Chapter 238 Pills
"The bones of normal people should be white." Li Shizhen looked very conscious and seemed to have dealt with corpses a lot.
"It is said that poisoning will turn black, but it cannot be concluded that it is mercury poison."
He stretched out his hand, carefully removed a thoracic vertebra, carefully looked at the bright black marks attached to the top, and then took the knife handed over by Zhao Hao. He gently scraped the marks with a sharp blade and put them in a small porcelain disc.
Li Shizhen wasted another golden needle and identified that it was indeed mercury.
"Actually, silver needles are OK," Zhao Hao reminded in a low voice. Except for iron, almost all metals can form amalgam, so there is no need to use gold.
"Didn't you say it earlier..." Li Shizhen sighed and said, "This set of golden needles was just bought with scientific research funds."
"I have to wonder if I feel sorry for you." Zhao Hao rolled his eyes.
The two were bickering, but when they heard a thud, Chen Huaixiu fainted on the ground...
"lady!"
"lady!"
~~
It was the night when the waves slammed the shore and the strong wind blew, causing the lanterns of the Shen Family Ancestral Hall to shake.
In the backyard of the ancestral hall, there is a room for Chen Huaixiu to keep a guard.
At this time, she leaned against the head of the bed, whispering pale lips, and was telling Zhao Hao about the tragedy a year ago.
"The deceased husband suffers from white blood disease. Although he can't see it on his face, he has large white spots on his body. Therefore, no matter how hot the weather is, he always wears long clothes and trousers."
The little widow with a miserable life said sadly:
"He is the leader of the gang and needs decentness, so he tried every means to seek medical treatment and seek medicine to cure this problem. At the end of last summer, the deceased husband heard that there was a doctor in Hangzhou who was very good at treating skin diseases. He took the opportunity of escorting the boat and went back to ask for a few boxes of pills."
Zhao Hao thought to himself, "Pills" are really unlucky.
"As soon as the doctor ordered, I really didn't itch, and the white spots on my body seemed to be smaller. The deceased husband was so happy that he felt that his disease could finally be eradicated and lived like a normal person..."
"Who knew that when he got the second box, his body suddenly became irritated. In the middle of the night, he suddenly started vomiting and diarrhea, and had a high fever that caused his whole body to twitch, his lips became purple, and later he had bloody stools..."
Chen Huaixiu covered her face with her hands and sobbed in grief: "It's useless to hire a doctor and a sage. There was no Jiangnan Hospital at that time. As a result, it wouldn't work in three days."
"Mrs. Mourn on Madam's Day." Zhao Hao sighed softly. Some people were knocked down by hardships, while others became stronger and stronger as they frustrated. Mrs. Shen was obviously the latter.
After a while, Chen Huaixiu wiped away her tears and stabilized her emotions.
"Later, we went to Hangzhou to find the doctor, but it was gone. When we asked the neighbors, he was a doctor who was a traveler, and he was not a famous doctor in Hangzhou at all."
"Who told Gang Master Shen to find him?" Zhao Hao asked softly.
"I don't know." Chen Huaixiu shook his head and said, "Until today, we all thought that he had misbehaved a quack doctor and died after taking fake medicine. In addition, he has always been very secretive about his illness and never talked about it in front of the gang members. Therefore, everyone didn't know at all, who told him the famous doctor in Hangzhou."
"Why did the lady think of this from Xiao Teng's incident?" Mr. Zhao asked, "Didn't you say that their symptoms vary greatly?"
"I don't suspect it because of the disease, but simply doubt someone." Chen Huaixiu's beautiful eyes showed an uncontrollable hatred:
"Since he is the most suspicious of harming Xiao Teng, and he is the only person who has the conditions to intercept me in the previous episode. I have to wonder if he hopes that our whole family will die? After all, he was the one who benefited the most when his husband died."
The strong wind outside the house blew the window lattice, shaking the Korean paper that was covered with windows. In the whimpering sound of the wind, the shadows of the trees were dancing like devils on the window paper.
"Madam, are you talking about Gang Guo?" Zhao Hao asked softly.
"Yes, I suspect he is the one who is behind the scenes." Chen Huaixiu nodded and said hatefully: "In the past two years, he has been hooking up with the Xu family in Huating and always wants to sell the Sha Chuanjia to the Xu family. Naturally, the deceased husband would not agree, and handed over the foundation founded by his ancestors. The two quarreled a lot in private."
"The deceased husband once said hatefully that he would kick him out of the Sand Boat Gang and let him go back to Songjiang to find his old master Xu Ge. As a result, after that, Guo Donglin was like a different person, never mentioned the matter of the Xu family, and admitted his mistake to the deceased husband and would not contradict him again."
"At that time, my husband thought that the knocking was effective. In Guo's heart, the Shachuan Gang was more important than the Xu family, so he completely let go of his knot and continued to entrust his important tasks. Unexpectedly, he died of poisoning within a few months."
"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded and said, "Mr. Guo is indeed likely to numb the leader of the Shen Gang."
"But I still have no evidence." Chen Huaixiu covered his face dejectedly and said in a stern voice: "He is now the leader of the Sand Boat Gang. If you can't come up with conclusive evidence, I can't accuse him rashly."
"Haha, it turns out that the wife is worried about this." Zhao Hao chuckled after hearing this: "Indeed, there is no direct evidence for whether it is Xiao Teng's affairs, the affairs of honoring husbands or the assassination of his wife, and the leaders of Guo's gang."
As he said that, he stood up and said slowly, "But why is this difficult? Without evidence, we will create one."
"What the young master said is reasonable, but the seamless evidence is really difficult." Chen Huaixiu frowned and said, "If you fabricate it out of thin air, you may not be able to defeat him, and you will be blamed."
"Madam, don't worry." But Zhao Hao said confidently: "The day before yesterday, my people had found the Japanese pirates who attacked her."
"What?" Chen Huaixiu couldn't hide her surprise. "Where?"
"It's in the white reed sand 70 miles northeast of Sansha." Zhao Hao did not hide it.
"Where are you..." Chen Huaixiu knew the Chongming Shazhou well, but he also thought for a while. He remembered that Bailusha was located in the northern section of the estuary of the Yangtze River, and the coastal and far-reaching continent.
Moreover, there are shallows around, and a slightly larger ship may support the bottom. It is indeed a good place to hide from the ships.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese pirates could be found by outsiders under Zhao Hao in such a hidden place.
Chen Huaixiu said with admiration on her face: "Young master's ability is really incomparable."
"My people also saw Guo Qilin and went to the island to inform the Japanese pirates." Zhao Hao gave another even more explosive news.
"Really?" Chen Huaixiu sat up excitedly.
"Is this fake?" Zhao Hao nodded and smiled, "This is the most powerful general in our company. It is still very credible that General Wang Rulong personally investigates it."
"It's General Wang." Chen Huaixiu completely believed it. When County Magistrate Jin took office, she and the main leader of the Shachuan Gang went to Xisha to greet him. She was very impressed by the famous red-bearded anti-Japanese general.
"It's really in the dark, there's God's will!" Chen Huaixiu couldn't help but feel excited, put on her blue cloth shoes and stood up, and bowed to the window:
"The sky has eyes, the sky has eyes!"
Zhao Hao thought to himself, this young master is as fierce as a tiger, don’t just worship God.
