Although Liu Haojia had already expected this answer, his heart still sank after hearing it! At the same time, the imperial doctor explained: "The reason why this poison is difficult to cure is because the symptoms of some poisons are very similar and difficult to distinguish, so it is impossible to prescribe the right medicine! The most important thing is that these toxins are combined together to produce a new toxin, which is completely There is no solution! Moreover, the Chief Assistant often attacks suddenly, and even though it is replenished in time, it is actually already weak inside! So when encountering such a fierce poison, it is somewhat difficult to support it!"
Hearing this, Liu Haojia calmed down and nodded and said, "Okay, I already know! Now I'm going to give a reply to Lord Long Live!"
The imperial doctor hurriedly bowed and saluted and said, "I hope you can save me!"
When Liu Haojia heard him say the word "rescue", she knew that the man in front of him was already worried! However, the imperial doctor has done his best on the matter in front of him, so he will naturally not express his anger! He said: "Go and do the work, I will speak for you!"
Then Liu Haojia asked someone to deliver a letter to the palace, and then went to various investigators to question him one by one! When I rushed to the kitchen after checking two places, I heard screams from a distance! After taking a few more steps, the smell of blood would rise to the sky! When he entered the kitchen, he found that four people had been beaten so hard that they were almost unrecognizable!
Seeing Liu Haojia come in, a Dongchang stall owner and a Jinyiwei Baihu immediately stepped forward to salute! Liu Haojia frowned and asked, "Why do you use so much force? What if you beat someone to death?"
The stall owners in Dongchang naturally knew that the man in front of them could not be offended. He was the man who wore the same pants as their boss! So he immediately said, "Don't worry, Sir, I know exactly how to attack! Even though they look miserable, they are actually just skin injuries, at most they only hurt some muscles and bones!"
When Liu Haojia heard him say that it would hurt his muscles and bones, he knew that these people would definitely be disabled in the future! But he can't control that much at this time, and he won't get any good results if he doesn't investigate the case clearly! So he just frowned, and then continued: "Did you ask me anything?"
At this time Baihu said: "I forgive you, I didn't ask anything! Now everyone who has the opportunity to come into contact with the soup has been tortured, and they don't seem to be lying!"
Liu Haojia stared and said, "This is not the answer I want! Are you sure?"
How could Baihu be willing to take on this responsibility, so he bent down again and again and said: "Sir, my subordinates have been questioning me for a long time, and the punishments that should be carried out have been carried out, but these people still refuse to let go! And... "
At this point, Baihu hesitated! Upon seeing this, Liu Haojia immediately said: "And what?"
When Baihu heard Liu Haojia's questioning, he simply lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, based on my subordinates' many years of experience, these four people did not tell lies. They were indeed not responsible for the poison!"
Hearing this, Liu Haojia opened his eyes wide and said, "Then the poison can't appear out of thin air in the soup bowl, right? By the way, where is the bowl of soup?"
Baihu pointed to the table next to him. Liu Haojia saw that there was indeed half a bowl of soup and a casserole for boiling medicine on the table! He stepped forward, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and stirred the soup. He found that the soup was very pure and contained nothing! I think the contents inside have been removed!
Then he used chopsticks to poke at the casserole next to him, and sure enough he saw a lot of medicinal materials in it. But Liu Haojia had no research on this thing. He could only throw away his chopsticks and said: "Keep checking! Just remember, don't kill people!"
Hearing what Liu Haojia said, both of them put their minds at ease. After looking at each other, they both understood what the other was thinking, which was to expand the number of people who were suspicious, which meant that more people would be unlucky! .Ь.
After Liu Haojia left the kitchen, he walked around in a circle and hurried back to Zhang Juzheng's bedroom! At this time, an imperial doctor was giving Zhang Juzheng acupuncture! And Zhang Juzheng's three sons have gathered here to wait for news after finishing their work!
Liu Haojia waved the three of them over and said: "Remember one thing, your father's condition must not be leaked to the public now! We can only claim to the outside world that the chief assistant was drunk last night and fell asleep in the garden and was blown by the wind. It’s down! Is it clear?”
Zhang Jingxiu nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, sir! I'll find out later!"
By this time, the imperial doctor had finished injecting Zhang Juzheng, and Liu
Hao Jia called him over! While wiping his sweat, he walked over and wanted to salute. Liu Haojia said: "No need to salute! I want to ask you, how is your condition now?"
The imperial doctor lowered his head and said, "Xia Guan just gave Mr. Chief Assistant a bowl of medicine and gave him an injection. If Mr. Chief Assistant can wake up before dawn, it will be fine! It's just that he won't get seriously ill!" Xiu Shuzhu
Liu Haojia asked directly: "What if I can't wake up?"
The imperial doctor hesitated again and again, and finally lowered his head and said, "Then I'm afraid the medicine is no longer effective!"
When Zhang Jingxiu heard this, the three people's legs softened almost at the same time, and they had to support each other to stand! Liu Haojia glanced at them and said slowly: "That means there is nothing we can do, right?"
After the three imperial doctors exchanged glances again, the youngest one lowered his head and said, "It's not impossible! There is a medicine in the palace that, when used in combination with acupuncture, can definitely wake up the First Assistant! But..."
Liu Haojia narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't show off at this time! But let's make it clear now!"
At this time, the ears of Zhang Jingxiu and the other three people were all perked up, fearing that they would miss any word he said! Then they heard the imperial doctor say in a voice that only they could hear: "It's just that this medicine will kill people! In fact, this medicine is specially used to leave last words for terminally ill people! And the chief assistant is currently in a state of poisoning, so I'm going to The time to wake up after taking the medicine will probably be much shorter than that of other patients!"
Liu Haojia understood as soon as he heard it. This medicine was the legendary tiger and wolf medicine. As long as he took it, he would basically step into the gate of hell with half a foot! But considering the current situation, it may not be a good idea! Zhang Juzheng has a great say in his successor. If he appoints a successor, this will be most beneficial to the smooth transition of the Ming Dynasty!
Thinking of this, Liu Haojia let out a long breath and said, "I understand! I will make this matter clear to you! But now you should concentrate all your efforts to find out how the murderer poisoned you? The poison cannot appear out of thin air. In the soup bowl!"
The imperial doctor who spoke first said with a wry smile: "Master Liu, it's not that I can't help, it's that I don't know how to judge cases! Now we can only confirm that there is no problem with the medicinal materials. The problem lies after the medicinal materials are put into the casserole. stage!"
