Chapter 829: Li Liangzuo is dead
Since it was built, it was the first time that the Xirong Mansion was so lively as it is now, the garrison outside and the spies of the Imperial City Division who were secretly monitoring all came in to search carefully, and as long as the officials under the dynasty were not in a hurry, they were all pulled over to help search, after all, Li Liangzuo was an important prisoner of the Great Song Dynasty, if he could escape under such strict surveillance, then the Great Song Dynasty would be a big loser.
"Your Highness, I found it!" Just when Zhao Yan was anxious, he suddenly saw the dynasty rushing over, and said in a loud voice with a happy face.
"Where did you find it?" Zhao Yan's face was also overjoyed when he heard this, and at the same time, the worries in his heart were finally put down, as long as Li Liangzuo didn't run away, it would be the best.
"Your Highness, you would never have imagined that we found it in the kitchen, and although the person was found, he was already dead, and it looks like he had been dead for several days, although it was winter, but the corpse also stinked!" The dynasty reported again at this time. The focus of their search was on the places in the mansion where they might escape, and they didn't pay much attention to places like the kitchen, but fortunately, someone inadvertently passed by the kitchen and smelled something wrong inside, so they found that Li Liangzuo, who had been dead for a long time.
"Dead? How could he suddenly die? Zhao Yan couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard this, he had imagined countless reasons before, the biggest of which was that Li Liangzuo escaped with the help of others, but he didn't expect that the other party had died here.
"We don't know, a brother found Li Liangzuo's body in the kitchen, and there are no obvious injuries on his body, and because the body has stinked, I don't know how he died for the time being, I have sent someone to inform him just now, but it is estimated that it will take a while to arrive." Wang Chao also said with a puzzled face at this time, although Li Liangzuo was imprisoned here, he was usually taken care of by someone for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Why did you suddenly run into the kitchen?
"Let's go, take me to see it!" Zhao Yan was originally half a doctor, although he didn't know much about forensic matters, but at least he had dissected the corpse, maybe he could see the cause of Li Liangzuo's death, and he also wanted to personally determine whether the deceased was Li Liangzuo?
"Third uncle. Do you really want to see the dead? Zhao Xu was a little scared when he heard Zhao Yan's words, after all, he was still young, and he had a natural fear of corpses and the like.
"Why, you're not scared, are you?" Zhao Yan asked with a deliberate smile.
"Who...... Who's scared? Seeing the smile on Zhao Yan's face, Zhao Xu immediately argued to himself, and then walked in front with his small chest, his age was the time when his self-esteem was the strongest, so he naturally couldn't stand Zhao Yan's agitation.
At that moment, Zhao Yan followed Wang Chao to the kitchen where Li Liangzuo's body was found, which was actually not far from the courtyard where they had met the demented old servant before. And this yard is relatively clean, and it seems that there are people living here, and it is estimated that the old servant lives here.
At that moment, Zhao Yan took Zhao Xu into the kitchen, and as soon as he entered it, he immediately smelled a foul smell, fortunately, the weather is cold now, and the smell is not very strong, but even so. As soon as Zhao Xu came in, his face turned pale, and he felt a wave of nausea in his chest and wanted to vomit. As for Zhao Yan and Wang Chao, their faces were as usual, and they didn't take this smell in their eyes at all.
I saw that the area of this kitchen is not small, but most of it is empty, and there is not much place to use, which is also normal, after all, there are only two people in the entire mansion, Li Liangzuo and the old servant. Naturally, there is not much room for cooking, and there are a lot of meat and vegetables piled up in the kitchen, it seems that although Li Liangzuo is under house arrest, his usual food is not bad, after all, he was once the king of a country. Naturally, it was necessary to preserve for him some of the dignity of a king.
But at the location of the stove, the corpse of a middle-aged man with gray hair was lying there, his hands and feet curled together, looking as if he was in great pain before he died, because the face of the corpse was rushing inside, so Zhao Yan couldn't see his face for the time being, and then he strode over and went around to the front of the corpse to watch, only to see that the corpse's face had turned black, but his expression was very hideous, and with his body movements, Zhao Yan was sure that he was very painful before he died.
At that moment, Zhao Yan took a serious look at the appearance of this dead corpse, after all, he hadn't seen him for more than ten years, and the other party had been dead for several days, and his appearance had changed greatly, but Zhao Yan looked at it for a while and quickly determined that it was Li Liangzuo's corpse in front of him, especially when he broke the right hand of the corpse and looked at it, he saw the scars on the palm, which proved the identity of the other party, the scar on the palm was when Zhao Yan escorted Li Liangzuo back to Beijing, he killed his wife Empress Liang with a porcelain piece on the way, However, at that time, Li Liangzuo's palm was also injured a lot, which left these scars.
"Third uncle, is this person Li Liangzuo?" At this time, Zhao Xu leaned to Zhao Yan's side with some cringe, and hurriedly turned to the side after only glancing at the corpse, looking a little funny, but it was not bad to have such courage at his age.
"Yes, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and I wanted to chat with him for a few words, but I didn't expect him to die here suddenly." Zhao Yan stood up and clapped his hands at this time, compared to more than ten years ago, Li Liangzuo in front of him was also much older, his face was full of wrinkles, and his beard was also messy, it seemed that these years of imprisonment were also a great torture for him.
"Your Highness, I have checked inside and out just now, and I have not found any traces of outsiders appearing here, and judging from the expression of Xirong Gong, it seems that he died of some sudden illness, and his body has not been moved!" At this time, Wang Chao also came over, stretched out his hand and opened Li Liangzuo's clothes, and he could see that the ground side of the corpse was full of corpse spots, proving that the corpse had not been moved.
Seeing the actions of the dynasty, Zhao Yan didn't feel anything, but Zhao Xu saw the dark black markings on the corpse, and smelled the stench emitted by the corpse in his nose, which made him a little disgusted, especially his rich imagination, and then suddenly thought of the sour meat bun he ate at noon today, which seemed to have spoiled the meat, which seemed to be somewhat similar to the stinky corpse in front of him, which made him feel a tumbling in his stomach, and almost vomited on the spot.
Zhao Xu is young and has strong self-esteem, and he doesn't want to lose face in front of so many people, especially he doesn't want the third uncle Zhao Yan to see jokes, so it's best not to endure the feeling of vomiting back. But at this moment, he saw a scene of some madness, only to see that after Wang Chao checked the corpse, he washed his hands in the water tank next to him, and then took out a sour meat bun from his arms, and then ate it in a big gulp.
Originally, the actions of the dynasty were nothing in his opinion, after all, he was a head catcher, Tokyo City is so big, there are often murder cases, and he has a lot of cases at hand, he can't even eat when he is busy, and sometimes he eats something casually at the murder scene when he is hungry, so it is not a little difficult for him to eat buns after examining the corpse.
However, the dynasty's actions fell in Zhao Xu's eyes, but it was a great stimulus, especially the smell of sour meat buns, and at this time, mixed with the smell of corpses, rushed into his nose, and as a result, Zhao Xu was disgusted anymore, and opened his mouth with a "wow" sound, squirting out all the things in his stomach.
Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Xu, who was spitting up, and then looked at Wang Chao, who was a little overwhelmed with a bun, and couldn't help laughing at the moment: "Dynasty, your taste is strong enough, it is estimated that my student will never eat sour meat buns again in his life." ”
"Hehe, I'm used to it, I didn't expect it to be disgusting to the little boy!" Wang Chao was also a little embarrassed at this time, but after finishing speaking, he didn't waste the uneaten buns in his hand, he directly stuffed them into his mouth in three or two bites, chewed a few bites and swallowed them, but at this time, Zhao Xu just looked up and saw that he vomited even more.
Finally waited until Zhao Xu finished vomiting, and then the work finally arrived, the work of the Great Song Dynasty was already regarded as a formal official in the yamen, and it was already very professional, for example, this old man who came today actually brought a lot of special tools, many of which looked a bit like the surgical tools of later generations, and were estimated to be used for dissection.
Originally, Zhao Yan wanted to see how Da Song's work worked, but considering Zhao Xu's ability to bear it, he had to take him out of the kitchen, leaving Wang Chao and Lao Zuo to examine the body, hoping to find the cause of Li Liangzuo's death. And Zhao Xu breathed fresh breath after leaving the kitchen, and at this time, Zhao Yan's guards also brought tea for him to rinse his mouth, which made Zhao Xu feel a lot better.
Zhao Yan didn't wait outside the kitchen, but turned around and came to the place where Li Liangzuo lived, the demented old servant had been taken away, but it was estimated that he couldn't ask anything. Zhao Yan first went into the room to take a look, and found that the place where Li Liangzuo lived was also very simple, except for a bed in the bedroom, there were no other things, as for the bookshelves in the outer room, there was a thick layer of dust on it, it is estimated that he had not seen it at all, and no one usually cleaned it.
Zhao Yan stood in the room for a while, thinking back to his previous experience of attacking Western Xia, and then Zhao Xu also followed, but his face was still a little pale, which made Zhao Yan smile and said, "Xu'er, did a corpse scare you like this?" ”
"I ...... I'm not scared, I'm just feeling a little nauseous! Zhao Xu heard Zhao Yan's words, but he defended himself.
"Hehe, whether it's disgusting or scared, you're still young, and it's normal to have these reactions." In order to avoid leaving any shadow in Zhao Xu's heart, Zhao Yan smiled at this time to help him explain, but then he smiled slightly and said, "Li Liangzuo, you have already seen it, although it is only a corpse, but do you have any feelings?"
