There were five children, both boys and girls. The oldest was no more than thirteen years old, and the youngest looked to be only two or three years old.
"Come, give them medicine." Zhu Zan said again, pointing to the children.
Sure enough, it came again.
Sure enough, this happened again.
You know there are no secrets here, and you know you can't talk nonsense.
After saying that someone would come and verify it, Lu Qianhu brought someone to them to test the medicine.
After saying that this medicine was for children, Prince Chengguo brought a few more children over.
Why are these people’s ears so long? They have long ears and long hands, so how can they come so easily?
The doctors looked anxious.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this." Old Doctor Feng said.
"I don't have acne..." Miss Jun couldn't help but say.
Her pox poison does not actually need to be verified, it can be used directly, so...
Old Doctor Feng interrupted her with a glare.
"No, we must not use living people to test medicine," he said. "We doctors must not kill people first to save them. This is absolutely unfeasible."
Miss Jun was silent.
She is not a doctor or a doctor, so she has done this before using living people to test medicine.
But it was because of their benevolence that these doctors followed her here. She could not blame their benevolence for helping her like this.
This is really embarrassing.
"Who said you should use living people to test the medicine?" Zhu Zan said, with a bit of impatience.
ah?
Everyone in the Buddhist temple was stunned for a moment.
If you don’t need living people? Then who should you use?
"Of course it's a dead man." Zhu Zan said, stretched out his long hand, picked up a boy of about ten years old, raised his chin to the doctors, "Here, he is."
What kind of joke is this guy kidding?
The doctors looked at Zhu Zan with wide eyes, and then at the boy he pulled over.
The boy's body was a little thin, and his hair was a little messy. He looked like a beggar on the street, but the eyes covered by his hair were vaguely sparkling.
Is this a beggar brought from the street?
Compared to Jin Yiwei who don't regard people as human beings, these powerful children are slightly better. In their eyes, these beggars don't count as human beings.
However, in the eyes of doctors like them, beggars are human beings too.
Old Doctor Feng sighed.
"Your Majesty, as long as he lives, no matter how miserable his life is, he is still alive," he said.
Zhu Zan laughed and patted the boy on the shoulder.
"Come, tell them whether you are dead or alive," he said.
The boy looked at the doctors.
"My name is Zhou Jing, from Zhending." He said.
So what?
The doctors looked at him in confusion. The child introduced himself calmly, without being as frightened as those who were captured by Lu Qianhu. He should know what he is here for, right?
Or maybe you gave him money and bought his life?
"My grandfather Zhou Bentang." The boy Zhou Jing continued.
Zhou Bentang?
This name is somewhat familiar.
An idea flashed through the minds of the doctors.
Who is he?
Suddenly a doctor shouted and looked at the child with a surprised expression.
"Zhou Bentang? It's the Zhou family from Zhending Prefecture!" he said, "The Zhou Bentang who was convicted of collaborating with the enemy?"
Collaboration with the enemy is a serious crime that can lead to a whole family being executed. This kind of thing does not happen every day, so when this doctor called out, other doctors also thought about who this week's doctor was.
Just at the beginning of winter last year, the Jin people invaded Zhending Mansion under the tight defense of Duke Cheng. The people suffered many casualties. The prefect died defending the city. The court was furious. In the end, it was found that there was an insider who collaborated with the enemy.
The thief is Zhou Bentang, a wealthy family in Zhending Mansion.
Finally, he was escorted to Beijing and sentenced to death. He will be executed after passing the exam in March this year.
The whole family was executed, so of course all the descendants of the clan that week were sent to prison together to be executed.
This kid...
It turned out to be a prisoner awaiting death.
The doctors looked complicated.
"They are all," Zhu Zan said, pointing to the remaining children, "These are all children of the Zhou family. Do you think they are still alive?"
Although they are still alive, they will die in another month. This is really...death.
Although these children appear to be alive, they will soon die.
Then they really can't be considered alive.
The doctors were silent for a while.
"I told His Majesty the Emperor that if they come to test the medicine and survive, they will be spared the death penalty. If they don't survive..." Zhu Zan patted the boy on the shoulder, "You have nothing to lose.
"
There's really nothing to lose.
The doctors looked complicated and didn't know what to say.
"Although I have already asked you in the cell." Zhu Zan looked at the children, "Here in front of these doctors, I ask again, are you willing to give it a try?"
"Yes." Zhou Jing was the first to say loudly.
Several children behind him also spoke one after another.
"Yes," they said loudly.
This voice is also mixed with the sound of milk.
"I want to find my mother." The two or three-year-old child added, waving the sleeves of the sister beside him.
The girl quickly held his hand.
"You can go see your mother after you finish your work." She comforted in a low voice.
There was a bit of sourness in this voice.
In fact, they will never see their mother again.
None of the doctors spoke.
Zhou Jing looked a little uneasy, and he couldn't help but take a step forward.
"We are really willing, we are really willing, let us try." He said, his voice urgent and hoarse and trembling.
Give it a try, try to survive, let them try to preserve the blood of the Zhou family.
Old Doctor Feng's nose suddenly felt sore, and he couldn't help but turn his head and look away.
Collaboration with the enemy is a serious crime, and they hate harming the people, but these children are innocent after all.
"Mr. Feng, just give it a try," Miss Jun said.
Old Doctor Feng didn't speak, and neither did the other doctors.
Silence is consent.
Miss Jun waved to the children.
"Come," she said.
Zhou Jing's eyes flashed with excitement, and he stepped forward without hesitation. The other children followed him without hesitation, and the children were also led forward.
"Don't be afraid, it's very simple." Miss Jun said, motioning for them to sit down.
"We are not afraid." The children said loudly, looking nervous.
"Don't be afraid." The child also imitated and said.
He was being held on a chair by his sister.
Miss Jun smiled, picked up a copper pipe, and looked at Dr. Feng again.
"Doctor Feng, you can do it this time," she said, "so that you can adapt as soon as possible. We may not have enough manpower in the future, so everyone must be familiar and skilled."
This is really a trial, and even doctors like them want to take the opportunity to try it out.
Old Doctor Feng took a deep breath and answered yes.
