District Court of London, Second Tribunal.

"Your Excellency, my client is a scientist who is currently recognized as an authority in the field of blood transfusion therapy, and also holds four invention patents, including morphine hydrochloride, diethyl X morphine, berberine hydrochloride, and vulcanized rubber, and has also disclosed another invention patent he owns, a patent for absorbable surgical sutures. These discoveries and inventions were enough to make my client one of the most brilliant scientists of our time, and his disagreement with the Royal Society of Medicine was entirely an academic dispute, mainly because of the disagreement between the two sides about the way in which disease arose and spread, as in the case of Giordano . The opposition between Mr. Bruno and the Roman Catholic Church on the question of 'heliocentrism' and 'geocentrism'......"

It was Andrew who spoke. Lawyer Jones, these days, 'Jason. Zhu's defamation case has already been tried in the District Court of London, and today is the first time it has been heard. This fledgling rookie lawyer is now wearing a wig and a black robe, and he talks eloquently in law, but he has a bit of a barrister's demeanor.

However, his opponents were not vegetarians, and the Royal Society of Medicine hired royal barristers in specially designed silk coats for the defamation lawsuit (the title of lawyer in the British Empire, which literally translates to the Queen's legal advisers). Of course, they resolutely denied any academic controversy, but based on Zhu Jishi's view that British hospitals and doctors "brought disaster to mothers" put forward in his published article, they believed that Zhu Jishi insulted the personality of all British doctors, and therefore constituted slander.

To be honest, such a view is not wrong, Zhu Jishi's article is indeed stomping on the British medical elite, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an insult. Of course, the articles of the British medical elite were more vitriol than Zhu Jishi, and they almost scolded Zhu Jishi as a barbarian, and gave him the nicknames "Jason the Ripper" and "Bloodthirsty Veterinarian Jason", which can almost be used to the standard of slander. What's even more excessive is that these British doctors also attacked the entire yellow race because of Zhu Jishi's skin color, which was completely racist remarks. But the members of the Royal Society of Medicine, and even the entire British elite of gentlemen, did not see anything wrong with those discriminating against and slandering the yellow race.

After all, a group of British officers who were born in the donation class had just led more than 10,000 "double spearmen" (opium was the military ration of the British Army to officers and soldiers) to beat the Manchu Empire, a large country with more than one million yellow people, to the teeth, and also cut Hong Kong Island, demanded a huge sum of 7 million pounds, and obtained a lot of benefits such as tariffs, extraterritoriality, five-port trade, and one-sided most-favored-nation treatment. The news of the signing of the Treaty of Nanking had been transmitted back to Britain in the past two days, and the result was naturally a little jubilation among the middle and upper classes of the British Isles, and all kinds of remarks about the partition and annexation of China often appeared in the mainstream newspapers of Britain, which basically regarded the Huanghuang Qing Dynasty as the second in India.

As for Zhu Jishi, after hearing the news of the signing of the "Nanjing Treaty", he sighed softly in his heart. This period of history is destined to happen, in fact, when Zhu Jishi traveled to this time and space, the Opium War had ended, and the "Treaty of Nanjing" had been signed, but Britain had not yet received the news. Even if he returns to China on the fastest sailing ship, it is impossible to change history, and it is better to stay in the UK honestly and do the H heroin business.

However, he also knew that the first Opium War was just the beginning, and the trading of heroin, berberine, morphine and rubber would make money again, and it would be against the sky to earn back the 7 million pounds that the Qing Dynasty lost in the First Opium War. I really don't know how many tons of H heroin will have to be sold to count, but the question is where are so many addicts in Western countries?

Thinking of this, Zhu Jishi only had a long sigh.

"Jason, Jason......" The soft female voice dragged the distracted Zhu Jishi out of his thoughts, and the speaker was naturally Mrs. Duran sitting beside him. Jason, it's time for you to go up and testify. ”

It seems that the statement of barrister Jones still failed to convince the judge, and the court accepted the view of the Royal Society of Medicine, and did not consider the dispute between Zhu and the Royal Society of Medicine to be an academic dispute, but this is also the result that Zhu Jishi wanted.

When he sat down in the witness stand and pressed his right hand on the Bible to take the oath, Zhu Jishi's eyes looked around the courtroom, and neither Isabel nor Blomstein and his son appeared in the audience. A few days before the trial, he had approached Zhu Jishi, suggesting that Zhu Jishi could leave London so as not to face criminal prosecution after losing the civil defamation lawsuit, but Zhu Jishi refused.

In addition, Engels and Will. Heming also sat side by side in the courtroom, still holding a notebook and a pen to keep recording something. It is estimated that everything that happened to the law will be published in the "Polaris" newspaper in a timely manner.

"Mr. Zhu," said an aged royal barrister wearing a wig and a silk robe, and glanced at Zhu Jishi with contempt, "did you submit articles to illegally published newspapers such as The Polaris, The Observer, and The London Express, on November 26, November 28, November 30, and December 1, 1842, claiming that a large number of patients and maternal deaths had been caused by the mistakes of the British medical profession?" ”

"Many patients have indeed suffered disasters because of their mistakes......"

"Please answer yes or no!" The royal barrister raised his voice to interrupt Zhu Jishidao. According to the plan he negotiated with several royal barristers who were also lawyers of the Royal Society of Medicine, it was very simple to win the lawsuit, all that was needed was to get Zhu Jishi to admit that he had published "defamatory remarks" in illegal newspapers, and then the Royal Society of Medicine would come forward to prove that these remarks were nonsense. There is no need to discuss academic issues in the legal arena at all, lest the judge think that the trial is adjudicating the rights and wrongs of academic opinions.

"Germs are there, they can be clearly observed through a microscope, and of course they need to be carefully observed using some special methods! For example, the use of staining and culture - two methods of studying pathogens that I invented and submitted to The Lancet, but were not published. Of course, Zhu Jishi ignored the royal barrister, but talked to himself.

"Mr. Zhu, please don't say anything unrelated to this case, you just need to answer yes or no." The judge on the bench frowned slightly, and was not satisfied with the question of whether to accept the "Jason. Zhu's defamation case", the London District Court also conducted a debate, the focus of which was whether the key to this case was "defamation" or "academic disagreement", or how to treat "defamation" and "academic disagreement" differently. The former can be tried in law, while the latter is not something that a judge can decide.

"Your Excellency, this is not something that has nothing to do with this case, but a key piece of evidence." Lawyer Jones stood up and spoke, he looked at the judge with blazing eyes, and said in an accentuated tone: "Your Excellency, I would like to remind you that due to Mr. Zhu's latest scientific discoveries, this trial will inevitably be remembered by future generations, and if you make the wrong choice, then there is only one result you can get, which is to disgrace the legal system of the British Empire!" ”

At this time, Zhu Jishi suddenly took over the topic, looked at Sir Uncle Ho and Sir Reed with a victorious smile, and said with a smile: "Two Sirs, I heard that you are the authority of the medical community in Britain and even Europe, and your testimony can play a decisive role in today's law, but you do not represent the truth, and now the entire European medical and scientific circles have known about this absurd trial." If today you win the trial, and soon after, the germ theory I propose is confirmed by other scientists in Europe, I can hardly imagine what scientists all over Europe will think of you and the Royal Society of Medicine? ”

Sir Hubber and Sir Reed looked at each other, and they did say hello to The Lancet magazine, not to publish any more articles by Zhu Jishi. Therefore, they also did not know what were the two important methods of bacterial observation that were later called "Zhu's staining method" and "Zhu's solid medium", and it was impossible to judge the truth of what Zhu Jishi said.

Just when the two heads of the Royal Medical Society were a little at a loss, the iron-faced and selfless judge on the bench said in a deep voice again: "Defendant, please don't say anything that has nothing to do with this trial!" ”
