The carriage drove straight into a large mansion in Wenchang Lane, Jinling. After Yao Miaoyi settled in Jinling, she often went out to "hang out", knowing that Wenchang Lane was only a few neighborhoods away from the palace, and those who were eligible to buy houses and land here were officials and magnates.

When the common people passed by, they did not even dare to cough loudly, for fear of alarming the nobles.

The hall of this house is five rooms and seven frames, the door is painted with green paint, the door knocker is a tin with a beast face, the roof ridge is decorated with tile beasts, and the eaves of the beams are painted with green and blue.

There is a filial piety shed in the courtyard, and there is a mourning hall in the hall, and the family is doing a funeral, but the strange thing is that there is no one in the mourning hall, and there is no cry, only the body of a middle-aged woman lying alone in the coffin.

The deceased was wearing a phoenix crown and a xia veil, and the xia curtain was embroidered with a cloud peacock pattern, which seemed to be the lady of the four products. The face is coated with fat powder eyebrows, which is lifelike. Several ice basins lay next to the coffin to slow down the decay of the corpse.

Walking into the mourning hall, a seeping chill came to my face.

Ma Sanbao simply said what he meant today.

The deceased's name was Xingniang, and before she got married, she used to be a female official in the palace and achieved the position of Wupin Shang Palace. Xingniang's character and knowledge are very good, and Princess Qingyang is very friendly, and when she was in the palace, she was also a teacher and a friend.

Last year, Xingniang asked for grace, out of the palace to marry, it is said that the small life is not bad, unexpectedly suddenly died, the maid who served Xingniang ran to the Qingyang Princess Mansion, crying that Xingniang was murdered by her husband, and begged the princess to preside over justice.

Princess Qingyang's father is called Zhu Chongwu (Zhu Yuanzhang used to be called Zhu Chongba), is the elder brother of Emperor Hongwu, died young, Emperor Hongwu ascended the throne as the emperor, and posthumously crowned his brother as the king of Nanchang. Reasoning, the prince's daughter should be crowned the lord of the county, and the husband should be named the county horse.

But Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I am the only niece and daughter, and I can't bear to take it again." "So Princess Qingyang and the concubine kept the title and the title.

Princess Qingyang is three years older than the crown prince Zhu Biao, and she has already married out of the palace and built a princess's mansion, which is quite respected in the royal family.

After Zhu Di returned to Beijing from the Northern Expedition, he was given an errand by Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion, specializing in dealing with various matters of the royal family. Princess Qingyang felt that Xingniang's death was indeed strange, but Xingniang was a woman and a court official; The husband of the wife murder suspect is a four-rank military attaché, who is a thousand households, and he also has backers behind him.

If it was reported to the Yamen of Yingtianfu, the matter was big, and the forces of all parties interfered, but it would not end well, so he ordered the guards of the princess's mansion to control the mansion first, block the news, and ask his cousin Zhu Di to help investigate the case, and said that Xingniang is a woman, in order to make her innocent, it is best to ask a female doctor or female maid to check the body.

Zhu Di immediately thought of Yao Miaoyi. Yao Miaoyi is bold and careful, and has a strict tone, making her an excellent candidate.

Yao Miaoyi really lived up to expectations, without a word of nonsense, calmly ordered people to set up curtains around the bright corner pavilion, there was a table inside, carried the corpse out of the coffin, rested on the table, removed the hairpin ring on the deceased's head, took off his clothes, covered himself with a white linen cloth, and finally wiped off the fat and oil paint on the deceased's face when he was wrapped in makeup with water.

After washing the fat powder, a blue and black face was revealed, and he looked like he had died in vain, as if he had been poisoned by some kind of poison.

Click!

With a soft sound, Yao Miaoyi removed the deceased's jaw! She poked a bamboo chopstick into her mouth and throat, and examined it carefully with a Western magnifying glass, looking suspicious.

Then he also leaned over with a magnifying glass to look at the deceased's ears and piercings, and the suspicion on his face became even stronger.

She fiddled with the deceased's eyelids and wanted to check his eyes, but found that she couldn't open them at all, and when she looked closely, she frowned.

"The upper and lower eyelids were glued together by fish glue, and they must have been unable to close their eyes, so they were forcibly glued with fish glue. Give me a pair of small scissors. ”

Ma Sanbao was used to seeing dead people in the barracks, and he practiced liver and gallbladder, but the scene was too weird at this time, and his heart was pounding, so he didn't dare to look at it, and he didn't hear Yao Miaoyi's request clearly.

Zhu Di was still calm and handed the small silver scissors in the medical box to Yao Miaoyi.

Yao Miaoyi took the scissors and slowly picked off the fish glue on her eyelids.

The pupils of his eyes had already dilated, becoming turbid and dead, the deceased suddenly "opened" his eyes, Ma Sanbao was so frightened that he trembled, his internal organs seemed to be turning over his heels, and he gritted his teeth so as not to vomit on the spot.

Even Zhu Di secretly clenched his fist in his sleeve, and the color of his thin lips became lighter.

Yao Miaoyi didn't react at all, and carefully looked at the upper and lower eyelids, and the distance between her eyes and the deceased's cloudy pupils was only a fingernail.

At the end, Yao Miaoyi put down the scissors. Zhu Di asked, "How?" What was the cause of her death? ”

"It's obviously arsenic [frost poisoning]." Yao Miaoyi pointed to the black spots on the deceased's body, as well as small pimple-sized bumps on the edges of his palms and fingers.

"I just breathed yesterday and was calmed with ice cubes, and it is impossible for corpse spots to appear so quickly, so the black spots are caused by poison. The small rashes on the edges of the palms, toes, and fingers are called arsenic by insiders, because only arsenic [frost poisoning] can cause this special rash to appear in these areas. ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Really? Only arsenic [frost will be like this?] ”

"And this." Yao Miaoyi carefully used a special potion to wash the nails dyed by the deceased's impatiens, but she saw that there was a thin white horizontal line on the nail cover, and it gradually spread outward!

"This line is also the main feature of arsenic [frost poisoning." Yao Miaoyi sighed: "Arsenic [frost is too famous, and it has been mentioned in novels and dramas. Therefore, when ordinary people have the idea of poisoning in their hearts, the first poison that comes to mind is arsenic [frost], but they don't know that the symptoms of arsenic [frost poisoning are actually obvious, and it is the easiest to expose. ”

"In fact, there are many ways to poison people, and it is not easy to detect, such as the fish gall bladder of the pufferfish, soaked in the wine tank, which can poison an entire tavern person. There is a kind of acacia red beans called ** mother beads, which are more poisonous than arsenic [frost, mixed with red beans to cook porridge for people to eat, unknowingly, and all kinds of mushrooms......"

Yao Miaoyi talked about the industry, but when she saw that Zhu Di's face didn't seem to be right, she stopped talking.

It's so vicious! When Ma Sanbao heard this, his legs and feet began to tremble, and he secretly thought that he was fortunate that he had not offended Butcher Yao when he was in the barracks—no, it was Doctor Yao, otherwise he didn't know how he died!

Ahem, although the mirror decal yellow has become Miss Yao, it still does not change the true color of the former barracks Yao butcher. Zhu Di coughed lightly and asked, "Since you are sure that the cause of death is arsenic [frost poisoning, why do you still have a confused look on your face?" ”

Yao Miaoyi pointed to the deceased's mouth and throat and said, "If the deceased was ingested by mistake or forcibly poured into arsenic, then her throat and esophagus must have corroded or burned marks, and even her throat would be swollen and suffocated, but she didn't." ”

Yao Miaoyi pointed to the deceased's ears again, "When I was in Suzhou, there was an example of a husband and wife quarreling, and the husband took advantage of his wife's sleep in the middle of the night to pour arsenic [frost] into his wife's ear, causing her to be poisoned to death. But I examined her ears and there were no obvious marks. ”

"Then her eyes ......" Zhu Di and the dead man looked at each other for a long time, although Xingniang's eyeballs were cloudy like a pool of stagnant water, but the appearance looked quite complete, "It doesn't seem to be caused by dripping into the eyes." ”

"Hmm." Yao Miaoyi nodded, "This is where I am puzzled, I know the cause of her death, but I don't know how the murderer did it...... Hey? ”

Zhu Di looked at Yao Miaoyi, "Did you come up with it?" ”

Yao Miaoyi's gaze fixed on the deceased's lower abdomen, "I have a guess, but this guess is too vicious, and I don't want to believe that this guess is true." ”

Zhu Di thought for a while, "More vicious than filling your ears just now?" ”

Yao Miaoyi was silent for a moment, sighed heavily, and asked, "Next, I will damage the body of the deceased, I wonder if Princess Qingyang will allow it?" ”

Zhu Di nodded, "Sister Huang said, the truth is important, and it must be fast, the deceased's husband has a lot of backers, and we can't trap him for long." ”

Yao Miaoyi secretly thought that it could make the prince and the princess jealous, Xingniang's husband seemed to be not small, and she couldn't help but be curious, she asked in a low voice: "Who is this wolf-hearted man?" ”

Zhu Di said: "A thousand households in the Captain's Mansion. ”

It's the Captain's Mansion again! Only obey the orders of Emperor Hongwu's elite guards! Arrest the main organization of the Ming Secret Party! The traitor Guo Yangtian is also here as a thousand households!

This person is Emperor Hongwu's confidant, no wonder Zhu Di and Princess Qingyang are so worried.

If Guo Yangtian can't be assassinated, it will be a great achievement to push the thousand households of another pro-soldier Governor's Mansion into death row.

Yao Miaoyi took out a willow leaf-like knife from the medical box, and the sharp blade flashed a cold light in her eyes, "Please turn around a little and avoid it, the next one will be very bloody, and you will be uncomfortable." ”

Zhu Di is a battle-hardened person who thinks he is fearless, but when he saw Yao Miaoyi lift the white linen cloth on the deceased's body, and the lancet shining between the deceased's stiff legs, he suddenly understood what Yao Miaoyi's guess was just too vicious!

It's so vicious indeed! It's disgusting and pathetic to think about, and if the speculation is true, then ......

Zhu Di turned around and shook his head violently, it's better not to be true! Otherwise, what is the difference between this earth and hell? What is the difference between humans and animals?

In a quarter of an hour, Yao Miaoyi had already cut open the part of the deceased from the pubic to the uterus, and clamped out a ball of gauze wrapped in a ball from the cervix!

In the gauze ball, the arsenic powder has melted into black mucus, and the cervix is corroded and corroded, and the poison spreads to the whole body and dies.

Such a shocking method of poisoning must have been done by the most intimate husband, and it was done while the husband and wife were having the pleasures of Dunlun, which is chilling to think about!
