Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 120
Xu is that although Su Tong is young, he doesn't look like someone who can talk nonsense.

Or maybe the young man of the Zhou family was so anxious that he wanted to try everything. The Zhou family all agreed with and supported Miss Su's method of treating his young lady. After a while, a group of servants finally settled down. Get down, words and deeds began to become orderly.

After staying up for half the night, until it was dark the next day, the temperature on the little lady of the Zhou family finally subsided, but the child was crying endlessly in her dream. Seeing the pitiful child, Su Tong put on a calming motion for her again. The prescription, let people boil it well and feed it, and then they can fall asleep peacefully.

Su Tong was so tired that he was dizzy, thinking that no wonder rich families had to raise a bunch of wet nurses, children were really hard to take care of, and taking care of just one would be so exhausting that one would wish to die, if there were four or five babies in the family It's totally impossible for a woman to take care of her little devil.

"Little lady is probably exhausted, please rest in the humble house."

As soon as Su Tong raised his head, he saw that the face of the young gentleman of the Zhou family was slightly distorted. Although he tried his best to show a gentleman's demeanor in front of her, he couldn't hide his anger.

This is a private matter, and Su Tong is not easy to inquire about it, so he told the maids to keep an eye on the child's temperature. Seeing her thoughtful look, Xiaoying whispered: "The kidnappers are rampant these days, our little lady is disobedient, she ran out to play, not only got caught in the rain, but almost got caught by the kidnappers , was frightened, and this is the only way to get sick."

After Xiaoying explained in detail, Su Tong found out that today the little lady of the Zhou family took her servants to the nearby market to play. As a result, the child was young, running wildly, and her body was flexible. He didn't follow for a while, and actually asked a man to wrap up his little lady with his clothes on his head and face, and took away. Fortunately, some of the Zhou family's servants were very skilled, so they squeezed through the crowd and chased after them. The local people acted bravely and snatched their little lady back anyway.

"Hey, our little lady was frightened at first, and we encountered wind and rain on the way back, but she suffered." Xiaoying said with a distressed face, "That kidnapper really deserves to be cut into pieces, just right, because of the rain. Lu, that bastard can’t be sent to the yamen, so we’re tied up in the firewood shed right now, and when the little lady wakes up, I’ll give him a good beating so that I can vent my anger.”

Su Tong was startled when he heard the words: "The kidnapper hasn't been sent to the Yamen yet?"

"Yes, the county government is far away. After reporting to Lizheng, the elders will be locked up at home first. When the rain stops, it will not be too late for the elders to send them to the county government."

The heavy rain was still falling, and the rain water hit the bluestone ground with a momentum as magnificent as thunder.

Su Tong stopped and stopped, frowned and said: "I'm afraid there is not only one person like this kind of kidnapper. Now that the road is blocked by heavy rain, if there is a trial, it may be possible to wipe out this gang of scourges."

Although she didn't know much about it, when she was in Kaifeng, she heard from Gao Zhenren and the others that the kidnappers were mostly gangs and rarely acted alone. Now that it's raining so heavily and it's in the mountains, generally speaking Well, no one dares to rush in the rain, if they move fast enough, maybe they can catch some kidnappers.

Generally speaking, Miss Su is not really a cold-blooded and ruthless person. Although she doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, she will always help out when encountering injustice.

After all, she was born in the Jianghu. Back then, her father said that the older the Jianghu, the darker her heart, but there must be a bottom line. If an old Jianghu has no bottom line, sooner or later it will hurt herself.

The so-called outdated rules of the world are still engraved in the blood of the Su family and other families that have been passed down for hundreds of years, and they refuse to abandon them lightly.

Xiaoying sighed: "How can I not know this truth? That kidnapper is hateful, as soon as he was caught, we sent someone to interrogate him, but he is a hard bone, he will not be recruited if he is killed, so he can only leave it to the government to investigate."

Su Tong casually rubbed his cold hands, and said with a smile: "It's better to ask my family's servants to ask, do your best to obey the destiny, if you can ask something, it will be a merit."

After all, the Zhou family is just an ordinary merchant. Su Tong saw that their servants did not look well-trained. Moreover, how could ordinary people interrogate prisoners? For ordinary thieves, it's okay to ask, but it's really impossible to ask anything if you encounter a hard stubble.

However, when Xiaoying heard what Su Tong said, she was a little surprised, because all the servants of the Su family looked gentle and polite, as if they could read a few words, as if they were from a scholarly family, she really didn't expect the Su family to be so The little lady dared to intervene in such matters, pondered for a moment, and said: "If you want to interrogate, little lady, there is nothing wrong with it, but we are not from the government after all, so it is not easy to use lynching..."

If a group of people go up and beat people up and beat them to death, it doesn't matter if they are beaten to death. Firstly, the law does not punish the public. Secondly, the government will reward such acts of righteousness and bravery. But after arresting people, they will also use lynching at home. , I am afraid it is not suitable.

Su Tong laughed and shook his head: "Don't worry, my people won't let him see blood, let alone kill him, just ask Xiaoying to lend me a secluded place, um, it's best to be so quiet that you can't hear anything sound."

As for interrogation techniques, Su Tong knew a lot from several secret agents in the United States back then. Extorting a confession by torture is always a bad strategy. Under normal circumstances, it is to take advantage of certain weaknesses in human nature and use psychological control methods to make people voluntarily submit.

Of course, dealing with the current kidnapper is not in the age of the 21st century when the legal system is sound. It doesn't take much trouble at all, just use some interrogation methods that will no longer be used publicly in the future.

"Well, there is a cellar at home. Because it is too cold, it has not been used for a long time. It is empty. Please use it as you please, little lady."

Su Tong nodded, and directly called a servant from his father, and whispered a few words.

They didn't do anything, they just had the kidnapper blindfolded and moved to the cellar. The place was really dark, there was no light, and they couldn't hear the sound outside. Even Su Tong went down to look, and his whole body was hairy.

Throw him away, don't give him food and water, don't let him go to the toilet, let alone talk to him...

This person's psychological quality is really not very good. Within three hours, he was crying and shouting at his mother and saying everything.

When the kidnapper was lifted out, Xiaoying and the maidservants were stunned by the sluggish look of the kidnapper. They couldn't understand why this guy couldn't stand it for such a short period of time just by letting him stay in the cellar.

Su Tong was also a little surprised. She didn't expect it to be so easy. In fact, she still thought, if it doesn't work, then she can also try waterboarding, pretending to draw blood, and other psychologically terrifying methods. Look at what those people said Psychologically disruptive ideas work or not.

Unexpectedly, before Ms. Su had time to use her tactics, that guy would attack them all, and kept saying that he would lead them to arrest his accomplices.

"I'll go...I'll take you there...There are still ten women who haven't been sold, and it's raining again, they will definitely not leave..."

The man snotted and cried, and wept bitterly, making the servants of the Zhou family look at each other, not knowing what to do.

Su Tong frowned and said: "There are still abducted women. I originally wanted to wait until the rain stopped, but since there are still victims, we should save them and free them earlier. If we delay time, I'm afraid Something will happen."

The people of the Zhou family have long been filled with righteous indignation.

Xiaoying repeatedly assured: "Little lady, please rest, and I will tell my lord to call someone immediately. Most of the strong laborers in the village are at home, and I will definitely be able to rescue him."

Su Tong thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you. I'm afraid I won't be able to find a doctor right now. I know some medical principles. If someone is injured, I can help."

The young man of the Zhou family was originally unwilling to work for Su Tong to take risks, but after seeing Miss Su insisted, he didn't object too much. If it wasn't for his sister's illness, I don't know if it would come back again, maybe he would go with her Look, this young gentleman of the Zhou family hates kidnappers even more than Su Tong. After all, his precious girl is also one of the victims.

Su Tong and Xiaoying, with a group of servants from the Zhou family and the Su family, first went to Lizheng, and then called more than 30 men, old and young, from the village. wind and rain.This is also the simplicity of the folk customs. The common people naturally have a strong hatred for those kidnappers. When encountering such a thing, they will never stand by and watch.

Like a group of kidnappers, leading a group of women, it is obviously impossible to stay in the village or town. The kidnappers bowed their heads and led people into the mountains tremblingly. The more they walked, the more remote the road became, and the little shadow wrinkled Frowning, he swung the whip on the man's back, and said angrily: "Be honest, don't you want to play tricks?"

The man trembled with fear, and said in a trembling voice: "No, no, just ahead, behind the Wanfo Cave on the east side of Zhoushan Mountain, there is a bamboo forest, and there is a nunnery inside. The old nun belongs to us."

Xiaoying was stunned, her face flushed with anger, she pouted, and said angrily: "It's really dirty ears, Buddhism is supposed to be a pure place, but I didn't expect it to hide filth."

Su Tong sighed, and didn't make a fuss about this kind of thing. She had heard of it, and many nunneries were not clean places at all.

Xiaoying said a few words of encouragement loudly, and there Zheng promised again: "Everyone, work harder, if you can catch the kidnapper and save us from this great disaster, Meng Zhizhou will definitely reward you."

A group of people just headed against the wind and rain and kept on their way. One of them, a middle-aged man in his 40s, said with a smile: "We can't let those guys harm the village without rewards. Last year, the daughter of the old Wang's family in the neighboring village was kidnapped." Yes, Lao Wang has been looking for half a year, but there is no news, and the couple almost went blind from crying."
