Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 264
The guest room in Kaifeng Mansion is very simple, except for a bed, a table and a chair, there is nothing else, and the walls are gray and yellow, with old colors.

When Fu Ye and Su Tong entered the door, the boy who was only eleven or twelve years old was pacing in the room. When he saw Fu Ye, he looked anxious: "My sister is still in the Zhang family, and his little lady killed someone. If you know that I came to report the crime, there is no way for my sister to survive, sir, please do me a favor, please do me a favor, let me go quickly."

As he spoke, tears flowed down his face.

He also regretted it at the moment. When he found out about the announcement of the Kaifeng Mansion and heard about the recent tragedies that happened in the capital, he rushed to the government office to report the case in a flash, but he never thought that his sister would stay at the Zhang family. A mistake, didn't it cost his life.

Fu Ye frowned: "Don't worry, the prefect of Su has sent police to search Zhang's house, and they will definitely protect your sister. Please tell the matter carefully again, and don't make half a lie."

The kid reassured that his sister was absolutely fine, so he reluctantly reassured, frowned and said: "It was more than two months ago, the Zhang family bought someone, and my sister and I signed a five-year contract with their family. My younger sister was sent to help in the kitchen, and I did some odd jobs in the yard."

"The little lady of the Zhang family has been weak and sick since she was a child, but she has a very good temperament. She is even more lenient when she stays. She often buys snacks for my sister and me. Two months ago, the little lady suddenly called me over and took out a stack of Drawings, ordered me to find a proper blacksmith, and made many knives and odds and ends according to the drawings."

The boy glanced at the wooden box that Fu Ye handed over, as if he couldn't bear to see it, but he still nodded and said: "That's all, even the wooden box was made by me, but I have never seen this waist knife before, and these threads , and medicine are not used by my little lady."

Fu Ye was startled, thoughtful.

The boy looked at the mulberry thread for a while, and his face was extremely depressed: "A while ago, my little lady said that she wanted to study medicine, and she also wanted to learn Hua Tuo's magical skills. The doctor who is proficient in Hua Tuo's magical skills is also a very young lady, she thought that if other women can learn, she can too."

Su Tong was stunned. On the ground in Huainan, Hua Tuo's magical skills seemed to be talking about... himself?

The boy lowered his head and was very sad: "My little lady was weak since she was a child, and she was suffering from intestinal ulcer, which could not be cured for a long time, and finally died of illness. She has always wanted to study medicine, hoping to learn the medical skills that can cure intestinal ulcer, but Mr. If you don’t want to, it’s delayed until now, and now the little lady can study medicine, we are also happy.”

Common people don't care about the etiquette of those big families. They really think that the girls in the family can learn a craft and earn money to support the family.

After asking several times, Su Tong was sure that the kid wasn't lying.

Fu Ye frowned: "Although the surviving pregnant women were overly frightened, they couldn't tell whether the assailant was a man or a woman. Could it be that the young lady of the Zhang family was disguised as a man?"

Su Tong raised his eyebrows: "Impossible. I heard from this boy that the young lady of the Zhang family has not been practicing medicine for a long time. I have seen the wound of Yan Xiaosan and his wife. I don't have three or five years of experience, so I can't treat it so well... Since that little lady is starting to study medicine, she must have a master."

Fu Ye couldn't help laughing, he was probably in the middle of the game, so he wasn't clear-headed enough, or Su Tong was sensible enough not to immediately regard someone as a murderer as soon as he heard that someone had reported the crime.

"A Tong, if you weren't the prefect's daughter, I would recommend you to be a female catcher."

Su Tong raised his eyebrows. If she hadn't had a father who was Su Wencheng, she might have defected to the yamen. It's just that she was more professional than a catcher.

These two people think that the young lady of the Zhang family is not the murderer, but they must have something to do with her, so they must take him back to Kaifeng mansion for questioning.

result--

"It's a slave who committed murder and is willing to subdue the law. I also ask the magistrate to punish him."

As soon as the young lady of the Zhang family entered the door, she prostrated herself and said only this sentence.

No matter how Su Wencheng asked, she would only answer this sentence, and kept urging, only saying that it was her own doing, and she was willing to be executed as soon as possible.

Su Wencheng got a headache from the quarrel, Su Tong heard it was funny, thought for a while, walked over and took the little lady's hand and looked at it for a while, and said: "The little lady's jade fingers are slender, suitable for playing piano and chess, and can also embroider flowers. Only the dancing of knives and guns, I am afraid the little lady can't do it."

The murderer was certainly a doctor, but he cut open the abdomen with a waist knife, his technique was skillful and swift, and the knife edge was very clean, it must have been done by a martial arts practitioner.

Hearing Su Tong's words, the little lady didn't move a single bit on her face, she just kowtowed fiercely and said loudly: "The magistrate Rongbao, the little girl has learned Hua Tuo's magical skills and is very confident in her skills. The capital murder case , It was indeed done by the little girl, these knives were specially made by the little girl, this is a fact, there is no need to ask, I ask the magistrate to close the case quickly, so that justice can be done to the deceased."

Su Wencheng: "..."

Su Tong couldn't laugh or cry, shook his head, simply reached out and picked up the waist knife, and handed it to the little lady.

This waist knife is good for everything, but when it is made, it has been tempered and the blade is very heavy. Su Tong's physical strength is not much worse than that of a man, and it is very laborious to hold it. Throw the knife to the ground.

Su Tong sighed: "You can't even hold a knife steadily, how can you commit murder?"

The little lady was stunned for a moment and shut up, but Su Tong suddenly lowered his head and frowned at her: "You haven't seen this waist knife? That wooden box, you didn't leave it in the inn on purpose. People from the yamen go to see it?"

The eyes of the young lady of the Zhang family flickered.

Su Tong clapped his hands, "So that's it, you really did it on purpose. It's just that you don't know what the murderer used to commit the murder. It's just that you have learned Hua Tuo's magical skills, so you subconsciously think that the murderer also used the same tool as you .”

The body of the young lady of the Zhang family trembled suddenly.

Su Tong shook his head: "The 'true murderer' didn't seem to want you to take the blame, so he added a waist knife to the wooden box. No wonder I always feel that putting a waist knife in this wooden box makes people look weird. He Since I am willing to deal with you, I must have known you, I wonder who the little lady learned Hua Tuo's magical skills from?"

Fu Ye exhaled, thinking, this matter is also very complicated, I am afraid that only a girl like Su Tong with a delicate heart can detect the clue in the blink of an eye.

However, the little lady of the Zhang family refused to speak again.

Su Tong was not angry, he just asked her to be taken care of temporarily, and together with Fu Ye, he visited all the victims again and asked them carefully. In the end, they found Gao Zhenren's head.
