In the following days, Lu Jinping asked Ye Qingqing to give Miss Gao medicine once a day. Miss Gao's illness improved day by day. Although the recovery speed was not as fast as before, Lu Jinping obviously had a back-up move, but it had already made the third aunt feel excited. He prayed in his heart that the old man should do this quickly so that the Lord could cure his daughter's illness at once.

Although Miss Gao was angry with Lu Jinping for marrying her, she also knew the severity of the matter. Therefore, when Lu Jinping came to give her a follow-up visit, she did not dare to get angry with the lady, and even dared not speak, for fear that she would make the other party unhappy if she said something wrong, and then she would be miserable.

These days have passed quietly. When Mr. Gao returns, Miss Gao can already get out of bed and walk slowly with her mother's support.

Old Master Gao brought officials who issued the appointment letter to the Ministry of Personnel and appointed Lu Jinping as a doctor of medical treatment in Tongzhou, down from the ninth rank.

Lu Jinping took the letter of appointment and read it carefully. His heart was still pounding, and the new life of the Tang Dynasty began here!

Although he was unable to become the criminal officer he hoped to engage in the criminal investigation work he was good at, he could still change his career in the future. As long as he went to the yamen, the subsequent things would be easier to handle, so he was still very satisfied.

Old Master Gao felt relieved when he saw the smile on the corner of Lu Jinping's mouth.

Officials of the Ministry of Personnel told Lu Jinping that the court documents had been sent to the Tongzhou Yamen, and asked him to go straight to the Yamen to find the governor Feng and the chief clerk in charge of the clinic to report to the office. At the same time, he also said a few words about the official words to Lu Jinping, which were nothing more than to make him cautious as an official, self-disciplined, and loyal to his duties, so as not to let down the emperor's grace and the strong recommendation of the old master Gao, and then said goodbye to return to the capital.

Lu Jinping and Mr. Gao took him out of the gate together. After saying goodbye, he returned to the wing room. Lu Jinping said to Mr. Gao: "Since the old man has done this, there is something I want to tell the old man. Let's talk to the flower hall."

Old Master Gao was more concerned about his daughter's illness and hurriedly said, "That little girl's illness..."

Lu Jinping said: "Your daughter's illness is related to what I said. And don't worry, I will definitely let her get rid of the disease."

Only then did Mr. Gao feel relieved and followed Lu Jinping into the flower hall.

Lu Jinping closed the door and then walked to the stool to sit down. There was already an additional stool in the empty flower hall. This was bought by Lu Jinping specifically asked Ye Qingqing to spend two cents from an old furniture shop. It was already worn out.

Old Master Gao sat on such a stool and heard the creaking sound under his butt. He was really afraid that his butt would be ruined, so he squatted on his horse and supported his knees with both hands to reduce the strength of his butt. In this way, even if the stool was dispersed, he would not fall into a bad view.

Seeing him like this, Lu Jinping smiled: "Sorry, the stool is a little worn."

"It's okay. In the future, Jue Ye will embark on the official career. With Jue Ye's magical medical skills, you will soon be able to make a lot of money and reorganize the Lujia family business. That's just around the corner."

"Thank you, my grandfather. But what I want to tell you is that my medical skills are usually common. I can cure your daughter's illness, not because of how good my medical skills are, but because of another reason."

Old Mrs. Gao felt something was wrong and looked at him nervously: "There is another reason? What's the reason?"

"Your daughter is not sick, but poisoned!"

Old Master Gao was shocked, his feet shook, and almost turned the stool into pieces. He quickly stood up, bent over, stared at Lu Jinping, and asked, "Poisoned? What poison did he get?"

"Arsenic!"

"It's impossible. Some doctors have raised this kind of suspicion before. They used silver needles to test their daughter's vomit, but there was no change in the silver needles. So it's absolutely impossible for my daughter to be poisoned by arsenic."

Lu Jinping said: "If the dose of arsenic is large, maybe the silver needle can be detected, but there is a lot of uncertainty in testing arsenic, because in addition to arsenic, there are many other things that can also cause the silver needle to turn black, so the silver needle to turn black cannot accurately draw the conclusion of arsenic poisoning. On the contrary, the silver needle does not turn black, which does not mean that it is not arsenic poisoning. Because, if it is arsenic chronic poisoning, the amount of each injection is very small, and the silver needle will not change, or the degree of change cannot be discovered by the naked eye. Therefore, the doctor cannot see it."

"Then how did you see it?" Old Master Gao looked at him in confusion.

"Because your daughter has some symptoms of chronic arsenic poisoning, such as loss of appetite, weakness in the whole body, rash on the skin, and dandruff on the edge of her palm, these are all symptoms of chronic arsenic poisoning, similar to ordinary typhoid fever. Miss Gao lives in the boudoir and has very little chance of being poisoned. The most important thing is that the poisoning person only takes a little bit at a time, so it cannot be detected with a silver needle. So even the doctor who already suspected of arsenic poisoning was neglected, and thus misdiagnosed it as a general wind and cold. I thought so at first, but Miss Gao's stinging sensation made me alert. After I touched her wrist, she immediately felt the pain, which was impossible for typhoid fever. Judging from the description of Mr. Gao's condition, such symptoms had appeared before. Therefore, I judged that your daughter was chronic arsenic poisoning."

Speaking of this, Lu Jinping paused and then said, "In fact, one of the important reasons for drawing this conclusion is that Ling Ye has received treatment from many doctors, including the Imperial Doctor. He used various prescriptions for related diseases. Almost all of them can be used, but there was no effect. This can basically rule out that he was sick, thus confirming my inference. - Of course, this is just my speculation. Although this speculation makes sense, and I believe it is correct,

Is it that I did further verification. Therefore, I took the lady’s vomit and went back for testing. It was a special Taoist test to know whether it was poisoned. As I expected, arsenic was detected from your daughter’s vomit, proving that your daughter was indeed chronic poisoning. So I went to the pharmacy and asked the doctor to prescribe arsenic chronic poisoning medicine and give it to your daughter, and her illness improved immediately, which further proved that my test result was correct."

Old Master Gao understood and stuttered: "The medicine you gave my daughter... is actually just... antidotes? medicine to relieve chronic arsenic poisoning? Why didn't you... tell me earlier?"

Lu Jinping looked at him coldly: "What do you think?"

Old Master Gao was stunned. When his daughter's illness was about to recover, he knew that Lu Jinping was the destitute lord who spent money to buy an official and ordered the housekeeper not to come to him again, so he lost the opportunity to let him tell the result. After all, he blocked the road.

Thinking that his daughter was poisoned and attempted to murder, Old Master Gao burst into cold sweat on his forehead and said, "You stopped taking medicine, and my daughter started eating food at home again, the poisoned person continued to poison, so my daughter's so-called disease relapsed immediately?"

"Yes, I did not allow your daughter to eat the things in your house before, and the poisoned murderer suspected that I guessed that your daughter was poisoned. It just so happened that you didn't let me treat your daughter again, so the murderer decided to speed up the progress and poison your daughter as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams. I guessed that this point, so I came to the conclusion that your daughter would die within five days."

"No wonder my daughter was violent when she relapsed. The symptoms that only appeared more than a month ago appeared in one day. It turned out to be the result of increased dose of poisoning."

"Yes!"

"Who is the murderer who poisoned him?"

"I can find the murderer if you are willing to let me be responsible for the case."

"Can you solve the case?" Old Master Gao seemed to have just come to his senses, looked up at Lu Jinping and said, "By the way, you just said, how did you do it when you detected arsenic from the vomit?"

"Because I learned a method specifically for solving cases with a traveling Taoist, including how to test drugs. The reason I asked you to recommend me as a criminal officer was because I was good at not treating people, but solving cases, but I couldn't tell you at that time."

"Why can't you say it?"

As soon as Mr. Gao asked this, he understood the answer. - If Lu Jinping had told him at that time that his daughter was poisoned by arsenic, he would have known how to treat her daughter. Lu Jinping would not need help, so he would not recommend him to be a doctor of medicine later. Therefore, in order to ensure that he could become a doctor of medicine, Lu Jinping did not tell him the truth.
