Chapter 2582 Please (Thanks to the book friend "z hm" for the reward)
Unfortunately, most of the people that Prince Hejian brought to his farm that day were his own servants and farmhands, and most of them were wounded soldiers and veterans who had fought with Prince Hejian in the past.
The oldest among them is 42 years old, and the youngest is only 22 years old. Even though they have retired from the battlefield for many years and may not be very good at fighting, they are definitely better at dodging than ordinary tenants.
So although they were seriously injured, some of them were missing arms or had head injuries, but none of them died.
The other side suffered heavy casualties, and the key point was that a considerable number of them were accidental injuries, especially the two people from the village head's family who came to mediate. They were killed when they were trying to stop the Zheng family's tenants and were hit on the head with a hoe.
That's why County Magistrate Guo imposed such a heavy sentence, making the son of the head of the Zheng family guilty of the same crime. In fact, two sons were arrested on the other side, while only one was arrested on the Li side.
Magistrate Tang followed her out slowly, hands clasped together. Gazing at the dark clouds in the sky, he guessed it was going to rain again. He paused, sighed, and said to the clouds, "The case wasn't wrongly judged, but he was derelict in his duty when such a serious incident occurred under his jurisdiction. Furthermore, the verdict on whether the case was right or wrong hasn't been finalized yet. Who knows how it will be judged in the end?"
"What a coincidence, Magistrate Guo, what did you forget?"
County Magistrate Tang immediately withdrew his gaze from the horizon, his face serious and he looked forward seriously. He saw County Magistrate Guo, who had already walked away, standing in front of them.
County Magistrate Guo looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you talking about me?"
Manbao was about to deny it outright when County Magistrate Tang nodded, sighed, and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Old Guo, this is really difficult for you, County Magistrate."
In a word, County Magistrate Guo's expression softened a lot, and he sighed, feeling that he had a shared suffering.
Manbao looked at County Magistrate Tang, then at County Magistrate Guo, and sighed deeply. He said to County Magistrate Guo, "Thank you for your hard work, County Magistrate Guo. I see you don't look well. Would you like me to prescribe some tranquilizers for you?"
"...That's not necessary," County Magistrate Guo said. "Doctor Zhou, I came back to see you. I wanted to ask about Master Zheng's condition."
"Oh, he's passed the critical period now," Manbao said to him without hiding anything, "his life should no longer be in danger."
"Then why is he still living in the palace? I want to ask him something, but the Zheng family keeps blocking me."
If they were outside the palace, he would have a way to see the person whether he wanted to or not, but since the person was in the palace, he couldn't just break into the East Palace.
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "You can ask him questions, but he may not be able to tell you with his mouth. He can only tell you with a pen."
Not only County Magistrate Guo, but also County Magistrate Tang was stunned and asked, "Why is this?"
"He suffered a severe head injury and is currently temporarily speechless. He's staying in the palace because I want to give him acupuncture to wake up his brain and open his mind."
County Magistrate Guo & County Magistrate Tang: ...
As for Zheng Fei, they had all seen him before. He was indeed a son of an aristocratic family carefully raised by the Zheng family. But now he was speechless?
Is this a disability?
County Magistrate Guo fell silent. He now understood why the Zheng family was so angry.
But after finding out, he became even angrier and felt that they were unreasonable. If it weren't for the head of their village causing trouble, how could these things have happened?
You still want to get the person out? What are you thinking about?
When County Magistrate Guo thought of this, his body stiffened and he became thoughtful.
County Magistrate Tang also raised his eyelids and said to County Magistrate Guo in a suggestive tone, "Hasn't the Zheng family ever visited the prison?"
Of course they have investigated, but they are afraid that they did not get the information they wanted, so they want to bring the person back?
County Magistrate Guo pursed his lips and said to Zhou Man, "Sir Zhou, I would like to see Master Zheng."
Manbao hesitated for a moment, then said, "I need to ask the Dean and Master Zheng for their opinions."
County Magistrate Guo didn't force her and nodded. He looked around and said in a low voice, "Don't let the Zheng family know about this for now."
Manbao understood and nodded in agreement.
Only then did County Magistrate Guo leave.
After he had walked away, County Magistrate Tang looked at Manbao and said, "Bai Shan is often with His Majesty now. Did he tell you that this matter is related to the enclosure?"
Manbao was stunned and asked, "What does this have to do with enclosure?"
County Magistrate Tang said, "Perhaps the adults haven't mentioned it yet."
After saying this, County Magistrate Tang left without explaining to Manbao how it related to the enclosure of land.
Manbao scratched his head and had no choice but to go back to the Imperial Hospital to find Xiao Yuanzheng.
Xiao Yuanzheng had no objection to this matter and said to her, "You have asked Master Zheng. If he is willing to see you, then he can see you. If he is not willing, then forget it. He has a head injury and cannot get too excited. As for the rest, it's up to you. We are the imperial physicians and the court disputes have nothing to do with us."
Manbao nodded and went to find Master Zheng.
Well, give him a set of needles in the head by the way.
Master Zheng has already adapted to the routine of two sets of injections a day, one in the morning and one in the evening.
As soon as he saw Zhou Man, he withdrew his gaze from the window, sat down on the couch obediently, and placed his hands on his knees.
As Manbao prepared, he asked, "Master Zheng, County Magistrate Guo wants to see you and ask you about the case. Do you want to see him?"
Master Zheng was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
Manbao stopped asking questions and took out a needle to give him acupuncture. After the acupuncture, Master Zheng took a long time to utter a word, "Pen..."
Manbao waited for a moment, and found that he didn't want to say more, just a single word. He could only nod helplessly and said, "I will prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for you. But Mr. Zheng, your aphasia requires practice. Don't keep your mouth shut because you're shy. Only by practicing repeatedly can the injury heal faster. Once the blood congestion in your brain dissipates, you can regain your ability to speak as quickly as possible, otherwise it will deteriorate."
Master Zheng pursed his lips and said "hmm" after a long time, without saying another word.
Manbao had no choice but to take the things and leave.
As soon as she left the house, the palace maids and eunuchs who were guarding outside immediately surrounded her and told her, "Master Zhou, Master Zheng kicked us out again last night, and then there were strange noises coming from his room?"
Manbao asked curiously, "What's that strange sound?"
"It's just... it's very strange. It seems like it's talking, but also like it's crying. It's very strange."
Man Bao: "...You're overthinking it. I think Master Zheng is in good spirits. Since he doesn't like being served so closely, you should just not come to his room at night."
Manbao remembered something, opened the medicine box, took out a bottle of medicine and gave it to her, saying, "Nuo, you said last time that you had unbearable abdominal pain during your period. This is a honey-refined uterine warming medicine. Count the days and take it with warm water ten days before your period. Two pills a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. This bottle contains twenty pills. When your period is over, send a message to me and I will give you another kind of pill. Take it for ten days. After three months, you should feel much better."
The maid was stunned. She didn't expect Lord Zhou to remember all this. Blushing, she took the medicine bottle and said embarrassedly, "Lord Zhou, this is just a minor symptom. Why are you so worried?"
See you tomorrow
