Chapter 624

Early in the morning, the Ministry of Justice sent someone to interrogate Liu Jinxing and take him to court.

Chen Guanlou signed the documents, and the prison guards dragged Liu Jinxing out of the Heavenly Prison like a dead dog to go to the Ministry of Justice for trial.

Then, he muttered, "Liu Jinxing isn't far from death. Tell the prison guards below to keep a close watch; don't wait until the corpse stinks to discover it. The weather is so hot, everything stinks if left for too long."

He said this without any politeness, and the prison guards also laughed.

The Heavenly Prison is used to seeing dead people; no one will feel sad for anyone's death. They don't have the time, nor the emotion.

Liu Jinxing was interrogated for three consecutive days this time and was subjected to torture. Of his ten fingers, only skin and flesh remained connected, and the bones were all broken. His legs were also broken.

The whole person looked like a blood gourd, with only one breath left to hold on.

The prison guards threw him into the cell and didn't care about anything, nor did they ask a medical official to treat his wounds. Since there were no instructions from above and Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen didn't show any kindness, he was left to fend for himself.

"Jinxing? Jinxing?"

Li Ren in the next cell called out softly.

The groggy Liu Jinxing woke up, wanting to cry, but his throat was hoarse and he couldn't cry out.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, save me. I followed what you taught me and didn't say anything wrong. Brother-in-law, you must save me."

"Don't cry, be careful not to ruin your body. Don't worry, I will definitely save you, and the Li family will save you too. Hold on, hold on. I'll have someone give you medicine first."

Li Ren kept his word and promised to deduct money from his account, just so Liu Jinxing could receive treatment.

The matter was reported to Chen Guanlou. Whether to ask a medical official to take a look, this matter had to be decided by Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen.

After Chen Guanlou heard the process, he chuckled and said, "Li Ren is worthy of being Li Ren; he acts with benevolence and righteousness, with feelings and loyalty. Since he said to deduct money from his account, please trouble Medical Official Mu to make a trip and take a look at Liu Jinxing. Treat what needs to be treated, and don't be stingy with the medicine. It's just a bit of a waste."

The man is almost dead, and they are still going to such trouble, tsk tsk.

It looks like Li Ren wants to act out the play to the end, until the moment Liu Jinxing breathes his last.

Medical Official Mu carried his medicine box down to the prison, took a look at Liu Jinxing's injuries, and saw no major problems; he wouldn't die for the time being. He had seen situations much more severe than this. As long as one doesn't want to die and has the will to live, being young and using medicine, one usually won't die.

Fever and infection are a different matter.

But as long as enough money is given, even with fever and infection, Medical Official Mu has a seventy or eighty percent certainty of saving the person.

Practicing medicine in the Heavenly Prison is not just talk; Medical Official Mu really uses living people to practice his skills. After practicing for so many years, he dares not say anything else, but when it comes to treating external injuries, he dares to claim second place, and I'm afraid no one in the capital dares to claim first.

It's just that he is unknown, and outsiders don't know how formidable he is.

People in the Taiyi Academy know a little, but they have always been on guard, fearing that he would become famous and steal their rice bowls.

To be honest, the people in the Taiyi Academy have far fewer opportunities to practice than Medical Official Mu; those people are more proficient in internal medicine, gynecology, and pediatrics.

If the nobles in the palace get sick, it's mainly these categories.

As for surgery?

It's really not easy for nobles to suffer external injuries. As for poor people suffering external injuries, hehe, poor people don't get to be treated by imperial physicians; there are medical officials for that.

Imperial physicians are so precious; they aren't people just anyone can invite.

Because there was plenty of money in Li Ren's account, Medical Official Mu used medicine boldly, used high-quality wound medicine, and even gave Liu Jinxing pain-relieving medicine, spending quite a bit of time before he finished.

After he finished, he ran to the office to ask for high-quality tea to drink and wanted to eat stir-fried dishes, being all sorts of pretentious.

Chen Guanlou complained to him, "Just treat him casually, ensuring he doesn't die in the next few days. Why spend so much energy?"

"Minister Li gave a lot of money."

Li Ren is indeed sensible.

Chen Guanlou smiled and asked, "Did you use your best skills?"

"That goes without saying. Upholding the spirit of the Jiang Jiang Yucheng, I take money to get things done, and treat the young and old with equal honesty."

"High-quality wound medicine?" Chen Guanlou continued to ask.

Medical Official Mu nodded, "My self-prepared high-quality gold sore medicine makes the wound heal at least one-third faster than ordinary wound medicine, and the post-healing effect is extremely good."

"What a waste. The man is almost dead, and using such good wound medicine is a waste of heaven's gifts." Chen Guanlou complained.

"For the sake of the silver, it's not a waste."

Medical Official Mu ate and drank his fill, let out a satisfied burp, "The previous few Prison Wardens were all lazy; they wouldn't come if they didn't have to. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is different; as long as it's a day on duty, you must come. You really like being on duty!"

After listening, Chen Guanlou laughed, "I am loyal to my duties and like to go to work; I am happy when I go to work!"

He himself didn't expect that one day he would like going to work.

It's just that there's no fun at home!

Nightlife is fun, but that has to wait until night.

Reading novels, he's tired of the ones on the market; they aren't as well-written as his own. He can't find any entertainment, so he can only go to work. How interesting it is to go to work; there are fresh people and fresh things to entertain him every day, and time passes in a flash, and the day is over.

He treats the Heavenly Prison as a place of entertainment, watching the fun every day. Others just think he is loyal to his duties and follows the rules. Being dutiful certainly has nothing to do with him.

He is not a dutiful person.

Afterward, the Ministry of Justice interrogated Liu Jinxing two more times.

During this period, the Li family's steward came to the Heavenly Prison to visit Li Ren. Chen Guanlou didn't let the prison guards eavesdrop on what they said specifically when they met.

It wasn't worth it.

It was just those shitty matters anyway.

Three days after the Li family's steward came to visit the Heavenly Prison, Liu Jinxing finally died in the Heavenly Prison.

The cause of death was wound infection, undoubtedly.

No matter which coroner came to perform the autopsy, this was the cause of death.

Chen Guanlou asked Medical Official Mu, "Are you sure?"

"Certain and correct."

"Someone, carry the corpse out, disinfect, prevent the epidemic; not a single step can be missed."

This time, the prison guards were quite alert; they discovered it only half an hour after he died.

The handymen carried the corpse to the morgue, just waiting for the Ministry of Justice to mark it off, and the family members could come to claim the corpse for the funeral.

"Your high-quality wound medicine couldn't prevent human interference!" Chen Guanlou, having some free time, teased Medical Official Mu.

Medical Official Mu sighed, "I am only responsible for treating illnesses, not for saving people. If someone wants him to die, how can I stop it?"

Under normal circumstances, with Liu Jinxing using Medical Official Mu's high-quality wound medicine, it was basically impossible for a wound infection to occur. The fact that he died of a wound infection was indeed one hundred percent human interference.

Whether the Li family bribed the prison guards or Li Ren did it himself, it didn't matter.

Liu Jinxing was going to die sooner or later anyway.

Even if the Li family was willing to protect Liu Jinxing, Chen Guanlou wouldn't let this bully walk out of the Heavenly Prison alive.

Now that the man is dead, it just happens to fit his wishes.

The Ministry of Justice asked a couple of follow-up questions and then marked it off on the document.

The Liu Jinxing case ends here.

Next, full-scale attack on the Li family.

It will not be an easy task for Li Ren to extricate himself.

Chen Guanlou specifically went down to the Jia-type block and came to the cell door where Li Ren was being held.

"Congratulations, Minister Li, for resolving a major threat!"

"Forgive my dullness, I don't understand what you mean, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen."
