Outside the city of Fengyin-eup.

With the smell of freshly turned earth, the skeletons of thirteen people lay on the straw curtain, and the grass was still faintly sticking to it. Because it was summer, the corpses decomposed relatively quickly, and only a few tattered clothes hung on them.

"The skeleton after the poisoning is black, and the dead are six adult men, three father and daughter, and the others are the bodies of children, according to the process of human eating, from the mouth to the stomach, these also have some black spots on the neck." Wei Qing said to everyone that Tian Jian had told him about these common senses when he was in the Chu State.

Under the cover of tattered clothing, people can barely observe that the abdomen, that is, the stomach, of the corpse is covered with dense black spots, which is what the corpse looks like after poisoning.

Some timid people have been frightened and hurriedly hid behind the crowd, the habit of watching the excitement is always a common disease of human beings, when they heard about the exhumation of the corpse, the people of Fengyinyi came to watch, and there was no shortage of some women listening to the wind and making up rumors.

"According to me! It must be this Chao who hooked up with the doctor, and finally the adultery was exposed, and this Chao was the killer, but unfortunately the doctor knew, hey, it's really a bad day. An aunt chattered in the crowd.

"Not necessarily, it is possible to make the doctor hook up first, after all, this little lady is very beautiful." Another aunt sighed.

......

"Your Majesty, An Pingjun, now it is clear that these corpses are poisoned to death as Lang Zhongling said, and only the people closest to the deceased can be poisoned, there is no doubt that this murderer is the Chao clan!" A smile appeared on the corner of Qiu Ren's mouth, showing a contemptuous look at the kneeling on the ground, and then bowed respectfully to Tian Dan and Tian Jian.

As a civilian, Chao is not qualified to stand up, and can only kneel on the ground.

"Ask the king to be the master, how can a woman poison her husband's family? All this is framed by Dr. Qiu, and the king is also invited to call the shots. Chao wept on the ground, and after saying that, he kowtowed fiercely, and after a while, there was blood on his head, and grass and dirt were sticked.

Tian Jian, who was sitting in Cheluan, frowned, this kind of villain's appearance is very disgusting, but if he wants to be a Ming Jun, it is impossible to kill Qiu Ren at will, once he does this, he will definitely leave a stigma on himself.

Sometimes justice can only be given to the powerful, but as a lowly person can only bear all injustice, until someone can be more powerful than the powerful one, and then can enjoy the justice of almsgiving.

He set his sights on An Pingjun, as a king, he couldn't speak easily.

Tian Dan's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Doctor Qiu said carefully, the matter of the murderer has not yet been determined. ”

Qiu Ren's face froze, and he didn't say anything more.

"Wait!" Wei Qing, who was next to the corpse, his face sank, and he touched the man with a larger skeleton, and found that there were broken fragments at the joints, and in order to confirm the guess in his heart, he tested the other corpses one after another.

"Your Majesty, most of these corpses have joint injuries, and the minister thinks that these people should be killed first, and then poisoned!"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd suddenly began to talk loudly.

"Quiet!" Wei Qing's face furrowed, and he motioned to the guards to drive these fools out of here one after another.

"Qiu Ren, what else do you have to say now!" Tian Jian said in a deep voice: "Could it be that after the Chao clan poisoned and killed them, they still beat the corpses?" ”

"Yes, yes, that's it!" Qiu Ren hurriedly shouted, "I can't imagine that this Chao clan is so ruthless, everyone has been killed by her, and she is still taking revenge on the corpse, it is really intolerable!" Tai Yishen, take away this poisonous woman! ”

"Shut up!" Tian Jian frowned, and glanced at the guards on the left and right, and then the guards detained Qiu Ren, "The widow hasn't spoken here yet, when will it be your turn to be a little doctor." ”

Qiu Ren's heart was cold, he knelt on the ground, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged!" ...”

"Wronged?" Tian Dan snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, according to the will of the minister, this person should be punished with capital punishment!" ”

Tian Jian looked at Tian Dan in surprise, Tian Dan's words were by no means simply a capital punishment, this was to help Tian Jian relieve the pressure from the nobles of the Qi Kingdom.

If Tian Jian is not happy to kill Qiu Ren, the nobles still play their own games, at most they think that you are a faint king, as long as you don't kill them, but if you are killed because you committed a crime, this will make the other nobles uncomfortable.

In this year, there are only a handful of good nobles, and which family does not have a murder case in their hands?

And if An Pingjun proposes to punish him with capital punishment, this is different from Tian Jian's proposal, at most, it will be counted as punishing adultery and eliminating evil, and everyone will have more respect for Tian Dan, but the protagonist's Tian Jian is easy to ignore!

This is intolerable to Tian Jian, his purpose is to rectify the rule of officials, to lay the foundation for the change of law, he originally disdained to meddle in this case, and his intervention is to make this trivial matter big, so as to brew a reform that affects the rule of officials in the entire Qi State.

If you want to change the law, you must reform first!

And now that An Pingjun has given him a trivial matter, wouldn't it make his scheming bamboo basket empty!

"Say, the widow doesn't believe it, only one person was involved in this massacre of thirteen people!" Tian Jian looked at Qiu Ren coldly, waved his robe, and said lightly: "If you don't say it, then the three clans of the Qiu clan!" “

"Yi Sanzu!" As soon as the words fell, Qiu Ren's face was like ashes, and the surroundings were quietly shocked, everyone forgot that in the land of Qi, although the real master, the Yi three clans, is very cruel, but it is not uncommon in other countries.

The Son of Heaven was angry and bled for thousands of miles!

In the country of Qi, the only one who can really suppress Tian Jian is his mother, the queen!

But you have to know who gave the queen's rights, it was Tian Jian who gave it, and it was Tian Jian who wanted to show his filial piety to the world, because of filial piety, so the queen had rights, but the root of the rights was the monarch's power.

What Tian Jian insisted on doing, in Qi State, there was no one to stop at all!

This is like the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who seemed to entrust the power in the hands of the first assistant and the eunuchs, but when they really wanted to use it, the first assistant and the eunuchs were not worth mentioning at all.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the power of the Empress Dowager Dou was very prosperous, but at that time, the Han Dynasty obeyed the rule of filial piety, if you really want to give the crown prince to the younger brother of Emperor Han Jing, Emperor Han Jing can also directly refuse, or even do more things, because they are the controllers of power, and the root of monarchy lies in them.

"This matter... This matter..."Qiu Ren successively said the murderer who helped him kill people, "Because of the beauty of the Chao family, the minister wanted to get him back as a concubine, but the fool refused, and killed him by mistake during the dispute. ”
