Chapter 248: Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger
If you are a good person, you should not participate in politics. It is best not to even talk about it. As long as you participate or talk for a long time, good people will become bad people.
Yun Chu thought that he was not a good person, and Di Renjie was not considered a good person, let alone being gentle.
Liu Rengui can barely be regarded as a good person, but this good person never shows mercy when he kills people.
Among all the officials, including those whom Yun Chu had met before, very few could be called good people.
In fact, this is not that they have become bad. Once they become officials, they must abide by the official's behavioral standards. What is the official's behavioral standards? It is management. No one likes to be managed, and the same is true for young children.
So, what are the methods they use to manage?
Prisons, police, courts, military...
A person who points a stick at your head and asks you to abide by laws and public order and good customs, even though he has a good heart and is kind-hearted, from the moment he picks up the stick, he has no chance of being a good person.
The old immortal fell ill in Liuzhou... No one in the Imperial Medical Office spoke loudly for two days.
It seems normal in the eyes of doctors that medicine can cure diseases, but it is not the case when treating the royal family, nor is it the case when treating nobles and wealthy families. As long as the patient dies, it is the doctor's responsibility.
With the old god here, doctors still have a place to cry. If the old god is gone, it will be a disaster for every doctor.
When Yunchu walked into the Imperial Medical Office, Lao He's condition looked very bad. His eyes were dull and his eyes were swollen. It was not from crying, but a symptom caused by not sleeping much during this period.
.
“Does Artemisia annua really work?”
Seeing Yunchu come in, Lao He immediately asked.
"If Artemisia annua is useless, other medicines will be even more useless."
"Those medical officers in Liuzhou are just a bunch of beasts. Is it difficult to find a death row prisoner to test the medicine? Even if the death row prisoner cannot tell the changes in his body after taking the medicine, can't they try the medicine themselves?
You beasts, our ancestors are over a hundred years old, how dare they, you ask, how dare they let their ancestors test medicine?
Now I can’t wait to fly to Liuzhou, and instead of treating the disease, I want to strangle all those bastard medical officials in Liuzhou to death, all of them——”
In the imperial doctor's office, which used to be bustling with people, now only the roar of Doctor He was left.
Yun Chu was surprised and asked quickly: "Ancestor, did you try the medicine yourself?"
Dr. He wiped away the tears on his face and said: "It happened ten days ago. The medical officer from Liuzhou sent a letter immediately, saying that my ancestor was infected with the plague, so he swallowed Artemisia annua himself. Now we don't know whether he is alive or dead."
Yun Chu glanced at the blue sky outside the gate. For some reason, the depression that had accumulated in his heart for the past few days suddenly dissipated.
Some good people can exude a smell, which can calm other people's hearts, calm their minds, invigorate them, and make them full of hope for the future.
The smell of semen from the old god's body was so strong that it cured all Yun Chu's physical discomforts even though he was five or six thousand miles away.
However, when he thought of the old immortal's long life, Yun Chu smiled and said to Doctor He: "Don't impose your thoughts on the old immortal. You should have enough confidence in the old immortal. Maybe this time, the old immortal
He has recovered and is leading the medical officers of Liuzhou to treat the sick people and make a grand narrative."
After hearing Yunchu's words, Doctor He felt as if he was grasping at a life-saving straw and asked hurriedly: "Artemisia annua has curative effects, doesn't it?"
Yun Chu patted his chest and said: "That's natural. Well, the old god will definitely come back safely. Now, let's talk about the drug supply problem in Pingzhun Pharmacy. When the old god comes back, he sees that we haven't taken any.
Maybe the old man will be very happy with the free rice."
Doctor He, who was still confused just now, took the reassurance given by Yun Chu and gradually calmed down. However, he discussed with Yun Chu about the supply of medicines to the pharmacy.
After discussing for a whole morning, Yun Chu also recorded a lot of questions. Just when the two were about to go to the cafeteria to eat, two medicine boys hurried past the door of the big medical center carrying a stretcher.
The medicine boy left in a hurry, but even so, there was still a trail of blood on the bluestone.
Yun Chu and Doctor He looked at each other and followed him in a hurry.
When he came to the treatment room nearby, Yun Chu saw a middle-aged man who had been stabbed at least a dozen times.
The two doctors were busy piling gold sore medicine on this guy's body, hoping that these sticky gold sore medicines could stop the bleeding.
Doctor He asked the medicine boy next to him whose head was steaming in the cold weather.
"Who is this person, and why was he sent to the Imperial Medical Office?"
The medicine boy said quickly: "It is Li Wentao, the third son of Danyang County Duke, who was attacked outside the imperial city. Danyang County Duke personally sent him."
When Yun Chu saw that the blood of this guy named Li Wentao was covered with the golden sore medicine, he said to Doctor He: "It's been a bad year for Danyang County Duke's family. The house caught fire three times in a row in the past few days, and a wealthy mansion was burned down."
It turned into a white field. I didn't expect that today, I saw his son chopped into a bloody gourd with a knife. I really don't know what to say."
Without waiting for Doctor He's reply, Yunchu saw Master Li coming panting.
Before Master Li could ask questions, Yun Chu said, "Don't panic, Mr. Li. Your son's bleeding has stopped, and his injuries are not on any vital parts. It's winter again, so as long as you keep warm, your life should be safe."
"
When Li Keshi saw Yun Chu, he was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands towards Yun Chu and hurriedly went to see his son who was already in a semi-conscious state.
He was also a veteran on the battlefield. After seeing the position where his son was injured, he came to the same conclusion as Yun Chu. The murderer had no intention of taking his son's life.
Master Li held his son's hand with a strange expression, sometimes fierce, sometimes frustrated, and occasionally dazed for a while.
After the bleeding stopped, the two doctors began to clean the wound with alcohol. Li Wentao, who was held down by four big-shouldered medicine boys, struggled like a fish. Then he watched the doctor start suturing with a fishhook-shaped needle and thread.
Yun Chu felt very painful from the wound.
Doctor He proudly pointed to the two doctors who were doing stitches and said to Yun Chu: "What a good idea, I saved another life."
Yun Chu nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing, and thanked Dr. He for his noble and honorable dedication of this medical skill for free.
Just as the two were complimenting each other, Master Li came over, first thanked Doctor He, and then said to Yun Chu: "Can Wannian County take over my case?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "It has been taken over by Dali Temple, and the person coming is Peng Shou, the young minister of Dali Temple. It can be said that I don't want to show my face to Mr. Li, so why would Mr. Li choose to stay far away?"
Li Keshi said: "Because Dali Temple has not captured the horseman Zhao Hanqin so far, nor has it been found out who caused the second fire in my house, nor has it found the person who threw the torch at my house."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Mr. Li, it's not that Yun Chu's body is on top and he's not doing anything, but that this case has been taken over by Dali Temple, which means there is inside information that a low-ranking official like Yun Chu is not suitable to know.
Even if Wannian County can solve the case, the gains will outweigh the losses, and there may be endless troubles, so don’t embarrass Yunchu."
Li Keshi clenched his fists and looked at Yun Chu and said: "There are indeed many people in this world who sit back and watch, but few heroes who pursue the truth."
Yunchu cupped his hands and said, "Ashamed, ashamed."
Doctor He saw that Li Wentao's wound had been cleaned with alcohol and was dying. He also found that the conversation between Yun Chu and Li Keshi was not very pleasant, so he invited the two of them to his mansion to drink cans of tea.
Not knowing whether his son was alive or dead, Master Li was naturally in no mood, so Yun Chu went directly to the kitchen with Doctor He.
Doctor He hasn't eaten well for two days since he heard that the old immortal fell ill.
The small kitchen of the Imperial Medical Office was still overcrowded. Fortunately, Doctor He also had a small quiet room here. After loading the food, the two of them went to the quiet room a hundred steps away from the small canteen.
Apparently, Lao He had something to say to him, so Yun Chu naturally followed him.
The two of them ate for a while first, and Doctor He took advantage of the soup to whisper: "The woman in the dark room is dead."
Yun Chu lowered his voice and said, "Why did you die? Didn't you say that woman really wanted to live?"
Doctor He sneered, pointed to the food on the plate and said: "Many people who starve to death want to live. The question is, can she survive without food?
Now, another woman has been put into the small dark room, and the body of the dead woman has not been taken out."
Yun Chu frowned and said, "Since you want to kill them, why do you still need to seek medical treatment from a medical officer?"
The veins on Doctor He's neck were pulsing. After a long while, he lowered his voice and said: "The reason I was ordered to see a doctor was not to take good care of those two women, but to help them resist hunger for a few more days.
You don’t know, brother, whatever medicine I prescribe, no matter how precious it is, I will boil it for those two women to drink, but they won’t feed them.
The disease can be cured with just one meal, but I insist on prescribing some powerful tonics to replenish their bodies...
I'm just looking forward to my ancestor coming back soon. If this continues, I really can't stand it anymore. If anything happens to my ancestor, I might not be able to survive."
Yun Chu looked at Lao He and said: "Who is the ancestor of us doctors? He is naturally the old immortal. Since the old immortal's body is not healthy, what on earth should you, a famous doctor, do?"
Lao He looked at Yunchu doubtfully, hoping that he would finish what he said.
Yunchu ate a lotus root slice and said slowly: "If it were me, I would take the medicine and set off south now, heading straight to Liuzhou to treat my ancestors.
For people like us, no one’s life is as important as the life of our ancestors, don’t you think so?
Even His Majesty, I can’t blame you for this, can I?”
Doctor He's eyes widened, and when he was about to give it a try, he sat down on the stool and said awkwardly: "There is a big epidemic in Liuzhou."
"If there was no epidemic in Liuzhou, I wouldn't give you this idea. Think about it, is it the epidemic that is more terrible, or the situation you are in now?"
Doctor He took a mouthful of rice and swallowed it, and said to Yun Chu angrily: "I didn't understand the saying that harsh government is more powerful than tigers before. Now, I finally understand that harsh government is more terrible than tigers."
, a hundred times more terrifying than the fucking epidemic.
I'll leave early tomorrow morning."
Yun Chu said: "I think you should run away after eating. As long as the other woman in the dark room dies, you will almost die too."
Note: According to historical records, Sun Simiao was born in 541, died in 682, and lived to be 141 years old. The author only accepts this record and does not accept any refutation. If you say that the old immortal is still walking around the world, I believe it.)
