Chapter 230 This is called organ ex vivo preservation
Tiger Zhao immediately shivered.
"You..."
He had only casually used an idiom; how could he really feed it to a dog?
What kind of experience was it to watch his own kidney being fed to a dog?
Shen Yulou smiled as he picked up the plate with the kidney, holding it under his nose to sniff it.
"Hmm... it's quite fresh. Dali, go tell the kitchen to add a dish for dinner tonight: stir-fried pork kidneys."
Tiger Zhao looked at his posture, as if he was about to start cooking. Although he was terrified, he still put on a brave front and forced himself to say:
"Are you trying to scare me? The kidney has already been cut out by you, putting it back would be useless! The worst I can do is die!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
"Who said it's useless?"
Yang Dali, who had been silent, pushed up his non-existent glasses.
He looked at him with an expression reserved for an idiot and began his science lesson.
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly, this is Lord Shen, the most skilled physician in our Great Hun Imperial Palace!
Even the Head of the Imperial Medical Academy has to call him teacher when they see him!
Since he can cut it out for you, he can naturally put it back exactly as it was!"
"If it were anyone else who cut out your kidney, would you still be able to talk like this?
Look at your belly, this is called suturing technology.
Our Princess of Yan State had a caesarean section, and it was Lord Shen who performed it. Haven't you heard?"
Tiger Zhao's face changed drastically!
He had vaguely heard about the Princess of Yan State giving birth. It was a miracle that a seemingly stillborn child could be delivered.
He only knew it was done by a highly skilled, top-tier doctor, but he had forgotten who it was specifically.
He hadn't expected it to be this great master right before him!
Yang Dali paused, a very lewd smile appearing on his face, and he leaned in to whisper:
"Losing a kidney can have a significant impact on the body.
From now on, you'll lack energy for everything, suffer from backaches and weak legs, and frequent nighttime urination. Especially..."
He drew out the last word, winking suggestively.
"In bed, you'll be far from what you once were. You might even... never be able to use it again."
Boom!
These words were like a divine thunderbolt from the nine heavens, striking directly at Tiger Zhao's head.
He froze completely.
Can't... can't use it anymore?
As a seven-foot man, a mighty general, if he couldn't perform in that aspect... what was the point of living?!
His mind instantly flashed to his dozen beautiful concubines. If he could only look at them from now on, but not use... that would be more agonizing than killing him!
Tiger Zhao's cold sweat instantly poured down, and the look in his eyes towards Shen Yulou changed from anger to terror and... a hint of expectation.
He licked his dry lips and tentatively, in an almost inaudible voice, asked:
"You... can you really... put it back for me?"
"Of course."
Shen Yulou's face showed a hint of amusement.
"Put your kidney in an ice cellar, soaked in This Official's specially formulated medicinal solution.
After half a year or a year, it can still be put back. This is called ex-vivo organ preservation."
Shen Yulou's professional terminology came out in a continuous flow, leaving Tiger Zhao completely dumbfounded.
He had never heard these terms before, and he didn't understand medicine, but it was clear the other party was very professional.
Normally, Tiger Zhao might not have believed it.
But now that it was happening to him, the situation was different.
This Shen Yulou could cut him open, remove a kidney, and then stitch him back up.
This was already beyond his comprehension.
Moreover, he could even perform a caesarean section on the Princess of Yan State. Was he an ordinary person?
He was caught in the moment, especially since this matter concerned his happiness for the rest of his life, and his lower body.
Tiger Zhao actually believed about seventy to eighty percent of it.
He gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with struggle and humiliation.
"What about Liu Wenxuan? Get that dog to come and talk to me!"
"County Magistrate Liu?"
Yang Dali said.
"He has already been executed on the spot by our Lord Shen for colluding with the enemy and treason."
"Now, I am the County Magistrate of Anyuan County."
Tiger Zhao's face instantly changed dramatically.
Liu Wenxuan is dead?!
His gaze towards Shen Yulou and Yang Dali shifted slightly, clearly showing more fear.
He had previously thought that Liu Wenxuan had orchestrated this to extort more money from him.
But now, it seemed that was not the case at all.
This Shen Yulou was clearly a ruthless bandit, who had directly taken out the County Magistrate's stronghold!
This man was truly vicious!
Tiger Zhao's arrogance instantly vanished, but he still had one thing unclear, and it bothered him deeply.
"I still have one question. The merchant caravan yesterday also drank alcohol, why were they perfectly fine?!"
"Heh."
Shen Yulou tapped his face with a surgical knife.
"With your brain, even if I explained it, you wouldn't understand."
Shen Yulou looked disgusted, "Instead of wasting time on this, you should think more about your kidney."
"..."
Tiger Zhao was completely out of temper.
He was the fish on the chopping block, with even his kidney on it. How could he still be arrogant?
He completely deflated, lowering his head dejectedly.
"Alright... I agree to your terms."
"That's more like it."
Shen Yulou nodded in satisfaction, handing the white porcelain plate with the bloody kidney to Yang Dali.
"Dali, go, take General Zhao's treasure to the ice cellar and freeze it well. Don't let a cat snatch it."
"Got it, Professor Shen!"
Yang Dali took the plate and turned to leave the room.
However, he didn't go to any ice cellar.
Instead, he familiar went into the back kitchen, placed the plate on the stove, and shouted to the chef who was cutting vegetables:
"Old Wang, new task!
Lord Shen wants to eat barbecue tonight. Grill this pork kidney for me!
Remember, add plenty of cumin and chili, grill it until it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. If you burn it, I'll cut off your third leg!"
...This kidney was naturally not Tiger Zhao's.
It was just a pig kidney bought casually.
Tiger Zhao's kidney was still inside his belly.
Shen Yulou had only cut him open and then stitched him back up.
It was just to scare him; he was still useful alive, so he couldn't let him actually die.
In the room.
Shen Yulou sat with his legs crossed, looking at Tiger Zhao, who had completely resigned himself, and began to question him about the main business.
"Tell me, what exactly is the situation in your Yan State now?"
Tiger Zhao sighed, knowing he had no choice, and began to explain everything in detail.
"Currently, the situation in our country is very complex.
Although the Princess of Yan State has returned with the young prince and possesses strong leadership, her foundation is unstable."
"There are three major non-imperial kings in the country, all descendants of the founding heroes who followed the Grand Ancestor Emperor in establishing the empire. They all command significant military power.
Each of them has the strength to rebel, but they lack a legitimate reason.
After all, no one wants to bear the eternal infamy of treason."
"So, they are all looking for an opportunity."
Tiger Zhao's expression became solemn.
"The imperial bloodline of our Yan State is dwindling. Now, only the Princess of Yan State and the young prince remain as the sole lineage.
Even though the young prince is still in his swaddling clothes, he is the current Son of Heaven, the purest bloodline of Yan State."
"Whoever can control the young prince will have the legitimate right to command the feudal lords in the name of the emperor."
