Chapter 161: King Cheng cries coffin
The opening of the coffin for an autopsy, in the Yaori Dynasty, was an extremely unfortunate thing, but because of the resolute attitude of the Dugu family, Dugu Yu was wronged in blood, and Dugu Tingnan even signed a military order, so that Situ Sheng could no longer refute it.
Today is the day of the opening of the coffin and the autopsy. Many officials of the court and China came to the mausoleum of Princess Cheng early in the morning to watch the autopsy.
Soon after, the emperor's holy car also arrived, and a temporary tent was set up in the open space of the mausoleum for the emperor to rest.
Yan Long, the secretary of the criminal department who presided over the opening of the coffin, followed the instructions of Weisheng Taifu, burned incense and prayed, and then raised the soil at three o'clock and covered the coffin before noon. Everything is on schedule and there is no delay.
Recently, the coffin was finally taken out of the cemetery, the coffin was very intact, Princess Cheng was buried according to the clothes of the lady of the first grade, the coffin used and the burial are good, and because the burial time is not long, so it is intact.
After Yan Long stepped forward to ask the emperor, he ordered someone to lift the steel nails on the coffin and lift the heavy coffin lid down.
After the coffin lid was lifted, a foul smell of corpse decay came to the face, making everyone around the coffin frown.
"Please!"
Yan Long gave an order, and Guan Xiong, the servant of the Criminal Division, came over with a few people, only to see that he and his assistants were all wearing masks and gloves and poked into the coffin.
Several assistants immediately held up oil-paper umbrellas and surrounded Guan Xiong and began the autopsy.
Dugu Tiannan stood not far from the coffin, waiting nervously, not knowing what the results of this autopsy would be?
Wandering back and forth uneasily, he found that most of the officials in the DPRK and China were among them, but Fang Zheng was the only one to be seen. This guy, where did he go?
After about an hour, Guan Xiong finally completed the autopsy process, he put down the tools in his hand, took off his mask, walked to Xiang Situ Sheng and knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty, the autopsy has been completed!"
Situ Sheng raised his eyebrows, sat up straight with his body originally leaning on the back of the chair, and asked, "What was the result? What was the cause of Princess Cheng's death? Was it a miscarriage and hemorrhage?"
"Back to the emperor, it was verified by the ministers that the cause of Princess Cheng's death was indeed due to excessive blood loss and internal organ failure!"
"Oh, are there any other suspicions?, are there any external injuries on the body, or other scars?" Situ Sheng paused and asked again.
Guan Xiong raised his head and replied: "Your Majesty, although the body of Princess Cheng has been half decomposed, it can still be seen that there are no external injuries everywhere on the body, and the minister has concluded that the person in the coffin died of a miscarriage and blood collapse, there is no doubt about it! The minister has been performing an autopsy for many years, and there will never be a mistake!"
Situ Sheng listened and nodded. The Criminal Department specializes in examining corpses, and this Guan Xiong is a veteran of autopsy, so he shouldn't be mistaken!
Thinking of this, he looked at Dugu Qiannan, whose face was a little ugly, and said, "Dugu Tiannan, do you hear? Princess Cheng did die of a miscarriage and blood collapse, and was not killed by King Cheng as Concubine Qin said! Now, what else do you have to say?"
Dugu leaned south and looked at Situ Sheng, knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty, after the death of Sister Weichen, King Cheng did not let the minister and the minister's father meet him, so please allow the minister and Guan to examine the body together to make sure that the person in the coffin is indeed the minister's sister!"
As soon as Dugu Tiannan's words came out, the onlookers were in an uproar!
Isn't this Dugu Tingnan too whimsical? Isn't it Princess Cheng in this coffin? Could it be someone else? It's just nonsense!
Is this Inspector Goshi confused?
"Dugu Tannan, shouldn't you be deliberately delaying time in order to avoid punishment?"
Situ Sheng naturally listened to the discussion of the ministers below, so he snorted lightly and said.
"The minister has no such intention! It's just that after my sister died, King Cheng never let the minister see her for the last time, is this unreasonable? The minister has reason to doubt the identity of the person in the coffin! If you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't be convinced when you die!"
As soon as Dugu Tannan's temper came, he replied stubbornly.
"You ......" Situ Sheng blew his beard angrily and glared, this guy, how does he look like nonsense! However, thinking of the credit to the Dugu family to the Yaori Dynasty, Situ Sheng still compromised, waved his hand and said impatiently: "You go to check, you go to check! I want to see what you can find?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Dugu Tiannan immediately got up, walked in front of Guan Xiong and said, "Guan Yanzuo, I'm tired of you!"
Guan Xiong's face was a little ugly, and he glanced at Dugu Tiannan, and reluctantly said to Situ Sheng: "Since the emperor has an order, the minister obeys the order!
With that, he flicked his sleeves and walked towards the coffin.
Dugu Qiannan stared at Guan Xiong's back for a few seconds, and then followed.
Dugu Tannan approached the coffin step by step, and finally saw the body in the coffin.
It was a very badly decomposed corpse, the face was completely invisible, the corpse was decomposed to varying degrees everywhere, and the serious places had revealed white bones.
If it weren't for Dugu Tiannan who knew in advance that this was not his sister, I'm afraid that after watching it, he would have collapsed uncontrollably!
Although my sister was reborn, her body was missing, which was a pity after all! Thinking of this, Dugu Qiannan felt sad for a while.
"Dugu Gongzi, please see, although this corpse is half decomposed, the muscles on its limbs are corrupted from the inside out, which shows that Princess Cheng has no external injuries. Looking at the rotten muscles, all of them are gray and white, indicating that she had lost a lot of blood before she died! All these symptoms add up to a very consistent relationship with Princess Cheng, and you can't go wrong!"
Dugu Qiannan looked at the corpse and said lightly: "The corpse is decomposed like this, the face is unclear, even if it dies because of excessive blood loss, it can't prove that this is my sister!
When Guan Xiong heard this, he was immediately annoyed, and said angrily: "Dugu Gongzi, you are completely unreasonable!"
Just as Dugu Qiannan wanted to say something more, suddenly there was a mournful cry from outside the crowd.
Who is so bold? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the emperor!
Everyone was shocked, and they all followed the prestige, but they saw the figure of a white brocade robe staggering towards him, was it Situ Chi, the king of Cheng, or who was it?
Dugu tilted his face and sank, and King Situ Chi finally rushed back!
"Falling Moon! My princess! This king is sorry for you! You died for this king, and you will be humiliated by digging up the grave after death! I am sorry for your husband! I am ashamed of my husband!"
Situ Chi ran to the coffin, holding the coffin and crying, which made everyone present stunned.
Situ Sheng looked at Situ Chi's appearance and frowned, yes, the eunuch beside him said, "Go, call King Cheng over!"
The eunuch Wan Ying immediately went over and said to King Cheng: "His Royal Highness King Cheng, please mourn, why did the emperor call you over?"
Situ Chi wiped a handful of tears at this time, got up and walked to Situ Sheng and knelt down and said: "Erchen knocks to see his father, long live my father, long live!"
"Flat!" Situ Sheng raised his hand and said, "Chi'er, why are you back?"
"Back to my father, the mob in Qingzhou has been completely wiped out, and the sons were about to go back to Beijing to report to their father, but they suddenly received a letter from home, saying that something had happened in the house, so they immediately rushed back! Father, what is going on? Why was the tomb of the moon being dug up? Who was so vicious that he actually wanted to dig up the grave?"
Situ Chi knelt down and cried again.
Situ Sheng waved his hand a little impatiently: "Okay, okay! Manly husband, what do you look like crying? There is a spy in your house, and you have the audacity to murder the emperor's heir! As the lord of a mansion, you are actually kept in the dark, how did you become a king?"
"Spy, where do you start?"
Situ Chi asked back in confusion.
"The affairs of your house, let the people in your house tell you!"
Situ Sheng glared at him angrily.
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Situ Chi's face, and then he turned around and walked in the direction of the people of Chengwangfu.
Xuanyuan Wuzhen was also nervous, but at this moment, seeing Situ Chi rushing back, his heart finally let go of a little.
At this moment, seeing him coming over with a gloomy face, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang!
"What the hell is going on? If the king is not in the palace, you will make a mess of the palace!"
Situ Chili swept his eyes and glared at Xuanyuan Wuzhen.
"The concubine is wronged!" Xuanyuan Wuzhen hurriedly said with an aggrieved face: "It's all that Concubine Qin's ghost! Do you know, my son, she killed it!"
"What are you talking about, make it clear!" Situ Chi was shocked when he heard this, and immediately asked.
"It turns out that Concubine Qin is a spy with strong martial arts! I don't know who instructed her to hide in the Chengwang Mansion and have been drugging me and the princess, which is why I and the princess's children are both gone!"
"Is this serious?" Situ Chi was extremely shocked, although Qin Sangyu had always been cold in the mansion, he only regarded her as a pretend, but he never thought that she would have a great background!
"Then can there be a fake? Concubine Qin was exposed, Wei Siming and Dugu Tiannan almost captured her alive, but they didn't expect the person behind her to appear and kill her! The father didn't say anything about this matter, so it was over! Several people involved in the case were beheaded, and it is estimated that Concubine Qin's background will no longer be found!"
"Slut! It turns out that this king has never had an heir, but she made it to herself!"
Situ Chi gritted his teeth with hatred, only regretting that he didn't see Qin Sangyu's true face clearly!
"Lord Wang!
Xuanyuan Wuzhen suddenly took a step forward, approached Situ Chi, and said in a low voice: "Before that slut died, he shook out the matter of the concubine and the prince's interrogation of the princess, so that he couldn't die and was heard by Dugu Tiannan, who came to the door!
"Opening the coffin and conducting the autopsy hinders the fortune of heaven, and my father even agreed?" Situ Chi was a little surprised.
"Weisheng Taifu said that today is an auspicious day, and there are no taboos. However, the father asked Dugu Tannan to make a military order, as long as there is no evidence, he will cut off his head!" Xuanyuan Wuzhen gloated.
"There is no evidence, you don't know what the person in the coffin is, you still dare to be so proud?" Situ Chi snorted coldly.
At the beginning, Xuanyuan Wuzhen privately threw Dugu Tianyue's corpse, did she think he didn't know?
"Lord Wang, don't worry, I have already asked my father to buy Guan Xiong, and he will definitely not find out the evidence!"
Xuanyuan Wuzhen looked left and right, and said in a low voice.
"I hope so!" Situ Chi glanced at Xuanyuan Wuzhen suspiciously, and then turned around and walked towards Situ Sheng.
