[Three Kingdoms] Seven steps into wetness

At the end of July, Xuchang, which hadn't rained for a long time, had drizzled for three days, and it fell on people, making them feel indescribably oppressive and uncomfortable.

When the rain was over and the sky cleared up, the weather turned cool, and Cao Chong's illness became more and more serious.

He fell ill shortly before Cao Cao left in mid-July, and his symptoms at the beginning were no different from wind and cold.At that time, Guo Jia was seriously ill, so Hua Tuo only checked his pulse and prescribed medicine for him, but he never came.

After all, this is just a minor illness, and it will be cured after taking a few patches of medicine.

However, something unexpected happened to Cao Chong in early August.

Hua Tuo was invited to go after Cao Chong fell into a coma for the second time. He felt Cao Chong's pulse, looked at his eyelids and tongue, and only said four words: "It shouldn't be——"

Just these four words are enough to make Mrs. Huan feel anxious.

Hua Tuo was lost in thought, and after a long time he said seriously: "...it shouldn't be!"

Perhaps Hua Tuo's expression was too solemn and solemn, and Mrs. Huan trembled all over.She looked at the young man with his eyes tightly closed on the bed, unconsciously tightened the brocade handkerchief in her hand, and asked softly, "What does the genius doctor mean by that?"

Hua Tuo remained silent.

When Madam Huan was anxious, Hua Tuo suddenly said: "Madam is taking care of the young master these days?"

Mrs. Huan nodded hurriedly.

"Are you taking the medicine according to the old man's prescription?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Hua Tuo fell into deep thought again.

He watched Cao Chong's face flushed, and he could even feel his whole body convulsed and trembling, as if he was enduring great pain.

Before Hua Tuo could think of anything, the servant came in with soup and medicine.He was about to hand over the decoction to Mrs. Huan when Hua Tuo said, "Wait a minute."

The boy stopped abruptly.

Thinking that he left too hastily, some soup and medicine were spilled from the bowl that the boy was carrying, and even a little splashed on Mrs. Huan's body.Mrs. Huan was taken aback for a moment, then half angry and half sad in the next moment, she said: "You are so clumsy, how can you take care of my son? It's okay, it's okay, you just step back!"

The young man saluted hurriedly and left in a hurry.

Then Mrs. Huan saw Hua Tuo get up and pick up the medicine bowl.He first scooped it up with a spoon, then closed his eyes and sniffed lightly, and then took a sip slowly.

Then, Hua Tuo's complexion became even more ugly.

Mrs. Huan was terrified and shocked!

Although she doesn't have Bian's calculations, she is definitely not ignorant.In fact, as Cao Cao's favorite concubine, how can she be mediocre if she has been able to rise and fall in this compound for more than ten years and have given birth to three children?

But if she was mediocre, wouldn't she not even be able to protect her own children?

Her voice was almost trembling: "God, doctor, what's wrong with this medicine...?"

Hua Tuo said coldly: "The dosage of some herbs is wrong!"

Almost all doctors are familiar with the prescriptions for wind and cold.It's just that if one or two ingredients are missing, the patch will not only fail, but may even become poison.

Thinking of this, Hua Tuo trembled angrily.

——He wrote the prescription, if Cao Chong died right away, wouldn't it be his fault?

Although Mrs. Huan didn't understand what was going on, she couldn't understand Hua Tuo's appearance.She was trembling all over, and slowly lowered her head to stare at the unconscious young boy in her arms, tears streaming down her face: "Then, if I rush, can we still be saved?"

She almost exhausted all her mental energy to say the last four words.And once he said it, he stared at Hua Tuo's still calm face, as if Cao Chong would be safe and sound as long as he could see any hope from it.

Hua Tuo sighed: "I will do my best."

It was nearly sunset when Cao Zhi saw Hua Tuo, and Hua Tuo returned from Cao Chong's courtyard to his own courtyard.

Naturally, he came in the name of Guo Jia.Seeing Hua Tuo's tired face, he asked with concern, "Sir, how is sixth brother?"

Hua Tuo shook his head and sighed.

Although Cao Zhi had a premonition, seeing Hua Tuo's appearance was still tense, he guessed: "It's just a cold, how could he be so sick? Did the sixth brother have typhoid fever?"

There is only one word difference between typhoid fever and wind cold, but it is a thousand miles away.At least in Xuchang, less than a hundred people die from wind and cold every year, and at least a thousand people die from typhoid fever.

If it was really typhoid fever, even if Zhang Zhongjing, who specializes in typhoid fever, was here, it would be difficult to save.

Hua Tuo still shook his head.He put his eyes on Cao Zhi, and said after a long while: "Sixth Young Master, it is true that he was only suffering from wind and cold before, but now he is not suffering from typhoid fever."

"It's not typhoid?"

"good."

Cao Zhi frowned, wondering: "What is that?"

"Poisoned."

Cao Zhi's pupils shrunk.He could hardly understand his own voice, and asked in panic: "Sixth brother, is he poisoned?" After finishing speaking, he probably realized that his voice was too loud, so he lowered his voice and said eagerly, "How could sixth brother be poisoned?"

Hua Tuo withdrew his eyes from him, and sighed slowly: "The medicine is three-point poisonous. If we use the poison of herbs to generate and restrain each other, add some herbs to Liu Gongzi's medicine, and then reduce the dosage, it will be able to erode the eater little by little. Liver, spleen, lungs... If things go on like this, he will also fail and die."

This is a very clever thing, and only those who are familiar with medical theory can think of it.Even after death, as long as these medicines can be dropped in the chaos, how can they be discovered?

When a person lives in this world, there are always many things that can cause him to die.For example, food is incompatible, such as snakes, mice, insects and ants, and even the flowers that compete for beauty in the garden, if used in the best place, it will be fatal.

What's more, Cao Chong was young and sick, and had always been weak.If he had been ill for a long time and died, wouldn't it be an unusual, ordinary death?

—— Wouldn’t it be perfect if he could die quietly, even after his death, others would only think that he was seriously ill and died?

It's just that in front of Hua Tuo, he's playing tricks.

Cao Zhi was shocked.He seemed to lower his head to hide the shock, and muttered to himself: "Who wants the sixth brother's life?"

So, who did this?

Hua Tuo was worried all the way, so he was naturally guessing.

If a person is killed by others, it is presumed that the murderer first thinks of his enemies, or those who have made enemies with him.Excluding these people is who will benefit the most after his death.

Cao Zhi almost didn't think about it, and the word Cao Pi jumped out of his mind.He doesn't know how Cao Pi ascended to the throne of God, but the key is indeed that Cao Chong died young.

Based on his observations over the years, Cao Cao's most satisfactory successor was originally Cao Chong.

One is that Cao Chong is still young, and Cao Cao has not made up his mind to make him his son; the other is that Liu Biao has not yet returned from Cao Cao's southern expedition, so he will have enough time to destroy the evidence and lead the way of things if Cao Cao returns from Jingzhou. Hearing Cao Chong's shocking words again, it's hard to guarantee that he won't be appointed as the son under the great joy.

As for that time, it would be difficult to kill Cao Chong again.

So Cao Chong is going to die now?

No... no.

According to Hua Tuo's mind, he must have told Mrs. Huan about this, so Mrs. Huan must have taken precautions.Although the sixth brother is seriously ill and bedridden, Hua Tuo did not say that "there is no cure", and there should be a glimmer of hope.

Now that precautions have been taken, the chances of other people's murder are unintentionally reduced a lot.If it was really Cao Pi's work, all traces and clues must be covered up in a short time.When Cao Chong makes a comeback, it will be the real time of Cao Chong's death!

So, is the bento really what Cao Pi did?

Cao Zhi's eyes flickered slightly.Although he questioned himself like this, he clearly had a conclusion long ago.

He didn't believe Cao Pi.Or he really believed in Cao Pi too much, and firmly believed in his ruthlessness!

——Since ancient times, in front of the great cause, there has never been a relative!

Although Cao Zhi already knew about this, he never cared about it.Now that the matter really happened in front of his eyes, he suddenly felt unspeakable palpitations.

Cao Zhi has left.

When he left, Hua Tuo was already deep in thought looking for a way to rescue Cao Chong, but he didn't notice Cao Zhi's departure.

The sun was setting outside the door.

Half of the clouds seemed to be on fire. This kind of red color seemed to burn the entire sky, and it looked so heroic.

Cao Zhi only glanced at it, and then began to think.

He was thinking, if that person wanted to kill Cao Chong again, would there be any prelude to show that he wanted to do it?

And if he is the other party, what method will he use to solve a person?

Cao Zhi was thinking while walking.

First of all, you will not slowly grind others to death with the current method.He will choose to avoid everything that is beneficial to the other party, and it is best to kill that person instantly.Because as long as it is not a fatal blow, there is a glimmer of hope for medical treatment.Therefore, he will try his best to dismiss people with high medical skills, such as Hua Tuo; second, how to erase the clues.It is impossible for any conspiracy to be seamless, so after the attack, if you do not avoid exposing yourself, no matter whether it succeeds or not, you must erase all traces of yourself.The best thing is that at the same time, he is also within the scope of the victim, and even his life is injured but he will not die.After all, killing a person for profit, it is impossible for any idiot to choose to die together.

Third... Find a substitute for the dead ghost.

scapegoat……

After erasing all the evidence, in order to further get rid of other people's doubts, the most suitable thing is to divert their attention.Use another big thing, or another suspect.The suspect can be not directly related to the matter, but must be the common enemy of himself and the other party, or a beneficiary.

……and many more.

If Cao Chong died, Cao Pi would be seriously injured and would be in danger-couldn’t the beneficiary be him, Cao Zhi? !

Cao Zhi suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

When Guo Jia saw the young man standing outside the courtyard, he happened to see his expression at this moment.

These days he has been able to get up and walk out of the room to look around. Hua Tuo also said that he needs to move around more, so he gets up and goes out for a few steps every day.

He stared at the slightly weird and funny expression on the young man's face, and after a while he said slowly: "Fourth Young Master, is this... cheek twitching?"

Cao Zhi's left foot slipped when he stepped into the courtyard.

He quickly climbed on the door frame of the courtyard, and said weakly, "Sir, the student is actually cramping all over... Can you, can you help the student? Let, let the student sit up..."

"..."

Guo Jia was silent for a long time.

There was a little smile in his eyes, but he said calmly: "Since the fourth young master is not feeling well, it is better to order Luo An to help him, and go back to rest earlier."

Before the words fell, Cao Zhi straightened up.He even flicked his sleeves, with an indescribably gentle and elegant demeanor: "Mr. You are joking, the student is very strong, how could he feel unwell?"

"..."

Guo Jia narrowed his eyes: "Stop smoking?"

"Sir is joking."

Guo Jia paused for a while.He suddenly didn't recognize this strange thick-skinned man in front of him, and after a while he slowly uttered two words: "Hehe."

In July of the 13th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao dispatched 15 elite troops to conquer Liu Biao in the south.

At this time, Liu Biao's elite soldiers were worth 10, and Jingzhou was neglected to fight, so the soldiers were vulnerable.Hearing that Cao Cao was coming in such a powerful manner, Liu Biao was furious.

In the eighth month of autumn, Liu Biao died of illness, and Cong became the shepherd of Jingzhou.

At the end of July, Xuchang, which hadn't rained for a long time, had drizzled for three full days, and it fell on people, making them indescribably oppressive and uncomfortable.
