In this way, four months later, Liu Tong died of pea sores (smallpox).
Died of illness. Logically speaking, from the perspective of the current world, this means that things are impermanent and life is bad.
The funeral can be held directly in the Duke's Mansion, and it is a white-haired person to send a black-haired person to die of illness. According to the rules, the funeral is just at home for three days, and then it will be sent to a charity outside the city. The village was burned to prevent infectious diseases.
If this is the case, nothing will happen to Li Sanniang.
However, even if Liu Tong's mother-in-law died early, there were still a few loyal servants left in the Duke of Chongqing's mansion.
These loyal servants didn't know whether they came up with it themselves or got the idea from someone, but they actually went to beat the Dengwen drum outside the Yingtian Gate of the imperial city!
The Dengwen Drum existed during the reign of Emperor Gaozong (Li Zhi). Not only was this measure not abolished after Emperor Wu ascended the throne, Emperor Wu even issued a special edict on this matter: "The imperial court The drums and lung stones placed in the hall do not need to be defended. If there are zhuā (polyphonetic characters, meaning to beat or catch), the drums and stones will be ordered to be heard by the censor. "
(Fei) Stone: A red stone placed outside the imperial court in ancient times. The stone was shaped like a lung, so it was called a grievance drum. > As soon as the drum sounded, the censor took the case and found that it was the Duke of Chongqing's housework, so he immediately handed the case over to Dali Temple.
According to what the loyal servant said, Liu Tong, the eldest son of their family, was in good health. He was able to return to Chang'an with his beard and tail intact even after traveling deep into the Western Regions for three years. How could he die after being vaccinated with cowpox? ?
"This must have been poisoned by that scoundrel!
Our prince died unjustly, the prince died unjustly!
Please all the gentlemen, please return our prince's death. Innocence!
Our prince was assassinated!”
Liu Qi’s face turned dark when he heard what the loyal servant said. He had already planned Liu Tong’s funeral. He couldn't get a good rest, and his face turned blue and ugly. Now his complexion was really black, and his eyes were terrifying.
The feud between Liu Tong and Liu Chao of the Duke of Chongqing is known to everyone in Chang'an City who should know it, even if it has been three years.
Liu Qi stroked his forehead and thought: "Does this mean that Da Lang (Liu Tong) was killed by Wu Lang (Liu Chao)?
Wu Lang, the incompetent one, still Can you have such a method?"
What Liu Qi was thinking could not be expressed on his face. He stood up with a sullen face and said to Di Renjie who was sitting above him: "Since you say so. Yes, I believe that Dali Temple will get to the bottom of this matter.
In this case, Mr. Lao Di, please speak up if you need anything."
Dali Temple took over the case, and had already begun to examine Liu Tong's body. Lao Bai, the Tong Zuo of Dali Temple, said this to Di Renjie who came to inquire: "Shaoqing, the skin of Liu Tong's cheeks, arms, and confidants There were varying degrees of skin damage, but judging from the situation, the scabs were shrinking and were about to heal.
However, I cut open his body and saw that his internal organs were bleeding, as if he was getting sick. If you have a high fever, you must ask a doctor for details. This is also the first time for me to see the body of a smallpox patient, so I am really not sure about this."
Di Renjie used a white cloth towel. Lao Bai covered his mouth and nose and looked at Lao Bai, who was wearing a cloth scarf on his head and a white cloth scarf hanging from his ears. He was wearing white clothes and his hands were wearing special fish skin gloves. He was pulling Liu Tong's body and explaining to him. He said: "Besides this, are there any other findings?"
"Please see, Mr. Shaoqing, I examined this body very carefully. I found that there was a vague hematoma on the lower part of the back of Liu Tong's head. I’m just not sure if it was caused by a heavy object or an accident.
If Shaoqing allows me to open my head, I can determine the cause. ”
Afterwards, Di Renjie signed a document for Lao Bai, allowed Lao Bai to perform a craniotomy, and then asked Su Qi to inquire about the physical manifestations of smallpox patients with familiar doctors in Dali Temple.
The person who was familiar with Dali Temple was actually the Imperial Medical Office. Doctor Ning, who was in charge of the connection, did not know whether it was intentional or intentional, but he pushed the matter to Li Sanniang.
“There has always been no cure for this pea sore. Those who are lucky will get over it, and those who are not lucky are just God’s will.
Now, Dr. Li can work with the bad guy to bring up this cowpox I think she should know more about this.
How about asking Dr. Li?
Medical Supervisor Li is also a female official in my Imperial Medical Office. She has the responsibility to answer questions for her colleagues. Isn’t it just right? ”
Thus, Li Sanniang was related to the death case of the Liu family of the Chongqing Kingdom.
Afterwards, Li Sanniang and Lao Bai, the widower of Dali Temple, jointly conducted an autopsy, which took half a month. He spent time looking for three pigs for experiments, and finally came to the conclusion: "After Liu Tong returned to Chang'an from the Western Regions, he followed the notice issued by the Imperial Medical Office and went to the Imperial Medical Office for cowpox vaccination in Chang'an two months later. Click to get vaccinated against cowpox.
The weakly virulent cowpox did only cause the healthy Liu Tong to have a slight fever and a rash.
But when he was at his weakest, someone deliberately infected him with variola!
This is no less than pouring a spoonful of oil on a fire that is about to be extinguished, directly putting the already fragile Liu Tong on the verge of death. "
After Li Sanniang finished speaking, Lao Bai continued: "As Dr. Li said, we used three pigs to imitate the different situations of Liu's vaccination with cowpox.
One is vaccinated with cowpox only;
One is vaccinated with cowpox immediately and then vaccinated with variola;
One is vaccinated with variola only.
Based on the condition of the pig's body, and then cutting open the pig's belly to see the internal organs, it was basically certain that Liu Tongnai had been poisoned. Someone took advantage of his weak body and deliberately infected him with the highly toxic human pox. , wanting to kill him. "
"Old Bai, what about the hematoma on the back of Liu Tong's head? "
"Shaoqing, after an incision, it was found that the hematoma was caused by the force exerted by a hard but small object at a fixed point, and it should be man-made. ”
After confirming that Liu Tong had indeed died at the hands of others and not simply because he had not survived the pox poison, Liu Chaozhou was questioned by Dali Temple.
Even if Liu Chao was pretending How could Di Renjie, who was calm enough and had interrogated many cases, not see what Liu Chao was trying to hide?
Li Sanniang was busy with the Dali Temple case and didn't take it seriously. After all, it was Dali Temple, the highest court of the Tang Dynasty. Even if you were a prince or a nobleman and broke the law, Dali Temple could also sentence you. Therefore, Li Sanniang only asked Song Fuling to remind her that she would go to court to testify about this matter with Lao Bai, and then went to work in the obstetrics and gynecology hall and promote civilian medicine.
How could she have imagined that as the New Year was approaching and New Year's Eve would be celebrated in a few days, she would be assassinated by a dead soldier on the street!
In Dali Temple, Li Sanniang told the whole story in detail in front of Wang Lingshi of the Ministry of Justice, Jin Wuwei, Di Renjie and other Dali Temple officials.
“.That’s it.
Di Shaoqing, this is a case that concerns me.
Anyone who has a grudge against me, what I can say is that Wei Hua, the second son of the Wei family, said earlier that as long as I take over the job of treating the Xiao family’s young general, I will I can't survive in Chang'an City.
Also, I am working with the Chang'an Pharmaceutical Alliance to develop patent medicines for civilians, which will definitely damage the interests of those big pharmaceutical companies. Some of them may not want me to continue to live.
" Li Sanniang, who lowered her head, raised her head again and looked at Di Renjie, who was above her. "That's probably all. I can't think of anything else. I have to ask Dali Temple for a detailed investigation. ”
After bowing to Di Renjie, Li Sanniang stopped saying anything.
