Chapter Eighty-Eight: Finding the Truth
"If I hurt him, I will pay for his life, and I will not complain. www.biquge.info If I hadn't hurt him, why would I have to hide? If I dodge, wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting it? Wouldn't I have fallen for the enemy's tricks?" I said to her in righteous words.
She shook her head, "It's your temper that hurts you." Now, I've been dragged into the water by you and become an accomplice. ”
I smiled at her, "Don't worry, I won't give you anything if I kill you." ”
"I'm afraid that they won't hit you, and they will just click your head. She made a head-cutting gesture as she spoke.
"No!" I said, touching my neck.
"How could it not? This incident has caused a storm in the city, and I am afraid that it has already reached the heavens. The Criminal Division is in a hurry to make a difference, so it doesn't care if you are wronged or not. "Doctor girl
"Don't they all have to be signed?" I asked timidly.
"What do you have in your head? Don't you know how cruel the imperial punishment is to women? Even if you don't admit it, they have a way to kill you. When you die, you say that you committed suicide in fear of sin, and the case can still be closed. She suddenly became excited.
The punishment of a woman: pinching her fingers, ripping off her flesh and cutting off her nose?...... Poisoned wine, sword, silk, rope...... Even if I don't want to die, they can still kill me. I can't fight against these things alone.
It was like something was grabbing my throat, and I suddenly couldn't say a word.
When the doctor saw that I was a little helpless, her heart softened, "Fortunately, the people who testified against you in the palace only said that the person they saw looked like you, and because you were not in the house, the criminal department wanted you as a fugitive." And the prince is willing to protect you, he will definitely find out about Santai's affairs, and it is most important that you don't expose your whereabouts before that. ”
I smiled wryly, "I'm locked up here now, it's impossible to expose myself." But if someone has the intention of harming me, even if they flee to the ends of the earth, others can find it. ”
She nodded, "That's true, it's a pity that my ability is limited......," she said, with some guilt in her words.
I took her hand, "I caused this disaster myself, even if I didn't kill Santai with my own hands, he died because of me, even if I want him to pay for his life." ”
The doctor glared at me, "I'm afraid that you will say this, you don't have the heart to die like this." When you die, don't you make others happy!"
"But I can't get enough of it. "Even if I don't have to pay for his life, I will live in guilt for the rest of my life.
"If I had to say that I didn't want to go, wouldn't it be the same! If I hadn't helped you, this wouldn't have happened. Thinking about it this way, I'm the one who should pay for Santai's life!" the medicine woman's eyes also darkened.
She was a life-saver, but she became an executioner because of my wanton behavior.
A wave of guilt hit me, and I said, "Even if you don't help me, I'll probably knock him out with a stick, and I'll do the same." ”
After saying this, both of us fell silent.
After a few moments, she said, "There's one more thing I should tell you." ”
I didn't speak, just looked at her, waiting earnestly for her to tell me something.
Her eyes blinked and blinked, and then she said, "Concubine Li is pregnant." ”
Concubine Li's smug smile suddenly appeared in my mind, and I smiled lightly: "They have been married for many years, and there is nothing strange about it." ”
"The other ladies in the house are going crazy, I didn't expect your heart to be so wide. "The doctor was a little surprised when she saw my reaction.
I may be a little sad, a little sad, because we used to have commitments. Unfortunately, even though we are close to each other, it seems that we are separated by a thousand mountains and rivers.
"I don't have him like you see or think, it's just a deal. I said.
Indeed, all the love between me and Dongfang Xun in the past was fake, and it was just to lure Sun Ruhai to take the bait. At the end of the day, nothing ever happened between me and him
The doctor girl looked dazed, and then said, "Since you're fine, I'm afraid that people will be suspicious if I've been here for a long time, and it's time to go out." ”
"Hmm!" I nodded.
I still don't want her to go, because she is the one who can talk, but she still has to leave after all.
Looking at her leaving, I heard the door of the dungeon creak open and close, and there was a dead silence in the huge dungeon. I covered my mouth, and the tears in my eyes finally couldn't help but slide down, crying painfully and depressingly.
**
Ye Su followed Dongfang Xun's instructions to investigate Yang Santai's death. He called Zhang An and the testimony (a small handyman from the kitchen helper) for questioning.
The miscellaneous servant was not very old, only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he did not see Sun Xuan kill Yang Santai with his own eyes, but only saw her come out of the toilet where Yang Santai died, but he swore that Sun Xuan had harmed Yang Santai.
After sending this miscellaneous servant away, Zhang An muttered suspiciously: "When the people from the Criminal Division came to investigate the day before yesterday, she couldn't tell clearly, she only said that the person was like Princess Xuan, why was it her today." ”
Ye Su didn't pay much attention to it, and asked Zhang An about the situation on the day Yang Santai was killed. Zhang An naturally answered according to the truth, and he carefully told the events of the day, including Yang Santai going to the toilet, someone went out of the palace for him, drove a carriage to Shangyuan, etc., and also told Sun Xuan to ask him about the autumn hunt the day before the incident.
"Lord Ye, the villain doesn't think that Princess Xuan will deliberately kill Yang Santai. After the story was narrated, Zhang An said what he thought in his heart again.
Ye Su coldly put down the next sentence, "Whether she killed it or not, or whether it was intentionally killed, this matter must have something to do with her." And he left the palace.
Sun Xuan didn't know where to go, so she could only investigate the matter from the witnesses and corpses. He had already heard the testimony of the witnesses, so he naturally wanted to see Yang Santai's corpse.
Ye Su went to the Metropolitan Criminal Division first, and after the Metropolitan Criminal Division examined Yang Santai's corpse, he returned the corpse to the Yang family. He also checked Yang Santai's autopsy records, which showed that his face was bruised, his eyes were bulging, his eyelids were bleeding, his lips were cyanosis, there were bruises on both sides of his mouth and nose, there were strangulation marks on his body, and there were drug residues in his nose.
From this simple description, Ye Su had already roughly thought that Yang Santai was first stunned, then tied up, and finally killed in the latrine. From Zhang An's statement, it can be concluded that the person who went to Shangyuan for Yang Santai should be Sun Xuan, but after she only stunned him, her goal had been achieved, and there was no need to kill Yang Santai at all.
Since there is no motive, there is another possibility, which is manslaughter. However, even if it is manslaughter, it is unforgivable in Ye Su's heart.
Only from the autopsy report of the Metropolitan Criminal Division, it was not enough to draw a final conclusion, so Ye Su went to Yang's house non-stop. Yang Santai's body has been put into a coffin, parked in the mourning hall, and only waited for three days to be buried in the ground.
Yang Santai has no parents, no children, only a wife is still very young, although he is wearing a plain white filial piety clothes, his face is full of bells and whistles. When she saw Ye Su coming, she squeezed out two tears in her eyes, and kept squeezing her eyebrows at Ye Su, not looking like a woman from a good family at all.
She thought that Ye Su was Yang Santai's friend, but after Ye Su explained her intentions, her face changed suddenly. revealed his pungent nature, no matter what Ye Su said, he refused to let Ye Su see Yang Santai's corpse. also united with the people who came to mourn and blasted Ye Su out of Yang's house.
Ye Su had no choice but to leave first, thinking that he would come back to check it out at night.
