Chapter 40
Yan Zixi nodded, looked up at the sky again, and then instructed the two officials.
"Okay, you two hurry over and carry Mrs. Li's body aside, and then put some dry wood in the cave to light it and burn it."
"Yes!"
The two officials also resisted the urge to vomit, carried the disposed corpse aside, and then threw some firewood into the hole and lit it.
After burning for a while, the dry firewood in the cave was about to burn out, and after it was extinguished, Yan Zixi asked the official to extinguish the remaining burning sparks.
Immediately, Yan Zixi took the liquor and rice vinegar that had just been prepared, and poured them one by one into the cave, only to hear the sound of "snorting", and for a while, the top of the cave was filled with smoke.
"Okay, let's put Mrs. Li's body on it!"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, the two officials immediately lifted the coffin containing Mrs. Li's bones, and placed the corpse on the cellar upright, and Yan Zixi took a new straw mat and covered it on top of the corpse.
Everyone looked at the smoky corpses, and they didn't know what Yan Zixi was going to do, and their faces were full of questions.
After waiting for about half a pillar of incense, Yan Zixi felt that the time was almost up, so she instructed the official to remove the roll of straw mat that had been changed on the bones.
The crowd leaned over to see what was going on.
Song Yuanlin and Li also looked at each other, although Cheng Sanshui was a little scared, but in order to witness it with his own eyes, he was still pushed over.
I saw that the moment the straw mat was removed, the original white bones of Mrs. Li were immediately stained with a layer of black impurities, staining the bones of his whole body black!
"This ...... What's going on? Seeing this, Cheng Sanshui stammered and asked.
Without waiting for Yan Zixi to explain, Liu Yanzuo on the side was the first to speak.
"Dr. Yan Zixi re-manifested the signs of poisoning in front of the deceased through the method of steaming bones, with spirits and rice vinegar."
"Liu Yanzuo, what do you say?" Cheng Sanshui was a little unconvinced.
"My lord, please see, Mrs. Li's bones are blackened, and she must have died of poison in her body, if she is not poisoned and died, or if she is poisoned after death, the poison will not enter the bone marrow and reappear like now...... Therefore, Liu also concluded that the real cause of Mrs. Li's death was indeed as Dr. Yan said - poisoning! ”
Listening to Liu Tong's explanation, everyone present was speechless, and Li's face was even more defeated, trembling all over.
Cheng Sanshui still couldn't believe it, he pulled Liu Yanzuo's shirt and asked sharply.
"Liu Yanzuo, this official asks you again, is what you said true? Did Mrs. Li really die of poisoning? ”
"My lord, villains don't dare to lie! Everything is true! ”
Liu Yanzuo was ashamed, and then walked in front of Yan Zixi, and said with shame: "Doctor Yan, Liu is not good at learning and art, he is derelict in his duties, and he almost wronged a good person, and please accept Liu Mou's worship!" ”
Saying that, Liu Yanzuo was about to kneel down for Yan Zixi to admit his mistake.
Yan Zixi knew that Mrs. Li's murder had nothing to do with Liu Chengzuo, and he was just blinded, so Yan Zixi didn't blame him, but admired him for being a person, and dared to tell the facts he knew in front of Cheng Sanshui and everyone, which was not easy.
It can be seen from this that Liu Chengzuo is indeed an upright person, if there is a chance in the future, Yan Zixi wants to teach him the "Collection of Grievance Records", maybe he can promote the advancement of Huaxia autopsy technology for hundreds of years!
As for the higher level, you need to use the knowledge of chemistry and physics, and Liu Yanzuo is afraid that he will not be able to learn it.
Thinking of this, Yan Zixi hurriedly helped him up, "Liu Yanzuo, I can't blame you for this, I am already very grateful that you can speak up and tell the truth." ”
After speaking, Yan Zixi walked in front of Li and questioned in his mouth.
"Li, do you have anything else to say?"
Li shivered with fright, but she still maintained the last trace of calm, she bit her lip, and was still trying to defend herself.
"Yan Zixi, even if you can prove that my mother-in-law was poisoned, what does it have to do with me? I didn't poison my mother-in-law at all! ”
"Hmph, it's already come to this point, are you still unwilling to recruit? You said that you didn't poison it, so let me ask you, why did you go to the pharmacy to buy a batch of cream before Mrs. Li was killed? ”
"I ...... I ......" Li Shi looked at Yan Zixi with fear on his face, and looked at Yan Zixi with a look of horror: "Why do you know that I bought a batch of creams?" ”
Yan Zixi snorted coldly, "Stupid! These poison pharmacies are strictly controlled, and who buys them and when they buy them must be strictly recorded, and now do you want me to bring the account book from the pharmacy owner before you are willing to confess? ”
Yan Zixi's words finally broke through the last psychological defense line of the Li family.
She quickly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.
"Spare your life! Spare your life! The slave saw the money for a while, and was confused by the silver two! It's all ...... It was all Dr. Song who took fifty taels of silver to instigate the slave to do this, although the slave hated his mother-in-law, he really didn't want to poison her...... It's all him...... He did it! ”
When Song Yuanlin heard this, he patted his head and shouted "bitter" in his mouth!
Then he also prostrate on the ground, knelt on the ground, and told everything that had happened.
From how Aunt Yan found herself, how she bought off the Li family's murder, and if the process of framing Yan Zixi was all explained in detail.
When everyone present heard this, they were shocked and stunned again.
Everyone didn't expect that the mastermind behind this case would be Yan Zixi's aunt!
"What, how could it be Aunt Yan? She...... Why would she do it? Yan Zixi was also a little confused.
Originally, she thought that Song Yuanlin was the real mastermind, but she didn't expect that Aunt Yan was the real murderer who really instigated him.
"Why, why did Aunt Yan frame me? Why? ”
After everyone learned the truth, they also talked about it, and Cheng Sanshui saw that the matter was exposed, so he had to make a verdict.
"Now that the truth is clear, this official has announced that Yan Zixi has nothing to do with this case, and she will be returned to her innocence from today!"
Hearing the verdict, Yan Zixi could have been happy, but at this moment she was not happy at all.
Because she couldn't believe that the person who almost killed her would be someone from the Yan family, and she was also her own eldest mother.
Yan Zixi lost his mind, and Cheng Sanshui continued to order the officials.
"Come on, put the prisoners Li and Song Yuanlin in prison, and the rest of the people will go to the Yan family to arrest Aunt Yan!"
"Yes!"
After watching the excitement, the neighbors congratulated Yan Zixi and went home.
With the help of several officials, Li Erde put her mother's bones into a coffin and prepared for reburial.
At this time, Xiao Jingcong walked in front of Yan Zixi and congratulated her.
"Zixi, congratulations, you finally washed away your grievances by yourself, and responded to your words, the clear ones are self-purifying!"
"Thank you......" Yan Zixi reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said to Xiao Jingcong: "Jingcong, although I have proved my innocence, I am not happy at all......
Xiao Jingcong suddenly realized: "Is it because the mastermind behind the framing of you is your relative Aunt Yan?" ”
Yan Zixi nodded, with a trace of tears in her eyes: "Jingcong, I really didn't expect that my aunt would kill me, why did she do this?" ”
"Maybe you'll have to ask her personally, if only she can answer you."
While the two were talking, Cheng Sanshui also walked over with a smile.
"Xiao Gongzi, Miss Yan, congratulations, this official has already said that Miss Yan was wronged, Miss Yan is a famous doctor through the ages, how can she be a murderer?"
"That's enough, Master Cheng, that's not what you said before!"
Yan Zixi glared at Cheng Sanshui fiercely, and then deliberately stepped on him with his heel, and then shook his hand and left.
"Ouch, my feet......"
"Master Cheng, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving!" Xiao Jingcong resisted the urge to laugh, greeted Gonggong Li, and left the county office together.
……
The Yan family.
Cheng Yicai was having tea with Yan Muxue in the hall.
Since Cheng Yicai failed to take possession of Yan Zixi last time, she turned her mind to her sister Yan Muxue, and it just so happened that Yan Muxue also had this intention, and the two hit it off and soon hooked up together.
Now I was drinking fragrant tea with you, and suddenly I heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, disturbing their Qingqing and me.
Cheng Yicai slapped the table and immediately said angrily.
"Who's making noise outside?"
Soon, more than a dozen officials broke in, and when Yan Muxue saw those officials, she hurriedly hid behind Cheng Yicai.
Those officials didn't expect Cheng Yicai to be here, and when they saw Cheng Yicai, they hurriedly bowed their hands.
"See the young master of the process!"
"Chen Zhutou, why did you take your subordinates to trespass into people's houses?"
Cheng Yicai had a hint of gloom on his face, and said to the official who was the leader.
Chen Zhutou took a step forward and replied: "Back to the young master, we have been ordered by Lord Cheng to arrest the real murderer behind Mrs. Li's murder, Aunt Yan, and please don't embarrass us!" ”
"Wait, who did you just say? Aunt Yan? ”
"Yes, Master Cheng has found out that Aunt Yan colluded with Song Yuanlin and bought the Li family's daughter-in-law Li to poison Mrs. Li, and we are now about to arrest Aunt Yan and return to the county office!"
Saying that, Chen Zhutou instructed his subordinates: "A few of you, go in and bring Aunt Yan out!" ”
"Yes!"
Yan Muxue was already pale with fright behind Cheng Yicai's back, and he pulled Cheng Yicai's clothes and wanted Cheng Yicai to help her.
"Yicai, save my mother! My mother wouldn't do that! She must have been wronged! ”
"Mu Xue, don't worry." Cheng Yicai comforted Yan Muxue, and wanted Chen Zhutou to inquire about what happened.
When Cheng Yi learned that it was Yan Zixi who used the method of steaming bones to test for poison to find out the truth, he slammed the teacup into pieces, and then got up and left.
Yan Muxue saw that Cheng Yicai was leaving, and hurriedly stopped him from behind: "Yicai, where are you going?" You have to find a way to save my mother! ”
"I'm going to find that little slut!" Cheng Yicai said fiercely.
"No need, I'm already here!"
