Chapter 178: Stinky to death

Lu Jinping glanced at the stunned villagers, and then said: "I examined Shi Niang's body, her face, lips and fingernails were cyanotic, this is because she was in the latrine, the typical characteristics of being smoked to death by miasma, just like being covered by someone who couldn't breathe air and died. I examined her internal organs after the autopsy and it was consistent with this characteristic. This proves my inference, of course, a more powerful evidence is that this fat pig simulated what happened to Shi Niang yesterday, and confirmed the existence of the terrible murderer of miasma with its life. ”

The miasma in the latrine mentioned by Lu Jinping is actually called hydrogen sulfide, which has the foul smell of rotten eggs, is an acute and highly toxic substance, is a nerve agent, is a suffocating and irritating gas, and inhalation of hydrogen sulfide with high concentrations can cause death in a short time. It can cause hypoxia to cells and form internal asphyxiation, so that the appearance of mechanical asphyxia on the surface and internal organs of the corpse is similar to that of murder.

Lu Jinping was walking in the village with Ye Qingqing before, and he couldn't figure out who Shi Niang was killed. At this time, someone was digging a manure pit on the road they passed, and the stench wafted over, Ye Qingqing said "stinky to death", it was this sentence that reminded Lu Jinping that he thought that manure would quickly ferment and decay at high temperatures, producing a large amount of hydrogen sulfide. Therefore, Shi Niang was not actually murdered, but stinked to death by the smell of feces and urine in the dung pit. To be precise, it was the large amount of hydrogen sulfide produced by fumigation in the closed latrine under the sun that poisoned it.

In an old-fashioned latrine with a manure pit, if the ventilation conditions are not good, if you enter under the scorching sun, you will feel hot in the eyes and uncomfortable in the mouth and nose, which is caused by hydrogen sulfide stimulation.

Eleven Niang is very miserable and unlucky. encountered a latrine under high temperature exposure, and the door was also closed, and the windows were not opened, the ventilation conditions were very poor, and the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in it was very high, which caused her to be poisoned and die quickly.

To prove this inference. Lu Jinping immediately returned to his residence and examined the collected efforts of the deceased.

In the blood of the deceased, he tested hydrogen sulfide several times more than the normal value, proving his inference.

Of course, there is a question here, that is, why only Shi Niang died in this latrine, and the others were fine.

This has been explained from previous surveys, because this latrine was newly built this year, and it has not been exposed to the scorching sun of last year, and the high summer heat of this year has occurred in these days. It hasn't been seen before. The vegetable farmer did not use the latrine, but only used it to accumulate the manure collected from the villages, so he escaped his fate. And Eleven Niang is a woman, and this toilet is on the side of the road, she didn't dare to open the door like a man, so she was stuffy inside, poisoned and forgotten.

Lu Jinping raised his voice and said, "I summoned everyone here to tell you. The latrine must not be tightly closed, of course, to cover up the shame. There must be a door, but above the latrine, there must be a vent, especially in the hot summer, otherwise under the sun, feces and urine will form a miasma and poison people. What happened to Eleven Niang and this pig. I think it's enough to wake everyone up. ”

Hearing Lu Jinping's words, the onlookers looked at each other. The facts they witnessed made them unable to believe what Lu Jinping said, and they all nodded frequently, with horror and fear on their faces.

Lu Jinping said to the village official: "You immediately call people to renovate the vegetable farmer's latrine and open the window." Ventilation above. Make sure there are no irritating scents inside, and then check all the latrines in your village one by one. If there are still latrines like vegetable farmers, which are closed on all sides, they should be repaired immediately, so that no one will be poisoned again, and this kind of tragedy must not be repeated. ”

The village is busy agreeing, and the vegetable farmer and others kneeling on the ground don't know what it feels like. The vegetable farmer couldn't imagine that it was the thatched toilet that he built on all sides that killed Shi Niang, and he couldn't help but feel extremely sad.

Jia Feng stared blankly at the dead pig on the ground, he thought that his eleven mother was killed by someone, but he didn't expect that he was smoked to death by the miasma produced by the thatched toilet under the scorching sun, and the miasma will poison people, which the common people know clearly, so Lu Jinping's explanation is acceptable to him. The test of this fat pig witnessed with his own eyes also confirmed Lu Jinping's inference. He was very sad in his heart, he knew this, why did he stay under the willow tree and wait? Why don't you have the audacity to go straight to her house to pick her up? In that case, Eleven Niang may be able to avoid this fate.

――――――――――――――

Chunhualou opened, and the owner personally sent an invitation to Lu Jinping.

Chunhualou is a luxury Qin building in the same state. In the Tang Dynasty, the Qin Tower was legal, and it was profitable, and it was also an important source of tax revenue for the imperial court, so the imperial court was still very welcome to open such a place, and the literati and ink writers of the Tang Dynasty slept on flowers and drunken willows, and many Tang poems were written in the Qin Tower. Many famous poets were also frequent visitors to the Qin Tower, so it was not a shame to enter and leave the Qin Tower in the Tang Dynasty.

However, Lu Jinping is a good young man from modern society, how can he be in such a place? He didn't bother to go, but along with the invitation, there was a load of gifts, and after opening it, it turned out to be a high-quality silk and satin, and a box of copper coins, the amount of which really made him a little excited.

And the invitation only let him attend, and did not let him cut the ribbon and give a speech or anything, probably to let him fill the scene. After all, he is a seventh-rank official, and he has a knighthood.

The owner of this Chunhualou is surnamed Ma, because of the wealth of the family, so he is called the rich man of Ma. Chunhualou is his biggest business, and it is also the cash cow he is looking forward to. When the rich man Ma sent an invitation to Lu Jinping, he hinted intentionally or unintentionally that he also sent gifts and invitations to other major officials such as Feng Tingshi of the Yamen.

Ma Cai's explanation made Lu Jinping finally find an excuse, since ancient officials could go to these places, why couldn't they go themselves? It's not a kiln visit, it's just to attend their opening ceremony. In ancient times, Qin Lou was a legal industry, which is equivalent to attending the company's ribbon-cutting ceremony now, and it is not a big deal, as an official of the imperial court, supporting the local economic development is also one of the tasks. Of course, in modern society, it is not possible to receive gifts to participate in such activities, but in ancient times there were no restrictions on this. Lu Jinping asked the people below and confirmed that there was nothing untrue about what the rich man said, so she accepted the invitation.

Qin Lou held the opening event at dinner, Lu Jinping returned to his residence first, took off his official uniform, changed into casual clothes, and a round-necked gown, he didn't think it was very appropriate to wear it to participate in such an event. was about to take Ye Qingqing out to attend the celebration, when the porter suddenly came to report that Yunzi was coming.

After Lu Jinping was kidnapped by Wang Bagui's wife Lu Niang, Yunzi once took someone to look for him by the river for a day, which contained feelings that made Lu Jinping very moved. After that, Yunzi also came to talk to her, but neither of them went out.

Now that Yunzi has come, Lu Jinping is about to go out, and he has no time to chat with her. However, he still walked quickly to the flower hall first, and saw that Yunzi was sitting there a little distracted, and seemed to be full of thoughts, Lu Jinping couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he stepped forward and bent down to look at her, and said, "What's wrong with you?" Why are you in a daze? ”

This woke Yunzi from his dream, screamed, stood up and looked at him, and said angrily: "Why did you come behind people quietly? Don't say hello, want to scare people to death? ”

"It's you who are distracted, you can't keep your soul, I didn't walk in quietly, what's wrong? Can I help you? ”

Yunzi sighed and said, "It's nothing. ”

"Okay, your face is full of things, although I don't know what it is, but I know that it must be very unpleasant for you, say, what? Maybe I can enlighten you. ”

Yunzi looked at him: "If you can really help me with this, then I have to thank you, but unfortunately, I'm afraid that you are not big enough to help." ”

Lu Jinping rolled his eyes, and the convenience of the people was a little understanding, and said: "Is it that the emperor has not agreed to your Tubo request for relatives?" ”

Yunzi nodded and said, "You're so smart, you can guess it with a guess." Hey, a few days ago, my father sent another letter from Tubo to you Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, mentioning the matter of harmony again. After I sent the letter, today the emperor and the empress sent a female official to tell me that Princess Jincheng is still too young, and the queen feels sorry for her and wants to keep her for a few more days, so let us wait patiently and not be in a hurry. Emperor Chrysostom will not repent. However, I have been waiting here for almost a year, and the emperor always said that the princess was too young to let her leave now, so when will it be? How long will it take? Hey, I feel annoyed when I think of this, so I want to find someone to talk to relieve my boredom. ”

Lu Jinping knew that the princess of Allure had come to Tibet with her relatives in history, and he knew the result, but to be honest, he was indeed not interested in the matter of kissing, and he didn't want to talk to him more about this matter, so he just smiled and said, "Since you are in a bad mood, do you want to go with me to relax?" ”

Yunzi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Okay! Where to go for a break? But now it's getting late, and it won't be long before it's dark. ”

"It's dark and naturally there is a way to play when it's dark, I'm afraid you won't want to go after listening to it."

Yunzi looked at him with some curiosity and said, "What the hell is going on?" Where the hell are you going? So mysterious. ”

Lu Jinping took out the invitation card of Chunhualou, handed it to her and said: "A Qin building is open, let me enjoy the light and go to have a meal, I heard that this Qin Lou has a lot of famous characters, it was invited by the rich man Ma from the capital with a lot of money, and he can be regarded as a character in the capital, and he is both beautiful and artistic, how about it?" Are you interested in opening your eyes? ”

Lu Jinping knew that Tubo did not have as many rules and constraints as the Tang Dynasty, and he should not be too resistant or disgusted with such a thing as Qin Lou, if it was not Yunzi standing in front of him, but other Datang women, Lu Jinping would not say this, but despite this, he still looked at Yunzi a little nervously, for fear of provoking him, it would be self-defeating.
