"Records of Clearing Grievances" once wrote: The autopsy and bone injuries, no traces appeared, the corpse was splashed with dregs (sake lees) and vinegar, and the place where it was wanted to be seen with a new oil silk or clear oil umbrella was covered in the open air. If it rains, use hot charcoal to isolate it. This is also a good law."

"What do you mean?" Gu Yunfei looked at Gu Changfeng, and seeing that Gu Changfeng was silent, he came to Yan Suwen's side again.

"You'll find out later." Yan Suwen rolled up his sleeves: "You first prepare things for me according to what is written on my list." ”

"Boning knife, red oil umbrella, sake lees, vinegar?" Gu Yunfei looked down one by one: "Madam, this is ......"

Yan Suwen glanced at Gu Yunfei, Gu Yunfei hurriedly stopped, and took Zuo Zongquan to prepare together. In Yizhuang, there was silence, except for the two corpses, only Yan Suwen and Gu Changfeng were left.

Gu Changfeng looked at Yan Suwen's raised sleeves and asked, "What do you need me to do?" ”

"Huh?" Yan Suwen turned to look at her newlywed husband, and there was a feeling that the more she looked at it, the more handsome she looked, and the more she looked at it, the more pleasing it became. Well, this kind of handsome and noble husband is still watching from the sidelines.

"It's good for adults to watch from the sidelines."

"Is it up to you, or is it up to her?"

"Of course it's ......" should have blurted out, but I choked up halfway through.

It is obviously a little inappropriate for the dignified Prime Minister to look at a Wei Yuanyuan who has been dead for a long time. But if you answer directly, let him look at himself, isn't it a little too strange.

"That ......" cleared his throat: "Adults' eyes, adults make their own decisions." ”

"Then I'll just look at Madame." Gu Changfeng said lightly, a pair of eyes moved from her high-rolled cuffs to her slightly flushed face: "Only this once, in the future, I will try to let you be less exposed to these miscellaneous things." A woman's body can only be seen by her own husband. ”

Yan Su asked and looked at the two arms he exposed, and asked blankly, "This is also counted?" ”

Gu Changfeng didn't answer, but his eyes already said everything.

Yan Suwen let out a sigh of relief, and missed more and more the days when he could show his arms and legs wantonly in his previous life.

Gu Yunfei came back soon, and really found a boning knife for Yan Suwen, with a few fresh pig hairs on the handle.

"This knife ......"

"The fastest boning knife in Yecheng." Gu Yunfei was a little proud: "I used a lot of methods before he agreed to sell this knife to me." ”

"Bought?"

"Or else? Could it be that the lady still thinks of using this knife to remove the bones of this dead man and then let her subordinates return them, and continue to let the butcher kill pigs and sell meat? ”

Yan Suwen looked at the knife in his hand and shook his head.

I have to admit that Gu Yunfei thinks about things much more thoughtfully than she, the newly appointed prime minister's wife.

"Taught by the master. Officials don't fight with the people, let alone rob with the people, of course, we can't take the things of the people's family just because we have a little identity. Otherwise, what difference is there from the robbers who get in the way. ”

"Well, you learned well, and my adults taught better."

is obviously praising Gu Yunfei, but in fact he is praising his newlywed husband. Gu Changfeng received this information, and there was a bit of joy in his eyes.

Wei Yuan's body has begun to decompose, and most of the carrion on his body can fall off as long as he touches it lightly, but some human tissues must be used with the help of tools. At first, Yan Suwen planned to use a boning knife to remove the carrion little by little, but when she was ready to do it, she hesitated again. The boning knife is sharp, and it can naturally be removed from the flesh, but she is a human being, no matter how careful she is, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no mistakes. She had to examine the bone, and if the boning knife had left new scratches on the surface of the bone, she would have to spend more time analyzing and identifying whether the scratches were from before or after, whether they were left by her or from before by Ha Po.

Thinking of this, she put down the boning knife and pulled out a small bottle from her small medicine box. That small bottle, Gu Changfeng felt familiar, and in his memory, it seemed to be used to melt bones and eliminate corpses.

"This?"

"It's the bone water I figured out by myself." Yan Suwen shook the bottle, "Yunfei, bring a basin of water." ”

"Madame is going to melt this Wei Xuan?"

"What else will I test if I melt!" Yan Suwen glared at Gu Yunfei: "Waiting for the carrion on her body to fall off on its own, it will take at least a few months, the time is too tight, we can't wait." With that boning knife, it is still two words whether it is clean or not, the key is that such a sharp knife edge will definitely leave new marks on the bones, and I am too lazy to take the time to identify. I want to think about it, but this is the only way. ”

"Madame, do you think it's reliable?"

"Why don't I try you first?" Yan Suwen shook the bottle at Gu Yunfei.

"It's not worth the lady's waste." Gu Yunfei took two steps back and grinned, "I'll fetch water for Madame." ”

The bone water was diluted exponentially, and then scooped out with porcelain, and poured on Wei Yuan's corpse little by little, only to hear a "bang" sound, and the carrion had turned into thick water at a speed visible to the naked eye, dripping to the ground. The smell in Yizhuang is getting worse and worse.

Two hours later......

"Your Excellency, you see, these scars are all caused by being beaten before death." Yan Suwen held a red oil umbrella in one hand and pointed to Wei Yuan's shoulder blade with the other, "Here, and here, they were all left by the beating before his death." Being able to leave such a deep mark on the bones shows that those who did it were very fierce. In addition, Wei Yuan's two arm bones and leg bones were blood-stained, and there were also subtle cracks on the bones. This Wei Yuan, when he was alive, suffered a lot of sins. ”

"Is it Granny He, or is it He Sheng?" Gu Yunfei asked curiously: "Or maybe it's the husband of Wei Yuanyuan, the one surnamed Wang." I remember Master Zuo said that Wei Yuanyuan disappeared on the way to visit her husband, whether it was because her husband often beat her, so she ran away, and later met He Sheng, so she married He Sheng. ”

"What the truth is, I have to find out what Lord Zuo has." Yan Suwen turned his gaze to Zuo Zongquan.

"Madame, don't worry, the lower officials will definitely find out."

"Which one does Madame prefer?" According to Gu Changfeng's understanding of Yan Suwen, she must already have her own answer in her heart.

"It's not Wang Youcai, nor Granny He and He Sheng, but it must be involved with Granny He."

"Why?"

"Lord Zuo said that this Wang Youcai and Wei Yuanyuan are the same Zhuangzi. Since it is from the same Zhuangzi, it is impossible not to know the roots, if this Wang Youcai is really a tyrannical person who will beat his wife, Wei Yuan's father and mother will definitely not agree to marry their daughter to their Wang family. Of course, we can't rule out that this Wang Youcai is a wolf in sheep's clothing, who looks like a human during the day, and at night, he reveals his true appearance. But the same Zhuangzi, Wei Yuanyuan has been wronged, and he will definitely not endure it, and even if he forbears, it is impossible to visit Wang Youcai from time to time after he came to Yecheng to make a living. In short, I don't think it was Wang Youcai who beat Wei Yuanyuan. ”

"He Sheng, why was you excluded?"

Judging from the descriptions of Li Erxing and Lord Zuo, this He Sheng seems to be a very withdrawn person. Granny He, we have all met, is a very strong old woman. Mothers with strong personalities usually only teach children with two personalities, one is exactly the same as themselves, and the other is cowardice and dependence under strong suppression.

From Granny Ho's account of her son, I am more inclined to the latter. This He Sheng is actually a cowardly, withdrawn, and very dependent on Granny He, who is not big, but a very filial child. Such people usually only listen to their mothers, and will not make their own decisions. Not being able to make up his own mind does not mean that he has no sense of right and wrong, nor does it mean that he will be like his mother, a bad person with no conscience and only for profit. ”

"Bad guys?"

"Granny He has been lonely all her life, she was widowed at a young age, and she relied on her thin body to pull He Sheng up. In the eyes of outsiders, they may only think that it is not easy for Granny He, but only women know how difficult it is for their orphans and widows to survive in this Yecheng. The things in the coffin belong to Granny He, she should be a link in the chain of interests of that mysterious organization, and it is also a very critical link. It's a pity that she died, and we can't ask about many important things. ”

"Wei curls ......"

"Wei Yuanyu should have just been an accident." Yan Suwen stared at Wei Yuan's foot bones: "To be honest, I don't want the truth to be as I guessed, if that's the case, Wei Yuanxuan will be too miserable." ”

No one thought that Wei Yuanyuan's husband, Wang Youcai, the only one in Wangjiazhuang who escaped the flood, would come to the door by himself. is different from the imaginary peasant man, Wang Youcai in front of him, dressed in rags, and holding a broken bowl for begging in his hand. He holds a bamboo cane in his right hand, and when he stands, his body habitually leans to the right, and his left foot is tilted unnaturally.

"Your legs ......"

"Lame." When Wang Youcai replied, there was no expression on his face, and even his eyes were straight.

"Crippled?"

"Yes."

"Who was crippled?"

"I don't know."

"The one who beat you, but the one who robbed your lady?"

"I'm not sure, but I guess it's them."

"How did you meet whom?"

"They came to me." Wang Youcai lowered his head: "They knew that I was looking for my lady everywhere, so they found the place where I worked." They took one of my lady's things and told me to go with them. When I went, they beat me, but unfortunately they didn't kill me. ”

"Do you know what happened to your lady?"

"When they beat me, I didn't know it, but then I did." Wang Youcai raised his head: "They thought I was dead, so they were talking next to me, I heard some intermittently, and I heard some more over the years, and I probably know what was going on." ”
