Chapter 387: The Murderer
Not to mention how Xu Qingyan digested this sudden news, a few days later, a shocking thing happened in the capital thousands of miles away, which shocked the government and the opposition.
As soon as the case of Yiyong Hou Liuzi abusing and killing ploughing cattle was announced, it caused an uproar at the court meeting, and Emperor Zhou Qing was very angry, and the criminal department tried the case, but before the interrogation began, Xie Liugongzi suddenly died in prison.
The officials of the Criminal Department were shocked, they didn't use torture, how could this person die in a good manner, in order not to be said, the head of the Criminal Department had to call to do it, and borrowed the Yamen of the capital to call all the family members and related personnel of the deceased to do an autopsy on the spot.
Several people did the same test, but the final result was surprisingly consistent, because the deceased had no fatal injuries on the outside, and poisoning was ruled out, this was not homicide, and it was not suicide, and finally the workers suspected that Xie Liugongzi had some kind of sudden death caused by an old disease and a secret injury.
"Impossible, my son has always been in good health, where did the hidden illness and hidden injury come from." Mrs. Yi Yonghou retorted immediately.
Among the servants, one of the eldest stood up and said: "Shicai, we have carefully examined it, there is no fatal injury on the surface of Ling Gongzi's body, his lips are not deep, and he does not seem to be poisoned, so the problem can only lie in the internal organs, if Madame wants to find out the cause of death, we can conduct a caesarean autopsy." ”
"No, my son is dead, I can't let him go undignified" Mrs. Yi Yonghou flatly refused
"Then we can't help it." He shook his head and sighed.
The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, the wife of Yiyong Mansion Ji almost collapsed, Xie Bin was her most beloved son, her son's body was lying in front of her, but she didn't even know how he died, and she didn't know who the murderer was, she concluded that Xie Bin did not commit suicide, because Liu'er was spoiled by her on weekdays, but her temperament was the most knowledgeable about current affairs, and he had never made a life-and-death feud with anyone in the capital, so he should not provoke someone to kill him.
So, who is it, who is it that killed her son so ruthlessly?
After thinking for a moment, Ji Shi was suddenly startled and shouted: "I know, I know, my lord, I know, the murderer who killed my son is Xu Qingyan, the county lord of Le'an." “
Lord Jing Zhao Yin Liu frowned: "You can't talk nonsense, does Madam have evidence?" “
"The whiplash on my son's back is proof."
At this time, it happened that the autopsy had not yet left, and when he heard this, someone shook his head and said: "The whiplash on the back of the corpse seems to be serious, but in fact it is only a flesh injury, and the medicine is timely, which is not fatal at all." ”
"What if the murderer used another secret hand to put poison on the whip?" Ji said hatefully.
Another said: "On the surface of the corpse, there is no obvious poisoning. “
Being refuted again and again, Ji's face turned pale, and he turned to the top: "My lord, at the scene of the cattle abuse case, Xu Qingyan once said in person that she wanted my son to taste all the tastes of the cow, and now that the cow is dead, it is difficult to guarantee that this madman will not secretly poison my son." ”
For Ji's family, Xu Qingyan is not a madman, not only meddling, but also fighting Bin'er for the sake of a brute, which is really hateful.
Lord Liu had a serious face. "Ling Gongzi died suddenly in prison yesterday, and at the time of the incident, the county lord of Le'an was thousands of miles away, even if she had the heart, she was afraid that she would not be able to reach the whip, so this charge is not established."
"My lord, everyone in the world knows that Xu Qingyan has superb medical skills, if she intends to harm others, it must not be a problem to delay for a few days."
"These are your guesses, there is no evidence, and they are not clues."
"If you want evidence, you only need to summon Xu Qingyan to the court, and then she will conduct an autopsy on the spot, and she will definitely show her feet when she is weak-hearted."
"The lord of Le'an has a noble status, and without evidence, we have no right to arrest people."
Seeing that he ignored him, Ji had no choice but to turn to Lord Wan, the head of the Criminal Department on the side: "My lord, please call the shots, my son died unjustly." "Even if her son broke the law, he would not die for the crime.
The cattle abuse case is serious, in fact, there is a lot of room for maneuver, fortunately, when Xie Bin was denounced, only one cow died, the plot is not too serious, and her family waits for the master to guard the border pass, holding heavy soldiers, and the emperor has been relying on a lot recently, so he will definitely not ask for the life of Liu'er for this little thing.
It's hateful, Liu'er didn't die under the law, but died in the hands of that slut, so she has to avenge this revenge no matter what.
Lord Fang is also very embarrassed, the county lord of Le'an is not a small person in Shengdou, this is a matter without evidence, even if it is the secretary of the criminal department, he has no right to arrest people, besides, Ji's suspicion is purely vexatious, and their criminal department can't arrest people because of this.
"There is no evidence, and the official can't do anything, the county lord of Le'an has a special identity, unless the emperor decrees it, even Lord Shangshu has no right to summon him." After all, thinking of Yi Yong, Wan Daren made a timely reminder.
"Well, in that case, Mrs. Ben will go and beat the drum." Ji waved away the hand stretched out by Yahuan and walked out of the yamen with a look of forgiveness.
The sixth prince of Yiyong Houfu was killed, and the murderer was suspected to be the news of the lord of Le'an, but in half a day, he left in the capital.
When Lu Hui heard the news, the whole person was stunned, and after a long sound, Fang picked up the handkerchief in his hand and wiped his mouth and said: "Mama, you say, is this Mrs. Xie too sad and has a hypothesis, otherwise this kind of nonsense, how did she come up with it, and even want to go to the palace to beat the drum." “
"The old slave doesn't know, he only knows that as soon as this matter comes out, no matter what the matter ends up with, the county lord's murderous reputation will be passed out." Mama Liu sighed and said: "If you want to say, the county lord is too, how did this good guy get into the Yiyong Houfu, is it worth fighting with the Houfu for a brute?" “
"It's worth it, isn't the county lord such a character, otherwise he wouldn't have saved me and Nan'er, this sincere heart is very rare, I appreciate it."
"Appreciation is appreciation, but we can't interfere in this matter after all, and we can't interfere." Mama Liu persuaded: "I heard that the one in the West Courtyard is about to give birth, and the waiting master will accompany her every day, if she is allowed to become a man in one fell swoop, I am afraid that our Nan brother's status will not be guaranteed, and Mrs. will have to make plans for this matter." ”
Lu Hui smiled contemptuously: "Don't worry, she can't give birth to a son." “
"Well, how does Madame know ........" Mama Liu asked.
Lu Hui beckoned, and Mama Liu whispered, "What the county lord said." “
"What, really!" Mama Liu is overjoyed.
"Hmm." Lu Hui nodded: "Last time I was leaving, the county lord said it." “
"Thank God, it's really a bodhisattva blessing, since the county lord said so, then this matter must not have run away, the one in the West Courtyard finally has something to overpower you, you have to strike while the iron is hot, and find an opportunity to win the heart of the waiting master."
Speaking of this, Lu Hui was not interested, waved his hand and said: "This matter will be mentioned in the future, the top priority is to write a letter to tell the county lord about the news here, especially some of the situation in Yiyong Houfu, the county lord is not familiar with the capital, and our letter may be of great help." ”
