Chapter 811: The Truth About the Marks on the Feet Revealed
"Yuan, you said that you were scared to death, but I don't think this is necessarily the case." Wang Laohu said.
"What basis do you have?"
"According to the fact that it is on the body of your father-in-law, I asked the county magistrate to carry the body to the court, and this case will be solved." Wang Laohu said.
"Well, I'd like to see what you do." The county ordered, "Come, carry the body of the deceased to the yamen." ”
When the official went to carry the corpse, Wang Laohu said to the county order: "My lord, I was investigating this matter yesterday, and I have almost clarified this matter. The deceased's name is Li Huan, a local, he went out after noon, saying that he was going to the stage to watch a play, this point, Yuan, I am right. ”
Yuan nodded.
"Arrived at the stage, just now, the play began, Li Huan sat down, watched the play, the play on the stage is called "Halfway Couple", just played a man and a woman two young people met halfway, the two sympathized with each other, at this time less than half a pillar of incense from the beginning of the play, Li Huan felt uncomfortable, his head was a little dizzy, and his eyes were a little involuntary. Lang Zhong, am I right? ”
"I don't know about the part of watching the play, but there was a person who helped him here. I don't know what this man's name is. Lang Zhong said.
"The person who helped Li Huan is called Ah Liu, and he lives in the alley of Anqing Chi's house, and the adults asked him to call him and ask him."
"Okay, pass on Ah Liu."
"Villain Ah Liu, I've seen the master."
"The official asked you, the day before yesterday, but you helped Li Huan to see Langzhong."
Ah Liudao: "It's me." ”
"There was something unusual about Li Huanke at that time." The prefectural magistrate asked.
"He said that his chest was a little tight, his head was a little dizzy, his eyes were not obedient, and I saw that his eyes were wider than usual, which was a little scary." Ah Liudao.
The county commander said: "It seems that you have gone through some investigation, but these do not explain other problems, and his various signs, the official still thinks that he is overly frightened." ”
Wang Laohu smiled and said, "I still have to ask Lang Zhong." With that, he turned to Lang Zhong and asked, "Li Huan came to you, in addition to the above characteristics, do you have any other stunned looks?" ”
Lang Zhong said to the county order: "Master, I heard Ah Liu say that he was frightened when he was watching the play, and I was really frightened when I saw it, so I didn't pay much attention to it." ”
The county order listened, and there was also displeasure.
Wang Laohu said: "My lord, let me ask him two more questions." ”
"Did you see Li Huan with dilated pupils?"
Lang Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there are some. ”
"Okay, is he delirious and slurred?"
"Yes, indeed. But these are all frightened and stunned. Lang Zhong said.
"You're right, these are all frightened expressions, according to what Ah Liu said and what you observed, so Lang Zhong also thought it was caused by fright. My lord, there happens to be a miracle doctor next to me, and he has his own opinions on this matter, can you let him go to the court too. ”
Wang Laohu wants to move out of Wang Chen.
"What else do you have?" Prefectural Order.
"I just want to get back to the truth." Wang Laohu said, "Please allow me to call a miracle doctor." ”
"Okay, I have a miracle doctor."
Wang Chen was so infected that he saluted the county order first, but he did not kneel. The county commander also felt strange, how these people were the same as Wang Laohu, they didn't kneel down when they saw him, but now he didn't get angry.
"I'm a king, I've seen adults."
"This person recommended you to say that you are a miracle doctor, and we are trying the case of Li Huan's frightened death, you should have heard what you said just now, I want to know if those stunned expressions just now were caused by fright?" The prefectural order is humane.
"I was outside the hall, and I could hear it clearly, and the stunned expressions listed above were indeed frightened expressions." Wang Chenran said.
"Haha." The county commander said, "The divine doctor also said that he was frightened, what else can he say now?" ”
"But adults, in addition to being frightened, there are other diseases that can also be like this, such as some people who are nervous, as well as people with brain trauma and eye trauma." Wang Chenran said.
"Are you trying to say that Li Huan wasn't scared to death?" The prefectural magistrate asked.
"I didn't say that, I have to wait until I see the corpse before I can make a judgment." Wang Chenran said.
The county magistrate paused for a moment and said: "Now it's better to go back to the original point, I didn't find anything, I just guessed randomly, what's the point?" ”
"Have you ever thought about it, Li Huan was not the only one who watched the play on the stage that day, there were also children, women, their courage is not less than Li Huan, but they are all fine, why did Li Huan have an accident? If he was scared to death, then there was only one possibility, Li Huan had to have heart disease. Wang Laohu said.
"Heart disease?" The prefectural magistrate said, "Is this possible?" ”
"There is indeed this possibility, although I have not seen it, but it is recorded in medical books, heart disease, sympathetic meridian excitement, and pupils are easy to dilate." Wang Chenran said.
"But Yuan said that the deceased was not sick on weekdays." Prefectural Order.
Yuan said: "When you are fair, there is no disease and no pain, how can there be heart disease." ”
Wang Laohu looked at Yuan Shi and said: "Some diseases are congenital, some are acquired, you don't know, it's normal." Like us normal people, in fact, many people have premature heart beats, but everyone doesn't know and thinks that their bodies are very good. ”
"What is a premature beat?" The prefectural magistrate asked.
"Premature beats are referred to as premature beats. It refers to the heart beat caused by the premature impulse emitted by the ectopic pacemaker, which can be seen in normal people and can also be seen in patients with heart disease. Wang Laohu said.
"What you say about premature beats doesn't mean anything." Prefectural Order.
"Straight to the point. Death from fright, I don't think it is true. Wang Laohu said.
"Not true? You'll have to show evidence. The county ordered.
"Proof, of course I have proof." Wang Laohu said, "Let me talk about a few facts first, first, there is nothing terrible about the play itself, the class master is here, and the young actors are also there, we can restore the scene when Li Huan watched the play at that time, so that everyone can see that the play itself can be scary." ”
After getting the permission of the county order, Ouyang Yan and the little actors restored a part of the play in the lobby, which was the part where Li Huan felt uncomfortable when watching the play, and this Ah Liu can testify.
"My lord, after reading this paragraph, do you feel it, but are you scared?" Wang Laohu asked.
There really is nothing to be frightened about this scene, and the prefectural magistrate admits it.
"This is a good play, I like to watch Huangmei Opera, and I also like to listen to Huangmei Opera, Miss Ouyang sings well, I listened to it again just now, her play won't be long after, you won't be able to hear it, today is her encore." Ouyang Yan didn't understand Wang Laohu's words, she didn't know that Wang Laohu was about to take her out of Anqing.
"Second, there are so many fans on the stage, why is he alone frightened, this is just an example, just him, it shows that it is not the commonality of the play, it has nothing to do with the play, it has nothing to do with Miss Ouyang, and when we see Li Huan's corpse later, the truth will be revealed." Wang Laohu said.
At this time, the official came to report: "My lord, Li Huan's body has been brought." ”
"My lord, why don't you come with me to see this corpse?" Wang Laohu said.
"Okay, I'd like to see what tricks you play." The county commander brought the work, and Wang Laohu took Wang Chenran to the morgue together.
Returning from the morgue, the county magistrate was already impressed by Wang Laohu.
Back in the lobby, the county commander said, "It's the official's mistake." Li Huan's death was not a death of fright, and the theater owner was not guilty. ”
"Not guilty?" Everyone could understand that Ouyang Yan was overjoyed, and the people in the theater troupe outside the hall were also very happy when they heard this, but Yuan Shi didn't understand and asked, "My lord, how did my father-in-law die?" ”
"Yuan, I'll tell you." Saying that, Wang Laohu first helped Ouyang Yan and the little actor up, and said to Yuan, "Actually, your father-in-law died of poisoning. ”
"Poisoned? What poison did he get? Yuan asked.
"I just went to see the corpse of your father-in-law with the county official, your father-in-law's left and right legs are not the same size, and the right leg is obviously swollen, a person who is frightened to death cannot do this, we took off your father-in-law's boots and found that there are two tooth marks on your father-in-law's feet, and these two tooth marks are the fatal part of your father-in-law."
"That's true, judging from the tooth marks, it's indeed a snake tooth mark." "And the tooth mark has turned black." ”
"Why didn't he say it earlier?" Yuan said.
"He probably can't say it." Wang Chen said, "The deceased was hit by the snake venom, and he had a seizure when he was watching the play, and his speech was slurred, which is the manifestation of the snake venom attack, and the slurred speech is very likely that the snake venom has attacked the brain, making him confused, you focus on him watching the play and being frightened, and don't think about other aspects, if someone thinks about it seriously at that time, maybe it can save his life." ”
Lang Zhong then said: "I remember, when the deceased came, in addition to the above symptoms, his limbs were a little stiff, and I saw that he walked and raised his hands straight. I thought he was frightened. ”
"If you move around more, the poison will flow faster, so it didn't take long for him to die from the stage to home." Wang Chenran said.
"The truth of this fact is this, Li Huan did not die of fright, but died of snake venom." Wang Laohu said, "I think the poisonous snake should be in the area where Li Lian's house is on the stage, and the adults can ask the snake catcher to go and catch the snake, so that it will not poison others again." ”
The truth is revealed, and this should be the end of the matter.
"Okay, the mystery is solved, and the class master is not guilty, but you are guilty." The county magistrate said to Wang Laohu.
"You are above the lobby, although you have helped me solve the case and solve the mystery, but you cannot be exempted from the crime. The majestic place of the hall, whether you are or this miracle doctor, when you arrive at the hall, you ignore the official and are unreasonable, which is a great disrespect to the court. ”
Wang Laohu helped Ouyang Yan and ignored him, Wang Biao said: "You dog slave, you don't know the prince of my family, and you are still barking here, my master is the Ming Tiger King who is ordered by the emperor today." ”
The county order seems to have heard of it, such a major matter, the court has already issued an official document, Zhu County Decree knows, this Anqing County Decree should also know, hearing this, he hurriedly got off the table and knelt down towards Wang Laohu: "The lower official does not know that the prince came to Anqing, please forgive the sin." ”
When the people outside the hall heard that this person was the prince of Minghu, they also knelt down one after another, and the people in the troupe also knelt down one after another.
Ouyang Yan didn't expect that just after some time, Wang Laohu became the prince of the Ming Dynasty from an official in Hangzhou, she took off Wang Laohu's hand, knelt down, and said: "The people's daughter knocks on the prince." ”
Wang Laohu first helped Ouyang Yan up, and then said to everyone: "Everyone please get up, everyone please get up, although I am the prince now, but like everyone, I am still an ordinary family, so you don't have to be polite." ”
The county ordered: "How long will the prince stay when he comes to Anqing?" ”
Wang Laohu said: "I have an old friend in Anqing, and after meeting the old friend, I will leave immediately." ”
The county commander nodded, he looked at Ouyang Yan, and said, "In the future, no one in Anqing, the head of the class, will bully her, please rest assured." ”
Wang Laohu glanced at Ouyang Yan and said, "Thank you for your care, but Miss Ouyang will go with me in the future, don't you really want to know who she is?" Now do you understand? ”
What a smart person the county commander is, he said: "The lower official understands, the lower official."
Understand, Xia Guan has seen the princess Niangniang. This call made Ouyang Yan embarrassed.
"My lord, I have a message for you, one day as a local official, one day as an Anqing parent official, you must be the master of the people of Anqing, and small cases must also be taken seriously, you must be responsible for the case, and you must be responsible for the people of Anqing."
"The lower officials remember the teachings of the prince."
In the evening, the stage.
All the personnel of the stage knelt down to Wang Laohu and saluted.
Wang Laohu doesn't care about these ordinary etiquette, so let everyone be exempted.
Ouyang Yan said: "I didn't expect that as soon as Hangzhou was parted, the current prince would become the prince of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Not only did she not expect it, but Wang Laohu himself also couldn't imagine that after experiencing this incident, he would become the prince of the Ming Dynasty. "Do we know what I'm here for? It's not just passing by. ”
"Lord Wang, are you here to take away the class master?" The old man said.
"I have a promise to Miss Ouyang, and it's time for me to fulfill my promise." Wang Laohu said and took out a hairpin from his arms, this hairpin was the purple jade exquisite hairpin he took out when he copied Liu Jin's mansion. This hairpin sparkled in the night light, and the dazzling light stunned the troupe members on the side, as well as Mu Huaying, they had never seen such a dazzling hairpin, and they could know that this hairpin was precious.
"Such a precious hairpin?" Ouyang Yan said.
"This hairpin is a token of love for you, I'll put it on for a while." As he spoke, Wang Laohu put this hairpin on Ouyang Yan's hair, and the light of this hairpin was a little restrained, but the beads exposed outside were still a little bright.
The troupe hurriedly knelt down and said, "Princess Niangniang." ”
"Hahahaha." Wang Laohu laughed loudly, "You went to Guichuan with me this time, but you won't come back, you can choose a successor for this troupe?" ”
Ouyang Yan said: "I didn't expect happiness to come so quickly, Lord Wang, do you remember the moment when I jumped off the city tower and asked you to avenge me?" ”
Wang Laohu nodded and said, "Of course I remember." ”
"Actually, my wife taught me to do this." Ouyang Yan said.
It was originally an encounter in Pingshui, but I didn't expect it, but it created a rare marriage. Wang Laohu asked the people of the troupe to get up and said to everyone: "Miss Ouyang and this king are in love, from today on, she will go to Guichuan and Qiannan with me, and this troupe will be handed over to you." ”
I really want to say goodbye, but it is a little difficult, and from everyone's eyes, we can see that everyone is still a little reluctant to let Ouyang Yan really leave. Ouyang Yan said: "Lord Wang, I want to finish a scene with everyone on stage tonight." ”
After experiencing the violent death of a drama fan, when she was about to go away, Ouyang Yan wanted to appear on the stage again, and after doing this thing, she left with Wang Laohu.
"Okay." Wang Laohu knew her reluctance, so he agreed.
Wang Laohu took Wang Biao and Mu Huaying to walk on the street of Anqing, it was already night, compared with the capital, it was not lively, there were few pedestrians, and now there were people rushing to the stage to watch the play.
Wang Laohu picked an open noodle stall and sat down, his heart couldn't calm down for a long time, after so many things, now he can finally feel at ease, he thinks about the women who are in love with him, he wants to give them happiness, he must give them happiness.
Xiao Er came up and asked, "What does the guest officer want to do?" ”
"Bring me three bowls of noodles." Wang Laohu asked Mu Hua Yingjing to sit down next to him, while Wang Biao sat at the next table.
"I'm a little sorry for you." Wang Laohu said to Mu Huaying.
"Why can't you stop me? I'm fine. Mo Hua Ying said.
"Don't lie to me, when I gave Miss Ouyang a hairpin, I saw something in your eyes, although you don't say it, but you like it very much in your heart."
"I don't care about those things."
Wang Laohu only smiled bitterly: "Okay, I don't care." Miss Mu, in my heart, you are a good woman, when you get to Guichuan, I will buy you a silverware, the girl over there wears silver jewelry, but it looks good. ”
"Lord Wang, I'm thinking, how can you know so many things at such a young age? In the past, you said that King Ning would rebel, but I didn't believe it, and you said that King Ning would be arrested, but I didn't believe it either. How can you be a prophet? ”
"You go and ask Concubine Shu about this, she knows."
Xiao Er served the noodles, looking at the noodles, Wang Laohu said: "The noodles in Anqing are a little different, they are not as delicious as those in the capital." ”
"Guest officer, are you from the capital?" Xiao Er asked.
Wang Laohu looked at Xiao Er and said, "We are passing through Anqing, so let's try the food here." ”
"I'm not praising our Anqing, our Anqing's noodles are also first-class."
"Xiao Er, let me tell you, the hottest thing in Anqing is not the noodles, the noodles are the Huangmei tone of Anqing." Wang Laohu said.
Mu Huaying looked at Wang Laohu and asked softly, "Lord Wang, how do you know, is it because of Miss Ouyang?" ”
"Didn't you say I had the ability to listen to prophets? Let me tell you, in a few hundred years, Huangmei Tune will go from here to the whole country, and the Anqing Huangmei Troupe is also one of the largest troupes in the country. Wang Laohu said, "Little brother, it's a good time for you to go to the troupe now." ”
Xiao Er said: "Singing is not something that can be done all at once, you have to practice from a young age, people send the baby to the troupe at a very young age, and I can only burn noodles in this stall." Guest, you use it slowly. ”
Wang Laohu smiled and said to Mu Huaying: "When you arrive in Guichuan, you will open a noodle restaurant, and business will be very good." ”
"Lord Wang, you are eccentric."
"Why am I biased?"
"You're already a prince, and you let your woman show up."
"Are you my woman? Haha......"
