If this is the case, then even if that person loses the silverfish talisman, he can naturally be helped by the old lady of the Dong family to hide the past.

Tang Qiaozheng was stunned for a moment, but after a moment, he understood the meaning of Xu Chu's words.

It was precisely because he figured it out that he looked at Xu Chu's gaze and appreciated it more and more. Her own prince is really a discerning talent, but it is the well-known matter of the first emperor, pet, and Xin Dong family, which can make her speculate so many things.

However, before Tang Qiaozheng's emotion could be spoken, he suddenly remembered that the most awe-inspiring thing was not reasoning, but the superb ability of the autopsy. Thinking that she could dissect a corpse beyond recognition without changing her face, and then sew the corpse together without blinking her eyes, Tang Qiaozheng's face froze with admiration, and there were only a few big words left in his heart

After Tang Qiaozheng looked cautious, but left with a muttering in his heart. Xu Chucai asked Mrs. Chu to come with the doctor in the capital, and she was not polite, and when she saw Mrs. Chu, she directly handed over the soil and some bones taken from the secret passage.

"Auntie, this is the soil taken from under the chest and abdomen of dozens of corpses, and some finger bones, I need your help to check whether there is any poison in them." She hesitated slightly, and simply handed over the blackened silverfish talisman in her hand, "This is a silverfish talisman mixed in the bones, I suspect that it turned black because it encountered the poison of the crane top red." ”

Although it is not accurate to speculate whether a person died from a red crane by whether the silver needle turned black, after all, eating utensils containing sulfide can generally change the color of the silver needle. However, it is difficult to explain the fact that such a large area of death without obvious fractures can completely turn the small silverfish charm into black, except for the poison of the ancient Crane Ding Red, which contains sulfide.

After all, even if those people ate peanuts or egg yolks, they could make the silver needles change color like in Peng Yiguang's case, but they would not be able to dye the silverfish talisman black, let alone choke everyone to death.

So the biggest possibility is that the palace banned medicine is red.

If we can really be sure, the people in the secret passage all died of the crane top red. Then, during the previous investigation of the case, the forbidden drug Hedinghong in the palace that they encountered that caused Shunzi to be poisoned and died is estimated to have a source.

As for whether the forbidden drugs in the palace are in custody, Xu Chu didn't think about it, she had guessed as early as when she was in the envoy group, probably from the sixth envoy who was killed or committed suicide, Ai Yireti.

Aunt Chu took the thing and looked at Xu Chu with a tangled expression. Although Xu Chu didn't mention the conversation between the two that night, she still couldn't help but hesitate for a long time. In the end, she saw Xu Chu's expression cold, and her expression was as solemn as the mountain rain was coming, so she remembered that this was not the time to talk about other things, so she gritted her teeth and swallowed the words she wanted to say and left.

Next, it's time to wait for news from all sides.

Xu Chu didn't have much hope for the person Tang Qiaozheng sent to the nearby restaurant to investigate, at most, he found the eyewitness according to his whereabouts, and then drew the person's face.

What she really wants to achieve is the person's right-hand man and confidant - Xiao Zihang, who is very likely to inherit Wang Yangming's Zhu Youshu.

Wang Yangming served Emperor Chengzong and Empress Gongshun. may be very clear about the inside story at that time, and even the fact that he faked his death is likely to be because of the root cause of this kind of conspiracy.

If he escapes from the palace and goes incognito, someone will have to answer him. And a eunuch who has long been dead, except for his only relative, Xiao Zihang, Xu Chu can hardly guess how the people behind the scenes can persuade him to betray the Empress Gongshun and the old British Mansion.

And judging from his age, Xiao Zihang is very likely to be the henchman of the person they are tracking.

Grab him, pry his mouth open, and think you'll get more.

Thinking of this, she no longer wasted time. Just as Imperial Physician Zhao and the others were taking care of Xiao Qinglang and returning home, she also turned around and went to the Three Law Divisions.

In the autopsy room of the Three Law Divisions, three post-mortem bed boards had been added at this time. The few skeletons that Xiao Qinglang's secret guards secretly brought out from the secret passage were placed on the makeshift bed boards.

Xu Chu stepped forward to examine it carefully for a moment, and said, "Let people prepare firewood, spirits, and steamed bones!" ”

Because of her arrival, there are many more post-mortem methods in the Three Law Divisions. Steamed bones, such as steamed bones, have long been recorded in the post-mortem manual. Next to the autopsy room, a two-sided pit for steaming bones was built.

Therefore, as soon as she gave the order, some officials quickly stepped forward and strung the skeleton with straw ropes, and then placed it on the white cloth and carried it away.

While waiting for the steaming of the bones, Xu Chu went to check the dried corpse brought back from the Qingfeng Temple of the Danding Sect. It is also suspected to be the female corpse of the original mother Sun Rou

At this time, the face of the female corpse was still lifelike, but because she had not put on makeup for many days, her face was much grayer and a little dead.

Xu Chu took a deep breath and tried to calm down the strange emotions in his heart. After a moment of calm, she put on her mask and slowly leaned closer to the female corpse.

"The deceased, female, about 5 feet 4 inches in length, no obvious external injuries, no signs of fractures"

Looking at the dry corpse, Xu Chu is still the first time. In her previous life, even though she had made some achievements in the autopsy, she could not interfere with the corpses that were very likely to involve cultural relics and history. Most of her knowledge of dried corpses is also through computers or internal data, and most of the data from the examination of dried corpses are also published by relevant historians after scanning with instruments.

She looked at the corpses of her subordinates with an unusually serious face, and after a while, she turned her head to look at the official waiting beside her and said, "Go find a saw, it should be sharper and sharper." ”

The official was stunned for a moment, looked at Xu Chu and then at the hard corpse, and finally gritted his teeth and left in a hurry.

There was already a firewood room in the Sanfa Division, and there would naturally be a lot of tools inside, so he didn't delay too long before taking the saw back.

Xu Chu took the saw and didn't give any explanation. She first took tweezers and pliers and slowly stuffed them into the corpse's mouth, because the corpse was already extremely stiff, so it was very difficult to pry hard.

She slowly exerted her strength, and held the pliers upright as she opened the corpse's mouth.

The corpse has been dried for a long time, and even if it is not as shriveled and dented as a thousand-year-old cadre, it is not as easy to dissect as a fresh corpse. Even if it was just prying open the mouth of the female corpse, it took Xu Chu a lot of effort.

"The wisdom teeth are fully erupted, and it can be assumed that the deceased was about 20 to 30 years old."

After saying this, she carefully examined the head of the female corpse.

"The bones are intact, there are no injuries, no fractures," she said, and went to the autopsy to dissect the shriveled scalp with force, carefully scraping a gap, and then said, "The gap in the skull, the herringbone seam was once healed, and it is presumed that he was between twenty-five and thirty years old." ”

After determining his age, Xu Chu aimed the saw at the deceased's chest. She was used to dissecting with a post-mortem knife, and at this time she was really unaccustomed to changing to a saw in her hand to do carpenter's work.

However, it is almost impossible to dissect a dried corpse with a post-mortem knife. Even with a saw, it takes a lot of effort, not to mention a tool like a post-mortem knife, which is sharp but not hard enough.

She took a deep breath, and she didn't care about the sudden drastic changes in the face and frightened eyes of the clerk and the official next to her, and directly hissed and sawed open the chest cavity of the female corpse.

"The internal organs are intact, and there is no sign of being removed."

She didn't mean anything else when she said this, but just said it out of professional caution.

The so-called dried corpse, as the name suggests, is a dry corpse that does not decay. Under normal circumstances, after death, the corpse will be subjected to various decay and decomposition due to the autolysis of cells in the body. However, the dried corpse violates this law, not only does it not corrupt, but it can also be presented in front of people in its original form.

Most of the dried corpses are classified into two categories, one is natural dried corpses and the other is artificial dried corpses.

The so-called natural dried corpse, just like the current female corpse, is not artificially processed, but a naturally formed dried corpse due to the dehydration of the corpse caused by the environment. When the climate is dry, the environment is not humid enough, and the body is covered with sand or wool cloth, etc., the body can not only come into contact with the air circulating from the outside world, but also evaporate the water to prevent it from decomposing.

And the artificial dried corpses are mostly like the mummy of the pharaoh. After death, the corpse is dissected and poured with hot melted rosin and wrapped in a cloth soaked in rosin. In addition, the internal organs of the corpse, such as the internal organs, which are prone to autolysis first, will be removed and preserved for future resurrection. Of course, this kind of dried corpse should not be visible in the Great Zhou, after all, different cultures and histories are different, and the disposal of corpses is naturally different.

The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty believed that the whole corpse should be left after death, and the dried corpse like the mummy should be removed from the internal organs of the corpse and preserved, which is really contrary to the culture of the whole corpse.

In addition, Xu Chu also read the geographical chronicles, although there were many barbarians and foreigners near the Great Zhou, there were no cultural records similar to India.

The clerk recorded her words with some shuddering, and then listened to the hissing sound with a pale face and a creepy face. He didn't even have the courage to look up, let alone ask more.

Even if he didn't look at it or ask, his mind kept rolling over Lord Xu, whose eyes were dark, pressing the corpse with one hand and decomposing the lifelike appearance of the corpse with a saw with the other. Just thinking about it made him feel extremely terrifying, let alone look at it curiously.

Not only the papers, but also the officials on the side, and even the several examiners and two servants who were examining other skeletons in the same autopsy room, their faces had long since lost their blood at this time, and the corners of their mouths were very tight.

They weren't afraid, after all, under Xu Chu's influence, they had long been accustomed to dissection. But even if they were used to autopsies and autopsies, they never thought that one day they would use a saw to disassemble a beautiful female corpse for examination.

What's more, when the female corpse was sent before, she was still wearing makeup, and at first glance it was not much different from a living person.

Under such circumstances, let them watch Xu Chu concentrate on cutting the female corpse. Coupled with the eerie and lonely coroner's room, there was a constant creaking and hissing cutting sound, how could they not feel weird in their hearts?
