The Wu family's ancestral Liushen Pills were originally used to relieve pain for patients who had no medicine to treat them.
The patient himself was already beyond cure. Liushen Pills were only used to help him feel less pain in the days before his death, sleep more soundly, and be happier in his final days. The Wu family knew this, and the patient knew it too.
Therefore, for such patients, Liushen Pills cannot be considered a poison.
But gradually, in order to sell more medicine and improve the status of the Wu family, the head of the Wu family deliberately concealed the news that Liushen Pills had toxic side effects, and even prescribed Liushen Pills to patients who were just suffering from normal pain.
Compared with other prescriptions which take time to work like pulling a thread, Liushen Pills are fast-acting and have good curative effects. The effect is immediate after taking them, which immediately surpasses other prescriptions. The Wu family is a family of imperial physicians, and their reputation for bringing people back to health has spread throughout the country.
It’s not that there weren’t some people from the Wu family who advised the head of the family that if things continued like this, something bad would happen sooner or later.
The head of the Wu family didn't take it seriously and replied:
"It's a chronic disease anyway. It will take several years for it to break out. Who dares to say it's the Liushen Pills' fault? If something really happens, it can't be blamed on the Wu family."
This is true in most cases, but there are exceptions.
For example, the concubine in the Prince of Pingliang's mansion died on the spot with blood coming out of all her seven orifices after taking the Wu family's Liushen Pills.
The King of Pingliang was furious and wanted to exterminate the entire Wu family.
King Pingliang is Taizu's son and a legitimate prince. It would be a simple matter for him to destroy the Wu family. It is no easier than stepping on an ant to death.
As the head of the Wu family cried bitterly and knelt on the ground, the King of Pingliang was magnanimous and let bygones be bygones. He gave the Wu family a chance to survive, as long as the Wu family would work for him and do some insignificant things for him.
For example, he concealed the news that Empress Xie was pregnant with twins; he accidentally put some improperly processed ginkgo nuts in the medicinal diet prescribed for the healthy Empress Xie; and he recommended Liushen Pills to Empress Xie who was suffering from headaches.
The Wu family got on the pirate ship and once they were on it, they could never get off.
Back then, the head of the Wu family cried bitterly in front of Su Jiheng and begged for a way out. Now, Doctor Wu also cried bitterly in front of Su Fengyi:
"Your Majesty, it was Su Jiheng who forced me to do this. I am willing to publicly testify against Su Jiheng in front of Lord Luo and win over the Luo family for Your Majesty. I am loyal to Your Majesty, and I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and give me a way out."
At this point, you still dare to negotiate with me?
Su Fengyi was almost pissed off by him:
"You have harmed my mother, and you still dare to negotiate with me. Do you think I have to beg the Luo family to touch Su Jiheng? You are wrong. The Luo family is hoping that you will die now so that they can step down and show their loyalty to me. Doctor Wu, you said you are loyal to me, then take your life, and I will naturally believe you."
Poisoning the late queen was a crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family. Su Fengyi sentenced all male members of the Wu family who were over sixteen years old to immediate execution, which was to be carried out on the same day. The rest were exiled a thousand miles away.
As for the method of Zhan Li Jue, it is not a knife that is used, but the magical medicine produced by the Wu family, Liushen Pills.
So on that day, a strange thing happened at the Caishikou where people were supposed to be beheaded. The person in charge of the execution brought the criminal from the Luo family up, but instead of beheading him, he used medicine to treat him.
Before administering the medicine, the supervising official first introduced in detail the effects and harms of Liushen Pills from Liu'an Hall, and then read out the evidence of Doctor Luo's guilt.
Liu'an Tang has been selling Liushen Pills in the capital for many years. Many people in the crowd had taken Liushen Pills when they were sick and had seen very good results. So when many people heard the words of the executioner, they did not believe it.
Seeing the people watching the execution ground talking about it, the executioner followed the instructions and started a live broadcast to promote the products.
The supervising official began to arrange for the executioner to give Doctor Wu Liushen Pills. Doctor Wu struggled hard, crying and shouting and refused to take the pills.
The miracle doctor who sells miracle drugs is afraid to take his own drugs? !
Then there must be something wrong with this medicine!
The people at the scene were suddenly panicked. It’s all over. What should I do if I have eaten it too?
Some people still didn't give up, so they took another look. It seemed that there was no problem after Doctor Luo took the medicine.
There was indeed no problem at the beginning, but after finishing a whole bottle, Doctor Luo began to speak out from his own experience. He wailed miserably on the execution ground, kept shouting in pain, rolled around in pain, banged his head on the ground, and bled from his mouth and nose. It was a terrifying scene.
Doctor Luo was in agony for a full hour on the execution ground, howling more miserably than if he had seen a ghost. Finally, he died in boundless pain and fear, bleeding from all his seven orifices.
Even the most stubborn and argumentative people at the scene had to admit that the Luo family was so evil that they actually sold poison as a miracle drug! They deserved to die!
When one dies, the next one is brought up.
This execution was carried out from daytime to three o'clock in the morning. Almost half of the people in the capital came to watch. The curses against the Luo family from those who had taken the Liushen Pills resounded throughout the capital.
On the second day, Su Fengyi issued an edict to seal off Lu'an Hall nationwide and to issue a wanted order for the head of the Luo family in Shaanxi and Gansu.
This national scope naturally includes Xi'an.
How to let the isolated city of Xi'an under siege know this news? After passing this step to Lord Luo, Su Fengyi handed it to Pei Yu who was still in Weinan to finish the bandit suppression work.
Pei Yu received Su Fengyi's urgent decree of eight hundred miles, and then he went to General Yan and General Yang to say goodbye:
"Pei is going to Xi'an on the orders of His Majesty. The matter of the banditry will be left to the generals."
General Yan was reluctant to part with Lord Pei, because Lord Pei looked like a decent human being, but in reality, he was very evil and cruel. It would be terrible for him to be his opponent, but he liked him very much as his teammate.
Take the banditry for example. Because of Lord Pei's conspiracy, no, his brilliant strategy, eight out of ten banditry broke out into internal strife. Several times General Yan and General Yang went to suppress the bandits, but when they arrived at the scene, they saw that both sides were fighting each other!
Why bother suppressing bandits? Just wait until the fighting between the two sides is over and then pick up the ready-made ones.
General Yan was also very loyal. He did not let Lord Pei, a scholar, go alone. Instead, he personally led 500 personal soldiers to escort Lord Pei to the siege camp in Xi'an.
Lord Pei thanked General Yan and went to the city gate alone.
General Yan was terrified and quickly grabbed Master Pei:
"Master Pei, wait, wait, wait, where are you going? If you get too close, be careful that the city gates may shoot you with arrows!"
Pei Yu smiled:
"General Yan, Pei is following His Majesty's order to persuade Lord Luo to surrender. Don't worry, Lord Luo is the one who is most looking forward to Pei's coming and least wants Pei to get into trouble."
