Chapter 231
(If you have an assistant card for the year-end celebration, you can give it to me. Bow.)
The king, ning yuanxian, was well aware that Zhang Ji was a capable general of the state.
This person would be of great use in the future, so of course he didn’t want him to die.
“He was fine a few days ago, why did he suddenly die?” “Did someone harm him?” the monarch said angrily.
no, ” the chief eunuch Li Jing said. he has a terminal illness. It’s acute intestinal inflammation.
The king’s eyes narrowed.
Gut ache!
In this world, it was an incurable disease.
Whether it was chronic or acute, they were basically dead.
This disease was not common, but it was not rare either. Even people in the royal family had died of this disease.
Not to mention others.
Ning yuanxian’s previous wife, who was also Ning Han’s mother, had also died of this illness.
She was the woman ning yuanxian loved the most.
Concubine Bian in front of her had some of her temperament.
What a pity, Yingluo.
Just because of a verbal marriage agreement with Jiang Li.
For the throne, for the country of Yue, he abolished the original Queen and made the Zhu family the Empress. As a result, this first wife became depressed and confined herself in the cold Palace, dying from a gut ache.
He could still remember how much pain and despair that woman had felt when she was suffering from the intestinal burn.
After staying up for a few days and nights, he died.
At this moment, ning yuanxian was really a little regretful.
He shouldn’t have gotten angry with such a loyal subject like Zhang Ji. He should have released him a month or two ago.
The condition of intestinal inflammation was either caused by overeating or caused by worry, pain, and accumulation.
Zhang Ji’s state of mind in the Supreme Court’s prison these past few months should be the same as his first wife’s.
One was to be crippled for no reason and imprisoned in the cold Palace.
One was a Minister who had clearly performed meritorious deeds, but was imprisoned in the court of judicial review and was even charged with corruption of the National Treasury.
If he had been released earlier, he would not have gotten this terminal illness.
“Release Zhang Ji and send an Imperial physician to treat him.”
“Yes!”
The king knew that sending the Imperial physicians to treat him was already ineffective, but he still sent them.
At the very least, Zhang Ji would be able to die in peace.
After Li Sun left, the king laid back on concubine Bian’s lap.
“Yan ‘er, don’t you think I’m particularly unkind and mean?” The monarch asked.
This question was too difficult to answer.
If you say no, you’re obviously lying.
If you said yes, the king would be unhappy.
Concubine Bian reached out and touched ning yuanxian’s eyebrows. She said gently, ” “Chenqie would rather husband be a little unkind, so as not to let herself suffer.”
Ning yuanxian was in love. The heavens had blessed Yan ‘er with a child.
..............................
When Zhang Ji was carried home, he had lost all his weight.
Although he had not been subjected to any torture in the prison of the Supreme Court for the past few months, he had had enough of cold violence.
Her daily diet was terrible.
Moreover, this pain in his gut had already happened a few days ago, but the head jailer of the court of judicial review had mocked him for putting on an act.
Want to see a doctor? Sure, as long as you pay.
Other than the prison of the black water station, all the other prisons in the world were the same.
No matter how high an official’s rank is, as long as you enter my prison, you’re my grandson. No matter what you do, you have to pay and bribe.
Of course, if you could recover, these prison guards wouldn’t dare to mistreat you. They might even come to make you suffer.
When Zhang Ye first entered the Supreme Court’s prison, the jailer and jailer all came over to curry favor with him, hoping to form a good relationship with him. Wasn’t this considered sending charcoal in the snow?
In the end, a few months passed.
The monarch was still not interested in Zhang Ji, so there was no chance for him to turn the tables.
Then there was no need for everyone to be so polite.
The jailer and jailer head started to extort money.
How could Zhang Ye possibly give it to her?
Hence, he was subjected to the cold abuse of these villains.
The severe pain in his abdomen lasted for several days, and he fainted directly. The high fever did not go down, and the jailer panicked and quickly reported it.
After the doctor from the court of judicial review came to check, he immediately determined that it was an intestinal ulcer.
“Just wait for your death!”
After all, Zhang Ji had been the governor before, so the few of them quickly reported his condition to the chief of the Supreme Court.
The official of the Supreme Court also hesitated for a long time.
Should he wait until Zhang Ji was dead before reporting to the Emperor? However, he did not do so in the end. After a few hours of delay, he reported to the palace.
With this delay, a few days passed.
Zhang Ji was already on the verge of death.
........................
The Imperial physicians took turns to treat Zhang Ji.
“It’s indeed a severe intestinal ulcer, and it’s almost completely rotten.”
his fever is so high that he’s not in his right mind. He’s also shivering and has jaundice.
“It’s no longer being treated.”
A few Imperial physicians made a joint judgment.
“Second young master, prepare for your funeral.”
The imperial physician said to Zhang Ye.
At this time, Zhang Ji was kneeling by the bed in a daze, as if he had lost his ability to react.
“Second young master, do you want us to prescribe some anesthetic so that your father won’t die in pain after taking it?”
Zhang Ji shook his head. there’s no need. Even if father wants to go, he’ll go with a clear mind.
The imperial physician sneered in his heart. Zhang Ji was running a terrible fever and had long lost consciousness.
“My condolences, second young master.” The imperial physician said.
After that, the Imperial physicians all returned to the palace to report.
In fact, they had only come to express the monarch’s attitude. Everyone knew that there was no cure for intestinal pain, so it was a waste to come.
After the Imperial physicians left, Zhang Ji’s tears began to fall.
At this moment, he was already numb to the pain and had begun to doubt everything.
When his third brother Zhang Jin died, he already felt a heartache.
Now that his father, Zhang Ji, was about to pass away, Zhang Ji’s world was on the verge of collapse.
Endless despair!
The clarity of this despair had gradually begun a few months ago.
When Zhang Ji had first been sent to prison, he had still held great hope that the Emperor was only acting on a whim.
However, as time passed, he didn’t dare to have any hope.
Perhaps his father’s weight in the king’s heart was too low.
Moreover, he was not willing to plead guilty and beg for mercy. How could the king compromise for him?
Now, he was finally in despair.
Father, is your life worth it?
Those mediocre and corrupt officials enjoyed wealth and glory.
You’ve worked so hard for the king, but in the end, you ended up like this.
When the king had wanted to implement new policies, which of these officials had been willing to stand out, and which of them had been willing to offend?
It’s all because you stepped forward.
But now?
Mediocrity and inaction allowed them to sit back and relax, while those who truly did things encountered unexpected disasters.
Was this kind of loyalty worth it?
But no matter how angry or desperate Zhang Ji was, it was all useless.
Zhang Ji had already fallen into a complete coma.
He had a high fever and his body was turning yellow.
His skinny body kept trembling.
Zhang Ji couldn’t do anything. He could only hold his father’s thin hand tightly and kneel by the bed without moving.
He could only wait for the final moment to arrive.
He was waiting for his world to collapse.
His wife and two children were crying silently in the room.
His two children were still young, five and three years old.
He didn’t even know what death was.
However, he could feel desolation, despair, and fear.
Zhang Ji was quite ostentatious in Nujiang County. After all, he was a Governor.
However, Zhang Ji was only a sixth-rank imperial censor, and his salary was very low. He only had one old servant and two old maidservants in his family.
At this moment, the family was looking at the dying Zhang Ji.
It was extremely miserable!
Because the king had not vindicated Zhang Ji, not a single official had come to visit.
Zhu Rong was concerned about Zhang Ji, but he was the governor of Tiannan province, after all, and was not in the capital most of the time.
Thus, when Zhang Ji was about to die, no one came to send him off.
Zhang Ji stopped crying. He held his father’s hand and waited quietly.
His sister, Zhang Chunhua, couldn’t make it back in time.
Big brother is at the battlefield of the South beating Kingdom and won’t be able to make it back in time to see him for the last time.
He was the only one to send his father off.
At this moment, the old servant’s voice sounded from outside, ” Second young master, Shen lang and Prince Ning Zheng are here to visit.
Zhang Ji was taken aback and could not believe it.
Before his father, Zhang Ji, died, the person who came to send him off was his greatest enemy?
Then, he stood up and wiped his tears. He walked out and bowed. “Greetings fifth Highness, greetings brother Shen Chengcheng.”
Even in his grief, Zhang Ji’s bow was still meticulous.
Shen lang didn’t come alone. He brought Shen Shisan, Huang Feng, and the others with him. He was carrying a huge box.
“I don’t have time to explain.” “Brother Zhang che, I just heard that your father suffered from a gut ache, so I rushed over to treat him,” Shen lang said.
Zhang Ji trembled and looked at Shen lang in shock, ” “Brother Shen, intestinal inflammation is a terminal illness. Can it be cured?”
“I’ll take a look first,” Shen lang nodded.
In modern society, intestinal pain was equivalent to appendicitis.
Acute intestinal pain was acute appendicitis. If it wasn’t treated in time, it could lead to various complications that could be life-threatening.
This surgery was not difficult to perform. In fact, it could be done in the second-grade A hospitals in every county.
This was not a difficult surgery, but it was not a small one.
This was because he needed to perform an abdominal incision and remove the infected Appendix. If it caused other complications such as severe inflammation, he would still have to undergo relevant treatment.
In this world, there were no antibiotics. Any infection from this kind of surgery could be fatal.
After Shen lang entered the room, he almost did not recognize Zhang Yan when he saw him again.
He was already skinny to begin with, and now he was practically skin and bones.
Originally, his hair had only turned a few percent white, but now it was almost completely white.
Although Zhang Ji was a scholar, he was still highly skilled in martial arts and had always kept his back straight.
At this moment, it was actually curled up into a ball, as if it had become much shorter.
Shen lang sighed in his heart.
The king was really mean and unkind.
At that time, Zhang Pu’s death and the defeat at raging tide city didn’t even make Zhang che bow.
And a mere few months of mental torture had caused Zhang Yingluo to curl up into a ball and become like this.
Then, he quickly used an X-ray to examine Zhang Jing’s abdomen.
Of course, it was acute appendicitis, and it was already swollen beyond recognition.
What was even more serious was that all kinds of complications had already begun.
She reached out and touched Zhang Ji’s forehead. It was burning.
A high fever of over 40 degrees.
In general, acute appendicitis would not cause a high fever, unless it was caused by complications.
“Your father has been delayed for a few days. The group of evil officials from the Supreme Court really deserve to be killed. They actually hid it for a few days without reporting it. Now, he’s already beyond cure.” Shen lang said.
Zhang Ji’s tears that had already dried up rolled down his face again.
Shen lang said, ” I don’t have the confidence to cure your father now. I only have 30% chance. I might not even have 30%.
Zhang Ye was taken aback.
30%? At this moment, even if there was a 10% chance, he would already be grateful to tears, let alone a 30% chance.
If it was someone else, they would definitely not believe Shen Lang’s words.
But Zhang Ji believed.
This was because this person was once his father’s greatest opponent. Although he seemed absurd and unruly, he was never lying.
Everything he had said had come true.
Zhang Ji immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
“Whether or not my father can be saved, I will never forget brother Shen’s great kindness. If you have any requests in the future, I will not say a word. I will climb a mountain of knives or swim in a pot of boiling oil without even frowning.”
brother Zhang, you don’t have to do this. I will definitely do my best! Shen lang said.
“Feng ‘er, boil some water,” Shen lang said.
thirteen, light candles, the more the better. Set up mirrors.
Shen Shisan, Huang Feng, and the other Warriors of the Jin family started to set up a primitive operating table.
Instead of rubber gloves, he used a special animal skin glove, which was very thin, transparent, and elastic.
Dozens of large candles were lit in the room, and the reflection of the mirror illuminated Zhang Ji’s abdomen.
Huang Feng began to boil water and boil various medicinal herbs.
The strong anesthetic was ready.
After it cooled down a little, Shen thirteen directly poured the anesthetic into Zhang Ji’s mouth.
After a while, Zhang Ji gradually calmed down.
Then, there were all kinds of anti-inflammatory Chinese medicine.
After everything was done.
Shen lang picked up the sharp scalpel and cut open Zhang Jing’s abdomen. He then started the surgery.
This was the first time he had actually performed surgery since he came to this world.
What happened to Chou Yao ‘er and Ning Zheng didn’t count.
He seemed to have been a doctor for a long time, but in less than half a minute, he was extremely skilled.
Because of the X-ray eye, he could directly find the infected Appendix.
Everything was done with great familiarity.
After all, he had been a famous doctor in his previous life and had performed appendectomies countless times.
This kind of surgery was really easy for him. It could even be said that he could do it with his eyes closed.
He found the extremely red and swollen Appendix and cut it off.
It was easy to cut it off, but the key was to check and treat for other complications.
Did it cause halosoplaemia and halosoplaticitis?
Once septicaemia was triggered, even Shen lang would not be able to save her.
Shen Lang’s surgery was tense but orderly.
Outside, Zhang Ji was kneeling in front of the memorial tablet of his ancestor. His wife, two children, and the old servants were all kneeling there.
There was even Zhang Jin’s spirit tablet on it.
ancestors, please bless me. I will definitely help father survive this calamity.
“Third brother, you must bless Father in heaven.”
“If you can bring father back to life, I’m willing to shorten my life by thirty years. I’m willing to take your place!”
Time passed by.
........................
The king, ning yuanxian, was still unable to sleep. He was waiting for Zhang Ji to die.
The decree had already been drafted. Not only would it vindicate him, but it would also confer him a title.
As long as news of Zhang Ji’s death came, this decree would be immediately sent over, and Zhang Ji would immediately be promoted by one rank.
“Were there any officials who visited Zhang Ji?” The monarch asked.
“No,” Li Jing said.
“Is human nature so cold?” the monarch sighed.
Then, without saying a word, he picked up a book and started reading.
However, she was so frustrated that she couldn’t read anything.
A moment later!
“Your Majesty, Shen lang went to visit Zhang Ji,” the head eunuch Li Jing said.
The monarch could not help but be stunned, and then he sighed!
Shen lang was indeed an exquisite person. He was an exquisite person with warmth.
..................
After about two hours!
Shen lang sutured the incision on Zhang Yan’s abdomen layer by layer.
The operation was completed!
He took off his gloves, washed his hands with warm water, and walked out.
Zhang Ye, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Shen lang.
I’ve already tried my best, ” Shen lang said. the rest is up to your fate.
It was indeed so.
The appendix was removed.
But whether Zhang Ye could survive was completely unknown.
The first indicator was that he had to wake up in a short period of time and his high fever had to go down.
This was because the thing that was going to kill him now was not the appendix, but the other complications of inflammation.
Even though Shen lang had already taken measures such as disinfection, such a large surgery and such a large wound might cause a bacterial infection.
Everything was up to fate!
Shen lang could only continue to use medicine.
He used all the possible fever and anti-inflammatory medicine.
After all, there were no antibiotics in this world.
..................
In Xu Qianqian’s mansion!
The strong woman was almost exhausted.
It really wasn’t easy. The first season of the spring Silkworms was finally over.
Countless cocoons had also been stored in the warehouse.
The next step was to spin it into silk and then sell it.
The Xu family’s workshop had been burned down by Shen lang, but Lin Mo’s workshop was still there, and the Lin family was dead.
Therefore, the Lin family workshop was directly returned to the public.
With the help of the Marquis of Xuanwu, Xu Qianqian bought the Lin family’s workshop at a fair price.
Now, she was in a huge debt.
But at least, it was a rise again.
As long as the silk was woven, she would not have to worry about sales, and she would not need to sell silk herself. She could sell as much as she wanted at the heavenly Dao conference.
With the glass mirror, the heavenly Dao Association continued to fight back in the trade between the East and the West, taking back trade routes one after another.
It was really nice to enjoy the shade under a big tree.
I’m exhausted, I’m exhausted!
Xu Wanwan was almost falling asleep in the bathtub.
She suddenly shivered and woke up.
It was because she had a dream, a nightmare.
His busy days were so fulfilling, but also so empty.
She would not think about Shen lang. In fact, every time she thought about him, she would immediately change her mind.
The person she missed was Chou Yao ‘er.
If I didn’t return home to rebuild my family’s business, and instead followed Chou Yao ‘er overseas, what kind of life would I have led?
It should be beautiful to explore the unknown and mysterious world.
He wondered how Chou Yao ‘er was doing.
She wondered how her baby was doing.
When will I, Xu Wanwan, have a baby?
Perhaps, she would never have one in her entire life.
Just like that, Xu Wanwan fell asleep in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time.
She suddenly shivered and opened her eyes.
This time, it was not because she dreamed of Shen lang.
Instead, she felt a sense of fatal danger.
There was one more person in the room.
It was a thin man wearing a mask.
The mask was distorted and looked very strange.
Xu Qianqian had never seen him before, but she had definitely heard of his name.
The great thief was happy.
There were two great bandits in Yue country, the three-eyed evil in the West and the bitter joy in the East.
The Wu and Yue countries had sent countless experts to annihilate the bitter joy, but none of them returned.
Ku Huanhuan’s martial arts were too high.
Although he didn’t have many subordinates, they were all elites.
And he came and went without a trace.
The evil three-eyed man had robbed countless people and caravans, and had thousands of horse thieves under his command.
Ku Huan only had a few hundred men under his command, but he had killed dozens of people.
Therefore, in terms of reputation, the two of them were about the same.
Last time, the Tang and su clans had sent over 200 experts to plunder the Jin clan’s fief, and Jin Mulan had been besieged by dozens of Western Region experts.
It was this ku Huanhuan who had appeared and forced hundreds of experts to retreat with just a few people.
He had repelled dozens of Western Region Masters by himself. He had killed two sons of the Tang family and more than a dozen Western Region Masters.
This person was really powerful!
I, ku touhuan, have always only killed corrupt officials and tyrants. But today, I broke my vow because I have no choice!
The voice of this top-tier robber was very hoarse, as if it had been burned.
“I want to use your head to exchange for something, sorry! I’ll be quick, you won’t feel any pain.”
The great thief ku Huan pulled out a sharp blade and placed it on Xu Qianqian’s neck, about to cut it down.
Xu Qianqian didn’t beg for mercy. She just stared at kutou Huan with her big eyes.
“What do you want?”
“Maybe you don’t have to cut off my head. You can exchange my man for my life. What other people can give you, my man can also give you.”
........................
The capital!
That night, Shen lang slept in Zhang Ye’s house.
If anything happened to Zhang San, he would be able to save him immediately.
Meanwhile, Zhang Ye did not sleep the entire night.
He knelt by the bed and prayed to his ancestors and all the gods.
Early in the morning, a ray of sunlight shone through the window and onto Zhang Ji’s skinny face.
It was as if he had a very dark and deep nightmare, and he could not wake up no matter what.
It was as if he had used up all his strength and will.
He had defeated the nightmare of darkness.
It was as if he had used a thousand pounds of strength to open his eyes.
Zhang Ji felt his father’s hand tremble and looked up.
Then, he was ecstatic!
“Father, you’re awake!”
