After their minds were read, the entire court trembled with fear.

Chapter 85 Treating a Dead Pig as a Live Pig

Shen Zhiyi muttered to herself all the way until the group arrived at Dali Temple.

The first thing they did was check if the pig-headed man who had hit them was dead.

If he's not dead, this matter is easy to resolve.

If he dies, this will be a real problem.

So everyone hopes this guy isn't dead.

Is he dead? Is he dead? Is he dead?

"He's still breathing! He can be saved! Quick!"

[I knew it! General Wei Hu's wife only kicked him once. This pig-headed man who hit him couldn't possibly be so fragile that he'd be kicked to death with just one kick, could he?]

General Wei Hu remained silent, clasping his hands together and pleading with everyone he knew.

"May our ancestors protect us, please don't kick him to death!"

He knew his wife's strength better than anyone; it wasn't impossible for her to kick someone to death.

[The kick landed on the stomach; with so much fat, it's impossible for her to die. So why did she faint? It wasn't a kick to the head, was it?]

Yeah, why?

General Wei Hu was practically kneeling before Shen Zhiyi, begging her to take a look!

Seemingly sensing General Wei Hu's call, Shen Zhiyi quickly flipped to the top.

【Ah, I see. That pig-headed man who hit people was eating jujubes. He was startled by General Wei Hu's wife's kick, and the pit got stuck in his throat. That makes things easy.】

"Um, this one..."

Is he an imperial physician or a forensic doctor?

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review couldn't understand forensic medicine, but he knew that at this moment, it wasn't the imperial physicians checking whether someone was dead.

He kindly explained to Shen Zhiyi, "This is the coroner."

"Wu Zuo?!"

The wife of General Wei Hu was stunned: "My husband is not dead! Your Dali Temple is really bullying people. You bunch of corrupt officials, protecting each other, are just trying to kill me."

Shen Zhiyi rolled her eyes and, as she walked past the other person, couldn't help but whisper in their ear, "What do you have that makes us officials protect you? Stop being so narcissistic."

"you!"

"You can't expect to find many steel plates in your body."

This couple, the husband a big gambler and the wife a small gambler, are a match made in heaven. I suggest locking them up completely; don't let them end up in the gambling world and cause trouble for others.

“Hey coroner, you’re using the wrong method. You might kill the person. Let me do it.”

The coroner felt uncomfortable, but since the person in front of him was so amiable, even the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, he had to keep his discomfort to himself.

"Please."

Wow, this coroner is actually quite polite.

The old emperor and his court officials: ...

Shen Zhiyi, who has never been perceptive in her life.

[Oh no, he's passed out. Who knows if he can be saved? Whatever, we'll try anything.]

"Bah bah bah."

Shen Zhiyi used all her strength to help the man who had hit her up, to everyone's astonishment.

"Holy crap, this is so heavy!"

"I can't do that anymore, General Weihu, come here, I'll teach you."

"Huh? Okay, okay."

Shen Zhiyi had General Wei Hu stand behind the pig-headed man who was hitting people, and then immediately taught him the Heimlich maneuver.

After a while, the pit of a jujube was spat out.

The man with the pig-headed face coughed a few times and quickly lost consciousness again.

"My husband, my husband!"

[The person was unconscious for quite a long time. If I had been there, they might be fine. However, prolonged unconsciousness means prolonged oxygen deprivation, which could lead to severe brain damage and significant long-term consequences.]

[Tsk, serves him right. He's a scourge that lives on for a thousand years just by not dying.]

"You're practically a living Buddha!"

Shen Zhiyi was startled, not knowing when General Wei Hu had pulled his wife to kowtow to her.

"No, no, no."

[This is too much! You should all kneel before the old emperor.]

Shen Zhiyi hid behind the old emperor, and only then did General Wei Hu and his wife stop.

Upon seeing this, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review said, "In that case, this person's fainting has nothing to do with General Wei Hu's wife. After all, it was your husband who choked on a jujube pit."

"Now that your husband is out of danger, take your men and go back."

"and many more!"

General Wei Hu's wife's best friend hugged her husband and looked at the crowd.

"No matter what, hitting someone is wrong, and they should at least pay compensation."

"I don't need much, five thousand taels of silver will suffice."

General Wei Hu's wife's fiery temper flared up again: "Why don't you just rob me? Don't forget, you still owe me fifty taels of silver."

"You hit someone and you still think you're right?"

"Oh heavens! Everyone, please be the judge! These corrupt officials are protecting each other and trying to force a weak woman like me to my death."

The chaotic scene left everyone stunned.

General Wei Hu couldn't help but say, "I told you not to go out and play Pai Gow, but look at all these close female friends you have."

"If you want to play Pai Gow, wait for me to come back and I'll play with you."

General Wei Hu's wife said with a wronged expression, "I never expected to encounter this."

"Silence! Silence!"

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review said irritably, "I'm right here, what are you crying and shouting about!"

I didn't know His Majesty was here.

"It is true that General Weihu's wife assaulted someone, but according to the laws of Daye, she should pay 100 taels of silver in compensation. In addition, you still owe the other party 50 taels, so the compensation will be offset. General Weihu's wife can compensate you 50 taels of silver."

"She, she beat my husband like this! And if she hadn't been hitting him, would he have choked on something? And how come it's only fifty taels of silver?"

【That's not right. I just slowed down the playback. Your husband choked you because he was in a rush when he hit you and didn't pay attention. Hey, you yourself noticed something was wrong. Also, that's why General Wei Hu's wife easily knocked down this fat pig weighing over 200 to 300 pounds with one kick.】

To put it bluntly, isn't this just staged an accident?

With Shen Zhiyi's words, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review felt more confident.

"You audacious shrew, you dare to try and cheat me out of money! Should I call the imperial physician over? He can easily find out whether the jujube pit was swallowed before or after General Wei Hu's wife kicked it."

Wow, the imperial physician is so skilled, how did he even discover that?

Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review: It's fake; he made it up on the spot.

Those with guilty consciences would naturally feel guilty upon hearing the words of the Minister of Justice.

Knowing she was in the wrong, General Wei Hu's wife's sister had no choice but to take her husband back home.

[I really want to bet on how long that woman will stay away from her husband? Maybe she even thinks he'll wake up? It's unlikely; even if he does, there will definitely be many long-term consequences.]

General Weihu breathed a sigh of relief after the people left.

Shen Zhiyi, his great benefactor!

"Madam, while His Majesty is here, I'd like to ask you, would you like to come with me on a sea voyage?"

"Going out to sea? How long will it take?"

"It's hard to say, it could take several years."

"Okay, I'll go then. Wait, can I go?"

General Wei Hu's wife looked at the old emperor awkwardly.

Why did you suddenly agree to go?
