Chapter 098: At the Time of Death
Chapter 098 At the time of death.
At this time, at noon, the fog in front of the Yaowang Caolu has already dissipated, standing in the Yaowang Caolu and looking out, just enough to see the stream in front of the door, the stream is murmuring, and the sound of the noise is like a heavenly sound.
In the mourning hall, the atmosphere was much more awkward.
Although Murong Changqing and Ximen Long agreed to Hua Lang questioning them, they were a little unhappy in their hearts, and Hua Lang felt uncomfortable when he asked them.
In the hearts of the two of them, they must have wanted to say, how good Master was to them, how could they poison Master?
But no matter what, they must be interrogated by Hanalang.
After everyone sat down, Hua Lang glanced at everyone, and then asked, "I want to know who found the body in Lu Dao?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Murong Changqing's body, Murong Changqing got up and said: "It was the first corpse I found, I remember that it was at noon yesterday, I went to call the master to dinner, but no one answered after knocking on the door several times, I was a little worried, so I pushed the door open, and after pushing the door open, I found that the master was lying in front of the table and was dead." ”
Murong Changqing sat down again after speaking, and he didn't find anything abnormal in his expression.
Hwarang then went on to ask, "Where were the others at the time?" ”
Ximenlong got up and replied, "At that time, I was refining medicine in the room with one of my apprentices, while the other disciples were eating, and we all had alibi certificates. ”
After listening to Ximenlong's words, Hua Lang's brows tightened again, and he continued to ask for a long time: "You Medicine King Caolu, have anyone else been here?" ”
Murong Changqing shook his head: "No, there was no whole day yesterday, our Medicine King Caolu rarely deals with the outside world, and no one is allowed to enter casually, because there are a lot of herbs in it, and if you mess it up and give it to the patient, it will kill you, so we never let outsiders in." ”
This also makes sense, Hua Lang thought for a moment and said, "If someone sneaks in, will you find out?" ”
"Of course, we will find that our Medicine King Herb is not very big, and there are many people, if one person quietly enters, it is impossible for us not to find out." Ximenlong looked at Hua Lang and said yes.
Although Hua Lang has not been in the Medicine King Cottage for a short time, the layout inside has also been figured out, and the truth is indeed as Ximenlong said, if outsiders break in, they will definitely be discovered.
But what if the intruder is disguised?
Therefore, Hwarang did not rule out the possibility that the murderer was an outsider.
After asking like this, Hua Lang asked again: "At that time, the Medicine King Ye Feng fell in his room, did you hear any noise?" ”
Everyone shook their heads and said they hadn't heard anything.
"Did you encounter anyone suspicious?"
Everyone shook their heads again.
Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Hua Lang asked to take a look at the room of the Medicine King Ye Fengluo, and this request was not too much at all, so Murong Changqing and Ximen Long led everyone there.
On the way there, Hua Lang found that the medicine king's house was some distance from everyone's house, or it was isolated, which also created a possibility that if the murderer came to the medicine king Ye Fengluo's room to kill people, it was impossible for others to hear the sound, and it was rarely possible to see anything.
Murong Changqing pushed open the door and invited everyone into the house, after entering the house, Hua Lang found that the room where the medicine king Ye Fengluo was located was very large, with all kinds of medicinal materials placed in it, and on the table in the middle of the house, there were also some unknown medicinal materials, seeing this, Hua Lang asked, "Was the body of the medicine king lying on this table at that time?" ”
Murong Changqing nodded again and again: "That's right." ”
When he came to the table, Hua Lang picked up the herbs on the table and looked at them, and found that many of them had been bitten, so he picked up those herbs and asked, "Is the medicine king tasting a hundred herbs?" ”
Ximen Long nodded again and again: "That's right, Master has been adding medicinal herbs to his book "Hundred Herbs Sutra", and in order to verify the characteristics of herbs, he will taste it himself." ”
After listening to Ximenlong's words, Hua Lang couldn't help but admire this medicine king, throughout the ages, the doctor who was willing to taste the herbs in person must have the people in distress in the world.
In ancient times, there was Shennong to taste the herbs, the Ming Dynasty had Li Shizhen to taste the herbs, in the Song Dynasty Renzong years, Hualang found a medicine king who tasted the herbs, but unfortunately, the medicine king died.
When he thought of dying, Hua Lang's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he looked at everyone and said, "You know pharmacology, come and see, these herbs on the table are poisonous, or will they be poisoned and die if they are eaten together?" ”
After listening to Hua Lang's words, everyone immediately understood that Ye Fengluo, the king of medicine, was poisoned when he tasted a hundred herbs, so it was very likely that he had eaten poisonous herbs by mistake, and then he was poisoned and died.
Murong Changqing, Ximen Long, and Gongsun Ce came to the table, carefully inspected the medicinal materials on the table, and kept saying the names of those herbs and whether they were poisonous or not.
"Turnip, spicy, warm, non-toxic, treatment of long-term wind in the head, cough reversal."
"The snake bed has a bitter taste, flat, non-toxic, and can't afford to cure yang."
"Sweet rosin, sweet, warm, non-toxic, cure heart and abdomen pain, spleen depression ......"
Murong Changqing and Ximen Longgong Sun Ce said those herbs one by one, but these herbs were non-toxic, but just when Hua Lang felt a little disappointed, Ximen Long suddenly said: "Xu Changqing, also known as Ghost Inspector Post, Farewell Immortal Trail, has a pungent and warm taste, and is non-toxic......
As soon as Ximenlong said this, Wen Meng, Hua Wan'er and others were a little disappointed, and they were non-toxic, but when everyone was disappointed, Ximenlong continued: "Whether Xu Changqing is poisonous or not, there has been no definite opinion, many people think that it is non-toxic, but Tao Hongjing, a medical master in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, said in his book "Shennong's Materia Medica" that Xu Changqing is poisonous, but no one dares to try it in later generations, so it is toxic and non-toxic, and no one knows. ”
After Ximenlong finished speaking, everyone was extremely excited, if what Ximenlong said was true, then the medicine king Ye Fengluo probably wanted to see if this Xu Changqing was really poisonous, so he tried it, but who knew that Xu Changqing was really poisonous, and the medicine king Ye Fengluo suddenly died after eating it.
But just when everyone thought that the medicine king Ye Fengluo died on Xu Changqing's herb, Hua Lang shook his head and said: "I think it is impossible for the medicine king to die on this Xu Changqing herb, I have also heard of this herb, although it may be poisonous, but the toxicity is not very strong, and with Xu Changqing half a tael, Mao root three points, Mutong, winter sunflower seeds one tael, talc two taels, betel nut relics, wheat ears and half a tael, water frying, plus a penny of Pu Ni, warm clothing can cure urine blockage, think of such a herb, it is impossible to eat the dead." ”
