The case was solved, Xu Chu also successfully got the reward, and the conditions of King Jing'an, who she valued the most, about being able to ask a doctor for her father to regulate his body, were also recognized by Xiao Qinglang after repeated confirmation. So, on the morning of the second day, she simply packed her toolbox and prepared to leave.

When Wei Guang went to pick her up to investigate the case, she was in a hurry, and she didn't bring any soft clothes, but later all the clothes and utensils were purchased by Xiao Qinglang. So at the moment, she didn't have anything to take, so she only folded the splendid Luo skirt and the soft and luxurious cloak that she had changed into and put them in the house.

Xu Chu has always been accustomed to wearing plain clothes in order to facilitate the handling of the case and the autopsy, but now that he has changed his green clothes and cloth skirt, he feels much lighter. It's just that before she went to say goodbye to Xiao Qinglang and Xiao Mingzhu, she saw Xiao Mingzhu running over in a hurry, and when she saw her face, she pulled her tightly and said, "Sister Xu, there is another case ahead, let's go and take a look." ”

Because the former prefect Sun Xing was beheaded in collusion with officials and bandits in Cao Kan's life, and the order in the capital will not arrive in three or five days, so now the position of the prefect of Yunzhou City is temporarily replaced by Tongzhi Cui Husheng.

But now, I saw a miserable woman crying, dragging a bloody man with a face full of arrest to the yamen, followed by dozens of people, all of whom were talking.

By the time Master Cui ascended to the court, the entrance of the yamen was already full of people. After all, the woman's crying and crying has made the life lawsuit known all over the city, plus there is only a ghost murder case to be solved, and the major tea houses and liquor shops are all storytellers who tell strange cases, so now the people in the city are fanatical about solving all kinds of cases. Now I heard that Miss Xu, who can interrogate the Yin Division, has not left yet, so maybe she will join in the fun this time, and she can still see the scene of the case. Naturally, the curiosity of the big guys is not just hung up.

When Xu Chu was dragged all the way by Xiao Mingzhu into the back of the yamen hall, he saw the full hall of officials holding a killing stick, with a serious expression and a mighty expression.

And the woman kneeling at the bottom, except for the crying and screaming of the sky, was covered with blood, and his face was a little unrecognizable, but just looking at his repeated screams of pain and thin body, there were many people who sympathized.

It turned out that the woman who dragged him to Yamen to pay for his life was a famous shrew in Yunzhou City, Zhao Liu's mother-in-law, Zhao Liu's Liu Cuihua. She has always been the only one who has played tricks, and no one dares to provoke her, even the gentlemen in the city have to stay away when they see her, and they have never seen anyone who can ask for half a benefit in her hands.

On the other hand, the man who is shy and painful is a down-and-out talent who sells words on the street for a living. However, although that Xiucai is down, he also has few assets, and the ancestral house is three feet taller than others according to the laws of the Great Zhou.

At this moment, the two of them knelt in the lobby, beside them were the servants waiting to testify in court and the body of the deceased who had just been examined.

"Smack!" As soon as the startling wood sounded, the left and right officials sang and fell in harmony, and Master Cui was full of anger and asked, "Who is kneeling in the hall?" What is the matter of going to court? ”

"Back to my lord's words, the woman is Zhao Liu's Zhao Liu from the Zhao family's butcher shop in the east of the city, and today she is pulling the murderer who killed my sister-in-law to sue the official. I also ask the adults to be the masters of the poor sister-in-law of the people's wife. ”

"My lord, Xiaosheng is wronged." In fact, Qin Xiucai is already famous, and there is no need to kneel in the court, but he is a scholar, and he was beaten by Zhao Liu's family, tearing along the way, and now he has long lost his strength. In addition, he was watched by everyone, and he was angry in his heart, so he didn't have the strength to stand in the hall. But he knew very well that if the charge of murder was pressed on his body, it would be a small matter to disgrace his ancestors in addition to his fame, and he was afraid that he would have to take his life to others. "Xiaosheng has no grudge against that woman, how can he kill someone?"

"There is no grudge, a few days ago, my sister-in-law went to the street, and when she passed by your stall selling calligraphy and paintings, she was coincidentally hit by the flagpole on your stall. After returning home, she was dizzy and nauseous, and she did not get better even after taking two pairs of medicines. When I got up early yesterday, I asked her if she wanted to eat, and she only said that she was dizzy so she didn't go out of the house all day, and she didn't even eat a bite of food. Today, I was not at ease, so I went to her house to look for her, but found that she had long since disappeared. Zhao Liu touched his tears, and said loudly at Qin Xiucai without resentment, "We don't understand, but killing people to pay for their lives must be because of your flagpole falling, so my sister-in-law has internal injuries, even if you are unintentional, you shouldn't let my sister-in-law die unjustly." ”

"My lord, the flagpole of this show smashed into the people's woman and sister-in-law that day, but many people have seen it, and he can't deny it." Zhao Liu didn't give Qin Xiucai a chance to defend his grievances again, and preemptively rushed to the hall Cui Dadao, "Then the folk woman also went to the pharmacy for her sister-in-law to grab some herbs, which are well documented." ”

Although Zhao Liu has a bad reputation, it can involve a life lawsuit, and there are really many people who come to testify for her. Even some ordinary people outside who were listening began to mumble and discuss.

Qin Xiucai's belongings smashed someone, and Zhao Liu's temperament at that time was almost turned upside down. She is a faceless person, and Xiucai is a thin-skinned person, after some pulling, does Qin Xiucai think that she is unlucky and lost some silver?

But who knew that the unfortunate thing was still to come, less than three or five days later, Qin Xiucai, who was writing at home, was beaten all over the face, and was directly determined by Zhao Liu to murder her sister-in-law.

Seeing the noisy shouting in the hall, Master Cui couldn't help but pat the shocking wood again, and then asked loudly: "Excuse me, and tell me about your autopsy results." ”

The one who was named was the old man Wu Laohan who mentioned Xu Chu in the ice cellar earlier. Now he had just examined the body of the deceased Zhao Xiu'er, and when he saw that the adult called him back, he hurriedly took two steps forward and said: "Back to my lord, the villain has examined the body of the deceased, and found that there are no obvious injuries on the deceased's body, and there is no murder weapon on the top of his head and feet. Then the villain had a black and purple scar on his shoulder blade that was smashed by a hard object, and the subcutaneous scar proved that the scar appeared recently. In addition, there were no other discoveries, from which it can be concluded that the deceased died at that time as a result of being smashed by an object, injuring internal organs, or vital injuries. ”

As soon as Wu Laohan's words fell, Qin Xiucai hurriedly said: "But there was nothing wrong with Zhao Xiu'er that day, and I have already lost the silver......

"Since you have obtained the fame of Xiucai, you should be slightly the same as the law, the Great Zhou Law once said that if the injured person dies violently within a few days, the injured person can be held responsible. You are negligent and wounded, but you cannot escape the law. After that, Master Cui said, "Today, since you admit that the flagpole hurt people that day, and there are people who have evidence and no way to quibble, then the official ......"

Before his words fell, Qin Xiucai was already depressed. Looking at Zhao Liu's again, there was a hint of luck and joy in his expression. Xu Chu squinted slightly, didn't stop, hurriedly took a few steps up, found the side of the master who was not conspicuous, and muttered a few words.

Now who in the government doesn't know that Miss Xu Chuxu is the one who solved the murder case of the Five Elements Evil Ghost? Coupled with the importance of King Jing'an, who would question her words? So even though the master was puzzled, he hurriedly interrupted Master Cui's verdict and said, "The adults are slow, and the little ones feel that the initial inspection is hastily decided, which seems inappropriate." Now this weak Xiucai seems to admit his guilt, but the little one feels that he must be unconvinced in his heart, and if he is convicted after the re-examination, it can not only convince him, but also show that the adult acts fairly. ”

In the end, it was the master of the Yamen, who not only put on a high hat for Master Cui in a few words, but also said a high-sounding sound. In fact, if you follow Xu Chu's meaning, you can directly question the results of this autopsy, why bother.

Master Cui was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and saw Xu Chu behind the master, and sighed in his heart, could it be that there was an omission in the autopsy? He didn't dare to be careless, and he weighed it in his heart for a moment, and then waved his hand and promised to recheck first.

Because it was a life lawsuit, and Qin Xiucai had not yet cleared the suspicion, he was temporarily detained. And that Zhao Liu was also left in the yamen for the time being, just waiting for Xu Chu's autopsy results later.

Before leaving, Xu Chu subconsciously glanced at Zhao Liu, but saw that the joy on her face was gone, and instead she moved her body with some uneasiness. I saw that her hands were tightly pressed on the thighs kneeling on the ground, her fingers were erect, although her face was still frowning and she looked sad, but there was no angry cry before.

Seeing her eyes flashing, Xu Chu probably had a guess in his heart. As for whether it is like that, it is natural that you still need to examine the corpse to judge.

The coroner's office was built on the side of the prison because of bad luck, and it was located in a cool and inaccessible area, and even the downtown outside the wall was cut off alive because of this. Although it is bright and clear, when the group walks here, it is inevitable to feel a little gloomy.

As the door of the autopsy room was pushed open, a smell of decay mixed with the smell of corpses came to the face, and then the refreshing cold air poured out from within, and many people's faces turned pale in a few breaths. Naturally, including Xiao Mingzhu, who had to come to join in the fun.

Xu Chu looked at Xiao Mingzhu, and saw that her little face was pale and she was still pushing forward, her heart couldn't help but soften, and said with a smile: "Why don't you wait outside with the adults first, and the people's daughter and Uncle Wu go in to have a look." ”

Xiao Mingzhu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw her say this, but after thinking about it, she wanted to recognize Sister Xu as a teacher, and she was afraid that she would inevitably see such a big scene in the future, so she gritted her teeth and shook her head and waved her hand: "Sister Xu, I'll go in and give you a hand." With that, as if to show her determination, she took the lead in stepping into the autopsy room.

There are no bodies in the autopsy room, and there are only simple autopsy tables with two benches. It was covered with a white cloth that had been worn out and dirty, and there were some old blood stains, which made people sick for a while before they got close.
