The crowd looked behind them and found a wooden stretcher in the open space outside the yamen.

On the stretcher, there was a dead body.

Although the corpse was covered with a white cloth, the stench emitted made everyone who was far away also cover their noses.

The cowardly, already frightened, screamed and fled in all directions.

Li Yuanbu's face turned blue with anger, and he slapped the startled wood twice: "Don't make a noise!" ”

scolded Master Zhang again: "Many people are here, how can you bring corpses and frighten the people!" ”

Master Zhang said loudly: "My lord! I want to do an autopsy on the spot! “

There was another scream on the spot, and some people even fell down in fright.

"Nonsense, nonsense!"

Li Yuanbu scolded angrily: "Before the white cloth was uncovered, it had already frightened the people into fleeing in panic, if the autopsy was conducted on the spot, wouldn't it frighten everyone!" “

Master Zhang didn't insist, and when he saw that Li Yuanbu disagreed, he said: "My lord, you can move the body to the back of the hall for an autopsy, but please watch it with the bold people!" “

As soon as Master Zhang's words fell, Li Yuanbu just wanted to open his mouth to reprimand a few words, when he heard a woman's voice and said loudly: "My lord, I am willing to be a witness and conduct an autopsy together." ”

Li Yuanbu raised his eyes and looked-

Miss Zhao Family!

As soon as Zhao Sichen spoke, everyone was stunned at first, and they all looked at her.

When he saw that it was a young girl, she suddenly became a little bold and restless, and she also said, "My lord, we are also willing to be a witness." ”

Qiao'er's parents knelt and shouted, one moment it was "Qiao'er, you died so miserably", and the other time it was "Lord Qingtian is the master of the people".

There was a commotion everywhere for a while.

Li Yuanbu was so fried that his brain hurt, and he was so angry that he slapped a few times in a row.

"Adjournment! Carry the body to the back hall! ”

……

……

Since the hall is closed, it will not be lively and beautiful.

dealt with Zhao Sichen, Wu Qian, and Master Zhang followed to the back hall, and the other people who were coaxing also wanted to go with them, but they were pushed and driven away by the officials.

There was a boo at the door of the yamen.

The common people did not dare to fight with the officials, so they could only leave in a huff.

But no matter what, the maid of the Hou Mansion of Lelin was poisoned by the Zhao family's pastries, and it soon spread among people.

Almost everyone who watched the Yamen trial at the scene was sure that Gan Qi, the guy in the Zhao family's pastry shop, was wronged.

"Otherwise, why would that maid be asked?"

"It's still a lie, saying that the body has been burned, but in fact, it is well placed outside the gate."

"Ouch, this is terrible, I could see it clearly, and there was ...... under the white cloth."

"I guess there's something greasy in there."

"As soon as I saw the looks on the faces of the three witnesses, I knew they were lying! When asked by the master, they were all dumbfounded. Can't answer at all! ”

"Poor little brother from the Zhao family's pastry shop, he was beaten so badly......"

"I can't stand up, it's terrible!"

"The government just wants to bend into a trick......"

"Ouch, that's not a good thing to say......"

……

……

The stretcher with the body was pulled into a handyman room in the backyard.

Li Yuanbu naturally refused to go into the house.

He stood in the courtyard and looked up at the sky.

The face is not very good.

None of them.

It stinks!

Originally, at the gate of the yamen, when the white cloth was covered, the smell had already wafted to the public court.

Now I went into the backyard and uncovered the white cloth......

Li Yuanbu frowned and couldn't wait to leave everything behind and return to his house.

He doesn't care about how this person died, and there will naturally be people to break it up in the future.

In his opinion, this single case is either won by the eldest princess or the third prince.

Anyway, they are all royal children.

As for the nobles, they are naturally able to stay out of the matter.

The dead and wounded were just a few subordinates.

As long as he Li Yuanbu is left and right, no matter who wins, he has to be grateful to him.

It's just that......

If you want others to be grateful to him, this gesture will naturally be in place.

Li Yuanbu squinted his eyes and secretly glanced inside the room.

Zhao Sichen stood beside Master Zhang, like Master Zhang, covering his nose with a fine linen, and carefully watching Master Zhang examine the body.

He was distracted again, staring at the person who was making autopsy records on the side, so as not to make a mistake.

Wu Qian originally followed the house, but as soon as the white cloth was lifted, he withdrew into the courtyard again.

followed Li Yuanbu, looking up at the sky-

Look up, it's windy.

The air is also fresher.

Li Yuanbu was a little worried.

Why don't these two people leave?

If these two masters are gone, he won't have to stay here.

……

……

About an hour later, Zhao Sichen and Master Zhang cleaned their hands, took off the fine linen cloth covering their noses, rubbed the ginger, and walked out of the miscellaneous house.

Zhao Sichen and Master Zhang glanced at each other, and Zhao Sichen nodded.

Master Zhang turned his head and motioned to the official on the side to hand over the autopsy record.

"My lord, Qiao'er's body has been examined below......

Before Li Yuanbu could speak, Wu Qian asked first: "Can she eat the pastries of the Zhao family's pastry shop?" “

Master Zhang said: "Qiao'er does have a pastry in her throat, and it is the same pastry as the mung bean cake sent by the Zhao family's pastry shop that day......

"Are pastries poisonous?"

"Pastries are really poisonous."

Wu Qian laughed, turned to Li Yuanbu and said: "My lord, this master himself has admitted it, Miss Qiao'er, it is the pastries of the Zhao family's pastry shop, poisoned to death!" ”

Master Zhang smiled rarely, clasped his fists and said, "This adult, what I just said is Miss Qiao'er's pastry, at the throat. ”

"So what?" Wu Qian was puzzled.

"Since it's in the throat and hasn't eaten it in the stomach, how can you be poisoned to death because of the pastry!"

Wu Qian's face changed greatly. Then he said: "Even if the pastry is in the throat, then, that, maybe the pastry choked to death?" ”

Master Zhang smiled again.

He hadn't seen such a stupid person in a long time.

Master Zhang no longer paid attention to Wu Qian, and saluted Li Yuanbu and said, "Master Li, the cause of the deceased Qiao'er's death has been investigated. Qiao'er's neck has a strangulation mark, apparently someone strangled her neck with a cloth belt, causing her to suffocate to death! ”

Wu Qian said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! ”

"This adult is so excited, could it be that he was present and saw with his own eyes, how did Miss Qiao'er die?" Zhao Sichen said slowly on the side.

Wu Qian: "......"

Master Zhang continued: "After Qiao'er suffocated to death, someone mixed the pastry with poison and stuffed it into Qiao'er's mouth. ”

"Because Qiao'er is dead and has lost the ability to swallow, the pastry is stuck in Qiao'er's throat, but it does not enter the stomach."

"When the autopsy was conducted, a silver needle was used to probe the throat of the deceased Qiao'er, and it was found that it was indeed poisonous, and Qiao'er had pastries in her mouth, so she thought that Qiao'er was poisoned by the pastries and died."

Master Zhang's last words were making up for the yamen.

Although it is considered a profession that is considered to be a subordinate work, it is also considered a public person.

In the Qiao'er poisoning case, the presumptuous man obviously received money and produced the autopsy report indiscriminately.

But if this matter is put on the table, Li Yuanbu's face will inevitably be unbearable.

There will even be a suspicion of dereliction of duty.

Therefore, Master Zhang cleverly thought of a reason, saying that he had misjudged Qiao'er's cause of death because of various reasons.

In this way, Li Yuanbu has a step to go down.

Li Yuanbu, a character like a human spirit, immediately saw Master Zhang's kindness.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Today there is finally something that satisfies him.

His nose twitched, and Li Yuanbu's brows, which had just unfolded, furrowed tightly.

Seeing that Master Zhang and Wu Qian both had the intention of continuing to speak, Li Yuanbu hurriedly waved his hand: "The specific autopsy record will be put on my desk later, and I will take a closer look." ”

"It's not early today, so please go back."

"I won't send it."

While speaking, Li Yuanbu waved his hand casually and hurriedly walked out.

Zhao Sichen and the others saw that although Li Yuanbu was as fat as a pig, he walked quickly, and soon walked through a corridor, made a detour, and couldn't see him again.

Zhao Sichen knew that Li Yuanbu was the most slick, and he was as slippery as a loach, and he couldn't catch it.

She shook her head helplessly and said to Master Zhang, "Let's go back first." “

"It's hard work today, Master Zhang."

Master Zhang arched his hand: "Miss Zhao, you are also tired today." “

Wu Qian looked at Zhao Sichen from the side, as if he wanted to say something.

Zhao Sichen had no intention of entertaining, so he made a casual salute and hurried away.

Wu Qian was left alone, standing in place, frowning tightly.

Then, with his hands behind his back, he paced and walked back slowly.
