Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 267 Poisoning
Almost in the blink of an eye, Su Tong saw figures outside the bathroom.

If it were described in comics at this time, three black lines would definitely appear on her head. When she was taking a shower, there was actually a group of people surrounded outside...

Su Tong snatched the clothes from A Zhen's hand and put them on carefully. A Zhen stood aside, her face full of fear, her legs and feet trembling. The little maid holding the fragrance outside was even more frightened and her teeth chattered.

"Okay, don't worry, as soon as you hear the sound, you are outside the gate, and it has nothing to do with us."

Having said that, both Su Wencheng and Li Xiuniang were alarmed, and it was the first time that Su Wencheng discovered that there were ten times more guards protecting his daughter than himself.

He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

In fact, Su Wencheng just made a slight guess, and didn't know the specific reason, let alone that the real identity of Xiang Xiaoyu's wife was so special. He probably thought that his daughter was lovable and won the favor of the eldest princess, so the eldest princess Only then did he take care of his daughter a little more.

Perhaps any father feels that his own flesh and blood are the most lovable, and whoever treats his daughter well should be.

After a moment of confusion, a female envoy rushed over from outside to deliver the message.

"Little lady, please rest assured and sleep peacefully. The rouge shop across the door was flooded. The fire is not big. It has been extinguished now."

Ah Zhen breathed a sigh of relief: "I really scared this slave to death."

These days, the strings in my heart are tense, and the female envoys who are close to the family are often told to pay attention to the safety of the little lady, and it is inevitable to be overly nervous.

Su Tong smiled and asked Ah Zhen to wring her hair dry before returning to the room. When she left the bathroom, the figures outside disappeared again.

After thinking about it, Su Tong smiled and said, "Let the kitchen not turn off the fire at night, boil the broth, cut the meat into larger pieces, spread out some pancakes, and add two eggs to each pan."

A Zhen wrote down one by one.

Now that the weather is cold and freezing, Su Tong really feels that if he stands outside and blows the cold wind for most of the night, his body will not be affected. If there is some hot soup and rice, he will probably feel more comfortable.

As for whether the cook in the kitchen would be surprised when she saw that the broth in the pot bottomed out the next day... None of the servants of the Su family were stupid, and none of them were surprised when they saw this kind of vision.

Su Tong felt a little regretful that he didn't see it as lively.

After a good night's sleep, Su Tong got up in the morning to bring a food box to his father, sent him out, and said with a smile: "The servants at home are too nervous. There is only one thousand days to be a thief in the world. There is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days. Everyone Just take it easy."

Su Wencheng was also speechless.

The problem is that the people in the yamen have almost searched the entire capital, and they can't find a smart doctor from a foreign country. Of course, there are smart doctors, but they have been rooted in the local area for many years. There are still basic morals, and no one will inexplicably fall ill and mutilate girls and young women.

Kaifeng Mansion can't think about it, except to impose patrols.

However, the prisoner seemed to have disappeared and did not commit another crime. Fu Ye was even more worried about this, fearing that the next target of the prisoner would really be Su Tong.

There was an incident last night, but the atmosphere in the house has eased a lot. It is probably because the string is too tight. Although an arrow is shot, although it misses, it still suddenly relaxes. too tight.

Seeing the group of lively female envoys recovering their spirits again, Su Tong was also happy, and even decided to visit Chen Mo's house in the afternoon.

She has been at home for a long time, and she always has to go out for activities and see the sunshine.

Su Tong changed into a new autumn outfit, with a wide robe and wide sleeves. Although it is a men's style, it will not be mistaken by others. There are many young ladies on the street who like to dress like men, not to conceal their gender, but to Easy to walk, or feel pretty and good-looking.

But before they left the house, a group of officials from Kaifeng Mansion entered the house, went straight to the kitchen, checked the water tanks one by one, and breathed a sigh of relief after the inspection.

Captain Zou took the lead.

Su Tong was startled, frowned and asked, "Catcher Zou, what's the matter?"

"Young lady, is this going out? For the time being, don't move around. A large-scale poisoning phenomenon suddenly appeared in the capital today. Up to now, there have been more than 100 people. At first, the patient had a fever, and everyone thought it was typhoid fever. It's getting bigger and bigger, and the situation is getting more and more serious. The doctor finally diagnosed that he might be poisoned. Your husband has already gone to see Lu Xianggong, and Lu Xianggong also went to the palace to face the saint."

Su Tong was taken aback: "Poisoned?"

"Yes, the imperial doctor came to see it and said it was a kind of poison, but he didn't know what kind of poison it was, and he couldn't make an antidote." Detective Zou was also devastated, "We asked all the patients, and they all drank alcohol. The water started to feel uncomfortable, so we suspect the poison is getting into the water source."

"Almost all the common people who went out to buy water to drink were poisoned, and a few were dying. It seemed that they were going to die. The situation was very bad."

While talking, Ah Xia rode over, and when he saw Su Tong, he shouted loudly.

"Something happened in the academy. Both Fu Dahu and Fu Erbao were poisoned. They have already used the medicine, but it didn't help much. Now the high fever doesn't go away... what should I do?"

Su Tong sighed. Fortunately, they had their own well at home and stored a lot of water, so they were fine for the time being. When the solution is reached, the common people have no water to drink, so it’s okay, they can live for a few more days without food, but they can’t do without water.

Detective Zou also knew what Su Tong was thinking: "We have sent medical officers to various water sellers to find the source. It seems that there is something wrong with the water source nearby."

The whole street was in a mess, making people panic. Su Tong didn't have the energy to go out to play. He only asked about the situation of his relatives and friends. It seemed that except for Fu Dahu and Fu Erbao, two naughty boys running around, no acquaintances were poisoned. .

All the yamen servants in the capital were on the move, the Queen Mother and the Holy Majesty in the palace were also very concerned, and Su Wencheng was even more exhausted and out of breath.

At this moment, Mr. Su Lang really wanted to listen to his daughter's words. Looking for a leisurely job in the future, the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture is not easy to do, and he has to do something like this for a few more years.

However, it is indeed easier to make achievements.

Su Tong was in a hurry, and then he heard that the murderer who poisoned him threw himself into the trap.

The murderer claimed to be surnamed Gu, surnamed Han, styled Feizhi, without a Taoist title, and looked very young, about 27 or [-] years old, with a beautiful appearance, dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a whisk, and dressed like a Taoist real person.

When he came to surrender, he was very calm, and he only made one request - let Su Tong break his heart and use it as a medicine for him, and if he got the medicine, he would save the people who were poisoned.

"Before, everyone just learned a little bit about the power of poison. If it is not what I want, my friend will put the poison anywhere. You don't believe me and try it, or try to detoxify yourself?"

Su Wencheng's head suddenly became dizzy.
