Xiahou Jie's face was a little pale, her heart was flustered, and she stood with her hands on the door frame, but she was only beaten a few times, and she died......

"I'll take a look." Huo Yubai said.

Xiahou Jie hurriedly grabbed her arm, "Don't go, your uncle will deal with it." ”

"Auntie, if you don't go, it will make your uncle embarrassed, don't worry, the whips I smoked don't hurt my skin and bones, I was wronged."

Huo Yubai broke free from Xiahou Jie and left quickly.

Xiahou Jie stabilized her mind and hurriedly followed her.

……

"General Huo, this official is acting according to the law, please don't make it difficult." Jingzhao Yin Heyuan's face was serious.

"Lord He, then Young Lady Xu acted as usual when she left in the morning, and now that she is dead, can you rely on us?"

"General Huo, the merits of this official will investigate clearly, and now the Xu family is suing you Huo Family Second Miss for murder, this official accepts this case, and Miss Huo Second must be taken away for investigation."

"Lord He......"

"General Huo, where the duty of this official lies, please hand over the second miss, you can rest assured, this official is absolutely fair, and he will definitely not wronged the second miss."

“……”

"Uncle, let me go with Lord Jing Zhaoyin."

Huo Yubai walked slowly, his expression indifferent.

Huo Lifeng looked at her and frowned, "What are you doing here?" Get back! ”

Huo Yubai was helpless, there was a murder case normally, just find a Fu Yin, and now that Jing Zhaoyin is here in person, it is obviously not easy to handle.

She had to make this trip.

"Uncle, it's okay."

Huo Yubai looked at He Yuan and asked softly, "Lord He, am I a murderer or a suspect now?" ”

He Yuan's sharp eyes looked at her, and he said in his heart that this soft and weak girl didn't look like she could kill, "Second Miss is currently a suspect. ”

"That's good, Lord He will lead the way, and I'll go with you."

"Thank you for your understanding."

He Yuan nodded at Huo Lifeng. "General Huo, take your leave."

Huo Lifeng watched Huo Yubai leave, frowned, turned his head to explain a few words to Xiahou Jie, and followed.

Along the way, the eyes of pedestrians frequently looked at Huo Yubai's side.

"Lord He, I want to ask, is the body of the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Xu family in the mansion?" Huo Yubai asked softly.

"Yes."

"Then may I ask again, did you do an autopsy?"

"Well, Mrs. Xu, Du Shi, was severely beaten, had multiple scars on her body, and died due to poison."

Huo Yubai frowned, "Multiple scars on the body? Poison? ”

"The Xu family said that the whip that Miss Huo Er whipped Du Shi was coated with poison, causing Du Shi to die of poison in just one hour when he returned home."

Huo Yu's white heart sank, and Du Shi died an hour after returning home, that is to say, the most likely thing was that he was killed by the Xu family.

In order to frame her, he even did the murderous deed, is it worth it?

“……”

Entered the government.

The eldest lady of the Xu family, Li Yun, the eldest young master, Xu Jiucheng, and even Huo Yubai's stepgrandmother, the old lady of the Xu family, came.

Several people all looked at Huo Yubai with hatred.

He Yuan sat on the hall and patted him in shock, "Who is in the hall?" ”

"My lord, the little girl Huo Yubai, before the trial, there are two requests."

He Yuan frowned, "Say!" ”

"The first request, the little girl asked for a public trial, opened the yamen, and the people watched."

This trial is usually a public trial, but considering that Huo Yubai is a lady from the official family, the people are not allowed to watch.

Huo Yubai didn't care about being criticized, He Yuan naturally agreed, "Yes!" ”

"The second request of the little girl is to do a public autopsy, I need to know the time of death and the cause of death of the deceased, to ensure that I am not wronged.

In addition, Du Shi died of poisoning, so it is necessary for adults to ask two doctors to ensure that they have an accurate understanding of the medicinal properties, poison time, and symptoms of the poison. ”

He Yuan's eyes changed when he looked at Huo Yubai, this second lady of the Huo family was calm and organized enough, just this kind of courage was not idle.

Huo Yubai's request was not exaggerated, and with Huo Lifeng, a general, watching, in order to seek justice, He Yuan agreed again.

"Someone! Bring the corpse up! Please! By the way, please invite two doctors with excellent medical skills! ”

“……”

The doctor did not show up, and the case was delayed.

Several members of the Xu family were a little restless.

……

As soon as Huo Yubai entered the yamen with his front foot, there was a rumor on his back foot that the second lady of the Huo family had killed someone and was arrested.

The news spread like a wind.

Si Chuheng and Shen Hao returned, and they heard about it as soon as they entered the city gate.

"Miss Huo Er kills? With her weak appearance that the wind blows, can she kill? ”

Shen Hao felt that he had heard a big joke.

Si Chu Heng's eyes darkened, "Go and see." ”

Shen Hao frowned, "At this time, don't you enter the palace to report to the queen?" ”

"It's getting late, I'll go tomorrow morning after the court."

“……”

Si Chu Heng and Shen Hao went to Jingzhao Mansion.

At that time, two doctors arrived, and they were examining the body.

"The deceased's face and mouth were bruised and swollen, and there were many bloody holes, the blood holes were black, and the lips and tips of the tongue were also black, and there was no doubt that he was poisoned."

"What poison?" Huo Yubai asked.

"There are only the most basic symptoms of poisoning, and the specific poison cannot be seen on the surface, and it needs to be further examined by the doctor."

Huo Yubai approached, wiped some black blood on Du Mengquan's lips with his fingers, put the tip of his nose and smelled it, and then observed the color and viscosity of the black blood, and thought for a moment.

"This is Tripterygium wilfordii...... It is highly poisonous, and if you eat it, it will be poisoned after an hour. The time of death is twelve hours later, and the poison occurs earlier if the drug is heavy or if the alcohol is drunk. ”

Everyone looked at her in amazement.

"Second Miss understands medicine?" He Yuan asked.

Huo Yubai nodded, "I've learned some pharmacology in the past few years, whether I am correct or not, Lord He can let the doctor check it." ”

He Yuan winked.

The two doctors stepped forward separately and took the black blood, which was determined after a long time of examination and discussion.

"My lord! It's Tripterygium Vine unmistakable! ”

Huo Yubai spoke, "Lord He, it can be inferred from the corpse spots on Du's neck that Du's death was about two to three hours, and now that the unitary time is approaching, Du Shi should have died around noon today."

I beat him with a whip, and if there is poison on the whip, and the poison penetrates the skin, or a small amount enters the mouth, it should be poisoned for an hour, and he will die about noon tomorrow. ”

"Du Shi didn't die of poison." He Yuan said.

"What will be the cause of death?"

"You didn't poison it, you killed it!" Li Wan said excitedly.

Huo Yubai didn't argue with her, and looked at Qi Zuo again, "My lord, Du Shi did not die of poisoning, judging from her facial expression, it was not suffocation, and the cause of death needs to be explored." ”

As he spoke, he unbuttoned Du Mengquan's clothes in front of everyone.

"What do you do?" Li Wan was excited.

Huo Yubai looked at her, "Auntie, don't you know that you have to take off your clothes for the autopsy?" ”
