Ji Xia's eyes were wide open, almost unable to believe his ears.

"When I saw you performing an autopsy on Guan Bingchen at the Guan family, I knew that you were sent by God to help me find the truth!" Yang Liu looked at Ji Xia, and there seemed to be sparkling in his apricot eyes.

"You said that Guan Bingchen killed your father, there is no evidence, but there is evidence?" Lord Lin asked.

"Before my father died, he told me that it was a thief surnamed Guan who beat my father to death! And, as I saw with my own eyes, my dad was all wounded! Ask the adults to be the masters of the people! ”

She almost choked up and finished talking about it, and the people present sighed, and even worse, shed tears of sympathy.

"Cough, Guan Bingchen is dead now, you have revenge, what's the point of talking about this? Besides, you can't do more with your words alone! Lord Lin waved his hand and refused.

"No, my lord, the folk girl only asks for revenge, in order to comfort her father's soul in the sky, if the adult does not believe it, you can perform an autopsy!"

"No! Your father has been dead for so long! I'm afraid it's all rotten, right? How can it still be tested! ”

Master Lin thought to himself: I am afraid that this corpse has already decomposed, and only bones remain, Yang Liu's request is really inappropriate, so he rejected her immediately.

"You can have a bone examination", Ji Xia thought for a moment and proposed: "If it is killed, there must be scars on the bones." ”

Examine...... Bone? Exhumation? This matter is really crazy, Rao is Lord Lin has been an official for many years, and it is unheard of.

Lord Lin looked at the woman with a delicate face in front of him with strange eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Examine ...... Bone...... As far as I know, no one has ever done this! ”

"I can." Ji Xia walked to the front of the hall with his head held high and said undoubtedly.

Lord Lin was intimidated by Ji Xia's momentum, and suddenly felt that his hairs stood on end. Although I heard that this woman was good at autopsy, I was still hesitant in my heart: what is the origin of this woman, how can she even know about the bone examination? I'm afraid that she has been engaged in the autopsy business for many years, and she doesn't have the skills and courage she has!

Lord Lin's eyes rolled around, as if he was looking somewhere, thought about it for a while, and then agreed.

It was a sunny day to examine the remains. In addition to Lord Lin, Gao Han, Jin Zesen and others, there were also several neighboring counties who came to inquire. These few servants, are from the industry for many years, experienced, experienced people, but also in the ancient books to see the secret method of bone examination, but never really test the bones, I heard that there is a female in the capital to examine the corpse, have to the local county officials to leave, have to see with their own eyes, to find out.

Ji Xia and others, led by Yang Liu, came to her father's tomb.

Under the instruction of Lord Lin, several catchers all followed Ji Xia and let her dispatch.

Although the ancient funeral industry is very different from modern cremation, and can preserve human remains relatively completely, it is also limited by instruments and equipment, and Ji Xia cannot use high technology to identify the cause of death of this skeleton, so he has to follow the ancient method contained in Song Ci.

I saw Ji Xia walking around the grave of Yang Liu's father Yang Mingen a few times, measuring the length and width of the grave with her footsteps, and then with an order, several catchers picked up the floating soil under her guidance. It didn't take long for the entire coffin to be revealed.

Ji Xia bowed earnestly three times to Yang Mingen's coffin, and then asked several catchers to work together to open the coffin. A well-preserved corpse was exposed.

Ji Xia only glanced at it from a distance, and in fact, he had already roughly judged the cause of death. But why does Willow ...... Ji Xia didn't understand why.

The doubts in my heart are hard to dispel, but the movements in my hands do not stop.

I saw that she washed the bones with clean water, and ordered someone to dig a hole in the cellar.

By the time the cellar, which was one foot long, three feet wide, and two feet deep, was finished, she had threaded the bones with twine in the shape of the human skeleton structure, and put them on a mat.

After extinguishing the open flame, she picked up a small altar of good daughter red and sprinkled it in the cellar.

She then poured five litres of sour vinegar into the cellar. Taking advantage of the heat, the catchers carried the bones into the cave and covered them with straw mats.

After doing this, Ji Xia was already sweating profusely.

"Next, we'll just have to wait for him for two hours."

This operation couldn't help but surprise everyone present.

Jin Zesen quietly tugged at Gao Han's sleeve and whispered in his ear: "Where did she learn this from the use of high-grade daughter red 'steamed bones'?" ”

"Didn't you say that she was an ordinary peasant girl......" A gust of wind hit, Jin Zesen touched his arm, goosebumps, looked at Ji Xia, and stopped talking.

As he spoke, he pondered Gao Han's expression, and he really wanted to see something on Gao Han's face. I saw that Gao Han's face did not change, and he shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

He knew that the second half of what Jin Zesen didn't say should be: "Who peasant girl knows this!" ”

He looked at Ji Xia resting under the shade of the trees in the distance, and his curiosity about her was a little more, and he recalled how many times he got along with her, both in knowledge and in heart, which were very different from the women he knew.

In this era, ordinary girls have never known how to teach each other husband and children, and their skills are nothing more than embroidery, and there are even fewer who can read and write, not to mention chanting poems and dancing and writing. And she, Ji Xia, is also proficient in autopsy and bone examination, which men may not be proficient in! There are too many mysteries on her body, which people can't help but want to explore.

Several people waited for a while, seeing that the ground in the pit should also be cooled, Ji Xia ordered someone to take the straw mat and carry out the bones. In the bright direction, Ji Xia covered the bones with a red oil umbrella and carefully examined every inch of the bones.

Not long after, Ji Xia announced her conclusion to everyone: "The deceased died of poisoning." Combined with Miss Yang's confession, it can be inferred that Father Yang ......"

Ji Xia paused, glanced at Yang Liu a little unbearably, and said again: "Father Yang should have committed suicide by taking poison." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked!

"It can't be! I saw with my own eyes that my father came back from the dog thief surnamed Guan with scars all over his body! Yang Liu retorted.

"There are no bones on the body of the deceased!"

"Miss Ji, the official is curious, how did you see it?" Seeing Yang Liu's resolute attitude, Lord Lin also had doubts about Ji Xia's test results.

"If there is a wound on the bone, there will be red lines and a faint shade of blood, and where the bone is broken, there will be a blood halo on both ends of the bone. If the bones with traces of blood halo are examined in the sun, if they are ruddy, it can be inferred that they were beaten before death. ”

Ji Xia pointed to the bones of the corpse and continued to the crowd: "The bones of the deceased are blackened all over the body, among them, the throat is the deepest, and it can be concluded that the deceased died of poison. I originally guessed whether it was forcibly poured poison, but you see, there are no traces of blood everywhere on the bones of the deceased, which shows that he took the poison on the premise of voluntarily, and combined with Yang Liu's confession, it can be inferred that Yang Mingen committed suicide. ”

After hearing this, Yang Liu felt that the five thunders were on the top, holding his forehead, he almost fainted on the spot, and muttered: "This is impossible, this is impossible!" I saw my father covered in wounds! ”

It's really weird! It is said that Guan Bingchen has been killed by Yang Liu, she has no need to frame her, even if Guan Bingchen is still alive, she can't joke about her father's death!

Ji Xia put his hands behind his back and circled around the bones a few times. She couldn't figure out what was wrong.

You can't make a mistake in your own inspection. It is expected that what Yang Liu said is also true!

Well, there is only one possibility!

If all impossibilities are eliminated, then the last one, even if it is impossible, must be the truth.

That is, Yang Mingen lied!

Thinking of this, Ji Xia said to Yang Liu: "Your father committed suicide by taking poison, and I will never be wrong." As for the scars you mentioned...... I don't know, have you ever heard of zelkova? ”

Hearing this, Yang Liu raised his eyes.

Ji Xia verified his conjecture from her eyes and nodded to her.

The light in Yang Liu's eyes dimmed instantly. She understood, Ji Xia asked the meaning of this sentence, and her face suddenly became like ashes.

Lord Lin watched Ji Xia and Yang Liu play dumb riddles, and couldn't help asking, "Miss Ji, this official doesn't understand what this beech tree is used for, I don't know, can you answer your questions for this official?" ”

Ji Xia glanced at Yang Liu, sighed and said, "Yang Mingen used beech bark to mash it and put it on his body to disguise it as a scar and frame Guan Bingchen!" ”

"What!" There was disbelief in everyone's eyes. How can someone use their life to frame another person! It's also incredible.

However, Yang Mingen did just that. He framed Guan Bingchen with death, and let his daughter avenge himself!

His daughter, Yang Liu, has been burdened with this hatred for three whole years! In order to take revenge, she committed herself to the god stick of the Xuanjing Daoist, and through the mouth of the Xuanjing Daoist, she asked Guan Bingchen, who was superstitious about feng shui numerology, to take her as a concubine, and after approaching Guan Bingchen, she single-handedly created Guan Bingchen's death!

"Actually......" Ji Xia wanted to say and stopped.

In fact, if Yang Liu said that she didn't know the consequences of the combination of the two things, she would definitely be able to escape responsibility. But after seeing Ji Xia's autopsy skills, she chose to surrender herself, just to let her dead father get revenge!

Ji Xia looked back at the bones, tears flashed in her eyes, and she restrained herself from letting the tears fall. I wonder how Yang Mingen will feel when he knows what his daughter has done for him, and whether he will regret his original choice?

Yang Liu confessed to the murder of Master Guan, so the verdict came very quickly.

The last time Ji Xia saw Yang Liu was on death row. At this time, Yang Liu, holding his knees, sat on the innermost side of the cell, facing the wall, without saying a word. The wide prison uniform was worn on her, making her appear even thinner. Her hair was messy, like a bundle of dry straw.

Ji Xia asked her, "Do you regret it?" ”

After a while, she turned around, the whole person was dumbfounded, her eyes no longer had the same look as before, as if she was sucking herself, and said slowly: "Do I regret it?" ”
