Chapter 347 A forced choice
Su Cheng lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "My lord, I don't know what you are talking about, but I really can't remember."

This result did not seem to exceed Du Wenhao's expectations. He stood up and shook his robe: "Okay, don't worry, since I have already found this step, it shouldn't be too difficult to catch this person. The hidden The people on the mountain should be the key to solving this puzzle. Although Mount Emei is very large, there are not many restaurants and restaurants on the mountain, and Mr. Su is a famous figure in Jiazhou. Many people must know it. You only need to go up the mountain. If you inquire in various taverns and restaurants, you will know where Mr. Su bought the rice, and Mr. Su must choose the nearest restaurant to deliver the food to that person. If you ask the direction where Mr. Su left at that time, you will probably know where it is. The general scope of the person's hiding. Liu Xianwei said before that it is difficult to search the mountain without a target. Now that there is a general scope, I think it is easier to find out. Even if this person leaves, there will always be clues. Mr. Su was seriously injured and almost died. Since I have taken care of this matter, I will take care of it to the end. Mr. Su, don't worry!"

Come on, Du Wenhao dropped his sleeve robe, turned around and walked out.

"Master Imperial Physician, please stay!" Su Cheng struggled to get up and said.

This seemed to be what Du Wenhao had expected. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he turned around slowly, and said, "Mr. Su, please tell me something."

Su Cheng said: "My lord doctor, please forgive me. I didn't tell you the truth earlier, and I made you bother."

Du Wenhao lifted his robe and sat down again, looked at Su Cheng and said, "Mr. Su, what's going on?"

"Well..., it's like this. A good friend of mine fell in love with a woman, but the family strongly opposed it, so my friend ran away from home and hid in the mountains, trying to force the family to agree. I brought him food and persuaded him to go back. He was violent, we had an argument and fought, I broke his nose, the blood should flow like this on the ground, he also kicked me, he didn't mean it, and he didn't expect to hurt me. Then he left, I don't know where he went. I don't blame him, he kicked me in a hurry, he is my best friend, so I don't want to pursue this matter any further. I never thought about it If you want to sue him, please close this case, my lord."

Du Wenhao smiled: "Causing a serious injury is no longer an ordinary injury case. This kind of thing is no longer a matter between the victim and the perpetrator, so even if the victim does not ask to be held accountable, the government has to take care of it. This is a violation of the king's law." , must be brought to justice.”

Su Cheng was anxious: "My lord, he didn't mean it. He never thought of hurting me. I hit him first, and he kicked back when he got angry. He didn't mean to hurt me. Please forgive him."

Du Wenhao said: "Well, I can't make a decision just by hearing what you said alone. You have to find him first and investigate in detail. If it is really an unintentional mistake, negligence, carelessness and accidental injury, the government will deal with it fairly.— —what is his name? Where does he live? Where is he fleeing now?"

"I have said that he is unintentional, please forgive him! Don't pursue it."

Du Wenhao said indifferently: "This official also said that this is no longer a matter between you, but a matter that violates the king's law. Lieutenant Liu and the others have filed a case and must investigate it! Let's talk, if Mr. Su does not cooperate with the government to investigate and deal with the murderer , that's okay, since this person is the young master's best friend, the scope is very small, I'm afraid it won't take more than an hour to find out whether that person has left on the mountain or not. At that time, I will instruct Lieutenant Liu and the others to deal with it according to law. Farewell!"

"My lord! Ouch..." Su Cheng struggled to get up, exerted too much force, touched the wound, and cried out in pain. "My lord, please hold your hand high and let him go!"

Du Wenhao didn't look back: "The law is ruthless. Anyone who violates the king's law must be brought to justice. Otherwise, what's the use of keeping the king's law! Don't worry, Mr. Su, I will definitely bring the real culprit to justice!"

With a flick of the sleeve robe, he went out.Lieutenant Liu also had a stern face, bowed his hands to Mr. Su, took the robe, and followed him out.

Su Cheng looked at the door with despair on his face. For a moment, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and his hand holding the quilt was also clenched tightly.

Outside the door, Lieutenant Liu caught up with Du Wenhao, and said in a low voice with a smile on his face, "Your Excellency the Imperial Physician is really clever, you can force this man surnamed Su to confess with just a few words, ha ha. Leave this matter to the subordinates, go immediately check."

"Well," Du Wenhao stopped, turned around and said, "He hesitated in speaking, there must be some deceit. The story of his best friend escaping from marriage is probably fabricated, and it may have something to do with the surnamed Tang of the White Clothes Club." You don’t need to search for it first, take people up the mountain immediately, and detain all the people who live at the various intersections that go down the mountain and go up the mountain at night. Get out of the place where Su Cheng bought food, and then search. At the same time, send people to ambush around Su Cheng's room, and follow everyone who comes in and out!"

"Your officer understands." Lieutenant Liu cupped his fists and hurried away.

Du Wenhao returned to the room with a sullen face, and went straight to Ke Yao's house, but she was not there, and heard talking and laughing in Lin Qingdai's room next door, went to the next door and opened the door to see, only to see Pang Yuqin and the others were there, Drinking tea and talking in the room.Seeing Du Wenhao coming in, they hurriedly stood up to greet him.

The little tiger cub, Xiao Ke, was dozing obediently at Yingzi's feet. When he heard the noise, he looked up and saw Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao didn't have time to play with the tiger cubs right now. He stared at Ke Yao and said coldly, "Did you tell Wuzhi County to let him arrest Shen's mother and child?"

Seeing Du Wenhao's gloomy expression, Ke Yao forced a smile: "Yes, brother, this is..."

"Don't call me brother! If you want to go to jail, don't bring our family with you!" Du Wenhao pointed at Ke Yao and shouted sharply.

Ke Yao's face was pale, he took two steps back, tears rolled in his eyes, his lips trembled: "I..., I..."

Du Wenhao continued to sternly coldly: "I pity you for taking you in and let you follow us, but you actually took my trust as a trifle, misrepresented my meaning, trapped me in injustice, and even made me implicated in the White Clothes Society." Get away, I can't tolerate you anymore. You go! I don't want the whole family to be killed by you!"

Ke Yao burst into tears, masked his face and rushed out of the room.

Lin Qingdai said to Du Wenhao: "Don't be angry, she is doing it for the good of all of us... I'll go and see her."

Du Wenhao's face was ashen and he didn't bite, Lin Qingdai chased him out.

Pang Yuqin came over and supported Du Wenhao's hand: "Sister, don't be too anxious. Sit down first. This matter, actually..."

Du Wenhao interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "It's getting late, go to bed early, and we will continue training tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he turned and went out, returned to his room, closed the door, and lay alone on the bed sulking.

Of course Du Wenhao knew in his heart that Ke Yao was trying to get himself out of the relationship with the White Clothes Club and draw a clear line.However, this time he has become a thief who makes trouble and sells friends for glory, and he can't help but get angry.

After a while, there was a knock on the door: "Wen Hao! Are you asleep?"

Hearing the voice was Lin Qingdai, Du Wenhao turned over, faced inside, and called out, "Come in!"

The door creaked open, Lin Qingdai walked to the edge of the bed, sat down on the edge of the bed, and gently pushed his shoulder: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm tired."

"Are you angry with Ke Yao?"

"Yes, give her some money tomorrow and let her go, otherwise, the whole family will be killed by her sooner or later!"

Lin Qingdai sighed: "You blamed her wrong this time."

"What do you mean?" Du Wenhao didn't turn around.

Lin Qingdai hesitated for a moment, then said slowly: "Although she came forward to tell Wu Zhixian, this is not her idea alone, it is all of us's idea."

"What did you say?" Du Wenhao suddenly turned over and stared at Lin Qingdai.

"We wanted to keep this matter from you. The county magistrate came to visit that day, and you happened to go out. We saw that he was anxious, so we asked him if there was anything we could pass on. The believers rioted in Huainan and other places, killed officials and rebelled!"

Du Wenhao groaned and got up straight: "What did you say? The White Clothes Club rebelled?"

"Yes, Wu Zhixian said that the imperial court has issued a sea arrest notice to arrest all the congregants of the White Clothes Society, and began to arrest the officials who sheltered the White Clothes Society. Several court officials in the capital have been thrown into the prison for this. So he came Please tell me what to do. We let him sit down for a while, and several people gathered together in the room, thinking that since the White Clothes Society has rebelled, it is a blatant confrontation with the imperial court. Limits, it is best to make a contribution to show our attitude. Otherwise, the imperial court will probably take us very soon!"

Du Wenhao was stunned by the news: "So you asked Wuzhi County to arrest Shen's mother and son."

"Yes, the imperial court has issued a decree to arrest all the congregants of the White Clothes Society. Naturally, her mother and son are also among them. Instead of letting others arrest them, we should inform and arrest them. Maybe we can use this to get rid of the guilt in the future."

Du Wenhao said angrily: "However, if you do such an inhumane thing, how will you call me Du to face the world!"

Lin Qingdai said coldly: "Now the White Clothes Society is the traitors, you are benevolent to them, but the imperial court will not be benevolent to us!"

Du Wenhao was taken aback, and said weakly: "We can also turn a blind eye and close a blind eye, just don't ask!"

"Do you think that you can stay out of this matter? - Don't forget, you once saved the leader of the White Clothes Society! The whole White Clothes Society is grateful to you, and the meritorious deeds erected by the White Clothes Society are still standing in Dongda County! What do you think? If you say empty teeth that you have nothing to do with the White Clothes Society, if you don't do something, will anyone believe you?"

Du Wenhao suddenly lied on the bed like a deflated ball.

Lin Qingdai slowed down her tone: "The reason why we didn't ask for your opinion and directly notified Wu Zhi County to arrest people in your name was because we were afraid that you would not agree. This is related to the lives of our whole family. I hope you can understand our difficulties .”

Du Wenhao sat up slowly, and sighed: "You are right, you can't hesitate about this kind of thing. Then do it according to your ideas. It's just..., alas!"

Lin Qingdai sat down beside him: "Wen Hao, some things are always in a dilemma, and there is no compromise."

"Yes, I know, wanting to be a whore and erecting an archway at the same time, there is no such cheap thing."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lin Qingdai burst out laughing and pulled him, "What about Ke Yao? She is a scapegoat, she said the words, but we came up with the idea together."

"What else can I say, you are all for the good of the whole family. Apologize to her for me. ——However, no matter what, you must ask for my opinion. You are my women, don't take it for yourself I am the master, our family, life and death together, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Yes! Mr. Xiang, you are the head of the family, and we will never dare again in the future."

Lin Qingdai stood up with a smile, went back to the house and told Pang Yuqin and the others what happened just now, and then came to Ke Yao's room to persuade her, apologized for Du Wenhao, and Ke Yao stopped his tears.

All the girls came to Du Wenhao's house together again, expressing that no matter what happened in the future, they would never make random claims again.The family is harmonious as before.

The next morning, before dawn, the Emei Inn was already crowded with people. Doctors who had not received the news for a day came from all directions, and some even came from Yazhou and other neighboring counties after hearing the news. .

Since those who bought tickets on the first day had priority, and none of the [-] people who were absent from the first day came, no other doctors were able to attend the class this morning.But they were unwilling to leave. Many people asked to go in and stand and listen, and they were willing to spend the same money.But Du Wenhao refused. He wanted to focus on the quality of the training, and he didn't want to make money in a perfunctory manner.

In order for these doctors to have an intuitive experience of anesthetics, Du Wenhao bought a pig and mixed the anesthetics in the feed for the pigs to eat. After a while, the pig fell into a coma.Then Du Wenhao demonstrated the aseptic and disinfection techniques, then cut open the pig's stomach to show the pig's internal organs, then sutured the abdomen, and finally woke the pig with salt water.

When the pig woke up with a whimper and didn't neigh because of the pain, all the doctors were stunned. They witnessed the whole process of laparotomy for the first time, and couldn't believe their eyes.

Du Wenhao focused on how to use anesthetics and the basic essentials of aseptic disinfection, and also introduced the correct methods for several major minor surgical operations.

In the end, Du Wenhao announced the most concerned issue of all doctors: "Everyone, in order to succeed in surgery, besides the doctor must master the correct surgical knowledge I just mentioned, medicine is another key. In order for everyone to master these For surgery, the anesthetics, disinfectants, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, and body fluid balance medicines I demonstrated just now are sold in our Wuweitang Pharmacy. We will set up agency distribution points in various states and counties for long-term supply. Anyone who is willing to buy them , or those who are willing to become my Wuweitang's designated local distributor, can practice buying with my concubine Lin and sign an agency distribution agreement."

Fifty doctors immediately exploded the battalion, and they all took out bank notes or money bags, and they wanted to buy them on the spot.

Lin Qingdai had already prepared for this point, and had already prepared a sufficient amount of commonly used surgical medicines with Pang Yuqin and Xue Feier overnight, and had printed many copies of the instructions for use, and sold them together with the medicines.

In order to ensure the subsequent training and the normal operation of the agency, Lin Qingdai limited the number of single purchases, and also registered several well-funded pharmacies and clinics that intend to distribute pharmaceutical equipment as long-term agents. After on-site inspections, the final decision is made agent.

There was a new round of training in the afternoon. Given the large number of people who requested to participate in the training and spent money to watch the excitement, Lin Qingdai expanded the scale of the training.The auditorium is set up as a circle, with 30 taels for each person in the best positions in the first two rows, and the number decreases in descending order.Those who want to watch the fun are arranged in the last row, five taels per person.Through Dr. Xie and others, they found several patients who needed surgical operations in the Department of Injury and Ulcer, and gave on-site demonstration and treatment explanations.

Such vivid on-site clinical explanations are very intuitive and the effect is very good. The doctors are very excited because they have learned the painless surgery of the first imperial doctor in Beijing. Du Wenhao and his income have also increased significantly, and the related medicines and equipment are sold. It was even more popular, so that Lin Qingdai, Pang Yuqin and Xue Feier were busy from morning to night, and the supply was still in short supply.

But seeing the stacks of banknotes rising straight up, all the girls were very happy.Through on-the-spot investigation, it was finally determined that Dr. Xie and his pharmacy are the only distributor in Jiazhou. Lin Qingdai and the others only need to give the core medicine powder to the distributor, and they will configure it according to the secret method. This greatly reduces the number of Lin Qingdai and the others. workload.Production has also risen sharply.

Du Wenhao didn't put more thoughts on this, he was worried about the problem of the White Clothes Club.

For several days, Wu Zhixian and Liu Xianwei laid down soldiers according to Du Wenhao's deployment, but no trace of Tang Zhonghuai was found.And Su Cheng didn't make any movement.

This made Du Wenhao even more anxious.From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to arrest people from the White Clothes Club, but now that the arrow was on the string, he had to do so.

That night, after the training was over, the servant reported that Ye Zhao, the training envoy, had come to visit.

When Du Wenhao came to the living room, he saw Ye Zhao greeted him with a happy face, cupped his fists and said with a smile: "My lord doctor, I really want to thank you very much. After taking your medicine, Quan Zilin'er went back to normal. He also offered to eat, and the whole family was very happy."

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "As long as the diarrhea stops, you can rest assured, but don't give him greasy food."

Ye Zhao said: "Your official understands. After you performed the surgery last time, my younger brother took the medicine you prescribed, and the sores on his face have also started to heal. I would like to ask you to go to the dog and younger brother for a follow-up visit today. You see convenient?"

"That's what it should be. I should have gone a few days earlier, but the training was delayed. Let's go!"

Du Wenhao only brought Lin Qingdai this time, and Li Pu drove there.

When they came to Ye Mansion, Ye Zhao's wives and concubines came to greet him at the gate.Du Wenhao didn't chat this time, and asked them to take him straight to the place where Houyuan Lin'er lived.The child was playing in the yard with a few maids, and there was still a servant guarding the door.
