Chapter 357: Consent to an autopsy
How could Wang Li have thought that Gu Zhixing could see through his disguise so easily.
However, he didn't dare to show any emotion, and quickly retorted: "How is it possible, what does the prince mean by this!" Xia Guan just respects the deceased, and doesn't want those outsiders to touch Sheng'er's corpse and disturb Sheng'er's soul, why is Xia Guan wrong, why is he guilty of such a serious crime? ”
Gu Zhixing had already guessed that Wang Li would not agree easily.
However, from Wang Li's series of reactions just now, he has already seen some clues.
The next thing he needed was to continue the temptation, so he quickly answered: "If Lord Wang really doesn't want others to touch it, then how about leaving the autopsy to this king?" ”
Gu Zhixing didn't believe it, he was a forensic doctor, and he gave him an old body, and he couldn't find any clues.
Although he didn't know how Huachen Continent's work worked, Gu Zhixing felt that in this era, I am afraid that there would not be any too clever killing methods, and he should be able to see something.
Who knew that Wang Li changed drastically when he heard this, he looked at Gu Zhixing as if he had heard some joke, and was silent for two seconds before laughing: "The prince is right, the murder suspect is your princess, how can the lower officials rest assured that you will examine the body?" Aren't you embarrassed? ”
These words are obviously afraid that Gu Zhixing will not find out anything, and in order to exonerate Su Mian, he will write evidence.
Gu Zhixing became quite gloomy for a while, and his tone became colder and colder: "You don't let you do it, this king does it himself, you are also wary, it seems that Lord Wang really doesn't sincerely want to cooperate with us to solve this case, since this is the case, then the king has to find the emperor to make a holy decree, it seems that just the emperor verbally promised me to come to the autopsy, it still doesn't have any effect." ”
As soon as Wang Li heard that he had moved out of the emperor, his expression became a little cramped.
He was still more or less afraid of Gu Zhao, mainly because he was afraid that the black gauze hat on his head would not be able to keep it.
Wang Li reached out and touched his beard with a headache, his expression suddenly turned a 180-degree turn, and he smiled at the corners of his mouth: "It turned out to be the emperor's intention, why didn't the prince say it earlier, it was originally a private matter at home, why did he still make trouble in front of the emperor, don't delay the emperor's government affairs." ”
Gu Zhixing glanced at him with a smile, and his tone was cold: "The emperor's biggest thought now is probably to spend on the Wuwu Academy, Lord Wang is now going to the Wuwu Academy to make a fuss, do you still think the emperor will not know about this matter?" ”
He seemed to be mocking Wang Li's whimsy, his expression was a little hideous, and his tone was contemptuous: "Since it has already made trouble, presumably Lord Wang's goal of making a fuss about this matter has been achieved, but the matter still has to be solved after all, so the emperor said that the coffin was opened for an autopsy, whether it was Su Mian's hand or not, all the natural truth was revealed." ”
Wang Li should have insisted on not allowing the autopsy.
But if this is what the emperor meant. He had to rethink it.
But even if it's an autopsy...... Presumably, he couldn't find anything, didn't the man promise him that everything would be foolproof?
So after Wang Li weighed the pros and cons, he finally relented and agreed: "Since it is the emperor's intention, then the prince can check if he wants, and the lower officials also hope that the truth will be restored as soon as possible, and comfort me, the soul of my hard-working nephew in the sky." ”
Gu Zhixing glanced at Wang Li deeply, and finally felt relieved in his heart, and waved his hand to let the servants behind him go in and get busy.
The autopsy was a boring and long process, and Gu Zhixing and Wang Li had been drinking tea outside and waiting.
However, the posture of the two people seems to be a little too different, Gu Zhixing's face is idle and relaxed, he is in a good mood when he drinks tea, and the smile on the corner of his mouth is always there, and Wang Li is not so comfortable.
He frowned tightly, cold sweat appeared on his forehead from time to time, his eyes were always dodging, and he blinked uneasily much more often than usual.
The longer the wait, the more Wang Li felt uneasy, and finally the whole person became anxious.
It was at this time that Gu Zhixing spoke: "Lord Wang has heard about it, Lord Prime Minister made a special statement to the emperor yesterday for the sake of your affairs, saying that he wanted the emperor to increase his efforts and find out as soon as possible." ”
"On weekdays, everyone says that adults and prime ministers are not in harmony, and now that adults are in trouble, the first one to help, but it is the prime minister, it seems that this person-to-person interaction really can't just look at the surface."
He spoke slowly and solemnly, deliberately lowering his voice to sound meaningful.
Wang Li's already tense heart couldn't calm down instantly after hearing this, his heartbeat continued to speed up, his brows were tightly locked, and he quickly defended: "The prince misunderstood, the lower official and the prime minister are indeed as rumored by outsiders, and they are not harmonious." ”
"Oh? Is it? Gu Zhixing didn't know whether he believed it or not, his eyes were slightly downcast, the tails of his eyes were slightly raised, and his eyebrows were sharp and outstanding.
Wang Li took a deep breath and tried to maintain the calmness of his expression, even though his heart was about to jump out of his throat, he smiled reluctantly: "Yes, although they are both courtiers of the emperor, they should be in the same breath in order to serve the court well, but the lower officials have been at odds with the prime minister for many years, and they have no impact on government affairs, so everyone has been talking about it less recently, but the relationship is still the same as before." ”
"So this time, the prime minister must have thought of a more long-term place, not to worry about the lower officials."
The way he tried his best to explain, in Gu Zhixing's eyes, was no different from deliberately covering up.
Wang Li may not understand, there are some things, the more you are anxious to cover up, the more you seem to want to cover up, and his goal of making Wang Li nervous has been achieved.
At this moment, he didn't continue to ask, but said softly: "I see, but I think the prime minister also wants to make peace with the lord, so I specially reminded the emperor, although it was unpleasant to be reprimanded by the emperor, Lord Wang still has to remember to admit it." ”
"The prime minister was reprimanded?" Wang Li's expression, which was about to calm down, instantly became quite strange after hearing this, although he tried his best to hide it, he couldn't hide the fleeting horror in his eyes.
Gu Zhixing smiled kindly, and said softly: "Maybe it's because the way of speaking is wrong, which made the emperor a little unhappy, but it's all to help you find out the real culprit as soon as possible, and now that I think about it, I can understand why the prime minister is so uncontrollable." ”
Wang Li didn't dare to believe Gu Zhixing's words.
He felt that the meaning of temptation in the other party's words was very obvious.
But there are some words, you know that they are temptations, but you still can't stop doubting in your heart, this is human nature, and no one can blame Wang Li.
He began to wonder what Liu Ce said to the emperor to make the emperor unhappy.
Is it really because of his family's affairs?
Carrying the coffin to the Wuwu Academy to make trouble, the person who didn't give Su Mian a chance to explain was Liu Ce, would he turn around and join him again in front of the emperor?
Wang Li suddenly began to realize that he might be really too impulsive, why did he listen to Liu Ce's words in the first place and think that this was a seamless plan?
He began to regret it, his face was like a vegetable, and as he sat here waiting for the results of the autopsy, he felt as if he was being roasted on fire, and he felt uncomfortable.
Gu Zhixing suddenly stood up at this time, stretched out his hand and patted Wang Li's shoulder, and said meaningfully: "My lord, this case can be known by the emperor so quickly, and he quickly reminded this king to arrange for him to come over, I'm afraid it won't go so smoothly." ”
"My lord is looking for a chance, or thank the prime minister, if the two of them can sit down and shake hands, it will naturally be a scene that we are all happy to see."
"When the adults said that just now, I knew that you were suitable for sensibility, and you were all unemployed and served by the emperor, so what was there and discord, and in the end, didn't you all have to work for the common prosperity of the Western Sage?"
He said a lot of truth, but Wang Li was flustered and couldn't listen to a word.
The psychological defense line has collapsed, and he already regrets it and can't wait to tell Gu Zhixing the truth on the spot.
But he didn't dare, everything he had was in Liu Ce's hands, as well as Qi Ziyu.
But as long as he didn't hold on to it and showed any flaws, he would definitely not survive, so Wang Li didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only smirk twice, and said in a stiff tone: "The prince is right, the lower officials must go down to check it out." ”
Gu Zhixing nodded with satisfaction, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became deeper and deeper.
The progress on their side was quite smooth, but in the yamen, Su Mian ushered in an uninvited guest.
She didn't expect to see Sheng Suqin dressed up in such a place.
Sheng Suqin obviously came to look for her, and was taken directly to her cell by the jailer.
The two were facing away from Su Mian, and Sheng Suqin gave the jailer a bag of broken silver.
The jailer weighed it, seemed to be happy, his expression became more and more flattering, and he took the initiative to open Su Mian's cell door.
greeted Sheng Suqin and said again: "Miss Sheng, you only have time for a stick of incense, what do you want to say as soon as possible, if someone finds out, we won't have any good fruit to eat." ”
Sheng Suqin nodded indifferently, her eyes had already passed over the jailer, staring at Sheng Suqin in the cell, her expression was cold to the extreme, and the schadenfreude in her eyes was almost unstoppable.
The jailer left Hu, Sheng Suqin lifted the hem of her skirt, slowly approached Su Mian, and held her foot at a distance of a slap from her, her eyes staring at Su Mian tightly.
Su Mian was uncomfortable at this distance, her scalp was numb and she ducked back, choked her neck and frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
This is not a good place, Sheng Suqin is a good-looking cleanliness addict, no big deal, but he won't come in easily.
Sheng Suqin hooked her lips and smiled coldly, her eyes were full of ridicule and contempt, almost a kind of condescending gesture mocking: "I'm here to see your jokes, Princess Regent." ”
Word by word, as if squeezed out of between the teeth.
