Early the next morning, before Li Man'er had finished her breakfast, Xiao Qiniang came to see her in a panic.
"Sister Man'er, my father's leg hurts badly. Can you go over and check on him?"
Li Maner looked surprised and said: "My leg hurts? It can't be? Wasn't it fine before? Why does it hurt again? Is it an old injury or a new injury?"
"It's an old problem, the injured leg before." Xiao Qiniang said anxiously: "His pain this time is a little different from the past. You'd better go over and have a look."
Li Man'er didn't eat anymore and was very interested in Xiao Rudi's leg injury. He stood up and said, "Let's go now."
Liu Ya quickly brought the mouthwash and helped Li Man'er change clothes. Then she carried the medicine box and accompanied Li Man'er to Xiao Rudi's residence.
Xiao Rudi has been busy with government affairs these days, so he has been resting in the study room in the front yard. When walking halfway, Li Maner suddenly remembered Qi Yihan's words, saying that Xiao Qiniang also hated Xiao Rudi, but based on her current behavior
Looking up, I really can't see much.
As soon as he arrived at Xiao Rudi's residence, Li Man'er heard Xiao Rudi's suppressed voice of pain. The two doctors who treated him stood tremblingly, wondering how things could become like this.
They all applied the acupuncture according to the method taught by Miss Li. They never dared to be sloppy, and they didn't know what happened. This time something went wrong. Halfway through the acupuncture, Xiao Rudi started rolling in pain. The two of them checked for a long time.
I didn't find anything wrong, but I couldn't find the reason for Xiao Rudi's leg pain.
The two people have now been captured by Xiao Rudi's personal guards. They are waiting for Li Man'er to confirm whether they are at fault. If it is their fault, they will inevitably be beaten even if they can save their lives.
.
"Miss Li, please show our general quickly." Although Xiao Rudi is not in the camp now, the government office is owned by the Xiao family. Xiao Rudi is doing business on the surface, but secretly his hands are still very long. In the camp
Many people still only recognize him as a leader.
The person who spoke was Xiao Rudi's personal guard Gong Xiao. This person had followed Xiao Rudi for many years and could be said to be loyal. Gong Xiao saw Xiao Rudi in such pain that he wished he could take his place, but unfortunately he could do nothing.
I can't do anything, I can only do it in a hurry.
As soon as Li Man'er arrived, Gong Xiao seemed to have found a backbone and became much calmer.
"I have been following the general for many years, and I have never seen the general in such pain? Even when he was seriously injured, he never shouted a few times..."
Li Man'er stretched out her hand to interrupt him and said: "Don't say anything, wait until I feel your pulse."
Gong Xiao immediately became quiet.
Li Man'er first took out a silver needle to stun Xiao Rudi, and explained: "There is no way to keep him in pain like this. Let him sleep for a while first. If he is given painkillers, it will not be conducive to finding the cause, so wait until I find the cause.
Say it again."
Everyone expressed their understanding.
Xiao Qiniang had been standing next to Xiao Rudi, with a bit of anxiety in her eyes. She was so nervous that the handkerchief in her hand was about to be twisted into twists.
Li Man'er stretched out his hand and put it on Xiao Rudi's wrist. After a moment, he said, "Is there any residue left from the medicine the general took?"
"Yes!" Gong Xiao immediately waved his hand, and two guards brought over the dregs of medicine that Xiao Rudi had been taking recently.
Li Man'er smelled the medicine residue carefully and immediately said: "Why does this medicine smell like aconite juice? How did you two prepare the medicine for the general?"
When the two doctors heard this, they were shocked and said, "It's impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Li Man'er snorted coldly and said to Gong Xiao: "This medicine has been tampered with. If you ask someone to catch a mouse or a bird, just feed it."
Gong Xiao wished he could kill the two of them with his eyes. He gritted his teeth and ordered people to catch the mice. After a while, someone came in carrying a simple mouse cage made of branches.
Xiao Qiniang was a little afraid of the mouse, so she took two steps back.
Li Man'er picked out two pieces of medicinal materials from the dregs and said to everyone: "The grass aconite here has the strongest smell. Just put it through water and feed it to this mouse, and you will know whether my words are true or false."
."
Without being asked, the guard found a water bowl, threw the two pieces of medicinal residue into the water and took it out.
Put the water bowl in the cage, and after a while, the mouse came over and took a few sips. However, before the water was finished, the mouse suddenly let out a heart-rending cry, struggled twice, and then its belly turned over and it died.
Everyone was shocked, and Gong Xiao drew his knife directly, gritted his teeth and walked towards the two doctors, "I'll kill you."
The two doctors knelt down and begged for mercy, "It's really not us! The general has always treated us well, how could we possibly murder the general?"
"That's right. The two of us have always been responsible for the general's medicine. If something happens to the general, we will be the first to be suspected. How can we survive?"
Gong Xiao only said: "Perhaps you just want to make a dangerous move! It's better to kill by mistake than let go."
"Slow down." Li Man'er stood up, walked to Gong Xiao, and asked softly: "General, are these two people personally responsible for boiling the medicine?"
"Exactly."
Li Man'er said: "If they really took the opportunity to poison, I'm afraid the drug residue would have been cleaned up long ago. How could they leave such a big loophole for you to discover? If there is no doctor in this government office, it will be impossible."
That’s all, but I’m still here.”
Gong Xiao was also hesitating. If the two of them were killed by mistake, wouldn't the real murderer be at large and wait for an opportunity to assassinate?
"Yes, yes, Miss Li is right, we cannot dig our own graves."
"The general and I have the kindness to meet each other. We are not those ungrateful and ungrateful people."
Gong Xiao looked at Li Man'er again, "Miss Li, are you really not them?"
"The death penalty is avoidable."
This is very clear.
Although the two of them were not murderers, they did neglect their duties and allowed others to take advantage of them. Therefore, they can avoid the death penalty but cannot escape the life crime.
When the two heard this, they immediately looked at Gong Xiao, tears almost falling from their eyes.
"You two can escape the death penalty today, but you cannot escape the living crime. Each of you has thirty military sticks to set the record straight. Are you convinced?"
The two of them quickly thanked Gong Xiao for showing mercy, and apologized to Li Man'er. This was a great favor that saved their lives, and kowtowing was not an exaggeration.
Gong Xiao waved his hand, and a guard came forward, pulled the two of them outside, set up a bench, and put it on without any explanation.
If these thirty military sticks fall on a martial arts practitioner, it will at most be a skin injury. After a few days of rest and the wounds will scab, it will be fine. However, the two military doctors are both men of letters, and their bodies and bones are stronger than those of ordinary people.
, beaten with thirty army sticks, the skin was torn and the flesh was bloody.
One of them fainted on the spot.
It seems that within a month or two, the injury will not heal.
Li Man'er shook his head, "It's almost the Chinese New Year, why bother." I really can't think about it!
