306. Osteopathy
The bones are black and appear to be a sign of poisoning. King Su was grief-stricken, the people were whispering, public opinion was biased, and Lu Li, the chief of the coffin autopsy, seemed to be in a daze...... The atmosphere became very tense.
Zhongshu Men Pingzhang Shi Zhou was a little worried. The people are simple and rarely see what is behind the incident, and they are guided by King Su...... He has heard of Lu Li for a long time, and he has real skills, but he is still too young to withstand this meeting?
He glanced at Emperor Taijia. Emperor Taijia sat high on the dragon chair, with one hand on his head, his slender eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, like a sneer, like curiosity, like a groan, like an expectation, but there was no anxiety and worry.
Lord Zhou has gone through two dynasties, and he has his own vision to achieve this ruling position, he believes in Zhao Zhu, the king of Ping, and also believes in this emperor who is still a little young. He vaguely felt that something was wrong with King Su's table, but the emperor was not worried...... He couldn't express his worries.
If you feel that something is wrong, you will take a serious look, think of something wrong, and quietly make some preparations, so as to protect the stability of the country.
The courtiers on the side of Emperor Taijia all sweated and stared at Lu Li tightly, and King Su and Bai Shi were also paying attention to Lu Li's movements. King Su covered his face, his eyes were heavy, his smile was sweet when he was white, and his eyes were expectant, they were all waiting for Lu Li to make a fool of himself.
Shen Wansha's face puffed up, if it weren't for the current royal drive, he would really be able to jump over and beat people!
Hu Weiwei smiled and hugged Shen Wansha's shoulder: "Young master, don't worry, Bai Shi is so well-behaved, I feel pitiful, but I can't slack off......"
These words were said slowly and gently, but Shen Wansha shuddered somehow. He turned his head around and looked at Hu Weiwei's face. This face is still as charming as a summer flower, and the beautiful eyes are sparkling inside, and the smile is full of amorous ......
Every time she laughs so charmingly and so hard, it means that someone is going to be unlucky.
"You ......" Shen Wansha wanted to say, 'You are worried', but when he turned his head and wanted to let go of Bai, his heart was even more unhappy, and his words were a little stuck.
"What are you worried about?" Hu Weiwei nodded the tip of Shen Wansha's nose, "Bai Shi has repeatedly bullied the master, I will not let him go." But am I, Hu Weiwei, a person from Hu Lai? Of course, I know how to start best......"
Shen Wansha's eyes widened, "Bai Shi really hurt the little oak again, didn't he!" Did you see it? "He has this feeling, but there is no evidence, and he was a little weak before, if Hu Weiwei saw it......
"Do you still need to see this?" Hu Weiwei sneered coldly, "This person is well-behaved on the face, but in fact he is quite scheming, he never appears when he is not necessary, as long as he appears, he must have made all preparations." β
Shen Wansha looked at Lu Li in the field, his eyes straightened: "So he is...... Want to pit a small oak? β
The other party came prepared, how can the little oak get through this difficulty?
β¦β¦
Many people outside the field were worried, and Lu Oak didn't know anything about it. Not just stunned, he quickly flashed through his mind what he had learned in the past, thinking about the possibility of Liu Cheng doing bad things under his nose.
This time is actually not long, because the atmosphere is too tense and everyone has their own thoughts, and this moment is extremely long......
Finally, Lu Li's fingertips jumped, his eyes narrowed, and he thought of a possibility.
Liu Cheng sorted out all the bones, sighed, and looked back at Lu Li: "The bones of the deceased have blue and black marks all over the body, so they should have died of poisoning." β
"Really?" Lu Li stepped forward, looked at the surface of the corpse, and rubbed it with his hand.
There are indeed black marks on the surface of the bones, and the color of the finger touch does not fall, but the black marks are uneven and intermittent, with some places and some places not.
Liu Cheng saw that his fingertips lightly touched the white bones that did not have a jet-black color, his heart jumped, he pressed down his uneasiness hard, and said solemnly: "Xu is the poison and toxicity of Princess Yan during her lifetime, and Xu Princess Yan did not suffer too much during her lifetime, so she went simply, and the blue and black marks on the bones were uneven." β
Lu Li didn't answer Liu Cheng's words, only looked at his hand, "I just saw Mr. Liu wiping his hands with a handkerchief." β
Liu Cheng was stunned, "This ...... The bones have not seen the light of day for a long time, and there is always some obscurity, I touched the bones and wiped my hands...... Questions? β
"I want to wipe my hands too, would you like to borrow a handkerchief?"
Liu Cheng's eyes became vigilant: "What does Mr. Lu mean by this, obviously wearing gloves, but borrowing me a handkerchief?" β
"I just looked at Mr. Liu's delicate handkerchief and wanted to borrow it." Lu Li's eyebrows and eyes were peaceful, smiling, and his attitude was very kind.
Liu Cheng felt more and more uneasy, and took half a step back, "My handkerchief is dirty, but it's not good to borrow it from Mr., how important it is to open the coffin for an autopsy today, why should Mr. waste time on such a trivial matter?" β
The two seemed to have an argument, and they looked like they were having a good show...... Everyone outside the arena immediately closed their mouths, silent, and looked over with blazing eyes.
In such a quiet time as "Moon Rou ......", King Su's grief voice was particularly clear.
Lord Wang flicked his sleeves and raised his voice: "The autopsy is important, Mr. Lu should not be entangled by foreign objects!" β
Lord Zhou glanced at the emperor, turned his gaze to Lord Wang, and his voice was slightly cold: "Why should Lord Wang be in a hurry?" You need to have a result today, you don't know how to perform an autopsy, so it's better not to meddle casually. β
"Youβ" Lord Wang's eyes narrowed slightly.
Lord Zhou ignored him and turned his gaze to look at the two people in the field.
Liu Cheng didn't want to make a veil, Lu Li had already guessed it. He was not in a hurry, he held his hands, raised his chin slightly, and raised his voice: "I have heard that there is a poisonous weed in Lin'an, called cheap grass, which can dye human bones black after being boiled into paste. β
What the? Poison? Can human bones be blackened?
The amount of information is too much, and the eyes of people outside the venue immediately change differently, could it be that there is something wrong with this corpse!
Shen Wansha looked at Bai Shi for the first time, only to see that Bai Shi's eyes were wide open, and there was surprise in him, and he immediately understood, this bastard is this little oak with this thing!
There's still this thing in the world...... It's really impossible to prevent it, if Lu Li doesn't know, he will be pitted in vain today!
Liu Cheng was still calm, his eyes drooped slightly, and his voice was surprised: "Mr. Lu means that this corpse has been manipulated?" He glanced carefully at Emperor Taijia on the dragon chair, "But the coffin of Princess Ke Yan was personally escorted back to Beijing by the emperor's guards, and it was not opened during the period......
Lu Li's eyes were sharp, and he dared to bite him back?
Mr. Liu said cautiously. Don't you say that no one with a little bit of style will do such an ugly thing, but only say that it is beneficial for such a thing to be done? The results of the bone examination showed that the princess was poisoned and died, who would want to see it? β
That's a great question. Liu Cheng alluded to Lu Li's slander of Emperor Taijia, and Lu Li started from the results to clear the suspicions of Emperor Taijia and his family. Who would want such a result, obviously, King Su!
As long as it is proved that Princess Yan died of poisoning, not as announced by the first emperor back then, Emperor Taijia's face couldn't help it, King Su became pitiful, and King Su took the opportunity to show XiΓ n again, not to mention anything else, the harvest must be quite rich.
Liu Cheng's eyes widened, "Then what are you alluding to!" β
Lu Li sneered: "Mr. Liu is smart, can't you even hear this?" β
The onlookers shouted, "Stupid! He's referring to you! β
Liu Cheng's face darkened, he glanced at the direction of the voice indignantly, and looked at Lu Li: "Mr. Lu really thinks so?" The coffin of the princess was well guarded, and I never had a chance to approach it, and I only came into contact when I was undressing the bones. The bones of the corpse are blue and black, and Mr. has also wiped them with his fingers, and there is no fading, if it is dyed by us, how can it have such a miraculous effect? I used a handkerchief, and only wiped the dust stains between my fingers, and there was no blue or black color on my hands, how can my husband be so sure that I have done my hands and feet? β
"This medicine is strong, it penetrates into the bones, and it can't be washed away without special methods, are you sure I can't do anything about you?" Lu Li's pupils rolled and he smiled slightly, "Actually, it's very simple, the real poison is from the inside of the bone to the outside, the surface of the bone is blue and black, and the inside is even more blue and black; And this medicine seeps from the outside in, time is in a hurry, you use less medicine, there will be no difference in the bones, as long as the bones are broken-"
Before these words were finished, King Su quit, "My wife exposed her body, it's already pitiful, how can she still break her bones!" "Is this insulting to him!
Lu Li really stimulated him. King Su expressed this way, to say that it was involuntary, and to say that it was involuntary, and to say that it was dissatisfied with the emperor. The opening of the coffin for the autopsy was ordered by the emperor himself, but he said that he was pitiful...... Who are you trying to see?
Lu Li saw that King Su realized that something was wrong, his face changed, and he didn't say much, and accepted it when he saw it. He looked at King Su with a smile: "King Su, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet." Of course, Princess Chang can't be offended, but Mr. Liu Cheng ...... But they can be searched. β
King Su's eyes narrowed, this kid did it on purpose!
I obviously thought about searching his body, but I used broken bones to fish him!
Sure enough, it's the same as Zhao Zhu, it's not a good match...... King Su straightened his expression, reminded himself to deal with it carefully, and did not stop Lu Li for a while.
That's what Lu Li was waiting for. After searching Liu Cheng, King Su didn't say anything, and his personal guard group was naturally not easy to come out, and it was impossible for the emperor to object......
"Fang Jian, search your body."
When the leader of the Praetorian Guard came over on the emperor's order, Lu Li avoided people and threw a rather murderous look at Liu Cheng: Tell you to calculate me!
Liu Cheng's frightened face turned white, but now, he has no power to return to the sky.
He was instructed in a thousand ways beforehand, and he himself was cautious, and he didn't do anything wrong, who knew that Lu Li's eyes were so sharp!
Doesn't it mean that no one knows about this thing, why would Lu Li know!
Fang Jian searched out a small jar from Liu Cheng's body, which contained a transparent paste and no special taste.
Lu Li looked at it with appreciation, "Good craftsmanship!" It must have taken a lot of effort to make the paste like this! "He can't do it himself, the cheap grass smells bad, the boiling will have a great foot smell, and the color is not good-looking.
can do ugly things, so hard work, Lu Li is very disdainful.
His gaze fell on Bai Shi on the sidelines.
Bai Shi's eyes subconsciously dodged, and after dodging, he felt unwilling, biting his lip and looking back, Lu Li's eyes were no longer on him!
Bai Shi was angry in his heart, and he thought that Liu Wei was not enough, and he received such a big benefit from the prince, but he didn't know how to do it!
Fang Jian tried to take a little paste and rubbed it on the white bones of Princess Yan's toes, and the white bones instantly turned black......
There was an uproar at the scene.
It turned out to be true!
To do such a thing under everyone's noses!
Everyone condemned and looked at Liu Cheng, but Liu Cheng did not plead, lowered his head and did not speak. Fang Jian asked him who instructed him, and he suddenly jumped up, wanting to snatch the saber from Fang Jian's waist and commit suicide!
This behavior is obviously preferring death to recruitment.
As the leader of the Praetorian Guard, Fang Jian was not unable to cure him, but the most important thing now was the bone examination...... He looked at Emperor Taijia, "Your Majestyβ"
If you ask for a confession now, I'm afraid you won't get anything......
Emperor Taijia's eyes shimmered, and he waved his hand, "Take him down for questioning, and the bone examination continues." β
"Yes!"
Fang Jian dragged Liu Cheng down and asked Lu Li to continue the bone examination.
Lu Li exhaled a long breath, and finally could test normally...... He didn't hesitate, took the box from Hu Weiwei on the sidelines, and walked to the corpse table.
The first step is to deal with the blue and black traces that have been contaminated by Liu Cheng.
Fortunately, the traces are very new, and they can't be wiped off by hand, but the wine vinegar can be washed, if it stays for more than two hours, it will penetrate too deeply, and I am afraid that it will not be washed off no matter how it is washed......
After Lu Li washed away the blue and black marks, he observed the bones of the deceased again. Over the years, the bones are fragile and easy to break, and although the bones are complete, they are not broken. Unfortunately, it is difficult to tell whether it was a collision during transportation or a fracture when the body was buried.
In modern times, there are various instruments for analysis, and in ancient times, there was no way, such as applying special cakes. In Xingyuan Mansion before, Lu Li used this method when he examined the corpse of the gang boss.
But today it's different. In the cold winter, the weather is fine, but it is still very cold, and the hot and scalding cake will become cold in a moment, and the effect is limited......
Lu Li pondered for a moment, then turned to kneel towards Emperor Taijia and asked: "The bones have passed away for many years, and the traces are difficult to identify. β
Emperor Taijia raised his hand: "You will be in charge of the opening of the coffin and the autopsy, and you will be as you wish." β
"Emperor Xie!" Lu Li raised his head, his eyes were clear and he smiled, "First of all, please ask the emperor to send someone to dig a deep pit, five feet long, three feet wide, and two feet deep." β
Emperor Taijia bowed his head, and the eunuchs beside him immediately arranged it. Emperor Taijia was holding a delicate hand stove in his hand, and his eyes were full of interest when he looked at Lu Li, what does this little guy want to do?
When the old eunuch came, Lu Li asked for some things, such as a few catties of firewood and charcoal, two liters of spirits, five liters of vinegar, two straw mats, a red oil umbrella, and a few feet of twine......
Emperor Taijia was present, there was no shortage of manpower, and the speed was quite fast, and the deep pit that Lu Li wanted was dug quickly.
Lu Li looked at the four walls of the pit, nodded, and asked the guards to put the firewood and charcoal fire in it and start the fire. While waiting, he took the twine, threaded the bones of King Su's concubine according to the shape of the bone structure, and put them on the mat on the side.
The old eunuch didn't understand Lu Li's intentions, so he came over from time to time to remind: "The fire is very strong......
"How long is it going to burn?"
"Do you want to continue adding firewood?"
The people were also curious, what was this going to do? Do you want to burn the bones? They subconsciously looked at King Su and said that King Su would definitely not allow it.
Yu Zhi's face was a little bad because of the apprentice's matter, and Lu Li's action quickly drew his attention back. What is this method? It's so fresh! Yu Zhi's eyes lit up. When I turned around and thought about it, I was relieved again, before Lu Li, he was the most powerful man in Great Xia, and almost all of the works in the state capitals of Great Xia were his apprentices, not his own inheritance and guidance, the same rice raised hundreds of people, not that he was wrong, but that the number of apprentices was too large...... Yu Zhi's mood changed sharply, let go of the past, and looked at Lu Li's bones seriously.
Shen Wansha has followed Lu Lizi for so long, he has never seen this kind of method, and now his eyes are shining, and he pulls Hu Weiwei's sleeve again and again: "Look at the little oak making people dig holes!" β
"Burn the fire, burn the fire!"
"The bones were put together!"
Everyone on the field was attracted by Lu Li, curious, admired, awe-inspired, and expectant...... Only when he was white, his eyes were full of resentment. Again, every time! Lu Li always stepped on him to climb up!
β¦β¦
Lu Li didn't care what everyone in the audience thought, and only stared at his own affairs.
When the pit wall at the bottom of the pit burned red, Lu Li asked the guards to extinguish the open fire, poured all the prepared wine vinegar into the pit, and took advantage of the heat to ask the guards to put the mat and bones into the pit together, and then cover it with straw mats.
"This is steamed bones." After Lu Li finished doing a qiΔ, he turned around and explained to Emperor Taijia, "The bones of the corpse are broken, the traces are difficult to judge, the cold in the deep winter, and the effect of hot compresses is not good. β
He was dressed in moon-white clothes, his figure was straight, his fingers were jade white and slender, and his face was more like a bright moon, handsome and exquisite. Now with a smile on his face, he talked eloquently about the method of steaming bones and autopsy, and the atmosphere was elegant and noble, which made everyone present feel unclear.
Shen Wansha's face turned red, and he continued to pull Hu Weiwei's sleeve: "Steamed bones, the little oak said it was steamed bones!" β
Hu Weiwei was also very excited, "Mmmmmmmmmmmm β
The people also exclaimed: "Oh...... It turned out to be steamed bones......"
"Fresh, fresh, it's the first time I've lived so long, I've seen it for a long time!"
"Who says it's not, this method looks so powerful, Mr. Lu is so skilled!"
"Tsk, you don't know this, this Mr. Lu is amazing, he can hear the deceased! If the deceased's injuries are too deep to speak, he will also cut his stomach and look at the internal organs to know how the deceased died! β
"This Mr. Lu is so handsome......"
The people whispered, their eyes were shining, and their attention was all on Lu Li, as for who Lu Li's bones belonged to, and what kind of grievances and entanglements they had, everyone didn't care at all!
King Su watched the changes in the field, his hands clenched into fists under his sleeves, and his eyes became cold.
β¦β¦
When the temperature in the pit cooled, Lu Li asked the guards to carry the corpse out and place it on the corpse platform.
He himself took the red oil umbrella and covered the bones to look closely.
Soon, he had the result: "Looking at the characteristics of the deceased, it should be that he rolled down a high staircase, broke a bone and punctured his internal organs, and died of massive bleeding." β
As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent again, and it was really a fall to death?
Then the first emperor was not wrong...... The first emperor was right, where did the word of poisoning come from?
People are not stupid, but sometimes they don't think so long-term, they believe what they see, what they hear, and once the evidence appears and breaks the status quo, they will also think deeply, is there something going on?
The atmosphere of the scene changed again, revealing a little eccentric.
Lord Wang saw that it was not good, stood a step forward, and narrowed his eyes: "Please also ask Mr. Lu to solve your doubts!" β
"Okay." Lu Li smiled at him and pointed to the corpse, "The limbs, head, shoulders, chest, and back of the deceased all have broken bones or broken bones, and those with broken bones have red lines in the middle, and a faint shade of blood; In the case of broken bones, there is a blood halo at both ends, and the light examination is ruddy, these are all prenatal injuries. β
"The fourth and fifth ribs of the deceased's left chest were broken and bent downward, and the shade of blood was particularly obvious, which should have pierced the heart according to its position...... This should be a fatal injury. β
What kind of process will cause such a complicated and delicate bone crack, and even a fatal injury such as a broken rib in the heart? Combined with the situation at the time, Lu Li believed that the cause of the princess's death was almost certain, and she just rolled down the high steps and died.
Lord Zhou stroked his beard and looked at Lu Li with a smile: "So the death of Princess Yan can't be poisoning?" β
"There are no signs of poisoning." Lu Li shook his head.
Lord Wang snorted coldly: "When the princess died, the seven tricks were bleeding, how do you explain it!" β
Lord Zhou's eyes were slightly cold: "Where did Lord Wang determine the cause of Princess Yan's death and come here to question?" β
These words are righteous and awe-inspiring, very imposing, and there seems to be something hidden in the voice......
Lord Wang's body stiffened, he glanced at Emperor Taijia on the dragon chair, and immediately knelt down: "The lower official has no other intentions, but this rumor is very widespread, the coffin will be opened today for an autopsy, and the truth must be revealed......
"I wanted the truth to come out, Wang Aiqing is right, what are you doing on your knees? Get up. Emperor Taijia also smiled and encouraged him, "If Mr. Lu can't answer what you can ask, I will reward you." β
After that, Emperor Taijia looked at Lu Li: "How is it, can Mr. Lu answer?" β
"Nature." Lu Li looked at Lord Wang, "Lord Wang asked why the deceased was bleeding from seven holes at that time, it is normal, anyone who rolls down from the high steps and hits his head will bleed, Lord Wang doesn't believe it, you can ask Mr. Yu, if you don't believe it, you can try to roll it yourself." β
"Poofβ"
The onlookers laughed: "Try it yourself hahaha!" β
"Poisoning may bleed from seven holes, but bleeding from seven holes is not necessarily poisoning, I know all about this!"
Lord Wang's face was gloomy, and his gaze staring at Lu Li was unusually unkind.
Lu Licai was not afraid of him, he was smiling, his expression was very calm, and his voice was very steady: "Lord Wang, do you still have something to ask?" β
"Even so," said Lord Wang, with a dark expression and a sharp voice, "is it not possible to be tortured and beaten?" It must have been rolled down the steps! β
