Text Chapter 151
Xiao He was about to turn around and go out, but as soon as he turned his head, the door slammed shut in front of his eyes.
She didn't even see how Xiao Shi made a move, she couldn't help but be stunned, her body tensed, "What are you going to do?" As soon as the voice came out, it sounded a little unfamiliar. It turned out that she couldn't help but forget to cover it up and lower her voice, which was completely a woman's questioning with a little shyness.
Xiao Shi was silent, only the sound of breathing, and they fell together.
After a few moments, he reached over her shoulder, opened the door for her, and whispered, "This door is broken. Be careful. When Xiao He heard this, a smile inadvertently slipped across the corners of his lips.
After she walked out of the door, she heard him say, "I'll go to the Jingzhao Mansion prison tonight, can we go together?" ”
"Okay." Although Xiao He didn't look back, he agreed, "Call me before you go." ”
He looked at her back and walked away, his face was so hot, how could he be so out of control, he had almost forgotten this feeling of being a little dizzy and a little disturbing for many years.
Before the second watch, he stood under Xiao He's window in a night suit and tapped the window frame three times.
The people inside also seemed to be ready, and they opened the door and came out. They easily entered Jingzhao Mansion as if they were exploring their own backyard. Xiao He said: "I'll go to the dungeon to find Imperial Doctor Xue and ask about the details of the day, you go to find the case file and documents, and see how many they asked?" ”
Xiao Shi bowed slightly, turned around and went in the direction of the library, and his figure disappeared into the night in a flash, and he couldn't see clearly.
Xiao He recast his technique to enchant the guards and went straight down to the dungeon. After finding the room where Xue Liangan was being held, he called him softly through the cell door.
Xue Liangan, who was on the straw pile, heard the sound, and at first thought it was his own dream, but gradually the sound became more and more real and clear, and he suddenly got up, slowly turned his head, and saw Xiao He dressed in a night walking suit, outside the railing.
"My lord......" Xue Liangan was surprised and delighted, "how did you get here?" ”
"Gong Pei has been torn apart, and he pays the price for what he has done." Xiao He's voice was calm and said lightly.
The expression on Xue Liangan's face was even more shocked, "He ......"
Xiao He didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point, "I won't let go of any of the people who framed you that day." But there is other evidence in this case, and I want you to tell me more about the cause and effect. So I know how to take the next step. ”
Xue Liang felt relieved that Xiao He was so willing to run for himself, and he also knew that time was pressing, after all, it was not easy to stay here for a long time, so he no longer sighed for a long time, just recalled the previous events, and told Xiao He everything in 1510.
It turned out that Concubine Shu had a serious illness in the palace, and she was cured by Xue Liang'an after taking care of her for two months. But in the end, for some reason, she couldn't persevere. Originally, according to Xue Liangan's estimate, although her body was dragged down by the disease and weaker, as long as she was well conditioned, she still had a chance to recover. When Concubine Shu died, it happened not to be Xue Liang'an on duty, and later he checked the records, it was Gong Pei who saw her that day, and the diagnosis was violent disease, and the medicine stone did not work, and she died a moment after being summoned.
At that time, he did not expect this to happen, but it was recorded in the medical books that occasionally patients would die in a short period of time due to other complications.
It's just that Mu Churan was not in the palace at that time, and the queen mother presided over the funeral affairs of the concubine, but said that the concubine was not virtuous to the first emperor during her lifetime, and it was not suitable to do a lot of future affairs, so she was hurriedly sent out of the palace and hastily buried in the imperial mausoleum.
He didn't think much about this matter at the time, until that day in the Chaolu Palace, when Gong Pei and several palace people in the palace of Concubine Shu testified that he was treating Concubine Shu, but in fact poisoned and murdered the concubine. He suddenly realized that he had been tricked by someone at that time.
The person who is scheming to get rid of himself, Gong Pei is counted as one.
His jealous temperament made Xue Liangan have already been taught, and he also had a dispute with him in the imperial medical center. But if it was just him, it would not have been possible to cause such an incident. The Queen Mother may also be one of the driving forces behind the scenes.
As for whether Concubine Shu was really poisoned, causing a sudden violent illness, I am afraid that she can only perform an autopsy at this time.
Although Xue Liangan thought of this, he was also worried that he would be bought and would do something about the autopsy. Xiao He relieved him, "If it is according to them, what is the difference between a person who has been poisoned for a long time and a person who has been poisoned once, after death?" ”
"After being poisoned for a long time, the body has already been attacked by toxins, and the whole body will turn blue after death, no matter where you use a silver needle to probe, there will be signs of poisoning, just because the toxin has already integrated into the bones and blood of the whole body. And a person who has been poisoned once can only poke out the signs of poisoning in the throat and abdomen, but the limbs are as usual. The color of the corpse will also be mottled, and the blood will only run unevenly, and the blood of the human body will stop flowing after sudden death, causing the poisonous blood to coagulate somewhere. ”
Xiao He understood immediately, and it seemed that the difference between the two could be measured just by looking at it.
At this time, Xiao Shi had returned and reminded Xiao He at the door of the prison.
She glanced at it, and had made up her mind in her heart, so she said to Xue Liangan: "Wait for my good news." ”
Xue Liangan knew that she was going to take danger again, and she couldn't do anything at this time, so she was a little helpless, grabbed her hands on the prison door, and shouted at Xiao He's back: "My lord! Be careful! ”
Xiao He looked back and smiled, and disappeared at the corner staircase with Xiao Shi.
On the way, Xiao Shi asked her, "Do you have other plans to go home at this time?" I have transcribed a copy of the record of the case and related documents. Xiao He looked at him, "Go to the imperial tomb." ”
When the two of them arrived at the Imperial Tomb, it was just before dawn, when the darkness of the long night was the same.
The imperial mausoleum was not strictly guarded, and the murder of Concubine Shu was thoroughly investigated before, and the coffin of the concubine was placed elsewhere, which was the last place where the royal family was buried before being buried. A circle of purple bamboos is planted around this place, and from the perspective of feng shui, it solidifies qi and nourishes yin. When people stand here, they don't feel a chill.
Xiao He didn't stop, and after entering, he went straight to the coffin that stopped in the main hall.
The carved golden silk nanmu coffin is not too mean. It's just that this concubine was even made a fuss about her posthumous affairs and used as a tool to fight against differences, which is really pitiful. Xiao He took advantage of the faint light of the permanent lights in the hall to see that the iron nails on the coffin had traces of being pulled out, and it seemed that someone had indeed come to perform an autopsy before.
She glanced at Xiao Shi, "Open the coffin with me." ”
Xiao Shi didn't seem surprised by her bold behavior, just reminded her to wrap up in a veil.
The two worked together to move the coffin lid one foot away, Xiao He didn't think it was enough, and pushed the coffin lid on the side of the coffin head three inches diagonally. Xiao Shi lit a fire fold and handed it to her so that she could see it clearly.
The smell of the corpses in the coffin was unstoppable by a thin masked towel.
Xiao He could only turn his head to avoid it first, then block his mouth and nose with his arm, raise the fire fold, and probe it to check. This corpse did not show that the whole body was blue, and this alone can prove that Xue Liangan did not poison and murder the concubine for a long time. But why not mention it?
Suddenly, Xiao He took a closer look, the appearance and costume of this female corpse, although the clothes were gorgeous, but it was not a concubine's costume at all, and she was slightly younger, the concubine was already in her forties before her death, and this female corpse was only sixteen or seven years old at most.
"The body has been replaced!" Xiao He said to Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi was also stunned, approached and looked carefully, and also found the same suspicions as Xiao He's found.
"Let's go!" She whispered.
The body of the concubine in the imperial tomb was stolen and replaced, if Mu Churan knew about it, how many people would be unlucky. She thought it was a little funny. When I left the Imperial Mausoleum, the sky was already white.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, they took off their night clothes before returning and returned home in their regular clothes.
Although it was early at this time, there were still some pedestrians on the road.
Probably found some new clues, Xiao He was in a good mood, and his steps were brisker. Xiao Shi followed her, unhurried. When the two returned to the Xiao Mansion, it was already dawn. Gou Zi, who opened the door, was a little strange to see Xiao He and Xiao Shi coming back from outside so early in the morning, but he was just a little curious. According to his experience, it is better not to inquire about the affairs of the master's family.
After returning to the house, Xiao He first asked for the document that Xiao Shi had copied. Xiao Shi shook his head, "I can't give it to you yet, I'll show it to you when I write the original text." Xiao He was puzzled, "What?" She laughed, "I'm not going to make fun of you." ”
Xiao Shi simply took out the piece of paper in his arms and showed it to her.
It was full of ghostly symbols, and she couldn't understand it, "This is?" ”
"Copying so many words in a short period of time is naturally not enough, and this special mark is used to quickly record the text. Only I know what each symbol means. So at this time, I showed you, and you don't understand either. Xiao Shi explained, and put the paper back.
After a stick of incense, Xiao Shi translated the original text.
Xiao He saw Xiao Shi's words for the first time. The pen is elegant, handsome, and free and wild, she really didn't expect his calligraphy to be really good, although it is not an imitation of the master's handwriting, but it is also self-contained, quite distinctive.
"I didn't expect the killer of Qinglong Hall to have to take a calligraphy class?" She couldn't help but tease.
Xiao Shi raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly, "That was practiced before becoming a killer." ”
Xiao He heard him talk about what happened before he became a killer for the first time, and he was a little more curious, and asked, "What did you do before that, why did you want to be a killer?" Xiao Shi lowered his head and replied lightly: "I forgot." ”
Seeing him like this, Xiao He stopped asking. Everyone has some secrets that they don't want to be discovered, and don't do to others what they don't want to be done. She knew when she had to stop, but she genuinely wanted to know more about him.
For a moment, her thoughts were fluttering, remembering the picture of the jade-faced Rakshasa and him being both in the Qinglong Hall, and the two were intimate. The jade-faced rakshasa must know a lot of things that Xiao Shi didn't know. Her hand holding the piece of paper subconsciously exerted a slight force, and she didn't even notice that the paper in her palm was pinched and a little wrinkled.
