Chapter 292: Never underestimate the enemy
According to the previous agreement, Datou immediately shouted loudly after entering the door, asking Yang Kai to come and get the medicine.
He had told Yang Kai before that Ma Ju was sick and would ask Da Tou to go get some medicine. Yang Kai didn’t know medical skills and didn’t know if Ma Ju was really sick, but he believed that he was not mistaken and was secretly nervous.
Big Head yelled and immediately ran over from the stable to get the medicine.
Yang Kai is not as cunning and clever as Da Tou, and he is not good at acting and lying. This is why he dare not tell the truth to him. Since Yang Kai was also kept in the dark, the nervousness and anxiety he showed were extremely real.
Yang Kai took the medicine in his hand but didn't know how to administer it, so he followed Datou and Zhao Zhuojun's mother and son to the lobby. At this time, they were "working by candlelight." When he saw a few people arriving, he closed the official document, left his seat and stood up.
The big head pointed at Zhao Zhuojun and said, "Sir, this is Mr. Zhao from Sitiantai. His mother had an emergency and sought medical treatment everywhere. He went to several pharmacies and medical clinics, but all those quack doctors were helpless. People's lives are at stake. I know you
With his superb medical skills, he brought them here."
At this time, Zhao Zhuojun had put the old woman down and said a few words. Zhao Zhuojun first thanked her with great gratitude, then bowed and saluted, explained his illness, and cried out sadly for help.
Although the old woman was not fat, Zhao Zhuojun was still tired and sweaty after carrying her for so long, and she was so anxious that she had tears in her eyes and a cry in her voice.
As the instigator, seeing Zhao Zhuojun so anxious, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but then I thought about it again. This man was so ignorant and filial that he allowed his mother to abuse his wife but stood by and watched. He did not distinguish between right and wrong, nor did he uphold justice. He is really abominable. Let him
It's not too much to be in a hurry.
After hearing Zhao Zhuojun's request, he turned around and glanced at Da Tou. His unspoken meaning was very obvious, blaming Da Tou for adding extraneous matters and causing trouble for him.
Seeing the big head, Zhao Zhuojun hurriedly knelt down and said in a mournful voice, "It's not Mr. Fu's fault for this matter. It's because I have no choice but to beg Mr. Fu to bring me here. Mr. Li, you are a first-class official and a very human minister.
Everything you have done is a deed of great merit, great benevolence, and great kindness. I ask you to act righteously and save my mother."
"Don't worry, get up and talk." He stretched out his hand to help me.
Since he did not agree to receive treatment, Zhao Zhuojun did not get up. When he saw that he could not help him, the boss at the side pulled him back and said, "Don't do this. Get up when my master asks you to get up."
When the big head pulled Zhao Zhuojun, he turned to look at Yang Kai, "You first take the medicine and add water to boil it. I will go there later."
Yang Kai nodded and asked, "How much water should I add?"
"One part medicine and nine parts water." He said casually.
Yang Kai nodded in response and turned around to leave.
"By the way," he added, "I will feed you a little of the fine powder I prepared in the afternoon."
"Okay." Yang Kai stepped away.
long
Sheng was not sure whether it was unnecessary for him to be so meticulous about the details, but he did not dare to underestimate Zhao Zhuojun. Since the emperor sent this person to Dengzhou to investigate him secretly, it meant that in the emperor's opinion, this person's mind was quite sufficient.
Yes, and Zhao Zhuojun and Liu Zifu were able to find the dragon scales in the cracks of the stone, which also shows that they are very careful. Facing such an opponent, he did not dare to take it lightly.
After Yang Kai left, he squatted down to take Zhao's pulse. He was the one who administered the poison, so he naturally knew what the problem was. To say the least, even if he was not the one who administered the poison, he could find out the root cause and treat it.
When he was taking his pulse, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Zhao Zhuojun had been staring at him intently. He was not sure whether Zhao Zhuojun was just staring at him out of nervousness and concern, or whether he was watching his words with suspicion. After all, what happened was too coincidental, and he happened to be proficient in medical skills. Who could
Everyone knows that people who are proficient in medicine are also proficient in poison.
After taking the pulse, he rolled Zhao's mother's eyelids again, and then suddenly raised his head to look at Zhao Zhuojun. Because he raised his head very suddenly, Zhao Zhuojun's eyes did not have time to adjust. There was a trace of suspicion in his eyes, which showed that Zhao Zhuojun did have something in his heart.
Suspect.
"My mother's chronic illness broke out. She hurt her lungs and coughed up blood. As you can see, your mother has already begun to die." She stood up and sighed, "Mr. Zhang, please carry the old man back."
Hearing the words, Zhao Zhuojun's soul was filled with fear, and he knelt down on the ground again, pleading wailing.
He turned to look at Da Tou and said, "Order someone to set up a carriage and take Master Zhang back. I'll go see the sweaty pony."
After saying that, he started to walk, but when he saw that he was about to leave, Zhao Zhuojun hurriedly rushed over and hugged his leg, "Master Li, you are from a Taoist sect. Before I became an official, I was also a member of the Taoist sect. I beg you to see that I admire you the same."
On the face of the saintly face of the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty, he took action with compassion to save my mother."
"Oh, are you a Taoist priest too?" he asked casually.
Seeing that his tone was relaxed, Zhao Zhuojun nodded hastily, "Yes, the subordinate is Taoist priest Hong Yiguan of Taiqing Zong."
He nodded. He didn't expect that Zhao Zhuojun was still a Taoist priest. Yu Yi had not found out before. This also shows that this person has a careful mind and a very strict tone. However, Si Tiantai is only doing Taoist things like watching the stars and the moon. Zhao Zhuojun
Coming from a Taoist sect is also reasonable.
The big head was so smart. After Zhao Zhuojun finished speaking, he said without waiting for the answer, "Sir, the Taiqing Sect also helped us a lot during the competition that day."
After speaking, he did not answer immediately. He paused deliberately. Logically speaking, at this time, Zhao Zhuojun should take the initiative to talk about the emperor's appointment in exchange for his treatment. However, Zhao Zhuojun did not do so. Zhao Zhuojun did not say anything.
There are two possibilities. One is that loyalty is greater than filial piety in his heart.
, Secondly, I still suspect that there is something fishy hidden in this matter.
While he was frowning and thinking, Zhao Zhuojun had been pleading sadly. Looking at his expression, he was indeed sad and sad, so he said, "With all due respect, your mother's chronic illness is tuberculosis. She is already terminally ill. I am not 100% sure."
Hearing the loose tone of his voice, Zhao Zhuojun immediately answered in a sad voice, "Please show mercy, sir. Regardless of whether I can be saved or not, your kindness will be engraved in my heart and I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."
Hearing this, he nodded, raised his hand to seal a few of Zhao's mother's acupuncture points, and then turned to the boss and said, "Help Mr. Zhang carry the old man to the east wing, and change into clean clothes. I'll be back as soon as I go."
When the boss nodded in response, he stepped out, returned to his residence, changed out of his official uniform, and then headed to the east chamber with acupuncture supplies.
Doctors usually do not allow family members to watch from the sidelines when performing treatment, but they did not kick Zhao Zhuojun out, but administered the needles in front of him. At this time, Zhao's mother was already suffocating and her face was purple. After a few injections, she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
His face gradually became normal, but his breathing was still intermittent.
There is no smooth treatment to the end, but there are many hesitations in the middle. In fact, even if he was not the poison, after identifying the disease, he can still be fluent and treat quickly, but this time he cannot show his true level, otherwise Zhao Zhuojun
You may well wonder why he was so smooth in his treatment.
Whether it is sealing acupoints or injecting acupuncture, it is all carefully considered, because since Zhao Zhuojun has been a Taoist priest, he is likely to have some knowledge of acupoints and meridians. If he realizes that his treatment is to remove toxins rather than remove stasis, the consequences will be not only
Failure is so simple, Zhao Zhuojun will report to the emperor the whole process of his deliberate efforts to obtain clues to the dragon scale. How will the emperor look at him then?
In order to make sure nothing went wrong, more than thirty injections were administered to the old woman, which could be regarded as revenge for the poor woman who was often beaten because she did not give birth to a son.
When the last needle was inserted, the old woman burped and farted loudly. This was also intentional, so that Zhao Zhuojun could see the effect of his busy work. The burping and farting meant that the upper and lower parts were smooth.
After that, he started to write a prescription in front of Zhao Zhuojun. After writing the prescription, he handed it to Datou to get medicine. The prescription he wrote was for the treatment of tuberculosis. Datou naturally would not follow the prescription and handed it to Datou.
He took this prescription and left, but what he brought back was another set of medicine.
After frying and feeding, the old woman finally recovered from the danger, and at this time, the east had already brightened.
Others usually cook medicine with one part of medicine and three parts of water, but last night Yang Kai asked Yang Kai to cook one part of medicine with nine parts of water. Yang Kai didn't cook the medicine well all night. Seeing that the time to go to court was coming, he could only look disgraced.
He came over and called Datou to come over and help watch the fire.
Seeing Yang Kai's disheveled face, Zhao Zhuojun felt uneasy and said that the sweaty BMW was a thousand-year-old man.
It would be a pity to die if the condition of the sweaty horse got worse because of the treatment of his mother.
Yang Kai stayed up all night and was so tired that he didn't bother to talk to Zhao Zhuojun, so he turned around and left.
Datou originally wanted to leave with an excuse to create an opportunity for the two of them to talk alone. This time when Yang Kai called, he left in a reasonable manner. Naturally, he would not really go over to help look after the fire. Yang Kai didn't know why, but he knew it.
, knowing that the reason why Yang Kai was asked to add nine parts of water was because he didn't want Yang Kai to boil the medicine well, because the horse was not sick to begin with, so if he drank the medicine, he would not be poisoned to death.
After Datou left, Zhao Zhuojun began to thank him again and again. While responding casually, he quickly packed away the needles used for acupuncture. While packing away, he also deliberately put the silver needles close to the flames during the sterilization process, so that Zhao Zhuojun could see
The silver needles have not changed color yet. In fact, although silver needles can test for poison, they can only test for severe poisons. If the silver needles inserted into the skin have changed color, the person would have died long ago.
I have thought of everything I can think of, and have done everything I can to the best of my ability. I originally wanted to make a fuss about Zhao's mother's tuberculosis, implying that she had tuberculosis because she was narrow-minded and mean to others, but after thinking about it, I gave up.
Zhao Zhuojun was very careful about this idea. If he said something similar, he would probably suspect that he knew about his mother's abuse of her daughter-in-law.
After packing away the silver needles, Zhao Zhuojun began to dress Zhao's mother. At this time, he had two choices. One was to leave immediately, and the other was to stop for a while to see if Zhao Zhuojun had anything to say. After thinking quickly, he chose the former, so that Zhao Zhuojun could not notice it.
It seems that I am waiting for something.
Thinking of this, he shouted for someone to come. When the government servants heard the news and arrived, they ordered them to prepare a carriage to send Zhao Zhuojun and his son back.
After finishing the explanation, he raised his hand to Zhao Zhuojun and said, "Master Zhang, I still have something to do, you should go back early."
Zhao Zhuojun thanked him profusely and then reported his name. He only said that his name was Zhao Zhuojun, not Zhang, but Zhao.
By this time, he was already disheartened, and Zhao Zhuojun had not taken the initiative to speak up until now. This night's work was in vain.
He waved his hand to Zhao Zhuojun, walked out and went to the backyard. The frustration in his heart could not be described in words. He really racked his brains to get back the dragon scale. He regarded Zhao Zhuojun as the smartest person and took care of the details.
He also went to the extreme, fearing that Zhao Zhuojun would suspect that he had secretly checked on them beforehand, and even deliberately called the wrong Zhao Zhuojun's last name. Even so, Zhao Zhuojun still didn't say anything.
Just as he was about to pass through the corridor door and enter the backyard, Zhao Zhuojun's voice suddenly came from behind, "Sir, stay."
Hearing this, his heart suddenly trembled, he calmed down and turned around calmly.
