Hu Xiaotian's method is to pretend to be ill. Although his acting skills are good, he is still not very good at convincing fakes to look real. He can easily be seen through by experienced doctors. Fortunately, there are some laxatives among his belongings. If he hadn't been forced to
As a last resort, he would not take the initiative to take laxatives. After taking the laxatives, it did not take long for the effects to take effect, and Hu Xiaotian began to suffer from vomiting and diarrhea.
Initially, the two guards thought he was cheating, but when they saw that his condition did not look like a fake, they hurried to ask Li Honghan for instructions. When Li Honghan heard that Hu Xiaotian suddenly fell ill, his first reaction was that this guy was pretending to be sick. However, the guards said that Hu Xiaotian was indeed ill.
Now I am still squatting in the toilet, with only half my life left.
Li Honghan quickly sent someone to invite the doctor.
The guards invited a doctor from nearby in the middle of the night. The doctor saw that Hu Xiaotian's face was sallow and weak, so he asked Hu Xiaotian to stick out his tongue, check the tongue coating, and then diagnose his pulse.
Hu Xiaotian said weakly: "I may have a bad stomach. It doesn't matter. I just need to rest."
Li Honghan said: "We are having dinner together tonight, why don't I have anything to do?"
The doctor said: "Think carefully, what unclean things have you eaten recently, or what unusual things have you encountered."
Hu Xiaotian frowned, looking like he was thinking hard. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized: "I just drank some water... I can't remember other things..." He pointed to the water bowl on the bedside.
The doctor looked in the direction he pointed, only to see that there was still half a bowl of water in the bowl, and there were still a few pellets of rat droppings floating in it. These pellets of rat droppings were picked up by Hu Xiaotian from the corner, and they became his pretense of illness.
One of the props.
Li Honghan saw it clearly: "It turns out to be rat droppings. Maybe you drank unclean water and became sick."
Hu Xiaotian said in shock: "Rat shit...Am I infected with the plague?"
When several people heard the word plague, their expressions suddenly changed. Seventy years ago, there was a plague in Xiezhou. At that time, the entire city of Xiezhou was almost wiped out, and the land was devastated with death. Later, thanks to the medical officials sent by the imperial court,
After controlling the epidemic, the local people in Xiezhou still talk about it.
The doctor was also a little scared and took a step back. Hu Xiaotian grabbed him and said, "Doctor, am I suffering from the plague..." Before he could finish his words, the water he had just drank spurted out, all over the doctor.
The doctor was so frightened that his face changed, and he hurriedly broke away from Hu Xiaotian's hand and walked out.
Li Honghan took the opportunity to follow him out, and when he came to the door, he saw that the doctor had taken off his robe and threw it aside. Li Honghan couldn't help but said angrily: "Why are you so scared when I ask you to come here for treatment?"
The doctor was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground: "General Li, I am just an ordinary doctor with little talent and knowledge. I really can't tell what kind of disease the young master has. General, I'd better hire someone else."
Li Honghan said: "Who has the best medical skills in Xiezhou City?"
"I recommend Mr. Zhou Wenju, the miracle doctor of Xichuan."
Hu Xiaotian deliberately directed everyone's attention to make everyone suspect that he had the plague. Not long after he came to Xichuan, he heard about the plague that occurred in Xichuan seventy years ago, and he knew that most people in Xichuan were worried about it. This lie really worked, and it didn't work.
It took too much effort to get the man away. Even Li Honghan avoided it. Although it was not certain whether Hu Xiaotian had the plague, everyone could clearly see the rat droppings in the bowl. Hu Xiaotian's method was a psychological suggestion.
, no one thought so at first, but after being guided by him, everyone suspected that Hu Xiaotian might have the plague.
No one would risk their own lives. That's why the doctor was so frightened that he ran away. After Li Honghan learned that Hu Xiaotian might be infected with the plague, he immediately backed away. There was no need to take risks for Hu Xiaotian, not to mention that he originally only wanted to take the plague.
Hu Xiaotian should threaten Hu Buwei's chess pieces.
The two guards responsible for guarding Hu Xiaotian could not leave, and they had to guard outside the door. The two of them got two pieces of white cloth from nowhere to cover their mouths and noses. Although it was of no use, an extra layer of protection was a plus after all.
Peace of mind.
At the third watch, Xichuan's miracle doctor Zhou Wenju was invited from his home. After the Sharjah delegation entered the city today, the entire Xiezhou City became heavily guarded and the air seemed extremely tense. Onlookers were confused by the authorities, but the people in Xiezhou were confused.
Find out exactly what happened.
Zhou Wenju also couldn't sleep tonight. He heard some gossip during the day, which made him upset. He was preparing to wait until dawn to go to Yang Daoquan to find out what happened. He had a life-saving favor for Yang Daoquan, and he expected that Yang Daoquan would be interested in it.
Be honest with yourself.
In the middle of the night, Yang Daoquan sent someone to invite Zhou Wenju. He only said that there was an important patient to see, but he did not explain who was sick.
When Zhou Wenju arrived at the Tianfu Palace by car, he already knew that the sick person must be an important person. He asked Zhou Xing to carry the medicine box and then got off the car.
Following the guards to the courtyard on the west side, he found that the two guards guarding the door had covered their mouths and noses with white cloth. Zhou Wenju immediately realized that the situation was not good, and he also took out a mask from the medicine box. This kind of mask is still available in Qingyun County.
Hu Xiaotian taught him how to do it when he was young, and it was much more effective than covering his mouth and nose with a towel.
The two guards pointed to the room, and Zhou Wenju motioned to Zhou Xing to wait outside. If the patient was suffering from an infectious disease, the fewer people in, the less chance of infection.
Zhou Wenju pushed the door open and walked in. He looked at the patient on the bed by candlelight. When he saw the patient's face clearly, he was stunned. Zhou Wenju never expected that Hu Xiaotian would appear here, let alone this patient.
The young doctor whose medical skills were almost mythical in his mind actually fell ill.
Hu Xiaotian pretended to be sick and led everyone to suspect that he had the plague. First, he wanted to scare everyone away and make everyone avoid him. Another purpose was to lure Zhou Wenju to come to diagnose him. Zhou Wenju was in Xiezhou.
He is known as the number one miracle doctor in Xichuan. For problems that ordinary doctors cannot solve, he will most likely think of this person. Hu Xiaotian believes that he has some value at least for now. Li Honghan, his brother-in-law, cannot ignore him and let him go.
It will fend for itself. Of course, he is not sure about this matter, but now it is God's wish, and they have indeed invited Zhou Wenju.
Seeing that Zhou Wenju was really invited over, Hu Xiaotian was overjoyed even though he had expected it for a long time. Although he was happy, Hu Xiaotian still kept a clear head after all. Although he and Zhou Wenju were friends in need, he knew Zhou Wenju better.
The relationship between Zhou Wenju and Yang Daoquan is unusual. What's more, personal friendship is not worth mentioning in the face of political stance. If Zhou Wenju also supports the Li family of Xichuan, or has already become a member of the rebels, I am afraid that he wants to
His attempts to seek help here were in vain.
But now, Hu Xiaotian has no better choice, so he can only take the risk.
Zhou Wenju exclaimed in shock: "Master Hu, when did you arrive in Xiezhou? How could you be like this? Why are you so sick?" He took off his mask and came to sit by the bed.
Hu Xiaotian smiled calmly and said: "If people eat whole grains, who will not get sick?"
Zhou Wenju asked: "What disease does Mr. Hu have?" In his opinion, Hu Xiaotian has superb medical skills, so he naturally knows what disease he has.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Doctors don't heal themselves, so I have to trouble Mr. Zhou to diagnose my pulse."
Zhou Wenju nodded, and asked Hu Xiaotian to put his wrist on the bed, and slowly placed his fingers on Hu Xiaotian's veins. After about a cup of tea, Zhou Wenju slowly stroked his beard and whispered: "
It's just ordinary diarrhea." Although Hu Xiaotian's body temperature and pulse were a little abnormal, they were by no means serious.
Hu Xiaotian said: "They all said I had the plague."
Zhou Wenju smiled and said: "Master Hu should be aware of his condition."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr. Zhou, how is the situation outside?"
Zhou Wenju pursed his lips and said: "Rumors are spreading everywhere, and I can't tell what is true and what is false. Why did Mr. Hu come to Xiezhou?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Escort the King of Zhou and the Sharjah envoy."
Zhou Wen raised his eyebrows.
Hu Xiaotian suddenly held Zhou Wenju's wrist with his backhand and whispered: "What did Mr. Zhou hear?"
Zhou Wenju said: "I heard that Your Majesty passed the throne to the eldest prince, and I heard that Marshal Li supported the army to establish himself. People in Xiezhou City are panicked today. But there is no official news, and no one can be sure."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If the rumors are true, where will Mr. Zhou go?"
Zhou Wenju pursed his lips and said: "Zhou is a commoner. Although I don't care about worldly affairs, Zhou knows that I am a citizen of the well-off society. Even traffickers and foot soldiers know the principles of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. How could I not know it? If the rumors are true,
Zhou will never stay in Xichuan." He said this categorically and without hesitation.
Hu Xiaotian was always paying attention to Zhou Wenju's expression. From his expression, he guessed that Zhou Wenju's words were absolutely true. He nodded and lowered his voice: "Mr. Zhou, save me!"
Although he knew the door was closed, Zhou Wenju still subconsciously looked back and whispered: "What happened?"
Hu Xiaotian whispered in his ear: "The Li family has supported its troops and is independent. The King of Zhou has also been placed under house arrest by them. I am also in jail and cannot escape."
When Zhou Wenju heard what Hu Xiaotian said, he was stunned and said in a trembling voice: "How could he be like this? Li Shuai has always been loyal to the emperor and served the country in the past, how could he suddenly turn against Dakang? Mr. Hu, are you sure this news is true?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Why should I lie to you?" He recounted his experience of escorting the King of Zhou and the Sharjah envoy to Xiezhou, and also explained what happened after arriving in Xiezhou. After listening to this, Zhou Wenju was filled with doubts in his heart.
There is no doubt that Li Tianheng chose to rebel against Dakang, firstly because the prince was killed, and secondly to protect himself. But no matter what his purpose was, in the eyes of righteous people, Li Tianheng was a traitor and his crime was inexcusable.
His behavior was despised by everyone in the world. Zhou Wenju had an upright temperament and valued loyalty, filial piety and brotherhood the most. When he heard that the Li family had rebelled, he was immediately filled with righteous indignation. He angrily said: "Li Tianheng separatist rule as king, rebelled against the imperial court, harmed the great well-being, and everyone
