Chapter 140 This case originated from this, and will also end from this!(1/2)
The room became quiet.
Liu Shenwei's body trembled slightly.
This old man followed Sun Simiao to practice medicine for half his life, and he also saw a lot of ugliness.
But this is the first time I have heard of such a heartbreaking thing.
There are many ways to ask for medicine, but it doesn’t have to be this way.
The root cause is that the aristocrats who are at the top do not regard the lives of the people at the bottom as their fate.
Ming Chongyan's eyes were red, and he suddenly stood up and said: "Master left a box of relics, I'm going to get it!"
He turned into the backyard, and after a while he took out a locked box. He stretched out his hand and chopped it, and the lock broke with his inner strength.
Before opening it, he said sadly: "Master told me two things before he died of illness."
"The first thing is to pass down the recipe of Wuyun Dan and let the poor man refine it and present it to the saint, so as to gain the opportunity to be promoted."
"The second thing is that the master taught me a poisonous power and asked the poor Taoist to practice it diligently. Only when this power is fully developed can the relic be opened."
"Pindao finally understands what Master means!"
Li Yan also understood.
Previously, after Tubo's little Ming king, Kumarajiva, was cured of Wu Min's madness, he wanted to leave Chang'an, but was stopped halfway by Ming Chongyan.
This Taoist obviously used the power of Dan Yuan, but later he actually used the poison technique. Kumara was seriously injured and almost arrested.
Later, in great embarrassment, he hid in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda of Ci'en Temple.
It turns out that everything should be based on this old case.
When Ming Chongyan opened the box, he saw a lot of yellowed old paper inside.
Everything written on it is the testimony written by Lin Jianye, followed by the handwriting of illiterate villagers.
There are also some portraits of a group of people wearing bright clothes and angry horses.
The two leaders were Li Sichong and Dou Decheng.
Li Yan picked up the testimony and looked at it carefully, and found that his guess was roughly correct.
From the perspective of the Qingyang villagers, I first smelled a strange smell that day, coming from uphill.
Every villager who smelled the smell soon felt nauseated and confused.
Then the noble people from Beijing were so kind-hearted that they gathered every household together and distributed talisman water.
The villagers drank it.
Some may fall to the ground in pain, or their hands and feet may be flailing, or they may cry madly.
Those who drank the water first soon stopped moving, and the nobles were also frightened, ignored them, and quickly ran away.
But a few hours later, they suddenly broke into the village, raised their butcher knives, and chopped down everyone they saw.
In the end, he pretended to rob property and set fire to the house. When the officials from Dantu County arrived, they reprimanded him and took down the county magistrate directly.
These testimonies basically restored the entire murder case and added many details that Li Yan could not guess.
But it is a pity that if it were handed over to the Ministry of Justice, it would not be ignored at all.
Even if it is submitted to Dali Temple, it is difficult to get a response because of the Rashomon-like case file.
Li Yan was reading the testimony, while Ming Chongyan and Liu Shenwei were looking at the letter at the bottom of the box.
Ming Chongyan read it once and cried out: "Master!!"
After Liu Shenwei took it and looked at it, he burst into tears: "One thought can separate yin and yang!"
Li Yan looked at it last and couldn't help but sigh.
"Disciple, after seeing these testimonies, you should understand the truth of the Qingyang case."
"My teacher was driven by greed. I wanted to cling to the rich and powerful, but instead my fellow villagers were massacred, and everyone was harmed. Tens of thousands of deaths are not enough to atone for this crime!"
"The evil man is powerful. I am a humble person. It is difficult to redress my grievances. I can only practice poisonous skills. I will return to Chang'an one day and kill my enemy to avenge this great hatred!"
"It's just that I can't hold it anymore. I really can't hold it anymore..."
"Disciple, I taught you Wuyundan and Juedu Jin because of selfish motives."
"If you can use the Five Cloud Pills to win the favor of the saint in the future, then the saints of these two families will decline again, so I will kill them for my master."
"I can rest in peace even though I am under the Nine Springs!"
"Remember, two pills of Five Cloud Pills per month are far less harmful than Cloud Pills. Do not take more."
"If you see that the situation is not right, don't panic. People at that time didn't know the harm of Xuan Yao, so it's hard to doubt you."
"I regret not listening to Master Sun. I regret it!"
"Lin Jianye's last work"
…
There are mottled marks on the paper, which should be blood stains.
After gently wiping the suicide note, Ming Chongyan burst into tears.
When he was very young, his master taught him martial arts. Although he had already agreed with his father that he wanted to get an official position, he always tried his best when he was given instruction and never failed to deal with it.
His talent also surprised his master. It is said that he secretly practiced Danyuan Jin before he was thirty years old, and he was better than his master.
The joy I felt at that time came from my heart.
And every time Master talks about the past glory of his family, he is full of passion.
He also had a lot of longing for the revitalization of Menlin and his high position.
As a result, the master died young for this reason.
In the last two years of his life, he often vomited blood, suffered from inner pain, and felt worse than death.
He still had to grit his teeth and study the elixir recipe in the hope that his apprentice would be able to advance to a high position in the future and avenge this blood for him.
At this moment, Ming Chong took the suicide note into his arms, knelt down and bowed three times, his eyes firm.
Li Yan looked at Liu Shenwei and said, "Doctor Liu, can you please ask Master Sun for help in mitigating the harm of Wuyundan?"
Before doing this, Liu Shenwei would never agree to this request.
Sun Simiao has a weak temperament, he is strong without desire, and will not get involved in power struggles at all.
But thinking of Sun Simiao's high opinion of his junior brother, Liu Shenwei felt that after the master knew the truth, he would be willing to make an exception. He nodded and said: "I am willing to do my best to ask the master to come out!"
Li Yan was delighted: "Okay!"
His main purpose is to save the prince.
He doesn't expect to live a long life, after all, the prince's body has suffered too much, and Medicine King is not a cultivator.
What Li Yan hoped was that Sun Simiao's intervention would prevent the kind-hearted prince from dying suddenly in his early twenties like in history.
It's better to live longer.
"I'm going to ask Master for instructions!"
Liu Shenwei stood up and suddenly bowed deeply to Li Yan: "Li Jiyi, please forgive me for my junior brother's great hatred!"
Li Yan did not shy away. He accepted the gift and said one more word: "Okay!"
A word of promise is worth more than a thousand words!
Liu Shenwei left, and Li Yan and Ming Chongyan were left in the room.
Ming Chongyan looked at the portrait and knew Dou Decheng, but had never seen Li Sichong. He asked directly: "Li Jiyi, the two murderers of the Jiangnan murder case, this person is Dou Decheng, who is this person?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Yan said: "Li Sichong."
Ming Chongyan said sadly: "Prime Minister Li Jingxuan's eldest son! No wonder! No wonder!"
Li Yandao: "Based on the testimonies and portraits left by your master alone, if the murderers were not Li Sichong and Dou Decheng, they could have been jailed! But now, even if there is enough evidence, they can escape the crime..."
The prime minister can share power with the emperor, and the power in Li Jingxuan's hands is enough to override the laws of the court.
Even if the evidence is conclusive, with the protection of this prime minister, Li Sichong can avoid death, or even get away with his cunning words.
As for Dou Decheng, after these years of management, this drug lord has already grasped the lifeline of Yundan.
Those who are greedy for the taste of elixirs, or have relatives in the family who need this medicine for pain relief, will inevitably use their connections to protect this person.
However, in Li Zhi's mind, the poisoning case of the imperial examination scholar had greatly damaged the court's face, and he would not tolerate poisonous pills affecting the court officials.
Attacking him with poisonous elixirs can kill him, but Li Sichong will be safe that way.
Ming Chongyan nodded: "I understand that this matter is too difficult, otherwise the master would not dare to redress his grievances and rely on Jiang Huzi's assassination methods..."
Li Yan said: "Although I abide by the law, I also admire Lin County Lieutenant's decisiveness. When an ordinary man was angry, blood spattered five steps. In terms of power, he was beyond his reach, so he practiced martial arts hard. When the poison was strong, he turned into the house and slapped him with one palm.
, happy grudges!"
"Although we cannot speak out for the people of Qingyang Village who died unjustly, the success rate is much higher. But it is a pity. Dou Decheng and Li Sichong are also prepared."
