Chapter 171, post-mortem
As soon as Xu Shoujing's words came out, everyone present was stunned. Of course, that includes the female samurai. However, his surprise was nothing more than a disguise and disguise. After all, Xiao Siwen is the reign of the dynasty and the most powerful minister in the entire Liao State. You must know that the murder of the minister is an unforgivable crime! Nuri is not stupid, so he naturally knows how to protect and hide himself.
"What? Lord Xiao is dead? Ye Luxian seemed to be in disbelief, and repeatedly confirmed with Xu Shoujing.
Xu Shoujing nodded slightly.
Ye Luxian seemed to remember something, and hurried to Xiao Siwen's room. But when he actually arrived at the door of Xiao Siwen's room, Ye Luxian hesitated again. He looked at the cold corpse in the room, which had already died tragically, and suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart. This pain has his respect and reliance on Xiao Siwen. But more of it is for Yan'er's grief.
He never thought that he would let Xiao Siwen die here when he took Xiao Siwen out to hunt this time!
Ye Luxian knew very well that a large part of the reason for his successful ascension to the throne was due to Xiao Siwen's admiration and help. It can be said that without Xiao Siwen, there would be no Ye Luxian today. What's more, Xiao Siwen is still Yan'er's father. Even if it's not biological, it's the one who raised Yan'er. If this news reaches Yan'er's ears, will Yan'er be able to withstand this blow? He didn't know.
He slowly walked into Xiao Siwen's room. The qiē in the room was all intact, without the slightest trace of a fight. But Xiao Siwen's hands and feet were tied at the foot of the bed, and his slightly old face was covered with dozens of pieces of paper. Through these words, you can also see the horror and struggle of Xiao Siwen before he died. Although there was not a drop of blood at the scene, Xiao Siwen's death was also very creepy. In broad daylight, Yeluxian also felt a layer of cold sweat on his body.
"Your Majesty, do you want to ask a maid to come for an autopsy?" Xu Shoujing asked softly on the side.
Ye Luxian didn't think about it, so he nodded lightly.
Xu Shoujing hurriedly retreated and ordered the other little eunuchs to invite him over.
"This was fine yesterday, why did Lord Xiao go today? When he goes, no one will quarrel with me. Dude left me alone in this world, what should I do! The woman wept softly and wiped her tears with her sleeve.
At this time, Yeluxian's face was solemn, and he must have been very sad in his heart. So naturally he can't express any grief at all. Since he is acting, he is a good woman!
Yeluxian flicked his hand. Then he slowly walked out of Xiao Siwen's room, and the woman followed out.
Xiao Siwen stood at the door, looking at the courtyard outside, and suddenly felt that the sunlight was too dazzling, and he was about to shed tears. Since his accession to the throne. This was the first time he had faced the sudden departure of someone close to him. Ever since he was four years old, he hid in the pyre and saw his parents killed, and he has always been very afraid of death in his bones, afraid of the sudden departure of such close people. This departure caught him off guard, just like Xiao Siwen's death. Originally, Xiao Siwen was still talking and laughing with him yesterday, but it was just one night, and now he himself is still standing here, but Xiao Siwen has already gone to another place separated from him. Is this what the impermanence of life and death is talking about?
But even if this is the case, how should he explain to Yan'er? Before, Xiao Siwen repeatedly shirked the matter of following the holy driver to go out hunting on the grounds of old age and infirmity, but he insisted that Xiao Siwen must follow him to this Black Mountain Palace. If he hadn't insisted on doing so at the beginning, would Xiao Siwen not have died today? It was his own hands that pushed Xiao Siwen to the brink of death!
Ye Luxian was already infinitely guilty at this time. He didn't dare to imagine that Yan'er would find out about Xiao Siwen's death. What will it look like. In the days when he was grounded in Yan'er, his thoughts about Yan'er grew crazy in his heart, although his mind was full of Suiyu's coquettish appearance for some reason. But it wasn't until this moment that he realized that deep down in his own heart, Yan'er was still the only one who really loved.
After a while, the servant had arrived. After saluting Yeluxian at the door, he didn't dare to delay at all, and entered the room to check Xiao Siwen's body.
He gently uncovered the tissue covering Xiao Siwen's face, and then gently pinched the tissue, and found that it was just rice paper used by ordinary people to write and draw. Judging by the texture on the rice paper. This rice paper was once soaked in water. It seems that it was indeed these rice papers soaked in water that directly led Xiao Siwen to suffocate to death.
Then, he turned his head to look at Xiao Siwen's face. I saw Xiao Siwen's eyes bulging out, and his pupils had already spread. Bluish complexion. The instrument carefully opened Xiao Siwen's mouth, and found that Xiao Siwen's teeth were also bleeding, and the blood stained Xiao Siwen's teeth, which had formed the legendary "rose teeth". He gently opened Xiao Siwen's collar and found that Xiao Siwen's body was cold, and a small number of corpse spots had appeared on his waist and abdomen. Looks like. Xiao Siwen's time of death should have been in the middle of the night yesterday.
He finally fixed his eyes on Xiao Siwen's wrist, because Xiao Siwen's wrist was tightly tied by ropes, so Xiao Siwen's entire palm had all turned blue and purple due to lack of oxygen. The skin on the wrist had been worn away by the rope, revealing bloody flesh. It seems that this Xiao Siwen must have struggled desperately before he died.
Later, he checked the things in the room and found that the teapot on the table had been drugged!
With this discovery, he didn't dare to delay at all, hurriedly walked out of the room, and knelt down beside Ye Luxian with a plop: "Back to the emperor, the little one has already examined Lord Xiao's body." ”
Ye Luxian glanced at the presumption, fixed the mood in his heart at this time, and asked lightly, "How is the situation?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the emperor's guess is right, Lord Xiao died of suffocation. And the murder weapon is the rice paper covered by Lord Xiao's face. He replied with a 1510.
"Rice paper?" Ye Luxian was a little puzzled, in his impression, shouldn't rice paper be a tool used by literati and ink artists to paint? Why has it become a murder weapon to kill Xiao Siwen now?
"The emperor didn't know that this rice paper was indeed the paper that those literati and ink writers often used to dance and make ink, but once this rice paper was all soaked, only one piece was taken and covered on the person's face, it would cause people to breathe poorly. If you cover a few more, it will directly lead to people who can't breathe and eventually suffocate to death! He patiently answered his doubts for Yeluxian.
"What else have you found?" Yeluxian asked again.
"The little discovery is that Lord Xiao was drugged in the tea, so Lord Xiao fell unconscious in the middle of the night, and the murderer took this opportunity to tie Lord Xiao's hands and feet, and then apply wet rice paper, and finally led to the death of Lord Xiao!" (To be continued.) )
