286.Chapter 286
During the Tang Dynasty, people who died had to report to the government for registration, which was not only to prevent some people from dying unclearly, but also for the distribution of land and taxes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, there are not many corpses that can enter the morgue.
After Zhang Gu led Tang Zhou to the morgue, an unpleasant rancid smell suddenly came to his nose, and after Tang Zhou smelled this smell, he almost vomited, so he quickly covered his nose.
Seeing this, Zhang Gu on the side said, "Little Hou Ye, there is nothing to see in the corpse, so it's better to go." ”
Tang Zhou shook his head: "Let's go in and take a look, it's all here." ”
Zhang Gu had no choice but to lead Tang Zhou to Ah Sheng's corpse, and after lifting the white cloth, Zhang Gu pointed to Ah Sheng's corpse: "Little Hou Ye, this is the person Ouyang Tong killed." ”
Tang Zhou covered his nose and glanced at it, only to see that Ah Sheng was indeed thin and small, if it was a person like Tie Zhi, it was really possible to kill him with one punch, but Ouyang Tong's strength should not be so great, how could he kill him with one punch?
Thinking like this, Tang Zhou went to look at the deceased's face again, and on the deceased's face, there were indeed fist marks, but in addition, Tang Zhou also found a little abnormality, that is, the deceased's lips were slightly purple and his face was slightly dark.
Although Tang Zhou doesn't know much about autopsy, he has watched a lot of reasoning TV series in his previous life, isn't purple and black a sign of poisoning, can't he see such an obvious thing?
Thinking like this, Tang Zhou walked out of the morgue, and only after he could no longer smell the rancid smell did Tang Zhou ask, "Is it possible that the deceased died of poisoning?" ”
When Zhang Gu heard Tang Zhou ask, he was stunned for a moment, and said, "At that time, many people testified that they fell to the ground and died after Ouyang Tong punched him, how could he be poisoned?" ”
"So you didn't test if he was poisoned?"
Zhang Gu looked embarrassed: "No, and we didn't get close to the corpse at that time, so we just let the servants look through it." ”
Hearing this, Tang Zhou was a little angry in his heart, Zhang Gu was very smart when he investigated the murder of Wujun Temple, how could he become stupid when investigating this case?
Could it be that because the case of Wujun Temple involved powerful people, they investigated it fiercely, and because there were many witnesses, they didn't even look at Ah Sheng's body?
Tang Zhou felt that this attitude of investigating the case was really unacceptable.
But now Tang Zhou was not in the mood to talk these nonsense to Zhang Gu, he asked directly: "Purple lips and black face, is it a symptom of poisoning?" ”
"Yes."
"You also saw the corpse just now, did you notice these symptoms?"
Zhang Gu hesitated for a moment, then turned around and entered the morgue again, and after coming out after a while, he said, "Little Hou Ye, the deceased is afraid that he was really poisoned." ”
After Zhang Gu said this, he seemed to suddenly realize something, so he hurriedly said: "If the deceased was poisoned to death, then he was not killed by Ouyang Tong?" ”
Tang Zhou bowed: "So there is something strange about this case, I think Zhang Zhutou can investigate it clearly, right?" ”
When Zhang Gu heard this, he knew that Tang Zhou was trying to save Ouyang Tong, but if the deceased was really poisoned, he also had the responsibility to investigate clearly, so he bowed his hand to Tang Zhou and said, "My subordinates must do their best." ”
Tang Zhou nodded, and then went to find Shi Wendao, after seeing Shi Wendao, Tang Zhou said what Ouyang Xun meant, and wanted to see Ouyang Tong, Shi Wendao knew that Ouyang Tong couldn't run, and now there was new progress in the case, so he also readily agreed.
But just when Shi Wendao was about to let Tang Zhou take Ouyang Tong away, there was a burst of shouts outside the Assassin Shi Mansion, this thing was very abnormal, Shi Wendao frowned slightly, and shouted: "Come on, what's going on outside?" ”
A servant hurriedly ran over and said hurriedly: "My lord, the people are running to make trouble. ”
Hearing this, Shi Wendao and Tang Zhou were suddenly shocked, they stabbed Shifu in a dignified manner, how dare the people come to make trouble?
"What the hell is going on, for no reason, what are the people doing here?"
"That's the case, today His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the palace to intercede with Ouyang Tong, and the news came out somehow, and then everyone said that the prince was very dissatisfied with him because of his private abolition, so they came to assassinate the Shifu and asked your lord to ...... Ask your lord to kill Ouyang Tong. ”
The crown prince Li Chengqian pleaded with Ouyang Tong, but the people wanted to kill Ouyang Tong, which sounds strange, but after thinking about it carefully, I don't think it's strange at all, the people have broken the law, most of them are dead, and now Ouyang Tong has killed someone but has been pleaded for, how can these Guanzhong children endure it?
In addition, these people have some hatred for the rich, Ouyang Tong, a rich man, is afraid that he will be even more hated by them, so it is normal for him to come to assassinate Shifu to make trouble and ask to kill him.
After figuring out what was going on, Shi Wendao was a little angry: "The prince's plea is the prince's business, how can you let Lord Ben sentence a person to death casually, these people are really ignorant, blow them away." ”
Shi Wendao is a smart person, not to mention that he now knows that Ouyang Tong may not be a murderer, even if Ouyang Tong is really a murderer, he can't casually sentence someone to death because of these people's nonsense.
Whether a person is sentenced to death or not is very strict, and it needs to be submitted level by level, until the emperor sees it and feels that this person really deserves to die, this will be sentenced to death, if he Shi Wendao is forced by the people to sentence Ouyang Tong to death in this way, then he is not far from leaving the Assassin's Mansion.
After receiving the order, the officials were about to drive the people away, but Shi Wendao suddenly called out to those officials and said: "Don't worry about them, the more these people fight against them, the more crazy they become, let them make trouble outside the door." ”
Shi Wendao suddenly changed his attention, because he remembered Tang Zhou's reaction when these people were making trouble in Tang Hou's Mansion, although he was an official, if he really beat these people away, he was afraid that it would cause more trouble.
Although this matter was in his assassination mansion, but now Tang Zhou wants to save Ouyang Tong, this has become Tang Zhou's matter, why should he stop all the responsibility alone?
After giving such an order, Shi Wendao looked at Tang Zhou and said, "Little Marquis, what do you think of this?" ”
Tang Zhou was so smart, he had already seen what Shi Wendao meant, and now that Shi Wendao asked, he smiled lightly: "These people must have been bewitched by someone, otherwise the prince helped Ouyang Tong intercede, what did he have to do with them, Lord Shi, don't you say?" ”
After hearing this, Shi Wendao was suddenly shocked in his heart, and secretly thought that he was fortunate that he didn't make any moves, otherwise it would really make a big incident, how could the prince Li Chengqian's intercession make the people so resentful, thinking that several princes in the court are fighting now, if he Shi Wendao still doesn't understand what is going on, it will be too stupid.
"What the little marquis said is very true, so what should we do now?" Thinking that this matter involved the struggle of the imperial power, he Shi Wendao did not dare to be careless.
