10 Another post-mortem report
After lunch, Yang Xianrong took Cui Xi and Zhang Lianghoe quietly out of the palace and went to the Northern Military Mansion. Mao Hongbin was talking to Grandma Ruan, and he was startled when he saw Yang Xianrong's figure, and wanted to kneel down for her immediately.
"Get up, don't make a noise." Yang Xianrong went out in casual clothes, without powder, and looked a little thin. "Have the bodies of these two brides been examined again? I heard that it was going to be sent to Hongguang Temple. ”
"Just now, the female relatives of the two families have come over to cry, and I heard Sima Lun say that he was going to send him to Hongguang Temple, and Xu Zhenren would give him a surplus, so he didn't make any trouble, and they all went back to prepare for the aftermath."
"Is there another autopsy?"
Grandma Ruan nodded, "There are no external injuries on the body, and corpse spots have appeared." There were no foreign bodies in the nose and mouth, and there were no signs of poisoning. ”
"Yang Xiaorong, I found out something." Mao Hongbin suddenly lowered his voice and motioned her to come closer.
"Hey, what are you doing? It's all your territory, what are you afraid of? Yang Xianrong laughed, "You, you should be careful, always be careful when you shouldn't." How good it would be for you to drive away the people watching the excitement at your door first, and call Qin Chaoge and my second brother to talk together. ”
"Qin Chaoge and Yang Xiankang went to the He family to help, they are all familiar with each other's martial guards, He Jiunian's family has already been a mess, and he is alone on weekdays, but now his father, mother and brothers and sisters are all here, and he is a little too busy. I heard that he didn't even have a maid and servants in the house before, tsk, tell me, so many people came here this time, and something like this happened......"
"Okay, don't care about him, let's talk about what you found first?" Yang Xianrong waved his hand, "Is there something suspicious?" ”
"It doesn't count." Mao Hongbin mysteriously took out a county chronicle, indicating that it was the words of Qingyang County. "Wasn't it Xiao Ruobai and Shi Kaizhi's affair before, I also checked some county records to take a look. There's one, you see here......"
Yang Xianrong's gaze followed his fingers, and there was a post-mortem report recorded in it. "The only daughter of the Chen family, married to Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, died in a hurry on the wedding day. The face was hideous and painful, the body had no external injuries, no poisoning, and died of palpitations. ”
"What does that mean?" Yang Xianrong was very puzzled.
Mao Hongbin turned another page, pointed to the text on it and said, "This is a cross-autopsy report." Counting the days, it should be eight years ago, Sima Ying married his wife for the third time, in his palace in Shudi, and the bride also died in a sedan chair. It is likely that at that time, several counties were recruited to conduct an autopsy, did they also think that the bride's death was suspicious? ”
"That's right." Yang Xianrong took the county chronicle and flipped through it again. Mao Hongbin continued: "I was just discussing a matter with Grandma Ruan, if I die of heart palpitations, will my face be hideous? But Grandma Ruan said not necessarily. ”
"Yes, there are many people who die of palpitations and end up looking peaceful, but there will be edema on the body, and there are few people with hideous faces." Grandma Ruan explained in detail, "Heart palpitations can cause pneumothorax and suffocation, and the greatest possibility is to breathe with your mouth wide open, but your mouth and eyes will not be crooked. Just now, after I examined the corpse again, I found that the bride was not edema, but not in any condition, as if she was asleep. ”
"So, that's the suspicion?" Yang Xianrong touched the handwriting on the county annals, thinking that Sima Ying eight years ago didn't seem to be very old, and how uncomfortable it would be to face such a terrible side in the sedan chair.
"If we can find the autopsy reports of other brides, maybe we will know more." Grandma Ruan sighed lightly.
"Lord Mao, Zhao Wuwei is looking for you." There are relatives at the door to spread the word.
"Oh, let him in." Mao Hongbin glanced at Yang Xianrong, and Yang Xianrong nodded.
When Zhao Zhuo came in, he saw Yang Xianrong at a glance, and immediately knelt down, "Queen Mother." ”
"What's going on?" Yang Xianrong asked, "Is there something wrong with the prince?" ”
"The lowly has just gone to the palace to look for you...... Commander Yuan said that you came to the Northern Military Mansion......" Zhao Zhuo didn't know how to say it, so he could only say his itinerary first, "That...... Humble ...... This one...... Since the prince returned to the mansion yesterday, he has locked himself in the room and has not come out, and there is no sound. The humble duty wanted to go in and have a look, but he didn't dare, so the humble duty put the food at the door, but he knew that just now, the humble duty saw that the food had not been touched, for fear that the prince would not be able to open ......it."
“…… This matter, don't think about it......" Yang Xianrong pulled the corners of his mouth, "This matter is not his problem, he should actually actively cooperate with everyone and check if there is a problem with this matter." ”
"The prince was actually frightened, after spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood yesterday, his face turned pale...... "Zhao Zhuo's face was full of anxiety, "That humble position thinks that the relationship between the prince and the queen mother is better, maybe the queen mother can persuade him to ......"
"The prince also believes that he has the life of a wife?" Yang Xianrong interrupted Zhao Zhuo's words, "So, is he scared now, or is he blaming himself?" ”
"This ...... I don't know. Zhao Zhuo lowered his head.
"What shall I say about this?" Yang Xianrong glanced at Mao Hongbin, "Now it is Lord Mao who will deal with this matter, and now there is a high probability that it will be dealt with according to the sudden death of the bride, but I think I still have to check it secretly." So, you go back and talk to the prince, and I'll go over and ask him something later." Before that, though, there's one more place I'm going to visit. ”
"The prince doesn't care about the ......," Zhao Zhuo whispered.
"Then you just yell at him, yell at him, just say that the queen will come over in a while, you hurry up and prepare." Yang Xianrong stood up, "In this way, you go buy a few steamed buns, and then shout: The queen wants you to finish these three steamed buns!" If she doesn't finish eating, she won't come. ”
"Ah, this ......" Zhao Zhuo's face was full of embarrassment, "I don't dare." ”
"Oh, that can't be helped." Yang Xianrong took out a tael of silver from his arms, "Use this money to buy steamed buns, and give the rest to the prince, and then ask him to buy steamed buns for me." ”
"Ah, this ......" Zhao Zhuo grinned even more, "I don't dare to be humble." ”
"Okay, I'll talk to Yuan Jianshuo for a while, at the end of the month, you Wuwei won't give you the money for drinking, because Zhao Wuwei is disobedient."
"Don't!" Zhao Zhuo groaned, "I really don't dare to be humble." ”
"It's okay, if there is something, you just say, it's all the queen mother's words, you go to her to settle accounts."
"Ah, this ......" Zhao Zhuo knelt on the ground, especially wanting to kowtow, "It's really really hard to be lowly." ”
"That'...... You say that......" Yang Xianrong lowered his head and whispered two words in his ear, Zhao Zhuo looked frightened, opened his mouth, and finally did not make a sound.
