Mr. Tang was really busy. He first went to the county government office and looked at the situation reported by his subordinates. "Five private houses collapsed. One of them was caused by a couple fighting on a snowy night. The house was not strong. The couple
When they were fighting, they kicked the house down a few times."
Mr. Tang has been a county magistrate for many years, what kind of situation has he never seen?
Asked: "Where are the people?"
The county captain said: "Everyone is fine. We are lucky this year. Although the snow was a bit heavy at the beginning, no one froze to death. Now everyone is temporarily housed in the charity hall, but those five households are all raising their families, let alone them."
Whether you want it or not, the people in the shantang are not very willing. One of the two families is relatively mixed, and they started bullying the children in the shantang just two days after moving in."
Mr. Tang snorted coldly and said directly: "Pull all the five families who can afford it to build houses. Naturally, you will have to build your own house. The county government will provide some wood and find some people to help. Let's get two people."
Build a house for them within a day."
"It's so cold that the ground is frozen, so it's not easy to build."
"As long as you have strength, you can bully others. It shows that you have a lot of strength, let alone building a house for yourself. Do you still waste your strength?" Magistrate Tang said: "There is a drought this year. You will report the difficulties this autumn."
Check the account again to see if there is anything new. If not, after checking it in two days, we will divide the food sent by His Majesty and others and let them pick it up."
"Then other households..."
"Do you think other families are in need of that small bag of grain?" Magistrate Tang asked: "Is it my family that is in need of food, or yours?"
The county captain understood. He smiled and said, "Didn't you all hear that these grains were given by His Majesty and Zhao Guogong and Pi Guogong to pray for the emperor's grandson? Everyone wants to be lucky."
"You will be blessed if you distribute food to those in need."
Mr. Tang entered the palace after finishing these tasks.
Today we need to check the medicine dispensing records of Tai Hospital, check the status of each palace gate, and inquire about the taste and ingredients of the medicine.
Mr. Tang took the record and asked Eunuch Wu, "In other words, when each palace boils medicine, it must be boiled either in the kitchen or in the pharmacy?"
"Yes, this is the rule."
"You didn't do it in private?"
Eunuch Wu then smiled and said: "Of course there is, but it's better not to be discovered. Once discovered, they will be expelled to the epidemic prevention center. And the medicine has a smell, so it is impossible to hide it from others."
"How does the kitchen know what medicine they are boiling?"
"Generally, the kitchen will ask to prevent someone from harming others."
Magistrate Tang: "What if someone lies?"
"It's up to the adults to judge."
Magistrate Tang nodded slightly, glanced at the list on the case and began to draw circles, "Since the injection needs to be soaked for three days, and the medicine needs to be changed once in the middle, we only need to check the prescriptions for the previous six days."
He said: "Check the medicines boiled in the kitchens of each palace in the past six days, pick up the buried medicine dregs, and let the doctors of the Taiyuan Hospital distinguish it. Only the records of the Taiyuan Hospital and the kitchens and medicine dregs of each palace can be matched.
."
Eunuch Wu paused and then said: "There is also a small kitchen over there in Tai Chi Hall..."
Magistrate Tang raised his head and said with a smile: "Check it too."
He rummaged through the case and pulled out the records from the Taiji Hall. He said "Ah" and said, "The medicine Man Bao got is for Mr. Gu?"
Magistrate Tang frowned, "Master Gu, is he sick?"
How could he still serve the emperor close to him when he was sick?
How could Eunuch Wu know? He looked innocent.
Magistrate Tang thought for a while, then turned to his subordinates and said, "Go to the back and call Zhou Man."
He currently occupies a room in the Chongwen Hall for work, which is in the same courtyard as Bai Shan and his school, while Man Bao usually edits books in the library just behind him.
So it's quite convenient to call someone.
Man Bao came happily, "Senior Brother Tang, did you call me?"
Mr. Tang looked up at her and asked, "What are you so happy about?"
"It's nothing. It's just that school starts today at the Imperial Medical Office, and I will leave the palace to go to class the day after tomorrow."
"You are so busy, can you still go out and play after class?"
The good news that Man Bao received in the morning was a little compromised, but she was still happy, "I'm happy to be out of the palace anyway."
"That's really congratulations to you. I was looking at the medicine dispensing records of Tai Hospital, and I found that you seem to often prescribe prescriptions for Mr. Gu. Is Mr. Gu sick?"
"Oh, this is the medicinal material for foot soaking," Man Bao said after just one glance: "Mr. Gu has some old injuries and rheumatism. Rainy days and snowy days like this are particularly uncomfortable, so I started to use them in the past two months.
I gave him a prescription to treat him, what’s wrong?”
Magistrate Tang shook his head and said, "It's nothing. You can go down."
Man Bao turned around and was about to go down when a chamberlain hurriedly came in and lowered his head to report: "Eunuch Wu, Mr. Tang, please tell me from the Shenxing Department that Xu Yu is in danger."
County Magistrate Tang frowned, stood up and asked, "Why can't it be possible? Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on her, not allow her to commit suicide, and not allow outsiders to visit, and be careful about everything at the entrance?"
"The father-in-laws from the Criminal Punishment Department have looked at it and said that the torture was too severe and the fever was so high that they might not be able to survive it."
County Magistrate Tang frowned, glanced at Man Bao who was standing at the door, and then turned to Eunuch Wu and said: "Xu Yu can't die now, we have to wait until we finish the investigation. If the problem does not lie in the palace, then it is
Outside the palace."
"And to deliver the poisonous needle to Xu Yu so quickly and in time, there must be a lot of people involved, so she has to live."
Eunuch Wu said "ouch" and said: "Mr. Tang, I also want her to live, but I am not a great god. I can live if I let her live."
"Carry the person out and send him back to Chongwen Hall and let Manbao treat him."
"This..." Eunuch Wu looked at Zhou Man hesitantly. He didn't have any objections, but Xu Yu was a suspect after all. Is Mr. Zhou still willing to treat him?
Man Bao had already nodded and said: "Okay, you just carry her here and send her back to her room."
"There is also a palace maid in her room. I asked her to move to another place temporarily," Eunuch Wu said with a smile to Zhou Man: "Young master Zhou is really a bodhisattva, so I will do all this for you."
Man Bao nodded, turned around and said, "Then bring the person here, I'll go to the Tai Hospital to get some medicine."
After she left, Eunuch Wu turned to his subordinates and nodded, then looked at Magistrate Tang, "Sir, are you trying to lure the snake out of its hole?"
Mr. Tang said: "There is no way, the information we have now is still less. People will never want to die again after dying once. No matter how strong Xu Yu's heart is, if he came back to life after dying, he might have figured it out.
?”
He said: "It doesn't matter if she can't figure it out. We just need to make the people behind her think that she has figured it out. As long as they make another move, we can always find something."
