Song Yi

Chapter 372
Du Wenhao shook his head and said: "After febrile disease and sweating, if the body is cold and the pulse is dry, shortness of breath, irritability, nose and diaphragm, this is the sign of impotence. Now after taking medicine, the fever subsides, the body is cold and the pulse is calm. , It’s like a sudden heavy rain under the scorching heat, the natural heat subsides, and the wind is cool. Now his pulse is stable, it’s because he’s sweating and the residual heat continues to come out, it’s not the sun. Don’t be nervous.”

Although she was not nervous, the old woman was still nervous when she saw that her husband was still in a coma, and asked, "Master Tixing, then... what should we do now?"

Du Wenhao smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, don't go to see the doctor, take it back, put it on the bed, let him sleep peacefully, he will wake up naturally, remember not to wake him up by yelling, let him wake up naturally. Then use ginseng three qian , Drink barley winter Liuqian Jianshui as tea, and slowly drink some clear rice soup, and don’t feed him any other food until he is fully awake and able to move freely.”

The old woman nodded frequently, kowtowed and thanked her, and together with her neighbors, carried Dr. Xie back by the door.

At noon, after Du Wenhao finished training the ten doctors, he returned to his residence. Li Pu went up to report: "My lord, almost everyone around us has asked about it, and they didn't find any problems."

It turned out that the night before, Li Pu's escorts found the two doctors and Mr. Wang's house involved in the case of Dr. Xie. When they rushed there, they met people from the yamen who wanted to transfer them away. Zhang Huang left.After Du Wenhao interrogated and released Dr. Xie without charge, the other two doctors and Mr. Wang's family also left.Du Wenhao asked Li Pu to still send guards to follow and monitor, and at the same time to find out why there were almost no crops in the fields on the border of Jingjiang Prefecture.It's a pity that almost nothing useful was heard.Du Wenhao ordered to continue monitoring.

In the afternoon, Du Wenhao continued to consult with ten well-known doctors in the city, and taught surgical knowledge at the same time.

In the evening, the yamen servant ran in to report that the old woman from the morning had brought Dr. Xie with the door again, saying that Dr. Xie was critically ill, and begged Du Wenhao for help.

Du Wenhao was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered the person to be brought in.

Dr. Xie was lying on the door panel, panting with high fever, restless, and kept turning.The old woman followed behind with a pair of young men and women, crying with snot and tears.

Du Wenhao checked his pulse with his wrist and found that the pulse was fast and fast, but he was not sweating.Ask why.The old woman hesitated and refused to speak.

Du Wenhao got anxious, got up and said: "In this case, you can carry him away."

The old woman panicked, and then she said: "When I got home, my son and daughter-in-law just came back. I heard that his father was very ill and kept falling asleep. My son studied medicine from his father since he was a child, and he also began to see patients. Seeing his father like this, he prescribed a medicine for his father. It turned out like this. Woooooo"

Du Wenhao looked at the man: "Are you Dr. Xie's son?"

The man said: "Yes."

"Did you prescribe the medicine at noon? What medicine did you prescribe?"

Dr. Xie's son replied, "My dad was born with cold sweat and his pulse is faint, which is a sign of exorcism. I used aconite and ginseng, and took it in thick decoction."

Du Wenhao snorted: "Are you so afraid that your father will not die?"

The man already knew that Du Wenhao was the criminal officer and the emperor's physician. When he heard this, he was so frightened that he was so frightened that he fell to his knees: "My lord, the younger ones don't dare, how dare the younger ones have such an unfilial heart!" .”

"Your father suffers from febrile disease. After I took the medicine, there was no problem with syndrome differentiation and medication, but his febrile disease was very severe, trembling and sweating, which is a normal phenomenon of the body expelling evil spirits, not out of syndrome. The sweating out of syndrome , dripping profusely, like beads stained with oil, the sweat that drips down is like oil, very sticky. It is easy to distinguish it from other sweating when sick. From the sweat, you can be sure that your father is not out of certificate, but, But you use ginseng to return yang to solidify, isn’t that a firefighting fire, that’s why you have a lot of syndromes! Alas! If you don’t learn well, you will harm others and yourself!”

Doctor Xie's son fell to the ground and cried, begging Du Wenhao to save his father's life.

Du Wenhao said: "Sow the cause by yourself and reap the fruit yourself. Your father's illness is not yet critical. Let me see if you come up with a plan."

Xie's son was nervous and regretful, and he couldn't think of any prescriptions, he was at a loss, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Du Wenhao said: "Oh! The remaining heat of typhoid fever and febrile disease is not cleared, and the syndrome of both qi and body is injured. Use bamboo leaf gypsum soup to add or subtract according to the syndrome!"

Xie's son nodded repeatedly.

Du Wenhao continued: "You can add reed root and scrophulariaceae, drink it as tea after decocting, take it frequently, then you will sweat again, the residual heat will gradually subside, and your breathing will return to normal. At this time, add clear rice soup .—Do you know what the clear rice soup is used for here?"

Dr. Xie's son followed his father to become a doctor in elementary school. He knew this, and hurriedly said, "Can you restore your stomach qi?"

"That's right. It's best for you to understand medicine, and then follow the method of harmonizing stomach and nourishing yin to deal with the aftermath, so you'll be fine."

After receiving the instructions, the old woman and son, with the help of neighbors, carried Dr. Xie back home, and immediately followed Du Wenhao's instructions, taking the decoction frequently. At night, they were sweating again and the fever subsided. People are gradually waking up.

After a few more days of recuperation, his condition fully recovered.Doctor Xie's family is very grateful to Du Wenhao, and everyone they meet will say that it is good to mention the criminal officer Du Wenhao, Mr. Du. The old woman even set up a memorial tablet at home, burning incense three times a day, and praying sincerely to God to bless Du Wenhao with a prosperous official career and a long life. , Fairy blessing forever.After Dr. Xie's son was instructed by Du Wenhao's words, he worked hard to study medicine, plunged headlong into the path of Qi and Huang, and later became a famous doctor with countless living people. ——This is a later story, press it and don't say it.

Dr. Xie woke up with his eyes open, saw his wife's joyful eyes, and saw his son and daughter-in-law kneeling on the bedside, moving their hands and feet: "I..., where am I?"

Xie's son hurriedly replied: "At home, Dad, we sent you to the Elder Ti Xing to see a doctor for you earlier. The Elder is really skilled in medicine. He taught us the syndrome differentiation and medicine prescription, and he will follow it for you when he comes back. Decoct it, and your illness will be cured soon!"

Both the old woman and the daughter-in-law nodded frequently.

Dr. Xie raised his hand with difficulty, looked out of the window and bowed: "Little man..., thank you for your life-saving grace!"

Xie's son and daughter-in-law hurriedly kowtowed.

The old woman wept and said: "Yes, the master of the sentence released you without guilt, gave you a horse coir raincoat, and now he is treating your illness and saving your life. It is really a great benefactor of our family. Master, there is no way out for your in-laws right now. , the two families rely on you alone, if you have something wrong, our family..., how can our family..."

After hearing this, the daughter-in-law fell to the ground and cried, remembering the suffering of her natal family.

Dr. Xie spat: "Why are you crying, I'm not dead yet!"

The daughter-in-law hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, but under the grief, she couldn't hold it back for a while, and choked up her sobs.

Dr. Xie ordered his son to help him up and lean against the bed, panted a few times, and asked, "I came back last night and heard from your mother that you went back to your natal family and something happened at home. What's going on?"

The daughter-in-law whimpered and said, "It's also..., it's nothing..."

"It's nothing and you're still crying? Tell me!" Dr. Xie said angrily.

The daughter-in-law shivered in fright: "Yes, this year..., this year, my father said that he would not buy rice seeds from the yamen, and secretly went to Hengzhou to buy some rice seeds and came back, and quietly planted them in the few hills in the col, saying that there If there are fewer people going, maybe nothing will happen. As a result, the crops in the field are growing well, and they were discovered when it was about to be harvested. The yamen said that my father did not obey the law and put my father in prison. Not only Those who were beaten to death were covered in wounds, and they were fined 500 taels of silver, which had to be paid within three days, otherwise my father and I would be sentenced to six years and would die of hard labor.”

Dr. Xie was trembling with anger: "This..., is this yamen open for money? Is there still a king's law in the world?"

The old woman hurriedly covered his mouth in a panic: "Master, keep your voice down!"

Doctor Xie's son also said: "Yes, father, this day is their day, they can do whatever they want!"

"Nonsense!" Dr. Xie's white beard trembled, "This day belongs to the emperor, not him..."

As soon as he said this, Dr. Xie's mouth was blocked by the old woman: "My lord, things are not settled at the in-law's side, so don't make trouble again!"

Dr. Xie slapped the old woman's hand away, spat on the ground twice, and said, "Okay, I won't say anything, but your hands haven't been washed for a few days, they stink to death!"

The old woman hastily wiped her hands on the hem of her skirt.

Dr. Xie asked again, "Then what's going on now?"

The daughter-in-law choked and said, "The family doesn't have much money, where can we get together the 500 taels of silver? After much discussion and discussion, we had to sell the land. Anyway, there is no way to grow crops in this land."

Dr. Xie sighed: "Oh! If this goes on like this, how will ordinary people survive! ——Is there enough money to sell the land?"

"It's not enough. With the house, it's barely enough."

Doctor Xie was stunned for a moment: "With so many lands, isn't it even worth 500 taels of silver?

Xie's son said with a bitter face: "If you really want to sell it, you can sell it for 1000 taels. Their fields are almost all good fields that can guarantee harvest in drought and flood!"

"Then how did this happen?"

"Father, you practice medicine all day long, and you don't know anything about the land. The yamen has issued a notice a long time ago, saying that private annexation of land is not allowed, and offenders will be punished severely. It is said that this is to let the farmers have their fields. Really Those who are in a hurry, and those who are in a hurry to use money, can pawn the fields to the yamen, saying that they will redeem them when they have money in the future."

Dr. Xie praised: "This method is very good, why not pawn it to the Yamen? You can redeem it when you have money in the future."

"Father! Do you believe these nonsense?"

"What do you mean?"

"Pawned to the Yamen, the pawn price is very low! It is half of the land price at most. And the pawn period is only one year! And the interest is more expensive than the green crop law, and it costs six cents! If you don't redeem it at the maturity date, it will be considered a sale!"

"Ah? That is to say, after a year, it will have to more than double to be redeemed?"

"Yes, father, think about it, can this house be redeemed? Isn't that equivalent to selling it to the Yamen at half price?"

Pawning is actually a way of mutual assistance between common people in ancient times. One party pawns the house to the other party. The house does not count rent, and the money does not count interest.If the house is not redeemed, the house will belong to the mortgagee, which is called an absolute sale.The yamen's release of codes is just under the guise of this name, and it is no longer a rule for the release of codes.

Doctor Xie said, "Isn't this exploiting the common people in disguise?"

The old woman was so frightened that she hurried to cover the doctor's mouth again.Dr. Xie was on guard and turned his head away.He continued to ask: "If it can't be redeemed, it will be regarded as a sale, what will the Yamen do with these lands?"

"I don't know about this, it wasn't mentioned in the announcement."

Doctor Xie said: "It must have been privately shared by them for profit!"

The old woman didn't cover Dr. Xie's mouth this time. She looked at Dr. Xie. She didn't know why her husband had become so cynical after being put in prison these days. There is still a lot of trauma left in the depths, and I have some grudges against the Yamen.

Dr. Xie asked: "Has the in-laws redeemed?"

"Not yet!" the daughter-in-law cried again.

"Why? Didn't you sell the land to raise money?"

"No, when we went to conduct the ceremony yesterday, we realized that each county has its own agent. The government does not handle this directly. The agent of our county was the last time you treated his daughter. The old man Wang who was falsely accused by him!"

Dr. Xie was taken aback: "It's him? No wonder he is so arrogant. I mean, he was convicted because of a doctor's misdiagnosis. I haven't heard of anyone like this. I was arrested and punished. I thought I was unlucky, but it turned out that he, the old man Wang, had an affair with the yamen, he couldn't get angry, so he found the yamen master and sentenced me indiscriminately!"

"Sir! You can't say that!"

"That's right!" Xie's son lowered his voice and said, "Just yesterday, when we went to find Mr. Wang to deal with the scriptures, we found Mr. Wang, but he said he was not free and asked us to come back in a few days. Let's meet some Yamen Zaoli is helping to pack things and load the car, as if he is going to go out in a hurry."

"What? He needs the help of Yamen Zaoli when he moves?"

"Isn't that right, but it doesn't seem like we're moving. We're in such a panic as if we're fleeing. We just stood and watched the excitement from a distance. Then we saw a few military masters coming and said something to the Zaoli in the yamen. Those Zaolis The slaves sneaked away one by one. Then the military master took Mr. Wang and his wife away. In the afternoon, when my mother and I sent you to ask Mr. Ti Xing for help, we saw those guards, so we knew who they were. The military master is the one who prosecutes the Grand Master."

"Oh, the Grand Master Ti Xing should have sent them to arrest Mrs. Wang to cross-examine my case."

"Not only that, but this morning, we thought that Mr. Wang had gone back, so we went to his house again, and wanted to ask him to finish the matter of issuing the code first, so that we could use the money to go to the Yamen to redeem you. As a result, we went and saw several Where is the military master? I looked for people to ask about it. But no one dared to tell them. I didn't know that you were sick at the time, so I was not in a hurry to come back. I went to listen while I was waiting. They seemed to be asking questions About the crops, I asked why the crops were not growing in the field, who sold the field to, and asked after seeing Mr. Wang, he was very polite, saying that the person who brought the punishment to the old man was asking some things, waiting for them After I finished my work and left, I immediately set up the court for me. He even told me I’m sorry, Dad. I was very strange at the time, and I didn’t know what was going on. I only found out that Dad had been acquitted after asking. We were very happy and didn’t care about it. When they do the ceremony, they will come back..."

"Wait!" Doctor Xie said, "What did you just say? What did Mr. Ti Xing's guards ask?"

Xie's son didn't know why his father cared about this seemingly irrelevant matter, so he hurriedly replied: "They asked why the crops didn't grow and who sold the fields to. So! That's all I heard, and nothing else."

Dr. Xie pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Help me up!"

The old woman and her son and daughter-in-law were taken aback: "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to see the judge!" Dr. Xie said blatantly, "You guys go with me!"

------------

The next morning.

Liao Guibing didn't expect Du Wenhao to leave so soon, and he didn't even finish training the stable woman and the female officer.

Liao Guibing's persuasion seemed so sincere, he couldn't see why Du Wenhao left, and last night there was a quarrel and a good deal of drinking and talking?The blazing bonfire, the fragrant food, and everyone's endless laughter are not just pretending. He thought that Du Wenhao would stay at least ten days, because of the landscape of the Lijiang River, he only saw ten days. Less than one-tenth of it, but looking back, since Du Wenhao had made up his mind to go, it would be useless to try to keep him, so he had to order his subordinates to prepare some things. You can do yourself a favor.

Liao Guibing personally led all the officials in the yamen, as well as the gentry and celebrities in the city, and sent Du Wenhao and his party out of Shilipo outside the city.

Liao Guibing got off his horse and walked to Du Wenhao's car. Du Wenhao had already stepped out of the car. Liao Guibing seemed a little excited. , or why did you suddenly propose to leave?"

Du Wenhao smiled and said: "Master Liao has a lot of things to do every day. I am here to cause trouble for Mr. Liao."

Liao Guibing suddenly panicked, not knowing whether Du Wenhao was speaking ironically, he hurriedly waved his hands: "Master Du is serious, it is rare for you to come here, you should stay for a few more days, there are still many places where the humble officials have not accompanied you to visit. No……"

Du Wenhao: "No, I appreciate Master Liao's kindness. It's getting late. You should go back, sir. We are going to Liuzhou too."

Liao Guibing bowed and said: "Beizhi really feels reluctant to part with Mr. Du, so I'd better let me give you a ride."

"Where is Lord Liao going to send us? The capital?" Wen Hao teased with a smile.

"Xiaozhi really wants to, but the responsibility is that the chief officials of the prefectures and counties don't have imperial orders, so they are absolutely still going out privately. How about this, please allow the humble officials to be sent to the border of Jingjiang Mansion, what do you think?"

Du Wenhao said: "There will be a farewell to sending you off for thousands of miles. I don't feel good about Mr. Liao. Since Mr. Liao insists, let's continue to see you off."
