Chapter 543: Post-mortem Momentum

'Sister-in-law, aunt, people can't be resurrected after death, and mourning is good. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info', Jiang's family, a gloomy mist. A family in the Tang Dynasty was very common in the courtyard, and a mourning hall was placed, and several friends of Judge Jiang of the same year came to mourn.

In this vicinity, I don't hear the dog barking. The Tang people are very taboo about dogs seeing corpses. It's not a corpse, it's a heavy mourning.

Judge Jiang got the surviving people, shook the lid and knocked on the coffin to call the deceased to get the name, and there were rice, meat, and millet wine in front of the coffin, calling the deceased to come back to eat, and shook it three times in a row.

'Unexpectedly, back then, I waited for the two of us to take the imperial examination together, and Brother Jiang Nian was on the list, and once he became the first, I thought he could succeed in his life. I went to work as a medical worker. Tao Yigong looked sad and looked around the courtyard.

Although he was on the top, but his brother, the family environment is still not improved, in order to take the imperial examination, although the family has assets and borrowed a lot of foreign debts, it is not easy to pay it back, I was thinking that I could live a good life, but I didn't expect...

'Thank you, uncle, relatives withered, thanks to uncle busy. Wearing a white mourning dress, Jiang's surviving people greeted him, he hurriedly waved his hand, and said, he only hated himself for his heavy studies, and he had not been able to get together with his brothers over the years.

'Sister-in-law, my younger brother has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not. Doctor Tao gritted his teeth and said. 'Uncle, please speak. ''Brother Jiang is too young, he shouldn't be so early.'' After a moment's hesitation, Dr. Tao said, "I always feel that there is something wrong and want to perform an autopsy on him." ’

'Post-mortem? Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exclaimed together. This pottery doctor has been friends with his family for many years.

In that year, the two of them took the examination together to get Li Chen's new-style imperial examination, and the head of the family was admitted and entered the Hanlin Academy. He had also farmed before, and his family could be regarded as a farmer, and he knew that farmers had to work hard to become a judge of persuasion.

Tao Shizi, on the other hand, was the last place to be replaced, and finally took the entrance examination to the Tai Medical College that year, and became a medical worker. They know that, but what's going on with this autopsy?

'Post-mortem examination.... Doctor Tao hesitated and said. This is a new medical department opened by Li Chen. The main reason is that he was influenced by a TV series before, Da Song Ti Criminal Officer. This TV series is about the deeds of the Song Dynasty and Song Cide.

Song Ci, a native of the Southern Song Dynasty. He served as a prisoner four times. He is the author of China, and even the world's first forensic science book, and a record of clearing grievances. Systematize the way you die.

Li Chen also made such a play in Datang. He used to like to read books like the Bao Gong case, and he still has a little impression of these. He also collected the pestle works of the Tang Dynasty, and compiled the forensic science books of the Tang Dynasty with their experience, the experienced physicians of the Imperial Medical Department, and the experience of Li Chen's later generations.

Li Chen doesn't know if this book is better than the record of clearing grievances. It's a pity that he can't do an autopsy, but at least he did everything he could to catalog what he saw on TV. Then some unscientific blood tests were carried out, and bones were exhumed and steamed.

And Tao Yigong has been exposed to this book in Tai Medical College. Knowing those places, it is likely that there is no detailed examination.

After all, he didn't just rely on this book, in addition to reading through the book, he also learned a lot of pathology knowledge. If he is really sick and dead, he can find out.

'But...', both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were silent to show their disagreement. Human death is great, and the whole corpse is the top, which is a very important concept in China. Not only in China, but also in Western countries before modern society, this concept was also very important. Even, even in modern times, many people still think so.

Therefore, both of them stopped talking, and the scene fell into an embarrassing silence. There is not even mourning, the funeral in the Tang Dynasty is very extravagant, there are many funerals, and there must be singing mourning. It's just that the Jiang family is not wealthy, and secondly, Li Chen has recently begun to rectify this atmosphere.

It's good to say locally, Chang'an is at the feet of the Son of Heaven. No matter how low the rank of Judge Jiang is, he is also an official, and it is not good to do too much. It's a pity that his grade is too low, otherwise he would be able to have sixteen people in the court establishment of five grades or above. Therefore, the scene was very silent, only cigarettes curled and blown away by the breeze.

Probably because he couldn't stand the strange atmosphere of the scene, the Jiang family was the only one who could bring it at present, the two-year-old son of the Jiang family cried, and the daughter-in-law hurriedly took him away, leaving Tao Shizi and her mother-in-law.

'Aunt, I know that this matter is lacking in virtue, Brother Jiang and I are close friends, if it weren't for the sneaky situation, I wouldn't want to blaspheme him. Tao Yigong said stubbornly, he knew that if the two had not been dating for many years, and someone else proposed this suggestion, I am afraid that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would take a broom and beat him out.

But he had to say that he always felt that Brother Jiang had to die, and it was strange to die. He was also a medical worker, and if he didn't solve this mystery, he would be upset.

Otherwise, so be it. The Tao medical worker had an idea and thought of a way, "Ask Brother Jiang Nian, if he agrees, we will open the coffin for an autopsy." How do you ask when a person dies? Ask.

'Brother Jiang Nian, if you have knowledge under the spring, give three holy grails. If you are really wronged, your brother should avenge you. I will surely avenge your grievances. In front of the coffin, the potter burned paper money and muttered to himself.

Burning paper money, this is a traditional Chinese custom. During the New Year's festival and when there is a sacrifice, paper money should be burned. The paper money style is all yellow paper. There are large and small, and each has different patterns on it, corresponding to different worship objects. Worship ancestors, worship ancestors, worship gods, all have different styles.

The new generation probably doesn't know what to do. Like before Li Chen crossed over, he worshipped every year, and he didn't know how to divide it, but he probably remembered that worshipping his ancestors asked for Quartet gold. But the incense paper shop understands, you go to the incense paper shop to buy, and people will help you match it.

Square gold, square, the size of an adult's palm. There is a gold wall in the middle. All the incense paper has such a sticker, it is said that a long time ago, these are real money and silver, although a small one, but the accumulation of a lot, this is the source of income for the temple, the believers burned the paper, the monk Taoist cleaned up the ashes, this is their income.

Now, of course, it's just sequin. Even New China has long since changed to burn RMB and checks. The habit of losing tradition has long been lost. After burning the paper, the potter began to throw the cup.

Pray first, say what you want to ask, and then throw the two red wooden objects in your hand to the ground. It is a crescent-shaped piece of red wood with protrusions at both ends. The middle is broken in half, forming two planes on one side, and a crescent moon on the other end.

The potter threw it three times in a row, and all three times the chalice appeared. The Holy Grail is two crescent-shaped wooden objects, one positive and one negative. What is positive and what is negative? It doesn't matter, as long as it's not the same on both sides, it means that the deceased agrees, otherwise it doesn't agree. Don't say it's superstition, the probability of one positive and one negative is not 1 in 2. You can also throw it casually.

It's not casual, at least three times. In addition, there are 30 consecutive throws that cannot be made. There is such a story recorded in the Northern Dream Trivia Volume.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor of the Emperor was in the middle of the year. Jingzhou became a public order, and was ordered to lead troops to rescue Jiangxia. He did not listen to the persuasion of others, and when he passed by a temple, there were two Vajra gods in Li Mian, and he wanted to ask for one to represent the Holy Grail of auspiciousness. As a result, I couldn't roll it thirty times in a row. In the end, the army was defeated and died.

The Tao medical worker threw the cup, and even the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family came to see the child, and found that the holy grail was thrown three times, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cried loudly. This does not mean that the coffin should be opened for an autopsy, but it also means that their family is a pillar of support, and they have grievances and died unjustly.

At that moment, Tao Yigong invited his division commander in the Taiyi Department to testify, and began to open the coffin for autopsy according to the autopsy records obtained from the examination. When he endured the stench and opened the coffin, all the truth was revealed, and the case was sent to Li Chen's desk, and Li Chen ordered Jinyi to investigate in detail.

The whole thing went like this, initially, the Hao family surnamed Zhao planned very well, and they planned to let a homeless leader go to the top tank. Displaced people are those who have run away, are not in their household registration, and evade taxes without authorization, and Li Chen has also been a homeless for a period of time.

Originally, it was planned that the leader of the homeless people named Liu Erma would use him to find a few homeless people, and after killing the judge who had to persuade the peasants to get in the way, he would flee to other places. Then they asked a family member to come forward and communicate with Liu Erma, and finally killed both of them.

In this way, there is no proof of death at all. Even if the local government wants to track it down, it will not be able to contact this seemingly simple vendetta between the two sides, and the conspiracy behind it is so deeply hidden. When the government caught those few homeless people and interrogated them strictly, the grass on the graves of these two people grew taller than people.

There was no proof of death, and as soon as the judge of persuasion of agriculture died, the court sent a new judge of persuasion of agriculture, but it was useless, and at that time the factory buildings were built and the textile mills began to operate.

It's just that they are smart, and they are not stupid. Liu Erma escaped death. Originally, the Zhao Hao clan took advantage of Liu Erma's fancy to be the first Qinglou woman, and asked the woman to instigate Liu Erma to do something big, and she obeyed him. After the hemp wine, the rice green worm got into the brain for a while, and it was done. As a result, the woman repented, and Liu Erma killed her in a fit of anger and fled.

This time the Zhao Hao clan panicked, they didn't know how much Liu Erma knew about them, so they could only collude with the government, on the one hand, Liu Erma was wanted, and on the other hand, the government asked the government to find a pestle, and casually checked Judge Jiang to die of a violent illness, wanting to fool the past.

If no one debunks this, maybe this matter will pass like this, leaving Judge Jiang alone with his old mother and his wife, and bringing the three-year-old child to grieve.

It's just that his friend, Tao Shizi, who won the imperial examination together back then, felt puzzled and opened the coffin for an autopsy, which made the whole thing break out.

This matter is serious. Pursued by Jinyi, Liu Erma was arrested. This was the end of the matter.

The one who instigated him to do something big and went to kill the official and the female branch girl died. The murderer was Liu Erma, who worked with several homeless people, dragged Judge Jiang to a dark place, and beat him to death. As for why the woman had provoked him like this, he himself did not know.

All he knew was that after he woke up, he realized that he had made a big mistake, and after killing the woman, he fled overnight, and then he kept running until he was arrested.

Originally, the matter should have ended like this, the magistrate was just a negligent officer, or he was afraid that this matter would be too big and affect his career, so he deliberately covered it up, and he shouldn't have made Li Chen so angry.

It's just that the female branch girl actually has the habit of remembering the day. Because Li Chen "invented" charcoal, paper was also manufactured in large quantities, and the price was reduced a lot. This female branch girl actually has the habit of remembering the day. Her diary, Good Death, recorded Zhao Dechang, and asked her to instigate Liu Erma, the leader of the exiles who had always been infatuated with him, to kill Judge Jiang.

The Zhao family's father and son didn't know about this matter. And this diary became a testimony in court. The father and son of the Zhao family were arrested, and Jinyi did not use physical destruction, but only used simple threats to make Zhao Dechang confess, saying that he colluded with the magistrate to cover up the truth of the matter.

The whole case has become very serious at this point. This is no longer a brainless homeless leader who drank too much, and then the local government was negligent, or covered up for political performance, which can be explained. Rather, the local government colluded with the powerful, deceived the superiors and the subordinates, and acted recklessly. Even, it is not too much to commit a crime of deception.

Tell me what to do. As soon as Li Chen spoke, everyone first said that they would judge the sacrifice, promote him and reward his bereaved relatives.

For that prefectural order, it was also said that it would be severely punished. Even if he has always been a good person, and he is sloppy in his work, he doesn't want to offend people, and he just wants to be in this position for a few more years to make the fox a fox, and he doesn't dare to plead for his mouth.

They all have experience in the ruling side, and they also know that it is difficult for magistrates to be officials. The local government may not really be involved in this matter. Many people think that if they are in the position of the county commander, they will take the initiative to cover it up without Zhao Dechang coming forward.

After all, even if the judge of persuasion is a petty official, he is still an official. In his jurisdiction, he was beaten to death by a homeless leader with several men. If this happens, the magistrate, I'm afraid, will end his term of office.

The local officials are so poorly governed, and the parents and officials have to bear the greatest responsibility, and if they report it, the black yarn hat will definitely not be able to keep it. Who willingly? Ten years of hard work, for which I lost all my life. Therefore, cover-up has become inevitable.

It's just that no one dares to touch Li Chen's moldy head. Wei Lichen was very angry without trying the sound, Li Chen's expression was calm at the moment, and he didn't say what to do, only let them give their opinions. However, the reports they see are similar to those in the newspapers, which is very problematic.

Where did the newspapers get the news? Of course, it was announced by the government. And why did the government take the initiative to announce it? Announcing it even before they see it? Unless it's really stupid enough to be stupid, the prime minister can guess the answer honestly.

Is the prime minister stupid enough to be stupid? At least Li Chen didn't have it under his hands. Therefore, even if he is honest and cowardly like Wei Cong, he has come to a conclusion that this time the emperor has made a big move.

What the emperor was going to do, they didn't know. The only thing that is clear is that the emperor is building momentum. It's going to be done for the big moves, so everyone knows what they're going to do.
