The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion
Chapter 560 - Clinical Trials [Part 1]
"Eat, eat, hurry, and eat now!"
"Try every dish, there must be no omissions!"
"Damn it, you guys kill and set fire so neat and tidy. Yet, being a turtle eating a meal!"
As the night grew deeper, the shouting and cursing in front of Mingde Hall kept coming and going.
Under the urging of these curses, the four death row inmates each occupied a top table banquet, desperately munching on the evidence, their soup dripping profusely, and their faces glistening with oil.
In addition, four death row inmates were temporarily on standby to make detailed adjustments and improvements based on the situation during the first wave of testing.
Sun Shaozong, with his hands on his back, patrolled back and forth in front of the dining table, but the main focus of his observation was still on the half-century-old man on the west side.
As said in the saying, ”Old people in the world have little courage.”
There were still many who dared to commit adultery and commit crimes when they were old, but there were far fewer serious cases that required beheading than in young people.
Therefore, even though Sun Shaozong specifically confessed, there were only three out of the eight death row inmates who were over fifty years old, and in accordance with the principle of using good steel on the blade, Sun Shaozong arranged two of them in the second tier.
The only elderly person in this first-tier team, with a withered appearance and short stature, although hungry for several days, his appetite was still limited and tight. In less than a quarter of an hour, he was full and vomited.
"You, this old brat..."
"Okay."
The supervisor's inner guard still reprimanded him, but Sun Shaozong waved his hand to stop him and pointed to several relatively complete vegetarian dishes, saying, "Keep these dishes and keep the rest."
Before the eunuch could come forward and clean up the leftover food, the two eunuchs rushed forward in unison, massaging the old man's stomach and recording his physical condition through pulse monitoring.
The Recovering One’s Youth Pill must be taken before meals, and it would take about half an hour after meals for the efficacy to gradually dissipate, so the imperial physicians have a lot of time to help them digest food.
If it weren't for this, Sun Shaozong wouldn't have dared to arrange for a few death row inmates to indulge in binge eating. How could they still do bed work while supporting themselves one by one?
"Brother Sun."
At this moment, Qin Ming leaned up and whispered, "These few dishes are actually of little use to keep. His Majesty may not have eaten as much as they do during his meals."
That was true. What kind of delicacies has the Emperor never tasted?
How could it be like a small household, grabbing good food, and not having enough to eat?
"What..."
Sun Shaozong pondered for a moment and then asked, "Does His Majesty have any dishes he particularly likes?"
"Even if he likes it, it's just a matter of taking two more bites."
Qin Ming shook his head and added, "So when I tried the medicine, I only told them to taste everything, and didn't force them to eat everything clean."
It seemed that he really had the wrong idea.
If it were a large dose, it would cause a chemical reaction. Wasn’t this poisoning technique like hitting big luck?
So Sun Shaozong changed his mind and ordered the eunuch to replace all the dishes together.
Clanging~
At this moment, the death row inmate on the adjacent table suddenly threw his rice bowl onto the ground, and the fine white porcelain tableware fell to pieces.
As others were shocked by this, they saw the death row prisoner lazily collapse into the chair and laugh recklessly, "It's so satisfying, so satisfying. I didn’t think that I would still get to taste the wine and food that the Emperor ate before I die!"
As he spoke, he tilted his legs up to the table and shouted, "What about the person who’s going to rub my stomach? Come over and serve me!"
This arrogance was even more impressive than Prince Zhongshun's inside.
"Hey, you're so arrogant!"
At this moment, the internal guard in charge of the supervisor finally reacted, pressing his waist knife in anger and approaching to kick him to the ground.
"Come on, come on!"
The death row inmate was surprisingly calm and fearless. Instead, he straightened his round belly and arrogantly said, "It's best to kick me all out with one kick so that I can eat it again, but if you delay trying the medicine for the Emperor, I won't help you carry the blame!"
Not to mention, his rolling posture really intimidated the inner guards, clenching his fists, staring at them, and gritting his teeth, but he, too, was scared to take action against them.
The death row inmate became more and more proud when he saw this. He tapped his heel on the table and laughed, "No matter what kind of official you are, I'm a dead man anyway. If you serve me well, I'll reluctantly help you sleep with a few women. If you don't serve me well... Hmm!"
Before finishing speaking, the arrogant voice suddenly turned into a muffled groan.
It turned out that Sun Shaozong grabbed the cloth used to wipe the table, rushed over with a meteor shower, pinched his mouth, and stuffed it in.
Then, as if digging into his bag, he lifted the condemned prisoner and casually threw him to the nearby guard.
Just as the inner guards hurriedly went to pick him up, Sun Shaozong calmly ordered, "Take him to the dungeon of the Northern Town Governor's Office, pick up that fresh torture tool, and let him have a taste. Let him die again in three days."
After hearing these words, the death row inmate was stunned for a while, then struggled desperately.
However, after the guard ignored it, his skills were actually not something he could resist. He dragged the dog into the darkness.
Just now, when several death row inmates saw him showing off his authority, they unconsciously felt a little restless. However, at this moment, they were all silent as if they were cicadas. Even the two who were still eating were walking lightly, afraid of accidentally causing a situation that was worse than death.
"By the way..."
Sun Shaozong took out the handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and ordered, "Remember to tell the imperial dining room, and then make an identical table and send it here."
When Qin Ming saw him wipe his hands and turn back as if nothing had happened, he couldn't help but wonder, "The ones I selected from the Ministry of Justice are all honest. How come the prisoners of the Central Judicial Office are so ignorant?"
"Perhaps it's because the environment is different."
Sun Shaozong said helplessly, "When we came to the Jinluan Palace and saw the battle we were building, they thought they were some important people. He was a beast who raped and killed his niece. It would be good to die after suffering some torture, but we wasted a table of good food."
As they were speaking, they suddenly heard a commotion in the main hall, with hysterical, cat-like sobbing as usual, and moans that were all too fake.
"What's going on?"
Sun Shaozong suddenly furrowed his brow. The death row inmates were still outside, and why did the private prostitutes inside started to cry out?
Glancing at the side, a young eunuch immediately went in and asked a few questions. He returned to report that it was the impatience of Prince Zhongshun waiting inside, so he ordered the private prostitutes to grind for fun.
This absurd prince was really…
Forget it; anyway, those prostitutes were not the main characters. Just let them warm up inside first.
