Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Fang Zheng's face immediately darkened.

It's not that I'm worried about anything else, but if the reputation of penicillin is ruined, wouldn't I become a historical sinner!

Is this matter never going to end?

Yan Guoan was still passionately recounting: "Those fifty-odd people died in different ways, but they had one thing in common: a concave pit was pressed into their chests!"

"What's even more terrifying is that the concave pits on those prisoners' bodies were pressed out after their deaths! According to the coroner's report, many people's sternums and ribs were broken."

"The dead are paramount, but this cold-blooded demon, Fang Zheng, actually did such an outrageous thing to the deceased!"

"I once found the guards who witnessed this event and asked them about it. They were still terrified! I even heard that three of the guards present at the time suffered mental breakdowns!"

"This matter has spread widely in the city. Now, many people are afraid to walk at night, fearing that they will be captured and poisoned by the legendary demon, and then have their corpses abused."

Yan Guoan was deeply grieved, constantly pounding his chest, and lamenting: "These things, I have endured!"

"But why did Fang Zheng bring the Crown Prince along! The heir to the nation should not associate with such people!!"

"Just a few days ago, I heard that the Crown Prince and Fang Zheng openly beat up Imperial Physician Hu."

"Originally, although the Crown Prince had a somewhat mischievous nature, he could still read some books, but it was impossible for him to spend his days playing and even killing people as he does today. All of this is thanks to Fang Zheng! I implore Your Majesty to make a wise judgment!!"

Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Guoan.

Seeing his appearance of beating his chest and stamping his feet, he was a little puzzled. These dogs in the court are really good at learning. Their acting skills have improved so quickly.

Li Yuanzhao was furious upon hearing Yan Guoan's words. He clenched his fists, wishing he could jump down and punch him a few times!

How dare you talk nonsense in front of me? You're courting death!

Originally, I called you 'Teacher Yan' out of respect, but now that you're taking kindness for weakness, don't blame me for being ruthless....

But then he saw Fang Zheng gesturing to him, and Li Yuanzhao calmed down and sat back down.

Murder... corpse abuse... beating the imperial physician... the Crown Prince's involvement... these words kept ringing in Emperor Jing's ears.

Emperor Jing also began to gradually feel anger in his heart, but reason told him that there might be many problems inside. He looked at Fang Zheng and said in a deep voice: "Fang Qing, what explanation do you have?"

Fang Zheng straightened his sleeves, sighed, and said: "I did indeed poison more than fifty people."

"But the reason for this is not that I enjoy killing people, but to develop new medicines to treat the Princess's old illness...."

"At first, I listened to Imperial Physician Hu's words, believing that the Princess might have lung disease. I also had a folk remedy specifically for treating lung disease. To ensure safety, I specially used death row prisoners to test the medicine."

"I admire the deep affection between the Crown Prince and the Princess. I have never had siblings since I was a child, but seeing the Crown Prince's eagerness, I felt the same way, so this happened."

"Although this medicine failed, fortunately, the Princess's illness was cured...."

Yan Guoan looked at Fang Zheng and sneered: "Fang Zheng, are you out of your mind? Since the medicine failed, how could the Princess...."

"Minister Yan, the Princess's illness was indeed cured by Fang Zheng." Emperor Jing's voice suddenly sounded, and Yan Guoan's expression froze.

Everyone knew that the Princess was in poor health, but after she was cured, Emperor Jing never told outsiders.

He could just close the door and be happy about his own family affairs.... He didn't expect that Yan Guoan would run into the muzzle of the gun.

Yan Guoan was still unwilling to give up and gritted his teeth: "Okay! Curing the Princess's illness is a great achievement, but what about the corpse abuse!? Could it be that you also know the art of resurrection from the dead?"

Fang Zheng was a little helpless. This is really hard to say.

No one would believe him if he told the ancients about chest compressions.

But helplessly, he still opened his mouth and said: "That's not corpse abuse, that's called chest compression. If someone has a sudden illness, using this method may give them hope of being saved."

"Your Majesty, I suggest that this method be promoted throughout the land, and it will also be of great use in the army, and may save countless people."

"Nonsense! The ribs and sternum are crushed. Is that called saving people?" Yan Guoan said sharply.

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes: "Do you understand or do I understand? Did you cure the Princess or did I cure the Princess?"

"Your Majesty, these fifty-four people were carefully selected by me. Let me tell Your Majesty about them one by one."

"The first one is named Feng Sandun, a native of the capital, twenty-seven years old. In a household in the southeast of the city, he murdered the Chen family of five. The youngest daughter was only three years old and was raped..."

"............"

"The last three people are a gang, all of whom are drifters from other places. These three specialize in eating babies, believing that eating babies can make them live forever. In Rufu Township, they intercepted two pregnant women, cut open their bellies, and cooked them to eat!"

After finishing speaking, the anger in Fang Zheng's heart was also aroused. He glanced coldly at the audience and then slowly said:

"These fifty-four people are extremely sinful! I am only using them to test medicine. If it weren't for testing medicine, if I saw them, I would cut off their dog heads one by one!"

"Being able to live until after autumn is considered leniency towards them.... That's all I have to say. I will bear any punishment!"

The ministers were silent after hearing this, and Emperor Jing's brows slowly relaxed.

Fang Zheng used a calm tone to describe the evil deeds of the fifty-four people, causing a sense of horror to rise in the ears of everyone present.

These people, it is not enough to quell the people's anger if they are not killed! Simply poisoning them to death can be said to be an amnesty...

Fang Zheng's actions can be regarded as being eager for justice.

Li Yansong curiously looked at Fang Zheng in the crowd. This person seemed glib, but he didn't expect to have such ambition and such courage. It was really unexpected.

Seeing that Yan Guoan had no further actions, Emperor Jing opened his mouth and said: "These people should indeed be killed, but the country has its laws. How can you use private actions! But considering your great contribution to saving the Princess, these two things can offset each other."

Yan Guoan was also shocked after hearing this. He didn't expect... he didn't expect... that Fang Zheng would let him get away with it again! Damn it!

When he wanted to speak again, Emperor Jing had already expressed his attitude.

Yan Guoan said anxiously: "There's also Imperial Physician Hu who was..."

"Enough! A quack doctor harms people! Not to mention Fang Qing, I want to personally kill this person!" Emperor Jing was furious, and couldn't help but feel anger in his heart when he mentioned that quack doctor.

"Although Imperial Physician Hu's medical skills are not good, how can Fang Zheng beat a subordinate official? If so, where is the discipline of the court!" Yan Guoan replied without thinking.

The people around shook their heads... He has lost his mind. He doesn't even look at His Majesty's attitude in this situation.

"Teacher Yan, do you have anything else to ask? There's no need to ask others anymore, I'll tell you everything!"

Li Yuanzhao came down...
