In the autopsy room, Zheng Yuanshao explained everything clearly.

"..." He only sobbed, "When Zhongcheng fell, I was shocked. For a long time, I did whatever that man told me to do."

"It was not until later, when I saw Captain Feng rescue the Minister, that I suddenly came to my senses. I knew that I was doomed. The court would not let me go, and the Xu family would kill me to silence me. Later, when I heard that the Minister was still alive, I fainted from fear."

"When I woke up, there was no one in the room except the unconscious Captain Feng. I thought about it for a long time and decided that I could only imitate the ancients and pretend to be crazy and stupid to see if I could get away with it." Zheng Yuanshao sobbed.

"I didn't expect that they were just lucky and didn't run into a devil like you."

“Hahahaha.” Zhao Hao laughed out loud and said, “How dare a coward like you compare yourself to those people with great perseverance?!”

As he said this, he wiped Zheng Yuanshao's left eye socket, and something magical happened.

Zheng Yuanshao's left eye actually regained its sight!

"This, this..." Zheng Yuanshao was confused.

"Hahaha, I'm just a kid, how could I really dig out someone's eyes? What I showed you just now was a sheep's eye." Zhao Hao showed Zheng Yuanshao the red paste he had taken from his eye socket and said, "This is Cornus officinalis paste. It feels great to stick it on your eyes, right?"

"Ah?" Zheng Yuanshao was dumbfounded and stammered, "Is it on my wrist too?"

"Not bad." Zhao Hao smiled and waved his hands, signaling the nurse to let him go.

As soon as Zheng Yuanshao regained his freedom, he immediately looked at his wrist and saw that there was indeed a red plaster on it.

After removing the plaster, there was indeed a small wound on the wrist, but the bleeding had already stopped.

And the dripping sound is still there.

Zheng Yuanshao looked around and found that it was just a bamboo tube, simply dripping water.

He immediately felt angry because he had been fooled, and shouted, "Where's the ear? Is it a pig's ear?"

"Well, that's not the case." Zhao Hao pointed at his still bleeding cheek and said, "I told you already, I accidentally cut it off for you."

"Ah!" Zheng Yuanshao reached out and touched the left side of his head, only to feel a sharp pain. As expected, most of the earlobe was missing...

"You pervert..." He pointed at Zhao Hao and cursed.

Before he could finish his words, he felt a flash before his eyes and a scalpel pierced the back of his hand.

Then Zhao Hao thrust the knife hard into the dissecting chamber.

Zheng Yuanshao screamed and turned his body following Zhao Hao's movements, watching his hand being nailed to the dissecting hole by the scalpel.

Immediately blood gushed out.

"Okay, stop crying." Zhao Hao picked up the bloody spatula again and said coldly, "Hurry up and sign your name, or I'll do it for real this time."

The nurse in charge of taking the statement quickly handed over a confession. Zheng Yuanshao's will had been completely crushed by Zhao Hao, and he signed his name and pressed his fingerprints on the form like a zombie.

"Treat him." Zhao Hao took off his blood-stained rubber gloves, then lifted a piece of bloody white cloth. It turned out that the person lying on the ground was a wooden man used by medical students to identify acupuncture points.

"Coward." Young Master Zhao snorted contemptuously, completely wiping out the last bit of Zheng Yuanshao's dignity.

"I'm such a loser, such a coward..." Zheng Yuanshao was completely stunned, and fell into complete self-denial and self-deprecation.

I never thought about whether this very practical dissection bed and the wide variety of dissection tools could be prepared on the spur of the moment.

~~

At the Xiaoshan River Wharf, the lights in the Science cabin are bright.

Zhao Liben, wearing a pair of tortoise-shell reading glasses, was carefully reading Zheng Yuanshao's confession.

As he watched, he shook his head and said, "So that's what happened. Well, Lin Run is still young, he should have pretended to be drunk to the end. After Zheng Yuanshao left, he could have called the guards in, right? In such a short time, can Zheng escape from the camp? Isn't it like catching a turtle in a jar?"

"Zhongcheng is a man who follows rules, and he thinks others will follow the rules like him." Zhao Hao sighed sadly and said hatefully, "Who could have expected that the Xu family would be so cruel?"

"Alas, it's no use saying all this." Zhao Liben took off his glasses and asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?"

Zhao Hao gnashed his teeth and said, "I will make the Xu family pay back this blood debt tenfold!"

"This confession alone is not enough." Zhao Liben shook his head.

"I don't plan to move to the Xu family just because of this piece of paper. That would be too easy for them." Zhao Hao said hatefully:

"I will take away everything they have, abolish everything they rely on, and destroy everything they cherish! I will make them fall from the clouds to the cesspool, and become pitiful creatures despised by everyone!"

"If we don't do this, it won't be enough to serve as a warning to others! It won't be enough to deter those unscrupulous and powerful families!" Zhao Hao said firmly: "It won't be enough to appease the hatred in my heart!"

Zhao Liben listened to Zhao Hao venting calmly, then stood up, walked to his side, and reached out to stroke his grandson's head.

It was not until Zhao Hao's stiff body gradually became less tense that he slowly asked:

"My dear grandson, do you feel guilty?"

"..." Zhao Hao was silent for a moment, then nodded and choked up, "If I hadn't given Meichuan Yifu to Lin Zhongcheng and reminded him to check the Shanghai Wanyuan, he wouldn't have gone to Shanghai, let alone suffered this disaster."

"Could you have expected that his deputy would be suddenly captured by the Xu family?" Zhao Liben asked softly, "Could you have expected that someone would be so cruel as to even kill the governor?"

Zhao Hao shook his head.

"So, we humans can't plan everything out perfectly every time." Zhao Liben stroked his grandson's back and said in a rare soft voice:

"Life is full of unexpected situations. So when something unexpected happens, how we deal with it is the most important thing."

"How should I face it..." Zhao Hao murmured.

"Don't let hatred, anger, pain and other emotions influence your judgment, as they will only blind your eyes," Zhao Liben said earnestly. "You need to find a way to calm yourself down and turn those negative emotions into motivation to move forward."

"Calm down..." Zhao Hao said softly.

"Yes, stay calm. Only when you are calm can you be at peace, and only when you are at peace can you think, and only when you think can you achieve." Zhao Liben said seriously: "Whether you want to avenge Lin Run or deal with the Xu family, you must stay calm."

"Through this incident, you should be fully aware of how brutal the enemy you are facing is." Zhao Liben said calmly: "If you follow the grand blueprint you have drawn up, you will encounter even more brutal opponents in the future, and there will be more things that will make you angry."

"If you don't learn to stay calm, you will become like them sooner or later." Zhao Liben said earnestly, "Then you will never be the person you want to be."

"Yes, grandpa." Zhao Hao accepted the instruction respectfully.

Thinking back on his actions today, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. His heart, which was burning with anger due to self-blame and guilt, finally calmed down under Zhao Liben's earnest teachings.
