Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 111 Magical Instruments
The steward's face was snow-white, and he stared at the jade pendant for a long while, with cold sweat running down his forehead: "This...it's impossible! This dragon pendant was given to my master by the eldest princess, and Feng Pei has always been by my wife's side. An extra pair?"

Su Tong shook his head, took the jade pendant back from Zhao Tuiguan, took off the black silk wrapped on it, threw it to the steward next to him, and said coldly: "This jade pendant is my mother's relic. Carry it with you, but it is easy not to show it to others. You want witnesses, but it is not easy. Some relatives and friends in the hometown of Taizhou may have seen it. Here you go, besides, your master’s name is not written on my jade pendant, so you can’t just randomly identify it.”

After finishing speaking, Su Tong raised his eyebrows and glanced at the black silk and satin. He only felt that the silk and satin were quite luxurious and expensive.

If it wasn't suitable at this time, maybe she wanted to inquire about it and make friends with the owner of the house, but at this moment, it is not appropriate to be troublesome, Su Tong sighed in his heart, turned his head and supported her father's arm, turned his head and walked away want to leave.

Unexpectedly, the father and daughter just turned around, the steward was stunned for a while, then suddenly straightened up and said in shock: "Little lady, don't lie to us with empty words, look clearly, this The name of my master is engraved on the satin."

He grabbed Zhao Tuiguan with an expression as if he had caught a life-saving straw. He held the satin in front of Zhao Tuiguan, and said anxiously with red eyes: "Mr. , the name of my master is embroidered on this satin."

Zhao Tuiguan frowned, held up the satin, and illuminated it under the light, and sure enough, there were two characters embroidered with silver thread - Yuanshan, but the satin was black, and the silver thread was very thin, so it was hard to see clearly.

"This square of satin has been wrapping my master's jade pendant."

"Little lady, look, how do you explain this?" Zhao Tuiguan casually raised the satin to Su Tong's eyes, and said expressionlessly.

Su Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This satin doesn't belong to my family in the first place. Satin like this is obviously a rare thing. Only the nobles in the palace have it. How could it be in my family?" She paused before finishing her sentence. Thinking of it, it seems that she is not without this kind of satin. Zhao Wanrong once gave her a better quality than this one, saying that it was used as a gift for her sister-in-law when her father got married, and it looked more decent.

Coughing lightly, Su Tong exhaled, and sighed, "I thought it was the careful manager who wrapped it with the satin I brought with me just now. Why, it's not like that?"

Officer Zhao Tui and the steward looked at each other, the steward turned pale and said angrily, "I found this satin from your house. Officer Zhao Tui can testify to this. It is placed on the table by the window. As soon as I go in, I will find it." I see, little lady, don’t argue any more. Although I don’t know how you got this phoenix pendant, this dragon pendant must belong to my family. One pair of such jade pendants is already amazing, how could there be two pairs? identical?"

Seeing the manager showing his teeth and claws, Su Wencheng was afraid that he would hurt his daughter, so he protected Su Tong behind his back, and said coldly: "Don't spout blood, talk nonsense, if my daughter really stole the jade pendant, why is your satin so special? It might just be thrown on the table."

In a word, the manager and Zhao Tuiguan also fell silent.

Officer Zhao Tui sighed, and said with a wry smile: "It's true that the public says that the public is right and the wife says that the woman is reasonable. Anyway, it's easy to find out whether the Su family has dragon and phoenix jade pendants. If such things are really released in the Su family, hurry up." In 20 years, someone will always know, don’t worry everyone.”

In fact, even the steward was a little dubious in his heart, thinking that Zhuang Yuanlang and his daughter were unlikely to come to steal their family's jade pendant.

Moreover, this jade pendant is very important in the hands of their master, and it is a very important token, but in the hands of outsiders, it is just two jade pendants of suet white jade. It's just a dead thing. A person like Zhuangyuan Lang who is about to become famous and has a bright future is absolutely impossible to do such things regardless of his own reputation.

Scholars in the Song Dynasty paid great attention to their reputation. If their reputation was damaged, their official career would be hopeless. Like Su Wencheng, who worked so hard to pass the Jinshi examination and was still the top three, how could he make fun of his own future?

It is a thief's business to slander the champion casually, and they dare not do it!Officer Zhao Tui took a look at the steward, obviously the two of them were not strangers, why not: "How about this, please ask Su Langjun to hand over the jade pendant to me, and I will take it to Chen Langjun to have a look, Chen Guanshi doesn't care about the jade pendant." It's not familiar, and there may be mistakes for a while, but I believe that Chen Langjun himself will definitely recognize his own jade pendant."

Su Wencheng frowned and hesitated for a while.

Su Tong didn't even think about it, so he handed the jade pendant over.

Su Wencheng was startled, and pulled his daughter.

Su Tong sighed and said in a low voice: "Father, since the black satin was found in my daughter's room, even if it is not a serious criminal evidence, it still prevents my daughter from staying out of the matter. Absolutely can't go, but it's okay to show them the jade pendant—I believe that with Chen Langjun's status, he will never snatch other people's things casually."

Su Wencheng spoke a few more words with Zhao Tuiguan, and finally the two sides compromised with each other. Su Tong and Su Wencheng went home first. Anyway, the two of them could run away. .

This pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants was taken by Zhao Tuiguan to show Chen Langjun himself.

The steward of the Chen family was stunned, apparently quite frightened, looking at the father and daughter of the Su family with strange eyes.

After such a fuss, Su Wencheng naturally lost his leisure time, and quickly ordered the boy to pack his things and prepare to go home. Su Tong looked at the sky, estimated the time, and asked Zhao Tuiguan with a smile, "Excuse me, when the incident happened?" , Is it a moment in time?"

Zhao Tuiguan nodded: "What? What does the little lady think of?"

Su Tong shrugged, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just curiosity."

She rolled her eyes and saw that the raindrops were still falling. Although they were small, they didn't show signs of stopping for a while. She turned her head again and saw the steward sitting at the table in a daze, beating Trembling, he suddenly said: "Chen Guanshi, do you know that there is a high-level real person in Kaifeng Mansion who can exorcise evil spirits and catch demons, and has great magical powers?"

Manager Chen was obviously in a trance. Hearing Su Tong's question, he raised his head after a long while and said, "Of course I know, the Eldest Princess admires him very much. My husband has also met Gao Zhenren twice. He never believes in ghosts and gods, but always It is said that Gao Zhenren has the demeanor of a master."

Su Tong smiled: "Gao Zhenren has a magic weapon, which is said to bring back the soul of a person who died not long ago. I don't know whether it is true or not, but I just found it interesting, so I borrowed it from Gao Zhenren. He is always open-minded. It was really given to me."

Chen Guanshi was taken aback when he heard the words, even Zhao Tuiguan raised his head and looked at Su Tong.

Su Tong shrugged: "The resurrection of the dead sounds absurd, and Gao Zhenren also said that it doesn't work all the time, only when the dead still lingers in the world, can it succeed, but anyway, Now you can't find out the truth for a while, and the rain hasn't stopped, why don't we all try, if we can really bring the dead back to life, maybe we can find the murderer."

Chen Guanshi and Zhao Tuiguan obviously didn't believe it, and even Su Wencheng frowned and said, "A Tong, there is no such thing, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhao Tuiguan was particularly displeased, "Little lady, this is the scene of a murder case, don't joke..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Su Tong's face was calm, and he didn't seem to be talking nonsense at all. However, this little girl was young, but she had her own momentum, and it was easy for others to believe what she said.

Su Tong took a deep breath, took a few people into the house, took out a pouch from the medicine box that he always carried with him, and took out a crystal clear bottle from it.

Under the light, the bottle is actually colorful and dazzling.

Zhao Tuiguan took a closer look and said in surprise, "Is this medicine jade? The relic bottle of medicine jade?"

Su Tong nodded: "I'm also surprised, why Gao Zhenren is a disciple of Taoism, but the treasure in his hand is actually a Buddhist magic weapon. He only said that this magic weapon was obtained by accident, but it has magical effects, so he brought it with him Playing around all the time, I don’t care if it’s Buddhist or Taoist.”

At that time, glass was often used to make Buddhist instruments. Zhao Tuiguan and Chen Guanshi were well-informed people, so they had seen it before, but those medicine jades were not as pure as the one in front of them.

But Su Tong thought it was fun. When making such a glass bottle for holding pills, it was shaped like a gourd, which looked more like a Buddhist magic weapon.

At this moment, even a rational person like Zhao Tuiguan believed Su Tong's words to a certain extent. In this day and age, people instinctively believe in gods and Buddhas.

Chen Guanshi nodded again and again: "Please go ahead and give it a try, little lady. If you can successfully help me find the lost property, I will reward you with a great gift." Although he still doubted Su Tong a little, it was obvious that his jade pendant It is very important to him, and he dare not be careless in the slightest.

Su Tong nodded, and exhaled: "To be honest, although I have heard Gao Zhenren talk about how to use this magic weapon, Gao Zhenren also said that I should be able to use it, but I am naturally timid. I really feel hairy."

Su Wencheng was full of black lines when he heard it, and seeing his daughter's seriousness, he was annoyed in his heart, and decided to go home and close the door to teach this girl a lesson. She is a little girl talking nonsense about such weird things. What!
