Chapter 9: I thought of the King's Court Banquet
Mu Huaichuan saw that Shen Sitang came out alive, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and hurriedly greeted him: "What did Your Majesty say?" ”
Shen Sitang looked at him a little blankly, are they very familiar? Why did he seem to care so much about her?
Although she had doubts, she still answered truthfully: "Your Majesty ordered me to find out the real culprit who murdered the three princes within three days, otherwise I am afraid that my head will not be safe." ”
"Great!"
Well?
Is there any humanity? It's possible that she won't be able to protect her head, isn't that great?
Mu Huaichuan grabbed Shen Sitang's wrist: "Quick! The concubine of the third prince died, and the inspectorate couldn't find the cause of death, and now only you can solve the case! ”
Shen Sitang didn't have time to speak, he was dragged up by Mu Huaichuan and ran up.
"Right Yushi, you let go of me first, men and women don't kiss!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Mu Huaichuan urged Shen Sitang and said: "If the case of the third prince is not solved, the body will stink, and when the time comes, His Majesty will ask the Inspectorate for crimes, and it will be difficult for the Governor to do it in the court!" ”
The corners of Shen Sitang's mouth twitched, no wonder he came to deliver the message in person, it turned out to be for the governor, she thought that this kid had taken a fancy to her!
"What are you doing? Get on board! ”
Shen Sitang looked at him in embarrassment: "I... Can't ride a horse. ”
In her previous life, her short life was dedicated to anatomy, she didn't know everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and whenever an elder asked her to perform her talent during the New Year's holidays, she would come to me with a corpse, and she would give you an autopsy!
Mu Huaichuan stared at her in disbelief: "You can't ride a horse as a martial artist?" ”
Shen Sitang was confident: "My dish." ”
If it weren't for the urgency of time, he would definitely laugh at Shen Sitang.
"I'll ride with you, and you take the other horse back." In the latter sentence, Mu Huaichuan said to the officials on the side.
At the same time that the official should get down, Shen Sitang had already been pinched by the waist and lifted onto the horse.
Wasn't antiquity very feudal? It's immoral for a girl to show her arms, isn't Mu Huaichuan hurting her?
"Right Yushi, why don't you lead the horse and take me back to the Inspectorate?"
"Are you crazy?" He dignified the right imperial history of the Inspectorate, leading her horse?
"I mean, wouldn't that be bad? Men and women..."
"I don't mind, what do you mind?"
Shen Sitang opened his mouth slightly, who is the eldest daughter of Huanghua?
Mu Huaichuan took Shen Sitang all the way to the Inspectorate, and the officials had already carried the bodies of the three princes' concubines out of the dungeon and placed them in the sun.
Seeing this, Shen Sitang couldn't help but scold: "Do you think her corpse is not decomposing fast enough?" After speaking, she looked at Mu Huaichuan again: "If you don't want the body of the third prince to stink too quickly, fill the mourning hall with ice." ”
In her memory, there would be ice cubes in the Shen Mansion every midsummer, although she didn't know where it came from, but she knew that there were.
Mu Huaichuan looked at the officials on the side: "Do as she says." ”
Under Shen Sitang's arrangement, the body of the concubine was placed in a relatively cool room, and the concubine was obviously tortured, the skin and flesh were intertwined with blood marks, and there was no good meat on her body.
"Are you sure she wasn't killed?" Shen Sitang turned his head to look at Mu Huaichuan.
Mu Huaichuan replied quite confidently: "Are you questioning the proportions of our Inspectorate's torture hall? ”
Shen Sitang didn't say anything more, and directly began to explore her corpse, there had been an autopsy before, so the concubine's abdominal cavity had been opened, and the internal organs were not obviously damaged, and there were no symptoms of lesions, so the possibility of poisoning should be ruled out.
But she didn't die of poisoning, how did she die?
She was in a confined space at the time, surrounded by people from the Inspectorate.
Shen Sitang looked at Mu Huaichuan: "What symptoms did she have when she died?" ”
"Seven orifices bleed."
Shen Sitang immediately frowned: "What about blood?" ”
"The previous one was wiped off for the convenience of the autopsy."
Shen Sitang took a deep breath and didn't say anything.
The bleeding made her once again suspect the possibility of poisoning, and strangely enough, the woman did not react to poisoning.
Wait a minute! Poisoning doesn't have to be obvious!
Shen Sitang had a guess, so he ordered Mu Huaichuan on the side: "Bring the candle." ”
I don't know if it's because I'm used to being called or if I'm too eager to find out the truth and don't bother with her, Mu Huaichuan actually went to get the candle flame with all his heart.
The officials who watched the room were stunned, their right imperial history was so obedient!
Miss Shen is so powerful, this is something that they can't envy in their Zuo Yushi's life!
Taking the candle flame, Shen Sitang shone and shone at the clotted blood clots and internal organs of the corpse, and after a while, she had an answer.
"She died of poisoning!"
"Poisoned?" Mu Huaichuan retorted without thinking: "It's impossible, I have tested it, and there is no reaction to poisoning!" ”
Shen Sitang told Mu Huaichuan in a firm tone: "She is a chronic poison, and after being poisoned, someone regularly provided her with an antidote, but she didn't eat the antidote on time, so she died violently." ”
The blood of the concubine is lighter than usual, if she is still alive, it should be cherry red, although the organs have changed color due to the time of death and exposure to the sun, but if you look closely, you can still see that the overall color is light, originally it was cherry red, and even the muscles on her body are cherry red, which is enough to prove that she has been chronically poisoned.
If this is the case, the mastermind behind the scenes must have access to her, that is, either the three princes have people from the other side, or the murderer can often contact the three princes.
Shen Sitang analyzed with Mu Huaichuan, and Mu Huaichuan understood, saying that he would send someone to investigate and never let go of any possibility.
"Right Mishi, I only have three days, so I hope to wait for the results of your investigation tomorrow."
Mu Huaichuan felt a sense of pressure to be dominated, and frowned before replying: "I'll try my best." ”
Shen Sitang had no other way, she had no one under her, so she could only rely on the Inspectorate to find clues for her.
——
The sky was getting dark, and Shen Sitang finally came out of the inspectorate.
"Big sister!"
Shen Sitang heard a familiar voice, and just as she was about to raise her eyes, she was almost knocked to the ground by a strong force, she hugged the little chubby dun who rushed over and smiled: "Why are you here again?" Have you had dinner? ”
"No, my father said that I would wait for my eldest sister to go back and have a meal."
Hearing this, Shen Sitang realized something, she raised her eyes to look, and sure enough, they were all here.
In addition to her crying stepmother and weak stepsister, her cheap father also came, wearing the official uniform of the criminal department Shangshu, and was walking towards her with red eyes.
Although he is a cheap father, this father is still a bit of a cheating daughter, but her innate blood relationship still makes her moved.
"Daddy!"
"Qianning!"
Shen Mingyi hugged Shen Sitang across the little fat pier.
He was excited and moved to pat Shen Sitang's shoulder, and said in a trembling voice: "Dad's good daughter, Dad knows that you have the ability, and Dad knows!" ”
Shen Mingyi couldn't cry and couldn't speak.
Shen Sitang also patted him on the shoulder, and said with tears in his eyes, "Dad, let's go home." ”
"Well... Good... Go home... Go home! ”
Shen Sitang rode in the luxurious carriage of the Shen Mansion and returned to the mansion that had just been raided this morning, the emperor pardoned Shen Mingyi and returned the money in full, it is said that only the old hen that could lay eggs was missing.
The reason why Shen Sitang knew such a trivial matter was because Shen Cao's was angry about it, and when he returned home for dinner, Shen Cao's scolded those officials more than once for being inhumane, and even ate the chickens that could lay eggs in their family, and said that the old hen laid at least three eggs a day, just enough for the three of them to eat one fresh egg a day.
In her memory, she did eat eggs for two or three years, so the old hen has a lot of credit, hateful official!
At night, Shen Sitang sat on the edge of the window, looking at the stars and moon in the sky, and couldn't help but think of her richest parents, I don't know what happened to them in that world? Will you miss her so much? Wouldn't it be sad?
It's all ridiculous, what will she do in the future? Will she be able to go back?
The world is so cruel that she will die at any moment!
When Shen Sitang was thinking wildly, he suddenly thought of what Mu Huaichuan had said to her before.
'Perhaps... His Highness the Sixth doesn't want to kill you. ’
