Master Yu and the others didn't leave, because they needed to take over and seal up a lot of things, besides confessions and pleadings, there were also official documents, medical records, prescriptions, and various medicinal materials they searched back from the medical office.
All things related to this case must be taken over by them, but there are quite a lot of things, so Mr. Yu and the others decided to seal them up and study them slowly.
By the time they finished their work, it was dark.
The four of them washed their faces as soon as they entered the city. They were tired and hungry at the moment, so they sent someone to look after things and went to take a shower.
After bathing, they gathered together to eat while discussing the case.
Imperial Physician Lu and Imperial Physician Xiao Tan both flipped through an account book, which was sent back to Zhou Man by Zheng Gu before, and handed in by Zhou Man later.
They have read it more than once, and at this time it is just a comparison with the previous account books.
Imperial Physician Lu found it, and pushed the two ledgers to Mr. Yu, "This is the list of medicinal materials and expenditures purchased in September last year. Compared with this year, the purchases in the same period last year were less than one-third of this year's. And more and more In the next two months, the difference was even greater, and by November, he had purchased five times as many anti-cold medicinal materials and anti-epidemic medicinal materials as compared with the same period last year."
Master Yu compared them carefully. There was also a list of medicinal materials purchased in the account book, which was pasted and folded and stuffed in the booklet, so that it can be seen intuitively.
Master Yu compared it, couldn't help but let out a sigh, and said with a smile: "This method is intuitive, how did your medical department think of it?"
Imperial Physician Lu raised his eyelids and glanced at him, saying: "When the Imperial Medical Office was first established, it purchased a lot of things, and when it was busy, it was too cumbersome to write the purchase orders one by one into the account book, so Imperial Physician Zhou simply recorded it in the account book. Expenditures, and then paste the purchase list directly on that page, so that it can be seen at a glance, and save a lot of effort, and then copy it later when I have free time.”
But generally, they don't have free time anymore, so the books have always been like that.
Obviously, Zheng Gu was so busy for a while last year, so he just got lazy.
This year, I carefully recorded the purchase list in the account book one by one.
Master Yu knocked on the table in thought, picked up a steamed bun and took a bite.
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 from the second day of October. I found that the number of patients began to increase gradually from this day onwards, compared with the same day last year. The time has tripled, and it seems that there are more and more people in the future."
He flipped through a few pages and said, "Moreover, not only people from Luoyang County came to seek medical consultation, but also people from other counties came to seek medical treatment."
"They are all poor people?"
"No, half and half," he said, "and quite a few of them are for medicine."
Master Xia showed everyone this paragraph. There was a code at the end of the list above, which recorded the names of two people, one was the name of the patient, and the other was the name of the person who took the medicine on his behalf.
Master Xia couldn't help sighing: "I remember it very carefully."
Such a careful account book is generally impossible to be fake, because it has the household registration address, age, and name on it.
Even Mr. Xia, the censor, couldn't help but sigh in admiration. When they discussed until late at night and went back to their room to sleep, Mr. Xia couldn't help but say to Mr. Yu, who was in the same room, "Such detailed accounts can only be obtained by the Ministry of Accounts." If it can be done, the Tai Medical Department is much better than many departments, and I don’t know how the Xiao Yuan is teaching these people.”
Master Yu snorted and said: "Have you not checked the accounts of the former Tai Hospital? Is this account that Xiao Yuanzheng can make?"
He said: "I think this is a master's inheritance, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Yuanzheng."
Master Yu also felt that the accounts were comfortable to read. He lay on the bed and said thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, Zhou Man has always been a doctor of the Imperial Medical Office, and the establishment of the Imperial Medical Office was based on her suggestion. One of the elders, so the other students in the imperial medical office also learned this way of keeping accounts?"
Lord Xia laughed and said, "Then it will be much more convenient to check the accounts of the Imperial Medical Office in the future."
Yushitai supervises all officials, and Dali Temple is simply a place where officials, royal relatives, dignitaries, and some important cases are tried. They examine the accounts of officials and various departments the most, and sometimes they have a bad temper when they check the accounts. Spit on your head, you are at least from Mingjing background, can you grow your brains when you are doing accounts, grow your brains
But it's hard to say.
Both of them are very experienced officials, and they also have a lot of contact with false accounts that are very beautiful, but the details are like this, and there are corresponding storage accounts, which are basically true.
Master Yu was thoughtful, "If he wants to make money, he can be greedy for money by doing some tricks on the accounts. There is no need to spend a lot of time on getting fake medicines. Not only will it kill patients, but it will also easily cause incidents."
Master Xia nodded, "I also tend to think that he is innocent, at least, he didn't know about the import of counterfeit medicine."
"That is the two possibilities of dereliction of duty and being framed."
At the beginning, everyone also considered the former, and they didn't think that Zheng Gu would deliberately enter counterfeit medicines. He is the young owner of Jishitang, and he is not short of money. How much money can the two counterfeit medicines bring him
Except for people who are born to be cool, only fools would do such a thing.
"If you are negligent, you have to check the people who handled the medicinal materials, as well as the drug dealers he purchased."
Master Yu has already laid down, and pulled the quilt to cover his body, "Let's check tomorrow, let's go see Zheng Gu tomorrow, he is the person involved, he should know more about this matter, and..."
And what, Master Yu didn't say.
"And he purchased so many anti-cold and anti-epidemic medicinal materials," Master Xia said quietly, "It is obvious that there will be a cold disaster in Luozhou. How about the disaster situation in Luozhou? Why didn't the capital receive the disaster report from Luozhou?"
Nowadays, they are diligent and love the people, and they have made repeated orders. All local disasters must be reported. Especially in the past few years, the flood in Shengzhou was concealed and delayed, which caused considerable consequences. Conceal the disaster situation, and report to the capital whenever there is a natural or man-made disaster.
It doesn't matter whether the emperor and the imperial court give relief or not, if there is any, just tell the higher authorities.
It is true that the emperor and the imperial court would not give relief money and food casually. Most disasters require local self-help, and then send officials from Yushitai or Dali Temple to inspect the localities.
Therefore, Master Xia reasonably suspected that the officials of Luozhou concealed the disaster in order to prevent officials from Yushitai and Dali Temple from inspecting the disaster.
Master Yu is also suspicious, but without evidence, such words cannot be said casually, even if the two of them are handling the same case this time.
