Chapter 113 Di Renjie: Am I a weapon for showing off?
The moment he rode into the imperial city, Li Yan subconsciously glanced in the direction of the Dali Temple Prison.
Jaspersen's cold laughter seemed to echo in his ears, haunting him.
His prophecy of murder finally came true.
The key thing is that this incident has a worse impact than the murder of the Tibetan envoy in Liangzhou Post Office.
Before Li Yan arrived at the south courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, Guo Yuanzhen, who took the initiative to work overtime, came in a hurry and whispered: "A person has died."
Li Yan's face changed, while An Shengan lost his countenance and exclaimed: "Who died? How is my ninth brother?"
Guo Yuanzhen said: "Please rest assured An Wuwei, Mr. An Xiaolang is one of the batch with relatively mild poisoning. He just took a pill tonight, and the imperial doctor is treating him. There should be no danger of life."
As he spoke, he looked ashamed and said to Li Yan: "Li Jiyi, it's me who didn't think highly of An Xiaolangjun..."
"Don't blame yourself first, clarify the cause and effect."
Li Yan's face was serious: "Zhongjing took the elixir? What's going on? Talk while walking!"
According to Guo Yuanzhen's story, Li Yan understood that the poisoning incident was precisely because of taking pills.
More than fifty students took the elixir after bathing and changing clothes tonight.
Not long after, he developed severe pain in his abdomen. Fortunately, An Zhongjing and several other martial arts practitioners struggled to call for help and he was discovered.
The imperial doctor arrived as quickly as possible and began to induce vomiting.
Before everyone reached the school grounds, a disgusting and unpleasant smell wafted in the air.
In this era, the best way to treat poisoning is to induce vomiting.
The first is salt water, the second is egg white, and the third is washed chicken feathers to stimulate the throat.
Vomiting out most of the toxic substances will reduce the symptoms a lot.
Then drink it down with buttermilk and other drinks to neutralize and dilute it, buying time for further treatment.
As for the poison that has been absorbed, you can only use traditional Chinese medicine or your own strength to resist it, but the effect is slow.
For example, Qiu Ying was attacked by Xiao Ling with a poisoned knife in Liangzhou. The toxin entered his body. Even now, he is taking medicine, but it still cannot stop his body from deteriorating.
Faced with the poisoning of dozens of people, it was obviously impossible for the imperial doctor to prepare the medicine slowly and could only use drastic measures. The scene in the hospital was naturally both ugly and smelly.
The scholars in the surrounding schools were also alerted and gathered around, standing at a distance and pointing.
Li Yan's face darkened and he said, "Order these people to go back to their houses and not to go out tonight. Anyone who disobeys will be treated as a suspected criminal!"
"yes!"
Guo Yuanzhen immediately came forward with his inner guards. Li Yan held his breath and was about to go in when the imperial doctor who came out for fresh air stopped him: "Li Jiyi, it's filthy inside. You'd better not come in now..."
Li Yan saw that he was an acquaintance. It was the doctor Chen who asked him to pretend to be fainted after slashing the Tathagata statue with his sword.
At this time, the Shang Pharmacy Bureau of the Tang Dynasty had two ministers, two ministers, and four ministers, ranging from the sixth grade to the highest, responsible for diagnosis and treatment.
There are five chief doctors, who are below the eighth rank, and ten assistant doctors, who are below the ninth rank, and they can also cure diseases.
Chen Yuyi was a sixth-grade imperial doctor with superb medical skills. Li Yan happened to ask: "Who was the student who unfortunately passed away? Why were his symptoms more severe than others?"
Dr. Chen took a breath and said, "I just asked. The man's name is Zhang Yang, whose courtesy name is Shouyi. He is from Runzhou, Jiangnan Province. He is the one who sells the elixirs. He has taken at least five elixirs. It's true."
Can’t be saved…”
Li Yan's face was solemn: "How many people in the hospital have not taken the pill?"
Imperial Physician Chen nodded: "There are more than forty people, most of whom are already outside. There is also a scholar from Kangda Kang and a scholar from Su Weiwei. They have just helped us a lot."
Li Yan saw that Guo Yuanzhen had dispersed most of the crowd, and there were dozens of people standing not far away. It seemed that there were no people taking medicine in the school building. He heard Kangda's name again and breathed a sigh of relief: "Excuse me, Chen."
Physician, ask Kangda and Su to come over."
Kunda was brought over quickly. His face was pale and his body smelled sour of vomit. He took a few breaths of fresh air and said eagerly: "Yuanfang, will Brother An be okay?"
Li Yan also asked about the situation just now and comforted him: "Zhongjing has practiced the power of Bodhidharma in Shaolin after all, and the imperial doctor arrived in time, so there should be no serious problem."
Kunda breathed a sigh of relief and said regretfully: "I should have advised him not to eat it at that time. He also bought my share of the pills. If he took a few more pills, then I would really..."
Li Yan frowned: "Please tell me carefully!"
Kangda recounted how Zhang Shizi sold the elixir to them.
Li Yan murmured: "Two pills for each person, Zhongjing bought four pills alone, and Zhang Yang, who sold the pills, emphasized not to take more, but now this person took five pills and died?"
Just as he was talking, another person came over.
Li Yan looked over, and the man hurriedly bowed his hands and introduced himself: "I am Su Weiwei, courtesy name Shouzhen. I am from Luancheng, Zhaozhou. I have met Li Jiyi."
Li Yan looked at Su Shi's ancestor. He was not ugly in appearance, but he was not very handsome either. He smelled bad and was a little embarrassed.
Being able to help the imperial doctor save people inside made Li Yan have a much better impression of Su Weiwei, so he said: "Su Shizi, tell me what you know."
Su Weiwei shook his head: "I don't know what happened specifically. Zhang Shouyi came to me this morning and recommended Yundan. I was not interested, so I rejected him sternly. Tonight, I undressed and was about to fall asleep. I was surprised to see someone calling for help. It happened to be Mr. Kang Xiaolang.
Even before going to bed, I worked with him to save people..."
Kangda's eyes widened: "Hey, brother Su, didn't you take the elixir? But Zhang Shizi said, you also took the cloud elixir!"
"That's because he's trying to gain my reputation and talking nonsense!"
Su Weiwei rolled his sleeves disdainfully, his brows filled with pride: "I am rarely known for my literary skills, so why do I need to use such means? Please trust me, Li Jiyi!"
Li Yan believed this in his heart.
In terms of literary attainments, this person is quite powerful. He is a father and son, three poets, eight masters of writing throughout the ages, and the achievements of Su Shi's family are not unrelated to his ancestor's genes and family inheritance.
Su Weiwei might not be able to become an official later, and was ridiculed by Di Renjie, but in the imperial examination, people were very careful about it, and there was really no need to take pills in order to get good results.
Just when Li Yang was about to ask more carefully, there was the sound of rapid horse hoofbeats from behind, and a large number of forbidden troops arrived, with grim expressions on their faces.
Last time, Wu Minzhi was hidden inside the Tathagata Buddha statue. After checking it again and again, I still don’t know who sent it in.
As a result, more than a dozen of the Imperial Guard officials who were in charge of the imperial city were directly demoted.
Before the aftermath is over, the Gongyuan Academy was poisoned again...
Now I don’t know how many noble disciples are going to get out.
After the Imperial Guards arrived, the two Fei Pao officials soon arrived in front of the Gongyuan Academy.
The man who was a little faster turned over and dismounted. He had a long beard reaching his chest, a pale face, elegant and elegant. If he were wearing a scribe's robe, he would look like a doctor teaching.
But this person was the inheritor of Su Dingfang's art of war, Pei Xingjian, one of the four famous generals during the Emperor Gaozong period.
The Tang Dynasty pays attention to the promotion of generals and ministers, and there is no clear distinction between civil and military affairs. At this time, Pei Xingjian was still a civil servant. He served as the minister of the Ministry of Personnel for many years. The various methods of judging the performance of officials created by him have been established as a system by the imperial court. Countless middle and low-level officials in the Tang Dynasty
Official career is all affected by it.
If you enter the inner guard again, you can grasp the intelligence trends and have the power to act expediently on the front line. Once you have a great victory over Tibet, it is natural for you to come back and pay homage to the prime minister.
When the time comes, the Pei family will have one family and two prime ministers, and it will definitely become a good story.
But at this time, Pei Xingjian looked serious and walked in a hurry. As soon as they met, he asked: "Yuanfang, how is the situation?"
As soon as Pei Xingjian finished speaking, a majestic voice came from behind him: "Li Jiyi came very quickly. You said a few days ago that the Liangzhou Jia thief had falsely stated that he wanted to kill people. Is this the fault of these imperial examination scholars?
"
Cui Shouye was the one who spoke immediately. He had a prim and serious face, extremely hard facial lines, and a long beard trimmed neatly and dignifiedly. When he came in front of him, he couldn't wait to ask questions.
Li Yanxian replied to Pei Xingjian: "The poisoning incident was caused by taking elixirs. Zhang Yang, a scholar from Runzhou who sold elixirs, has unfortunately died. The other scholars are being rescued by imperial doctors."
Pei Xingjian frowned slightly, and Cui Shouye said coldly: "Elixir? Jia Tie has an alchemy room in Liangzhou Mansion, and the elixir he refined is missing. It seems that he is the one who poisoned the scholars. Hmm, it's early."
It’s time to eradicate the Jia family!”
Li Yan then looked at him: "If we go back to Cui Pavilion, Jia Sibo's suspicion cannot be ruled out, but it is too early to make a conclusion at this time."
Cui Shouye narrowed his eyes slightly: "Li Jiyi is so majestic, but he taught me a lesson."
Li Yan said: "I don't dare, it's just that this matter is of great importance. My inner guard wants to share the saint's worries. When the saint asks, the subordinate is unwilling to tell the saint his speculations, but hopes to find evidence."
"Then why are you stopping here? Go in and look for evidence!"
Cui Shouye became even more angry, snorted coldly, and rushed into the yard.
Then he was blown away by a pungent stench. He wanted to maintain his composure, but couldn't help but feel nauseous.
Li Yan sneered.
The smell in the hospital became more and more terrifying, and even the imperial doctor would come out to take a breath from time to time. Kangda and Su smelled fine inside before, but after they came out, they couldn't bear it when they went back in, so they ran to the side to rest.
"you……"
Cui Shouye wanted to reprimand him, but in the end he felt nauseated and his aggressive mouth finally closed.
Pei Xingjian then said: "The Liangzhou Jia thief has repeatedly failed in the examination and has accumulated resentment towards the imperial examination. Once the case is revealed, it will definitely attract the attention of the government and the public, which can effectively reduce the pressure of being tortured. Is this a motive?"
?”
Li Yan nodded and said: "This is indeed the greatest possibility."
Pei Xingjian's face was heavy: "You have evil intentions. What a pity for these hard-working scholars who have suffered unreasonable disasters!"
Li Yan's eyes were sharp and he said with hatred: "The weak draw their swords and swing at the weaker. If this case was all planned by Jia Sibo, then this person is really crazy. He was also one of these scholars from other states!"
"
Just as he was talking, someone else arrived.
Yi Yi got off the horse, smelled the stench that towered into the sky, frowned slightly, and quickly entered the first scene.
Everyone looked sideways, waiting for him to come out for air, but they still didn't see the chubby figure, and they couldn't help but change their colors.
Even Cui Shouye asked: "Who is this person?"
No one answered because after asking each other, they didn't recognize each other.
Until a young and hateful voice came into my ears:
