"It's auspicious! Open the coffin! ”

The Ministry of Rites official announced in a long note.

The coffin of the concubine was opened for an autopsy, which had never happened in all dynasties.

Legend has it that after Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, he once opened the coffin to examine the body of his mother Empress Zhen, because his mother was unkempt and stuffed with chaff in her mouth after being killed by Empress Guo. Song Renzong also opened the coffin after learning the truth about the tanuki changing the prince, and buried his biological mother. These are just opening the coffin, and examining the body of a concubine after being dead for many years is really unique. Both the emperor and the plaintiff agreed, and the Ministry of Rites had no choice but to have the so-called auspicious time supervised by Qintian, and the Ministry of Rites presided over a ceremony to open the coffin.

Concubine Xiao Hui's coffin has been lifted out of the mausoleum, Concubine Xiao Hui died early, and the first emperor was not buried, of course, this may also be the Empress Dowager Xu's obstruction.

The coffin is supported by a large apricot umbrella, and according to folk customs, the accumulated bones cannot directly see the sun.

With the voice of the ceremonial officer, several brocade guards had already pried open the huge coffin, and in the sound of the wood creaking, Xiao Zihui cried bitterly: "Sister, my sister, you died so unjustly." ”

I don't know how much is true and how much is false, when Concubine Xiao Hui died, he was just a child, and he should not have much true feelings for his sister, but the Xiao family gradually came to an end after the death of Concubine Xiao Hui.

After all, she was a former favorite concubine, and there were a lot of antiseptic spices in the coffin, and the smell was not very big after opening, but the coffin was too big. It takes a person to go inside and clean the bones. Leng Nan patted Liansheng and said, "I'll go in." As he spoke, he lifted his robe and tied it on his belt, and said to the two brocade guards, "Trouble the two, send me in." ”

Jin Yiwei also admired such a person who was not afraid of ghosts and gods, and the two of them picked up Leng Nan together, and before Liansheng could react, they had already put him in the coffin. The faces of the people next to him who watched this scene were numb, and their hearts were full of awe for this nine-grade little official.

Lian Sheng said in his heart, if you know that he has to hold the skull when he eats, sits and sleeps, then you must not faint in fright.

"Wonderful, wonderful." Leng Nan's voice came from the coffin. Liansheng was speechless. This is another old mistake, Lian Sheng was afraid that he would do something shocking to Concubine Xiao Hui's bones, so he hurriedly shouted: "Did you find any clues?" Hurry out and get out. ”

"Come, come. Brother Jinyiwei. Pull me along. ”

Leng Nan was pulled out of the coffin by Jinyiwei. Placed firmly on the ground, everyone saw that he was holding a skull in his arms, and he smiled.

The so-called red face and dry bones. The contrast is really strong.

Thinking that Concubine Xiao Hui could be favored back then, giving birth to a son and three daughters, she must be a great beauty who captivates the country and the city, thirty-seven years later, there is only a pair of white bones left, and the black hole of the skull's eye socket is coldly facing everyone, this change makes the hearts of everyone present feel tight, and Xiao Zihui is even more sitting on the ground and crying.

"Look, there used to be bleeding spots here."

Leng Nan held up Concubine Xiao Hui's skull and pointed to the root of the tooth: "There is an obvious dark red here, which means that there were a lot of bleeding spots back then, look here!" ”

He excitedly handed the skull to Lian Sheng's eyes: "The fontanelle part, this bone also has dark red here, which is also a bleeding point back then!" And it's a very serious bleeding, this should be the cause of Concubine Hui's death, the acupuncture in that girl killed her! ”

This was a very light statement, but it completely shocked everyone present.

Xiao Zihui couldn't care about crying, so he got up, wiped the tears on his face and asked, "What did you say?" Among the girls? But the show lady? ”

"You also know the show lady?" Liansheng was stunned, she calculated, when Concubine Xiao Hui died, Xiao Zihui was just a seven-year-old child, and he actually knew about Xiu Niangzi!

"Wait a minute, tell me how my sister died?"

"I only removed the skull, and according to this skull, it can be judged that someone has pricked a few needles in succession on the water point above her navel, and it is absolutely forbidden to prick needles at that acupuncture point, and once it is pricked, there will be blood halo scars on the skull."

Hearing this, Liansheng blinked and asked, "What is this for?" Xiao Zihui was also stunned when he heard the real cause of his sister's death, and then added: "Yes, what is this for?" ”

"Because after a person's abdomen is injured, people will naturally hold their breath violently, the blood and blood surge, and the blood and qi of the whole body are growing upward, trying to find a place where the thin squirts out, and the fontanelle of the person is one of the weakest parts of the body, and it will be completely closed in infancy, and at the same time, some can not be completely closed for various reasons. When blood and gas rush here, the fontanelle will protrude, and in severe cases, a blood halo will form there. ”

The people next to him seemed to understand whether they understood or not, but Liansheng basically understood, from the point of view of modern medicine, it should be because of the needle pricking at Xiao Huifei's fatal acupoint, which led to the symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage, and then formed a bleeding point in the skull.

Lian Sheng roughly told Leng Nan about his thoughts. Leng Nan exclaimed: "That's right! That's right, cerebral hemorrhage! These three words are really insightful, and they are extremely true! That's the symptom. At the same time, this kind of cerebral hemorrhage, that is, the upwelling of qi and blood, will also be reflected at the root of the tooth, look at the root of Xiao Huifei's teeth, almost all of them are red, back then I thought it was full of bleeding spots, and when she died, her eyes must have been blood-red. ”

plopped, and saw the old eunuch Xiaoluzi kneeling on the ground and crying, crying and choking and saying: "My lord is right, our mother's eyes were red when she left, and my little deer still remembers it clearly, Niangniang, Niangniang, you have been crying out for so many years, and you can finally show the snow." When he cried, Xiao Zihui also beat his chest, crying and shouting that he was wronged.

Liansheng said, "Let them cry, we have to pick up all the bones, and since the bones are disturbed, we must completely change the coffin and bury them separately." ”

Leng Nan stretched his waist: "Alas, I won't mix this matter, I still have to think about how to restore Concubine Hui's flower and moon appearance." ”

As he spoke, he ran away with the skull as if he had found a treasure.

Liansheng had no choice but to order the Jinyi guard to carry out all the bones.

The two brocade guards jumped into the coffin, and soon dragged the jade mat under the corpse to completely lift out the bones and put them under the umbrella.

Concubine Hui's bones are all snow-white, without any signs of poisoning, no wonder the Xu family is not afraid of opening the coffin for autopsy.

Liansheng carefully examined all the remaining bones, and already understood in his heart that the only one who benefited from Concubine Xiao Hui's death was the Xu family, and Empress Dowager Xu and her family were the murderers behind the murder of Concubine Xiao Hui, but the show lady was afraid that she would not be able to find it, and there was no direct witness testimony, so I was afraid that in the end, she could only use the trick proposed by Yu Shizhao to deceive the truth with Concubine Hui's face.

Yu Shizhao rushed to the autopsy site, heard crying from a distance, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Bad luck, it's really bad luck, people have been dead for so many years, what kind of crying." With that kung fu and energy, it's better to keep it and clean up the Xu family. ”

The eunuch behind him nodded: "Your Highness is right." ”

Yu Shizhao walked in front of Liansheng, she was busy arranging for the Dali Temple to fill in the corpse grid.

Yu Shizhao leaned close to Liansheng's face and whispered: "Xiu Niangzi's grave has been found, I'm afraid I will open the coffin again again to see how this person died." (To be continued......)

PS: Concubine Xiao Hui's death may also be a cerebrovascular rupture, but judging from her age back then, she should not have such serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems in her twenties. At the same time, the female doctor who gave her acupuncture soon died inexplicably, so everyone thought about the place where she was murdered.

Speaking of opening a coffin, I experienced it once. More than 20 years after my stepmother's grandmother died, she had to move to her ancestral home by putting a tent at the head of the grave to cover her with sunlight. It's just that it is an alpine area, and after being buried for more than 20 years and nearly 30 years, the old lady's body has not been damaged at all...... In the end, it was very troublesome.

Another thing is that when he was a child, someone moved from his hometown to be buried, and the bones were basically broken, so he picked up the bones and put them in a box, and on the outside of the box was a decent big bag, so he carried it home and got on the train. As a result, the thief was stolen (in the 80s, there was no security check in many places), and I can't imagine what it would be like for the thief to open the box to a skull.
