After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Sikong Tong summoned Dr. Liu and once again confirmed his willingness to stay on temporarily. He was even more curious about how Ying Shu persuaded this upright medical officer who wanted to go.

In fact, most of the medical officers at the Imperial Hospital were Sikong Tong's former relatives when he was living in Qian's residence. These medical officers in the county prince's palace were not appointed by the emperor when the Xiyu Dynasty was still alive. Sikong Tong went to Fan Langya County at that time. In fact, With only eight hundred palace guards, the princess Yu's family is not from a noble family, but belongs to a poor family of the common people. However, "poor family" refers to "poor" in political career. Among the Yu family's people, There were no officials who could "produce" goods, so the land and soldiers they owned were very limited. However, they could still provide financial and manpower support to Sikong Tong. The Yu family had a group of soldiers who were quite brave in fighting, with three hundred soldiers. All the elites gave up to become their daughter's "dowry", and they also used their family's local connections to recruit a group of counselors and subordinate officials for Sikong Tong, the seemingly down-and-out prince.

Only Imperial Physician Liu was not a subordinate official recruited by the Yu family. When Sikong Tong was still worried about "taking sides" in Langya County, Imperial Physician Liu was a well-known disease doctor in Jiankang City. He was truly poor. Due to luck and chance, he studied under a disease doctor, and because of his outstanding talent, he was better than his master. When Sikong Tong accepted Wang Lan's suggestion and traveled south to Jiankang, he happened to hear that Dr. Liu performed a caesarean section to "retrieve a child." In the story, a pregnant woman died of illness before giving birth, and she was about to die. However, Dr. Liu took out the fetus from the deceased's belly, preventing the baby from being stillborn. Sikong Tong had never heard of such a "miracle", so he personally He persuaded Imperial Physician Liu to serve him.

Sikong Tong had so much trust in Imperial Physician Liu that when the Great Yu Kingdom was reestablished, he would tempt any Imperial Physician Liu to be the chief of the Imperial Medical Office. However, Imperial Physician Liu was quite withdrawn and thought it was difficult to "convince the public". After repeatedly declining the position of imperial physician, Sikong Tong had no choice but to give up.

In the evening of that day, as soon as Ying Shu and Nan Ci finished drinking the fruit mash, they were personally invited to the Qianyang Hall by Zhang Yong, the official of Zhongchang.

The two palace gardens of Qianyang and Zhaoyang in Jiankang Palace were the places Yingshu was most familiar with. When she was occasionally summoned to the palace for a short stay, although she was always summoned by Mrs. Xie, Sikong Tong knew that Yingshu After entering the palace, he would let this eccentric little girl play in his Qianyang Palace. When Sikong Tong first met Wang Lan, Wang Dao was still a teenager. Although he was pampered by his biological mother and became a treasure, due to his talent, He was extraordinary, had a good family background, and had an extremely unbridled literary talent. At that time, Sikong Tong had no ambition to become emperor. His plan for life was just to be wise and protect himself, so he envied famous celebrities. In his opinion, Wang Dao would become a famous celebrity in the future, although He is much older than Wang Dao, but he regards Wang Dao as a "role model".

His feelings for Yingshu are very similar to those of Aiwujiwu.

Especially after becoming the emperor, it was inconvenient for Sikong Tong to specially summon Wang Dao to inquire about the interesting life stories of the "model". This seemed to be too curious and unseemly for a king of a country. Instead, he guided Yingshu, a young girl with yellow hair, to chatter. When His Majesty the Emperor listened to his parents talking about their daily interests, he suddenly felt that his boring life became more vivid.

But today, the emperor did not want to listen to the inner joy of Wangdao and Lu, the immortal couple. He was still quite ashamed. The little girl could obviously live a carefree life outside the palace. He was the one who "went along with the flow." ", forcefully forced the "model"'s apple into the palace. If he continues to seduce Yingshu to talk about life outside the palace, wouldn't this be a knife in his heart? It's too unkind. If the little girl is What should he do if he is so angry that he cries?

"Don't salute, don't salute, just sit still." Sikong Tong not only refused to let Yingshu salute, but also pointed to a rope bed for Yingshu to sit comfortably with her feet down.

The eunuchs had already filled the high-leg table with fresh fruits and cakes. Sikong Tong was a very kind elder. He didn’t care at all that Ying Shu was eating and drinking while responding to the emperor: “I have delayed you by calling you to the Qianyang Palace at this time. For dinner, first use some fruit cake to pad your stomach."

Although the emperor is the king of a country, he is not so free to move. Especially Sikong Tong is a self-disciplined emperor. If he is serving a meal in the Qianyang Palace, he will have to be surrounded by many ladies and ministers, especially when he summons someone to accompany him. During the meal, female officials and ministers should also record their words and deeds. Si Kongtong himself was used to these complex etiquette restrictions, but Ying Shu was not used to it. Si Kongtong deeply believed that Ying Shu would be better off eating in Zhaoyang Palace than in Gan Yangdian eats more comfortably. The little girl can eat well only when she is free, and only when she is full can she grow taller.

Seeing Yingshu eating a piece of fragrant jujube cake, Sikong Tong asked: "Tell me, why did Dr. Liu neglect to be a medical officer instead of working as a widow among the people?"

In Dayu, although everyone is inseparable from disease doctors, the status of disease doctors has never been high. Even if they become medical officers in the Imperial Medical Office and become the best among disease doctors, their status still cannot be achieved. Compared with other imperial officials, it is even less likely that Wu Zuo will have social status, and he will even be directly classified as a "low-level industry".

"Abo should know that Doctor Liu's daughter died due to murder. At that time, Abo had not yet proclaimed himself emperor and could not help Doctor Liu find out the murderer of his daughter. Although Doctor Liu would not complain about Abo, in his heart But he was very ashamed. It was only from that time that Imperial Physician Liu paid attention to the cause of death.

Many years have passed since the incident, although Imperial Physician Liu also understands that the chance of investigating the case and arresting the murderer is slim, Imperial Physician Liu still cannot let go. Nowadays, it is difficult to find out the truth of many murder cases in the private sector, even in the palace, and the evil ghost case The real culprits are still continuing to do evil. Imperial Physician Liu is very sympathetic to those who were killed. Although he knows that his personal power is very little, if he can practice it over the years, Imperial Physician Liu's painstaking writing of "The Record of Eunuchs" will indeed help to find the murderer. , which can somewhat reduce the probability of homicide. "

"Then how did you persuade Imperial Physician Liu to give up his ambition and agree to stay in the Imperial Medical Office?"

"I didn't persuade Imperial Physician Liu to give up his ambition, but now that the evil ghost case has not been solved, Imperial Physician Liu's knowledge of ghost experiments will help to find the murderer. In turn, it can also verify that Imperial Physician Liu's knowledge is indeed effective to a certain extent. Imperial Physician Liu's talent He is willing to help investigate the murder. Qi'er also told Imperial Physician Liu that if Imperial Physician Liu can pass on his experience and knowledge to his son, his son may be able to convince Abo, and Abo can order the Tingwei Office to compile the "Inspection and Examination Records" written by Imperial Physician Liu. "Isn't it much more powerful than an individual's power to print and promote it and ask local officials to learn from it, which will be more beneficial to Imperial Doctor Liu's realization of his ambitions."

Si Kongtong's puzzled questions were clearly explained by Yingshu's words. Si Kongtong thought about it again. Isn't it the cause and effect that makes sense?

The reason why he couldn't figure it out was that he ignored the regrets in Dr. Liu's heart. He almost forgot the reason why Dr. Liu's daughter died in infancy, so he didn't understand why Dr. Liu was a good doctor and had to be a widower.

"Di Xiu, how did you know about the regrets in Imperial Physician Liu's heart?"

"Abo, don't you know the little palace servant who is under the care of Imperial Physician Liu?"

"Rui'er? She fell in love with Imperial Physician Liu because she resembles Imperial Physician Liu's daughter who died in infancy."

"Rui'er has received the care of Imperial Doctor Liu, and she also knows how to reciprocate kindness, so she begged her to help Imperial Physician Liu and persuade Abern to allow Imperial Physician Liu to pursue a career. In order to convince me, Rui'er naturally put forward Imperial Physician Liu's ideas. After putting it all together, I learned so many things.”

Sikong Tong sighed. The emperor was so busy that he even knew that Imperial Doctor Liu cared so much about Rui'er that he forgot to transfer Rui'er to Qianyang Palace. Even if Rui'er planned to intercede for Imperial Physician Liu himself, she No one in the palace had the opportunity to directly ask for an audience with the emperor. Moreover, in the eyes of the palace people, His Majesty the Emperor must be aloof and unfathomable, unless he is a palace servant in Qianyang Palace who has been in charge for many years and is familiar with him. The emperor was actually very kind-hearted, otherwise he would not have dared to disturb the Holy Master.

"Dixiu thinks that Imperial Physician Liu's understanding of the deceased's experience will really help in finding the murderer?"

Yingshu nodded sincerely. She felt that Liu Taiyi's expertise must be reported seriously to Emperor Abo. This matter was so big that it related to the truth of countless murder cases and whether countless murderers could pay with their lives. It is related to justice for those who were murdered, and whether those innocent people who may not have committed the crime but were wrongly convicted can be redressed... Doctor Liu's ambition is a big undertaking.

"Uncle, Doctor Liu has read the records of many evil ghost cases and indeed found some new evidence. In the second year of Jianxing, the evil ghost case was first reported. The deceased was strangled to death by the murderer. This is the conclusion made by the internal punishment department. , according to the records, the murderer's finger marks were left on the neck of the deceased, and the nails of the deceased were chipped and the fingertips were injured, indicating that the deceased struggled when the murderer committed the attack. Doctor Liu also recognized that the deceased was indeed strangled to death, which was different from that of strangulation. In the subsequent murders, the deceased was killed with a knife.

Imperial Physician Liu examined the records in detail and concluded that the murderer's dominant hand was his left hand. Therefore, the finger marks left on the right side of the deceased's neck were more obvious than those on the left side of the neck. The finger marks on the broken neck bone also matched the murderer's left thumb.

But in the subsequent murders, including the recent death of Zhang Xian, based on the details of the wounds recorded in the book, Doctor Liu concluded that the murderer held the knife in his right hand. "

Sikong Tong understood Ying Shu's explanation and raised his eyebrows high: "So, the first murder case and the subsequent murders are not the same murderer?"

"The Imperial Physician Liu indeed thinks so. According to the Internal Criminal Division, although the first deceased was strangled to death and the subsequent deceased were killed with a blade, it is not certain that the murderer is not the same person. The murderer is most likely to be the first one." After the murder, the method of committing the crime changed. However, the method of committing the crime may change. A left-handed person is unlikely to switch to the right hand to commit the crime. This detail discovered by Dr. Liu thought it could prove that the murderer of the first murder was not the same as the murderer of the subsequent ones. same person."

"But the first deceased also died at night. Later, the Criminal Division found out that the deceased disappeared at night, so he must have been killed at night, not to mention that the deceased's eyes and tongue were cut out. If the murderer was not the same person, why? After committing a murder, do you have to imitate the previous murderer and cut out the eyes and tongue of the deceased?"

Regarding this doubt, Ying Shu did not figure it out.

"Uncle, I wonder if there are detailed records of murder cases reported by local officials in the palace?" Ying Shu asked.

"Of course it's archived."

"Well, I don't know..."

"If you want to read it, you can read it at any time. Didn't I already give Nanci the token? As long as Nanci is with you, you can go to the Imperial Court Office to read the old files."

"Abo Zhen, Nanci and his son only have the authority to investigate the evil ghost cases that occurred in the inner court, but they do not have the authority to review the murder cases reported by the local government offices. Even if Nanci is a prince, he cannot deter the officials of the imperial office. "

Sikong Tong slapped his forehead: "I took it for granted again, but why do you want to access the detailed records of local murder cases?"

"I have no experience in investigating murders before, and I don't understand the murderer's mentality, why he kills people, and why he abuses the body of the deceased after killing. He thought, there are more murders in local prefectures and counties than in the palace, so he I want to learn more about it through bookkeeping.”

Sikong Tong:……

He gave birth to so many sons, but none of them were as studious as Yingshu! ! !
