Early the next morning, King Sheng sat with his back to the window, and the bowl of white jade-like bean curd in front of him stared for a while but never moved.

It wasn't until Ali walked briskly from outside the house to the table that Wei Chuyin shook his head.

He gently took a spoonful, put it in his mouth, and said lightly: "How?" ”

"She has ordered someone to pack her luggage and is heading towards the emperor's special mansion."

Ali was ordered to go to the other hospital early in the morning to monitor, and when he got the news, he immediately replied to the letter.

"Hmm." Wei Zhi Yin put down the spoon in his hand and completely lost his appetite.

At the other end, Thirteen Morning carried two small burdens on his back, got on the donkey cart, and let the rest of the wooden boxes be transported to the Punishment Mansion by the carriage, and moved to another house with ease along the way.

This house was given by the Holy Heaven, and although it was located in a secluded place in the city, it was only a hundred steps away from the Punishment Division, which was convenient.

"What can be done?" Pian Zheng took a bite of the vegetable bag that Thirteen had bought, and quietly looked outside.

"That's it, Xiao Zhutou and Mo Zhukuai have already taken the official documents to the Criminal Division and entered the roster, and they have been busy a few days ago, so you are secretly sick and called leave, and you don't talk about it every day, and you go to the teahouse to listen to the play for three days, and you haven't gone to the Criminal Division to take a look."

Pian Zheng listened approvingly, nodded, and said, "Then I won't go to the house first, go to the Criminal Division, and examine the corpse." ”

The car stopped suddenly, and Thirteen opened the tent and said, "It's better to go to the house first to put down the burden and change your clothes." ”

"There's no baggage, just throw it in the car, the official uniform has not yet been reformed, it's dispensable to wear it, go to the Criminal Division first, the autopsy is important."

The pityan put down his tent and urged again and again.

Thirteen's words choked up on his lips, and he could only swallow them again.

If you let the master know that he is talking too much, I am afraid that he will be hit by a knife again.

★

The car stopped outside the Criminal Division, and Thirteen showed the official documents, and the two entered the Criminal Division.

The Dongyuan Dynasty now has three divisions, six departments and six halls, the Imperial Medicine Division, the Criminal Division, and the Integrity Division, and then six departments. The three divisions and six departments supervise each other, and the division of labor is clear, which improves the efficiency of the Dongyuan Dynasty's talent management ability, and the six halls are mainly for food and clothing in the palace.

In addition to the main headquarters of Changjing City and Xiudu City, the Imperial Medicine Department will also set up epidemic points in other first-level counties, and once there are disasters such as smallpox and epidemic epidemics, the central government can quickly distribute the medicines to the branch points of the Imperial Medicine Department to quickly isolate the epidemic patients.

The Department of Integrity is independent of all departments, similar to the cabinet, directly under orders with the emperor, mainly responsible for the supervision of corruption in the three departments, six departments and six halls, except for all matters outside the main jurisdiction, no interference, once found through the six departments, violators will be immediately punished.

Once the official office, the government office, and the county government are divided into unfair cases, the people can go to Beijing and send the criminal department, and the case will be overturned and retried by the criminal department.

The three divisions were gradually established from the time when Shengshang Weihua was in power, which not only reduced the taxes of the people, but also reduced the number of unjust and wrongful cases, and cleared up a lot of corruption.

At this time, Pian Zheng took a serious look at the punishment division for the first time.

Twelve guards stood guard outside the red vermilion lacquer gate, and a black gold wire plaque hung on the high gate.

On the plaque, it is the inscription of the current saint 'Punishment Division'.

The Imperial Medicine Division sits in the north and faces south, covers an area of 100 acres, and has a total of 100 rooms such as the lobby, the second hall, the desk, and the dungeon.

As soon as she entered the door, she was walking through the corridor on the side of the lobby, but she didn't know who coughed lightly twice, attracting her attention.

She frowned and squinted to see a girl sitting in the pavilion not far away.

"Miss Ruan, walk slowly."

Xiang Yujun was sitting in the pavilion, looking at the people who were looking over, and motioned to Alan to invite her.

Pian Zheng was slightly stunned, and before he could react, this Alan had already walked to the front and said, "My young lady is invited." ”

This Yujun came to the Criminal Division early in the morning, waiting for her on this necessary road, it is impossible for her to come for tea.

Thirteen muttered in his heart, but saw that the pityan turned back to him and said, "Go and wait for me around the corner for a while." ”

The pity kite was fast, ignoring the girl, and walked straight towards the pavilion.

Xiang Yujun's dress today is delicate, and she looks more jeweled than usual, and even those dresses are all made specifically for her.

Xiang Yujun secretly looked at the pity in his heart.

The kite was dressed simply, a woman wore a plain color, and she didn't even have a headdress.

But such a woman has a relationship with King Sheng and King Jin.

"Miss Ruan, my young lady is Xiang Yujun, the daughter of the general."

Alain frowned and caught up, but he saw that she didn't have any intention of saluting.

Pity Zheng rushed to examine the corpse, not wanting to talk nonsense.

"Miss Xiang, what's the matter?"

Xiang Yujun was stunned.

She is the princess given by the emperor to King Jin Wei Fengyin, this Ruan Lianzheng ......

Xiang Yujun frowned, but the expression on his face was still smiling: "Miss Ruan, I am the princess given by the emperor to King Jin, no matter who is in the palace now, if you want to enter the palace as a concubine......

"Miss Xiang, I'm afraid she misunderstood something."

Pian Zheng hastily interrupted, his eyebrows and eyes were light, "I don't mean to be half a concubine." ”

Is it possible that this Ruan Lianzheng still wants to be a side concubine?

Xiang Yujun was taken aback, his brows tightened, "Although the emperor reuses female officials, the side concubines ......"

She paused, not continuing.

After a few words, Pian Zheng had already figured out Xiang Yujun's intention to come, probably to suppress her with the demeanor of a concubine.

"Miss Xiang, whether it's the main concubine or the side concubine, it's none of my business to do this. Since I am an official, I have the responsibility of being an official. If nothing happens, the lower officials will rush to the autopsy, and they will not bother Miss Xiang. He said lightly.

After speaking, the pityan Zheng saluted, turned around and left.

Alan was angry and wanted to catch up with the theory, but was hastily stopped by Xiang Yujun.

"Miss, this person is so rude, thanks to your magnanimous willingness to let her enter the mansion, she kicked her nose in the face."

Xiang Yujun's face was slightly pale, and he stared at the figure of the pitiful Zheng in the distance.

"Alain, I'm afraid that Miss Ruan's heart is too much for us to come."

Ruan Lianzheng's words did not mean to fight, but it made her feel confused.

Xiang Yujun was married at the age of eight, and now he is eighteen years old.

On that day, she rushed to Xiudu, wanting to see the rumored man, and if it didn't suit her wishes, she would ask her father to withdraw from the marriage.

She didn't expect to see King Jin's noble and handsome, and she was willing to wait for this marriage for several years.

On that day, Wei Feng abandoned the seat, and the young man who left with him on horseback was not the person who followed Ruan Lianzheng just now?

What if Ruan Lianzheng fights, and what if he doesn't?

Zuo, however, she is the princess who was married by the emperor, and she is just a lowly person, how can she fight?

The gentle eyes were a little flustered after all.

"Alain, go home, please hand over the excerpt to the emperor."

★

Thirteen hid outside the corridor, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

He had heard Snow Thorn say that if two women wanted to grab a man, let alone fight, they would even have the heart to kill each other.

Isn't it going to be a fight for a while?

This is the general's daughter, if she hurts the kite, she will have to cause a lot of trouble.

"What are you doing here?" Pian Zheng frowned and looked down at Thirteen around the corner.

Thirteen looked into the pavilion and said in surprise: "So fast? ”

"How long will it take to say two words, lead the way, I'm going to do an autopsy."

As for other things, she didn't want to worry about it, and she didn't want to bother thinking about it.

Thirteen looked at the pity's face with displeasure, didn't say much, and took it all the way to the coroner's hall behind the Criminal Division.

As soon as she arrived at the place where the autopsy was performed, she saw Xiao Beigu and Lin Qiuwei at a glance.

"Humble duties, see Mulan to mention the torture envoy." Xiao Beigu had a smile in his eyes.

Qiu Wei followed behind Xiao Beigu, but there was finally a little bit of the shyness of a little daughter in that cold color.

These two people, I'm afraid it's closer.

Pian Zheng finally smiled, and before he could speak, Mo Dongqing was coming out from behind with a charcoal basin.

"Don't catch fast." Mo Dongqing raised his head and faced the pitiful kite, he smiled innocently and replied, "Miss Ruan." ”

There are not many people who know Pian Zheng, and if you want to find your own people, there are only a few people to count.

Lin Zhutou's family members are all in Taolin Town, and Mu Qinghe is the most honest parent official in Beixian County, so he is the most suitable for the three of them.

"How's the corpse?" Not much to say, the top priority is the autopsy.

Hu Guan, the wife of Hubu Shangshu Yu Shijing, could not dissect the corpse, so she could only start with some clues.

Xiao Beigu and Mo Dongqing worked together to open the coffin, pulled the corpse cloth underneath, and lifted Hu Guan's body out.

She put on her gloves and examined Hu Guan's body in detail from the beginning.

She inserted her fingers into Hu Guan's head, stroking every inch of her hair and finding nothing.

On the same day, she had checked in detail that Hu Guan's clothes had traces of being dragged through the neckline, and there were no other clues.

After the clothing was removed, it was only the wrist grip marks, underarm reactions, blood stains on the nails, and vermilion marks on the fingertips.

"Thirteen, give me a handkerchief and tweezers."

Pian Zheng suddenly made a discovery, took the tweezers handed by Thirteen, and dipped some loess from Hu Guan's nose and mouth.

"Hu Guan's mouth, nose and face are likely to have been cleaned, but they have not been cleaned in detail."

Mo Dongqing couldn't understand, "Why is there mud and sand in the mouth and nose of the deceased?" ”

"Could it be that the deceased was buried alive during his lifetime?"

He glanced at the deceased's eyeballs, examined the rest, and shook his head slowly.

"People buried alive usually have a spasmodic corpse, their eyes will bleed a little, their faces are painful, and a lot of sediment will be left on their hair, mouth, nose, lips and gums, while the mouth and nose of the deceased are not contaminated much, and their hair is very neat, unlike being buried alive and suffocating."

She carefully held Hu Guan's wrist, looked carefully, and frowned.

In just one day, the purple grip marks on my hands are much clearer than they were when I died yesterday.

"The scratch on the wrist bone of the deceased was a man with a severed finger, and a broken thumb was broken."

Xiao Beigu looked strange and said, "You mean a person with a broken thumb?" ”

"Yes." Pity Zheng nodded.

Xiao Beigu turned around, asked Mo Dongqing to open another coffin together, and pointed to the deceased's right hand.

Only then did Pian Zheng suddenly remember that Hu Guan's daughter Yu Wenyuan had also had her thumb cut off.

Yu Wenyuan happened to be buried alive in the well!

The bottom of Pian Zheng's eyes sank, and he walked quickly to Yu Wenyuan's side, and compared the mud and sand on her body with the mud and sand on Hu Guan's lips.

Completely similar in appearance.

It's all too coincidental, and the coincidence can't be a coincidence at all!
