Chapter 450 There is something fishy

After doing this, Zhuang Qingning went to Cheng Ruize's house again and handed the pill to Fang Hou, "Take this pill three times a day, with at least two and a half hours between each dose."

"Also, this pill must be swallowed in one gulp. Do not chew it. Remember, remember, otherwise it will lose its medicinal properties."

"I've made a note of it, Shopkeeper Zhuang, don't worry." Fang Hou nodded repeatedly, "I just want to ask Shopkeeper Zhuang, when will my young master wake up?"

"I estimate it will take at most half an hour." Zhuang Qingning said, "When the time comes, you can ask Doctor Qin to take your pulse again."

After all, she is not a doctor. Even though Cheng Ruize's physical condition seems to be better than before, Fang Hou and others should not be very reassured.

If they let a serious doctor take a look, they should feel relieved.

Fang Hou had just thought about asking Doctor Qin to take his pulse to see if the toxicity had really weakened, but he was worried that it would be awkward to do this in front of Zhuang Qingning, so he thought about waiting for Zhuang Qingning to leave and then asking Doctor Qin to come over.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Qingning was the one who brought it up first.

This surprised Fang Hou a little.

But he also felt that Zhuang Qingning's words made her seem more open-minded and confident in her medical skills, which made him admire and respect her even more.

"Yes." Fang Hou nodded.

“However, if Doctor Qin writes another prescription, you don’t have to use it. All medicines are toxic and their properties are conflicting. Don’t delay Manager Cheng from detoxifying the poison.” Zhuang Qingning warned.

"Don't worry, Manager Zhuang. I understand." Fang Hou nodded again.

He still understood this simple truth.

"also……"

Zhuang Qingning lowered his voice and said, "In addition, Manager Cheng's poison can be cured, and he has recovered now. Remember not to publicize your improvement."

"Why is this?" Fang Hou was suddenly very surprised.

But when Fang Hou thought that Cheng Ruize was not ill but poisoned, he immediately became alert, "Manager Zhuang means that someone in the family wants to kill Manager Cheng?"

"I dare not assert that this person is at home for the time being, but judging from the condition of Shopkeeper Cheng, this poison is not so strong overnight, but it takes long-term contact to become so strong. If Shopkeeper Cheng accidentally touched it, it would be fine once, but after such a long time, and those of you who often follow him are not seriously injured, we have to think that it was man-made."

"And if it was a human act, the person who could have poisoned the place for such a long time without anyone noticing must be someone close to Manager Cheng, or at least someone who knows Manager Cheng very well and is familiar with the family. Even if this person is not at home, he will not be far away, and he must be watching every move here at this moment."

Zhuang Qingning said, "Since this person wants to kill Manager Cheng, if he finds out that Manager Cheng is fine, he will definitely want to kill him again. It's hard to guard against him. It's better not to make it public and wait and see if he can show his true colors."

"Manager Zhuang is right." Fang Hou thought carefully about Zhuang Qingning's words and nodded.

"Besides, there is also the matter of Doctor Zhuang..."

Zhuang Qingning said, "This matter is quite strange, we need to investigate it carefully."

"When I was examining Manager Cheng just now, I found that this poison is not easy to be detected by others and is very easy to be misdiagnosed. If it is misdiagnosed, it is not wrong to treat it with acupuncture. Doctor Zhuang's treatment method is not wrong. But if we want to talk about it in practice, Doctor Zhuang's medical skills are limited. He really can't tell that this is a symptom of poisoning."

"In addition, I just heard you say that you went to invite a doctor, and that's how you got Doctor Zhuang back. But Doctor Zhuang felt that his medical skills were limited, and he was not in the county town on weekdays. He only saw patients in the pharmacy in our town. How did he become the doctor of Huichuntang?"

Fang Hou was also stunned for a moment. "But at that time, Huichuntang said that this was a famous doctor who had just arrived here. His medical skills were very superb. That's why we invited Doctor Zhuang back."

Huichuntang is a well-known medical clinic in the county. Even the doctors working in Chengji's pharmacy are mostly invited from Huichuntang.

But now it seems that is not the case.

"It seems that there is a big problem here." Zhuang Qingning thought, "Now, it is better to ask Doctor Zhuang."

"Doctor Zhuang is in the woodshed now..."

At this point, Fang Hou also realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly led Zhuang Qingning to the woodshed. He also quickly asked the servant who was guarding Zhuang Wencheng to untie Zhuang Wencheng and asked him to go aside to talk.

"There must be a misunderstanding. Just now..." Fang Hou bowed his hands repeatedly to apologize, "I'm sorry, Doctor Zhuang."

Zhuang Wencheng had already had a cup of tea. After listening to Zhuang Qingning's explanation of the whole story, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You don't have to blame yourself. When I treated your young master, I was also shocked. I really didn't expect that Young Master Cheng was poisoned, not sick."

"Brother Wencheng, what is Huichuntang? Why did you go to Huichuntang, and how did you become a doctor in Huichuntang?" Zhuang Qingning asked.

"Originally, I came to the county town today to look for some medical books and buy some medicinal materials to make some pills. But when I got to the county town, I heard that Doctor Lu from Huichun Hall was going to talk about some medical theories, so I decided to come and listen."

"But when I arrived at Huichuntang, Doctor Lu had already finished his talk, so I felt a little disappointed. I wanted to buy some things and go back early, but a pharmacist in the clinic stopped me and asked if I was a doctor and if I could treat some common diseases. He also said that the doctors in Huichuntang were all out seeing patients and there was no doctor sitting in right now. But someone was going to come and see a doctor later, so he asked me to help see the patient."

"He even promised me that if I could help with the diagnosis, he would give me a copy of Doctor Lu's medical book as a token of his gratitude."

Zhuang Wencheng said, "Doctors are kind-hearted. If I can help treat the patient, I will naturally be willing to help. What's more, you want to give me a medical book? I agreed to it. Not long after, this young man came, and the medicine boy asked me to come here with him."

"You all know what happened after we got here..."

After hearing what Zhuang Wencheng said, Fang Hou's eyes widened, his brows knitted high, and he said angrily, "But Huichuntang told me that they had invited a famous doctor who guaranteed to cure my young master's illness..."

"The inconsistency between the previous and the next statement is even more indicative of something fishy going on." Zhuang Qingning said, "That person knew you were going to see a doctor, so he made some special moves here at Huichun Hall. He also wanted to use Brother Wencheng to make Young Master Cheng seriously ill. This way, your attention would only be focused on Brother Wencheng, and you would only think about seeking justice for Shopkeeper Cheng, and ignore the poisoning."
