"Why not?" "How can I not know if my leg is broken or not?" Duan Lun said angrily.”
Cui Mingan and Dou Gui were more cautious,"There are so many people at the scene. How are we going to check? King Qi, if you want to deceive me, you've miscalculated.”
"That's simple. We just need to draw lots." All the people who were knocking on the watchtower, whether they were students of the directorate or officials of the imperial court, took out a hundred people and went up to the Xuanwu Gate tower to check on Minister Duan's injuries. Of course, Assistant Minister Cui didn't need to draw lots and could just go upstairs.”
"Draw lots?" This was very fair! But I wonder if Your Majesty will allow it?”
"Correct!" said Li Er. You 'er's words are what I mean! Moreover, not only these people, the Supreme Court Minister Zhang Yungu, the Imperial Censor Xiao Yu, the Ministry of Justice Minister Li Daozong, and the Imperial Physician Liang Zheng of the Imperial Medicine Bureau also participated in the inspection. No matter who breaks the law, I will…punish them according to the law!”
The Supreme Court, the Imperial Censorate, and the Ministry of Justice, the three highest officials of the three departments came forward. This was the legendary joint hearing of the three departments.
The Chief Physician of the Imperial Physician Bureau was the legendary Chief Physician. In front of Li Er, the conclusion made by these four people together was the most authoritative judicial appraisal in the world.
At the same time, the conclusion was that it was impossible to change the rules and must be punished according to the law.
This was the tacit understanding between Li You and Li Er!
After Li You heard Xue Dading mention the Duan family's usury, he guessed Li Er's disgust for Duan Lun.
According to historical records, Li Er had dismissed Yang Siqi from his position as Minister of Works because Duan Lun had made Yang Siqi a puppet. He was just looking for an excuse to flare up.
Similarly, when Li Er saw Li You's expression, he also guessed Li You's thoughts-there was something wrong with Duan Lun's leg!
He agreed without hesitation.
Immediately, 100 people were selected from the 10,000 people present and went to the tower of the Black Tortoise Sect. Duan Lun, whose leg was broken, was naturally carried here.
Duan Lun's face was bruised and swollen. His legs were wrapped in a thick white cloth and tied with two pieces of poplar wood. He looked extremely miserable.
He pointed at his broken leg and said,"Your Majesty, look. King Qi has beaten this lowly subject to this state without distinguishing right from wrong. You must seek justice for this lowly subject!"”
Li Er snorted and said,"I can't listen to your one-sided story." Zhang Yungu, untie the white cloth on Duan Lun's leg in front of me and the world!”
"Yes!"
Zhang Yungu was in his forties this year. He was not tall and was even a little thin. His face was dark and he looked like an old farmer in the fields.
However, no one in the court dared to ignore this person!
If Wei Zheng, the Imperial Censor, was a great troll of the Tang court, then Zhang Yungu, the Minister of Judicial Review, was the pillar of the Tang law. He was upright and upright, and everyone in the court admired him!
No one had any objections to him untying the white cloth on Duan Lun's leg.
However, just as Zhang Yungu touched the white cloth on Duan Lun's leg-
"Ah!"
Duan Lun let out a scream. It sounded like a ghost's cry or a wolf's howl, but it didn't sound human!
Zhang Yungu frowned and said unhappily,""I haven't even used my strength yet and Minister Duan is already shouting like this. Even if you want to pretend to be pitiful, can you at least pretend to be more reliable?”
In fact, Duan Lun wasn't pretending.
Just now, Li You had activated the Tendon and Bone Connecting Ring, and the defined recovery time was five minutes!
Oh my god, what kind of concept was it to concentrate a hundred days of bone fracture pain into five minutes?
It was equivalent to the greatest pain that a human could endure!
It was already good enough that Duan Lun didn't faint on the spot.
He gritted his teeth and said,"No…I'm not pretending. Zhang Siqing misunderstood."?I don't know why, but my leg suddenly hurts, but…perhaps my injury has suddenly worsened.”
"Humph, Minister Duan's injury worsening is really a coincidence.”
Zhang Yungu mumbled and continued to untie the white cloth wrapped around Duan Lun's thigh.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
As the white cloth was untied, Duan Lun's screams could be heard.
Those who didn't know better would think that Zhang Yungu was doing something unspeakable to him.
"A real man," said Yuchi Gong impatiently,"his head fell off, and there's a bowl-sized scar. Wasn't it just a broken leg? It's already been a night. Why are you screaming?”
"This Duke of E doesn't understand, does he?" Hou Junji asked in a strange tone. Minister Duan was a crying child. If he didn't act pitiful, how could he gain everyone's sympathy and punish King Qi? However, it was a pity that going too far was as bad as falling short. It was inevitable that people would think that he was pretending.”
In truth, Hou Junji and Yuchi Gong aside, even the people outside the Black Tortoise Gate looked at each other in dismay, feeling that Duan Lun's call was too fake.
"That's not right! Minister Duan was fine just now, so why was he shouting so loudly now?”
"Even if it's just for show, it can't be so exaggerated, right? Was Minister Duan treating everyone like fools?”
"It's fine if he deceives everyone like they're fools. He still has Zhang Yungu, the Minister of Justice, Xiao Yu, the Minister of Justice, Li Daozong, and His Majesty! This Minister Duan was too audacious!”
"Hey, tell me, he dares to lie like this here. Could there really be a problem with that leg injury?”
……
People's discussions continued. Not only was Duan Lun enduring extreme pain physically, but he was also being wronged mentally. He was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
He thought to himself,'My leg really hurts!'
Do you think I, Duan Lun, don't care about my reputation?
Do you think I want to be like a clown in front of so many people, wailing like a ghost and howling like a wolf?
Wasn't it because his thigh was too painful and he had no choice?
Why can't you understand?
Just you wait!
Soon, the white cloth on my thigh will be undone.
At that time, you will be able to prove that my leg is really broken, and you will understand how wrong you were just now!
Good, good. The white cloth was almost finished, leaving only a thin layer. At that time, I'll see what you guys have to say.
"Look! Everyone, look!" Duan Lun pointed at his legs and shouted excitedly,""My leg, it's really…Sigh! Why doesn't it hurt…Uh…"
It only took Duan Lun an instant to go from heart-wrenching pain to no pain at all.
As soon as he said that, he realized that something was wrong and quickly shut up.
However, it was already too late!
Zhang Yungu sneered and said,""Nonsense, Minister Duan's leg is intact, how could it hurt?”
