The Great Qin Empire---Qin Li

After several months, Hei Fu came to the county governor's mansion again and found that the atmosphere here was as solemn and vigilant as other areas in Jiangling City.

The Jiangling city area, which was undefended in the past, was militarized like Ying County. The Qin soldiers who had just finished repelling the Chu State's Mengxia offensive turned into a city defense brigade, patrolling the roads in the city with spears in hand. The lively evening market in the city was cancelled, and the curfew had lasted for a night. Every house was closed, and the streets seemed a little lonely...

In front of the county governor's mansion, there were also hundreds of generals guarding the door with hundreds of people, and people were arranged everywhere on the wall, holding crossbows. If anyone with suspicious behavior approached without permission, they could be shot on the spot!

Looking at the crossbows in the hands of the material officers, Hei Fu seemed to see the scene of yesterday again: when an assassin suddenly appeared in the house of a rich family on the road and fired a crossbow at the carriage of the county governor and the county lieutenant from the window, the personal guards were unable to stop them, and the county governor and the county lieutenant fell to the ground together!

But then, Li You immediately stood up. He had not yet taken off his armor, so it would be fine even if he was hit directly by the crossbow arrow. He just subconsciously threw the county governor down with him.

But he let Ye Teng avoid the vital parts, but failed to keep him unscathed. The young county lieutenant had never encountered such a situation before. He looked a little dazed, staring at the county governor who was still lying in the carriage, not knowing what to do.

"Help me up!"

It was not until Ye Teng cursed in a low voice that Li You reacted and immediately helped the county governor up.

Ye Teng looked fine. He shook off Li You's hand, straightened his hat and belt, looked at the assassin who fell from the window after being shot by the guards, and gave orders calmly.

He first asked everyone to shout "The assassin has been executed! The county magistrate and county lieutenant are safe and sound" to calm the people's fear, and then asked people to quickly block the area and arrest the assassin's accomplices, and then let the driver continue to move forward.

"My Lord, rush back to the county magistrate's mansion?" The driver who knew the inside story asked timidly.

"No, follow the planned route and walk slowly."

Ye Teng closed his eyes, as if the assassination he had just experienced was just a breeze for him. Only the guards nearby could notice that although Li You pretended to be fine, his palm quietly supported the county magistrate's back...

Under the protection of Li You holding a shield, Ye Teng insisted on completing the planned route. Although his lips were a little pale and his hands were a little trembling, the people far away knew nothing about it and were celebrating that the county magistrate was safe.

It was not until they arrived at the county magistrate's mansion, where the people could not see, that Li You asked Hei Fu to get on the car quickly and bandage the county magistrate!

It turned out that the arrow had deeply penetrated Ye Teng's left leg. Hei Fu was shocked. After he hurriedly treated him to stop the bleeding, he found that the arrowhead seemed to have been specially treated. The wound had a strange smell and the place where the arrowhead penetrated was a little black!

The doctors who came after hearing the inquiry looked heavy-faced and thought that the arrowhead was poisonous! So they whispered to discuss countermeasures.

At this time, the county magistrate's daughter Jin also hurried over. Seeing her father injured, she did not cry like other women, but asked the county lieutenant and the county chancellor to go and handle the government affairs, and not to delay here, leaving the chief secretary Lu Dang to take care of it.

Then, the girl in plain clothes came to Hei Fu again and bowed to him: "Father's injury cannot be delayed. The doctors in the county magistrate's office are good at treating diseases, or taking medicine, and food medicine, but they are not good at treating wounds. I heard that Chen Jun, a disciple of the imperial physician Ling Xia, is in Jiangling! He is a colleague of Zuo Bingcao Shi. I hope Zuo Bingcao Shi will invite him quickly!"

The girl's words hit the mark, and Hei Fu calmed down. After agreeing, he immediately went to find Chen Wujiu, a doctor who specializes in treating wounds...

Because the Chu army's offensive this time was anticlimactic, dozens of medical and emergency personnel who were originally planned to be sent to the Chanling battlefield to try the effect failed to go, and are still stationed in Jiangling City.

When Heifu followed Tang Jue and pushed open the house that Chen Wujiu strictly prohibited anyone from entering, he was stunned.

The whole house was filled with the smell of black smoke, but Chen Wujiu was sitting in front of the table, burning the leaves of a certain plant on the lit candle. When the dry leaves were ignited, wisps of green smoke floated up, and Chen Wujiu greedily took a deep breath, revealing an extremely enjoyable expression.

That's right, Heifu, who had helped to destroy the den during his internship in his previous life, recognized that this was marijuana without a doubt!

Heifu was furious, and immediately walked over, grabbed Chen Wujiu, and slapped him twice, one on the left and one on the right!

"I asked you to test-produce anesthetics for the benefit of the world, but you smoked them instead!"

...

"Heifu?"

After being slapped twice by Heifu, Chen Wujiu finally regained some clarity in his blurred eyes. He did not bother to settle accounts with Heifu, and covered his aching cheek and said happily: "You are back? Just in time, come and see what I found!"

After Chen Wujiu's excited narration, Heifu learned that, in addition to continuing to train medical and emergency personnel during the month-long trip to the county, Chen Wujiu did not give up looking for wild marijuana in the wild that could make people comatose and hallucinate.

As a result, he actually found some wild marijuana plants by the Yunmeng Lake!

After two months of attempts, Chen Wujiu had changed the practice of letting his disciples directly taste the flowers and leaves of marijuana. He found inspiration from the common moxibustion fire burning, drying the marijuana leaves and burning them with fire, and then inhaling the green smoke.

The hemp leaves used to extract stem fiber for weaving cloth in the fields had no smell of green smoke, but the hemp leaves with short stems and large leaves found in Yunmengze made Chen Wujiu's heart beat faster and he felt euphoric!

He was overjoyed and thought he had found the magical hemp described by Hei Fu, which "makes you sleepy after eating it", so he asked people to harvest all the growing short stem hemp and began to study it day and night.

"Taking the flowers and leaves of this kind of hemp alone has no effect. I tried it dozens of times before I found that taking the mountain eggplant that can relieve the pain of moxibustion fire mixed with hemp flowers can really make you sleep for several hours! There is no serious problem after waking up!"

As he said, Chen Wujiu pointed to the unlucky disciple who was sleeping soundly on the mat. This apprentice must have become his test subject again. I wonder if Xia Wuji used his disciples in this way back then.

Of course, Chen Wujiu also seemed to be addicted to smoking marijuana leaves. Whenever he felt sleepy, he would take a puff and be full of energy. He continued to study this great discovery in the medical field...

Heifu saw that Chen Wujiu had sunken eye sockets and looked much thinner. He didn't know whether he lost weight by concentrating on his research or by smoking marijuana.

He couldn't care about so much now. He immediately cut to the chase and told Chen Wujiu that the county governor was injured in the assassination and the arrowhead might be poisonous.

Marijuana is not highly toxic, so Chen Wujiu completely sobered up after washing his face with cold water. Listening to Heifu's narration, his face became more and more serious.

"I'll go right away!"

As he said that, Chen Wujiu kicked a few times. Seeing that the disciple was not able to do it, he personally hung up the medicine bag, which contained his various silver needles, moxibustion, and knife-cutting tools. But before leaving, he returned and took two bags of things!

"What is this?" Heifu asked.

"This is what I told you about, the new medicine I have been researching for more than a month!" Chen Wujiu said mysteriously:

"Although it is chewed, it is different from the secret recipe of the poisonous wine of the doctor Bian Que, but it has the same effect! I have given it a new name, called Sleeping Saint Powder!"

...

That day, when Chen Wujiu arrived, he checked the leg of the county governor Teng, who was shot by an arrow, and found that it was not a deadly poison, but golden juice...

"Golden juice?" The county governor's daughter's eyes were red. She must have cried secretly, but she still behaved very decently and capable in front of others. It was amazing that a girl under the age of fifteen could do this.

Hei Fu explained in a low voice: "It is feces juice. The assassin probably didn't have ready-made poison, so he soaked the arrowhead with this thing. As a result, the wounds of the soldiers who were shot by arrows were rotten and difficult to heal. This is often seen in the battle of defending and attacking the city..."

In the previous Yidao defense battle, Hei Fu and his men also used this method. Many Ba people died of wound infection after being shot by arrows, paying the price for their rash resistance to the Qin State. Who would have thought that the assassin would also use this trick.

Since it is not a deadly poison that only appears in martial arts, it is much easier to deal with. However, the infected flesh around the wound needs to be cut off with a hot knife!

"After all, my father is old and not as good as he was in the past. I am afraid he can't bear such severe pain."

Looking at the somewhat confused County Magistrate Teng, Zi Jin rarely showed a girlish posture and gathered her wide silk sleeves. Her mother died young, so the girl's mind matured early. If her father also passed away before she reached the age of 15, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow.

At this time, Chen Wujiu saw the opportunity, bowed down immediately, and presented the "Sleeping Saint Powder" he developed!

Heifu didn't have time to hold him back, and couldn't help cursing inwardly. Did Doctor Chen smoke too much marijuana, or was he eager to make a contribution? He was so impulsive. This thing was only tried on himself and the little disciple. Although it was fine, if Ye Teng took it and fell asleep, what the assassin didn't do was done by him, a doctor, wouldn't it be ridiculous?

Who would have thought that Chen Wujiu would brag and say that this medicine was a recipe left by Bian Que. After Heifu's reminder, he rediscovered it. He repeatedly assured that he had tried this medicine himself and would be able to wake up after a few hours without any side effects.

Zijin looked at Heifu in surprise, as if thinking about something. After hesitating for a long time, she bowed to Chen Wujiu and said:

"Although Zijin does not know medicine, she has heard of the six things that doctors cannot cure. Those who do not believe in medicine should not be cured. Among all the doctors present today, only Doctor Chen can treat this sore and save my father from pain. How dare I not believe it? Please do your best to use the medicine!"

In the end, the "Sleeping Saint Powder" that Chen Wujiu made proved its effectiveness. Ye Teng accepted Chen Wujiu's flesh-cutting surgery in a coma. After cleaning the wound and bandaging it properly, Chen Wujiu and Heifu both hoped that Ye Teng would wake up quickly.

Unexpectedly, the efficacy of the Sleeping Saint Powder seemed to be deviated. Ye Teng slept for a whole night!

This scared the two of them. Chen Wujiu lost his previous confidence and murmured that he was afraid that it was because different people had different constitutions, so there was a difference.

Fortunately, early this morning, Hei Fu finally learned that the county magistrate had woken up, and hurried to the county magistrate's mansion...

The mansion was heavily guarded, and Hei Fu showed his copper seal and yellow ribbon, as well as the county magistrate's letter, before he was allowed to enter. He found that there was a guard every five steps and a sentry every ten steps in the mansion. The former slaves and maids could not help but lighten their steps and dared not speak loudly...

However, when Hei Fu walked to the study where he first met County Magistrate Ye, he heard the county magistrate's angry shout from inside.

"Stupid!"
