When Fengyun saw that everyone was kneeling waiting for Fengyun to announce the imperial edict, he opened it.
When he saw the contents inside, he was stunned.
The imperial edict given to him by the queen did not contain any horrifying remarks, nor did it mention pardoning anyone.
Because it is completely blank and has no content.
But it was stamped with Liu Bian's imperial seal.
Feng Yun smiled sweetly. He Lian was really nice to him.
Now you can only seize the opportunity yourself.
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, hereby decrees: Pardon Xu Chu and his family!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!"
After announcing the imperial edict, Fengyun immediately closed it and put it away.
No regard was given to anyone present.
He was afraid of being exposed.
If He Lian had told him earlier, he would have picked up his pen and filled it in himself.
When Fengyun put away the imperial edict, Xu Chu and his sister immediately shouted:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!"
But the county magistrate, who was still kneeling on the ground, noticed something was wrong.
"I don't know what this gentleman's name is. Are the people who read the imperial edicts Huangmen the only ones who can do it? I don't think you are Huangmen, so how can you read the imperial edict?"
Hearing the other party questioning him, Feng Yun scolded:
"I'm Fengyun, a third-rank bandit-suppressing general. His Majesty and the Empress even specifically asked me to read this. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"Then may I have a look?"
Feng Yun didn't expect that the county magistrate would not buy into this and continued to insist:
"Then, sir, could you please let me take a look at the imperial edict?"
Fengyun also felt guilty this time.
After all, there was nothing in the imperial edict.
He immediately shouted angrily: "How dare you! How dare you blaspheme the imperial edict?"
"Sir, I am also an official appointed by the court and have the authority to verify the authenticity of the imperial edict."
"How dare you, a petty official like you, question me? Have you ever seen the imperial edict?"
This is a rare case of using an official position to oppress others in Fengyun.
One is of the third rank, the other is of the seventh rank.
In his eyes, the county magistrate was not worthy of his respect at all.
"Sir, don't worry about me. I have my own way of verifying the authenticity."
"Hmph! If you dare to question the authenticity, I won't show you. What can you do to me? Go ahead and sue me if you dare. Now release him immediately."
If this person were to confront him head-on, Feng Yun wouldn't be afraid of him.
Anyway, he won't show the imperial edict today. If this guy makes trouble in the court, the queen will naturally come out to speak for him.
What is there for him to be afraid of?
"snort!"
The county magistrate hummed a word, then thought of something and said:
"But this man isn't Xu Chu's parent. He's just a murderer. Should he be released too?"
Fengyun was stunned. Was this a misunderstanding?
So he immediately ordered Xu Chu to go and check.
After getting Fengyun's permission, Xu Chu strode forward and brushed aside the death row prisoner's hair, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"General, I don't know this man."
Just when Fengyun didn't want to care, the death row prisoner started shouting.
"Sir, it's unjust. I didn't kill anyone."
"Sir, it's unjust. I didn't kill anyone."
“…”
The death row prisoner kept shouting, and Fengyun could no longer ignore it.
He sneered at the county magistrate:
"Well, I've witnessed a miscarriage of justice in your Qiao County. How dare you, the county magistrate, take human life so lightly? Come, arrest this magistrate. I want His Majesty to re-examine the criminal."
Now that the yamen runners didn't need to take action, Xu Chu would never miss such a good opportunity.
He immediately flew forward and pushed the county magistrate to the ground.
"Your dog management will allow you to take human lives lightly."
As he said this, he kicked him hard.
At this moment, all the yamen runners were stunned where they were.
On one side is his immediate superior, and on the other side is the imperial envoy.
No matter what they did, they would offend one of them, so they simply did nothing.
Feng Yun is awe-inspiring without even getting angry. As a third-rank military general, he naturally carries an air of majesty.
This made the yamen runners even more afraid to take action.
Fengyun slowly walked up to the death row prisoner and said:
"What's your name? Why were you sentenced to death? Why do you say you were wrongly accused? If you can explain it clearly, I will release you today."
"Yes, sir. I am a doctor named Hua Tuo. I was invited to Qiao County to treat a patient, but unexpectedly, the patient died during the treatment. They then wrongly accused me of murder. Your Excellency, this is unjust."
"What! What did you say your name was?"
Fengyun couldn't believe what he heard. Top talents like Hua Tuo are hard to come by.
He wanted to confirm whether this Hua Tuo was the famous one in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
Hua Tuo did not hesitate and immediately repeated it.
"Sir, my name is Hua Tuo."
"Can you scrape the bone to cure the poison?"
"Sir, although I have never actually done it, I think I can do it."
"Then can you treat brain diseases?"
"You can give it a try, but I'm not sure."
The other party's answer sounded like Hua Tuo himself, but we need to examine him more to confirm it.
There is no rush for this. Saving one person is the same as saving two people.
Anyway, we saved them all along the way.
"Okay, so you say you were wronged like this?"
"Sir, I could have treated that patient. It was just a simple knife wound. But for some reason, he died a few days later. They said I killed him."
Feng Yun turned his head towards the county magistrate who was still pinned to the ground and said:
"Is that what he said?"
Although the county magistrate had acted superior just now, he was now suppressed by Xu Chu and could not move.
