Elevate again.

The imperial grandson Zhengse asked: "Hua Qiao, you re-autopsy, can you find anything?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, today's autopsy found that the deceased Guo Qingchen was poisoned to death because he was filled with a large amount of mercury from the lower part. This is consistent with the suspicious records left behind by the preliminary post-mortem at that time. Hua Qiao further explained:

At that time, it was found that the body had red spots on the hands and face, which was a reaction to mercury poisoning. As for the fact that there is a small amount of sediment in the mouth and ears of the corpse, it does not prove that it drowned, and the body is thrown after death, and the sediment in the river water will also rush into the mouth and ears with the current, causing stagnation. Therefore, the folk girl judged that the deceased Guo Qingchen was first poisoned by mercury, and then thrown into the river, disguised as self-drowning. ”

"Guo and Xiao are both poisoned by mercury, Du Ruhai, you still can't remember the extra two bottles of mercury, where did they go?"

Du Ruhai kowtowed and said: "It's not that the villain can't think of it, it's that the villain doesn't dare to say it!" A month ago, my family was working in the Chenghuang Temple, Zhao Xifeng and Zhao Gongzi passed by the temple, came in and saw the mercury material we put next to it, saying that it was interesting, and we had to take away two bottles. We can't stop it, it's just attrition.

A few days ago, I learned that a male corpse was found in the barren mountain, which died of mercury poisoning, and the grass people thought of the mercury we were taken away by Zhao Gongzi, and they were afraid that they would cause trouble, and they were afraid that Zhao Gongzi would kill us. Didn't expect ......"

Du Jianping, who was standing outside the lobby and was stretching his neck to listen to the trial, immediately remembered the alteration pointed out by Hua Qiao in his account book: My father is confused! Isn't this an attempt to cover up? Could it be buckwheat...... She's here to check the accounts?

"Zhao Xifeng?"

Hu Yanjin also stepped forward and said:

"The villain was ordered to search Guo's mansion and found traces of mercury on the ground in the deceased Guo Qingchen's room, which is suspected to be the scene of the crime. Li Pozi, the steward of Guo Mansion, and Wang Dalang, a pancake stall outside Guo's Mansion, can all testify that on the day of the incident, there were suspicious people in Guo Mansion, and they were all related to the deceased Guo Qingchen. Among them, there is this Zhao Xifeng. ”

"Bring someone to witness Li and Wang Dalang!"

Mrs. Li collapsed to the ground outside the lobby, and was dragged up to the hall by the officials, and when she came in, she saw Master Guo kneeling on the ground sifting chaff, he couldn't protect himself, where could he take care of himself?

"Li, Wang Dalang, have you ever seen this male corpse on the ground?" The imperial grandson stared at them and asked.

Both of them glanced at it, Wang Dalang thought about it, and said first: "The grass people have seen it." Six days ago, the grass people were selling baked cakes opposite the gate of Guo's mansion as usual, and saw the person on the ground enter Guo's mansion, and after about half an hour, Zhao Gongzi and his entourage also entered Guo's mansion. ”

The imperial grandson asked, "How many days ago, why do you remember it so clearly?" ”

Wang Dalang smiled: "My lord, my wife is in charge of money, and she counts the baked cakes she sells every day." I was beaten by my wife for the first two days, and the last two days were painful, and the last two days were painful, and the hands were held down for these two days, so the number of days remembered, no more, no less, exactly six days. ”

The first time she saw that after being beaten, she said the pain so freshly and refinedly, Hua Qiao couldn't help but bow her head and smile.

The imperial grandson didn't smile, he moved his gaze to Mrs. Li's face, and asked, "Li, you are the manager of the inner courtyard of the Guo Mansion, have you ever seen this person on the ground?" ”

The two ingots of silver obtained by Mrs. Li have been searched out of the box by Hu Yanjin today, and they have also confessed in Guo's mansion, and there is nothing to deny now. She replied tremblingly, "If you go back to your lordship, I ...... I recognize him as the eldest girl's son Xiao who has been married since childhood...... Six days ago, I went to the house to find the old man......"

"How do you remember it was six days ago? He went to the house to find Guo Cheng, what happened? The imperial grandson continued to ask.

"Because...... I have kept the spirit for six days, and tomorrow will be the seventh day of the girl's head...... So remember. That day, Xiao Gongzi came to Guo's mansion to find the old man's theory, saying that he had not divorced the girl, why did he want to let the girl be allowed to ...... others" Li Pozi said.

"In other words, on the day Miss Guo died, you saw the deceased Xiao Jiuru arrive at Guo's mansion and have an argument with Guo Cheng? What else happened to them after that? ”

"After that, the lord called Zhao Gongzi here, and then they closed the door in the house, and then the lord asked me to drive everyone back to the house and not be allowed to come out, I didn't see anything, Lord Qingtian! It is...... Before Zhao Gongzi left, his attendant Zhao Er stuffed me with two ingots of silver and told me to buy some sulfur powder and clean up the mercury that fell on the ground.

There was already sulfur powder in our house, which was used to prevent snakes and insects in the spring, and I didn't use the two ingots of silver, but I have asked a little official to search for them today. Lord Qingtian, I really don't know anything! Mrs. Li cried and grabbed the ground, as if she had been greatly wronged.

"Guo Cheng, you won't say that you don't know anything about your house, right? The deceased is your biological daughter, and you don't have any father-daughter affection, not only do you see your daughter die in vain, but you also have to hide it for the murderer. Or...... You're the murderer! The imperial grandson shouted.

Guo Cheng knelt on the ground, supported the ground with both hands, kowtowed his head on the ground, and burst into tears: "Qingchen, Daddy shouldn't push you away!" His Royal Highness, Xiao Gongzi did go to me to theorize that day, blaming me for not marrying my daughter to Zhao Gongzi, and saying that he would go to the yamen to sue me.

I brought Zhao Gongzi in desperation, but I didn't expect that not only Xiao Gongzi would not back down at all, but even my daughter resolutely refused to marry Zhao Gongzi. My daughter came to beg me, and I persuaded her to obey Zhao Gongzi, but she held Xiao Gongzi and refused to let go. Zhao Gongzi may have been stimulated, annoyed and angry, and said that he would ...... on the spot Done my daughter.

I stepped forward to dissuade me, but Zhao Gongzi thought I was in the way, so he pushed me out of the door. I was afraid that the ugliness of the family would be publicized, and I would disperse the people in the house, thinking that if my daughter obeyed Zhao Gongzi, Xiao Gongzi would also die. Unexpectedly, when I went in again, the two of them were already ...... Die on the spot! Zhao Gongzi gave me a large sum of silver, and I thought that people could not be resurrected after death, so I had to do things hastily......"

The imperial grandson sneered:

"That's how you are a parent? His daughter's life is like a mustard, and she is bent on earning more family business for her son, right? Aren't you afraid that your daughter will come back to you in the middle of the night to ask for her life? Pity your daughter and Xiao Gongzi are infatuated, but in their own home, they were sent to the ghost gate by their own father. ”

Hua Qiao, who was standing next to her, clenched her fists, and at this time, in her palm, it was the pair of earrings engraved with the words "Ru" and "Chen". The truth of the case was revealed, but Hua Qiao's heart couldn't be relaxed, sympathizing with the pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, and hating Zhao Xifeng who bullied others and did evil.

I only listened to the emperor's grandson in the hall:

"Take Zhao Xifeng!"
