Episode 342. Ditch and catch crayfish (1)
Suddenly.
In an instant, my eyes flashed open.
The fireman was the first to be surprised that he was alive. And then it occurred to him that he might have been taken hostage.
‘Where am I trapped?’
The fireman carefully moved his fingers.
His fingers and toes moved well, and his body was not tied to anything.
‘Aren’t you in custody? What kind of scheme is this again?’
Carefully opening his eyes and looking around, he found himself in his own barracks. In front of the door stood camouflage men holding spears.
‘Are those two spying on me?’
As I silently activated my inner strength, I could feel the heavy energy extending to the White Sea.
‘I’m too fine for that kind of thing…..’
My doubts began to grow.
after a while
Dada…..
I heard a bustle outside.
“Welcome!”
“Ugh! Even if you are in a hurry!”
I heard footsteps coming from outside the barracks.
After a while, the guards moved out of the way and a group of people entered the barracks.
The fireman pretended to be asleep and closed his eyes, intending to launch a surprise attack.
‘If I knew it would come here, I would have brought the spear over there…’
It was a pity that I had wasted time checking my body.
With a body like this, it was possible to subdue at least two guards with spears and escape.
“Rep. Chung. This person is my master and Eosa Daebu, so do your best in treatment.”
“Your lord Dowi. I will do my best.”
The fireman had his eyes closed, but he could hear everything.
‘lawmaker? Did you bring the doctor to treat me right now? what? What happened? Didn’t Sungryeom poison me to kill me?’
The fireman was curious, but he didn’t feel alive, so he kept watching the amount they were doing.
As I closed my eyes, I felt the doctor holding my wrist and taking my pulse.
After taking the pulse, I turned my eyelids over and tried to open my mouth forcibly.
It was difficult for the painter to pretend to be asleep, but he persevered by turning his eyes over so that the whites were visible.
“How are you?”
“Hmm~. I’m sorry. I’m not good at medicine… I don’t even know what kind of poison it is.”
“I heard that you are the best in Hadong, but are you saying you can’t even figure out the type of poison?”
“sorry. I have never seen such an addicted patient who could not find any poisoning symptoms.”
“No symptoms of poisoning? He suddenly collapsed and hasn’t woken up yet… Aren’t you, by any chance, a quack with a brilliant reputation?”
Hearing the conversation between Seong-ryeom and the doctor, the painter realized that it was not Seong-ryeom who poisoned the poison. If the poison has been released, there is no reason to bring a lawmaker and make such a fuss.
‘Come to think of it, all the disciples and members of the council were sent to Luoyang.’
Doctors remain, but they are incapable of curing addiction. Perhaps that’s why he brought a famous lawmaker from Hadong-gun.
‘By the way, if you look at the current state, this isn’t an addiction symptom? So what? It’s as if I’ve slept soundly…’
Suddenly.
The fireman thought about it and realized that he was very familiar with drugs that caused similar symptoms.
‘Anesthesia! No anesthetic! Could it be that someone mixed the anesthetic solution with the food?’
If you’ve been ingesting an anesthetic, you may not even notice.
This is because the smell is familiar because I have used it so many times while treating patients.
It is similar to the fact that doctors and nurses cannot smell the disinfectant that is common in hospitals.
‘Who is it? All the disciples and doctors went to Luoyang City and I was the only one who could handle the anesthetic… There’s no way the doctor stole the anesthetic.’
If Sejak hid and mixed the anesthetic liquid with food, he should have done it when he fell asleep, but he didn’t.
‘her! I don’t understand this situation. Could it be that there is another Sejak among the maids?’
Thinking about it, I felt that I had overcome a great crisis thanks to my sincerity.
There was no longer any need to pretend to be asleep.
“Kuhm!”
The fireman sighed and opened his eyes and stood up.
“Huh!”
The doctor who was listening to Seongryeom’s scolding was startled, and then Seongryeom and the guards widened their eyes in surprise.
“You woke up. How are you feeling? what are the legislators doing? Come on, the chief…”
“It’s done. There is no need to urge the legislator. It’s been a long time since I woke up.”
When the painter sat up on the bed, Sung-ryeom let out a sigh of relief.
“If you have been awake for a long time… how are you feeling? Are you okay?”
“It doesn’t seem like there’s anything wrong with it.”
As the painter moved his body lightly, the senator cautiously opened his mouth.
“Seong Do-wi said that Eosa Daebu was poisoned. There’s no way there won’t be any symptoms, so I’ll check the pulse again.”
“No, you don’t have to. Because I already know what kind of poison it was.”
“yes? What kind of poison have you been poisoned with?”
“It’s already okay, so the congressman doesn’t have to worry about it.”
At the words of the fireman, the senator closed his mouth.
I was curious, but it was difficult to ask the fireman something in this situation. Moreover, isn’t the opponent the great monarch who is said to be the best name of the time and has the strongest military power these days?
“How many of you fell asleep with me?”
“Approximately 5,000 people were poisoned… All of them were commanding officers and subordinates. Of course, there are regular soldiers, but most of them were in key positions in the military.”
“Are all your symptoms similar to mine?”
“The four members of the council were unable to identify the poison and appeared to be asleep.”
“Is no one else awake but me?”
“If anyone is awake, report to me…”
“Saint Guard. The longevity started waking up… Whoa! I know the Eosa Daebu.”
At that time, a commander from outside shouted and rushed in. Seeing the fireman awake, he hesitated and hurriedly raised a bow.
“The generals are starting to wake up?”
“Yes, General Guan Yu is the first to wake up, followed by General Equipment and other generals.”
“Okay, the generals are waking up, so let’s go there.”
The fireman was convinced that the anesthetic was used after hearing that longevity in good physical condition woke up first.
When I came out of the barracks, I saw that many people who had fallen asleep had been gathered together, and those who had woken up were all shaking their heads.
“Sung Dowi.”
“Your master.”
“As for those belonging to the medical corps, arrest all the uinyeo, uino, and even the soldiers. However, they have not been found guilty yet, so please do not treat them harshly.”
“I take orders.”
When Seongryeom received the order of the fireman, he must have noticed something and hurriedly ordered someone to carry out the order.
When the fireman appeared, those who came to their senses hurriedly took a military rite.
“Meet the governor.”
“How is your body?”
“There is nothing more than stellar. I must have felt dizzy and passed out…”
“I guess so. I’ll take a look at Mac.”
As the painter approached, Guan Yu held out his hand.
As expected, the function of the body is temporarily degraded by taking the anesthetic, but this should disappear before even a moment passes.
“My opinion is correct. You will be fine soon.”
“Are we poisoned?”
“It’s not poison… ha, no. There is such a thing.”
“yes? Why are you doing that?”
“I have a guess, but I haven’t confirmed it. I’ll tell you later when I’m sure.”
“Ah yes.”
Hwabu nodded after checking the veins of Guan Yu, equipment, and other generals.
“They all have the same symptoms. After a while, all the soldiers will wake up. It’s not a big deal, everyone, be careful not to be upset.”
“All right.”
The fireman glanced at the generals and walked towards the medical station.
When I arrived at the medical corps, the guards gathered about 20 soldiers in one place, including a medic, a medic, and some chores, and were waiting.
“Eosa Daebu, we did not poison our food. Trust me.”
“Eosa Daebu, how can we poison…”
“Eosa Daebu…”
When the fireman appeared, Uino, Ui-nyeo, and soldiers scrambled to complain about their injustice.
“Everyone be quiet.”
When Seong-ryeom took out a knife and swung it in the air, the mouths that were talking were closed at once, but the eyes and face were full of resentment, anxiety, and desperation.
In fact, the people here were so close to the fireman that it was difficult to call them strangers. They are people who have been together for a long time, assisting with treatment.
The fireman looked at each of the people for a moment.
‘Haa~ To think there’s Sejak among them… Just thinking about it is terrifying.’
The medical corps was a place where human inspection was exceptionally thorough.
If there was Sejak, even those close to Sejak would have to be suspicious, so the relationship of trust with all of them could eventually be broken.
I came here because it was something I couldn’t pretend I didn’t know, but I was confused.
“As you all know, today I and many generals and soldiers have suffered unsavory things. I don’t think there are any suspects among you, but I still can’t help but investigate. Castle Dowi.”
“Your master.”
“From now on, send one by one into the barracks of the medical unit. I will interrogate myself.”
“yes.”
When the fireman entered the barracks, ten guards followed him, and after a while, starting with Uino, the eldest, they entered one by one and began to answer the fireman’s questions.
The fireman asked each of them individually what they had done today and what the people around them had done, and asked them to point out any doubters.
The interrogation lasted all night until dawn.
Hwabu’s army was originally scheduled to enter the capital of Hadong-gun that day, but was delayed for a day due to interrogation.
Whoa~.
A long sigh flowed from the mouth of the fireman who had finished the final interrogation.
‘If I had ordered Eulji Danju to do this, I would have figured it out right away… Doing it myself is a headache.’
The fireman interrogated more than thirty people and tried to find out who was suspicious, but somehow no one was suspicious.
If there was a Sejak, it could be said that a very outstanding person hid because it was enough to escape the fireman’s interrogation and censorship. However, the painter concluded that there was no Sejak among them.
‘In a way, it might be a natural result that there is no Sejak. In the first place, all those qualified to handle anesthetics went to Luoyang Castle.’
Come to think of it, the key to the wagon containing the difficult-to-handle medicines was currently the only one he had.
After a while, the fireman shook his head after opening the wagon containing the medicine with the key.
For as many as 5,000 people to fall asleep more than once, more than half of the sleeping pills stored in the wagon had to be consumed. However, all the sleeping pills in the wagon were still there.
“It’s a ghost to wail. There’s no sign of using drugs…. Should I rush to the soldiers who cooked the rice?”
When the fireman thought that he would have to interrogate even the soldiers, his head ached so much that it hurt.
But no matter how painful it is, it can’t be done.
After a while, the fireman called the scribe and generals together and had them interrogate the soldiers individually in the same way he had done with the men of the medical corps.
