Chapter 2804 Doubt

Mr. Yu and the others didn't leave, because they needed to take over a lot of things that were sealed up. In addition to confessions and petitions, there were also official documents, medical records, prescriptions, and various medicinal materials they searched back from the medical office.

Everything about this case must be taken over by them, but there are quite a lot of things, so Master Yu and the others decided to seal it up first and then study it slowly.

By the time they were done, it was getting dark.

The four of them washed their faces as soon as they entered the city. They were all tired and hungry at the moment.

After bathing, they gathered together to eat while discussing the case.

Both Imperial Physician Lu and Imperial Physician Xiao Tan were flipping through an account book, which was sent back to Zhou Man by Zheng Gu before, and Zhou Man handed it in later.

They have read it more than once, and at this time it is just a comparison with the previous account books.

When Imperial Physician Lu found it, he pushed the two ledger books together to show Master Yu, "This is the list and expenditure of medicinal materials purchased in September last year. Compared with this year, the purchase in the same period last year was less than one-third of this year's. In the next two months, the difference was bigger, and by November, he had purchased five times the amount of cold-preventing medicinal materials and anti-epidemic medicinal materials that he had purchased in the same period last year."

Mr. Yu made a careful comparison. The account book is also attached with a list of purchased medicinal materials. After pasting, it is folded and stuffed in the booklet, so that it can be seen intuitively.

Master Yu checked it, couldn't help but let out a snort, and said with a smile, "This method is intuitive, how did your Imperial Physician think of it?"

Imperial Physician Lu lifted his eyelids and glanced at him and said: "When the Imperial Physician Office was first established, there were a lot of things purchased, and it was too cumbersome to write the purchase list one by one in the account book when it was busy, so Imperial Physician Zhou simply recorded it in the account book. Expenses, and then paste the purchase list directly on that page, which is both clear at a glance and saves a lot of effort, and I can transcribe it later when I have free time.”

But generally speaking, they don't have any more free time, so the books have always been like this.

Obviously, Zheng Gu was so busy for a while last year, so he was lazy like this.

This year, I carefully recorded the purchase order in the account book one by one.

Master Yu knocked on the table and thought, picked up a steamed bun and took a bite.

On the side, Master Xia spread out a long and thick book, pointed to the list on it and said, "This is the list of diagnosis and treatment starting from the second day of October. It's twice as long, and it seems that there are more people going forward."

After turning a few pages, he said: "And the people who came to consult not only people from Luoyang County, but also people from other counties to seek medical treatment."

"Are all poor people?"

"No, half and half," he said, "and quite a few are asking for medicine on their behalf."

Master Xia showed everyone this paragraph. The list above has a tilde behind it, recording the names of two people, one is the name of the patient, and the other is the name of the person who took the medicine.

Master Xia couldn't help sighing: "I remember very carefully."

Such careful account books are generally unlikely to be fake, because there are household registration addresses, age, and names on them, and they are almost guaranteed to be checked. This is not the case with fake accounts.

Even the censor, Master Xia, couldn't help but sigh, and when they discussed it until late at night, when they went back to the room to sleep, Master Xia couldn't help but say to Master Yu, who was in the same room, "Such a detailed account is the only one for the Ministry of Households. If it can be done, the Imperial Physician Department is much stronger than many departments, and I don’t know how Xiao Yuanzheng taught these people.”

Master Yu sneered: "You haven't checked the accounts of the Tai Hospital before? Was this account made by Xiao Yuanzheng?"

He said: "I think this is a teacher's inheritance, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Yuanzheng."

Master Yu also felt comfortable with this account. He lay on the bed and said thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, Zhou Man has always been a doctor of the Imperial Physician's Office, and the establishment of the Imperial Physician's Office was based on her suggestion. One of the senior elders, so other students in the Imperial Physician Office also learn this way of accounting, right?"

Master Xia smiled and said, "Then it will be much more convenient to check the accounts of the Imperial Physician's Office in the future."

The Censorship Office monitors hundreds of officials, and the Dali Temple is simply the place to hear officials, royal family members, and dignitaries, as well as some major cases. They review the accounts of officials and various departments the most. Spit on your head, you are at least from the Ming Dynasty, can you have a little more brains when you do accounting?

But it's hard to say.

Both of them are very experienced officials, and they have also been in contact with the beautifully done accounts for fake accounts, but the details are like this, plus there are corresponding storage accounts, they are basically true.

Mr. Yu thought thoughtfully, "If he wants to make money, he can be greedy by doing a few tricks on the accounts. There is no need to spend a lot of time on counterfeit medicines, which will not only kill the patient, but also easily happen."

Lord Xia nodded, "I also tend to believe that he is innocent. At least, he didn't know about the counterfeit medicine."

"That's the two possibilities of dereliction of duty and being framed."

Most of the people considered the former at first, and they didn't think Zheng Gu would deliberately buy fake medicines. He is a young master of Ji Shitang, and he is not short of money. How much money can the two counterfeit medicines bring him?

Except for people who are naturally greedy, only a fool would do such a thing.

"If you are negligent, you have to check the person who handled this batch of medicinal materials, as well as the pharmacist he purchased."

Master Yu had already lay down, pulled the quilt to cover his body, "Let's check tomorrow, we'll see Zheng Gu tomorrow, he's the person involved, he should know more about this matter, and..."

And what, Master Yu didn't say.

"And he purchased so many cold-proof and epidemic-proof medicinal materials," Master Xia said quietly: "Obviously, it has been foreseen that there will be a cold disaster in Luozhou. What is the disaster situation in Luozhou? Why hasn't the capital received a disaster report from Luozhou?"

Nowadays, he is diligent and caring for the people, and he has made three orders and five applications. Every local disaster must be reported, especially after the Shengzhou flood was concealed and delayed in reporting a few years ago, which caused no small consequences. Concealing the disaster situation, as soon as there is any natural or man-made disaster, it will be reported to the capital.

It doesn't matter whether the emperor and the court give relief or not, anyway, let me tell you.

It is true that the emperor and the court would not give money for relief casually. Most disasters require the local self-help, and then officials from the Censor’s Desk or Dali Temple will be dispatched to inspect the local area.

Therefore, Mr. Xia reasonably suspected that the officials of Luozhou concealed the disaster in order to prevent officials from the Censor Terrace and Dali Temple from visiting the disaster.

Master Yu is also so suspicious, but without evidence, such words cannot be spoken casually, even if the two of them are working on the same case this time.

see you at 4pm

Yesterday I saw a comment saying that swallowing the keyboard in live broadcast can offset all the debts, and I was moved for a moment.

But think about it or forget it, honestly make up for it
