Chapter 378: Is it poisoning?
After saying that, Zhou Heng pulled out with his injured right hand with his left hand. Liu Yu looked at Zhou Heng's back and felt mixed feelings.
Zhou Yuan ordered this title to be called for several months, but he had never been to the Imperial Hospital.
But thinking about it makes me feel relieved. Every morning I can see Zhou Heng in Huichun Hall teaching everyone at night. Except for three days off on New Year's Eve, no imperial doctor can do this.
Thinking of this, I sorted out my clothes and went directly to Zhang Zixuan's ward.
Before entering the door, I saw Zhang Fuling and Zhou Heng talking to the two men, so I saluted and hurried into the ward.
Zhou Heng glanced at Zhou Yian opposite him, "Have you investigated the scene clearly? Where is the coachman?"
Zhang Fuling grabbed Zhou Heng's arm and glanced at the door of the ward. Zhou Heng suddenly realized, and raised his hand to signal the few people to go to the office.
Zhou Heng and Zhang Fuling sat down, Zhou Yian and another person stood opposite each other, hurriedly clasped their fists and said:
"Sir, uncle, I just inspected the scene. The carriage was seriously damaged and I couldn't tell whether it was tampered with. There were many witnesses from the front of the Zhang Mansion to the Su Mansion, but most of them saw a crazy horse pulling the carriage and hurting several people in the middle.
As for the coachman, he has not been found yet. People from the Zhang family said that the coachman is a newcomer. Miss Zhang's maid just helped Miss Zhang into the car. She followed the carriage and turned over an intersection. In an instant, the carriage rushed forward. After that, she did not see whether the coachman fell down. She chased after her for a while and did not see anything else."
Zhang Fuling nodded slightly and glanced at Zhou Heng. Although his expression was as calm as possible on his face, he still felt a little self-blame.
"I have asked my wife that this coachman is a newcomer to the mansion. She usually looks simple, so she keeps carrying Zixuan in and out, but nothing happened in a few months, so I'm a little careless."
Zhou Heng glanced at Zhang Fuling.
"Mr. Zhang, don't blame yourself for now. It's not that the coachman has not found it yet. Everything is inconclusive. Only by finding someone can you know what's going on. It's too early to make a conclusion now."
The man beside Zhou Yian bowed and said, "Ms. Zhang didn't remember much, probably because she was scared. She only remembered that the car had been running for a while. She seemed to hear the coachman screaming, and then the carriage began to run wildly, shaking around the left and right, and then she became unconscious."
Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes, "Ah!"
The man nodded, "Yes, Miss Zhang has a deep memory. She wanted to pick up the curtain and go out to see it, but the carriage ran and was thrown directly inside. She could only use hands and feet to support the carriage."
Zhou Heng looked at Zhang Fuling.
"Mr. Zhang, have you carefully checked these streets? A living person will never be so lost. I think someone must have seen something, at least from when the coachman is gone, he can also determine the missing location, and then send additional personnel to search there."
Zhang Fuling thought about it and nodded.
"Okay, then I'll arrange the manpower now, as for that horse..."
Zhou Yian looked at Zhou Heng with a embarrassed look.
"Uncle Master, please help me. I didn't see any problem with that horse. I also used a silver needle to check it out and I didn't find any poisoning."
Zhou Heng nodded to Zhang Fuling without hesitation.
"I'm going to see with Yi An now. Silver needles can only test the toxicity of arsenic, and other poisons cannot be tested at all. The horse is frightened and only needs a certain amount of stimulation, and it doesn't necessarily require poison."
After hearing what Zhou Heng said, Zhang Fuling instantly became much more settled and raised his hand to pat Zhou Heng on the shoulder.
"Then please."
Zhou Heng stood up and just stretched out his hand, quickly retracted his hand. Zhou Yian's eyes were sharp. He saw the gauze on Zhou Heng's hand, and instantly widened his eyes, grabbed Zhou Heng's hand, and asked anxiously:
"Uncle Master, what's wrong with your hand?"
Zhang Fuling also saw the gauze on Zhou Heng's finger. It had not been before. It seemed that he had just been injured. Could it be...
"But I was injured when I was treating the little girl?"
Zhou Heng waved his hand indifferently behind his right hand.
"A small problem is not a problem. Lord Zhang should hurry up and find out the whereabouts of the coachman. If it falls into the hands of someone who is interested, I am afraid it will only cause trouble."
Zhang Fuling nodded, feeling very grateful.
"Okay, then let's go first."
As he said that he took the follower away, Zhou Heng kicked Zhou Yian.
"You talk too much, hurry up and call Brother Xue, let's go, will the horse go to Shuntian Mansion?"
Zhou Yian grinned. He knew that Zhou Heng was only so good to those who were close to him. Those who were not close would never raise their legs to greet him. In an instant, a warm feeling in his heart.
"Uncle Master, don't worry, the horse's body has been transported to Shuntian Mansion. I don't know much about the anatomy of the horse, so it's still a bit troublesome to dissect it. In addition, the poisoning mentioned by Uncle Master, I really don't have any good methods for this."
Zhou Heng waved his hand.
"Okay, stop talking, hurry up and take a look, and there is also the carriage. I need to take a closer look at this. I think the coachman will not disappear suddenly. Either he is the initiator or he is one of the victims. These people are going to create the illusion that the coachman is the murderer."
Zhou Yian widened his eyes and thought about Zhou Heng's words.
Although Zhou Heng didn't say much, every word and sentence talked about the key issues.
He looked up at Zhou Heng's hand, "Uncle Master, is your hand really fine?"
Zhou Heng glanced at him.
"I can't die. I still have my left hand. I knew it would be burned at that time, so I deliberately used my right hand to get a needle."
Zhou Yian knew that the incident must be urgent and cannot be replaced.
"Okay, I'm talking nonsense, hurry up and leave!"
As they said that, the two of them rushed downstairs. Boss Xue had already prepared the carriage and got on the carriage and drove towards Shuntian Mansion.
After turning two streets, he came to Shuntian Mansion. Zhou Heng jumped out of the carriage and quickly entered with Zhou Yi'an. The yamen runners at the door saluted Zhou Yi'an.
Zhou Yian waved his hand and helped Zhou Heng enter quickly. Boss Xue followed behind with two medicine boxes in his arms.
The yamen runners seemed to want to ask, but when they saw Zhou Yian's gloomy expression, they didn't dare to speak at all.
They soon arrived at a row of houses on the east side, and there was only the first person standing in front of the door. Zhou Yian went straight over, and a few boys quickly saluted Zhou Yian.
"Zhou Sizhima's body has been sent over. It cannot be placed on the platform, so it can only be placed on the ground, and dare not change the state of the horse easily."
Zhou Yian nodded, "Okay, hurry up and prepare an apron for us, and come here to see my uncle."
The few people were shocked and quickly prepared to show their salute, and Zhou Heng waved his hand.
"I don't have so much time to do these false gifts, Brother Xue will give me the isolation suit."
Boss Xue gave these people a blank look, opened a box, took out an isolation suit, shook it off, and helped Zhou Heng put it on. Zhou Yian had no reaction, so he quickly put it on himself, and then stepped into the room.
This is a double-door room, which seems to be for the convenience of transportation. There is no threshold for the door here. The horse's body was placed on the ground, with its head tilted to one side, and its whole body lying on its side.
Zhou Heng turned around and looked at Boss Xue, "Did you look like this at that time?"
Boss Xue walked closer, squatted down and raised his fist, gestured slightly at the horse's neck, and shook his head slightly.
"The position was a little moved. The horse was hit by me and it seemed to be stuck and hit the ground directly, so its head was upward, not hanging."
The few people behind Zhou Yian widened their eyes. What did they just hear? This man broke the horse's neck with his bare hands, which made the horse stop. How strong does this man have to knock over such a strong horse?
Zhou Heng squatted down and raised his horse's head upwards. When he saw this, he felt that it was much delayed.
"Yi'an, have you checked your body surface? Are there any injuries?"
Zhou Yian nodded, "I have carefully searched every inch of this horse under the fur, and there is not even lice. The epidermis is clean. There is no damage except for the wounds on the neck and head, and there is also a scratch on the left front hooves."
Zhou Heng nodded, squatted on the horse's head, reached out to lift his eyelids, the horse's eyes were bright red and bloody, and there seemed to be blood in his mouth. Zhou Heng was stunned and looked up at Boss Xue.
