our village. Although he is sick, his face always has some pimples, but his vision is still high, and he must be in the same family, so he will be procrastinated. Just... Haha, don’t talk about this while eating, my lord physician, please!”

Du Wenhao picked up the cup and drank it dry in one gulp.

At this time, Mrs. Ye came in, frowned, walked up to Ye Zhao, and whispered something.

Ye Zhao frowned, stood up and clasped his fists to Du Wenhao and said, "I'm sorry, I'll come as soon as I go."

Du Wenhao had already heard what Mrs. Ye said. Ye Zhao's cousin climbed onto the roof and threatened to jump off. This kind of thing can't just sit idly by, so he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Is it about Mrs. Ye's cousin? If he committed suicide because of illness, I can see if he can be cured."

Ye Zhao was overjoyed and bowed to the ground: "Thank you, my lord!"

Everyone walked to the courtyard, hurried through the courtyard, and came to a courtyard next door. There were already some servants gathered under the eaves, looking up and persuading.

Du Wenhao looked up, and he really saw a man standing on the roof. His face could not be seen clearly in the dark, but he felt that there was something growing on his face, because the house had two floors, and there was a partition for drying clothes on the roof. layer, so at least two or three feet away from the ground, if you really jumped off, the consequences would be disastrous.

Ye Zhao said loudly: "Ye Feng, come down to me, what are you talking about standing on the roof?"

The man was standing at the corner of the eaves, waving his hands in the air, looking totally crazy. He couldn't hear Ye Zhao's words, his hair was disheveled, and he yelled like a madman: "It's all your fault! Find me some poor doctor. With this broken potion, my whole face has turned into a sweet potato!"

Ke Yao chuckled, and said to Lin Qingdai in a low voice, "I will never eat sweet potatoes in the future."

Lin Qingdai didn't smile, her eyes were sharp, and she saw that the people who came to the roof seemed to be in extreme despair. At this time, people are easy to do stupid things, so she couldn't help being very worried, and secretly thinking about how to save people.

Ye Zhao said: "Come down quickly! I invited the imperial doctor from the capital for you and Lin'er, and you come down and let the imperial doctor Du treat you."

"Doctor? Where is it?"

Du Wenhao waved his hands and said: "I am the imperial doctor from the capital, come down quickly, as long as it is a disease, there will be a way to cure it, if you don't come down, how can I cure you?"

Ye Feng looked at Du Wenhao who was about to speak, but his eyes suddenly fixed on Ke Yao.There were quite a few servants holding lanterns by the side, and Ke Yao's handsome appearance was revealed under the light, Ye Feng couldn't help but his eyes lit up, what a stunning beauty!
I saw that she had an oval face, two willow-leaf eyebrows, a pair of eyes, as clear as autumn waves, a nose that was neither high nor low, as if carved from jade, a small cherry mouth, less than an inch, and the skin on her face was white and transparent. Red, extremely moist and greasy, blown to pieces, with a strand of bangs on the forehead, showing an infinite charm, a head of jet-black blue hair, coiled into a simple bun, with a strand of hair on each cheek, the bun There is a flower carved from jade on it. She is wearing a light red spring embroidered skirt and big red satin embroidered shoes. She has a slim waist and holds a small fan in her hand. She stands in a coquettish posture and is elegantly decorated. She is really pretty. Tianjing four characters.

Lin Qingdai said to Ke Yao in a low voice: "He is looking at you, maybe you will let him come down, he will come down."

Ke Yao sneered, and said in a low voice: "What does it have to do with me if he doesn't come down? I hate this kind of man the most when he sees a beautiful woman's eyeballs! He deserves it!"

"No way, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda!"

"I haven't become a nun, so I don't need to repair pagodas, whether it's seventh or eighth, it has nothing to do with me!"

"So cruel? You're still studying medicine. Brother Hao said that a doctor is a parent's heart. Heal your own heart first, and then heal others."

"If he is my patient, I will naturally be kind to him. If he is an apprentice who drools when he sees a beautiful girl, do you want me to smile at him?"

"Who told you to smile at him? It's to persuade him to come down! Didn't you see that he wanted to jump off the building?"

"Then let him dance, one less person like this will make the world more peaceful!"

"You are really...!"

The two of them talked in a low voice, but others didn't pay attention, they were all persuading Ye Feng.But that Ye Feng stared straight at Ke Yao, his gaze finally caught the attention of others, and they all secretly glanced at Ke Yao.

Seeing that Xue Fei'er and the others were all looking at him, Ke Yao said in amazement, "Why are you all looking at me? I don't have flowers growing on my face!"

Xue Fei'er said: "Hmph, you really want to grow, can you grow it? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! The one upstairs has seen you and is not going to jump off the building!"

Ke Yao was about to speak when Ye Feng looked at her stupidly from upstairs and asked, "Girl, who are you? What's your name?"

Now, everyone looked at Ke Yao in unison.
