Chapter 374: The matchmaker came to the door
"Naturally." Luo Qianhuai said: "These are the muscles that will be used during the breathing process. If the deceased had drowned, most of them would have experienced violent struggles and spasms, so there is a high risk of bleeding, but now you can see that there are no subcutaneous bleeding spots in these areas. ”
Diao Wei couldn't hear it clearly. At this time, Luo Qianhuai had no intention of stopping. She motioned for Wei Cang to take the candlestick and illuminated one of Gao Yang's ears: "There is another distinctive feature of the body of the drowning person before his death, that is, due to the violent struggle and strong water pressure, the eardrum ruptures and water enters the middle ear. Deputy Diao can check it himself to see if Dinghou's eardrum is intact? ”
This is something that Diao Wei will do. He took out his usual tools, probed Gao Yang's ears, and then shook his head: "The eardrum is intact and not broken." ”
"Good." Luo Qianhuai said: "Without dissecting the corpse, these are the main suspicions I can find. If I can get the consent of the family of the deceased, I can get more evidence. ”
She didn't mean anything. At the same time, the deceased will also have watery emphysema, drowning fluid and foreign bodies in the stomach and duodenum, and bleeding in the temporal vertebrae, which cannot be caused by coma or water after death, so it is an important basis for forensic doctors in previous lives to determine the cause of death.
It's just that the people of this era attach far more importance to the integrity of corpses than later generations can imagine.
Wei Cang was anxious to clear his name for Mo Gongzi, and he didn't think about dissecting Gao Yang's body.
"This evidence should be sufficient." He looked at Diao Wei and said, "Deputy Diao Envoy, did you say?" ”
"Enough, enough!" Diao Wei's forehead instantly appeared with beads of sweat the size of beans.
"Wait a minute." Luo Qianhuai said: "Deputy Envoy Diao said that there are no fatal injuries on Dinghou's body, I don't know if there are other injuries that can cause people to faint and not wake up?" ”
"Seems to have been." Diao Wei said uncertainly: "There is a mark at the junction between the skull and the cervical vertebrae at the back of Dinghou's neck, maybe it is the cause of the dizziness?" ”
Luo Qianhuai asked him to lift Gao Yang's head, and sure enough, he saw a dark cyan mark on the back of his neck that was different from the color of the corpse spots.
In this way, the chain of evidence is complete.
Wei Cang had a plan in his heart, and turned to Diao Wei and said, "How to do it, you should know, you don't need me to teach, right?" ”
"Yes, the villain understands!" Diao Wei is only promised.
Wei Cang nodded: "You go back and figure out the good rhetoric, and wait for me to arrange it." ”
The three of them came quietly, and they went the same. When Luo Qianhuai returned to the courtyard of the Star Tower, it was past five watches, and Star Swirl had already prepared the bath water for her, so she took a bath and rested immediately.
The next morning, Luo Qianhuai did not go to Cui's house, so it was not clear that Mrs. Cui had obtained Cui Xiaoben's consent last night and directly sent the matchmaker to Jing's house.
From beginning to end, she only regarded Luo Qianhuai's shirk yesterday as shyness, and she didn't think that she really didn't want to enter the gate of Cui's mansion.
As for her own Jiulang's thoughts, she just mentioned it to Cui Xiaoben as a joke, and the husband and wife didn't take it seriously.
Although Cui Ge has been bedridden for many years, the news inside and outside the house can't be hidden from him. Knowing that Grandma was still insisting on her opinion, she just sneered.
"Where does my mother know, the current market of Mrs. Jing." He struggled to move his legs and feet. Today, the knee joints can be moved slightly, and the ankles and calves are more agile than yesterday.
"Forget it." He laughed self-deprecatingly: "Although I am the concubine of the Cui family, I have been sick for many years and have no official position, so I am afraid that if I formally ask for marriage, then Jing Yuan may not agree." ”
The guard who knelt down to report the news looked up in amazement: "How can Lang Jun be so arrogant? Jing Yuan is just a criminal eunuch in the court, how dare he dislike Lang Jun? ”
Cui Ge smiled bitterly, but there was no loss between his eyebrows, and his eyes flashed with a few points of brilliance: "How dare I compare with the general of the chariot cavalry?" It's just that I look at the lady of the scene, but she may not be a character who is at the mercy of others. ”
When he said this, he picked up a beautifully carved mahogany box that had been placed next to his pillow before, and said to the guard: "Just now you said that Mrs. Jing has left home now and lives in the Yaoxing Tower?" You can go for me now and send this box over. ”
The guard complied, got up, took the box, and stepped back.
When the matchmaker came to the door, Cai Wei was taking Ah Qin to learn characters.
"Madame is overjoyed!" The matchmaker is a round-faced woman in her forties, with a three-point smile on her face all the year round, and she is used to this errand, so she knows how to speak.
"Where does the joy come from?" As soon as Cai Wei saw her dress, she knew what she was doing, and she knew in her heart that the other party must be here for Luo Qianhuai, but she didn't know who she was mentioning.
The matchmaker smiled even brighter, and his chubby face clumped up, squeezing his eyes into a slit.
"It's the Cui family! Jiu Langjun, who is the ruler of Lord Jin Wu Cui, is going to accept the eldest lady of your mansion as a concubine! What a joy! ”
Cai Wei was stunned, as if she had knocked over the five-flavor bottle. Concubine? That is a serious Cui family tree and qualified to have children, even the wife can't be treated at will, which is completely different from ordinary concubines.
That cheap daughter of his own, can he have such good luck?
Her fingers clenched into fists in her sleeves. Luo Qianhuai left home so willfully the night before, but her husband was hindered by the ugliness of the family, so he let her go.
Not only that, because he had already begged someone to arrange a chance encounter with Jin Xin, when the time came, he didn't make it, so he had to spend money again to dredge up and make some money, so that the family's already small amount of money was less than half.
Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that this marriage was not a bad thing for her family.
Although I don't know why the Cui family changed their minds, and they are even willing to promote Luo Qianhuai as a concubine, this rare opportunity has to be seized.
It's just that the proportions of this must be handled well, which can not only show his love for this cheap daughter, but also make a lot of money.
Cai Wei showed a look of embarrassment on her face: "Jiulangjun is from a famous family, but the eldest lady of my family was born in the wild since she was a child, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to climb." ”
"Madame, what are you talking about?" The matchmaker had already gotten Mama Jiang's promise, if the marriage could be negotiated, there would be a thousand dollars of thanks, and he couldn't wait to use all his strength, so he stepped forward and grabbed Cai Wei affectionately, and his eyes were still looking up and down in the small courtyard:
"The lady of your mansion is top-notch, otherwise how can she be caught by Mrs. Cui at a glance? Madame said that although she is a noble concubine, the bride price is more than that of ordinary people to marry wives, such a good opportunity, Madame must not miss it!"
She used her fingers to lightly write a number on Cai Wei's palm, and the latter gasped suddenly, only to feel that the soles of her feet were fluttering, as if stepping on clouds: "Is this true?" ”
