Chapter 61: Post-mortem results

Liu Qingshu woke up in pain and found herself lying naked on the straw pile in her cell, with unknown liquids and bruises all over her body, and there were several jailers talking about vulgar topics and wearing pants standing next to her, and the last line of defense in Liu Qingshu's heart collapsed directly.

Liu Qingshu got up from the cold ground in despair and slammed directly into the wall.

The jailers who took her turn hurriedly stopped her: "You stinky, you are in prison, what do you care about chastity!" Stay here for Lao Tzu! ”

Liu Qingshu, who was stopped, could only spread out on the ground and cry silently, but no one would come to comfort her.

The queen, who was leisurely drinking tea in the dormitory and listening to the attendants report Liu Qingshu's news, heard the news that Liu Qingshu was being rotated by the prison guards, and was very satisfied: "You go to the prison and give those jailers a good reward." ”

The jailers originally saw the people in the palace coming to them, thinking that they were going to be beheaded, and they were so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies. But in the end, I found that I had been rewarded, and I became even more serious.

At first, he only dared to secretly drug Liu Qingshu's food at night and then rape him, but later he even dared to force it directly during the day. Liu Qingshu trembles every day, she can't survive or die, she has almost become a person who is about to go crazy, and she can no longer see her former graceful and enchanting and luxurious.

These things reached the ears of Emperor Liang Wendi, and Emperor Liang Wendi was silent for a long time, and finally only sighed.

The next day, Emperor Wen of Liang secretly sent his henchmen to take Liu Qingshu out of the prison, and replaced the rescued Liu Qingshu with the body of a condemned prisoner, and then found a remote room outside the palace to settle Liu Qingshu.

Then, Emperor Wen of Liang directly announced to the public: "Concubine Liu of the Liu family, who brutalized the queen, was in a deteriorating condition after being thrown into the prison, and was found by the jailer today and died violently in the prison." ”

When Cui Guifei heard the news of Liu Qingshu's violent death, she suddenly didn't hold the bowl in her hand, fell to the ground, and turned into pieces.

At this moment, the queen is also having dinner with Xiao Qiming. When the palace people came to the news of Liu Qingshu's violent death, the queen immediately smiled from ear to ear.

After listening to a series of changes in the palace, and seeing the smile on the corner of the queen's mouth, Xiao Qiming guessed that all this was the queen's handiwork.

Xiao Qiming stood up from the dinner table and said to the queen: "Son-in-law, thank your mother." ”

When the queen saw Xiao Qiming's movements, she also guessed that he knew everything: "No thanks, we are mother and son, and we should be of the same heart." ”

After dinner, Xiao Qiming and the queen discussed things in the dormitory. By the time Xiao Qiming returned home, it was already dark.

Xiao Qiming lifted the curtain and saw Chu Lanxi standing at the gate of the palace waiting for him from a distance. As soon as he saw Xiao Qiming's carriage, Chu Lanxi hurriedly greeted him.

"Your Highness, you're back." Chu Lanxi stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Qiming's arm.

Xiao Qiming got out of the carriage and saw the virtuous Chu Lanxi, so he stepped forward and went back to the building to live on Chu Lanxi's waist, and the two entered the house together.

Meals have already been prepared. Xiao Qiming was in a good mood today, and throughout the dinner, the two of them were laughing and laughing, singing about wine, and they were very happy.

The two of them drank a lot of wine, and both were a little dizzy at the end of dinner. So the two were helped into the room early by the maid and went to bed to rest.

Sleeping in the middle of the night, Xiao Qiming suddenly woke up from his sleep. He looked at Chu Lanxi, who was sleeping next to him, his face was full of drunken flushes and naΓ―ve, his heart moved, and he directly hugged Chu Lanxi into his arms.

Chu Lanxi, who was asleep, was directly awakened by this hug.

Chu Lanxi and Xiao Qiming looked at each other, and then hugged and kissed together. In the dead of night, the two of them were dressed in discoloration. The candle flame burned out, and the two stayed awake all night.

On the day of the disturbance in Qin Xiang Pavilion, the shopkeeper did not see Xiao Qiming, nor did he rely on Xiao Qiming to solve the incident. The shopkeeper wanted to settle the matter, and he thought he was unlucky to lose some money. Unexpectedly, after those men took the money, they suddenly sued Qin Xiangguan directly a few days later.

Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin sent someone to bring Qin Xianglou's shopkeeper to the mansion. As soon as the shopkeeper saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately ran to the palace to report to Xiao Qiming.

"What? How did I not know about this? Xiao Qiming listened to the words of the shopkeeper, and then he knew what happened that day, "Xiao Yan, go and investigate this matter immediately!" ”

Xiao Yan immediately went out of the house to investigate the details of the men who made trouble.

In the palace of Yingtianfu, the shopkeeper of Qin Xianglou knelt on the side, and on the other side were the men who were making trouble, and there was a stretcher on the side, and a woman was lying on the body on the stretcher and crying loudly.

"My lord, a few of us had dinner in Qin Xianglou that day, but after a while, my brother fainted and fell to the ground, and he didn't wake up. The shopkeeper of Qin Xianglou didn't admit it at first, and called a few people to beat us, but he couldn't beat us, so he gave us a few taels of silver and sent us away. We thought of taking these taels of silver to my brother's medical treatment, but we didn't expect it," the man choked up as he spoke, "but I didn't expect that I would take my fainting brother to see a doctor, but the doctor could not diagnose the disease. We had to take my brother home. The next day, my brother was back to normal, able to run and jump, we didn't have anything to do, but I didn't expect that a few days later, my brother died directly at home! Pity my brother and sister, who have been widowed ever since, and the newborn child in the family, this orphan and widow, how can they live! ”

The woman lying on the corpse cried out at the right time: "Father, child, you are gone, how can I and the child live!" The tone was pathetic, and everyone present was moved.

"My lord, there must be something wrong with Qin Xianglou's food! How else would my brother have died? ”

"You talk nonsense! Our Qin Xianglou has always been good, but you framed us! Qin Xianglou's shopkeeper argued loudly.

Neither party spared anyone, and quarreled directly in the court.

"Silence!" Governor Liu Yanhai patted the shocked wood and motioned for the two sides to calm down.

"it, carry the body down and do the autopsy." After speaking, he looked at the two parties who were still arguing just now, "Both the plaintiff and the defendant will go back and wait for the results of the autopsy." Retire! Retrial another day! ”

The shopkeeper of Qin Xiang Pavilion returned to Qin Xiang Pavilion, and as soon as he entered the door, he looked up and saw a figure shaking in the Tianzi room.

"Third Highness?" The shopkeeper of Qin Xiang Pavilion hurriedly rushed upstairs, pushed the door and saw that the person staying in the Tianzi room was indeed Chu Lanxi.

"Your Highness has something that you can't come, let me come to see you." Chu Lanxi saw the surprised eyes of the shopkeeper of Qin Xianglou and explained. It turned out that Xiao Qiming's time for closure was not yet complete, so he asked Chu Lanxi to spread the news between him and Qin Xianglou.

Although it is not Xiao Qiming, Chu Lanxi in front of him is also a side concubine. The shopkeeper of Qin Xianglou hurriedly saluted Chu Lanxi, and Chu Lanxi just nodded quietly.

The shopkeeper of Qin Xianglou told Chu Lanxi everything that happened in the mansion today.

"Could it be, is it really that the quality of Qin Xianglou's food is not up to par?" Chu Lanxi took a sip of tea and asked.

"Impossible, Princess, this little one can be guaranteed. Besides, even if there is a problem with the quality of the food, it is just diarrhea, how can it suddenly die? Qin Xianglou's shopkeeper hurriedly swore an oath.

"Then the shopkeeper will lead the way." Chu Lanxi stood up.

Chu Lanxi proposed to go out to see Qin Xianglou's dining room to check, and the shopkeeper of Qin Xianglou knew that she was still doubting herself, so he personally guided her.

The people in the dining room have already been dismissed, Chu Lanxi carefully checked, everything in the dining room is available, fish, vegetables, meat and eggs are all fresh.

After Chu Lanxi finished reading it, he went back to the palace directly and reported the situation of Qin Xianglou to Xiao Qiming, who couldn't go out.

"Since it's not Qin Xianglou's problem, then who is doing the ghost?" Xiao Qiming touched his chin and pondered for a while, and decided that he must not be able to get along with him, the Third Highness.

"Xiao Yan, go and ventilate Governor Liu." Xiao Qiming was ready to put pressure on Liu Yanhai, who was in charge of the case, to close the case quickly.

Seeing Xiao Qiming's henchmen and guards, Liu Yanhai knew that the real owner of the Qin Xiang Pavilion was Xiao Qiming. After weighing it in his heart, Liu Yanhai made a decision.

Three days later, the government held another trial. Qin Xianglou is a famous restaurant, and when I heard about the life lawsuit, everyone came to see what was going on. Before the trial began, hundreds of people were already standing at the door of the government to watch the trial.

"Ascension!" Liu Yanhai took a picture of the shocking wood, and the guards around him immediately shouted "mightily".

The results of the autopsy had already come out, so Liu Yanhai directly summoned the coroner to the court.

The coroner gave Liu Yanhai a salute first, and then began to report the results of the autopsy.

"My lord, there are two kinds of poison in this dead man's body. The first is food poisoning caused by food mixtures; This second type is a kind of Western Regions poison. The food poisoning in the deceased's body was caused by not paying attention while dining at the Qin Xiang Restaurant. ”

"What? Did this Qin Xiangguan really poison the food? ”

"Yes, who will dare to go to Qin Xianglou to eat in the future? Isn't this looking for death? ”

The people present didn't know much about food poisoning except for pretending to be anyone, and thought that Qin Xiangguan had poisoned the food. The men who reported to the official also thought that it was Qin Xianglou's shopkeeper who ordered someone to poison the food they ordered, and they immediately made a fuss.

"Look, the face is said to be poisoned by you, I see how you can shirk it now!"

Qin Xianglou's shopkeeper couldn't argue, so he could only look at Liu Yanhai: "Didn't the Third Highness say that everything was done?" How did this happen again? ”

Seeing that they had misunderstood what they meant, the coroner hurriedly explained to them: "Food poisoning is not necessarily poisoned by someone, and food can also be poisonous." ”

Only then did everyone realize that eating different foods indiscriminately would restrain each other.

"Since it's food, you ordered these dishes yourself, right?" Liu Yanhai asked.

"Yes. But the adults ...... "Those men still wanted to say something, but Liu Yanhai slapped the shocking wood: "The food restrained the deceased and caused the deceased to be poisonous, but these dishes were ordered by the deceased and yourself, and they have nothing to do with Qin Xianglou." Now the governor has announced: Qin Xianglou is not guilty, and the shopkeeper of Qin Xianglou is also released. ”

"My lord, but my brother died later. Maybe I really fainted because of food poisoning before, and the poison later must have been that the shopkeeper of Qin Xianglou coveted my brother's money and poisoned my brother to death. Please be aware of it! The man still hasn't dropped his appeal.

"Bunch of nonsense! Retire! Liu Yanhai thought that they were here to make trouble, and did not listen to their words.

Although the inference of those men is not valid, but the man was indeed poisoned to death, as for the origin of this poison, in addition to knowing that it was transmitted from the Western Regions, its true source still needs to be investigated.
