Chapter 360: The Cause of Wei Guogong's Death
When Zhao Quan's father and son, Ling Ruohui and others came to Wei Guogong's grave together, they happened to see two people, "Grandmother? Uncle? Why are you here? Ling Ruoyi wondered.
"I'm coming to see my old friend." Immediately, the old lady's eyes looked at the father and son of the Zhao family and said, "You...... Is it Xiao Zhao? ”
Obviously, Zhao Quan was also very surprised when he saw the old lady, and quickly stepped forward to respectfully ask for peace: "The little one is the old lady, the old lady is blessed." ”
"Hehehe, it's so good, I didn't expect to see you here today, I haven't seen you for so many years, I almost can't recognize you." The old lady said with a smile.
"The old lady is worried, the old lady is still tough all these years."
"Okay." The old lady said with a smile. When her eyes looked at Zhao Yingjun, she was stunned for a moment, this young man is so familiar, he seems to have seen it somewhere, but he just can't remember it.
"Steward Zhao, this son is ......," the old lady pointed at Zhao Yingjun and said.
"Oh, old lady, this is my son, handsome." Then he turned his head and said to Zhao Yingjun: "Come and see the old lady." ”
"Handsome has seen the old lady." Zhao Yingjun bowed and saluted.
"Your son? It's so much like ......" Before the old lady could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Quan.
"Old lady, since the death of Wei Guogong, the family has suffered another accident, after taking care of the funeral of Wei Guogong's family, I left the capital with my son and went to live in the south for a few years before coming back. But every time I came to sweep the tomb of Wei Guogong, I would see that the stone tablet was wiped clean, and there were many sacrifices around, so I thought that I must have come here to worship with Wei Guogong's friends. ”
"Yes, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, after the death of Wei Guogong, he was ransacked by robbers, and the poor family of hundreds was all killed overnight, and it is still an unsolved case." After finishing speaking, the old lady was already in tears.
"Mother, don't be sad, it's been so many years, I believe that this matter will come to light one day, and Wei Guogong must be watching from the sky, watching the day when those bad guys are caught."
"Yes, Skynet is restored and not leaked, and today I am here to perform an autopsy on Wei Guogong." Ling Ruoyi said lightly.
What? Autopsy? After so many years, Wei Guogong has become a pile of dry bones, what else can be detected? It's just another joke. Besides, the opening of the coffin and the autopsy is disrespectful to the ancestors, how can such a thing be done. This Yi'er is really too ignorant.
"Yi'er, this coffin autopsy is a great disrespect to the ancestors, you can't do this." Zhen Guogong stopped him loudly. This niece of his own, everything is good, just a little, too bold and reckless, this is all to blame on King Qi, he connived.
"Yes, yes, Yi'er, listen to your uncle, don't mess around." The old lady also agreed.
"Maternal grandmother, uncle, I came with Steward Zhao today to give Wei Guogong an explanation, thinking that he is a famous god of war, how can he not think so much, since he can hand over the military power for so many years, he will not be counted so much, if this happens to him, unless someone instigated it in front of him or it was caused by drugs."
"What do you mean by this that Wei Guogong was killed by someone? This is impossible, the Patriotic Mansion is all his own people, how can anyone harm his family. ”
Hearing Zhen Guogong say this, Ling Ruoyi suddenly felt that her uncle was really cute and simple. A huge Guogong Mansion, maybe there are many eyeliners on other mansions, she is a loyal servant in front of her, and she has seen the stabbing in her back in her previous life, so she doesn't believe in these so-called loyal servants at all.
"Uncle, a few days ago, when you and your cousin were practicing swords in the garden, you accidentally stretched your arm, but is there such a thing?" Ling Ruoyi said lightly.
"Yes, how do you know? Did your cousin tell you? Zhen Guogong smiled lightly. He didn't expect that such a trivial matter would be known by Ling Ruohui. He has been hiding it from others, and even his mother doesn't know about it.
"No, it wasn't my cousin who told me, but someone from my uncle's mansion who spread the news. It's just that I happened to hear it. ”
"My subordinates? How is this possible? Zhen Guogong looked incredulous. Most of the people in his house have followed him for many years, and many of them are even generations of minions. And the housekeeper in his house is very dedicated, and people who are not innocent will not be recruited into the house to be subordinates.
"Uncle, not only in your mansion, but even in King Qi's mansion there are other people's eyeliners, but we all pretend not to know. Therefore, there is no secret in anyone's house. ”
Hearing this, Zhen Guogong nodded, there will be news leaks in the palace like an iron wall, not to mention his small Guogong Mansion, it seems that this niece of his is really hidden, and he doesn't have to worry about her kindness being used in the future, her kindness is only for good people, and for evil people, she will turn into a little witch and let them run away.
Zhenguo Gong finally agreed to Ling Ruoyi's public coffin examination of Weiguo, but after all, this is to open the coffin of the ancestors, which is somewhat disrespectful, no matter how you say it, you should ask Mr. Yin and Yang to choose a day first, and then find a few people to respectfully carry it out.
"Uncle, as I said just now, if it is known that I am going to investigate the affairs of Wei Guogong back then, there will definitely be twists and turns in the autopsy, so I didn't bring too many people, just take a few maids out of the house. In this case, those who have done something bad will think that I am taking the maid to collect medicine. ”
"What a move, you little ghost." Taijun said with a smile.
"So, does grandmother agree with Yi'er's decision?" Ling Ruoxuan hugged the old lady's arm and said coquettishly.
"Agreed, agreed, a few family members from the Zhenguo Mansion will also give you a hand, or a few of you, I don't know when I will make trouble."
With the old lady's words, let alone the coachman, even the prince of Zhenguo dug people's graves by himself.
After digging for more than an hour, I finally saw the coffin, the coffin was very ordinary, not the ordinary golden silk nanmu used by the grandfather of the country, just the ordinary willow wood. This is also the feng shui treasure that Steward Zhao has chosen with great effort.
After all the coffins were lifted, Ling Ruoyi distributed a small medicine bag to everyone, "This medicine bag is to prevent corpse poison, Wei Guogong has been dead for many years, buried in the ground, there must be a lot of bacteria and toxins, everyone must be cautious, don't leave the medicine bag." Ling Ruoyi instructed lightly.
Everyone was majestic, who dared to take the medicine bag in their hands at will, and stuffed it into their arms one after another, for fear that a mistake would cost them their lives. When the coffin was opened, all that was left was a pile of dry bones and a long sword. I think this sword must have accompanied Wei Guogong for many years.
"Grandpa Guo, the villain bothered you today, in order to prevent the traitor who harmed you from continuing to get away with it, if you have a spirit in the sky, bless us to find out who harmed you quickly." After finishing speaking, Zhao Quan knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
Seeing his father like this, Zhao Yingjun couldn't help but want to step forward to persuade him, but before he could speak, he listened, "Yingjun, kneel down, kowtow to Wei Guogong, and kowtow hard." ”
Mu'er and Mengchun on the side didn't understand, even if Wei Guogong was kind to him at the beginning, if you buried their whole family, you would be benevolent and righteous, so why can't you let it go for so many years.
But Ling Ruoyi wouldn't think so, just now, her grandmother looked at Zhao Yingjun's eyes, and that look was clearly like seeing the old man, if she was the same age as her grandmother, except for Concubine Fenggui's mother and the Divine Dragon King in the court, there was no one who could be the same age as her grandmother, if there was, it was just dry bones lying here.
Dry bones lying here? An idea flashed through Ling Ruoyi's mind, he originally felt that this Zhao Quan and Zhao Yingjun were not at all alike, if they were father and son, no one would believe them. Unless......
Thinking of this, Ling Ruoyi decided to verify the idea in his heart, after all, there are many outsiders now, and some words are not suitable for asking his grandmother.
As soon as Zhao Yingjun stood up, Ling Ruoyi picked up a stone on the ground and hit it towards the popliteal socket on his leg. Ling Ruoyi stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Yingjun's arm, which was to ask him to stretch his arm to bandage him, but in fact, there was another purpose.
Blood flowed out along his arms and fingers, dripping on Wei Guogong's dry bones, and the blood was instantly absorbed by the dry bones, Zhao Quan thought that Zhao Yingjun's behavior angered Wei Guogong, but the corners of Ling Ruoyi's lips hooked, and sure enough, Zhao Yingjun's identity was doubtful.
"Don't worry, it's not a strange phenomenon, it's that dry bones are buried in the ground, and after the blood drips up, it is irradiated by the sun, and the blood just evaporates."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the heroic soul of the Duke of Wei Guo would not be dispersed, and the person who was still sweating for Zhao Yingjun was also relaxed at this time.
Ling Ruohui carefully inspected the remains of Wei Guogong and found that there was a faint cyan color on the dry bones, which was really difficult to find if he didn't look closely.
"You see, there is a faint layer of cyan on Wei Guogong's dry bones, it seems that Wei Guogong did not die of illness, but was poisoned."
"Poisoned? Princess, are you telling the truth? But the imperial doctor didn't find out that Wei Guogong was poisoned, could it be, could it be because of the handsome blood dripping on it? ”
"No, blood doesn't affect the color of the bones." Ling Ruoyi explained carefully.
"So, could it be that the bones have changed due to being buried underground for many years and being affected by the underground soil?" Zhen Guogong asked his own question.
"No, the corpse is stored in a willow coffin, and there is a medicine to prevent insects and ants, and it will definitely not change because of the erosion of the underground soil, I am sure, Wei Guogong died of slow poison."
"Slow poison? What kind of poison would that be? Zhao Quan said hurriedly.
"Five stones." Ling Ruoyi replied lightly.
"What? Five stones? Everyone exclaimed in unison......
