Chapter 620 If a person commits a crime again, the grass will be wiped out
Qian Yin was always very efficient in her work. On the evening of the second day, she caught the mice that Yun Shang wanted. Four of them were caught in total. They were all put in cages and covered with black cloth and brought to the Prince's Mansion.
When Qian Yin arrived at the house, Luo Qingyan had already returned to the house and was reading a book in the house. Seeing Qian Yin and Dr. Zheng walking in together, his eyes fell on the cage in their hands, and he frowned slightly.
Looking at Yunshang.
Yun Shang did not explain to Luo Qingyan, but ordered Qianyin to take a few mice to a yard in the house that few people went to. Then she washed her hands and asked the nanny to carry Bao'er down, and then asked Qin Yi to give it to her.
She put on her robe and fetched her hat.
Luo Qingyan frowned and raised his eyes to look at Yun Shang: "That mouse, what kind of mouse is it?"
Yun Shang knew that she couldn't hide it from Luo Qingyan, so she smiled and said: "Isn't there a plague in Jincheng recently? I asked Qian Yin to find out that the plague came from rats, so I asked them to catch a few
A mouse. I am also a doctor. If I find the cause of the epidemic, I will definitely be able to find a way to deal with it."
"You're not allowed to go." Luo Qingyan frowned, "Aren't you kidding? Since you know that the disease came from the rat, you brought the rat into the house. The disease is coming fiercely, even if it is isolated
, people are infected every day, and many people have died. What should you do if you are infected?"
Yun Shang curled her lips and said aggrievedly: "Didn't I see that someone was deliberately slandering Queen Hua through this epidemic, so I thought of ways to quell the matter? Don't worry, Qianyin, Doctor Zheng and I entered the courtyard.
, I will order people to seal off the courtyard and put all the food at the door. Even if any of the three of us are infected, the disease will not spread."
Luo Qingyan's expression turned even uglier: "You know I'm not worried about this. What I'm worried about is clearly your safety."
Yun Shang lowered her head and did not respond, but Luo Qingyan clearly saw a bit of stubbornness in her eyes. Luo Qingyan sighed softly, and his voice became a little softer: "This antidote cannot be made in a short time.
, could it be that if you don't find the antidote, you won't be able to come out for a day?" After a pause, he continued: "What if Bao'er wants to kiss his mother?"
Yun Shang bit her lip and said vaguely: "If there is a wet nurse, you will be there."
Luo Qingyan still disagreed: "Zheng Qiming studied under the miracle doctor Xue Yan. His medical skills are the best. Just let him go. No matter what, I will not let you walk out of this door today."
After Luo Qingyan finished speaking, he called the secret guard in and said: "Let Zheng Qiming take a good look at the plague. If you need anything, just ask."
The secret guard responded and retreated.
Yun Shang put down her hat in frustration. Knowing Luo Qingyan's uncompromising character, she curled her lips and ignored Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan didn't care at all, so she lowered her head and read the book again.
Doctor Zheng did not lose face as a disciple, and discovered something the next day. The secret guard reported Zheng Qiming's findings one by one to Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan: "The thing on the mouse is not a disease, but a disease."
It is poison, a kind of poison called henbane. After poisoning, there will be dilated pupils, accelerated heartbeat, hot skin, dryness, dry mouth, loss of direction, hallucinations, weakened vision, aggressive behavior, convulsions, and coma.
A series of poisoning reactions including death. From poisoning to death, it takes a few hours or a few days."
"Doctor Zheng said that this poison is not contagious. I'm afraid someone put the poison in some places with a relatively large impact, such as well water."
Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan were both surprised and looked at each other. If it was an epidemic, it could be said that the timing of its onset was too coincidental, but if it was poison, someone must have been able to do it.
"I see. No wonder I ordered people to isolate all those who were infected with the epidemic, but people still contracted the epidemic every day." Luo Qingyan put down the book in his hand, stood up, turned to Yun Shang and said: "
I will go to the palace and report this matter to Your Majesty, you don’t need to worry, just rest early.”
Yun Shang nodded slightly. If it was poison, then it would be very easy to clear out Queen Hua's so-called disaster. Moreover, the so-called epidemic has been spreading rapidly in the past two days. There must be someone.
The poison is still being poured, so as long as you are sure where the poison is being thrown, and just wait and see, it is a good idea.
Yun Shang thought in her mind and felt a little relieved.
Yun Shang rested early, and when she got up early the next morning, she heard Qin Yi mention that Luo Qingyan hadn't returned home all night. Yun Shang knew that Luo Qingyan was afraid that she had negotiated with Xia Huanyu, most likely last night
Then something was done.
"I'll give Qianyin a message later and ask her to pay close attention to the news about the epidemic in the city these two days. Where is the epidemic spreading? How many people are infected with the epidemic every day? Come into the house and report to me every day.
." Yun Shang ordered softly.
Qinyi responded quickly and ordered someone to send a message to Qianyin.
In the evening, Qianyin came to report that the epidemic was approaching from the southeast, northwest and northwest of the city. Now people have been found to be infected in Liuxiangfang in the east, Guixifang in the south, Jingweifang in the west, and Jiadingfang in the north.
There is an epidemic. About thirty people get sick every day.
Yun Shang ordered someone to pass the news of Qian Yin's discovery to Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan still didn't come back at night. Early the next morning, he hurried into the house. His eye sockets were sunken and his eyes were black and blue. He only smiled at Yun Shang and said softly: "The poisoner has been caught."
After that, he took off his shoes and lay down on the bed, still holding Yun Shang's arm.
Yun Shang had no choice but to lie back on the bed and sleep with Luo Qingyan for most of the day before getting up.
Qianyin sent a message back, "Today, the Queen personally took all the doctors from the imperial hospital to see the patients in the places where the disease was infected. The doctors checked the pulses of the patients one by one, and the Queen brought many palace maids with her.
The guards are working on the side together, helping to boil the medicine. His Majesty has transferred all the guards to help, and the city is in a state of explosion. Everyone is talking about what to do if the queen and the others are infected with the epidemic."
Yun Shang was silent for a moment, and then said quickly: "We also have many medicinal material shops in our hands. We ordered people to send all the medicinal materials needed to make the antidote to the henbane in the pharmacy, as well as the medicinal materials needed to make the detoxifying pills, and we will not accept them.
I donated these medicinal materials with a copper plate, saying that I was moved by the empress's noble righteousness. I also ordered all the medicine shops to leave one person to treat the disease today, and the rest to go to treat the sick people."
The secret guard responded, and Yun Shang turned to look at Luo Qing and said: "But let someone find a way to let the people in the city know that this time everyone is not infected with the disease but poison, and at the same time let everyone know,
Someone is deliberately slandering Empress Hua. However, it would be beneficial if this matter is not revealed. In this way, people will think that Empress Hua is brave and kind, regardless of her own safety to save others."
Luo Qingyan pondered for a moment before shaking his head: "After all, a lot of people died this time. If it was an epidemic, even if Empress Hua came forward now, people would inevitably make a fuss about it. After all, it is a fact that people died."
Yun Shang also nodded when he heard this: "Yes, then I will order the doctors in the pharmacy to spread the news that someone deliberately poisoned Queen Hua this time."
"Huh?" Luo Qingyan turned her head and looked at Yun Shang: "When it comes to spreading news, isn't it true that storytellers in teahouses and little ladies in the market come faster?"
Yun Shang smiled and said, "The prince knows very well. It's just that this time, these people seem a little less trustworthy when they say it. Doctors in the pharmacy save lives and heal the wounded in the hearts of the people, and they have daily contact with patients.
The most, and they are the most expert in medicine and treating diseases, so what they say can be trusted a lot. Everyone comes to see the doctor every day, including officials from the DPRK or their families, wealthy businessmen, ordinary people, and people in teahouses.
Storyteller, market woman. Who is not sick sometimes?"
When Luo Qingyan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Yun Shang steadily, with a bit of a smile in his eyes, "I often feel that I have married an amazing wife. And others say that once pregnant,
After being stupid for three years, my Shang'er, even when he was the stupidest, was much smarter than others."
Hearing this, Yun Shang couldn't help but raise her hand and patted Luo Qingyan's chest, with a smile in her eyes.
After the news of the poisoning spread, Luo Qingyan sent Li Qianmo to visit everywhere openly to find out the news. He went to the homes infected with the epidemic one by one to get well water to test for poison, and the poison was indeed detected. Li Qianmo
The investigation did not stop people from watching, so word spread from one person to another, and the news of poisoning spread throughout Jincheng.
In addition, without knowing whether it was an epidemic or a virus, Empress Hua took the imperial doctor and palace officials to risk her own life. Many people knew about this matter, and it was widely spread for a time. Everyone said that Empress Hua was brave.
She was knowledgeable and loved the people as her own son. The previous rumors that Empress Hua was a disaster star gradually faded away.
The person who was caught poisoning was also interrogated. The interrogation took place not at any yamen, but directly at the execution ground in the city. A huge crowd of people came to the scene and surrounded the execution ground.
The result of the interrogation was somewhat unexpected. Li Qianmo asked the painter to draw a portrait based on the facial features asked from the poisoner's mouth. After the poisoner identified and confirmed it, he showed it to everyone. Even if some people recognized it,
The person in the painting: "Isn't that Luya? She is from the south of the city. She later entered the palace and seems to be working as a maid next to a concubine in the palace. She often hears her parents praising her..."
"Concubine Shu, I am by Concubine Shu's side."
When Yun Shang heard the news reported by Qian Yin, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up: "It turns out that this is what Empress Hua said about cutting off the grass and eradicating the roots..." (To be continued)
