Chapter 2807

Zheng Gu thought about it and said, "it was too chaotic that day. When the Yamen broke in, it was just the time to rest at noon."

He said helplessly: "at that time, I was in the backyard, not in the front medical department, but I heard that they broke in and wanted to take people. At that time, I vaguely heard two doctors stop. The lower official wanted to go to the front, but standing at the small gate, I heard the Yamen pushing the patient and the patient's family members say that I used fake drugs in the medical department and killed people."

He paused for a moment, leaving adults Yu and Xia time to react. After a moment, he continued: "my intuition was wrong, so I went back, closed the small door, wrote a letter, handed over the two account books to the servant, took them away and sent them to the capital to master."

Lord Yu glanced at Zhou man and asked, "why is the account book of the medical department in the backyard?"

Zheng Gu said, "in fact, there were accounts for the whole year in my backyard study, including every purchase order."

He said: "near the new year, the medical department needs to make an inventory, and the general ledger should be reported back to the imperial medical department for review. Now it's cold, and I have little time to do these things in the daytime. I do them all at night, so I take all the books back to the study in the backyard."

The front is empty. You need to have one more basin to make a fire. Where can you have a comfortable study at home?

And there was a wall between the front and back, so Zheng Gu took things home to do "regardless of public and private".

Looking back at this time, I don't know whether it is lucky or unfortunate.

"In other words, when it happened, you didn't know where the classic medicine was?"

"Yes." After a pause, Zheng Gu said, "on that day, all four of our families, including the servants, were arrested in prison. On the second day, I found that there was no classical medicine in prison. I heard their meaning that I ran away."

This is in line with the words of Luo County Magistrate. Luo County Magistrate also said that he ran away with a classic medicine. The classic medicine was not in the house on the day of arrest. It is suspected that Zheng Gu sent him out.

Mr. Yu regained his mind and continued with the next question, "Mr. Zheng, let's talk about taking fake drugs to kill people."

Zheng Gu sighed and said, "on the third day of November, I bought another batch of medicinal materials and put them into storage after checking them. Since the beginning of winter, the number of sick people has increased due to the cold weather, and people from other counties have come to ask for medicine, but such patients are a minority after all. "

He said: "although the medical department is located in Luoyang, it is the medical department of Luozhou. You also have responsibilities for the other eight counties. Therefore, I take medicinal materials to other counties for free clinic of poor and cold people every once in a while."

"I remember the five patients, three of whom were tenants outside Luoyang, and two of whom were long-term workers in the east of the city. Their families are not rich, "Zheng Gu said." several of their children fell ill one after another in October. They are all cold caused by lack of diet and physical deficiency. Because they seek medical treatment many times and have a large population, so I remember. "

Zheng Gu said it in detail, more detailed than what was recorded in the file. At least adults Yu and Xia didn't know that he had treated their children.

Zheng Gu continued: "by November, it's about the middle of the year. The elderly in their family may have been infected with wind chill because of the cold weather, physical weakness and patients at home. I showed them that they could get a needle. Only the Mu family and the Huang family, because they were sick and they didn't want to get a needle, only took the medicine. "

Zheng Gu said there was still some remorse and said, "when I prescribed medicine, I always prescribed three pairs of medicine, one a day. When I prescribed medicine, I went out to other counties. When I came back, they came to see me again. Their condition did not improve, but became more and more serious. I touched their pulse and felt that the cold was more serious. At that time, I suspected that their home environment was bad, so I couldn't keep warm, or for other reasons, That's why they got worse. I gave them three more doses of medicine. "

Zheng Gu paused and lowered his voice, "but they haven't finished their medicine yet. They all came to the door two days later. They said that the old man at home was too ill to get out of bed. Please let me have a look. I'm just going. "

"When I got to the place, their family was really poor, but the old man's bedding was barely warm. Taking medicine would not worsen like this. I felt their pulse, but it didn't look like I had taken symptomatic medicine. Instead, it looked like I had taken cold medicine. That's why I wanted to check the drug residue and the medicine they caught."

Zheng Gu waited for a while before he said, "the Schizonepeta tenuifolia in the medicine has been replaced with mint, and poria cocos has become Pueraria."

Adult Yu asked if he didn't understand. He directly asked the opposite Zhou man, "is it very serious?"

Zhou Manxi said, "Jing mustard can relieve the surface and dispel the wind, while peppermint can disperse the wind heat and clear the leader. It is cool and refreshing."

She said: "Schizonepeta tenuifolia, mint and Su stem are similar in shape. If he changes to Su stem, it's just that if he changes to mint, the medicine is just different."

I haven't heard of using mint to treat wind chill, but

Zhou man frowned slightly. "Although both Schizonepeta tenuifolia and mint smell fragrant, the fragrance is also different. They cover up the taste of mint?"

Otherwise, how could the medicine boy who filled the medicine not see it?

Zheng Gu nodded. "They smoked with sulfur, and the taste was much lighter. If they didn't smell it carefully, the taste was similar to that of Schizonepeta tenuifolia."

As for Poria cocos and pueraria, it's more like the man who has been handling herbs in the medicine shop for many years. Sometimes he will be fooled.

If someone makes them more like them, they won't be able to distinguish them.

Lord Yu asked, "and then?"

Zheng Gu took a deep breath in his airway: "five patients, after I changed my dressing and acupuncture, three survived, and two... They were too ill, and the medicine stone was invalid."

He said: "I knew there was a problem in the pharmacy, so I went back to check it. I found out the fake drugs. I checked it. If I was wrong, it must be the batch of medicinal materials on October 15."

"Why not the third of November?" Isn't the latest batch of medicinal materials the third day of November?

"Because those medicinal materials are basically used in other counties. I checked and found that they are OK.

Zheng Gu doesn't take many people to other counties. Usually, he is both a doctor and a medicine boy. After the medicine in his hand, he is sure there will be no fake.

But this group in the medical department

Because there are not only two doctors in the medical department, but also classical medicine, and five medicine boy apprentices to help. He can't be used to fill medicine.

"What did you find out?"

Zheng Gu said solemnly, "I'm sure I won't mistake Schizonepeta tenuifolia and poria cocos, so I didn't buy these fake drugs, someone must have taken them in and replaced them."

"The amount of fake drugs we found out was not much. They were sealed in the pharmacy at that time. The fake Schizonepeta tenuifolia was only 15 kg and 62 Liang, and the fake Poria cocos was only 28 kg and 92 Liang."

"Could it be that you made a mistake in filling medicine in the pharmacy, when you made peppermint as Schizonepeta tenuifolia, and when you made pueraria root as Poria cocos?"
