Chapter 526: Let Brother Shan continue to maintain his image as a gentleman and scholar
The imperial physician nodded and said, "I can only say it's possible. As for whether Mr. Sun will have difficulty in moving after all the toxins are excreted, I can't say for sure."
The imperial physician looked at the sky outside the window with a sad look on his face, and said with a sigh, "It all depends on God's arrangement."
Oh my God, it's God again.
Sun Shan couldn't help drooling again, and Gui Ge'er immediately stepped forward to wipe it.
I thought to myself that Shan Ge usually paid great attention to his image, and now his miserable appearance was seen by so many scholars, he must be very sad.
Especially the strange appearance of drooling must be killed in time.
Gui Ge'er saw that Sun Shan was drooling, so he immediately went forward and wiped it, leaving the scholar unable to react and looking at him.
Let Shan Ge continue to maintain the image of a gentleman scholar.
When He Shujun heard that Sun Shan might really walk with a limp in the future, his heart instantly turned cold.
What should his sister Yun do? Should she marry him or not?
The He family regards the "Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues" as the rules and would not do anything like breaking off an engagement.
Once engaged and betrothed, she will become someone else's wife. Even if her fiancé dies, she will have to marry him and be a "living widow", or stay at home and be a "widow in waiting".
Besides, Sun Shan is just unable to move around easily, and it is even more impossible for Yunmei to break off the engagement.
Whether Yunmei wants to get married or not, she has to get married.
He Shujun looked at Sun Shan with sympathy, and felt even more sympathetic towards his cousin back home.
After the imperial physician finished speaking, the air suddenly became quiet. No one spoke a word, and no one knew what to say for a while.
The imperial physician continued to diagnose Sun Shan, probing with a silver needle for a long time before confirming, "No need for acupuncture now. Let's get rid of the toxins first."
So he prescribed some more medicine for Sun Shan to take, mainly some emetics and diarrhea medicines, so that Sun Shan could continue to vomit and have diarrhea to expel the toxins from his body.
The imperial physician also said that after the toxins were expelled, if there was any discomfort in the hands, feet or body, he could be consulted for acupuncture.
Chen Dongling arranged for Steward Chen to send it out respectfully, and then took Sun Dingnan to get the medicine.
Chen Dongling sighed again. He didn’t know how many times he had sighed today.
With pity and sadness, he said, "Brother Sun, don't think about anything. Just treat your illness well. You will definitely get better. The imperial physician just said that if you are poisoned by porcupine, you will die within a narrow margin. You are one of the survivors, which is very lucky. It shows that you are lucky. After the poison is discharged, you will definitely get better."
Sun Shan looked at Chen Dongling, blinked, and then: "Woo woo~~Woo woo~~"
Chen Dongling had no idea what Sun Shan was talking about, so he could only tell him to keep quiet, not to think too much, and to take care of himself.
Sun Shan wanted to say thank you, but what came out was “Woo woo~~”
I had to use all my strength to hum it out, but after thinking it over, I decided not to talk anymore.
Anyway, he just keeps whining and whining and no one knows what he is saying.
Chen Dongling and He Shujun told Sun Shan that they were going to the government office to take a look and would visit him again when they came back, and then they left.
Lu Yuming and his team had been gone for the whole morning and had not returned yet. Chen Dongling and He Shujun were worried and wanted to know the whole story, so they went to the government office to inquire about the news.
As for whether I was worried about Lu Yuming getting into trouble, to be honest, I wasn't worried at all.
After all, they are also juren and have connections in the court. Even if they are in other places, they are not afraid of anything happening.
After Sun Dingnan got the medicine back, he boiled it again for Sun Shan to drink.
The imperial physician is the imperial physician. After Sun Shan drank it, he vomited and had diarrhea.
As for the fact that he couldn't move his whole body and had to vomit and defecate, it was an indescribable process.
Not only Sun Shan was in a mess, but Gui Ge'er, Sun Dali, and Sun Dingnan were also in a mess.
Fortunately, they were country people, hardworking and willing to work hard, and they would serve Sun Shan well no matter how dirty he was.
Sun Shan thought that when he returned, he would triple their wages and take them to ascend to heaven.
A friend in need is a friend indeed. Clan members are the ones you can rely on, and nepotism is the right thing to do.
In the evening, when it was almost dark, Lu Yuming and others came back.
They came over one by one to visit Sun Shan, and were shocked to see that his face was pale.
If Chen Dongling and He Shujun had not insisted that Sun Shan would not die, they would have sincerely believed that Sun Shan was about to die.
Sun Shan blinked and saw that Lu Yuming and his group were exhausted.
It seemed that not only he suffered, but they suffered too.
Well, that's true. When their companions come out for such a thing, they can't help but feel scared.
The scene of Sun Shan being poisoned was so thrilling that they will surely never forget it.
Death is too close to us all.
Lu Yuming looked at Sun Shan with pity and said, "Brother Sun, can you hear what I said clearly? If you can, blink twice."
Sun Shan blinked twice.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they were all clear-headed and it was great that they didn't become fools.
Lu Yuming continued, "Brother Sun, the government took your poisoning very seriously and immediately arrested the inn's cook, waiter, and shopkeeper. After interrogation, they all said they had no grudge against you and that your poisoning was an accident and they didn't want it to happen."
After a pause, he asked, "Sun Shan, you didn't know the people in the inn before, right? If you don't know them, just blink twice."
Sun Shan blinked twice.
How could he know the people in the inn?
This was my first time in Jinling. After arriving in Jinling, I stayed in the team all day and had no contact with anyone in the inn.
Eating and sleeping are all arranged by the Chen family.
Sun Shan was absolutely sure that he had not offended anyone in the inn.
Lu Yuming nodded and said, "We think so too, and we also think that the inn had no intention of poisoning you. This could really be an accident. The cook said that when he was killing the puffer fish, he went out to the toilet, and then came back and forgot to wash the knife and went to kill the crucian carp.
In fact, he didn't know whether he washed it or not. The cook was so scared that he said all kinds of things.
It is also said that some of the things cleaned from the porpoise can be thrown into the crucian carp.
Pig fish is poisonous, so we are very careful, but crucian carp is not poisonous, so we don’t pay much attention to it.”
At this point, Lu Yuming couldn't help but sighed: "Brother Sun, the government also tends to agree with the cook's statement and believes that this was an accident. People in Jinling like to eat pig fish, and many people have died of poisoning, but your situation today has never happened. The government is now listening to your opinion on how to deal with it."
Sun Shan was stunned. What was his opinion?
Can't we just handle it according to the laws of Daqian?
Can we discuss how to deal with this?
Chen Dongling continued Lu Yuming's words and said, "The cook will definitely be charged with manslaughter. As for how to sentence him, it all depends on Brother Sun's opinion. As for the shopkeeper and the waiter, are they guilty of joint crime or not? It also depends on how Brother Sun wants to deal with them. And the owner of the inn is definitely guilty as well. But this crime can be serious or minor, and Brother Sun's opinion is very important."
After a pause, Chen Dongling added: "The inn we are staying in is owned by the Xu family, the Jinling Xu family!"
The Xu family of Jinling is very famous. They have built the empire together with the current emperor and are deeply loved by the emperor. They are the number one family in Jinling.
Sun Shan understood what Chen Dongling meant.
It is nothing more than wanting civil compensation instead of criminal punishment.
The laws of Daqian are very broad, it all depends on the parties involved and how the government operates.
No matter how it operates, it can be rounded up. It won't be rigid and it's very flexible.
