Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 821: Witness Hua Tuo
Feng Fang was distraught, but other ministers did not give up. In their eyes, they still held the initiative. Even if they had lost the support of the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Cui family of Boling and the Xun family of Yingchuan, the power they had built up in these days was enough to win.

Zhao Rong spoke first: "I believe that what your majesty said is correct. It is not surprising that other officials have different opinions. However, I think that the law is the foundation of the country and must be strict. General Wang Han committed murder, and the evidence is solid and the facts are all there. According to the law, killing someone means paying with one's life. This is the way of heaven. I hope your majesty will accept it."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up to refute him.

"I dare not agree with what Guanglu Dafu said."

Zhao Rong turned his head and saw that it was Henan Yin Mengjian: "Oh? What does Henan Yin have to say?"

After Meng Jian paid his respects to the emperor, he said, "I think that Guanglu Dafu's words are wrong in at least two places."

He held up two fingers and said, "First, I have carefully questioned the two generals who were present that day, as well as the captain of the restaurant's guards, and reviewed many records from the Luoyang Order Office. I found that all the testimonies prove that it was Master Feng who ordered his followers to take action first, and General Dameng had no choice but to defend himself."

"Second, it was mentioned in many testimonies that General Dameng only injured Master Feng Luan and made him unconscious. When his followers examined him on the spot, Master Feng still had a pulse. As for whether he died later due to his injuries, this was only the Feng family's statement, and there is no other evidence."

After he said this, Feng Fang, who had been feeling somewhat disheartened, suddenly stood up.

"Henan Yin, what do you mean by that? My grandson has always been weak, and he can barely even tie up a chicken. General Da Meng is a top-notch general in the army. His punch hit my poor Luan'er, causing him to spit blood and fly out on the spot, with broken ribs. When he was sent back to the mansion, he died without waiting for treatment. Are you saying that I deliberately killed my own grandson and put the blame on General Wang Han? Your words are worthy of death!"

Then, he turned around and knelt in front of Liu He: "I beg Your Majesty to punish Henan Yin for his slander!"

Liu He smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, Grand Minister of Agriculture, you don't have to be like this. I have said that all the ministers can discuss this case. No matter what they say, whether it is right or wrong, they are all innocent. Although Henan Yin's idea is very unreasonable, it is also a family opinion. Please don't worry about it, Grand Minister of Agriculture."

The flesh on Feng Fang's cheeks began to tremble, and she seemed very excited.

Upon seeing this, Cao Ling immediately stood up and expressed his support for Feng Fang.

"Your Majesty, Henan Yin's words seem reasonable, but they are just quibbling over words and making random guesses. As far as I know, a servant in the restaurant angered Master Feng, so Master Feng taught him a lesson. General Wang Han and the other two generals tried to stop Master Feng without knowing right from wrong, and they relied on their status to speak rudely, which made Master Feng unhappy, so he ordered his followers to take action to vent his anger."

Meng Jian sneered: "Humph, the Imperial Household also knows that it was Feng Luan who ordered the action first, what else do you have to say?"

"Wait a minute." Cao Ling interrupted him. "The laws of our dynasty clearly state that anyone who defends against harm done to others must do so against the perpetrator himself. This means that if Master Feng ordered his followers to attack General Wang Han, then General Wang Han would only be within the scope of defense stipulated by the law if he fought back against these followers. But he attacked Master Feng directly, and in this situation, he is no longer protected by the law."

"In addition, what the Henan Yin said about Master Feng's cause of death being unknown is even more nonsense. When Master Feng was sent back to the mansion, the Grand Minister of Agriculture immediately went to the clinic of the Divine Doctor Hua Tuo and invited the Divine Doctor's disciples to treat the Master. However, before they arrived at the mansion, the Master had already died. The cause of death was a heavy blow to the chest, which broke his ribs and pierced his heart and lungs. Although the family servants were loyal to their master and rushed back to the mansion with the Master, they were still unable to save him. This matter can be proved by the Divine Doctor's disciples, so how can it be said that there is no other evidence?"

While speaking, Cao Ling secretly pulled the corner of Feng Fang's clothes, and Feng Fang reacted.

"Yes, this is absolutely true. If Your Majesty does not believe it, you can summon the disciple of the miracle doctor to come and confront me. If I tell even a single lie, I will be cut into pieces!"

Seeing that he was so sure of what he said, Meng Jian and others were speechless for a moment.

Liu He said, "I naturally trust the disciples taught by Mr. Hua Tuo. Moreover, both of you are not the kind of people who speak without thinking, and what you say is reasonable. I think there is no need to summon that doctor to confront him."

Then, he looked at the ministers and asked, "Do any of you have different opinions?"

Feng Fang and others glanced at the ministers around them and saw that no one was talking, including Wang Yun and others. They all stood where they were and had no intention of coming out to refute Cao Ling. They secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although there were some unexpected events today, we were able to escape without any danger. I think Your Majesty no longer has any excuse to save Da Meng."

Du Ji stood up and said, "Now the evidence is solid. General Wang Han killed the younger generation of the family without reason. It is not justified and not allowed by law. I ask Your Majesty to issue an order to punish him according to the law to show Your Majesty's impartiality."

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to execute him to show your Majesty's impartiality."

Many ministers shouted in unison.

"Wait." A voice stopped them, and it was Qian Li who walked out slowly.

"Your Majesty, I have a question that I don't understand, and I would like to ask the Minister of Agriculture to explain it to me."

"Approved." Feng Fang's heart sank. If something unexpected happened again, he would feel that things were not going well.

Qian Li turned around and looked at him, but before he spoke, he bowed to him respectfully, which forced Feng Fang to return the greeting.

Qian Li said, "May I ask the Minister of Agriculture, what you just said to the Imperial Household, that your grandson's ribs were broken by General Wang Han, and the ribs were not pierced into his heart and lungs, and then the servants rushed all the way back to the mansion, but he still died. I wonder if this is true?"

Feng Fang frowned and said, "Of course, how dare I lie in front of your majesty?"

"That's the best." Qian Li smiled slightly, then turned to Liu He.

"I beg Your Majesty to summon someone to the palace."

Liu He asked: "Oh? Who is it?"

Qian Li said: "The miraculous doctor Hua Tuo."

These four short words shocked Feng Fang and others.

"Okay, I'm sure."

Then, Gong Saner shouted, "Call Hua Tuo to the palace..."

Soon after, a familiar figure walked into the hall. It was Hua Tuo, the head of the clinic set up by Liu He himself, who was also known as a miracle doctor.

"I am a commoner..." Hua Tuo was about to salute but was stopped by Liu He.

"Mr. Yuanhua, there is no need to be so polite. I invited you to the palace because Zuo Fengyi has something to ask you. Please answer truthfully."

"I would never dare to lie. Your Majesty and Zuo Fengyi, please feel free to ask."

Qian Li walked up to Hua Tuo, bowed, and asked, "I don't know much about medicine, but I heard a theory not long ago that I found very strange. I hope you can enlighten me."

Hua Tuo hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "I dare not, I dare not."

Qian Li said, "I heard that a man had broken ribs and the bone pierced his heart and lungs. He was taken away by his followers and a doctor was invited to see him. Before the doctor could see him, he slowly died in his own house. I am really curious. Ordinary people have to breathe all the time. If their heart and lungs are pierced, can they still hold on for a long time before slowly dying? So I would like to ask you for your advice."

As soon as he asked this question, Feng Fang and the others turned pale.

Feng Fang knelt down in front of Liu He and said, "I have lost my beloved grandson, and now I have to endure such slander. My reputation has been ruined. I have no face to live in this world. I will die in this hall to prove my innocence!"

After saying that, he stood up and was about to crash into a large pillar beside him, but Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and others quickly ran over and stopped him.

"Let me go...let me go...let me die..."

Liu He shouted, "Don't be so presumptuous in the palace or during the court meeting. Grand Minister of Agriculture, I just want to find out the truth and give justice to your grandson. Why do you have to do this, my dear minister?"

Then he looked at Hua Tuo and said, "Please speak frankly, my great doctor."

Hua Tuo said: "I obey your order."

He looked at Qian Li and said, "What Zuo Fengyi just said is really contrary to medical principles. When the heart and lungs of ordinary people are punctured, the lungs are damaged, and the blood in the heart gushes out instantly, which will cause breathing difficulties. Even if the puncture is not deep and the injury is not serious, you must lie down immediately. If you run and jolt at this time, you will definitely not survive for more than a few dozen breaths. Therefore, what Zuo Fengyi said just now is really nonsense."

As soon as Hua Tuo finished speaking, Feng Fang, Zhao Rong and others collapsed to the ground.
