Prince He Shuo ordered two Imperial Physicians from the Prince Manor and two doctors from the common people, a total of four people, to jointly conduct a diagnosis.
"All of you must diagnose carefully. If it’s white, it’s white, if it’s black, it’s black. Do not falsify, for shame upon your medical skill. Do you understand?"
Prince He Shuo looked solemnly at the four of them and said.
"We understand, Your Highness."
"The common people follow the decree."
The speed at which they looked over was about the same as Feng Luo’s writing speed because her brush writing was not very pretty, but in front of so many people, she couldn’t let herself lose face too much, so she wrote particularly slowly.
The result was as expected; what Feng Luo wrote was consistent with the results they came up with.
Feng Luo was not surprised by such a result. She was somewhat interested in the Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs. She playfully looked at Prince He Shuo and asked, "Prince, are you not curious about how the Lord Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs, at his age, can still indulge in nightly revelries?"
Prince He Shuo’s face turned dark, "Miss Feng Luo, please do not speak of irrelevant matters."
Feng Luo pouted, "Indeed, officials protect each other, alas."
"Miss Feng Luo!" The Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was immediately a bit angry when she brought him up, "Some words should be said, and some should not. You must think clearly."
His words carried a hint of warning, believing that apart from the Prince and Princess Consort, the other officials present were colleagues who had come to the recruitment site hoping to curry favor with the Prince.
Naturally, they would not cause a scene at this time. If any scandal arose, it would not just be him losing face; it would also put the Prince in an unfavorable light. They were smart enough not to provoke.
The Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs banked on this point, hence his tone was somewhat arrogant and domineering, but Feng Luo could not endure being scolded and warned, especially by someone from the court.
Feng Luo narrowed her eyes, carrying a hint of mockery in her gaze, "What, Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs, do you dare not accept what you’ve done? You should know how many women you’ve played to death. Do their angry souls come seeking revenge when you sleep at night?"
The surrounding people reacted with shock, indifference, or a pose of indifference.
On hearing this, the Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs suddenly had a panic in his expression. Angry and embarrassed, he glared at Feng Luo and cursed, "How insolent! A mere commoner dares to slander an official! Guards, imprison her!"
Without fear, Feng Luo stood there, her lips curling into a cold smile, "Mr. Minister, are you angry because I hit the mark of your scandal?"
"You’re talking nonsense!" The Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs looked around frantically, "Guards! Are you all deaf? Arrest this demoness who spreads rumors and confuses people!"
"Mr. Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs!" Feng Luo suddenly shouted loudly, one word at a time, "You want to imprison me in front of the Prince, do you not see the Prince?"
The Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was taken aback, then knelt in front of Prince He Shuo with a thump, "Prince, don’t listen to her nonsense, she is trying to defame me, she intends to take revenge on me."
Feng Luo’s previous remarks were loud enough for the people below the city wall to hear, and the already bustling crowd came flocking over.
"Did you hear that? Someone played someone to death?"
"What do you mean played someone to death?" an uninformed person asked puzzledly.
"Are you stupid? It’s some special hobby, various ways to play, but if you overdo it, it can easily lead to death!"
"What are you talking about? Why don’t I understand?"
"It’s the prostitutes from Yihong House!"
Then someone suddenly said, "It’s clearly stipulated in our dynasty that officials cannot solicit prostitutes, but some people can’t help themselves and like it, so it’s normal for deaths to occur, but they are all powerful and influential, and ordinary people dare not fight against officials! Moreover, it’s not a glorious matter, so scandals are not spread."
"Such matters should be very secretive, right? How could Miss Feng Luo know?"
There was a murmuring discussion among the crowd, talking about everything. Although Feng Luo and they were far away, some words still reached their ears.
They were all adults, and it didn’t take much thought to know what they were talking about.
Prince He Shuo’s face was frighteningly gloomy. He raised his eyes to look at Feng Luo and asked, "Feng Luo, words can’t be spoken carelessly, everything requires evidence. Do you have any evidence that Mr. Minister has committed murder?"
Feng Luo was about to nod when suddenly someone pulled her arm. She looked back to see Luo Qi looking at her with poor expression, "Feng Luo! What exactly are you trying to do!"
Luo Qi was about to go crazy; this child really doesn’t let anyone be at ease. The medical skill contest just ended, and now there’s another outburst, especially since the other party is a third-ranked official, and the accusation of slander is not small!
Feng Luo shook off Luo Qi’s arm, "What am I trying to do? I’m not trying to do anything; I’m just stating the facts!"
She turned to look at Prince He Shuo and said, "Prince, you want evidence, and I have a witness!"
Prince He Shuo glanced coldly at the Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs, seeing him cowering on the ground, scared and trembling all over, the chilling aura around intensified.
Ru Xue sat beside him, feeling it most deeply. She lightly pursed her lips, contemplation flowing in her gaze, "Prince, since it’s about human lives, shouldn’t we find a quiet place to discuss it?"
Prince He Shuo nodded slightly. Human life matters are indeed not suitable to disclose in front of so many people. Regardless of whether the matter is true, the impact on the court and today’s recruitment is unfavorable!
"Then let’s go to the government," Prince He Shuo said coldly.
The Shuozhou Prefecture Magistrate was standing in the crowd and was now feeling guilty, taking small steps backward, fearing that the issue with the Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs would implicate him.
"Mr. Fu."
Suddenly the Shuozhou Prefecture Magistrate was named, and his heart skipped a beat, "Ah, ah, ah?"
"The Prince said to go to the government, so why are you still standing there dumbstruck?"
A nearby official spoke to him.
Mr. Fu raised his hand to wipe the imaginary cold sweat from his forehead, his smile was worse than crying, he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Alright, alright, I will immediately make the preparations."
Feng Luo had just stirred up the matter, and the people also heard it, so they must give everyone an explanation.
Seeing them want to go to the government, Feng Luo instantly felt displeased.
She stepped forward to block Prince He Shuo’s path and said, "Prince, so many people have heard it, and you suddenly say to discuss it in the government. Are you acknowledging the truth in what Feng Luo said?"
She couldn’t let everyone go to the government, for once inside, even if she had reason, even with evidence, it would be wiped out by these people!
To grant justice to those deceased souls, this must be made public in such a grand setting!
