There are five children, both boys and girls. The oldest is no more than thirteen years old, and the youngest looks only two or three years old.

"Come, give them medicine." Zhu Zan said again, pointing at the children.

Sure enough, it comes again.

Sure enough, this kind of thing happened again.

I know there are no secrets here, and I know that we can't speak carelessly.

After asking someone to verify it, Lu Qianhu brought some people 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? Their ears are long, their hands are long too, how come they come so easily?

The doctors looked anxious.

"My Lord, you can't do this." said Doctor Feng.

"I don't have any acne..." Miss Jun couldn't help but say.

Her acne virus doesn’t actually need to be verified, you can just use it directly, so…

Old Doctor Feng interrupted her with a glare.

"No, we can't use living people to test medicine." He said, "We doctors can't kill people in order to save them. This is absolutely not feasible."

Miss Jun was silent.

She was not a healer or a medical practitioner, so she had tested drugs on living people before.

But it was out of kindness that these doctors followed her here and helped her, and now she could not blame their kindness.

This is really embarrassing.

"Who told you to test the medicine on living people?" Zhu Zan said with some impatience.

ah?

Everyone in the Buddhist temple was stunned.

If we don’t use living people, then what kind of people should we use?

"Of course they used a dead person." Zhu Zan said, and he stretched out his long arm and picked up a boy about ten years old. He raised his chin to the doctors and said, "Here, he is."

Is this guy kidding?

The doctors stared at Zhu Zan with wide eyes, then at the boy he had pulled over.

The boy was rather skinny, with messy hair, and looked like a street beggar, except that his eyes, hidden by his hair, flashed a hint of intelligence.

Is this a beggar pulled from the street?

Compared to the Jinyiwei who don't treat people as human beings, these children of the powerful and wealthy are slightly better. In their eyes, only these beggars are not considered human beings.

However, in the eyes of these doctors, beggars are also human beings.

Old Doctor Feng sighed.

"My Lord, as long as he is alive, no matter how miserable his life is, he is still alive," he said.

Zhu Zan sneered and patted the boy on the shoulder.

"Come on, tell them whether you are dead or alive," he said.

The boy looked at the doctors.

"My name is Zhou Jing, and I'm from Zhending," he said.

So what?

The doctors looked at him in confusion. The child introduced himself calmly. He was not frightened like those people who were captured by Lu Qianhu. He should know what he was here for, right?

Or did you pay money to buy his life?

"My grandfather is Zhou Bentang." The boy Zhou Jing continued.

Zhou Bentang?

This name sounds familiar.

An idea flashed through the doctors' minds.

Who is it?

Suddenly a doctor exclaimed and looked at the child in surprise.

"Zhou Bentang? Is it the Zhou family, the wealthy family in Zhending Prefecture?" he said, "the Zhou Bentang who was convicted of treason?"

Collaboration with the enemy is a serious crime punishable by the execution of the entire family. This kind of thing does not happen every day, so when this doctor shouted it out, the other doctors also thought of who Zhou Bentang was.

Just last winter, despite the strict defense of Duke Chengguo, the Jin army invaded Zhending Prefecture. Many people were killed or injured, and the prefect died defending the city. The court was furious and finally found out that there was a traitor colluding with the enemy. This traitor was Zhou Bentang, a wealthy family in Zhending Prefecture.

Eventually he was escorted to the capital, where he was sentenced to execution along with his entire family. He will be executed after the imperial examination in March this year.

The whole family was executed, and of course all of Zhou Bentang's descendants were thrown into prison and waited to be executed.

This child...

It turned out to be a prisoner awaiting death.

The doctors looked confused.

"They are all." Zhu Zan said, pointing at the remaining children. "These are all Zhou's children. Do you think they are still alive?"

Although they are still alive, they will die in another month. They are truly... dead.

Although these children appear alive, they will soon die.

Then they really can't be considered living people.

The doctors were silent for a while.

"I told the Emperor that if they survive the drug trial, I will spare their death penalty. If they don't survive..." Zhu Zan patted the boy on the shoulder, "You won't lose anything."

There is really no loss.

The doctors had complicated expressions and didn't know what to say.

"Although I have already asked you in the cell." Zhu Zan looked at the children, "I will ask you again here in front of these doctors, are you willing to give it a try?"

"Yes." Zhou Jing was the first to speak loudly.

The children behind him also started to speak.

"Yes," they said loudly.

There is also a hint of babyishness in the voice.

"I want to find my mother." The two or three-year-old child added, shaking the sleeve of his sister beside him.

The girl hurriedly grabbed his hand.

"You can go see mother after you finish your work." She soothed him softly.

There was something sour in the voice.

In fact, they would never see their mother again.

None of the doctors said anything.

Zhou Jing looked a little uneasy, and he couldn't help but take a step forward.

"We really want to, we really want to, let's try it," he said, his voice urgent and hoarse.

Let’s try, let’s try and survive, let’s try to preserve the Zhou family’s bloodline.

Old Doctor Feng suddenly felt a little sad, and he couldn't help turning his head away.

Collaboration is a great crime, and they hate harming the people, but these children are innocent after all.

"Doctor Feng, just give it a try." Miss Jun said.

Doctor Feng didn't say anything, and neither did the other doctors.

Silence means 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 little child was also led in.

"Don't be afraid, it's very simple." Miss Jun said, motioning them to sit down.

"We're not afraid." The children said loudly, looking nervous.

"Don't be afraid." The child also learned to say.

He was being held in a chair by his sister.

Miss Jun smiled, picked up a copper tube, and looked at Doctor Feng again.

"Doctor Feng, you guys should do it this time," she said, "so that we can adapt as quickly as possible. We may not have enough manpower in the future, so everyone needs to be familiar and skilled."

This is truly a trial, and even doctors like them want to take the opportunity to try it out.

Doctor Feng took a deep breath and answered yes.
