"Undamaged? Impossible! That's impossible!"
Duan Lun couldn't believe his ears and looked at his legs.
However, the truth was despairing!
There was no blood, no swelling, no pain on his legs. There was nothing wrong with them! If he exerted a little more strength, it seemed like he could stand up at any time!
It was as if yesterday's experience was just a nightmare!
Normal people all hoped to have a pair of healthy legs. But now, Duan Lun didn't want it! He didn't want it at all!
Because if his legs were healed, he would lose his life!
"What…what's going on? There must be a problem here!" Duan Lun's face was filled with disbelief.
"Whether there is a problem or not, Minister Duan knows very well! I only know to settle the case according to the evidence!”
After that, he ignored Duan Lun and turned to Li Er. He bowed slightly and said,""I have been investigating cases for nearly twenty years. What kind of injuries have I not seen? In my opinion, not only are Minister Duan's legs intact, they have never been broken!”
"I agree!" The Minister of Justice, Li Daozong, bowed slightly.
"I agree!" Imperial Censor Xiao Yu also expressed his opinion.
Next was the chief of the Shang Medicine Bureau, Liang Zheng.
He had the lowest official rank, so he gave Duan Lun the most detailed examination and said seriously,""I can guarantee with my life that Minister Duan's legs are very healthy and have never suffered any fractures!”
"This is impossible! That's impossible!"
Before Li Er could say anything, Cui Mingan and Dou Gui cried out in surprise. They came to Duan Lun and looked at him carefully.
It was over!
It was all over!
Dou Gui was quite proficient in Qihuang techniques, and with just a glance, he almost fainted.
Duan Lun's leg was completely unharmed, without even a scratch!
This also meant that…the false accusation was established!
"You brat, get up!"
Bang!
Dou Gui was a military officer and was born with great strength. He lifted Duan Lun up and shouted,"Why? Why did you lie to us? We're all going to die because of you!”
Cui Mingan was so angry that his eyes turned red."In order to get us to help you vent your anger, you fabricated a lie and disregarded our lives. I…I'll fight it out with you!”
After saying that, he threw a punch at Duan Lun's face.
To be honest, Cui Mingan's strength was not any weaker than Li You's yesterday. However, Duan Lun didn't care about the pain in his body at all!
His mind was filled with thoughts about how his big thigh had recovered!
His legs were clearly broken by Li You. Why was it better now?
What was the reason?
Duan Lun stole a glance at Li You's face. When he saw Li You looking at him, he lowered his hands and made a beheading gesture. A meaningful smile appeared in his eyes.
Could it be…that he was behind this?
Yes!
Why is he so sure that my leg isn't injured that he wants to examine my injury in front of everyone? This is digging a hole for me to jump into!
He…he could actually revive a broken leg in an instant!
Heavens, what kind of enemy did I provoke?
Duan Lun finally understood when he was about to die. He shouted,"You two have to believe me! My leg really broke yesterday! Li You had yao arts that could revive a broken leg! He's framing me!"
However, what was the use of Duan Lun understanding it?
A broken leg instantly resurrected. That was a divine technique. Who would believe it?
When Cui Min Gan and Dou Gui heard this, they became even angrier.
At this moment, all thoughts of showing Li Er the strength of the great clans and the ambition to cancel the imperial examinations had completely vanished from their minds!
Now, their minds were filled with anger!
He vented his anger on Duan Lun!
Our families are rich, our wives and concubines are beautiful, and we live in luxury…I wonder how beautiful our lives are! However, because I was deceived by you, Duan Lun, I will lose everything!
But now, Duan Lun was still trying to be stubborn and spouting nonsense about Li You being able to instantly revive a broken leg!
Are they playing us like three-year-olds?
"What do you mean King Qi knows yao arts? I think you, Duan Lun, are the one who wants to deceive the public!
"The evidence is conclusive, and you still dare to deny it? We'll beat you to death!"
Cui Mingan and Dou Gui knocked Duan Lun to the ground and kicked him crazily! It was as if the hatred in her heart would not be appeased unless she killed him!
Seeing that it was not a problem, Li Er reprimanded loudly,"Stop! How could a minister fight in court? Men! Tie up Duan Lun, Cui Mingan, and Dou Gui!”
"Yes!"
Two warriors in front of the palace stepped forward and tied the three of them up.
Li Er looked around again and said,"Alright, everyone else, go and take a look at Minister Duan's leg. She wanted to see if he was really injured or if he was deliberately framing her.”
"Yes."
It was still the same sentence. The nearly ten thousand people present were mainly the officials of the Clear Stream and the students of the directorate. Most of them were not the children of the five surnames or the Seven Wangs, or the trusted aides of Dou Gui, Duan Lun, and the others.
They had been incited by the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs.
Think about it, a prince of the imperial court had broken the legs of the Minister of Works in broad daylight.
How vile was this behavior?
How could everyone not be indignant?
Therefore, even though these people were causing trouble with Duan Lun and the others, they were actually neutral. He would stand on the side that was reasonable.
The same was true for the people who were drawn.
After examining Duan Lun's legs, everyone's stance changed immediately!
"Minister Duan's leg looks fine!”
"Seriously, even if you want to fake it, you have to make it look real!”
"How dare you falsely accuse a Prince of the Imperial Court!”
"I heard that this Minister Duan is sanctimonious and righteous on the surface. In fact, you can really be called bold…"
"I've also heard that the Duan family is a loan shark!”
"More than that! Wei Yunqi died unjustly!"
……
These people discussed animatedly. The dirty things that the Duan family had done were actually gradually known by everyone.
In the end, although the Duan family had done bad things, they had never had any clear evidence. Therefore, only a few people knew about the Duan family's evil deeds. Even Empress Zhangsun was not aware of it. It was because of this that the officials and students of the directorate were bewitched to stand up for Duan Lun.
But now, Duan Lun had been caught with conclusive evidence for his false accusation, and people began to doubt his character. The dirty things he had done were gradually exposed by people with ulterior motives.
In the end, the 100 people who drew lots were represented by the directorate student Shangguan Li. He reported to Li Er,"This humble subject and the others have checked and confirmed that Minister Duan's legs are intact. He was definitely not beaten!”
"Very good. Everyone who drew lots, go down and tell everyone what you saw.”
"Yes!"
The nearly 100 people who had climbed up the Black Tortoise Gate tower went down and told everyone what they had seen.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
What was that? Duan Lun's thigh was intact?!
He was lying!
He was falsely accusing King Qi!
With so many people saying the same thing, it couldn't be fake, right? One had to know that among these people, there were his familiar classmates and good friends!
Thinking about it, no matter how foolish King Qi was, he wouldn't go to the yamen and break the Minister's thigh.
One had to know that King Qi was blessed by the heavens and acknowledged by Zhan Lu!
Why did he believe this nonsense?
Right, five surnames and seven Wangs!
They had used his trust! If this news didn't come from their mouths, how could they believe it?
It seemed that he had to think twice before doing anything in the future. These five surnames and seven Wangs were not reliable either!
People always liked to push their mistakes to others.
For a time, everyone looked at the people from the Five Families and Seven Wangs with suspicion.
The five surnames and seven Wangs had their momentum plummet!
Their reputation plummeted!
It was extremely difficult to establish a reputation, but it only took an instant to destroy it.
If they wanted to incite these scholars to cause trouble, it would not be as easy as it was today!
Li Er nodded in satisfaction and said seriously,"Zhang Yungu of the Supreme Court, Xiao Yu of the Imperial Censor, and Li Daozong of the Ministry of Justice, do you think Duan Lun, Cui Mingan, and Dou Gui are guilty of false accusation?”
"Yes!" The three of them said in unison.
"How should we punish those who falsely accuse a prince of rebellion?”
"The three of them should be executed immediately! All males over the age of sixteen in the family were beheaded, and all males and females under the age of sixteen were confiscated into the government as slaves.”
"Very good!" Li Er looked at Cui Min Gan with a smile and said,"What you said just now was very good. If a prince breaks the law, he shall be punished with the people. Today, I will punish you according to the law. Are you convinced?”
