Chapter Eleven: The Court

Zhou Heng glanced at him and stood behind the shopkeeper, leaving two steps away.

Where to stand?

They are not plaintiffs or defendants, and they are not suitable for standing anywhere, so it is better not to be conspicuous.

At this moment, a young man wearing a crimson purple official robe walked out of the back hall, and Captain He bowed and clasped his fists.

"Mr. Huixian Zun, the person has been brought here!"

The magistrate waved his sleeves and said, "Go to the court to ask about the case!"

Zhou Heng looked around for a while. The servants in the hall did not shout to go to the hall, but just held the killing stick and stared at the front one by one. He lowered his eyes to reduce his presence.

With a bang, the magistrate slapped the awkward and asked in his throat:

"Who is the plaintiff?"

Manager Huang led his men and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Huang Zongming, a Caomin, is the shopkeeper of Xinglin Medical Center."

"Oh, get up and reply, who are you suing?"

Although the shopkeeper was afraid at this time, he knew that this was the last chance to whitewash himself, so he quickly thanked him and stood up.

"Six days ago, the deceased He Dazhuang came to the clinic for consultation. He had dull pain in the upper right abdomen for more than half a year, his eyes were red and yellow, his mouth was bitter, his face was black and thin, and his abdomen was as big as a bump. This was a liver disease. Dr. Ma from the clinic diagnosed and treated him. Then he prescribed medicine for him to take it on time. If it works half a month later, if it doesn't work, there will be no medicine for the medicine."

Zhou Hengyi made a judgment in his heart that the deceased had a long history of medical treatment, which was definitely not a simple hidden pain. It should be a liver tumor, to put it bluntly, it was the advanced stage of liver cancer. However, such medical conditions cannot be cured by Chinese medicine alone.

"I have kept the medicine in Xinglin Hospital, and the prescription is marked on it."

As he said that, Dr. Ma pulled out a notebook from his arms and folded it into a page, and handed it to the servant beside him. The servant quickly handed the notebook to the magistrate in the hall.

The shopkeeper continued: "At the end of the Si lunar month today, He Dazhuang's family carried his body directly to the clinic, saying that we poisoned He Dazhuang and wanted to pay our lives. The Xinglin clinic was founded by Caomin's grandfather. It has been opened for nearly 65 years and has never been a doctor. Therefore, Caomin can only sue He Dazhuang's relatives for false accusation. Please ask the county magistrate to make decisions for Caomin, find out the cause of death, and make the innocence of Caomin!"

Zhou Heng wanted to applaud the shopkeeper. He said this with great skill. He was neither humble nor arrogant. He argued with reason. Now it depends on how the magistrate judged it.

Before the magistrate could speak, the woman knelt down several steps and kowtowed.

"Mr. The county master, the civilian woman is wronged!"

The magistrate's face darkened and he slapped the agglomeration, "Don't make a noise! ​​Who is kneeling down in the hall?"

He Dazhuang's wife was startled and forgot to cry. She quickly crawled on the ground and said with trembling all over:

"Minister Wang is He Dazhuang's first wife. They are my two sons. These are the husband's cousins. Our family lives in Xiegouya Village outside Qingping County."

The magistrate glanced at him and found that there were enough people here, and they were all dressed in simple clothes, with patches on coarse cloth clothes. On the other hand, Huang Zongming and others looked much more decently dressed.

The magistrate said, "All up when you have it, Wang tell me how He Dazhuang died!"

Wang got up, and the two boys stood back.

Wang wiped the tears from his face and said, "The husband of a civilian woman is healthy on weekdays. I don't know if she has a bad stomach or something. She has some abdominal distension for two consecutive days. She came to the county town for six days to see a doctor. She caught the medicine at Xinglin Hospital. After going back to take it, she vomited several times. Last night, the person suddenly twitched and died suddenly."

Speaking of this, it seemed that he felt wronged, and Wang fell to his knees again.

"The civilian woman has brought back the leftover medicine residue. Please ask Lord County Zun to take a look. My husband died suddenly after taking this medicine. Please ask Lord County Zun to make the decision!"

After saying that, he kowtowed one after another. The man carrying the stick had disappeared at this time. He held a pot of pot in his hand and raised it high. The officer walked up to take the can and took it to the magistrate.

The magistrate looked inside the jar, frowned slightly, and looked at a master beside him. The man quickly walked up to him and whispered a few words.

Zhou Heng raised his eyes and looked at it. How to identify the cooked medicinal materials requires a very professional doctor to make them. It is impossible for ordinary people to identify them. I don’t know who the magistrate can ask to identify them.

If the fair doctor is fine, if he finds Huang Zongming's mortal enemy, then

At this moment, the magistrate beside the magistrate clasped his fists, bowed and stepped back and walked towards the door.

The magistrate asked about some details. Zhou Heng did not listen carefully, but just stared at the dead on the ground. It would be great if he could lift the mat and observe it more carefully.

After about a cup of tea, the master walked in with two old men, as if he was anxious. The two old men were already breathing and sweating all over their foreheads.

The magistrate looked up and saw the visitor pointing at the pottery jar, "Come, take the pottery jar to the two doctors to see, identify what the medicinal materials are inside, and then copy them down!"

Zhou Heng quickly looked at Huang Zongming, and saw that he had no particularly surprised expression, so he felt a little relieved. It seemed that he knew these two doctors.

The two of them poured the medicine residue in the clay pot on the table and began to select one by one.

In such a hot and hot weather, the medicine residue was already filled with sour and rotten air, but the two of them were not affected at all. They kept identifying and tasting, sorting the medicine residues into categories, then recording them, and finally handing over the recorded results.

"Mr. County Zunda, the medicine residue has been checked out. There are fried Bupleurum, Flea, Poria, Red Peony, White Peony, Rubi, Angelica, Tulip, Flea, Scutellaria baicalensis, Scutellaria baicalensis, Curcuma zedoaria, whole Trichosanthes kirilowii, raw turtle shell, knotweed, and Cornus officinalis. There are a total of fifteen medicinal herbs, which should be the Chaihu Flea Decoction for treating liver disease."

The magistrate suddenly realized that Doctor Ma and Huang Zongming also breathed a sigh of relief.

After a brief pause, the old doctor continued:

"However, the Cornus officinalis in this medicine jar is not real Cornus officinalis, but just a kind of Nantianzhu that looks similar to it. A small amount of Nantianzhu can treat cough diseases, but this substance is poisonous. If you have liver disease, you will feel bitter and vomit after eating it, and you will feel convulsive and coma."

When Wang heard this, he plopped and fell to his knees again.

"This is the symptom before my husband died suddenly!"

The magistrate was also stunned. Huang Zongming looked surprised. Nantianzhu was also a medicinal herb. It was indeed found in the store, but it was still very different from Cornus officinalis. How could he catch the wrong medicine? He immediately fell to his knees.

"Mr. County Master, can you let the people see it?"

The magistrate waved his hand, Huang Zongming got up and walked to the front of the case, grabbed a red fruit that had been crushed and carefully identified it. He was instantly cold all over. This turned out to be Nantianzhu.

Huang Zongming's legs became weak and he fell to the ground.

"Mr. County Zun, this is indeed Nantianzhu. However, the medicinal materials that we went out of Xinglin Medical Center need to be checked again by the doctor. Although this cornus officinalis and Nantianzhu are similar after boiling, it is very easy to distinguish when it is born. You will definitely not have such mistakes. Please be aware of this."

Doctor Ma and Desheng also fell to the ground in an instant, saying that they were wronged.

The magistrate looked at one of the old doctors, "How do you think about Dr. Qu?"

The old doctor closed his beard and said, "If this prescription was decocted by a clinic, there is no need to distinguish it. It must be the reason for the clinic. However, the patient took this medicine back and decocted by himself, and there were variables here. According to common sense, the difference between these two medicinal herbs can be distinguished by children who understand medical principles, but if they do it on purpose, they cannot distinguish it."

Zhou Heng raised his eyes and looked at the old doctor carefully. He said this so well that neither side could offend him.

The medicine is easy to distinguish, it just depends on whether you want it or not. The deceased took it back and cooked it himself. Who knows whether you added it yourself?

If you eat too much salt, your words will be different.

However, the magistrate was already frowning at this time, and Zhou Heng slowly moved forward two steps. Seeing that no one was watching, he raised his foot and kicked Huang Zongming's foot.

Huang Zongming was still kneeling on the ground at this time. He sensed the movement behind him and quickly looked back. Zhou Heng raised his hand and pointed to the deceased on the wooden board, and said two words in his mouth, "Automatic examination".

Huang Zongming instantly realized that no matter how much he argued, he would not get any results. It would be better to let the coroner perform an autopsy.

Huang Zongming quickly kowtowed again and said loudly:
Chapter completed!
