Chapter 1846
The prisoners who had been tortured by Li Shuan, some had already become disabled, looking quite pitiful.
Chen Guanlou arranged for Medical Official Mu to treat these prisoners, saving one if he could. Among them, only a few would be sentenced to beheading immediately, and most would either be exiled or sit in prison to serve hard labor. If they were disabled, they would really be wasted!
Medical Official Mu brought a group of disciples and a group of pharmacy prison guards to break the bones of the prisoners and reconnect them. Digging out the rotten meat and applying medicine to bandage it.
For those with internal injuries, seeking the consent of the prisoners themselves, they were directly pulled to the side room for abdominal surgery. A 50% survival rate was barely acceptable.
The prisoners were also willing to gamble.
Rather than living worse than death, or being painfully dead, it is better to have a knife down, whether dead or alive depends on God's will, and also on Medical Official Mu's medical skills.
Having the opportunity for abdominal surgery, Medical Official Mu was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth.
After several days of abdominal surgery, the old man in his tens didn't complain of fatigue.
On the contrary, Chen Guanlou, fearing that Medical Official Mu would be tired, took the elixir and fed it to the other party.
Medical Official Mu took the elixir, experienced it, and said loudly, "It is worthy of being an elixir that dares to ask for hundreds of taels, it really has some sayings. Pure Yang Zhenren's other skills are mediocre, but his alchemy skills are indeed the first in the world. No wonder he is deeply trusted by two generations of emperors."
Emperor Taixing and Emperor Emperor Jian Shi were both believers of Pure Yang Zhenren, firmly believing in the efficacy of the elixir.
Emperor Yuanding was deeply disgusted and tried his best to suppress the Yuquan Palace.
The Yuquan Palace has been much lower-key in the past two years, and the disciples and grandchildren have not come out to be active. Chen Guanlou has also not visited the Yuquan Palace for a long time, and doesn't know what the situation of Pure Yang Zhenren is now.
The two were chatting, and news came from the side room that another prisoner had died, dying of high fever after surgery.
Medical Official Mu sighed, "My medical skills are not refined."
"It's not that your medical skills are not refined, but the conditions are limited and the technology is limited."
Technology must keep up with medical development.
Technology is in place, medicine and equipment are in place, it's all in vain.
In such a simple surgical environment, it is a miracle to survive 50%. Medical Official Mu's medical skills are indeed second to none. Anyway, the group of imperial doctors in the Imperial Academy of Medicine, all have rich medical theories, but in terms of surgical level, they are not as good as Medical Official Mu. They don't even have the courage and courage to perform abdominal surgery, and instead will cite classics to excuse themselves. No medical exploration spirit at all!
Despise it!
A few days later, news finally came from Zhang Daohe that he was ready to set off for the underground palace.
For this reason, Chen Guanlou specially went to the temporary palace to find Sun Daoning to ask for a long leave.
He was not sure how long it would take, only saying, "Short is one month, long is half a year or a year. Anyway, I will definitely come back within a year."
Sun Daoning decisively approved his leave, "I won't ask where you are going, safety first. No matter when, take care of yourself! I will have my big birthday next year, you cannot be absent!"
Chen Guanlou smiled, "Rest assured, I will definitely come back before the big birthday, and then I will give you a big gift."
He pricked up his ears and vaguely heard the sound of silk and bamboo.
He was very curious and asked Sun Daoning with his eyes.
Sun Daoning sighed, the temporary palace was small, and any disturbance spread quickly.
He whispered, "His Majesty is drinking and having fun at this moment, with singing girls and dancing girls helping to have fun. Two days ago, His Majesty favored a beauty, who was presented by the officials below, and the next day he conferred her as a concubine, attracting the attention of the ladies in the harem. The Empress is not in the temporary palace, and His Majesty is a bit dissolute. Empress Dowager Sun also doesn't care about things!"
Chen Guanlou realized, and then had new questions, "Is His Majesty in a good mood?"
"On the contrary! His Majesty is in a bad mood, so he drinks and has fun all day long to pass the time."
"You officials, didn't you advise him?"
"Can't advise! The Censorate impeached Zhao Jichong, His Majesty tried his best to protect Zhao Jichong, and for this, he lost two positions in the Ministry of Rites, and his temper is very bad. Xie Xiang has been avoiding His Majesty these few days."
"Will Zhao Jichong roll away?" Chen Guanlou was more curious about this.
"This matter is hard to say!" Sun Daoning refused to say more, pretending to be mysterious.
Chen Guanlou didn't pursue it either.
He listened to the sound of silk and bamboo coming from afar, Emperor Yuanding really knew how to enjoy himself.
After asking for leave, he returned to the capital, and the verdict of the prisoner Zeng Youfu came down.
The Left Vice Minister really chose to punish severely, sentencing Zeng Youfu to be beheaded immediately!
Zeng Youfu learned the news, squatted in the cell, and cried bitterly, unable to accept this result. His killing was unintentional, his original intention was just to resist, and the attack was a bit heavy.
Who would have thought that people would be so fragile, and die when they fell to the ground.
Jingzhao Prefecture sentenced him to exile for twenty years, he accepted it!
Now the Ministry of Justice sentenced him to be beheaded immediately, he didn't accept it!
He thought it was unfair.
Chen Guanlou said with a straight face, "It's useless if you don't accept it, the verdict of the Ministry of Justice is the final result, you can only accept it. Even if you want to overturn the case, there is no chance. Before the verdict, it was possible, after the verdict, everything is settled."
"Why is it me, why is it me."
"I thought you were not afraid of death." Chen Guanlou smiled, "Before you had the courage to resist, looking like you were not afraid of death. Now, why are you pretending? Killing people pays with life, the moment people die, you should have this realization."
"It's different! Last time I didn't die, I didn't want to die! Warden Chen, I heard that you are supernatural, can you help me?" Zeng Youfu grabbed the cell fence tightly, looking forward with eyes.
Chen Guanlou shook his head, "I said, the verdict has been passed, everything is settled. Even if I have the ability, I have no way to overturn the case for you. And, asking me is very expensive, you can't afford it."
"I, I have some savings..."
"Your little savings, not even enough for a fraction. If you don't believe it, you can ask others. Asking me, starting from a thousand taels! Wanting to overturn the case, at least starting from ten thousand taels."
Zeng Youfu gave up!
After working hard for many years, he only saved more than a hundred taels of silver.
Sure enough, not even enough for a fraction.
How unfair is the way of Heaven!
He really didn't think about killing people, it was just a slip of the hand, why did he have to pay with his life.
He hugged his head tightly, unable to breathe with pain.
Chen Guanlou reminded the other party, "Take advantage of now, you might as well say your last words, I can help you convey them. Your funeral affairs, I can also handle them for you."
"I..."
Zeng Youfu was dazed, "Can you tell my wife, after I die, at least wait for a year before remarrying. Leave a hundred taels of silver at home for the children to study, and the rest belongs to her. As for my parents, there are my eldest brother and second brother to take care of, I am unfilial! Send five or ten taels to them."
"These words, when you see your wife, you can tell her yourself."
"I, can I still see my wife?"
"Yes! I will give you a chance, the time of a stick of incense. You must cherish it!"
"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord?" Zeng Youfu cried with excitement, being able to see his family before he died, the death penalty seemed not so unacceptable.
Die if you die, eighteen years later he will be a hero again.
It's just that, in the end, he was still not convinced!
