Chapter 313: Inspecting the Killed Envoys (1)

It's a pity that he is the King of Jing'an, who is respected and feared by the world.

But seeing Xiao Qinglang sneered, he waved his hand directly: "Since you can't say it to outsiders, then Inspector Cao won't have to say it again in the future." Wei Guang, put people in prison and became a public servant. Because he falsely made the conclusion of the autopsy in front of the emperor, he was punished as the crime of defrauding the king. ”

As soon as these words came out, Inspector Cao was completely paralyzed to the ground, and he held his shaky body and said: "The prince forgives his sins, and his subordinates also act according to the emperor's orders." Before yesterday's autopsy, the father-in-law who came to deliver the message had clearly informed his subordinates that the emperor wanted to investigate the death of the envoy and the death of the princess together, and in any case, his subordinates would put the blame on the head of the playboy......"

"The father-in-law said that the emperor was afraid of the marriage between the Hua family and the Qi Palace, so he ...... So ......"

When he said this, his head slammed on the ground, and he said in horror: "My subordinates really have never been corrupt and bent the law, nor have they accepted money from people and pretended to fake autopsy lists. ”

At this time, Xu Chu, who had finished sorting out the body of the deceased, raised his eyebrows clearly. No wonder she felt weird, it was obvious that she had gone through countless selections, but after becoming an official identity inspector, she would be so bad.

Even if there is a fear of offending people, there will be no such mistakes in the cause of death.

Xiao Qinglang snorted coldly, and raised his hand to stop the guard who wanted to step forward to pull Inspector Cao, "It's ridiculous!" The marriage of the lord of Mingzhu County was given by the emperor, who wouldn't say a match made in heaven in the whole week? ”

After being reprimanded, Inspector Cao's chaotic brain gradually came to his senses, and he suddenly shuddered. If...... If it is really as the prince said, then yesterday ......

He didn't dare to think further, and the whole person was stunned and at a loss.

After all, Xiao Qinglang never attacked him at this time.

"Do you remember what the eunuch was like?"

"Back to the prince, that person is leaning around, so it is difficult to judge the height, but it is certain that he is at least about five feet six inches, his body is thin, and his walking steps are a little big, so that his subordinates can only catch up by walking all the way. As for the appearance, the subordinates only vaguely remember some. He wiped his cold sweat and hurriedly remembered.

Hearing this, Xiao Qinglang suddenly remembered that Hua Wuxian had said that when he was in a daze, he seemed to vaguely see a man in a eunuch uniform walking towards the harem. The man's steps are very large, and some people in the army do it......

He frowned slightly, glanced at Inspector Cao coldly, and said, "Someone, take Inspector Cao to see Lord Tang, and ask him to make a picture of the eunuch who passed the decree." ”

When Inspector Cao heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, Xu knew that the prince wanted to investigate the case deeply and would not really careless of human life. Or, the prince's words just now that he didn't need to talk about the crime of bullying the king really frightened him. So much so that now, he has the illusion of the rest of his life.

Even if he can't escape the result of being removed from the official status and becoming a lowly person in the future, at least he is still alive.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Xu Chu with a complicated expression. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be relieved or resentful of her.

In fact, now that he thinks about it, it seems that he has already begun to lose himself. At the beginning, I tried my best to think about joining the Three Law Divisions, in addition to wanting to get ahead, didn't I just want to find justice for the deceased and avenge the people?

But now it seems that for many years, he has been corrupted by the intrigue of this prosperous place. So much so that at the slightest disturbance, I didn't dare to speak out.

In fact, it was not only him, but the remaining three inspectors were also inexplicably worried when Xiao Qinglang suddenly attacked him. In their position, although they are not from a family of eunuchs, and they do not have much power, but in order to make friends with the children of officials, they often help to falsify.

Or when helping someone collect the corpse of the maid in the house, the big thing will be turned into a small one, and the serious injury will be said to be a minor injury, and the minor injury will be said to be an accident. If there is a fight, he will also use some means on the surface. Left and right, as long as they are not discovered, they will not be accused to the prince, let the prince send someone to expose it, and they have done everything they can.

And because they are inspectors from the Three Law Divisions, and they have the name of King Jing'an, even if some people are suspicious, they have never made trouble.

Now it seems...... Isn't it a prince...... Isn't it that the prince has already discovered the clues.

They were panicked and did not dare to make a move. On Xu Chu's side, it was very relaxed.

Now, she had reached the body of the sixth slain envoy of the Legates, Ayreti. Ai Yireti died four days ago, but because it was so well preserved in the ice cellar, the body was still intact, and even the skin was only slightly yellow and did not appear black and blue, naturally, there was no serious decomposition and rancid smell.

Xu Chu lowered his head to carefully inspect the corpse, but saw that the deceased's face was peaceful, and there was nothing unusual about his mouth and nose. And after she applied vinegar, there was no sign of damage around the body.

She remembered that the autopsy had recorded that the deceased had died of the poison of the deed.

Xu Chu is not a stranger to this poison, and in Zhang's case, acquaintances have died because of poisoning. Afterwards, she consulted Aunt Chu and knew that Zhu Bulu had been used as an anesthetic in the Tai Hospital.

It was sent from Yuansha City, which returned from the Western Regions, and was extremely poisonous, and its whole body resembled humanoid ginseng, and it was called corpse ginseng or ghost ginseng because of its medicinal properties.

It grows in dark, rancid soil, near damp graves or corpse pits. According to the book, it is said that its roots can penetrate several feet deep into the ground, and can be strangled to feed people and animals. If it is dug up rashly, then no matter the people and animals in the vicinity, anyone who inhales the poisonous gas will definitely die.

And after leaving the soil, it won't be long before the toxicity fades away.

It's just that the toxicity fades again, but if there is a little bit of grinding wine, it can also make people enter a state of paralysis, as if they are half dead. If there is no antidote, it will not be long before people die unconsciously.

This is also the origin of many people in the Western Regions who passed on the aburidus into a miracle medicine that brought the dead back to life. It's a pity, in fact, where is the medicine that can really bring people back to life?

Of course, if you take a large amount of medicine, there is no possibility of "resurrection from the dead".

Xu Chu carefully identified the situation of the corpse, the deceased looked peaceful, and there was no pain with a smile on the corner of his mouth. After the autopsy, there was no lesion found, and naturally there were no traces of suffocation, let alone mechanical damage.

If this is the case, the most likely thing is that there is really the medicinal properties of the reed.

She paused, looked at the remaining three examiners and asked, "Dare to ask the three adults, how do you determine that the deceased died of the poison of the deed, and not any other poison?" ”

The Great Zhou Dynasty believed that most of the corpses who died after taking poison had their mouths and eyes open, their faces were purple or blue, their lips were purple and black, their hands and feet were blue and their nails were dark, and there was blood coming out of their mouths, eyes, ears, and noses.

Even if it is not bleeding from the seven orifices, it will be black and swollen all over the body, the lips are curly and blistered, the tongue is shrunk or cracked, rotten, slightly out, and the lips are also rotten, swollen or cracked.

But the corpse under his eyes had no bleeding from his eyes, nose and mouth, nor was his face black and purple, and even his nails did not appear blue and black. Therefore, she was really curious about how the inspector of the Three Law Divisions came to the conclusion that the detainees were poisoned.

It's not that they deliberately provoke or distrust them, but they don't understand that if the inspectors of the three law divisions have experience in drug testing, or have accurate methods. Why do the county officials in various places still follow the old method to examine the corpses of people who died of poisoning?

It's like the so-called Peng Yiguang's poisoning before, and he only used a silver needle to conclude that it was arsenic poisoning. Then, he pretended that his bones had turned black, trying to make sure that he had really died of poison.

Because Cao Cao, the most senior inspector of the Three Law Divisions, was taken down, and Xu Chu really showed his true skills when he inspected the body of Princess Heqin. So now the remaining three inspectors no longer dare to be arrogant.

Right now, the eldest of the three, Liu Heliu, the inspector, arched his hand and said, "We found that he had no external injuries, but he had the characteristics of suffocation." Later, I asked the guards around him, and I learned that he had always paid attention to conditioning his body, so his body was very strong and there were no unusual diseases. In addition, the corpse's fecal door was weak and there was leakage, so it is assumed that he died of poisoning......"

"When the body was found, it was still warm, and we assume that it had died no more than three hours. So I wiped the liquid from his mouth with a cotton cloth, and put a cotton cloth into his throat and went straight into his esophagus to take the fluid. After that, he asked the doctor from the Tai Hospital to help identify it, and finally confirmed that the deceased was poisoned by the detaine. ”

The imperial physician treats the illnesses of the nobles in the palace or the ministers of the court, so naturally they will not help to examine the corpse. Therefore, they could only ask for help, send the condition of the deceased's body and the liquid taken, and ask for the help of a doctor who was familiar with the hospital.

During this period, he was also quite quiet, and it was also thanks to the name of the prince that he didn't let the imperial doctor turn his face.

It's also very sad to think about it.

Xu Chu looked at their expressions and could guess the twists and turns. Mo said that it was a doctor in the Tai Hospital, even if it was a private doctor, he did not want to be involved in a miscellaneous murder case or a lawsuit.

Thinking of this, she didn't ask any more questions.

According to them, it was enough to prove that the deceased had indeed died of poisoning. After all, long-term anesthesia may cause breathing difficulties and then suffocation to death. But the big question now is how he died in Abbushi.

After a moment's thought, she gave up on examining Aireti's body. Left and right, with the cause of death, the remaining clues should be found at the scene and on the clothes and accessories he was wearing that day.

Next, there was Nabi, the fifth dead envoy in the legacy.

It had been eight days since Nabi died, and even though there was an ice cellar to preserve the corpse, the corpse's skin was a little dark and blue, and even in the abdomen and other places, there was also a spill of corpse fluid.

But fortunately, the body is also completely preserved, at least the facial features are clear.
