Ask Sword

"Mr. Li Xiaolang?! Is Mr. Li Xiaolang at home?"

Anxious voices sounded outside the house, Li Ang raised his eyebrows, it was getting dark, who would suddenly come to visit at this time?

"Who is it?"

He opened the door and walked out of the study, and saw a gray-clothed man with an anxious expression standing outside the courtyard door, his face vaguely familiar.

Behind him, the carriage parked on the side of the road was engraved with the pattern of Liuguang Bank.

"Butler Jin?"

It took Li Ang a little time to remember who the other party was - the steward of Jin Wusuan's family.

"anything?"

"Mr. Li Xiaolang, my master has fallen ill."

Butler Jin said quickly: "Half a month ago, he felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and hoarse voice. The doctor at home prescribed a prescription to moisten the throat and clear the lungs. After drinking it, he felt much better. As a result, he started coughing again during the day. Bloodshot, and then continue to cough up blood"

"Take me there."

Li Ang said without hesitation.

He and Jin Wusuan only had business contacts, and they had had trouble with the Nie family case before. But there is one advantage of Jin Wusuan, which is to keep promises and keep promises.

Li Ang requires that no child labor be allowed in all industries involving absorbent cotton, soap, and perfume, and all workers are provided with standard protective clothing, masks, and gloves, and the maximum working hours and minimum wages are set every day.

These regulations, even if the court of the State of Yu came forward, it would be difficult to enforce them.

And Jin Wusuan, relying on the skills he has cultivated in the business world for many years, really found a way to fulfill Li Ang's request, and provided a certain degree of living security for the workers in the industrial chain—even if it cost twice as much. the cost of.

Due to emotion and reason, Li Ang didn't want to see anything happen to Jin Wusuan.

"I am coming too."

Li Leling followed suit.

The Liuguang Bank run by Jin Wusuan was able to become the largest in the Yu Kingdom in just 20 to 30 years, and it was inseparable from the support and acquiescence of the emperor and empress.

Even the common people in Chang'an who "discussed the state affairs indiscriminately" knew that this bank was actually the private pocket of the emperor and his wife.

Whether it is repairing the palace, traveling away from Beijing, or organizing weddings and buying dowry for princes and princesses, there is always the shadow of Liuguang Bank behind them. In turn, to evade the accusations made by the scholar-bureaucrats on the extravagance and waste of the emperor and empress.

The richest man in the Yu Kingdom has no money to count. To some extent, he is Li Leling's family's "servant", and he is the most capable one.

An excellent domestic servant is seriously ill, and the master should visit him.

"Teacher, can I follow?"

Ouyang Shi's eyes lit up and he raised his hand to ask.

Hemoptysis is a very serious clinical manifestation. She was very curious about how the pampered and pampered man suddenly became ill.

Seeing that the three of Li Ang were all boarding the carriage, Chai Chai was torn between staying at home for dinner and going out, and chose the latter.

The carriage was full, and the dignified manager of the Jinfu, who could shake Chang'an's business world by stomping his feet, could only go to the front of the carriage bitterly and squeezed together with the coachman.

"Guard Jin, how much blood did your master cough up today? What color is the blood? Is there any foam or pus in the blood?"

Li Ang asked quickly.

Ouyang Shi on the side explained to Li Leling and Chai Chai, explaining why Li Ang asked, "Hemoptysis specifically refers to bleeding in the respiratory tract or lung tissue below the throat, coughed up through the mouth. It will be confused with bleeding in the nose, mouth, or throat, or vomiting blood. So first ask which one it is.

Hematemesis is upper respiratory tract bleeding, which originates from the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. The color is mostly dark red or crimson, and it can be mixed with food.

Bloody sputum contains pus, which is more common in bronchiectasis, pneumonia, and lung swelling. Only pure blood may be pulmonary infarction. Pink foamy sputum may be left heart failure."

Jin Guanshi sat in the front of the car, trying hard to describe Jin Wusuan's condition.

The more he listened, the more dignified the expression on Li Ang's face became.

Squeak——

The carriage stopped in front of the spacious and majestic Jin Mansion. Li Ang jumped out of the carriage, frowned, stepped through the main entrance, and saw Jin Wusuan led by Guanshi Jin.

He was wearing brocade clothes, sitting on a bench made of longan wood, his face was pale, and he tapped the armrest of the wooden chair with his fingers.

Standing beside him were two concubines, one serving him tea and water, and the other holding a crystal clear jade bowl containing phlegm and blood.

The other concubines of Yingying Yanyan had nothing to do and wanted to express their concern for their husbands, so they had to wipe away their tears silently.

According to rumors in the market, Jin Wusuan is an infatuated person. After his first wife died of illness 20 years ago, the position of wife has been vacant.

"Mr. Li Xiaolang."

Jin Wusuan supported the table and stood up, nodded respectfully, and said hoarsely: "Princess Guanghua."

Princess?

The movements of the concubines wiping their tears subtly paused, and they looked at Li Leling curiously.

"sit down."

Li Ang glanced at the sputum sample in the jade bowl, first asked Jin Wusuan to sit down, then took out a mask, gloves, and stethoscope from the medicine box, put them on for himself, asked questions, and checked his body.

Cough, hemoptysis (bloody sputum), chest pain, labor pain, chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, hoarse voice.

"Do you need to see medical records?"

Jin Wusuan said hoarsely: "There are several famous doctors in my house all the time. They have also seen it, and they said that it is because of the unfavorable qi mechanism, phlegm turbidity, and accumulation of poison and evil."

"unnecessary,"

Li Ang shook his head, "Lie down, just use the thread."

"good,"

Jin Wusuan nodded, and waved away the concubines and servants in the room, leaving only two taciturn guards - judging from the fluctuation of breath, they were all cultivators Xunyun.

Li Ang took out the thread from the medicine box, sterilized it, and slowly stabbed it into the chest of the richest man in the Yu Kingdom.

The corners of the two guards' eyes twitched, and they wanted to get closer, but after Jin Wusuan's gaze swept away, they still stood there, motionless.

Li Ang closed his eyes, carefully released the power of thought, pushed forward the line of thought,

At the same time, by reading the thread, spreading spiritual consciousness, observing the situation in Jin Wusuan's chest.

Abnormal bronchial mucus secretion, pleural effusion, lung mass and lymph node enlargement, and spread and metastasis, compressing the trachea

Li Ang looked at the lungs full of nodules in his spiritual consciousness, and slowly retracted his thoughts in silence, then turned his head and said to Ouyang Shi: "Go and prepare the microscope. Take precautions."

"Oh, alright."

Ouyang Shi put on a mask and gloves, took out the microscope from the bottom of the medicine box, and under Li Ang's instructions, put Jin Wusuan's sputum smear under the microscope for examination.

"Have you found tuberculosis bacillus?"

Li Ang changed the mask and gloves for himself, and asked in a concentrated voice.

Ouyang Shi pressed his lips tightly, observed for a long time, and then replied in a deep voice: "No. It's not tuberculosis."

The two looked at each other and fell silent at the same time.

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which can cause cough, chest pain, dyspnea, and hemoptysis.

In Yu State, it is also called tuberculosis. Patients often cough to death.

However, if it is not tuberculosis, then the above symptoms will point to another more terrifying disease.
