Chapter six hundred and forty-ninth: do not avoid relatives
Zhou Heng expanded the paper and looked up and down. The paper was very old and was a pulse case diagnosis. The handwriting was written by Liu Renjie. The diagnosis above was similar to what Zhou Heng said just now.
At first, the injury was stable, and the mouth was slightly hot, and the mouth was dry and drowsy. After two or three days, I started to speak in high fever and convulsions. After that, I couldn’t feed them even if I could eat them, and I vomited after I poured the medicine in.
The wound was incised and discharged several times, the legs were swollen but the surface had healed, and the wound on the clavicle was ulcerated and pus was flowed. Obviously, this was the diagnosis and treatment after returning to Beijing.
Seeing the end, Zhou Heng calculated carefully. Liu Renjie had been diagnosed for a total of eight days, but in the end he was helpless. Seeing the eldest prince's death, Zhou Heng closed the paper and returned it to Pang Xiao.
"If there is no penicillin, Liu Renjie has tried his best to last for eight days. As for who can quietly make the eldest prince injured, you still need to investigate.
What I can give is that although the eldest prince was seriously injured, he was not killed. Moreover, the initial diagnosis and treatment were very good. According to the analysis of the callus, he had normal cultivation for at least half a month to twenty days, and he suffered a second injury and died of a high fever, which was eight or nine days.
This person is very knowledgeable about medical principles and knows that the wounds of suppuration can be fatal. He should always be with the eldest prince, because the time of the secondary trauma must be controlled well. If he dies on the way back, it will probably be another scene. If he dies after returning to the capital and dies without treatment, King Ning will also doubt the cause of death."
Pang Xiao narrowed his eyes, this is the key to the problem.
"The prince was anxious to hear the news. He rushed back to the capital. In his grief, he really thought about who was doing this, and he really doubted the emperor. After all, when he returned from Liaobei, he had no worries about his life. At worst, he was not doing anything bad.
If it was really done when it was approaching the capital, then the person behind it was too vicious, and this was to make King Ning rebellion and usurp the throne, what benefits could this person get?"
Zhou Heng paused, and the matter seemed to be full of fog, but if he pushed it backwards at this moment, it seemed that it would not be that difficult to analyze from the perspective of the profiteer.
On the surface, Ruoling's rebellion was the most direct beneficiary of Zhu Yunmo. After all, I became the emperor and he became the crown prince with just a legitimate reputation. But at that time he was just a child, and his grandfather, Duke Wei's family also hated him for his extra love.
But Zhu Xiaochang was different. Duke Wei promoted Zhu Xiaochang as the crown prince at the beginning. This support was not a joke. Duke Wei's influence in the army was nothing to say. He raised his arms and shouted that there were few unresponsive ones, which was also something that the old emperor was afraid of at that time.
As for the Wen family, let alone Wen Changjin and his younger brother, this is the most influential person in the Wen family. The Ministry of Revenue manages money and grain, and Fujian is directly manipulated. If it is said that Zhu Xiaochang may have a greater chance of winning. Zhu Yunmo was just an abandoned son at that time, and he had a stubborn disease to survive in the world.
Zhou Heng raised his head. Pang Xiao could naturally think of what he could think of. The two looked at each other. Pang Xiao looked at each other with a clear expression. He couldn't stay here for a long time now.
"Brother..."
As soon as the claim was called out, the person who released the news ran over and rushed directly to Pang Xiao without shy away from Zhou Heng, saying quickly:
"The guards came over and asked us if the repair was completed. Several people were waiting outside the corridor without leaving."
Pang Xiao nodded, "You go and delay and take out a little bit of the arrogance of the factory guards."
The man quickly knelt on one knee and said yes, then rushed out, and Pang Xiao waved his hand.
"Hurry back to its original state."
Zhou Heng looked down at the femur on the chair. This thing is still outside. What should I do if I restore it to its original state?
"How should I deal with this femur of Xiao Bo? Wouldn't I be put back?"
Pang Xiao paused for a moment, followed Zhou Heng's movements to clamp the two sections of the femur left and right, jumped onto the top of the coffin, put the bone back, and then moved his hands quickly, changing the pants that had just been damaged and tidying up his clothes.
As soon as he landed, the remaining people quickly restored the coffin and nailed the nails according to their original positions. As for the piece that fell at the top of the tomb chamber, naturally someone had already repaired it.
Pang Xiao looked around and saw that there was no omission, so he turned around and walked out of the tomb room, and Zhou Heng followed closely.
There is no politeness to say at this time. You can't guarantee that everyone has the same mind. If you are far away from Pang Xiao, it will be too late to be plotted against by someone to cry.
When I came in, I was careful, but when I went out, I was much faster. The people who broke the back behind kept extinguishing the oil lamp, as if the darkness behind was constantly chasing everyone.
After walking out of the corridor, several guards stood in front of the door, as if they were still arguing with the person who had just come up.
As soon as Pang Xiao came out, their argument stopped. Pang Xiao did not stop and walked directly to the man, raised his hand and slapped his two big mouths. With every slap, the man was knocked to the ground.
However, after being beaten, he lost his arrogance just now. He quickly knelt on one knee and bowed with his fists. Before he could speak, Pang Xiao kicked the person over.
The man and the guards behind him all fell to their knees and waited for Pang Xiao's orders with his hands hanging down.
"So majestic, the factory and the bathroom do business. When do you need to explain to you? It's really a joke. If you want to explain, go to my godfather Fang Jizhong, or go directly to the palace to find the emperor. Humph, let's withdraw!"
Pang Xiao's voice was originally sharp and now he was deliberately speaking, and his voice seemed even younger. If he didn't tell it carefully, he would sound more like Fang Hua's voice.
Following Pang Xiao's order, the people quickly moved away from the blocking path. Pang Xiao led everyone out of the cemetery, and a burst of smoke and dust disappeared on the pipe.
The guard who was beaten just now was obviously the leader here. He raised his hand to cover his cheeks without any discomfort. The guard beside him surrounded him.
"The wound on your face is fine, are we going to report this?"
The man raised his eyebrows, took his eyes back from the official road, landed directly on the boy who was talking, and raised his hand to dodge his forehead.
"If you want to die, I will fulfill your wish now. The person who comes will tie him up and beat him up with a hundred military sticks in the name of stealing property."
The man was frightened and didn't expect the leader to react like this. When he saw that his leader had no intention of joking at all, he was full of murderous aura and quickly hugged his thighs when his legs became weak.
"Boss, I'm confused for a moment. You tell me what you need to do. The young man will never dare to do it again!"
The man was relieved and looked around and the guards guarding the tomb were frightened. After all, he had never seen this formation before.
"All up, don't blame me for not reminding me. Who has been here today and did anything, and none of you have seen it or not. I say a word, and all those standing here today will die. Not only are we dead, but your family will not be spared. Let's all be separated. I'll draw two people to clean up."
These people were so scared that they quickly scattered the birds and beasts. There was no need to give any instructions to clean up the place. Soon the entire cemetery returned to its original silence, and the head sighed.
"Hey, silly boys really don't know how to die. If you know too much about this, you will be seeking death. You can come in wearing the clothes of a factory guard, and you will disguise on your face and go straight to the eldest prince's mausoleum. Who is asking this? It's self-evident!"
After saying that, he raised his head and took a sip of wine, staring blankly into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't care about the finger marks on his cheek at all.
......
Zhou Heng rode his horse in fear and returned to the courtyard with the team.
After walking again, he realized that this was a house on the west side of the capital. It was considered a wealthy area in the capital, second only to the neighborhood where officials lived.
Zhou Heng didn't say much, and went into the yard to dismount. He followed Pang Xiao into a room. The clothes Zhou Heng had worn before were placed on the table. Zhou Heng glanced at Pang Xiao and quickly went to the inner room to change. When he came out, Pang Xiao had already removed the brocade robe.
Pang Xiao stood up and bowed to Zhou Heng.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou, today. I will send you back later. As for what happens next, we will start investigating."
Zhou Heng nodded. He really couldn't help with the follow-up matters. After all, this was a matter of ten years ago. At that time, everyone was in contact with him and no one knew who followed him back. If it were so easy, it wouldn't have delayed this matter for so long.
"Is Xiao Bo going back to Datong directly or staying in the capital?"
"We will send back news from the prince. We will not go back for the time being, but we have a special identity and will not show up."
Zhou Heng thought about it and said:
"I believe Xiao Bo has already known about Beishan a few days ago."
Pang Xiao nodded, "I didn't know at first, but later announced that these implicated officials were related to the Jinwu Cult. I understand that this series of actions is naturally the reason. Almost all the villages and towns around the capital have been carefully investigated, and they have not been able to do this for many years."
Zhou Heng nodded, "It is because of this that the factory guards are in strict investigation now. Xiao Bo still needs to be careful. As for the investigation, he still needs to search for the people with the eldest prince.
The weather was cold back then, and it was not easy to find something that could cause abscess and ulceration. This person could also calculate the time, which was definitely the cause of the people around him.”
Pang Xiao nodded, hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhou Heng and then said:
"After the death of the eldest prince, His Majesty was furious and killed many people. Several doctors who treated the eldest prince in Liaobei, as well as the eldest prince's personal guards, were not spared. When the prince and I came back, everyone had already been executed.
However, General Cang said that Wen once sent someone to wait for the eldest prince's carriage north of Chengde. When the prince came back to ask, Wen said that he had not sent him and was not clear about the matter. It was quite chaotic at that time. Wen was crying and wanted to hang himself for a while. Zhu Xiaochang also had a high fever and did not go further. The prince did not investigate it in depth."
Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes and calculated the distance carefully.
"If I really wait near Chengde, then it will take a day or two to return to Beijing from there, and the time is completely right. I am just thinking about how they got the pus that was infected with such an infected pus?"
Pang Xiao didn't understand these even more. He saw Zhou Heng not in a hurry to move. After all, only Zhou Heng can help now. The mystery that has been bothered for many years seems to be revealed.
Zhou Heng closed his eyes slightly and overturned his previous speculation that infection with Staphylococcus aureus here can cause such a high fever.
However, this bacteria has too high temperature requirements. Not to mention the cold weather, it is easy to lose its activity even if it is below ten degrees. If it is directly extinguished by fifteen degrees below zero, it should be eliminated.
If the temperature is low and can be preserved for such a long time, then the most common occurrence is salmonella. Even intestinal infections can easily cause osteomyelitis. If the wound is directly infected, the consequences will be terrible.
The cholera caused by Salmonella and many bacteria with sprouts can be said to be a fatal plague in this era. When thinking of the plague, Zhou Heng paused and frowned and looked at Pang Xiao.
Pang Xiao lost his previous calmness, and Zhou Heng's action suddenly made him feel sank and he quickly got closer.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"Xiao Bo, before the eldest prince had an accident ten years ago, there was a plague in Daliang. Do you know this? The very big plague I mentioned should have a record of such disaster relief in the court? You know that I have a lack of memory, and I don't remember these."
Pang Xiao thought carefully, "When the eldest prince had an accident, the Chinese New Year was approaching. That year, Sichuan suffered from floods, earthquakes and wildfires, and I had not paid attention to other small disaster reliefs. It seems that there were also a small number of locust plagues in Shanxi.
Wait... Fujian, I remember that there seemed to be an epidemic in Fujian after mid-autumn. The disaster relief officials sent by the court and the former Fujian governor unfortunately died of illness. The second disaster relief was only allocated silver and medicine, but no officials were sent.
According to the news that dozens of villages along the way were empty, with corpses everywhere, and the smell of corruption was spread far away, and the livestock could not be spared. It was at this time that the third son of the Wen family was appointed to take over as the governor."
In the end, Pang Xiao's speech slowed down. Although he was old, his mind was extremely sufficient. He looked at Zhou Heng in an instant, his eyes shook, and then he became a little more determined.
"I think you must have thought of something, right? Is there something inside here?"
"What position did he have before? How did he be ordered in the face of danger?"
Pang Xiao sighed, "I don't know the specific reason. I just heard that the imperial envoy had contracted a plague as soon as he arrived in Fujian. He died suddenly in three days. The former governor died on the second day.
His Majesty received an urgent document of 800 miles. He was a little anxious at the time and asked that no one in the court was willing to go. Wen Changjin stood up at that time, saying that he was not evading relatives. He recommended his third brother to take over as the governor of Fujian.
At that time, the third brother of the Wen family seemed to be the right-sponsor in Fujian. His Majesty issued a direct order, and the epidemic gradually stabilized in the following two months. His Majesty rewarded many wealth, which is a good story. But what does this have to do with the death of the eldest prince?"
Zhou Heng took a deep breath and took off the small bag on his waist. Pang Xiao knew that the bag was filled with various surgical instruments, and he had just used it during bone examinations.
Zhou Heng carefully put on his gloves, poured out the items in the bag, opened a small box, and inside it was the remaining tip of the knife.
"In winter, even in Fujian, the temperature is not very high, so the general epidemic can be controlled when it enters winter. You said that the epidemic in Fujian will be controlled after two months and will not be completely eliminated. Otherwise, there would not be such news coming back, which should be a report of a great victory.
It can be preserved for a long time and is not afraid of low temperatures. It seems that we have found something to apply on the tip of the knife. However, in order to verify, I will go back and try to cultivate it. If it is really something I doubt, I think Wen Jia is the initiator."
Pang Xiao's face became a little cold, he looked at Zhou Heng for a moment, and repeated Zhou Heng's words.
"Wen Family? If it is really the Wen Family, is their mind at that position?"
Chapter completed!
