The Empress Dowager looked at Lord Zongzheng, "The mourning family didn't expect that Lord Zongzheng was also very interested in this case. Since the previous record was too general and did not explain many things clearly, the mourning family thought that they should find a new autopsy. ”

Lord Zongzheng bowed to the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother is reasonable, but the body has been buried, and now I am afraid that it will be inappropriate to dig it out of the soil, right?" ”

"What's wrong?" The Queen Mother pretended not to know.

Zong Zheng said: "Maybe those snakes, insects, ant beasts gnawed that corpse beyond recognition, and it won't be of much use for us to dig it up." Moreover, these errand men all died in the execution of their errands, and their relatives have just been appeased, and we are going to dig graves and open museums, and the relatives of the deceased are afraid that it will be difficult to accept. ”

The Empress Dowager looked at Lord Gong.

Lord Gong smiled flatteringly at the Empress Dowager, echoing Lord Zongzheng's words, "Lord Zongzheng also has a point. ”

"What does Master Gong mean?" The Queen Mother deliberately made an attitude of no longer insisting.

Lord Gong finally waited for the empress dowager to relent, and then said with some excitement: "Ji'an hurt people before, and he has already experienced corpses, although the records are not very detailed, and the time of the deceased's death, and what the wounds and weapons that put the deceased in the place of death are not particularly clear, but the overall context is clear, so Weichen thinks that this Ji'an is the murderer." ”

Lord Zongzheng immediately saluted the Empress Dowager and said, "Since this case has been understood, and there are no relatives of the emperor to shield the murderer, then Weichen will go back first." ”

"Master Zongzheng seems to be in a hurry."

The Empress Dowager is still dignified and calm, but the sternness implied in her eyes is not to be underestimated by the high-minded Lord Zongzheng.

Lord Zongzheng replied respectfully: "The Empress Dowager is serious, Wechen just thinks that this case has been understood, Wechen's duties have been fulfilled, and it is time to go back and restore his life." ”

The Empress Dowager no longer paid attention to Lord Zongzheng, and turned to look at Lord Gong, "Lord Gong, did you also decide the case like this before?" ”

Lord Gong and Lord Zongzheng only understood what the Empress Dowager meant at this moment, they thought that the Empress Dowager was old and confused, but now the body is buried again, although it is feasible to conduct another autopsy, it is too difficult to obtain the consent of the family. And it's too hard to find something new in an unrecognizable, perhaps decomposed corpse.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother had no intention of closing the case immediately.

Lord Gong's back was already covered with sweat, and the back of his clothes was already soaked with sweat.

"What does the Queen Mother mean?"

Lord Gong was completely unsure of what the Queen Mother was thinking.

The queen mother's tone suddenly became cold, and she said: "Fortunately, the emperor and the people of the world don't know about today's affairs, if the emperor and the people of the world know, I don't know what to think of Lord Gong, the lord of the criminal department." Judgment is about evidence, even I, a woman, know something, Lord Gong, who has received a special case judgment, will not know? What could be found in the previous work was too limited, so why didn't the autopsy be carried out again? Is Lord Gong afraid of something, or is someone else putting pressure on Lord Gong? ”

Lord Gong felt a tingling in his scalp, and hurriedly smiled, "The Queen Mother is serious, no one has put pressure on Weichen, Weichen must have done his best to judge the case, this time there are witnesses in the case, and it is said that Ji'an beat the three officials to vomit blood." The servants had already experienced corpses, and the three officials had indeed died because they had been beaten. If the Empress Dowager felt uneasy, Weichen would definitely be willing to go again, hoping that the relatives of the three deceased officials would agree to the autopsy. ”

When Lord Zongzheng heard this, he stared at Lord Gong in surprise, no matter how stupid Lord Gong was, he knew that at this time, he should choose to follow the Queen Mother or Master Zongzheng.

After the Empress Dowager heard Lord Gong's compromising words, her expression did not ease, and she still said sternly: "It's not that the mourning family is not at ease, but the emperor is not at ease, the people of Daqi are not at ease, and the laws of Daqi are not at ease." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." After all these twists and turns, Master Gong had to reluctantly agree.

Lord Zongzheng's expression was not very good-looking, but in front of the Queen Mother, he didn't dare to say anything, but said a little depressedly: "I hope this case will not drag on for too long, otherwise the relatives of the three officials will feel cold." ”

"Lord Zongzheng's concern for the country and the people makes the mourning family admire, but the mourning family really doesn't know when Lord Zongzheng began to be uninterested in affairs within his duties? Does Master Zongzheng want to take care of the criminal department with Master Gong? The mourning family heard that you have some friendship before, and if you really have such a plan, the mourning family will tell the emperor. ”

The Empress Dowager had no intention of letting Master Zongzheng go.

The Empress Dowager's words made Lord Zongzheng not feel much of a threat, but instead made Lord Gong on the side feel a chill in his back, and hurriedly smiled: "The Empress Dowager said that she laughed, Lord Zongzheng also came here today at the emperor's behest." Why don't we quit the court first, and then we will open the court after we find a suitable job and explain the relatives of the three officials? ”

Lord Zongzheng also had this intention, and the queen mother suddenly intervened in this matter, and it was a lot more difficult to do at once, so he could only delay the army first. The queen mother's health is not very good, and when the time comes, find a day when the queen mother is sick in bed and conclude the case, even if it is the king of heaven, it will be difficult to do.

Besides, after a long time, that kid in Ji'an will always be restless, even if he is peaceful, Master Zongzheng has a hundred ways to make him cause something.

When the time comes, I am not afraid that I will not find a way to let Ji'an go to see the king of Hades. What's more, the more extraneous the branches, the busier Dong Rong will be. When the time comes, the Maitreya Sect will launch another provocation, and Concubine Bo will attack Dong Rong's workshop again to see how she Dong Rong will respond.

However, the Queen Mother said: "You don't have to wait until later, you can immediately send an autopsy." ”

"This ......"

Lord Gong and Master Zongzheng looked at each other, and Lord Gong couldn't help but ask questions in the end, "...... relatives of this official errand?"

"They have agreed, you go to find a servant, you have learned the lesson of the last time, and the mourning family hopes that the servant you find is no longer an inexperienced mediocre person."

As soon as the Empress Dowager's words fell, an official messenger came in to report that the people from the Zhongshan Palace's palace had sent three corpses, which were the corpses of the three officials.

They were followed by the relatives of the three officials, and they all wanted Lord Gong to give them a clear explanation, and they didn't want their relatives to die in vain.

Dong Rong was very surprised, why didn't she think of starting with the corpse?

Also, who ordered this corpse to be moved?

Dong Rong's mind flashed the figure of Murong Huaide.

It was an old woman over fifty years old, who walked steadily, without squinting, with a stern but not overly low face, and she carefully examined the three well-preserved corpses, which took half an hour.

He glanced at Master Zongzheng, who smiled and looked like he was in a state of victory.

The servant presented the record to Lord Gong, and at the same time explained the injuries of the corpse, and finally said: "So, Lord Gong, these three officials were not beaten to death with fists, but by people with palm power. ”

"What's the special meaning of that?" Lord Gong was puzzled, Ji'an could hit people with his fists, couldn't he hit people with palm power?

Master Zongzheng was a little nervous, what did this servant have to say?

He said again: "Back to Lord Gong's words, it just so happens that the folk girl knows a little about martial arts. ”

He walked to Ji'an's side and looked at Ji'an carefully. Ji An was a little frightened by this expressionless and gloomy face, and when he approached, he shrunk into a ball.

He said: "Ji'an's martial arts are mainly based on fists, and the moves make people hurt, but he has never touched the fatal part of the body of these three officials. ”

"Then how did you say these three officials died?" Master Zongzheng finally couldn't hold it anymore and asked sharply.

He looked very calm, "If you go back to your lordship, the person who killed these three officials is good at using palm power, and it is a lethal move, so it is easy to recognize." In the rivers and lakes, there is indeed such a sect that can send out this kind of palm power, and can kill the court officials with one palm. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? What palm power, fist? Since he was beaten to death, and Ji'an was the only one who beat people, isn't the answer obvious? Where did you come from? ”

Lord Zongzheng was completely enraged, he thought it was a trivial matter, and he just wanted to use Ji'an to lure out Dong Rong, but he didn't expect that he didn't say it as he wished, but was forced step by step, and now he pulled out the Maitreya Sect.

He looked calm and blessed Lord Zongzheng, "Isn't it Lord Zongzheng who asked the little one to come?" ”

What the?

Master Zongzheng's face was red, and his eyes were evasive.

The Empress Dowager said to Master Zongzheng with a satisfied smile: "Lord Zongzheng really has an extraordinary concern for this case, and Lord Zongzheng has invited an experienced and truth-seeking good man with a respectful attitude towards the laws of Daqi, which is really rare." ”

Master Gong's hand trembled slightly, and after going through another process, he had to conclude the case: Ji An was not guilty and was released on the spot.

Ji'an couldn't understand what Master Gong was saying, but when he saw his mother crying with joy, he also burst into tears.

Dong Rong walked to Ji Anniang's side and hugged Ji An and Ji Anniang, "Ji An is finally safe." ”

Lord Gong just wants to send these people away as soon as possible, and as for Master Zongzheng, the farther away the better. I thought that I could get some benefits by having a good relationship with Master Zongzheng, but now it seems that all I get is trouble.

Lord Gong finally closed the case, thinking that the Queen Mother would leave immediately, but unexpectedly, the Queen Mother turned to look at Lord Gong with a stern gaze, "Lord Gong, who is the real culprit who killed the official errand, and I hope you will continue to investigate." They are officials of the imperial court, but they are used for personal use, which is unbearable or unbearable. If you can't find out about it, you can be held responsible. ”

Master Gong had to say yes again and again.

Out of the gate of the Criminal Department, Dong Rong looked at the Queen Mother gratefully, and the Queen Mother nodded slightly at Dong Rong, and a thousand words were silent.

After Dong Rong took Ji An back to the Zhongshan Palace, he went straight to Murong Huaide's study.

Murong Huaide was reading a book when he saw someone rushing into the study, and before he could react, he was hugged by a human bear.

"What's wrong?"

Murong Huaide didn't have to guess to know who it was.

The tears that Dong Rong had been holding back gushed out all of a sudden, she buried her face in Murong Huaide's arms, clenched her hands into fists, and hammered Murong Huaide's chest.

"Hide a secret from me, hide a secret from me!"

Murong Huaide couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Dong Rong's 'sprinkling' appearance, "You are the wife of your husband, it is right to do something for you, what is there to shout about?" If you really appreciate your husband, go and make something for your husband. It's been a long time since I've eaten a meal you made yourself. ”

"Okay, by the way, I'll take another package of medicine, and see if you dare to hide it from me in the future." Dong Rong pursed her lips and let Murong Huaide wipe away her tears.

Murong Huaide's mouth came to Dong Rong's ear, "Do you want to give your husband a flattering medicine?" ”

"You-"

Dong Rong's face turned red all of a sudden. R638
