Chapter 123 Six Flowers Flying 19

Watching Huo Weilou's carriage leave, Bao Ruoyou turned around and entered. He thought Cheng Yunzhi had rested, but he didn't expect that the lights were still bright in the room. Bao Ruoyou quickly walked to the main hall and saw no one in the hall, so he went to When she got to the study, she saw Cheng Yunzhi there, and what surprised her was that Cheng Yunzhi was holding a pharmacopoeia and reading it.

Bo Ruoyou was a little surprised, "Father, why are you still not resting at this late hour?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Aunt Liang came in from outside with hot tea, "Miss, the master has been busy all day. After the miss left at noon, Mr. Huang's house next door was still busy. In the afternoon, the young master of the Huang family woke up. , the drug addiction broke out again, and Mr. Huang had no choice but to come over and invite him, and he went over to help me all afternoon."

Bo Ruoyou was slightly surprised when he heard this. Cheng Yunzhi put down the pharmacopoeia and sighed: "The doctor they invited knew that Lin'er was poisoned by the gold ointment. He was a little scared in his heart and didn't dare to continue to see him. So his father came to invite him. Me."

Cheng Yunzhi raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his eyes, then moved his neck, "I haven't read like this in many years, I'm a little tired."

Bo Ruoyou raised her lips and stepped forward, "My daughter, give me a squeeze for your adoptive father."

She hit Cheng Yunzhi on the shoulder, and Cheng Yunzhi leaned back in the chair and half-closed his eyes. He then asked, "You are going out today. Do you know if their hospital has any antidote?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "Master Hou said he has no clue yet."

"It is indeed not easy. From the afternoon when Lin'er was sick to the evening, I watched him have a fit, and then slowly regained his consciousness, but I never saw how the drug addiction was gone. Yes, it would be fine if it fades away through patience every time, but it seems to me that it is not that simple. Judging from the pulse condition, it is also a state of imbalance of yin and yang, disorder of qi and blood, and reverse congestion."

Cheng Yunzhi sighed, "I have wasted a lot of time over the years."

Bo Ruoyou's eyes moved slightly when he heard these words, "Although my adoptive father has not practiced medicine outside these years, the foundation from the early years is still there. That is more than 20 years of accumulation. My daughter feels that no matter when you It’s not too late to practice medicine again. You are only in your forties now, and there are still decades to come. Compared with this, the leisure time you have spent in these few years is nothing.”

Cheng Yunzhi's eyes darkened slightly after hearing this. After a moment, he patted Bao Ruoyou's hand and said, "Okay, let's all go and have a rest. You are tired after running for most of the day today, and your adoptive father's body is also a little weak. Live."

Bo Ruoyou responded and helped Cheng Yunzhi to the bedroom. When he walked to his boudoir, he had a look of sadness on his face. Cheng Yunzhi was born in a medical family. If it hadn't been for the case of the Cheng family more than ten years ago, he would probably be sitting in the imperial hospital now. Position, not only has dignity and dignity, but also can help the world, but there is no such thing as "if" in this world.

However, Bo Ruoyou could see that Cheng Yunzhi's mind had wavered, especially when a patient suffering from a difficult and complicated disease was in front of him. In line with the instinct of a doctor, he would also think about how to treat such a disease, so he came up with this idea. In today's busy schedule, Bo Ruoyou really hopes that Cheng Yunzhi can practice medicine again, so that he can live up to his early years of hard study and the inheritance of the Cheng family, and also relieve the depression of these years. However, she is afraid that touching the past will make Cheng Yunzhi uncomfortable, so she dare not Please advise.

Early on the next morning, Bo Ruoyou got up to wash up and went to the main hall. He clearly saw that Cheng Yunzhi's teacup had already brewed tea, but Cheng Yunzhi was nowhere to be seen. Seeing this, Aunt Liang pointed to the study and said softly: " When I got up in the morning, I went into the study again."

Bo Ruoyou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he personally brought the tea cup to Cheng Yunzhi. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Cheng Yunzhi was still flipping through the book. There was thick ink in the inkstone beside him, and there were several prescriptions written and placed on the table. aside.

Seeing Bo Ruoyou coming, Cheng Yunzhi said: "Come over and take a look at these prescriptions. Do you think they can be used?"

Bao Ruoyou smiled and stepped forward, looked twice, and shook his head, "My daughter's knowledge is shallow and I can't tell, but the prescriptions prescribed by her adoptive father are definitely better than those prescribed by other doctors."

Cheng Yunzhi was amused by her, "There are many misunderstandings about this disease. I have thought of a way, but I don't know if it will be useful." He thought for a while and said: "The poison of the gold ointment is probably the injury. The patient's head is damaged, and most of the time after each poison attack, it will cause great damage to the person. Just now I asked Zhou Liang to go next door to have a look. He said that he had not eaten yesterday and had been crying all night. After falling asleep, if you have to endure it like this every time, your body will not be able to endure it."

The look in his eyes was determined, "Therefore, I wonder if I can't just cut off the gold paste."

Bao Ruoyou couldn't help but widen her eyes. Gold ointment is poison. Now the doctors are talking about it. But Cheng Yunzhi wants to do the opposite. She can't help but say: "Father, the Yamen is asking this question." Many patients have been treated, and these patients generally have one thing in common, that is, the longer people take gold ointment, the greater their addiction will be, and the more difficult it will be to suffer the onset of the drug."

Cheng Yunzhi shook his head, "No, that's not what I meant. Although it is continuous gold ointment, it does not allow them to drink it like before. For example, they used to use one or two coins, but now they use three coins, and then two coins. , one money. In addition, I also want to find some other medicinal materials to replace the gold ointment——"

Bao Ruoyou felt that this was a strange move. After all, this golden ointment was quite weird and could not be detoxified by ordinary gentle methods. She naturally had a different kind of trust in Cheng Yunzhi, so she said: "Father, you can give it a try. Anyway, at the moment There is no better way."

Cheng Yunzhi nodded and looked at the pharmacopoeia again.

Bo Ruoyou accompanied Cheng Yunzhi to read for a while, and then the father and daughter had breakfast together. After finishing breakfast, Cheng Yunzhi took Bo Ruoyou to Huang's house. When they arrived at Huang's house, Cheng Yunzhi explained how to treat Huang Lin. After hearing it again, Mr. Huang was a little apprehensive at first, but thinking that ordinary doctors were unwilling to diagnose and treat people who were poisoned by gold ointment, he had no choice but to agree.

"Just do what Brother Cheng did. I heard that the Imperial Hospital has not found an effective method yet. Lin'er has already wanted to die. I don't dare to delay it any longer. If Brother Cheng's method works, , then Brother Cheng will be Lin'er's reborn parents."

Cheng Yunzhi waved his hand and made it clear about the possible dangers of this method. After hearing this, Mr. Huang knew what was going on and thanked him repeatedly. However, he said with a grimace: "Of course I believe Brother Cheng, but there is no one at home. The gold ointment is available, but I heard that it is no longer available outside, and no one dares to sell it at this time. This is really difficult."

Gold cream has been completely banned in the capital. The Huang family are just ordinary people, so it is difficult to ask for favors. After hearing this, Bo Ruoyou said: "I can try to help find some gold cream."

Master Huang was naturally grateful, and soon he took his father and daughter to see Huang Lin.

Entering Huang Lin's bedroom, Bo Ruoyou saw a thin and dejected figure on the bed. Huang Lin was slumped on the bed with disheveled hair. He was obviously asleep with his eyes closed, but from time to time his body would tremble, and then Occasionally, he let out a cry-like moan, as if he had been tortured in his dream. There was still a white cloth wrapped around his forehead, and his face became more sallow, and he no longer had the youthful vigor.

Mr. Huang said softly: "I slept very restlessly. I put some tranquilizing pills in the water I drank in the morning, but if I use too much of these things, they are not good for the body. I don't know how long I can stay up like this. , he is at a good age. If he gets better in the future, but he dies, it will be the same as death."

Huang Lin's exposed wrists were quite bruised, most likely caused by the illness last night. Cheng Yunzhi gently checked for pulse and gave some instructions before taking Bo Ruoyou home.

"Youyou, are you looking for gold paste from the Yamen?"

Bao Ruoyou nodded, "The Yamen has confiscated a lot of gold paste. It should be easy for me to find some. I just thought about it. The method my adoptive father said was quite eccentric, but the more so, I'm afraid that the more surprising it is, if this method is effective, it can be implemented throughout the capital and even the southwest prefecture, and it can also benefit the people."

Cheng Yunzhi seemed not to have thought of such a long term, and hesitated for a moment without saying anything.

Bao Ruoyou asked Zhou Liang to prepare the carriage and horses, and quickly changed her clothes and went out. She wanted to go to the Yamen, but she didn't go far, and she was worried about Huo Weilou and last night's case. And she knew that Huo Weilou There was the gold ointment sent by Huo Qinghong there. I don't know if the gold ointment is still there. "Uncle Liang, let's go to the Hou Mansion and have a look."

Uncle Liang turned the horse's head. Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of Wu Zhaohou's mansion. The concierge was very familiar with her and immediately welcomed her in respectfully. When Bo Ruoyou asked, he found out that Huo Weilou was not at the Hou's mansion. She There was a moment of emptiness in my heart, but I walked in anyway. When I reached the door of the main courtyard, I saw Eunuch Fu walking out quickly, "Youyou is here!"

Bo Ruoyou understood the purpose of his visit, and Mr. Fu said fairly: "Oh, I know where the gold ointment you mentioned is. Not only did the Marquis who sent it from the prince put it away, but also all the things that the prince brought from the house that day. It’s put away, but why do you want this thing?”

Bo Ruoyou said hurriedly: "It's for my adoptive father to help treat people's illnesses."

She told the story about the Huang family. Eunuch Fu was slightly surprised when he heard it. He also didn’t expect Cheng Yunzhi to come up with such a cure. He didn’t say much and sat down with Bao Ruoyou. : "The Marquis came back last night. When he saw that the prince was well, he left again. He has not come back yet."

Bo Ruoyou was startled, "Didn't the Marquis stay up all night again?"

Eunuch Fu sighed, suddenly rolled his eyes, walked to the door and asked the attendant to invite Huo Weilou back. Seeing this, Bo Ruoyou hurriedly tried to stop him, but Eunuch Fu said: "It's okay, he should have come back to rest." Rest, the prince just had a poisonous attack."

Bo Ruoyou frowned, "Then father-in-law, please take me to see the crown prince first."

The two of them went to the guest house together. The guest house was guarded by attendants and the door was locked. It was quiet at this moment. Bo Ruoyou looked puzzled. Mr. Fu said: "The prince has given up now, Du. After the attack, I no longer made any fuss and just cried by myself. Just now the poison was over, so he ordered me to light the soothing incense and then went to sleep. Mr. Ming prescribed a prescription and went to the south of the city today. He said that he could not find any other patient except the prince. I have a clue and want to see other people in the hospital camp to see if I can work out a reliable method."

Eunuch Fu opened the door gently, and the two of them walked lightly to the inner room. The inner room was dark and dim, with a faint scent of agarwood lingering. Huo Qinghong was curled up on the couch, sleeping, although his eyes were closed. But he also slept very uneasily, and after not seeing him for two days, he lost weight again.

Bao Ruoyou didn't dare to wake him up, and came out with Eunuch Fu after a while. Eunuch Fu said distressedly: "When the poison hit, I wanted to commit suicide. When I got over it, I couldn't eat or sleep. What? Even the iron-clad body couldn't bear such a torment. For the time being, Mr. Ming's prescription was to keep warm and tonic, but the prince couldn't drink it. He drank half of it and vomited half of it. It was really worse than a serious illness. He still killed people with a blunt knife, and only torture was left. ."

Bo Ruoyou suddenly felt that the method used by Cheng Yunzhi was truly gentle. After returning to the main hospital, Bo Ruoyou asked about the situation of the poisoned patients in the city. When Eunuch Fu spoke, he sighed repeatedly, "That disease There are more and more people in the camp, and it’s almost like a plague. However, there are still some families who don’t want to go to the sick camp. The court has no choice but to ask for their own blessings.”

This disease will not heal on its own, and I don’t know how many people are restless. Bo Ruoyou sighed in his heart, and asked more carefully, what kind of medicine is used in the hospital camp, which people are seriously affected by the poison, and how often the poison occurs. She asked these questions because she wanted to give Cheng Yunzhi some details, so that he would not miss anything if he only looked at Huang Lin. As she was talking, she suddenly remembered the sound of an attendant saluting outside the courtyard. Bo Ruoyou stood up and looked outside, and saw Huo Ruoyou. Dangerous Building strides forward.

Eunuch Fu looked at her with a smile, "Your name still matters."

A look of confusion flashed across Bao Ruoyou's face, and he walked toward the door to greet him, "Master Hou——"

Huo Weilou was still wearing the same robe as last night, and his face was a little tired. Bo Ruoyou came closer and smelled a faint smell of blood. Her heart moved slightly, but she didn't ask. Eunuch Fu answered quickly. Her purpose.

When Huo Weilou heard that Cheng Yunzhi wanted to help treat the disease and that the method was eclectic, he became somewhat interested and said to her, "Go to the study and wait for me."

Bo Ruoyou responded, and Huo Weilou went to the bedroom to take a shower and change clothes.

Bao Ruoyou waited for Huo Weilou for a while before entering the study. His hair was wet, his face was less tired, and he had changed into a light silk shirt. He looked inexplicably gentle.

He walked to the couch and sat down, "Tell me more about your adoptive father's method."

Bo Ruoyou told Cheng Yunzhi what he thought again, and Huo Weilou thought for a moment, "There are indeed some risks. No one in the Tai Hospital has proposed such a method at the moment, but you can give it a try. The situation reported by Chengnan is not the same. Great, some of them were so poisonous that they caused a lot of trouble in the camp and even injured people in the patrol camp. In extraordinary times, some risks are acceptable. I have three boxes here, and I can give them all to you."

He stood up and walked towards the high cabinet, and Bo Ruoyou hurriedly followed, "You don't have to give them all to me, just one box is enough. My adoptive father said that it won't be as large as they used to use it for themselves, just a little each time." Just one or two."

Hearing this, Huo Weilou took out a brocade box. Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and raised his hand to take it. As he got closer, he saw that although Huo Weilou's hair was half held, it was still dripping. She He asked, "Master Hou, why don't you dry your hair?"

Huo Weilou never noticed this. He looked down and saw that his clothes on his shoulders were all wet. He walked to the door and asked the attendant to bring him a kerchief. The attendant moved quickly and brought it after a short time. Huo Weilou took it in his hand. He came in with a kerchief, looked at her with eyes, and whispered: "Help me——"

Bao Ruoyou couldn't laugh or cry, and felt a little soft-hearted, so he pointed to the low couch in the distance, "Then, Lord Marquis, go sit down."

Huo Weilou raised his lips, walked to the side of the couch, and sat down against the armrest. Bao Ruoyou took the handkerchief and stood beside him, wiping his hair little by little. Huo Weilou folded his arms and turned his head from time to time. Looking at her, his eyes were eager and somewhat satisfied. Bo Ruoyou asked calmly: "Did Mr. Hou stay out all night because of Mr. Song's case?"

Huo Weilou then seemed to remember something, "I was going to tell you, but I almost forgot."

After a slight pause, he said sternly: "Wei Quan made the move at dawn. He said that Song Yu was looking for him, but it was actually about the gold paste. He also said that the tea shop's gold paste was also led by Li Yuan."

Bo Ruoyou paused and said, "Master Song, do you want to buy it?"

Huo Weilou stared at him, "That's what he said, but I don't believe it. I also asked people in the Song Dynasty. They all said that Song Yu had no habit of taking gold ointment, and as people in the mansion, they had hardly heard of it. Exceeding the reputation of golden ointment."

"Since I don't use it, why would I buy it, and buy it alone? Before this, gold ointment was a precious thing to people in the capital, and wealthy families even used it as gifts. , if it is said that Mr. Song suddenly thought of trying it himself, that would be too much of a coincidence, and there is no way to explain the fact that the cup is poisonous."

Bao Ruoyou's hands were gentle. Although he was talking about the case, Huo Weilou still half-closed his eyes in relief, and even his voice became lower for a while, "He said he didn't know where the poison came from. At that time, the tea shop There were also tea guests inside, and he placed his suspicion on these tea guests, but after interrogating other servants last night, he found two tea guests who were in the tea shop at the time. After interrogation, they had nothing to do with Song Yu."

Bao Ruoyou frowned and carefully recalled what she saw last night. When she thought of the shopkeeper's bitter cry at the end, her heart sank. Huo Weilou continued: "Although I don't recognize it, it doesn't matter. He admitted that it was Li Yuan who took the lead in the private sale of gold ointment, but Li Yuan had another theory——"

Huo Weilou seemed to be no longer shy about telling her these confidential matters, and continued: "Li Yuan said that the Wei family's teahouse was another central place in Beijing. He also said that although the Shen family relied on him, He also relied heavily on Wei Quan, because Wei Quan had an elder brother who was the minister of household affairs, and Wei Quan had already invested a lot of money. Not only that, Wei Quan also wanted to plant Beauty Smiles outside the capital. In this way, he could By breaking away from the raw materials purchased by the Shen family in the southwest, they can also earn more money."

Bao Ruoyou stopped moving his hand, "So, has he really cultivated beautiful smiles in the capital?"

Seeing her stop, Huo Weilou reached behind him and grabbed her hand to let her continue. Bao Ruoyou shook his head and listened to him again: "He didn't admit it, he just admitted that there was a beauty in the store. The seeds of laughter were said to be out of curiosity when purchasing the golden ointment. They wanted the plant of Beauty's Smile, but Li Yuan didn't have any ready-made ones, so he gave him some fruits and seeds. Those things were put into his Accord. The reason why Song Yu There are some seeds on my feet, probably left in the Accord."

Bao Ruoyou was a little depressed, "So he only believed that gold ointment was sold in the tea shop? But this matter is already known to everyone."

"Yes, I'm afraid he also thought of this and simply admitted the matter honestly. Anyway, selling the gold ointment privately earlier is not a sin."

After Huo Weilou finished answering, when Bo Ruoyou didn't answer, he turned to look at her. He saw that Bo Ruoyou's face was wrinkled, as if she was thinking about something. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you think of?"

Seeing that his hair was half dry, he pulled Bo Ruoyou to sit beside him, and then went to hold her slightly cold hand. Bo Ruoyou said suspiciously: "That day, Mr. Song went to see my uncle first, and my uncle and him They broke up unhappy, and then he went to a tea shop to buy gold ointment. This is unreasonable, especially since he was later poisoned to death. The murderer always has a reason for killing."

Speaking of Bao Jingqian, Huo Weilou looked at her with concern and said, "If something happened to your uncle, did anyone from the Bo family come to see you?"

Bao Ruoyou nodded hesitantly, "I searched and found out that I was helping Mr. Marquis with the autopsy, so he wanted me to help plead for mercy and find out the reasons behind the case, but I have refused."

"Have they ever bullied you?" Huo Weilou asked again.

Bao Ruoyou couldn't help laughing, "How does this count as bullying?"

"Forcing you to come to me, or say some ugly words."

Bao Ruoyou thought for a moment and said honestly: "It doesn't matter. I have a clear attitude. They pride themselves on being of a noble family, and they won't really break up and make a fuss. The first bedroom has a more arrogant attitude, and the second bedroom has a more arrogant attitude. It’s okay to pay it off.”

Huo Weilou was thoughtful, but still frowned, but Bo Ruoyou was too lazy to say "Mr. Bo" and asked, "Is my uncle's testimony still unchanged?"

Huo Weilou's eyes darkened, "It has changed. He found something wrong with the account book details handed over from Qinshui County last year, but did not point it out. Later, he found that no one in the entire household department had noticed, so he He knew there was something fishy about it. Not only that, Song Yu had come forward and gave him a lot of silver, so that he turned a blind eye to this matter. He thought that Song Yu could get money by climbing to the peak, and When money and grain go in and out of Weicang, there are always people trying to make money, so they listened to Song Yu's words."

Bo Ruoyou's bright eyes opened slightly, and Huo Weilou continued: "If he had just discovered it and failed to point it out, it would only be considered malfeasance, but now that he has accepted the money, it is corruption. This crime is not a small one."

Bo Ruoyou hesitated to speak, "What kind of punishment will be given?"

"At least this official position cannot be kept."

Bao Ruoyou frowned, and Huo Weilou looked at her. Soon she looked slightly relaxed and said, "I understand. Since the money was really collected, I will be sentenced according to law." As she said this, Frowning, "But did Mr. Song really want him to stop being a member of the household department?"

Huo Weilou nodded, "That's what he said. If he had really listened to Song Yu's words that day, he might not have been traced so quickly now. After he went back that day, he went to find Lin Huai. Not only did he In this way, he had a drink with several other clerks from the Ministry of Revenue, hoping to get this person to cover up the things in the account books for him. He asked others to agree on the same statement, saying that Qinshui County's account books were no better than his own."

Bo Ruoyou frowned, thinking that he could win people's hearts over a round of wine. It seemed that his uncle was really a fool for being an official.

Seeing her expression of deep thought, Huo Weilou added: "Wei Quan probably still has some people we haven't recruited yet. And this morning I went to the Wei family to look for the young master of the Wei family. I heard that he had left the city, so he sent someone to follow him out of the city. , has not come back yet. When we find the person, we will know whether he took gold ointment. As for how Song Yu was poisoned, we can find out the details sooner or later."

Sooner or later you can find out the details...

When Bao Ruoyou heard this, a bright light suddenly flashed in his mind. Song Yu met Bao Jingqian and wanted to persuade him to leave the household department. Then he went to the tea shop and was poisoned in the tea shop, and then went to the opposite side. It seemed that he did it casually, but he left a jade pendant in the restaurant.

If she had not found the jade pendant, when the ten days were up, people from the restaurant would also find the Song Mansion. On that day, he also invited the Marquis of Changning and Li Yuan into the mansion. Li Yuan, the Marquis of Changning, and these Wei Quan are all dignitaries in the city who sell gold ointment privately.

Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but look at Huo Wei and said: "Master Hou, is there a possibility that Mr. Song's death was not poisoning, but suicide..."
