Chapter 337 Thunderous Means (Part 3)



Xiao Duye was left alone, sighing in the wind.

Su Xiaoxiao did not show any mercy to Xiao Duye, but since she was the attending physician of the Empress Dowager and Emperor Jingxuan, she had the capital to be arrogant.

Emperor Jingxuan's life was saved, and because Su Xiaoxiao gave him an antidote pill, Hu Jiusheng's "poisoning crime" was completely confirmed.

In a woodshed in the imperial palace, Hu Jiusheng cried out that he was wronged.

"I didn't poison His Majesty... I was detoxifying His Majesty... It's just... I might have made a mistake in the dosage..."

The presiding judges of his trial were Xiao Chonghua and the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, and Princess Jingning was also present.

When Emperor Jingxuan got into trouble yesterday, Xiao Chonghua and the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple were investigating the White Lotus case outside the capital, and they returned to the capital at daybreak.

As soon as they heard that Emperor Jingxuan had ordered poisoning, the two rushed into the palace without stopping.

The Dali Temple Chief Justice is good at solving cases, but he is not very proficient in medical theory.

He thought about it and suggested: "Why not let Doctor Su..."

"Please ask the imperial physician to come over!" Princess Jingning interrupted him.

What a joke, it's not even daybreak yet, don't disturb her sleep! The Dali Temple's scalp was numb.

Uh... is it an illusion?

Why do I feel that Princess Jingning is a little angry?

"Changping." Xiao Chonghua said lightly.

Changping understood and went to the Imperial Hospital to call over several imperial physicians, including Imperial Physician Zhu, Imperial Physician Li, Imperial Physician Wan and Imperial Physician Li.

The group carefully identified the poison found on Shopkeeper Wu, and checked the "antidote" prepared by Hu Jiusheng.

Doctor Zhu said, "They are indeed poisons, but... whether it is a case of fighting poison with poison is hard to say. I have never seen such a prescription."

The other three imperial physicians expressed the same view.

Fighting poison with poison is indeed a means of treatment, but it is not applicable to all poisons.

Maybe they failed to poison him once, so they poisoned him again.

Hu Jiusheng understood that if he could not prove that this prescription was effective, he would have no way out.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and revealed his trump card: "...It is the prescription that Doctor Fu gave back then...It is recorded in the medical book he left behind!"

"Where is the medical book?"

"In the Imperial Hospital."

Xiao Chonghua asked Changping to search, and he actually found it.

But there was not just one book, but a thick stack of medical books, medical records and notes, all written by Imperial Physician Fu himself.

Doctor Zhu and others were stunned. Doctor Fu had died suddenly that year, and they did not find these things when they were packing up his things. They just thought that Doctor Fu had taken them home and given them to his own son.

Unexpectedly, it fell into Hu Jiusheng's hands! Doctor Li opened a notebook and said, "Wanjindan... Isn't this the magic medicine that cured Madam Cheng's stroke last time? He said he developed it himself!"

Doctor Wan also found a prescription: "Seven Bitter Tea, Old Prince Rong drank it, and it cured his migraines and insomnia that had lasted for many years. Judge Hu also said it was his own prescription..."

"And this." Doctor Li made another new discovery.

One after another, many of the secret recipes that Hu Jiusheng claimed were his own or passed down from his ancestors in the Hu family turned out to be the hard work of Doctor Fu. Most of them were original prescriptions, and a small number were improved by him.

Some changes were good, while some were uncontrollable. For example, the poison that Emperor Jingxuan was infected with this time was the latter.

This medicine was originally a tiger and wolf recipe used to treat rheumatism. It is slightly toxic and its efficacy varies from person to person. It is still in the drug testing stage and is very risky. Doctor Fu has not used it on any patient yet.

Hu Jiusheng slightly changed the prescription and made corresponding changes to the antidote. It seemed to be effective, but its efficacy was not stable.

Half of it was Hu Jiusheng's fault, and the other half was Emperor Jingxuan's own bad luck.

The imperial doctors did not dare to say this.

The Dali Temple Minister questioned: "Since you knew that your antidote was risky, why did you give it to His Majesty? Are you testing the medicine on His Majesty?"

Hu Jiusheng's mind was in a mess: "I... I tried it with a chicken... The chicken was alive..."

He looked at the imperial doctors, hoping they would stand up and say something fair on his behalf.

But the imperial doctors no longer wanted to speak up for him.

He claimed other people's achievements as his own, and this position of judge was taken by stepping on the hard work of Imperial Physician Fu.

Corrupt character, moral decay! They finally saw through his true colors!

Bullshit medical talent, Doctor Fu was really blind to accept such an ungrateful person as his apprentice! "Yes, I took my master's prescription for myself, but so what? At least it means that I didn't poison His Majesty! I was detoxifying His Majesty!"

Princess Jingning said coldly: "Don't avoid the main point and only focus on the antidote. What about the poison in the ointment?"

Hu Jiusheng gritted his teeth and said, "My brother poisoned the ointment. I admit that he is guilty, but what does this have to do with me? You can scare Shopkeeper Wu, but don't bully me because I don't know the laws of the Great Zhou!"

The punishment of exterminating nine generations of a clan had been abolished by the previous emperor long ago. Unless one raises an army to establish his own regime or plots to usurp the throne, the disaster will not affect the family members.

"Yeah?"

Along with a young man's voice, a man dressed as a servant was kicked in.

The servant was none other than Judge Hu's medicine boy.

The one who kicked him was Su Mo.

Su Mo was still holding a covered basin of ashes in his hand.

There was burnt paper in the ashes, but it was not completely burned, and a few remaining words could be vaguely seen.

"…There is fraud…destruction of evidence…"

After several imperial doctors identified it, they confirmed that it was the handwriting of Imperial Doctor Hu.

Hu Jiusheng felt unwell.

This is the note he asked the medicine boy to bring to Mr. Hu!

Hu Laoer, is your brain filled with shit?

I can't even burn a piece of paper!

...In fact, it was burned completely long ago. It was forged by Wei Ting.

The content was forced out of the medicine boy's mouth.

Of course, Yaotong was not aware of the subsequent wave of operations.

The medicine boy confessed honestly: "Yesterday morning, before the master went out, he ran into the second master. The second master said that someone had put some poison in the ointment prepared by Doctor Su. This time, Doctor Su must be punished!"

In other words, he is an insider.

When he arrived at Yongshou Palace, the ointment had just been heated up and Emperor Jingxuan had not yet eaten it.

He had every chance to stop it.

It would be fine if others didn't care, but he was the elder brother of the murderer and an official appointed by the court. He was responsible for the emperor's salary and worries, so he had the obligation to be loyal to his duties! His behavior had already constituted murder to some extent! The Dali Temple Minister went to grab the gavel...

Well, this is not a court, he was caught alone.

He slapped his thigh!

"Hu Jiusheng! What else do you have to say!"

"No need to say anything, I'll say it for you!"

"Those who plot to murder your majesty shall be executed according to the law!"

"Come here! Take the criminal Hu Jiusheng to the Dali Temple! Execute him on a certain day!"

There are still 500 to 600 people following each chapter on the old Xiaoxiang app. Aren't you guys migrating? Smile and cry   , vote for the monthly ticket, don't let it expire.
