Seeing that Li Xuan gradually calmed down, Ming Jue seriously bowed his hand: "Everyone in the world says that my father is vain in cultivating the three religions and angering ghosts and gods, but Jue knows that my father is still a little interested in Confucianism, but he just looks at Buddhism, and the practice of Buddhism is very different from Taoism." ”

The inheritance of Confucianism and Taoism has been more than 1,200 years from the late Spring and Autumn period to the present.

For countless years, under the constant conflict and collision of the two ideas, they have become similar.

Therefore, the dual cultivation of Confucianism and Taoism can be done.

However, Buddhism has only been around for a few hundred years from the Western Han Dynasty to the present, and they are far from being connected with each other.

Not to mention that there are still three hundred years of Wuhu Chaohua in the middle, and the Buddhist classics are lost, that is, Master Xuanzang is better when he returns from his westward journey.

But how many years has it been since Xuanzang came back, and even Buddhism itself has not figured out these classics, where is the turn of the people of Taoism to talk about the integration of the three religions here.

"What's more." Ming Jue looked at the remains on the wooden board with some pity, and said softly: "There are sixty-four hexagrams in Yi, and the cultivation of the Yi family has the ability to be compatible and conflicting, and it is eclectic, how can it be so easy to go mad and die, and this is not like going mad. ”

Gone mad, bleeding from the seven orifices, and the meridians were distended, but now, although the face of the corpse could not be seen clearly, the corpse's death was not hideous.

"Since you suspect that he is not your father, why did you not agree to the request for a further autopsy?" Li Xuan looked at Ming Jue with some puzzlement.

Li Xuan was not the first person to have doubts, in fact, before he came, there were already people who had doubts about the cause of death of this corpse and asked for further autopsy and disembowelment.

If it is an ordinary person, it will be dissected if it is dissected, but this is the real person of the world, Ming Chongyan, and the dissection of his body requires at least the consent of the queen of heaven.

However, the queen did not agree directly, but pushed the matter to Mingju.

After all, this is his father, and being a son has the right to say no, especially when the queen of heaven gives him a chance.

"They only suspected that the body was not a suicide, and they did not doubt that it was the father." Mingqi's pale face brought a hint of helplessness, and finally shook his head and said: "If the direction of the investigation is wrong, the details will naturally be ignored, especially at that time, judging from the appearance, there is no problem at all, so even if this is not the father, Jue doesn't want to see him blasphemed by others; Now that the prince has arrived, everything is naturally in charge of the prince. ”

Mingqi didn't trust his previous work, not because he didn't trust their abilities, but because he didn't trust their focus.

This makes it easy to deviate.

Especially under such a delicate conspiracy.

Now that Li Xuan is here, he not only suspects that Ming Chongyan is not committing suicide, but even suspects that this person is not Ming Chongyan at all.

Mingju, who was already suspicious, immediately responded.

"You say he's not your father, but that's not enough." At this time, Zhao Gong suddenly spoke: "What you said is all your speculation, if you want to confirm whether this corpse is a real person in Shiyin, you also need more accurate evidence, if there is no new discovery in the autopsy, then this person, he is your father Ming Shiyin." ”

Mingjue's face was a little sad, he looked at the corpse on the wooden table, nodded and said, "The student dares to say that he is not his father, naturally there is a reason. ”

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at Ming Jue.

Even Li Xuan has found a lot of evidence now, but if he wants to completely nail this person to death is not Ming Chongyan, his evidence is not enough.

Ming Jue lowered his head and said softly: "Although my father is just an ordinary person, the Ming family also has a background after all, the jade pendant, the magic bead, the letter seal, the law book, the testament, and the silver tael and the bill of exchange carried on the body, all of which are not there, how can this person be the father of the family?" ”

After Ming Jue finished speaking, Li Xuan immediately turned his head to look at Zhao Gong: "Uncle, don't you have any of these things?" ”

"No, we all ignored it." Zhao Gong's face was a little ugly.

Although he had only been in charge of the case for a short time, he had never thought about it in this regard.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the others are not poured, but what about the official seal?

What Ming Chongyan should have carried at any time was a letter from the Xiangwangfu text, but there was none.

"It's not quite enough, but it's suspicious enough." Li Xuan looked at the corpse on the case and said softly: "Now, there is only one last step left. ”

An autopsy to determine whether this person is Ming Chongyan and how this person died, only an autopsy can be the most convincing.

"Are there any skeletal features in your father's body that are implicated in the bones, or are there any injuries?" Li Xuan looked at Ming Jue and made a final confirmation.

"Nope." Ming Jue bowed his head slightly and said: "Actually, Ming Jue also hopes that this is his father, and he also knows that his father is very likely to be unlucky, but the ancestral grave of the Ming family cannot be buried in a person who is not from the Ming family." ”

"Looks like we're going to have to do something." Li Xuan took a deep breath, looked at the door, and whispered, "Bring everything in." ”

"Whoa!" There was a promise outside the door, and then, Su Baotong walked in from the outside with a black box.

"What is this?" Zhao Gong looked at Li Xuan in surprise.

"It's just a little personal trick." Li Xuan looked at Jiang Xing and said, "Brother Jiang, please take Brother Mingxian down to rest, right now, I'm afraid it will take time." ”

"Whoa!" Jiang Xing glanced at Su Bao at the same time, gave him his hand, and then invited Ming Qi down.

……

"Uncle!" Li Xuan asked Zhao Gong.

Zhao Gong shook his head and said, "You do yours, I'll just watch it." ”

"Okay." Li Xuan nodded, Zhao Gong is not a novice, as the commander of the secret guard, there are definitely many people who die at his hands.

Li Xuan looked at the other side and said, "Let's start, come little by little, check inch by inch of skin, don't let go of slightly larger pores." ”

"The prince is saying...... Golden needles through the brain! He had already understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words, and his surprised face was full of ugliness.

Li Xuan nodded, looked at Zhao Gong, and said, "The golden needle runs through the brain, and a golden needle is inserted into the back of the person's head, which directly causes death...... After that, the corpse was placed in a dry and hot furnace...... When the water evaporates, the skin shrinks, and the pinholes are small and invisible, which is why there are no wounds on the body. ”

Zhao Gong nodded in disbelief and said, "This is what you thought of when you found that the body had been hidden in the medicine tripod. ”

"My nephew also has alchemy." Li Xuan nodded a little embarrassedly.

"But you don't ......succeed in alchemy," Zhao Gong waved his hand directly and said, "Okay, don't talk about this, let's start checking, do you want to start with the head first." ”

"No, let's start with the skin, all the dead points in the body, the heart, the five internal organs, all the places that are going to be fatal, first eliminate all that should be eliminated, and finally enter the brain." Li Xuan looked at the head of the corpse, and he was basically sure that it must be a golden needle through the brain.

There is a cover of hair, so that the wound is more difficult to find.

"Okay, listen to you, it's all going to begin." Zhao Gong stepped out of the way, and then watched Li Xuan and Qi Zuo change their clothes one after another and prepare to start.

Of course, everything is mainly hands-on, supplemented by Li Xuan,

……

"Lord Wang, I found it." He looked up at Li Xuan, and at the back of his head, his hands were stretched open, and a small hole larger than usual appeared in Li Xuan's eyes.

"The golden needle runs through, and the life is sent to the yin." Li Xuan sighed lightly and said, "Take hot water and boil your skin." ”

"Yes!" He immediately gave up his hand, and then walked away excitedly.

Zhao Gong looked at Li Xuan with some puzzlement and asked, "Da Lang, why don't you just cook it from the beginning?" ”

"This is mainly because I am worried that there are other wounds on the body that have not been noticed, and I will know if I look at it carefully." Li Xuan smiled and said, "The autopsy has the steps of the autopsy, and it can be found after all." ”

"So...... If you don't find anything, what do you do next? Zhao Gong asked curiously.

Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "Steamed bones." ”

Zhao Gong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "What have you learned from Xuanzang Zhenren over the years?" ”

Li Xuan smiled and didn't say anything.

He didn't dare to say that some people, since childhood, have followed their master and dissected a corpse by corpse in a mass grave, what is his matter.

What's more, he has been fighting on the battlefield all these years, and I don't know how many people have died at his hands, and this is really a small scene at the moment.

"Anyway, first of all, we have confirmed that the person in front of us, whoever he is, he died of murder." Li Xuan looked at Zhao Gong and said, "If the court still insists that this is Shiyin Zhenren, then Shiyin Zhenren died from others' murder." ”

"He's really not Ming Chongyan, so ......" Zhao Gong raised his head and stared at Li Xuan: "Da Lang, who is he?" ”

"Uncle, you're still so serious!" Li Xuan smiled a little bitterly, looked at Zhao Gong's serious expression, and had no choice but to say with a straight face: "Okay, let Uncle see the nephew's methods." ”

Li Xuan walked to the table on the side, and then opened the box on it, and immediately, a pile of things like mud was taken out and put aside, but a piece of rice paper and a brush were already placed in front of Li Xuan.

Walking in front of the corpse again, looking at the extremely thin skull, Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and then groped directly on his face.

With her eyes closed, Li Xuan walked back to the table, and then drew on rice paper.

A somewhat distorted face gradually appeared in Li Xuan's pen.

Zhao Gong was confused as he watched from the sidelines.

After a while, Li Xuan finally finished painting, looked at the avatar of the picture with a deep groan, closed his eyes and thought again, and finally Li Xuan picked up the "soil" on the side.

Zhao Gong wanted to ask what this was, but seeing Li Xuan's focused demeanor, he didn't bother him.

But it's not something too unusual, it's just clay.

The clay used in Jingdezhen to fire ceramics.

……

Time passed little by little, and finally, a head appeared under Li Xuan's hands.

Gradually, the head has five views.

Although it looks as distorted as the human face on rice paper, he has a face after all.

Soon, a clay sculpture that looked very much like a human head had appeared under Li Xuan's hands, but it was not over yet.

Li Xuan picked up the knife that was placed aside and began to trim it carefully.

A little pruning.

From time to time, he also walked to the head of the corpse, groped a little bit, and then went back to slowly revise it.

I don't know how long it took, a clear face appeared under Li Xuan's hands.

The face is slender, the nose bridge is high, the eyebrows are thick, but the eyes are a little weak, but the face is peaceful, and a little literary can be seen inexplicably.

Li Xuan changed his face again, then looked to the side and said, "Call Mingqi in." ”

"Squeak", I don't know when Mingqi, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, immediately pushed the door and walked in.

Looking at the human head on the table, he couldn't help but be stunned, but immediately saw clearly that it was a clay statue.

"How's it going, is the face familiar?" Li Xuan asked with his head sideways.

"I can't see it." After a slight pause, Ming Jue added another sentence and said: "But this person should have practiced "Yi", and his attainments are not low, otherwise he would not have been able to fool so many people, according to this investigation, he should be able to find out." ”

"Good." Li Xuan did not hesitate at all, and immediately drew it again on the rice paper, and a clear face had already appeared under his pen.

"Uncle, send it to the Ministry of Officials, let the Ministry of Officials compare, I believe it won't be long before the truth of this case can be revealed."
