Chapter 423 - Truth in the Hands of a Few! (1/2)
Chapter 423 Truth in the Hands of a Few!
“How about this.”
After a few seconds’ confusion, the host immediately came to his senses and said, “Although I love traditional Chinese medicine very much, I am just an apprentice. I don’t know much about this kind of question. Why don’t we ask the three judges?”
Then he turned to the judges.
Everyone present also turned their heads to look at them.
The staff off stage was relieved.
The host was such a quick thinker that he deserved to be the host of Central Television. He immediately threw the question to the three judges. Since those three were judges, it was natural that they should answer the question.
In the crowd, Director Li Huawen laughed with satisfaction.
There was no doubt that this was another attractive point.
If the tit-for-tat between Fang Qiu and Zheng Chao was edited separately for publicity, it would attract a group of fans.
What pleased the director most was that the host managed to keep the situation under control. In this way, the show did not have to be re-recorded.
“Three judges, what do you think of this question?” the host asked the three judges.
“Let me answer you.”
Yang Juanyong picked up the microphone, sighed a little, and said, “Well, before I answer the host’s question, I’m going to quiz everyone on this question. Everybody, which answer do you think is right?”
As he spoke, Yang Juanyong stood up and looked at the audience and all the contestants in the answering area.
“All right.”
The host chimed in, “Each audience member has a selector attached to your seat, and each contestant in the answering area also has one. We will now give the backstage some time to prepare the vote count.”
A little while later.
“All right, everybody, vote, please. The audience can press the selector embedded in the armrest. Red means true, and blue means false.
“In the answering area, contestants can write ‘true’ or ‘false’ directly on the answering machine and can also put a tick and a cross to express your views.
“Ready, vote.”
Under the shout of the host, the whole audience made their choices one after another.
Two columns of data, one red and one blue, also popped up on the big screen. As everyone voted, the data column rose.
Soon, the vote was over.
“Okay, let’s look at the big screen.”
As the host spoke, he drew everyone’s attention to the big screen, saying, “The results showed that there were nine people who chose that it was true, and the others chose that it was false.”
Everyone looked at the big screen, and even Jiang Miaoyu chose it was false.
Not because she didn’t trust Fang Qiu, but because she really thought he must have made a mistake and written the right answer wrong.
“Now, the result is clear, isn’t it?”
On the stage, Zheng Chao sneered and said, “Nine people chose that it was right. I don’t think these nine people have the ability to study medicine. With this level of ability, they cannot master it no matter how hard they try!”
Hearing what he said, most of the audience unconsciously nodded to show their support for his choice, although they felt that what Zheng Chao said was a bit excessive.
“Although there is a wide gap between the number of people choosing the two answers, it does not represent the final result, nor does it represent whether the question is right or wrong.”
The host smiled, looked back at the judges, and said, “Mr. Yang, please continue.”
In the judge’s seats, Yang Juanyong, who was still standing up, looked at the huge gap between the number of votes cast on the big screen. He actually shook his head and sighed, “The truth is always in the hands of a few people.”
His words caused an uproar!
What was wrong?
The truth was in the hands of a few people?
Did he mean that almost everyone was wrong, except for the nine people, who chose that it was true?
“How is that possible?”
“No way?”
“There’s such an obvious mistake! How could it be true?”
“Yeah, the large intestine is related to the lung. How could it be connected with the liver?”
Everyone was at a loss.
The knowledge in their heads told them that they should choose that it was false, but the highly-skilled doctor Yang Juanyong said they should choose that it was true. What was going on here?
Should they question the highly-skilled doctor?
They dared not, and at the bottom of their hearts, they felt that the highly-skilled doctor was absolutely not wrong!
However, what they had learned told them that this question was obviously wrong.
In this hedge between power and knowledge, everyone was bewildered.
Then Yang Juanyong said, “Well, since this is Fang Qiu’s question, let’s ask Fang Qiu to explain. What do you think?”
The audience nodded.
“Fang Qiu, please explain this,” the host said to Fang Qiu.
“Okay.”
Without hesitation, Fang Qiu just replied, “Li Chan, a famous physician of the Ming dynasty, wrote a book, Introduction to Medicine—the Five Internal Organs, and one of the chapters is Connection of the Five Internal Organs.
“It says the heart is connected to the gallbladder, the liver to the large intestine, the spleen to the small intestine, the lungs to the bladder, the kidney to the triple energizer, and the kidney to the life-gate. This unity is wonderful.”
Everyone present was stunned by what he recited.
