Gu Yanzhang stood more than twenty steps away from the coffin, naturally he couldn't see the situation in the coffin, he could only smell the burning smell of Su and wormwood, calamus and atractylodes and other defilement herbs wafting in the wind, and the stronger the smell, the more obscure the corpse qi completely overshadowed the corpse.

The four servants only waited for a while, and when the filth gradually dissipated, they moved forward together, bowing their heads and inspecting.

In addition to the people who were in charge of the Yamen, there were also the neighbors on the left side of Junyi Bridge Street in Baokangmen, and there were two other old people on the street, the older the people, the more courageous they became, and the more curious they were.

Li Chengwei stood aside alone, with no expression on his face.

Soon, a servant walked away, called a servant, and explained to him.

The people could not hear the words, nor could they see what was in the coffin, and everyone's hearts were like cat scratches.

After a short time, the official took a few people and brought out a few pots of hot vinegar wine and warm water from the carriage, as well as charcoal basins, cloth and other things.

The bones were removed.

At this time, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, even if it was far away, but the scorching sun was like fire, and the seeds and seed hair on the dog's tail grass that was shaking in front of the grave were also reflected in the slightest, not to mention the bones.

Under the scorching sun, the bones were black and heavy, as if they had accumulated decades of old dirt.

This time, even the neighbors in the market who didn't know much about the inquest of the corpse couldn't help but boo each other and whispered to each other.

Are the bones really poisoned? This is the neighborhood of Junyi Bridge Street.

Strange Dao never heard that Xu had any pain, and suddenly he got a sudden illness that day, and said that it was not good to stop the mortuary in summer, and the coffin was full of ice, and when the coffin was sealed, it was full of moisture, and I couldn't see anything clearly, this is a mouthy neighborhood.

This is the usual method of the surname Li, one of you is old, your brain is not good at all, and there are also people who are not in our place, who have never known anything, and the mother in the past, didn't she also get sick? This is the old man in the Bowham.

The louder and louder the voices of the crowd became, but Li Chengwei did not see the slightest panic, only Xu Liang's face changed greatly, and he raised his fist to smash at Li Chengwei, and scolded in his mouth: Traitor, you return my sister's life!

Fortunately, there were many officials standing around, and they hurriedly pulled people back.

Li Chengwei saw that the official was on the side, and saw that Xu Liang was pulled firmly, for a while, he couldn't rush over, and then again, the deputy envoy of the Kyoto Prefecture and the Criminal Department was here, and no one dared to ask him to hurt himself.

He swept over at a glance, and he had seen all the situation clearly, but he didn't avoid it, but took two steps forward, and replied to Xu Liang: Big brother, you have not had a good time over the years, and there are many things at home, my mother is thoughtful, and she refuses to ask me to help.

His face was a little sad, and in his tone, it was ten percent sincere, and he swept away, and saw that everyone everywhere was looking over, all pretending not to care, but everyone was secretly listening.

Li Chengwei is such a smart person, his mind is high, his reaction is fast, and he is agile, not to mention, it is not too much to praise him for having the eloquence of Zhang Yi and Su Qin, at this time he was forced to go to the grave in person, although he knew that the situation was very bad, but he did not have the slightest fear, frank, and said: However, Sanniang was sick and died, this is not a lie, why should I do this lie? After she passed away, I was very sad, as the saying goes, clothes are not as good as new, people are not as good as old, I am a good and decent couple, she went first, how can I have any benefit?!

She went early, leaving me alone and a daughter, how can I be inseparable, I have to pull my daughter to live to this day, although I don't worry about eating and drinking, but the pain in my heart, who knows?

I lost my mother when I was young, then my father, and my wife in middle age, and I am getting old at this time, and I lost my daughter again, so sad, so sad, big brother, although the two of us are not related, but there are three mothers in the middle, and there are Li Niang, in fact, what is the difference with the family? Where do you go to hear the demagogy of others, I'm afraid that it doesn't want to mess up my two families, you used to call me a brother-in-law, why did you want to stick a knife in my heart, and your own family harmed your own family?

Speaking of this, Li Chengwei's eyes were red, and even tears were about to fall.

He raised his hand, didn't use a handkerchief, only wiped his tears with his sleeve, almost choked a little, and said: I have arrived today, I still put your sister first in my heart, she is my wife, I have been filial piety for her for three years, and then I went to renew the string, you said that I killed her, how can I say this? I know what Sanniang is like in her heart, and she knows how to sympathize with my pain, if she hears you slander and talk nonsense under Jiuquan, even if you are her own brother, she will not blame you, but she must be very sad in her heart!

Although Li Chengwei is not young, he is still full of energy, he has always maintained it well, at this time, the words are reasonable, layer by layer, and full of emotion, which is sour, so that the people present listened, and all of them were sour in their hearts.

Some people couldn't help but whisper to the people around them: What Li Yuanwai said is not unreasonable, what good is it for him to kill the Xu family?

Humane: I'm afraid it's not a dowry?

Another person replied: It's really not a dowry, Xu Sanniang died of illness that day, I looked at the sealed coffin, and I also heard how to deal with her dowry, except for part of the funeral, the rest were all given to her and Li Yuan's family that daughter Li Niang made a dowry, that Li Liniang in addition to her mother's dowry, there is also Li Yuan's own money to dowry, the same day to marry, from the west of the city to the east of the city, ten miles of red makeup on the water, I don't know how long it took to send it away! His dowry is so rich, I went to the river today to talk for a while, find an older one to ask, I'm afraid I still remember it!

Everyone guessed around, but they couldn't guess anything, but they felt that they couldn't find the benefits of Li Chengwei's poisoning of his wife.

However, in just a few moments, after Li Chengwei finished speaking, the attitude of the people in the audience took a big turn.

The one who called him surnamed Li before, has changed back to Li Yuanwai at this time.

Xu Liang was pressed by the officials, and when he heard the other party's many words that reversed black and white, his face turned red with anger, and he was about to break free and beat Li Chengwei severely, but before he could get out, he heard a stirring not far away.

He turned his head to see a servant walking this way.

Everyone was still talking, but when they saw that they were coming, everyone shut up, and some people heard the buzzing and noisy people around them, so they kicked at each other's feet and reprimanded: What is the noise, don't make a sound!

A group of people waited and stared at the work that came over.

Deputy envoy of Tian Zhifu.

The manager walked in front of a manager joining the army, and he didn't know what he said, the manager joined the army and took him to Gu Tian and the two, saluted first, and then replied: There is a suspicion in the current inquest, I am afraid that I have to check the prescription that Xu took before his death.

Gu Yanzhang turned his head and glanced at Tian Feng, the governor of Kyoto, and bowed his hand and said: Xia Guan is ordered to accompany him, and he will not interfere in the actions of the Kyoto Prefecture, how to deal with it, and ask Tian Governor to show it.

Tian Feng saw that Gu Yanzhang still knew a little bit about advancing and retreating, his face was slightly relaxed, he knew that this case had a great impact, and he didn't call the next person to handle it, and after a while, he called Li Chengwei and Xu Liang to the front and asked Li Chengwei: Which doctor did Xu Sanniang invite before she died that day, do you remember?

In front of Tian Feng, Li Chengwei was respectful, courteous, and said with a wry smile: Back to the official, the doctor who treated the villain's inner son that day was an old doctor surnamed Zhang on Mahang Street, when he invited the house, he was already over 80 years old, and he used to come to the villain's house to see a doctor

Tian Feng was slightly stunned.

The doctor who saw the doctor that day had passed away, so naturally he couldn't ask the prescription used at that time, and even if he was still alive, he might not be able to get the details out of what happened many years ago.

He was hesitating about how to decide, but he suddenly heard Gu Yanzhang interject and ask: I don't know what disease Xu Sanniang suffered from that day?

Li Chengwei had already seen Gu Yanzhang, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad for a while, so he didn't show a smile on his face, and only replied: The doctor said that day, because he ate too many melons and fruits in summer, and his stomach was broken

He said with some self-reproach: I only want to take care of business matters, and I don't know how to pay attention to it, just think that it is an ordinary summer heat, who would have expected that in two days, her condition will become urgent, and she will go before she has time to change doctors

Li Chengwei was talking about the past in this place, Tian Feng was still asking, but Gu Yanzhang had no intention of listening again.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he took out a handkerchief, took it in his hand, and walked to the coffin without hurrying.

Gu Yanzhang was the deputy envoy who came to supervise the inquest, although it was a little inappropriate to go to the coffin in person, no one dared to stop him, and he stood next to Su Si.

He went straight to the Kyoto government office after getting off the court today, still wearing court clothes, with a bit of solemnity on his face, holding a handkerchief in one hand, but he did not cover his face and nose, but only looked down at the people to inspect the bones.

Su Si was holding a piece of patella in his hand, and he washed the bones with hot vinegar from the bottom up, and the black and blue color on the top became heavier and heavier, as if it was leaking out of the bones.

While washing, he couldn't help but peek at Gu Yanzhang on the side, and for a while he regretted that he was obsessed with yesterday's ghost, and he actually accepted Li Chengwei's silver.

Su Si was unsettled, and suddenly heard someone on the side ask: Has the skull been examined?

Su Si was stunned for a moment, and somehow, he stupidly forgot to answer.

Fortunately, another servant from the Sentencing Division replied: The skull has been examined, and there is no problem.

Gu Yanzhang nodded, watched as he gently pressed the abdomen of Xu Sanniang's corpse with his hand, and then looked through his mouth, tongue and ears, and registered them one by one.

After the three of them completed the investigation, they took out the funeral things and put them in several large basins and baskets on the side, ready to ask someone to carry them aside for Xu Liang and others to check, and they were about to make a conclusion, but they suddenly heard Gu Yanzhang ask again: Has the dung door been inspected?

All three were a little embarrassed.

Su Si was so close that he had to say: The deputy envoy didn't know that the deceased was a woman

According to the practice at this time, if the corpse is a woman, for the sake of a ritual word, and in order not to insult the deceased, he will not go to check the lower body feces and other places, nor will he take off the upper body shroud.

Gu Yanzhang shook his head and asked: The bones are blue and black, the eyes are bulging, the lips are tattered, the earlobes are swollen, the abdomen is swollen, what kind of poison is this?

Su Sidao: It is the disease of arsenic.

Gu Yanzhang said: If you use croton aconite aconitum as a medicine, it can generally make human bones black, this corpse has been in the soil for a long time, and if you don't test the dung door, how can you judge whether it is due to medicine or poison?

As soon as he spoke, the two servants in the Criminal Prosecution Division had already stepped forward honestly and were ready to start. Although Su Si was very reluctant, he had to come close to help.

The three of them took off the shroud on Xu Sanniang's body, and inspected the dung door according to the previous method.

Su Si held a handkerchief soaked with hot vinegar in his hand, and was about to wash it, but when he saw that the two of them were slow to remove their hands, he urged: Don't block it, the vinegar will be cold for a while.

One of them suddenly looked up and said: This person's dung door is not swollen

Su Si was stunned.

If it is poisoned by arsenic, the dung door will swell and bloom, but if it is not the poison of arsenic, the rest of the symptoms of the corpse are all symptoms of arsenic.

The three of them looked at each other.

They are all old men for many years, looking at the situation of Xu Sanniang's corpse, they can be identified at a glance, nine times out of ten they were poisoned by arsenic, and there is no problem when they inspect the rest of the places.

Isn't it arsenic?

You can distinguish the symptoms in the rest of the place, and there is nothing wrong!

The three of them were thinking, Su Si had a ghost in his heart, and he didn't dare to delay, so he had already taken the initiative to cut the shroud on Xu Sanniang's upper body.

A swollen abdomen with a blue and black color is a symptom of arsenic.

All the way up, the bones are also blue and black, and there is no difference.

He stretched out his hand to probe, only to feel that his hand was full of bones, hard, blue and black, and there was no problem, and he was about to turn the corpse over, but he suddenly felt that his right hand was heavy.

Su Si's heart froze, and he hurriedly turned his head to look, but it was the deputy envoy Gu who held down his arm.

Here, press your thumb once.

The faster Su Si's heart was beating, and his thumb pressed hard along Gu Yanzhang's fingers.

A slightly pointed object was buried deep in Xu Sanniang's left chest, right against his fingertips.
