For a while, the expressions of everyone present were a little indescribable, and everyone knew that what kind of virtue the king of Anchang was and what kind of reputation he had outside, it was really not a good match.

As early as three years ago, when the princess of Xinjun first got married, there were rumors, and many people speculated that there was another hidden reason in this marriage. Otherwise, the family background is innocent and talented, how could the princess of the county who is of the same age want to marry a bad old man?

At that time, even the old county princess thought that the princess of the new county might have some hidden disease, but he didn't care if the bride could live a long life, just that he had added a beauty who could be in charge of the mansion and had a good family background.

It wasn't until later that the princess of the county bothered to manage the affairs of the house, and there was nothing she could do, and these rumors were also self-defeating after she gave birth to her son.

Li Yirong staggered to the king of Anchang County, and continued to add fuel and vinegar: "Dad, don't you understand? She liked my eldest brother at the time, and it was he who wanted to marry, so she happily married in, but she didn't expect to be put on the spot by her stepmother, marrying you old cucumber! Hahahaha! ”

The old king recalled the first night she married, and when he lifted her hijab, her eyes were full of shock and fear, and he was only so afraid as if she had no one else.

It turned out that she was afraid of him.

King Anchang looked at Li Mingchen suddenly, so does he know her intentions, and he also has affection for his stepmother? It's no wonder that after he married the princess of Xinjun, he didn't go home much and shrank in that small bureaucracy.

King Anchang moved his gaze to the lower abdomen of the princess again.

The doctor said she was two months pregnant, and the last time Li Mingchen went home was exactly three months ago.

Could it be?

He pinched the princess's chin and forced her to look at him: "Is what she said true?" Do you have ......"

Li Mingchen took the first step to speak, he lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down in front of the old county king, and his waist was straight.

"No, my son can vouch for his life! The two of us never crossed the line. We never saw each other separately after my mother and father got married, and she and I are now ...... There is only the love of mother and child. ”

The corners of Xie Hanci's mouth twitched twice, what kind of bloody plot is this, although she noticed that the princess of this county seemed to have a little subtle affection for her stepson.

But I didn't expect that Li Yirong would burst out such a shocking thunder!

King Anchang grabbed the bowls on the offering table and smashed them on Li Mingchen's body one after another, and the broken porcelain pieces cut bloody wounds on his arms and shoulders.

"Evil Barrier!"

After the old county king vented, he covered his chest, his body swayed from side to side, and he couldn't stand steadily, seeing that he was about to fall down in anger.

Seeing this, the princess of the county and Li Mingchen stretched out their hands at the same time, the two glanced at each other, Li Mingchen retracted his hand in disdain, and asked the princess of the county to help alone.

Seeing the two of them like this, the old county king only felt that his chest was tight, and his head was so green that grass was about to grow, and he didn't believe what Li Mingchen said just now.

", no need for you. Let Boa come over. ”

After a while, the concubine Bao'er was like the doctor, her temples were loose, and she looked like she had just been dragged up from the bed, she covered her mouth with her hands, yawned two big times, and dyed her ten fingertips with impatiens a rich bright red.

She twisted her body and pressed it towards the old county king, and when she saw the butler Wang staring at her half-exposed breasts, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, and pulled down the tulle shawl on her shoulders, her voice was shrill and long, dragging a long tail note.

"Junwang, where are you uncomfortable, go back to Bao'er's room, Bao'er will give you a button." Saying that, she helped the pale-faced old county king and walked out of the garden, and when Yi Huan saw that her father was gone, she also dragged away the still chattering expression in her mouth.

The princess of the county glanced at Li Mingchen deeply, and followed with the frightened housekeeper.

Feng Qian was tied by the hands of the two rough envoys and thrown into the firewood room, and only Li Mingchen, Xie Hanci and Qi Zuo were left at the table.

His face was as usual, and he seemed to be used to this kind of scene, so he hugged his fist at Li Mingchen.

"Master Li, I wonder if I can borrow a helper from the villain? This corpse drowned first, and then was buried directly into the soil, and the speed of decay may be faster than that of ordinary corpses, and the villain needs to speed up the action to dig her out. ”

Li Mingchen looked down at his arm that was still bleeding, and it seemed that he couldn't help at the moment.

Xie Hanci hurriedly raised his hand and said, "I can try!" ”

Li Mingchen sighed, his face full of helplessness, "Miss Xie, you've tried several times tonight, and it's time to rest." The fact that an autopsy is not very suitable for girls to do. If Ling Zun knows, I'm afraid that he will also think that our Anchang County Royal Mansion has neglected the guests, so let's let Steward Wang find someone tomorrow. ”

Xie Hanci stood directly beside him and hurriedly lifted his wooden box.

"Didn't Master Li hear it too, I can wait, this corpse can't wait. I also helped my father solve some cases in Shuzhou City on weekdays, and I have seen a lot of corpses, so I should have more experience than the subordinates in the house. ”

Although he didn't speak, he bowed slightly, which can be regarded as approval.

Seeing that both of them agreed, Li Mingchen didn't say anything anymore, but just told him to be careful and try to keep the whole corpse as much as possible.

He took out two pairs of gloves from the wooden box and handed them to Xie Hanci.

Xie Hanci wore it on his hand, feeling that it was light and abnormal, and it was very slippery to the touch, which could fit perfectly with the ten fingers without leaving a gap.

"What is this made of? I've never seen it in Shudi, and all the work we do there is to get started directly after cleaning our hands. ”

He also put on gloves and smiled a little proudly.

"This is a very thin raw silk, brushed with tung oil and more than a dozen secret materials. This glove was originally made by Xu Xing, Xu Chengzuo, his family has made five generations of work, and there is an ancestral booklet. I had a good relationship with him, and once he drank too much and insisted on showing me the booklet, and I happened to turn to this page, and I learned how to make this glove. ”

Xie Hanci looked at the glove, his eyes lit up, and asked, "So this Xu Qian is really powerful, what do you call it?" Can you tell me how to make this glove, and when I return to Shuzhou, I will also teach us how to make this glove. ”

He closed the wooden box and replied, "Xu Xing can be regarded as the leader in our industry, and his craftsmanship is naturally one of the best. My name is Chen Nian, you are just like Master Li, just call me Lao Chen. ”

Xie Hanci heard that he didn't mention the method of making gloves again, and he didn't feel disappointed, after all, this is a secret craft, and it is best to talk to her, if you are not willing to teach it, it is expected. Just today to assist him in the autopsy is a rare opportunity.

"I said you remember." While explaining to Xie Hanci, he did not stop the movements in his hands, his fingers lightly rolled over the eyelids of the female corpse, and said, "Remember, the eyes are slightly open, and the hands are not clenched into fists." The hair is tightly bunned, and there is mud and sand on the head and hairline. ”

Xie Hanci just wrote it down in this book, and he began to press and pat the abdomen of the female corpse again, only to see that the abdomen of the female corpse bulged, and it only bounced up again after holding it down for a long time.

"My belly is slightly swollen."

As he spoke, Chen Nian took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks from the side, the front end of the bamboo chopsticks was thin and pointed, he picked up the bamboo chopsticks, turned them lightly from the corpse's mouth and nose, and wiped them on a white cloth.

"The presence of water in the mouth and nose, and its small pale blood stains, are the test of drowning before death."

Xie Hanci hurriedly asked, "Wait, Old Chen." You haven't even opened your stomach, how can you see this? ”

Chen Nian saw that she was indeed dedicated to learning, and patiently explained: "If this person is overboard, then her hands and eyes are open, and her belly is slightly swollen. If this person is seeking death and throws herself into the water, then her eyes will be closed, her hands will be clenched into fists, and her abdomen will swell sharply. ”

He pointed to the white cloth that had just been wiped with bamboo chopsticks, and there was a pale blood stain on it.

"This person will struggle before he dies, and his qi will flow back and forth, so there will be water foam coming out of his mouth and nose, and if the shoes on her feet fall off during the struggle, there will also be mud and sand between her toes."

Xie Hanci hurriedly went to the feet of the female corpse, and sure enough, there was silt at the bottom of the lake between the toes.

Chen Nian added: "Don't look at the corpses in the water in the end, this drowning is also the drowning of the disease, the death of the disease is thrown into the water, beaten and killed, and then pushed into the water." Even if they are all looking for death, those who throw themselves into the well are not the same as those who throw themselves into the river, there are too many doorways here. ”

Xie Hanci nodded like pounding garlic, this act in the capital is really very different, and the cause of death can be judged through these details before the body is dissected.

After the two of them finished the autopsy and sorted out the grid, it was already dawn, Xie Hanci's stomach also gurgled out, and she glanced at the old man next to her embarrassedly.

Chen Nian didn't laugh at her, but bowed to her, "Thank you for your help today, I think you are really willing to learn this way, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can come to the Criminal Division, there are many corpses there, I can tell you more." ”

Xie Hanci hurriedly returned the salute.

"Today is my time to thank you. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely visit. Listening to the tone of the two, it was as if the backyard of the parents of the Punishment Division, whose parents were full of strange flowers and plants, who had corpses carried in every day.

Chen Nian lifted the wooden box, thought about it and took out a few pairs of gloves from the box again, put them all into the purse, moved gently, and handed the whole purse to Xie Hanci.

"Although I know how to make these gloves, it is a craft handed down from Xu Xing's family. Even if you want to learn, you should learn from him. ”

Xie Hanci took the purse, carefully put it in his arms, and thanked him seriously.

After bidding farewell to the old age, Xie Hanci walked along the path paved with white stones to the guest room, a pink butterfly landed on the branch of the begonia flower, she suddenly got playful, learned the boudoir lady in the book, took out the fan to flutter the pink butterfly.

The butterfly flew towards the east after being frightened, and Xie Hanci also followed, so he chased the butterfly half a pillar of incense, and the butterfly completely disappeared into the flowers.
