Chapter 28 Heavenly Family Joy Twenty-Eighth

After sending Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao away, Qin Tai handed Zhan Xiaoxiao and Hai Rui into the room. For his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao and his friend Hai Rui, Qin Tai did not hide anything. Zhan Xiaoxiao left immediately after hearing this, because she knew her husband's temper, and the case was more important than anything else. So Zhan Xiaoxiao went to help Qin Taihe pack his luggage. Although the case happened near the capital, he had to travel in a hurry, so Zhan Xiaoxiao simply prepared some dry food and clothes. When she returned to the room, Qin Tai had already discussed the next division of labor with Hai Rui. Hai Jui continued to take the delegates, in accordance with the normal procedure, to ask to meet with the Longqing Emperor and the cabinet, and asked the imperial court and the Longqing Emperor to abolish the draft and add palace maids to the palace. Before the imperial court and Emperor Longqing did not completely reject everyone's request, try not to act excessively. Hai Jui has to take care of all the deputies and can't let everyone do anything out of the ordinary. Qin Tai will solve the case as soon as possible, and once the case is over, he will immediately rush back to continue to reason with the court with everyone.

Due to the tight time, Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao left everyone immediately after explaining everything. They had to rush to the scene where the woman's body was found, to explore the environment up close, and they also needed to examine the woman's body. This is Qin Tai's habit, and he will definitely not believe anyone's confession until he has seen all the evidence. Qin Tai was also worried that he had not checked carefully, after all, the other party was not only a woman, but also a palace maid who might have come out of the palace. Qin Tai was worried that he would make a hasty decision, so after casually drawing conclusions, he disposed of the corpse. This is quite unfavorable to solving the case, and it is also a big problem that Qin Tai often encounters.

Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao rushed out, not noticing that several people on the side were waiting for the news of their departure. After they went out, it took less than a cup of tea to make Zhang Juzheng come again. This time, Zhang Juzheng not only came, but also attended in formal attire. Zhang Juzheng was wearing a big red robe, and he appeared in front of Hai Rui with the appearance of a big official. Hai Rui had no choice but to meet his old superior and mentor Zhang Juzheng according to his usual etiquette. After Zhang Juzheng said some things on the scene, he called Hai Rui to the room where there were only the two of them. Soon after, Hai Rui came out, and Zhang Juzheng sent a few Qingliu and experienced subordinates to help Hai Rui take care of everyone, and asked Hai Rui to complete his task as soon as possible. Hai Rui had no choice but to explain a few words to everyone, and left the capital with his subordinates in a state of Zhang Juzheng's half-invitation and half-escort.

The reason why Zhang Juzheng transferred Hai Juzheng away was very simple, the task given to Hai Jui by the cabinet was not completed. Hai Rui's delay here caused the people there to think that the imperial court did not pay attention to them. The contradictions between the two sides have not only not been eliminated, but have also seriously intensified, and may even erupt. Hai Jui is an extremely responsible person who will never allow himself to slack off in his official affairs. Zhang Juzheng guaranteed that the things here must be carried out reasonably and legally, and let the Qingliu supervise them, and nothing will happen. Hai Rui then promised to rush to the destination immediately and settle the dispute there for the imperial court as soon as possible.

Qin Tai is gone, and Hai Rui is also gone, which makes the originally confident delegates very uneasy. In addition, Zhang Juzheng brought a large group of strange soldiers to protect everyone, which made the delegates even more worried. Why "weird soldiers"? Because although these people are wearing the clothes of ordinary yamen officials, they are considered semi-official soldiers, but everyone thinks that it is not simple. These men wore the coats of military officers, but on their feet they wore combat boots that only army officers were entitled to wear. The inner armor was faintly visible from the inside of the outer garment, which was used only by the senior cavalry of the army's combat units. Although the deputies are all farmers, it does not mean that they are all "soil buns" who have never seen the world. There is only one possibility for such a well-made soldier except that they are pretending to be officers, and they are not ordinary soldiers. Either the Praetorian Guards who protected the emperor, or the Jinyi Guard, known as the first army of the Ming Dynasty. Only soldiers of these two armies are qualified to dress like this. The Praetorian Guard is the emperor's guard of honor and personal troops, and even if Zhang Juzheng becomes the chief assistant of the cabinet, he will not be able to mobilize the Praetorian Guard. Jin Yiwei is a special service unit that supervises civil and military officials, and will never obey Zhang Juzheng's command. It seems that Zhang Juzheng did not help Hai Rui in private, and these people are not Zhang Juzheng's people. The delegates guessed that they might have been surrounded by the court or the emperor's people, and that if they did not obey, not only would their lives be at risk, but their families would also be affected. The arrogance of the delegates dropped suddenly, and some of them were even ready to go home immediately. But the soldiers guarding them told everyone that no one could leave without permission. Everything must be handled by the imperial court and Zhang Juzheng, otherwise all personalities will be killed. The delegates finally understood thoroughly that they were controlled by the imperial court and had lost their personal freedom.

Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao didn't know everything here, because they had already fallen headlong into the case. Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao rushed to the scene, and the body was just about to be cleaned up. Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao stopped everyone's reckless behavior, and Qin Tai personally inspected the scene and made a complete topographical report. With the help of two female assistants of the yamen, Zhan Xiaoxiao once again examined the female corpse and made a post-mortem report based on the map. When the servant on the side just wanted to say a few words of sarcasm, he saw Zhan Xiaoxiao's skillful autopsy technique, and couldn't help but close his mouth.

Soon after, Zhan Xiaoxiao not only wrote the new post-mortem report herself, but also found nearly 10 errors in the post-mortem report. Zhan Xiaoxiao pointed out the wrong places one by one, and taught the female assistant some details. When he was unconvinced, Zhan Xiaoxiao only said the names of himself and Xianggong. Not only did he shut up immediately, but he also said that he would be humble enough to correct it immediately. For the autopsy, Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao are grandparents and grandmothers, they are the idols and teachers of all the world's work. It is not only not a shame for a student to be criticized by the teacher, but also an honor. Not only is this guy very smart, but he is also very brainy.

In just half an hour, Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao had already determined the basic identity of the female corpse. Zhan Xiaoxiao found a lot of old wounds and scarred wounds from the female corpse. Some wounds are caused by needle sticks, some are caused by sticks, and some are scalded scars. This is a situation unique to palace maids, and ordinary women will not have so many such complex wounds on their bodies. In addition, the female corpse is intact and she is still a virgin at the age of nearly thirty, which is almost rare among the people, so it can be determined that the deceased is an old palace maid who has just left the palace. Qin Tai also found a handkerchief made of brocade in the deceased's clothes, this material and embroidery work could not be obtained by ordinary people.

Just when Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao determined that the deceased was most likely the palace maid who had just left the palace, the person sent by the inner court to confirm the identity of the female corpse also came. The other party is a low-level eunuch in his forties, who may be a eunuch who handles palace maids, so he is more familiar with these old palace maids. At first, he didn't dare to look at the female deceased, but later under a little coercion, he agreed to take a look at the female corpse. However, at this glance, the eunuch confirmed that the deceased was Zhang Chunhua, the second batch of old palace maids who left the palace.

Qin Tai ordered the body of the deceased to be brought back along with all his belongings. In order to facilitate Qin Tai's investigation of the case, Feng Bao arranged a row of houses for them in a small gate of the palace. Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao have a lounge, a conference room, an office room, and several morgues. It seems that Feng Bao is not only very careful, but also very thoughtful.

Qin Tai asked the other party for the list and detailed records of the palace maids, especially about Zhang Chunhua. The other party sent over the files and materials that Qin Tai wanted after a while. Not only were things delivered, but so did the assistants. Feng Bao sent a few eunuchs from the Shen Penal Division and the Celebrant Supervisor to serve Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao as assistants by name.

Originally, Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao thought that not only would these people not investigate the case, but also be very arrogant, and they would only make trouble on the side. Unexpectedly, these people are not only very obedient, but also not general. Zhan Xiaoxiao thought that they did not understand autopsy and investigation, and explained some simple things about sorting out information and handling evidence. Unexpectedly, they finished it immediately, and the slightest mess was not inferior to Zhanxiao's work. Only then did Zhan Xiaoxiao discover that there were also capable people in the inner court, at least these people were not inferior to the skilled hands of the local yamen. Zhan Xiaoxiao took everyone to examine the body of the deceased again, recorded the most detailed information, and drew the shape of the corpse. As if they knew what to do next, they drew carefully and made sure that it was not bad in the slightest. Zhan Xiaoxiao saw that everyone was mentally prepared, and after these works were over, the autopsy of the deceased began. It was only at this time that these eunuchs were a little uncomfortable, and their faces changed. Qin Tai on the side has a good evaluation of these people, although he has not dissected corpses, his psychological quality and basic skills are good. If they are willing to give up their fame and fortune and become a coroner, it will definitely be a good job. It's just a pity that they don't seem to be wholeheartedly committed to this, this is just the way and way they are promoted, not the goal they want to pursue. Their ultimate goal was to seal the eunuchs in the palm of the celebrants, and almost all the eunuchs thought so.
