Chapter 36 The Drums Beat and Cry Out for Grievances
In the courtyard of the palace, Huangfu Chenqing took Hua Ruya all the way to dodge the guards who patrolled frequently.
She walked through the front hall from memory, and walked around the back garden to the flat house on the southeast side.
I passed through two or three halls.
The two of them finally arrived at the flat house where the corpses were placed, due to the negligence of the guards.
Because this land has been cloudy for many years, the servants who look at the corpses are all sitting in the hall in the front yard.
Coming to the backyard is only when someone comes to the house for an autopsy.
Huangfu Chenqing and Hua Ruya jumped directly over the hall and came to the back of the eight-sided row of houses that looked like a courtyard house.
Hua Ruyan relied on the experience of being here once, and quickly confirmed: "Let's go to Erqian House first."
"Hmm!"
The two cautiously walked to the second room, and Huangfu Chenqing took a silver needle to unlock the door, and suddenly there was a cold wind in the room.
Hua Ruyan said softly: "The corpses in this room have come in in the past two days, there is no smell, and it is easy for us to find."
Huangfu Chenqing glanced at the corpses covered with white cloth, pointed to the moonlit side under the wooden window and replied to Hua Ru Aya: "I'll go over there and have a look."
"Good!"
The two immediately checked them one by one.
Huangfu Chenqing still didn't see the old man after watching most of it, and really finished reading the last one.
Then Hua Ruya said: "Chenqing, come and see if it's this old man?" ”
The symptoms of death from food and medicine are the same as in the daytime, Chen Qing nodded and said, "It's him"
As she spoke, Hua Ruyan hurriedly examined the cause of death for the old man.
What she saw was the same as what Mu Jinhua saw, the corners of her mouth and eyes were blackened even to Yintang, her nose was low, and her chin was drooping.
In this way, it is indeed a death from ingestion, and there is no trace of poisoning.
Hua Ruya put on gloves, and Chen Qing lit a fire.
She opened the old man's eyes, and there was obviously some white blood in her sockets.
She opened her mouth again, and she carefully looked at the old man's mouth by the moonlight and firelight, and the root of the tongue reflected a purple, black, and red.
This is a symptom of liver and spleen weakness, and it is not a sign of poisoning.
"How?" Huangfu Chenqing put the fire closer and asked.
"There is nothing unusual", Hua Ruya checked the old man's neck and fingernails.
All the symptoms she saw were death caused by the consumption of medicinal herbs.
"Take a closer look". Huangfu Chenqing said, and his hand inadvertently brushed the edge of the old man's hair.
"Wait", Hua Ruya blocked the fire fold he was about to take away.
"What did you find?" He hurriedly put the fire fold close to the old man's hair.
"Hmm!" Hua Ruya carefully picked out a small strand of gray hair that was wet and sticky from the old man's house, and looked at it carefully. Surprised to find: "The taste of medicine is compatible"
"Medicinal herbs are equal to suicide", Huangfu Chenqing thought that if the old man deliberately committed suicide, he would not drink the back of his head when drinking medicine.
Unless it was murdered.
"That's right", Hua Ru Aya attached herself and sniffed the smell of medicine, and said, "Licorice." Citrus aurantium, Bupleurum and peony are the prescriptions prescribed by Jinhua to the elderly, and the extra flavor of this herb is coriander, which is precisely the same as licorice."
"Then tomorrow this corpse will be carried to the public court", Huangfu Chenqing said thoughtfully.
"But..."Hua Ruya saw what he was thinking: "It would be better if Jinhua's prescription was still there, I hope Jun Mo can bring some evidence back home"
After the two examined the corpse at the mansion, Chen Qing wanted to go to the cell to see Mu Jinhua.
At the moment, they were dissuaded by Hua Ru Aya, and some people may have thought that they would go to the cell tonight, but they didn't expect that they just came to the flat house.
When I returned to King Chen's mansion. Ji Junmo hasn't come back yet.
And tonight's palace is destined to be a sleepless night.
Steward Shen, Yan Wumei and the three doctors and maids accompanied Chen Qing and Hua Ru Aya to sit and wait in the closed hall.
Yan Wumei glanced at Chen Qing's awe-inspiring face, he didn't take the lead to say a word, presumably no one said anything.
I waited for about two hours.
Finally, Ji Junmo rushed back home before the fifth watch.
"How? What was found? Hua Ruya asked eagerly standing up.
Ji Junmo looked at her and shook his head, and replied to Huangfu Chenqing: "The prescription prescribed by Doctor Mu to the old man is no longer in the house, and the evidence should have been destroyed in advance."
"What then?" Yan Wumei also asked anxiously.
"Chen Qing and I found out that the old man was a medicine and food restraint, which led to his death," Hua Ru Aya said.
"Then isn't this enough to prove that Sister Mu was wronged", Yan Wumei said happily.
"The evidence is still insufficient". As soon as Hua Ru Aya said, Yan Wumei's face immediately lengthened, and she said angrily: "Who is so vicious? Sister Mu has excellent medical skills and has always saved lives for the people. How can you smash your own reputation and harm others! ”
Ji Junmo listened to Hua Ruyan talk about medicine and food, and he thought of the suspicious page he got back.
He unfolded it to see that it was a man's left footprint, and he concluded: "This is obviously a man who accidentally left it, when I found it." Lying under the table, perhaps in a hurry, he had missed his own footprints."
"Jun Mo is right", Chen Qing's mind flashed through the big man who kept claiming that his father-in-law was a man, judging from the footprints, it was very likely that he was him.
It just so happened that several people had a clue, and at this time, Shen Fuan happily entered the hall with a stack of prescriptions.
Steward Shen didn't know, so he counted him down and said, "What are you doing, it's not enough to cause trouble for us."
"Grandpa", Shen Fuan also shouted and ignored him, walked straight to Huangfu Chenqing, handed over the prescription and said: "Uncle cousin, look, these are all the prescriptions of that day, I went to the bathroom just now to find them, fortunately they left my coat in the basket and didn't take it to wash, these prescriptions are still fine!" ”
"Huh!" Steward Shen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Huangfu Chenqing smiled and took the prescription and said: "They must not have expected that we still have a prescription for stubs here, during the day, when talking about this, the big man's face was undisguisedly tense, and then when Fu An said that it had become a paper cake, his face relaxed."
"So what are you waiting for!" Shen Fuan said happily: "When the day dawns, we will go to the government to seek justice for the Mu Boudoir doctor."
"Yes, whoever dares to bully Sister Mu again, I will let them taste the taste of ten thousand poisons piercing their hearts", Yan Wumei said poisonous words, but she was quite righteous.
Several people negotiated.
The sky was slightly bright, and Shen Fuan took the three doctors and maids to the government to beat the drums and voice their grievances, they really didn't want to make any more mistakes with the doctors.
The drums sounded.
A guard came out of the palace and stopped them.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people gathered around to join in the fun.
An'er explained the situation to the guards, and waited for him to report to the palace.
The four of them waited anxiously outside for nearly half a moment, and finally waited for the early ascension.
The yamen opened, and they walked to the public hall with confidence, waiting for Lord Yu from the government to come out and ascend to the court. (To be continued.) )
