Min'an Town, Shanqiao Medical Center.
Wang Chang, Liu Su and others crossed the threshold. People in the medical center were busy, and there were five or six people waiting. Wang Chang and others calculated that they still had time, so they stood behind the team without being anxious.
A doctor in his early fifties was sitting behind the desk, with black and white hair, a short beard, and piercing eyes. He was taking the patient's pulse, then asked a few questions, gave a prescription, asked the patient to take the medicine, decoct it, and gave a few instructions. The tone is kind.
When it was the turn of the woman in front of Wang Chang to see a doctor, the doctor took her pulse and waved his hand: "It's just that there is some loss of qi and blood, so no medicine is needed. Just eat some black sesame seeds, red dates, and pork liver."
The man next to the woman was grateful and helped the woman leave.
Wang Chang stepped forward, sat down, stretched out his hand and looked at the doctor, and asked, "You are Wu Shanqiao, right?"
The doctor in front of him nodded slightly and raised his hand to take his pulse.
Wang Chang asked: "The woman just now suffered from blood loss. Why didn't you prescribe some medicine to supplement her? Ginseng, astragalus, atractylodes, and yam. Why didn't you prescribe it to her so that she could get better soon?"
Wu Shanqiao put his fingers on Wang Chang's wrist and said: "???????????????? It's not difficult to prescribe medicine to a woman, but it's difficult not to prescribe it. The medicine is replenishing." It’s not as good as food supplements after all, not to mention her family is poor, if we prescribe medicine to her, can she afford the medicine?”
Liu Su frowned and said: "Medicine money, as a descendant of Wu Kui, you should not hang the pot to save the world, but you are talking about medicine money here..."
Wu Shanqiao retracted his hand, raised his head, looked at Liu Su, and said with a smile: "If Xuan Hu saves the world, I should pay all the family property. I also want to eat, there are old people who need support, and there are children who are still studying for their studies and have no money. What should I use to maintain the hospital and treat the people? If you have high moral standards, you might as well take out your money and hang it in a pot to save the world. "
Liu Su's face turned pale. Naturally, he couldn't hand over his money...
Wang Chang laughed and looked at Wu Shanqiao: "What a sharp-tongued person, but you are a doctor, please tell me about my illness."
Wu Shanqiao looked at Wang Chang, then at Liu Su and Lin Xu, and smiled coldly: "You guys are here, I'm afraid you are not sick and looking for a doctor."
This was originally a derogatory term, but Wang Chang clapped his hands after hearing this: "Yes, we are indeed looking for a doctor when there is no illness, but before we look for a disease, we need Dr. Wu's help."
Wu Shanqiao shook his head: "I don't dare to be a miracle doctor. Just tell me."
Wang Chang stopped smiling and his face became serious: "Doctor Wu should also have heard the news that pimple plague has appeared in Shaowu Mansion, Yanping Mansion, and Jianning Mansion. I came here to ask for your help."
Although Wu Shanqiao was in Min'an Town, a little far away from Yanping, he had heard of such news. Seeing that Wang Chang and others seemed unusual, he asked, "Who are you?"
Wang Chang revealed his identity: "Wang Chang from Taiyuan Hospital, these two are Liu Su and Lin Xu, professors of the Imperial College of Medicine. To be honest with Doctor Wu, the imperial court knew about this matter and was very angry at the inaction of the Fujian Chief Envoy and the local government. , appointed cabinet minister Yu Xin as governor of Fujian. Once the court takes action, the rest depends on the methods and abilities of the doctors."
"Although we have some prescriptions, there are very few that can deal with pimple plague, and it is difficult to ensure their effectiveness. I came here today to ask Dr. Wu to give you some advice and methods. If it is convenient, I would like to ask you to accompany me to Yanping." and other places to control the epidemic."
Wu Shanqiao looked at Wang Chang and others who were solemnly saluting, and quickly stood up to avoid it, and refused: "The local government does not act? Oh, if it was just inaction, there would not be today's situation. You go, I don't want to be involved in this matter , the muddy water is so big that if you fall into it, you will lose your life.”
Lin Xu frowned and stepped forward to ask: "What does Doctor Wu mean by this? What is the muddy water? Could it be that besides the epidemic, there are also man-made disasters?"
Wu Shanqiao waved his hand and backed away: "It's better for you not to ask any further questions. There is no cure for pimple plague, and there is no cure. It depends on the individual whether it's life or death."
Liu Su angrily said: "Life and death have fate? As doctors, aren't we just fighting against life? What you do is to save lives and heal the wounded. How many people have you offended the King of Hell? You are not even afraid of the King of Hell, why are you afraid of the ghosts and ghosts in this world? If there is a place If the officials are wrong, why don't they dare to speak out, there are still people here who can cover the sky with just one hand?"
Wu Shanqiao looked at Liu Su and sighed: "No one can cover the sky with one hand, but covering the Fujian officials is enough. You guys should leave, there is nothing I can do about this matter."
Liu Su still wanted to speak, but Wang Chang reached out to stop him.
Wang Chang looked at Wu Shanqiao, who was full of scruples, and said solemnly: "Doctor Wu doesn't want to get involved, and we won't force him. Before leaving, I want to say more Two words, please don’t blame me.”
Wu Shanqiao remained silent.
Wang Chang said seriously: "No matter what the local officials are, we are just pure doctors, people who practice medicine and treat the people. Isn't what we have learned in our lives just to save human lives? At present, the plague is spreading in the three prefectures, and countless people are struggling to death. I am dying." As a doctor, how can you ignore death? Doctor Wu has scruples, but we don’t, and we are not afraid, because behind us is Emperor Jianwen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
Wu Shanqiao looked at Wang Chang and others who were bowing and retreating, with a look of struggle in his eyes.
Wang Zhonghe, the chief envoy of Fujian, was a very powerful person. He served in Fujian for more than ten years and was in charge of Fujian in the late Hongwu period. However, this man was nepotistic and many of his relatives were quietly placed in various governments. The magistrate of a prefecture also needs to look at the expressions of fellow magistrates, or even a small clerk, just because there is the chief envoy behind him.
There was once an upright magistrate who did not want to blame Wang Zhonghe and repeatedly stood up to him. As a result, within three months, the magistrate died of "cold". Naturally, the only people who were helped up were those sent by the chief envoy who followed his lead. Wu Zuo also slipped and fell into the river because of his lack of cooperation.
After the plague emerged, Wang Zhonghe ordered all localities not to report to the court and asked people in the epidemic areas not to move. These two points were indeed implemented. It is said that the epidemic did not leave the three prefectures.
But this is not because Wang Zhonghe has implemented policies well, but because he does not want the matter to escalate and the news to spread beyond his control. What he wants is that the people in the epidemic area will die if they die. The poor people in the mountainous areas can't squeeze out any profit. Don't let the death of these people affect your official career.
evidence?
What more evidence is needed? Who doesn’t know that he is a famous doctor? But the plague has been spreading for a month, has anyone asked themselves?
No!
In the end, only people from the capital came!
Sad, deplorable!
Wu Shanqiao arranged for his disciple Wu Zun to take care of the medical clinic. He walked into the back hall and looked at the green bamboo in the yard, and he couldn't help but be in a trance. Wang Chang's words before leaving are thought-provoking.
The God of Fujian is not Wang Zhonghe, but Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen!
I am a doctor, and the duty of a doctor is to save people. He cannot run away out of fear, cannot blind his conscience because of trouble, and cannot save the world by hanging a pot, but he should also save people from illness.
Plague?
When this devil comes to the world, someone needs to take care of it. Once upon a time, his ancestor Wu Kui went deep into the epidemic area and left behind the reputation of Emperor Baosheng. Time has changed, and when it is his generation's turn, does it really mean that he has no courage?
No!
I, Wu Shanqiao, cannot afford to be embarrassed like this!
"I'm leaving, and I might not be able to come back. But I've left enough wealth for you. Even if I die outside, you can survive."
Wu Shanqiao left a message for his wife and children, took two medical books and a medicine box and left the hospital.
People are struggling in pain, and doctors should provide treatment!
This step is fearless, firm, and faith.
After Yu Xin completed the arrangements, he returned to Taiping Port. He saw Wang Chang, Liu Su and others who had returned with disappointed expressions on their faces. They were comforting them when they saw a doctor carrying a medicine box on the shore. He said to Wang Chang and others: "Look ,Who is that?"
Wang Chang and others turned around and saw Wu Shanqiao coming. They were overjoyed and quickly got off the boat to invite him.
When Yu Xin heard that Wu Shanqiao was willing to serve the imperial court and control the plague, and that he was the queen of Wu Kui, he couldn't help but praise: "Doctor Wu has the style of preserving the emperor's life, which is a blessing to the people of Fujian."
Wu Shanqiao knew that this was the governor of Fujian, who controlled three divisions by one person. He came with an order, so he said: "Governor Yu, although Caomin is just a doctor and an unpopular person, think about it carefully. If you don't spit out some words, I am afraid that I will be ashamed of my conscience and have trouble sleeping day and night."
Yu Xin arranged for him to sit down: "Miscellaneous people? No, the status of doctors nowadays is not that of the past. The Imperial College regards it as an important subject. Many supervisors have chosen to study medicine, and they will enter the imperial court as officials in the future. Can they Do you think they are miscellaneous people? It is inappropriate. What Dr. Wu wants to say, he might as well say it directly without caring about his identity."
Wu Shanqiao said solemnly: "Fujian Chief Envoy Si Wang Zhonghe controlled Taiping Port and Quanzhou Port, seeking huge profits, and in the name of the court, he enslaved the people to open mountains and mines. It was said that they were giving money for starting work, but when they were actually given, all kinds of things happened. If the people refuse to make things difficult, they will be forcibly recruited and said to be doing corvee service, and countless people will suffer greatly."
"Wang Zhonghe is even more nepotistic and has minions all over the place. He controls Fujian. Even the commander of Fujian Province, Wang Cai, married him and helped him deal with many things overtly and covertly, including the death of two magistrates..."
Yu Xin was shocked when he heard Wu Shanqiao's words. The problem in Fujian might be more serious than he thought. If he was not careful, something big might happen.
"Doctor Wu, is there any evidence for what you said?"
Yu Xin frowned.
For example, the chief envoy and the commander-in-chief Shi were all important officials of the imperial court and local officials. There was no evidence to touch them, and there was no way to give an explanation to the world.
Wu Shanqiao couldn't provide any evidence and was very bitter: "I am just a doctor. I know this because I have been among the people a lot. I have heard the people's cries. I have seen people who were disabled or beaten to death. I have also heard with my own ears the officialdom. Dark deal!”
Yu Xin took a deep breath, his face was gloomy, and he looked sideways at the Security Bureau Qianhu Guo Gang: "Can the Fujian Security Bureau still be trusted?"
Guo Gang stared. What Yu Xin meant was that the Chief Envoy was dead, the Commander Shi was dead, and the Security Bureau didn't even report, so it was also rotten!
