The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

Chapter 538 A chill on the back

Understand, Jing Zhaoyin wants to expand his influence by holding a court trial and let more people know that Mingche Medical Clinic is not so easy to mess with.

She had never given gifts to Jing Zhaoyin, let alone had a close friendship, but he had given such thoughtful consideration to Mingche Medical Center. Ye Yuxiao was filled with gratitude and immediately thanked him: "You are still wise and considerate so thoughtfully."

"Mrs. Ning Hui is too polite." Jing Zhaoyin said, "I would also like to ask Mrs. Ning Hui to lend me a table and the four treasures of the study so that I can register them."

Ye Yuxiao happily complied.

The subordinate officials accompanying Jing Zhaoyin sat behind the table and ordered the troublemakers to line up and register their names and residences one by one.

Even if the medical incident was temporarily settled, Jing Zhaoyin stood up, cupped his hands towards Ye Yuxiao, nodded to Gu Changping, and prepared to leave.

Ye Yuxiao hurriedly shouted: "Sir, stay!"

Jing Zhaoyin turned around and said, "What else does Mrs. Ning Hui want?"

Ye Yuxiao said: "I want to tell you the reason why they came to make trouble."

Jing Zhaoyin said: "Madam, there is no need to worry. It will not be too late to ask the reason when I open the court for trial."

"Originally I wasn't in a hurry, but this matter is so weird, so I want to tell the adults about it, and also ask the adults to help me think of some ideas. Otherwise, if we let the situation develop, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous." Ye Yuxiao said with a solemn expression. .

"Something weird?" Jingzhao Yin said, Ye Yuxiao is a lady who has seen the world and is unlikely to be alarmist, and her expression became serious, "What's weird? Mrs. Ning Hui, please tell me."

Ye Yuxiao started talking from yesterday and told the story exactly. She pointed to the group of patients beside the hospital wall and said, "These are the patients who went to Mingche Medical Center for treatment of diarrhea yesterday. They have taken antidiarrheal medicine, but they have not improved even now."

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and pointed to Ping'an Lane behind her: "I only found out today that not only Mingche Medical Clinic, but also other medical clinics are in the same situation. Countless people are suffering from diarrhea at the same time, and they have taken antibiotics." Even laxatives don’t work.”

A large number of people are sick at the same time and the medicine is ineffective? Isn’t that almost like a plague? Jing Zhaoyin was suddenly startled and straightened his back: "I didn't know about such an important matter. This is my dereliction of duty."

Ye Yuxiao comforted him and said: "I don't blame you, sir. Yesterday I saw so many diarrhea patients pouring into Mingche Medical Center. I didn't think much about it. I thought it was just ordinary diarrhea and that it would be cured by taking some antidiarrheal medicine. Until today. , the antidiarrheal medicine was ineffective, and all the patients got worse, and I realized the seriousness of the matter."

Everyone probably thought so, so even though there were many people sick, no one went to the government to report the case.

Jing Zhaoyin walked back and forth in front of the group of patients and asked Ye Yuxiao, "Mrs. Ning Hui, are you sure they are suffering from diarrhea?"

Ye Yuxiao said: "Dr. Kong, Dr. Xue, and Dr. Dai have all checked their pulses yesterday and today. Everyone agreed that this was just ordinary diarrhea and no other symptoms were found. Of course, maybe other medical clinics have The doctor has discovered something else, and it’s up to the adults to investigate.”

Another medical center? Isn't Jishi Tang just behind Mingche Medical Center? Because Xue Jingyu, the former owner of Jishi Hall, had a lawsuit with Ye Yuxiao, Jing Zhaoyin knew the situation in this area very well, and immediately ordered the accompanying Yamen: "Go to Jishi Hall and call their doctor."

At this time, the situation in Jishi Hall was much worse than that of Mingche Medical Center. The family members of the patients who caused trouble had been vandalizing the medical center for a long time. Several doctors and apprentices were hiding, and they did not even dare to show their faces.

The yamen led the people over, and then they took control of the situation. They called Cai Jie out of the house and brought him to the gate of Mingche Medical Center.

Cai Jie seemed to have been beaten. His clothes were torn, his face was scratched, and even his hair seemed to have been scattered and combed hastily. It was the first time he saw Jing Zhaoyin. After being reminded by the Yamen servant, he stepped forward to salute him.

Jing Zhaoyin asked him: "Are you the doctor of Jishi Hall?"

Cai Jie replied: "Yes, I opened Jishi Hall."

Jing Zhaoyin asked again: "I heard that Jishitang also received many diarrhea patients?"

"Yes." Cai Jie nodded, "They came to Jishi Hall for consultation yesterday, bought medicine and took it back, but it didn't work, so they came to make trouble."

The situation is indeed the same as that of Mingche Medical Clinic. Jing Zhaoyin continued to ask: "Are you sure they are suffering from just ordinary diarrhea?"

"Of course it is certain." Cai Jie said, "My family has been practicing medicine for generations, and it is quite famous in Jizhou. I myself have been a doctor for many years, so it is impossible for me to get diarrhea wrong."

This is strange. They say it's just ordinary diarrhea, but antidiarrheal medicine doesn't work. Jing Zhaoyin frowned and asked Ye Yuxiao: "What will happen to these patients if the antidiarrheal medicine continues to be ineffective?"

"Judging from the current situation, this kind of diarrhea has no self-healing property. If it is allowed to develop, most patients will probably go into shock or even die due to dehydration." Ye Yuxiao replied.

Jing Zhaoyin didn't quite understand the word shock, but he understood the meaning. If no effective treatment plan could be found, these patients would all die.

At this time, a government official came to report. After preliminary investigation, it was found that there were similar diarrhea patients in various parts of the capital. The total number of patients had exceeded 5,000, and there were signs of continued increase.

Five thousand? ? Now more than 5,000 people in Beijing are suffering from diarrhea, and the medicine is ineffective? ? What would happen if so many people died from diarrhea at the same time? Jing Zhaoyin felt a little chill on his back as he thought about it. The word "plague" appeared in his mind unconsciously, and he quickly asked Ye Yuxiao: "Is this diarrhea contagious?"

Ye Yuxiao said: "There is no sign of human-to-human transmission yet."

That’s okay, at least it’s not contagious like the plague. Jing Zhaoyin breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still hanging and couldn't let go.

But he was a court official, not a doctor. He felt quite helpless in the face of the disease, so he had to ask Ye Yuxiao again: "Mrs. Ning Hui, in your opinion, what is the likely cause of such large-scale diarrhea?"

Cai Jie stood aside for a long time, but when he saw that Jing Zhaoyin only asked Ye Yuxiao about everything but not him, he was a little dissatisfied and interrupted: "Sir, I am also a doctor. In fact, you can ask me."

Jing Zhaoyin's face darkened.

The subordinate officer behind him immediately scolded Cai Jie: "Master Jing Zhaoyin and Mrs. Ning Hui are talking here, how can you have room to interrupt?"

The master hurriedly took two steps, came close to Jing Zhaoyin's ear, and reminded him in a low voice: "Sir, this is the biological brother of the good concubine."

Good concubine? Is that a good concubine who has just become pregnant with a dragon fetus and is favored by the emperor? Hey, there are many dignitaries everywhere in this capital city. If a teacup falls from upstairs, it can hit a relative of the emperor. Who is the brother of the good concubine? If he has to take into account the appearance of his concubine and brother, what is the authority of Jingzhao Yin, and how can he get along in the future?

Jing Zhaoyin thought about it and snorted: "The reason why I asked Mrs. Ning Hui for her opinion is because Mrs. Ning Hui has excellent medical skills and has made great achievements. As far as I know, Mrs. Ning Hui has cured King Lu's leg. , cured bacteremia in Xinyang Hou, served as a military doctor on the battlefield, improved the ointment for golden sores, developed penicillin, and built the first women's hospital in Xitou, the whole country. And you, Doctor Cai, since you have been practicing medicine for many years , is there any achievement that can make my eyes shine, why don’t you tell me about it?”
