Song Yi

Chapter 349
Li Pu also came and asked Du Wenhao what he was looking for.Du Wenhao waved his hand and still didn't say anything.

After a while, Du Wenhao's eyes finally lit up. He held something with an unfolded fan in the corner, walked back, and put it on the table.Beckon to let the shopkeeper pass by.

The shopkeeper went over and saw a huge black spider lying on the table.Suddenly his face changed color with fright: "Big... my lord, don't you let the little one eat..., eat this thing?"

"It's not for eating, it's for you to put your hands on the table, and the spiders will naturally crawl on your hands. Don't move around. Spiders are also poisonous."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he almost cried, and said, "My lord, what do you want me to do?"

Du Wenhao smiled and said, "Hurry up, if the spider runs away, it will be difficult to find such a big one."

The shopkeeper had no choice but to put his hands on the table tremblingly, not daring to look, his eyes closed tightly, and the corners of his mouth trembling violently.

Du Wenhao motioned everyone to stand aside and watch quietly, only to see that the black spider really crawled onto the shopkeeper's hand, and quickly found the stung eye. The venom was sucked into the mouth, and the shopkeeper's hand was soon seen to be swollen.

Du Wenhao saw that the shopkeeper's hand had subsided.And the spider crawled out slowly, trembling, and it was very difficult to move.Du Wenhao asked Li Pu to find some well water again. He picked up the spider with a fan and soaked it in very cold water for a few minutes, then poured the water away. He also got up quickly, and crawled away in twos and threes.

Du Wenhao: "Okay, you open your eyes and look at your wound."

The shopkeeper opened his eyes and couldn't help exclaiming: "My God, how could this be?"

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "The spider sucked out most of the venom in your body, and I will prescribe some medicine for you to eliminate the remaining poison, and you will be fine."

The shopkeeper heard this, and quickly got up to salute and thank you.

Li Pu: "My lord, why did you soak the spider in the water?"

Du Wenhao: "The two poisons are mixed in the spider's body. After the spider sucks the poison, it has to crawl into cold water and soak for a while. If not, the spider will not survive. I'm just helping it."

Li Pu: "Your Royal Physician is really kind-hearted, even spiders are reluctant to kill them."

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "Hehe, it is also a meritorious minister. After all, it saved the shopkeeper's life. It can't be a dead dog."

The shopkeeper bowed and said, "My lord doctor saved the villain's life. All the people in my entourage, including my lord doctor, have been exempted from shop and meal expenses, in order to repay my lord doctor for saving my life."

Du Wenhao smiled and said: "No need, you open the door to do business, you can't let you suffer, you have to feel sorry, we will go to Mount Emei to play in two days, you just prepare some dried fruits and cooked beef."

The shopkeeper smiled: "Well, don't be so troublesome. The small one is on the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, and there is a branch in Emei. The small one will send someone up to say hello. The board and lodging of the old man and his party on the Golden Summit are free. that is."

Du Wenhao became interested: "Oh? You have a hotel in Jinding, Emei? The business is good, right?"

"Yes, it's okay in summer. There are many people visiting Buddha on the mountain. In winter, it's not so good. It's windy, too cold, and there are few tourists. It's also because of this that we are the only hotel in Jinding, so the business is still decent. .”

"I heard that many people in the city went to the mountain to play, including Su Cheng, the eldest son of the Su family, who also went there before he was injured. Does the shopkeeper know?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately became nervous and hesitated for a moment: "Master, before Young Master Su was injured, he went to the small shop in Jinding, but he bought some cooked food and left. He didn't stay. His injury has nothing to do with The shop has nothing to do with it!"

Du Wenhao's heart skipped a beat: "Oh? On the day Young Master Su was injured, did you ever go to your Golden Roof hotel?"

"Yes."

"The Yamen has been asking about the hotels and inns that Young Master Su went to the mountain these days. Have you told the Yamen about this?"

The shopkeeper was even more terrified, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "My lord, the little one should be damned, it was Mr. Su who called the little one that day, and told him not to tell the little one. I didn't tell the truth about it. Today, the Elder Master saved my life, so I can no longer lie to the Elder Master and affect the Elder Master's decision, so I told the truth."

Du Wenhao thought to himself, no wonder they in Wuzhi County couldn't find the inn and hotel that Mr. Su went up the mountain. It turned out that he went to the branch opened by the shopkeeper of this Emei inn in Jinding, and Su Cheng lived in this Emei inn. Ventilation didn't let him talk about it, and he had done all his calculations, but he missed it. Fortunately, he found out about it by chance.

Du Wenhao said: "Very well, you must keep it strictly confidential, don't tell Young Master Su that you have said this, understand?"

"Yes, sir."

Du Wenhao hurried back to the guest room with Li Pu and others, hesitating again and again, he still asked people to call Wu Zhixian and Liu Xianwei, told them about this matter, and ordered them to go to Jinding to search immediately.The two took orders and left.

After Du Wenhao made this decision, he always felt bad, and he didn't sleep well that night.

In the next few days, Du Wenhao continued to give lectures in Jiazhou, and there was an endless stream of people studying medicine and watching the excitement from the four townships and Bali.The silver bills come like snowflakes.Only then did Du Wenhao discover that although the majority of the people in the Song Dynasty were poor, there were still many rich people.The serious polarization was much more obvious in ancient times than it is now.

Classes are over for this afternoon.When Du Wenhao returned to the inn, the servants reported that Wuzhi County was visiting.

This guy hadn't seen him for a few days, and now that he came here, he should have gained something. Du Wenhao didn't know whether to be happy or worried.When I came to the living room and saw Wu Zhixian beaming, I knew there should be a result, and I felt very uneasy.

Sure enough, Wu Zhixian bowed and saluted: "Congratulations, my lord, congratulations, my lord!"

Du Wenhao was taken aback for a moment: "Why do you like it?"

"Tang Zhonghuai has been arrested and brought to justice! It's because of the master's good command and dispatch that he caught the important criminal of the White Clothes Society."

Du Wenhao's heart skipped a beat. He never wanted this result to happen. What he did before was more like a gesture. It would be best for the court to know that he had drawn a clear line with the White Clothes Society, so that he would not cause trouble for himself, and at the same time not Really hurt Dao Baiyi Club.Unexpectedly, an undesired result occurred.

Wu Zhixian didn't know how Du Wenhao's abacus was playing in his stomach, so he said to himself: "The humble officer led his soldiers to the Golden Summit of Emei, and after sealing off all the passages, he searched with a net. In a very hidden cave, I found this guy, and there was quite a lot of food in it. Tang Zhonghuai didn't expect that he was a soft bone, so he only threatened twice, and before he was executed, he explained everything. They said it out. They all wanted to flee to Tibet. I was afraid that these people would get away, so I immediately arrested them. Most of them have been arrested and brought to justice, and there are still two people who have not been caught."

Du Wenhao didn't expect that so many key members of the White Clothes Society would be captured by this pot, and he felt even more uneasy.Not a word was said.

Wu Zhixian still didn't realize it, and said cheerfully: "According to Tang Zhonghuai's account, due to the war between our Song Dynasty and the Tubo Xishan tribe a few days ago, the border was closed, after they absconded to Jiazhou, they were unable to cross the border, so they have been hiding in Jiazhou. Some of them are hidden in the Xiangjun and Jiabing barracks of the regiment training envoys."

"Have you found the person who kicked Su Cheng?"

"I found it, my lord, who do you think is it?" Wu Zhixian was a bit proud and just about to show off, but suddenly remembered the last time Du Wenhao was unhappy because of the show, and hurriedly continued: "It's the regiment training envoy Ye." Zhao!"

Du Wenhao was taken aback: "It's him?"

"Yes, this is Tang Zhonghuai's account. The rebels from the White Clothes Society who fled to Jiazhou took Tang Zhonghuai as the highest leader. For safety's sake, Su Cheng hid him alone in the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, and fled after the border investigation was relaxed. Exiting the country. Ye Zhao, the training envoy of the regiment, was also the backbone of the Baiyi Club. He was also on the mountain at the time, and he thought it was not safe to hide on Mount Emei. He insisted on taking Tang Zhonghuai down the mountain, and had a dispute with Su Cheng. Su Cheng was a bit arrogant and spoke harshly. , Ye Zhao had a bad temper and kicked Su Cheng in a fit of anger. When Su Cheng fell down, he overturned the food. At that time, Su Cheng was in pain after being kicked, and Tang Zhonghuai insisted on staying on the mountain. Ye Zhao Helpless, I escorted Su Cheng down the mountain and separated at the foot of the mountain. I thought the injury was not serious, but I almost died."

Du Wenhao forced a smile: "That's it, this Ye Zhao has been hiding quite deeply, and he has never shown his expression. ——What's the matter with the blood?"

"It's chicken blood. They made an alliance at the top of the mountain and vowed to share weal and woe. Hehe, I never thought that once Tang Zhonghuai was caught, he would say everything without missing a single one."

Du Wenhao smiled wryly: "It's chicken blood. I thought it was human blood from their fighting. It seems that you can't just judge it subjectively."

"Hehe, this is nothing. Your Excellency the Imperial Physician took a long-term view and solved the case in one fell swoop. He captured all the rebels from the White Clothes Society. My lord, two other leaders are hiding in the house of Shopkeeper Su and the Tuanlian Envoy. Last time, Your Excellency the Imperial Physician The confession said that the two should be monitored first, so the humble officer did not go into the arrest, and only Liu Xianwei was closely monitored. These two people should still be at the house of shopkeeper Su and the regiment training envoy. How to deal with it, please show me."

Du Wenhao squeezed out a smile: "Then close the Internet!"

"Yes, Master Physician, I'll do it now!"

Du Wenhao returned to the guest room, and after a while, he heard people jumping around outside, as well as the yelling and cursing of the policemen and armored soldiers. Immediately afterwards, the daughter of the eldest son of the Su family, Su Cheng, screamed in terror. : "What are you going to do? Let go of my father! Let go of your hands and don't catch me... Ah, my lord doctor, help me..."

Then there was the sound of shouting and cursing, and occasional beating and crying, only the crying of the Su family, but Su Cheng's voice could not be heard.You must have known the ending.

Du Wenhao didn't like it, he pulled the quilt over his head completely.Hiding in the quilt, she lifted the quilt until the outside voices disappeared without a trace.At some point, Pang Yuqin and others had come to the room, sitting quietly watching him.

Du Wenhao reached out with both hands, and smiled helplessly: "This is good, we'll catch everyone, and we won't miss one. We have made a lot of contributions this time, so we don't have to worry about the court suspecting our relationship with the White Clothes Society and punishing us." gone."

The girls knew that he was in a bad mood, so they all lowered their heads and didn't say a word.

Early the next morning, the county magistrate Wu came to visit, and he happily bowed and saluted: "My lord doctor, according to your instructions, we have arrested two key members of the White Clothes Club at the Su family and the regiment training envoy Ye Zhao's house. , and took it together, and is now being detained in the Yamen cell, waiting for your disposition."

Du Wenhao said: "Okay, I won't be teaching this morning, I'm going to review and confirm it myself."

"Yes!" Wu Zhixian bowed and agreed.

Du Wenhao took Lin Qingdai and Li Pu, and followed Wu Zhixian to the Yamen Prison.Before entering the door, they heard the sound of whimpering and beating, scolding and shouting inside.

Turning the corner of the house, I saw dozens of people, old and young, sitting in a courtyard of the prison.Lieutenant Liu County held a leather whip in his hand, and was standing triumphantly pointing at the people in the courtyard, shouting and cursing. When he saw Du Wenhao and the others coming in, he hurriedly bowed and greeted him: "My lord physician!"

He didn't expect to follow Du Wenhao to solve an inconspicuous intentional injury case, which led to this major treason case, and captured so many rebels from the White Clothes Club. Now that he will be promoted, he can't help but smile, and he is even more grateful to Du Wenhao do.

Du Wenhao nodded, and glanced at the old and small people in the yard. He didn't see Mr. Su and the regiment trainer Ye Zhao and the others. Just as he was wondering, he heard a child's milky voice calling: "Uncle Imperial Doctor!"

Du Wenhao heard the reputation and looked, it was Lin'er, Ye Zhao's son.Lying in the arms of his biological mother, the third concubine, looking at him pitifully.

Du Wenhao smiled at him, blinked, then turned around and asked County Captain Liu, "Where are shopkeeper Su and Ye Zhao?"

Lieutenant Liu bowed and said: "Reporting to the master, the repeat offenders are locked in the cells inside, handcuffed and fettered, and unable to escape."

"Who are these people in the yard?"

"These are the family members and servants of the two families. How to deal with them is up to the Royal Physician to decide."

"Did they know anything about hiding prisoners?"

"Last night, the officials accompanied the magistrate to interrogate all the criminals. Anyone who has evidence to prove that they knew the inside story was locked in a cell. They really didn't know about it."

Du Wenhao turned around and asked Wu Zhixian: "What did the official document of the imperial court's sea arrest say? For those who harbor criminals, are relatives and domestic slaves implicated?"

Wu Zhixian bowed and said: "My lord, the official document of the imperial court states that all the congregations of the White Clothes Society will be arrested, and the leaders and backbones will be arrested for three generations, and their family property will be confiscated. As for those who harbor, only those who know the truth and do not report it will be arrested, and their family property will be confiscated. Those who don't know will not be held accountable."

"Since this is the case, according to the requirements of the official documents of the imperial court, these people do not know and are not included in the list of arrests. Let them be released."

Wu Zhixian and Liu Xianwei interrogated overnight to screen the criminals according to the official documents of the court. They also knew that these people were not on the list of arrests, but this case was of great importance. Under Du Wenhao's instruction, now that Du Wenhao said that he would release him according to the official document of the court, the two dared to release him.

Immediately, Wu Zhixian walked up to the stage and said loudly to the dozens of people in the courtyard: "Listen, the imperial doctor said that you didn't take part in harboring criminals, so you won't be held accountable, you can go back now. "

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of crying and kowtowing in the field. Of course, they would not know the specific regulations of the official document. They heard that Du Wenhao ordered the release, and they were all grateful. They all cried and kowtowed to Du Wenhao to express their gratitude.Then they helped the old and the young, filed out, and walked out slowly.

Lin'er held her mother's hand, and when she walked to Du Wenhao's side, Lin'er shook off her mother's hand, knelt down and kowtowed to Du Wenhao a few times: "Uncle Imperial Doctor, please help my father. They Shut my dad inside."

Du Wenhao hurriedly helped him up, forced a smile, and changed the topic: "Is there still pus and blood in the poop?"

Lin'er shook her head.

"Remember to take your medicine and listen to your mother."

"Well, Uncle Imperial Physician, please help my father, will you?"

Du Wenhao raised his head and glanced at Ye Zhao's third concubine, Mrs. Liang. Mrs. Liang understood, and hurriedly blessed her, picked up her son, and followed the crowd with her head down.

Looking at Lin'er's expectant eyes, Du Wenhao felt very uncomfortable.

After everyone in the yard had left, Du Wenhao entered the cell.He ordered Shen's mother and son to be brought up.

Shen's whole body was injured, and her eyes were dull. After seeing Du Wenhao, her eyes immediately recovered. She didn't know that Du Wenhao commanded Wu Zhixian and Liu Xianwei to arrest them, so she knelt down and kowtowed: " Imperial Physician, I beg you, please save my son, he is about to die, woo woo woo..."

Du Wenhao looked at the child, and saw that the child was lying in the rotten haystack and twitched lightly, his eyes turned blue and his nose fluttered.

Du Wenhao turned to Wu Zhixian and said, "Didn't you call the doctor to see him?"

Du Wenhao didn't dare to treat the child before, for fear of being involved, but now the child has been imprisoned as a criminal, and the treatment of criminals is a part of the ancient rule of benevolence, which has always been the case.Even for heinous crimes such as treason, children and women under the age of ten are generally not executed by the clansmen who are implicated. They are either rewarded as slaves to heroes or sent to the frontier to be exiled. All are treated.

The county magistrate hurriedly called the cell boss for interrogation, and the cell boss panicked and said, "I've found it, I've brought two doctors to look at it, and I've also prescribed medicine, but none of them can cure me."

Du Wenhao frowned, and said to Wu Zhixian in a low voice: "This is the son of Fu Changyou. These prisoners have to be escorted to the capital. I don't know how the imperial court will deal with them. No matter what, these people can't die in our In hand, I'd better find a good doctor and show him."

Wu Zhixian said with a smile: "If you want to talk about a good doctor, who can compare to you, the Imperial Physician, but how can you treat such filthy prisoners with a body of ten thousand gold? I will go to you for the humble job." The famous doctor came to see him, and he must be revived and sent to the capital."

Du Wenhao thought for a while, and said: "Forget it, let me treat him. Seeing his illness, I'm afraid that doctors in Jiazhou are very troublesome. If you delay it, you will die."

"That's right! Then it will be hard for the Royal Physician."

Du Wenhao squatted down and asked about the history of the illness, and learned that the child had been ill for several days, with constipation and short urine.The child's nasal passages were inspected and found to be dry and grayish black, the tongue coating was greasy and yellow, the edges were purple, the mouth had a foul smell, and the whole body was hot and sweatless.He took the palm of his hand to check, and found that the fingerprints were blue and purple. When he touched his heart, it was extremely hot, and when he touched his hands and feet, it was cold.

Du Wenhao pondered for a moment, stretched out his hand to look at the child's lips, froze for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "Take this child to the yard immediately, hurry up!"

Wu Zhixian hurriedly waved to the jailer to take the child away. Shen was anxious and hugged the child: "What are you going to do? Don't touch my child!"

Du Wenhao said solemnly: "If you want your son to die like this, it's fine not to let him touch him."

Shen was stunned: "My lord doctor, you... what did you say?"

"Your son is suffering from measles. If you didn't find out in time, you've already got a fever! If you don't treat him, he will definitely die!"

"Ah?" Shen was stunned, and subconsciously let go of the child.

Du Wenhao said: "I will try my best to save him, but he is too sick, so I don't know how to be sure. It all depends on God's will."

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, and was dumbfounded on the spot.

Several jailers carried the child out and placed it on the platform on the eaves of the yard.Du Wenhao followed out, and asked the prison chief, "Is there a vegetable plot in the cell?"

The head of the cell didn't know what the imperial doctor asked him for, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, yes! It's in the backyard."

"Take the child to the vegetable field immediately! Leave him alone, and talk about it in an hour."

The jailer took the child away, and Du Wenhao came to the prison head's class room, took a pen and wrote a prescription, and handed it to Wu Zhixian: "Send someone to find the prescription, make it ready and send it to you."

Wu Zhixian hurriedly agreed, and sent people to grab the medicine and decoct it.

Du Wenhao returned to the cell, and first inspected the cells one by one.Walking to a prison cell, a woman hissed, "My lord doctor, you promise to spare my master and my concubine!"

Du Wenhao looked up and found that Ye Zhao's original wife was locked inside, and there were several women who were Su Cheng's wife and mother.

Du Wenhao stopped, and said coldly: "Last time you didn't tell me that your master hid the leader of the White Clothes Club. This is a felony, and I have no right to deal with it. I can only send you to the capital to hand over to the emperor." .”

Ye Zhao's wife burst into tears: "I don't even know about these things, it's... the master and the second master did it secretly..."

A trace of contempt flashed in Du Wenhao's eyes, thinking that in order to get rid of the crime, this woman put all the blame on Ye Zhao, which is really chilling.Don't want to talk nonsense with her, continue to patrol forward.

When I came to the room where Ye Zhao was imprisoned, I saw that he was wearing shackles around his neck, iron chains on his hands and feet, and he was leaning against the corner without saying a word. When he saw Du Wenhao coming, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes. Obviously, he I don't know that Du Wenhao was fully in command of this operation, but I thought that Du Wenhao was a Beijing official and happened to be visiting the doctor here. In order to claim credit, the county magistrate invited him to inspect it so that he could go back and report to the emperor.

Ye Zhao smiled awkwardly, his lips twitched, but he still didn't say a word, and simply closed his eyes.

Du Wenhao paused for a moment, and said, "The concubine and child you didn't know about have been released and left."

No outside voices could be heard here, and Ye Zhao didn't know about it. Hearing this, he opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Du Wenhao, and his beard kept shaking.
