Volume 1: Chapter 28: The Worst (1)

Nineteen lives!

Even if they are all slaves, they are enough to be the first case since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Such a serious case naturally aroused great attention from all levels of Jingzhao Mansion.

Not only the two chief officials of Jingzhao Mansion Yin and Jingzhao Mansion Shaoqing and Deputy were here, but even the left and right judges, push officials, government courts, and Liu Cao, except for the Zheng Mansion who needed to stay behind, the rest of the officials who could come came.

The current Jingzhao Mansion Yin Nai is the concubine of the eldest princess of Pingyang, Zhao Zhongfu, who is nearly fifty years old, dignified, with a beautiful beard, and slightly picky peach blossom eyes, which makes him look more like a merry and talented man, rather than an official who is in charge of an important official position in Jingzhao Mansion.

In fact, the daily operation of Jingzhao Mansion is done by Meng Zhao, the Shaoqing of Jingzhao Mansion. Who made Zhao Zhongfu not only a concubine, but also a henchman of the current emperor? Ordinary cases are Shaoqing Meng Zhao is in charge of the trial, in many cases, Zhao Zhongfu only needs to do the final check, and then be responsible for providing advice to the emperor when the emperor asks.

But it's a homicide!

Or nineteen lives!

Even Zhao Zhongfu's identity and grade must come forward in person when encountering such a case.

As soon as Zhao Zhongfu saw Gu Shan, he bent down first and saluted Gu Shan: "The health of the Duke of Xiuguo is really a blessing for the imperial court." ”

Gu Shan is eighty years old this year, that is, the age of the common people is eighty years old, Zhao Zhongfu must also salute first, not to mention that Gu Shan is a national prince, and his grade is higher than Zhao Zhongfu.

Gu Shan hurriedly replied: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, my family is unfortunate, this kind of thing happened, it really makes the old man ashamed." Master Pony, I'm going to trouble you this time. ”

Although the grade is higher than Zhao Zhongfu, Zhao Zhongfu is a concubine, not to mention that Gu Shan has already started to retire, except for the New Year and the New Year, the palace will send people to greet him, and he has rarely appeared in front of people. As an old minister who has gradually faded out of the inner circle of power, when facing Zhao Zhongfu, an imperial confidant and relative, Gu Shan is always very polite.

Who made Gu Shan once a slave of Emperor Gaozu?

In this kind of matter, Gu Shan would rather lower his waist by three points than offend people.

The sedan chair is carried by three people.

Whether it is Gu Shan or Zhao Zhongfu, they have never been stupid, they all know very well what to say and what to do.

"Where, where, you're welcome." Zhao Zhongfu once again made a fuss at Gu Shan.

"The old man is not a kind word. Half a month ago, Kyochu suddenly moved, but there was no warning before. The saint has questioned Qin Tianjian several times, and as the parent official of the people of Jingshi, the burden on Jingzhaofu is not small. The old man did not discipline his children and grandchildren well, so that when such a thing happened, the old man was really ashamed. Gu Shan also replied to Zhao Zhongfu.

Zhao Zhongfu had a preliminary understanding of the situation when he was on the road, and now listening to Gu Shan say this, and then looking at Gu Hai's expression, Zhao Zhongfu already had a preliminary judgment in his heart.

Zhao Zhongfu said: "The old country is serious. Where is the responsibility of the lower officials, where can you say the word trouble? Xia Guan has already gone to the Tai Hospital and the Huimin Bureau to borrow the Tai Yi and the medical girl, if the old Guogong doesn't mind, how about letting the medical girl take care of the little lady in the house first? Xia Guan has something to ask those five girls. ”

To ask the imperial doctor to ask the imperial doctor to diagnose Gu Qiqiniang's pulse, to determine whether Gu Qiqiniang's physical condition is consistent with the pulse case recorded by the Tai Hospital, so that the doctor can serve Gu Qiqiniang, in fact, needs to do a more detailed examination for Gu Qiqiniang.

Eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, wooden balls and other objects under the armpits to make the pulse case deviate, which is also a common method adopted by suspects to misdiagnose the doctor.

"Where, where, please."

Of course Gu Shan didn't mind.

With Gu Shan's permission, Meng Zhao, the Shaoqing of Jingzhao Mansion, immediately took a palace and a imperial doctor, a medical woman and others to the inner room, while Zhao Zhongfu took the right judge to the wing room, where it had been cleaned up, and there were also scribes waiting behind the bookcase. Zhao Zhongfu will be there to conduct the first interrogation of five girls, including Yuye, Jinpetal, Little Lotus, Narcissus, and Lily. As for Judge Zuo, he took the rest of the government and other officials to confirm the identity of the deceased, and the imperial physician and the servant worked together to conduct the first step of investigation into the cause of death.

In the wing, Yuye Jinpetal and other five girls knelt in two rows, Gu Shan and Gu Hai's father and son were also sitting on the side, but Zhao Zhongfu did not ask questions immediately, but sat there quietly drinking tea.

He was waiting for the imperial doctor's diagnosis of Gu Qiqi Niang, and he was also observing the expressions of these girls. At the same time, Zhao Zhongfu was also observing the reaction of Gu Shan and Gu Hai's father and son.

To be honest, it is rare for a murder case in a powerful family to deliberately make a big fuss, and in most cases, it is a big thing and a small matter. This is not a phenomenon unique to the Great Wei, but from the previous dynasty, or even more ancient times, everyone has done this.

Zhao Zhongfu was also very surprised that Gu Shan and Gu Hai's father and son would directly cause trouble in Jingzhao Mansion and let Jingzhao Mansion intervene in this matter, especially at this juncture.

Zhao Zhongfu doesn't think this matter is an ordinary case.

In fact, there are quite a few conclusions in his mind, waiting for his verification.

About two quarters of an hour later, I saw Meng Zhao come in with Wang Wanshun's palace and the imperial doctor, and handed over the documents in his hand to Zhao Zhongfu.

Zhao Zhongfu opened it, first squinted his eyes, quickly swept the pulse case in his hand, and then swept the conclusions of the imperial doctor into his heart, and excluded some conclusions in his heart.

Seeing this, Gu Hai hurriedly said, "My lord, how is the situation of the Qiqi girl?" Does he have the ability to commit such a thing? ”

When Gu Shan heard this, his face was not good-looking. However, he Gu Shan still remembered that Zhao Zhongfu was the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, and he also remembered that now was not the time to teach his son a lesson, so even if his face was not very good-looking, Gu Shan still did not speak.

Zhao Zhongfu glanced at Gu Hai and said, "General Gu, the lower officials haven't asked yet." ”

"Hold, I'm sorry, please."

Zhao Zhongfu nodded at Gu Hai, and then said to Yuye and the others kneeling below: "Who is kneeling?" ”

Yuye and the others hurriedly bowed down.

After saluting, I heard Yuye say: "Back to my lord, the folk girl is the personal big girl of the Qiqi girl, called Yuye." ”

"Folk girl? You're not a slave? ”

"Yes. The folk girl is a guest girl. This is Jin Ban'er, and she is also a guest girl. ”

"Are there any other people in your girl's house who are guest girls?"

Hearing that it was a guest girl, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion who were present immediately came to their senses.

No one knows better than them what a guest girl means. Even if she is a girl in name, the guest girl is not a slave. The identity of the guest girl is also a good citizen at the worst, and some families even have military merits and military lords, such guest girls can even be said to be lower-level nobles. If there is a guest girl among the deceased, then the level of the case should be raised by at least one level. And killing a nobleman, even if it is a low-level nobleman, the seriousness and killing the good people are two concepts in heaven and earth, not to mention a slave.

Yuye said: "Back to my lord, only the two girls in the girl's house are guest girls and Jinban'er. The two of them were serving in the house of Mrs., that is, General Yunlu's wife, because there was only one girl by the side of the Qiqi girl, Little Lotus, and the wife was afraid that she had wronged the girl, so she transferred the two people's daughters. ”

Hearing Yuye mention her name, Little Lotus hurriedly kowtowed again.

No matter how bold she is, Little Lotus is just an eight-year-old child. He was frightened by the dead, so he did whatever Yuye said.

Hearing that there were no guest girls among the dead, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion breathed a sigh of relief.
