164 Chung Family Rings
Of course, Chi Si is not a forensic doctor, and by looking at a white skeleton, he can analyze his gender, height and weight, facial features, and time of death, at best, he can analyze the cause of death.
However, Chi Si came closer, and lightly faded a ring from the hand held high by the white bones, looked at it carefully, and nodded: "It should be that the Zhong family is not wrong, I remember this ring, when my father and emperor laid down the country, he was a meritorious minister, in addition to the title and Danshu iron coupons, he made a few rings, and gave them to several courtiers who had saved his life. ”
Chi Si explained that because of the rebellion of the nobles of the previous dynasty, some people committed a major crime and took the Danshu iron coupon to avoid death, and because the previous dynasty continued the system of the previous dynasty, an iron coupon could be exempted from death three times, and the descendants could use it, as a result, the nobles had nothing to fear no matter what they did, so that the country was shaken and the world was in turmoil.
Originally, what other serious crimes could be punished by death except rebellion? In the noble family, there are some common crimes such as stealing, stealing, adultery, and adultery, all of which can be fined, and as for beating people's lives...... So when Taizu established the dynasty, he made it clear that the Danshu iron coupon was only used for ID cards, and there was no advance function of credit cards, but there were indeed some courtiers with high merit, such as the Zhong family, except for a lame grandson in Xingsi, the rest of the children and grandchildren were all folded on the battlefield, and they saved Taizu's life several times, which can be said to be immortal.
Of course, the Zhong family is dying, and it is impossible to commit any more major crimes, but other families have also saved their lives for the great ancestor, and if they really want to commit a crime, it is a bit inhumane to say that they will kill them all.
So Taizu made this ring, how many pieces in total, and who was given it were archived in the palace, and the records were clear, and if there were really children and grandchildren, they could avoid death once. Please note that it is not a batch at a time, that is to say, if someone really commits a crime, it can only be used by one person, it is a one-time consumable, at most, it is to leave a bloodline to survive, and it is not necessary to think about it if you take the Danshu iron coupon as in the previous dynasty.
Chi Si recognized this ring, so he felt that this white bone was the blood and bones of the Zhong family, because the number of Taizu's rings was very small, and no one had used it for the time being after giving it away, so it had become a symbol of the power of several noble family heads, and I hadn't heard that anyone had lost it, so now that he appeared in the Zhong family, how could this person be inseparable from the Zhong family.
In this way, it was preliminarily determined that the identity of "Hello White Bone" should be the fourth master of the Zhong family, but why would a fourth master die in his own lake, Zhong Xiaoxin thought.
The location of "Hello White Bone" is located in the center of the lake, if it weren't for Zhong Xiaoxin's ability to see things in the lake, ordinary people would not be able to find him if they couldn't see anything one meter away from the water. To say that the back garden lake of Ji'an Hou Mansion is not a small pond, there is always an area of 50.60 hectares, and the water depth of 30.40 meters is also certain, and the small half of Daming Lake, if he falls into the water, he will never struggle all the way from the shore to the middle of the lake, if it is rowing to play, then there is no one around? There is a boat floating on the lake, and you should know that he has fallen into the water, so there are only two truths.
Either he himself drowned with cramps while swimming in the middle of the night, or he was killed and rowed and thrown into the middle of the lake. In terms of realistic possibilities, Zhong Xiaoxin feels that the second possibility is true.
However, Chi Si quickly snorted again.
Because the ring was found from the white bones, it was preliminarily determined that this person was the descendant of the Zhong family who had disappeared, so Chi Si was suddenly full of enthusiasm for the autopsy.
It doesn't matter if the underwater visibility is not good, it's okay if the line of sight is not far, Chi Si lay on the body of the white bone, inch by inch next to the white bone for inspection, and finally he found that there was something strange about the white bone.
There was a small arrow in the white bone body, which was stuck between the spine and the sternum, for so many years, no one had moved this corpse, and the small arrow had been stuck like this.
"This man didn't even drown...... Instead, he died from a sharp weapon piercing his chest. Chi Si said to Zhong Xiaoxin. "Could it be that this person died in an assassination and was dumped here?"
This can be regarded as a response to Zhong Xiaoxin's second conjecture, so Zhong Xiaoxin nodded and said: "It seems that this is the case, someone uses sharp arrows to ...... Hey...... No, the arrow was fired from the front. ”
Zhong Xiaoxin stopped halfway through speaking, because his sight and hearing in the water were better than Chi Si's, Zhong Xiaoxin had seen the small arrow long before Chi Si, the small arrow was stuck in the corpse of "Hello White Bone", Zhong Xiaoxin saw it very clearly, it was the arrow towards the spine, and the tail of the arrow towards the sternum, that is to say, this person was not assassinated, but was shot by the perpetrator in the chest, which was clearly killed, that is to say, this fourth master is likely to know the murderer?
But everyone said that there was no sign before the disappearance of the fourth master, and after he fell asleep one day, everyone could no longer find him, since they searched all over the house and said that they could not find it, naturally there was no place to leave bloodstains. Could it be that this fourth old man was invited here by someone he knew, and suddenly shot to kill and sink the corpse? The other party rowed away again, and naturally no one could have thought of it. However, at that time, didn't the Zhong family say that the master had already left the old marquis Zhong and the fourth grandson? Because the person who harmed him must at least be the person he trusts the most and is defenseless, could it be that Old Marquis Zhong can still break himself off?
Zhong Xiaoxin was also puzzled, she was still a little afraid of the appearance of the skeleton of "Hello White Bone", so she was also interested, kicked here, kicked there, and wanted to find some other clues, but she didn't expect that she would really turn something out.
"What is this?" Zhong Xiaoxin found a small oily leather bag under your hello white bones, and there were some tools scattered in it, including a dagger and a small shovel, a flying claw rope, and a few things that Zhong Xiaoxin couldn't understand, so he handed it to Chi Si.
Chi Si looked at it, shocked, it was difficult to open his mouth to look at Zhong Xiaoxin, Zhong Xiaoxin looked back inexplicably, "Do you know? Chi Si hesitated and said, "It's a fish bladder." "Not one, but more than a dozen, and each of them is very big, it looks like a big fish that has been raised for more than ten years, that is to say, it means that there are more than a dozen of Zhong Xiaoxin's lives in this bag, and he is afraid that Zhong Xiaoxin will be sad. Chi Si has known that Zhong Xiaoxin is a fish fairy, not to mention that he has never eaten lake fish and sea fish, and even stopped seafood such as shrimp and scallops.
