Chapter 114: The Murderer

Veteran Wu took the needle, and two imperial doctors came to turn Yuan Rui over.

As soon as the person turned over, Twilight Qing first looked at the crook of Yuan Rui's right leg, pressed his hand, and said, "Sure enough." ”

She pressed Yuan Rui's arm again, his right arm was bitten by the poisonous insect and festered deeply, but his left arm was still intact, Twilight pressed his forearm, palm, and examined his elbow. After looking at it, she didn't look at Yuan Rui's back, and said to the two imperial doctors: "Turn it over!" ”

The two imperial doctors acted as they said, and after retreating, they saw Twilight Qing break Yuan Rui's mouth and look at his lips and tongue, and then cut his trouser belt with a knife, and said, "Turn it over again!" ”

Yuan Xiu's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and he said, "You ......"

"Shut up!" Twilight Qing didn't raise his head, neatly pulled down Yuan Rui's trousers, pressed a few times on his bruised skin with two fingers, and neatly pulled the trousers up, the whole process of examination was just a blink of an eye, and it was quick and decisive.

Bu Xihuan lowered his head and drank tea, Yuan Xiu was still in a daze when he was yelled, and Du Qing had already completed the examination.

"Got it." She said.

Bu Xihuan raised his eyes from the cold tea, but Du Qing did not clearly say the conclusion of the injury examination, and only said to Yuan Xiu: "Who was the general who accompanied Rui Gongzi to the underground palace that day?" Get this man and give me another room. ”

"The person who accompanies Yuan Rui? You said Qingzhou general Wu Zheng? Yuan Xiu asked.

"Qingzhou general?" Just one day after Dusk Qing came back, he only speculated that Yuan Rui came to the northwest and brought people, but he didn't know that it was from Qingzhou.

"Do you suspect that Wu Zheng is assassinating my eldest brother?" Yuan Xiu asked in a deep voice.

"Is it not, I found out after the trial, the general only sent someone to invite, saying that if there is something to ask, I will ask as soon as I go to the house."

"Good!" Yuan Xiu nodded, and went outside the house with his hands, the soldiers in the house were sent by him to investigate the poisoning of other soldiers in the underground palace, there was no one outside the house, he had to go to find someone to do something.

Twilight Qing stopped him again, "When the general sent someone to send a message, he told Wu Zheng that he wanted him to bring all the soldiers who entered the underground palace with Rui Gongzi that day, and this word must be reached." ”

She specially instructed this, and Yuan Xiu knew that there was a deep meaning in her words, and her face sank a little more unconsciously, and she turned around and went out.

When Wu Zheng came, he only brought three Qingzhou soldiers, Yuan Xiu saw Wu Zheng in the main hall, and after a greeting, Wu Zheng said: "If the general has anything to ask, just ask, and the last general will know everything." ”

Yuan Xiu didn't like to beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "It's not that I want to see General Wu today, but General Yingrui has something to ask the general." ”

"General Wise?" Wu Zheng's eyes changed slightly, and then he asked with a smile, "But that young man surnamed Zhou from the Northwest New Army?" The five-rank Zhonglang general who was enshrined a few days ago? ”

"Exactly."

"Then I don't know what General Yingrui has to ask?"

"General Wu has been in the northwest these days, and he must have heard about Yingrui's military career. She is a person, good at examining death and injury, I have some confusion about the eldest brother's poisoning, let Ying Rui test the injury this morning, she asked General Wu to come over to the house. I think she wanted to ask about the things in the dungeon that day. "Yuan Xiu has a kind attitude.

Wu Zheng did not show an unhappy look, but responded very understandingly, "I see, Rui Gongzi is the brother of the general, and this great disaster is really due to the last general's poor protection, and it is natural for the general to ask." I don't know where General Yingrui is? ”

Yuan Xiu was a little surprised, glanced at Wu Zheng deeply, and said: "She is waiting in the back hall, if General Wu doesn't mind, accompany me to drink tea in the hall first, and let the people you bring go to meet Yingrui first." ”

The person brought by the seer Wu Zheng is the meaning of twilight.

"Since the general said so, the last general will naturally obey his fate." Wu Zheng was slightly surprised and responded with a smile.

Yuan Xiu gave the pro-soldier a look, and the pro-soldier took the three Qingzhou soldiers to the back hall.

The back hall of the General's Mansion is three rooms wide, and the door is only half open.

It was nearly noon, the autumn sun was hanging high, and a young general sat in the hall, with a snow robe and a silver crown, clear and cold, and the eyebrows and eyes were cold and heroic.

A Qingzhou soldier was brought into the house, the door was closed behind him, and he said tremblingly: "General, general......"

"Sit." Twilight said and lowered her head to drink tea.

The Qingzhou soldier glanced at the broad chair in front of her and didn't dare to sit down.

"Military order, sit." Twilight put the teacup on the table, and with a click, the Qingzhou soldiers jumped.

Dusk Qing is the general of the Northwest New Army, and the Qingzhou soldiers belong to the Qingzhou Army. The so-called official level crushed people to death, not to mention that the person in front of him was still a five-grade Zhonglang general who was sealed by the Holy Decree.

The Qingzhou soldier sat on half of the chair with his buttocks, his back straight, his head lowered, and his eyes slightly floating.

"Look up." A voice came from in front of him, and the Qingzhou soldier raised his head in surprise, and wanted to lower his head as soon as he touched Twilight's gaze, only to hear her say, "I ask, you answer, cooperate." It's almost noon, and I don't want to miss lunch. ”

The corner of the soldier's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart that this rumored young general really took the matter of food seriously. He nodded, and as soon as he nodded, he heard Twilight open her mouth.

"Have you ever gone down to the underground palace with Rui Gongzi?"

"Yes."

"Which day will you go to the dungeon?"

"Uh......" The soldier was stunned, panic flashed in his eyes, and he secretly pulled his fingers to count, today is the twenty-first, returned to the city for two days, and walked on the road for five days, it seems to be the underground palace under the previous day, "The underground palace under the tenth and thirteenth days!" ”

"Okay, got it, you go down." Twilight said lightly.

"...... huh?

Before coming, the general explained so much, but only asked two questions?

"Take him out." Twilight said to the door, and as soon as the words fell, the door opened, and the soldier who had just brought the person in in, unceremoniously invited the person out, and then brought the next one in.

Twilight Qing was still the same, let the Qingzhou soldier sit, looked up at her, and asked, "Have you gone down to the underground palace with Prince Rui?" ”

The Qingzhou soldier replied: "Yes." ”

"Which day will you go to the dungeon?"

"Uh......" The soldier was also stunned, as if he had thought about the various questions in the dungeon that would be asked, but he didn't expect to be asked about the day, he also thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of it, and said: "No, I don't remember which day I went to the dungeon......

He cautiously looked at Twilight's expression, only to see her take a cold sip of tea and say, "Got it, go down." ”

The door opened, the person was taken down, and after the last person was brought in, it was still the same question, and the person couldn't remember clearly, "I don't remember which day it was in the underground palace, and the little one doesn't remember the day, the general asked us to go down to the underground palace, and we went down to the underground palace, which cares about the day?" ”

"Well, let's go down." No matter how the soldier explained, Twilight only called someone out and said to the soldier, "General Wu, please." ”

Wu Zheng's tea hour came, and Yuan Xiu came with him, but he didn't enter the house, leaving Wu Zheng alone in the house to face Du Qing.

Wu Zheng only felt that the time for her to interrogate the three people was too short, and he thought that it would take half an hour to say less, but in the front hall, he just accompanied Yuan Xiu to drink a cup of tea and someone came to invite him.

What is the question, such a short time?

He was suspicious in his heart, and when he entered the room, he didn't consciously look at Twilight, only that she didn't look amazing, if she wasn't wearing a robe, she really couldn't find a face in the crowd. Such a appearance is unimaginable to be the same person he heard in the Northwest Army.

"General Yingrui's name is like thunder, and it is a blessing that Wu can see it today." Wu Zheng smiled kindly.

The Qingzhou army is in the mainland, there is no war all the year round, and when Wu Zheng was established, his appearance was not outstanding, compared with the military generals in the northwest, he seemed to be a bit of a literati.

"General Wu, please take a seat, I have a few words I want to ask the general, I hope the general will tell you the truth." Twilight stood up to greet her, her face pale and pale. Wu Zhengwu's position is one grade higher than her, but there is no title, and when the two meet, they can treat each other as equals with Daxing official etiquette.

Wu Zheng had heard that Twilight Qing had a withdrawn and cold temperament, but he didn't expect her to even have a greeting, so direct. He was unhappy, but his face was not revealed, he sat down with a smile, and asked, "What does the general want to ask?" ”

"Rui Gongzi's poison was laid by you." Twilight gets straight to the point, and her words are not shocking and endless.

Wu Zhengben smiled, his face was stunned, and then he turned cold, and asked, "What does General Yingrui mean by this?" ”

"You deceived Rui Gongzi into going down to the underground palace on the grounds that you had found the Golden Divine Armor or the whereabouts of General Yuan, and you kicked him while he was unprepared, and that kick was in the crook of his right leg, which was not far from the wall, and he landed on his right knee, hit the wall and bounced back, and fell to the ground again. In the process, the poisonous insect bit his left cheek and right palm and right arm, and you were afraid that the poison would not be enough to kill him, so you fed poison to his mouth while he was screaming in panic. ”

"His lips were blistered, his tongue was swollen, his abdomen was swollen, and his body was bruised. The military doctors did not suspect that he was fed with medicine, but it was because he was poisoned by insects, thinking that it was caused by insect poison. However, the poison of the poisonous insects in the underground palace is corrosive, and if a person is injured, only the wound is ulcerated, and it is impossible to show the appearance of taking poison with bruises all over the body. I asked people to check the injuries of the Northwest soldiers who were bitten by poisonous insects in the underground palace, and all the living ones were festered by insect bites, and there was no bruise all over the body, which shows that Rui Gongzi had taken poison. ”

"Rui Gongzi's whole body is bruised, except for insect bites, it is not easy to see the fall, but it can be touched. In the case of subcutaneous hemorrhage, the injury will be swollen and bulging, and the damage will reflect the shape of the contact surface of the injured object, so it can be inferred that the murder weapon is identified. Rui Gongzi's right leg has a meniscus stiff swelling, very similar to the tip of the boot, the shoes of the general soldiers in the army are round-toed, only the military positions above the military marquis are equipped with combat boots, and the tips of the boots are mostly pointed. In addition, Rui Gongzi's palms and buttocks were also detected with subcutaneous bleeding, and his palms and elbows were bruised. If you kick him from behind, he should knock him forward, and his elbows and buttocks will not hurt, but the reason for the injury must be that he hit something and the force bounces back. He must have hit the wall at that time, and if he had hit someone, the force should not have been so great, and the injury should not have been so severe. ”

"After General Lu ordered someone to break open the door of the underground palace, poisonous insects poured out, and he ordered people to withdraw and burned the underground palace again. Most of the poisonous insects were burned to death, but there were some who survived, but there were fewer than the previous ones. When you saw a poisonous insect, you should have wanted the poisonous insect to bite Rui Gongzi's head, but there was a deviation, and the poisonous insect bit his cheek. You see that he was bitten by a poisonous insect but did not die, so you can only take the opportunity to feed the poison, you think that he has been poisoned, but you can cover up the past, but you do not understand the poison, you do not know the poison, the injury is different. ”

"But I don't understand why you want to kill him with poisonous insects, there are many mechanisms in the underground palace, and you can obviously use the mechanism to kill him. The only thing I can think of is that the reason is Rui Gongzi, he should be a cautious and suspicious person, you can't find a chance to start, after seeing the poisonous insect, your brain is hot, and you can take advantage of it. ”

Without any extra questions, Wu Zheng didn't expect Twilight to meet him and tell him everything he had done. Before he came to the General's Mansion, he had already prepared and thought of a perfect way to deal with it, but he didn't expect Twilight to act unreasonably, he thought she would ask, but she didn't ask a word.

Wu Zheng didn't know how to react for a while, but he heard Twilight Qing ask, "Do you know what questions I asked those three people?" ”

Where does Wu Zheng know? He was unable to answer for a while, only to hear Twilight Qing say again: "The three of them have never been to the underground palace at all, and the people who followed you down to the underground palace are all dead, right?" ”――
