Ming Chengzu nodded and walked back to his seat. www.biquge.info Ji Gang came in with a basin of ice water from outside the door, and there were still some ice cubes floating on the water, and he splashed it violently at Lu Yuanshan, who had long hair covering his face.

Lu Yuanshan shivered, let out a painful moan, and slowly raised his head, looking at them with blank eyes.

Ming Chengzu sneered and continued: "After I got Ji Aiqing's report, I was still suspicious at first, and I personally interrogated the maid Lian'er, and sure enough, when I arrested the slut of the Lu family for interrogation, she tortured her, and she didn't admit it. After Ji Aiqing's torture of her maids, they all confessed. Only then did I learn that this slut had already attempted to attack Concubine Xian! ”

Ming Chengzu hated it so much that he was too anxious, a little out of breath, and said to Ji Gang: "You go ahead and tell Yang Aiqing about this case." He remembered the tragic death of his concubine, and was very angry, picked up a red-hot soldering iron, and kept burning Lu Yuanshan's body. After Lu Yuanshan was woken up by the cold water, the pain recovered a lot, he was scalded and screamed, extremely desolate, and after a while, he was burned unconscious, and Ming Chengzu couldn't understand his hatred, and he still kept burning with a soldering iron.

Ji Gang smiled casually: "Brother Yang, the emperor personally interrogated Lu Yuanshan's maids and servants (eunuchs) around him, and found out that this Lu Yuanshan once had no respect for himself and ridiculed the virtuous concubine. At the beginning, after Queen Xu went to the immortals, the emperor let Concubine Xian Niangniang take charge of the inner palace, and since Lu Yuanshan said something rebellious, he ridiculed Queen Xu and Concubine Xian Niangniang and said: "The queen who has children and grandchildren is also dead." You've been in charge for months, so rude! 'Brother Yang, do you want to see, is this Lu still talking about people? ”

Of course, Yang Qiuchi can understand this kind of battle between the palaces, but listening to Lu Yuanshan's words, it seems to be too arrogant and a little unbelievable.

Ji Gang seemed to see Yang Qiuchi's doubts, and said: "This sentence has been heard by many servants and maids under Lu Yuanshan, as well as by the maids of Concubine Xian. The evidence is overwhelming. However, just these few words, the emperor remembered her externalized people, and it was not far away, and he came from North Korea to serve the emperor in my holy court, and he didn't plan to care. Unexpectedly, after further interrogation, it was found out that this Lu Yuanshan was like a snake and scorpion in order to compete for favor, and he poisoned Concubine Xian. ”

Ji Gang glanced at Lu Yuanshan, who was burned to death by Ming Chengzu on the wooden shelf, and continued: "This Lu clan colluded with the accompanying celebrant eunuch Jin Liang and the eunuch Jin De in the hall to buy arsenic from a silversmith named Xu Si in Lincheng, crushed it into powder, and put it in the bowl of noodle tea that Concubine Xian Niangniang drank before going to bed. ”

Yang Qiuchi's heart was cold, he had asked this maid Lian'er, if there was such a conspiracy, why didn't he even notice it? Now that it has been found out like this, then this Lu Yuanshan is probably in a catastrophe.

At this time, Ming Chengzu had already thrown away the soldering iron, and after returning to the dragon case, several brocade guards ran out to bring ice water, and began to pour this Lu Yuanshan again. The maid on the other wooden frame had already passed out, and the two torturers also woke her up with ice water and continued to whip her.

Ji Gang said: "For this kind of femme fatale, if you are indulgent, how can you be worthy of the tragic death of the virtuous concubine, therefore, the emperor was furious, so he punished this Lu Yuanshan, and wrote a letter to ask North Korea to kill Lu Yuanshan's family." The maid Lian'er, the eunuch Jin Liang with the palm print, the eunuch Jin De with the court, and the silversmith Xu Si were extremely evil and had been executed by the emperor's decree. Lu Yuanshan's maids and servants did not report it, resulting in the murder of Concubine Xian, and Imperial Physician Gao and Imperial Physician Ai did not find out that Niangniang died of murder, and the imperial kitchen of the army was also unforgivable, and they were all beheaded together. ”

Yang Qiuchi understood now, Ji Gang said it so easily, but when he put it outside, it was the bloody rain and bloody wind he saw when he came back, hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs were executed by Zhu Lian, and even Lu Yuanshan's family in North Korea was not spared, which was just a piece of cake for Ming Chengzu and Ji Gang.

Judging from what Ji Gang said, there are many loopholes in this case, although the confessions are consistent, but the torture of Jinyiwei is used to force a confession, so what kind of confession can't be forced, and even if this Lu Yuanshan wants to kill Concubine Xian, such a confidential matter, how can he let his maids and eunuchs know, and now they are confessing like this in unison, it is obvious that Ji Gang induced confessions on the basis of torture in order to invite merit. However, this can only be thought about in his own mind, Ji Gang is now red and purple in front of Ming Chengzu, and he can't afford to provoke him.

At this time, a brocade-clothed guard stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Lu family seems to be ...... Seems to be dead......"

Ming Chengzu and Ji Gang were not much surprised, Ming Chengzu said to Yang Qiuchi: "Yang Aiqing, you go and check, whether this slut is really dead or fake." ”

Yang Qiuchi answered, walked to the wooden frame, picked up Lu Yuanshan's long hair, raised his eyes to see, it was really not the Lu Meiren of the Lantern Festival, stretched out two fingers and pressed on the neck veins of her neck, she couldn't feel the pulse beating, lifted her eyelids, saw that her pupils had been dilated and fixed, found a piece of paper, lit it on the fire, and shook it in front of Lu Yuanshan's eyes, and her pupils had no reaction to the light.

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "She's dead." Obviously, this Lu Yuanshan is because of the continuous severe pain, which leads to the dysfunction of the reflex surname central nervous system, and the original surname is shock, of course, more than ten days of burning can also cause her body's red blood cells to be destroyed and release a large amount of potassium, causing hyperkalemia and cardiac arrest. It's just that the cause of her death is no longer important.

Ming Chengzu snorted: "Cheap this slut!" ”

Ji Gang also said: "That's it, this femme fatale woman died after being burned for more than ten days, and this life is really big." ”

After Lu Yuanshan died, the torture of her maid was meaningless, and Ming Chengzu ordered the tortured maid to be taken out and beheaded.

Yang Qiuchi was a little gloomy, this case was actually closed like this, which surprised him very much, he wrote that letter just to ask Ji Gang to monitor these people, and wait for further investigation after he returned. Unexpectedly, Ji Gang tortured these people to extract confessions, found out the so-called truth full of loopholes, and when he rushed back to the capital, he killed all the people who should be killed. So what else to investigate.

Ming Chengzu was very satisfied, and felt that he had finally avenged his concubine. said to Yang Qiuchi: "Yang Aiqing, if you hadn't found out that Concubine Xian had died of arsenic poisoning, this case would not have been solved." Concubine Xian's revenge cannot be avenged. You're good, you're good, I'm going to reward you heavily, anyway, what do you want? ”

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is all a matter of Wei Chen's responsibility, and I dare not accept the reward...... Wei Yi hesitated, but decided to say what he was worried about, so as not to have problems when he got it, he didn't say it in advance, but it was also a crime of bullying the king. Then he continued: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen feels that there are still some problems in this case that have not been clarified. ”

Ming Chengzu was slightly stunned: "Didn't find out?" Okay, tell me, what else hasn't been clarified? ”

Now that he has spoken, he is about to finish speaking, Yang Qiuchi stubbornly continued: "Weichen is not sure that Concubine Xian died of arsenic poisoning......

Ming Chengzu said: "Didn't you use the silver hairpin to probe your throat and find that the silver hairpin turned black?" ”

"That's true......"

"That's right, what is this not arsenic poisoning?" Ming Chengzu said.

Yang Qiuchi didn't dare to give the emperor a forensic class, explaining that there were other possibilities for the silver hairpin to turn black, let alone saying that he would perform an autopsy on Concubine Xian. After thinking about it, he said: "Your Majesty, this silver hairpin only reached the throat of the mother, and there was no way to reach the stomach. Even if Niangniang's body is poisonous, it can only be said that it is poisonous in the throat, but it cannot be inferred that Niangniang has arsenic poisoning in her body, in other words, it can only be said that Niangniang may have arsenic in her throat, but it is not certain that Niangniang was poisoned by arsenic. ”

These words are very rigorous from the perspective of forensic science, but when they hear Ming Chengzu's ears, they are in the clouds, as if they are tongue twisters. frowned and asked, "Yang Aiqing, you said it simply. ”

"Simpler?" Yang Qiuchi felt that he had said it very simply, no matter how simple it was, he couldn't say it clearly, so he turned his head and said: "What Weichen means is that the arsenic substance in Niangniang's throat is not necessarily the residual vomit after taking poisonous noodle tea, causing vomiting, and there are other possibilities, such as ...... For example......" Yang Qiuchi remembered the plot in Stephen Chow's "Jiupin Sesame Official", so he said: "For example, Concubine Xian Niangniang was poured into it after her death." ”

What the? Ming Chengzu and Ji Gang were taken aback. Ming Chengzu said: "Yang Aiqing, do you have any basis for what you said?" ”

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly bowed down and said: "No, this is just Wei Chen's speculation, so Wei Chen originally wanted to ask Lord Ji to monitor the maid Lian'er and the imperial chef of the army first, and wait for Wei Chen to ......come back."

The commander Ji Gang was on the side, and interjected lukewarmly: "In this way, Lord Yang thinks that the emperor and my Ji Gang are troublesome?" ”

Yang Qiuchi was shocked, and hurriedly took off his robe and knelt in front of Ming Chengzu: "Wechen will never dare to have such a rebellious idea, Wechen just wants to thoroughly investigate this case......

Ming Chengzu's tone was also a little displeased: "That's it, this case has been revealed, Yang Aiqing has worked hard, let's go back and rest first." ”

Yang Qiuchi didn't dare to say any more, agreed, kowtowed, stood up, bowed backwards to the door, and then turned around and walked out of the door.

A few stoves in the house were burning vigorously, but Yang Qiuchi only found out at this time that cold sweat was already breaking out on his forehead. I thought about it, since this case was tried by the emperor, if I found it myself, it would be to correct the emperor's wrong case, that kind of thankless thing, it is better not to do it, and stop it.

Yang Qiuchi walked out of the Xianfei Palace with a depressed face, and Song Yun'er greeted him and asked, "Brother, how is it?" ”

Yang Qiuchi shook his head and sighed: "Let's go, let's go home." ”
