Chapter 503: Li Dabian's death
"What did you say?" Li Shen suddenly stood up and came to his senses,
"Lord Wang, just now the news came out from the prison of the government office, Li Dabi hanged himself in the prison, and Xi Assassin Shi asked the villain to notify the prince to go and check."
"Let's go, go over and have a look." Li Shen said a word to Wang Xuance, and took the lead and walked out.
Wang Xuance followed.
On the way, Li Shen suddenly remembered a question, so he asked:
"Xuan Ce, why is there a letter from my eldest brother in Aye's secret letter?"
Wang Xuance smiled slightly.
"Lord, I went to Luoyang to see Your Majesty on the orders of the Prince, and Your Majesty heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had written a letter to you, so I wanted to see how the Crown Prince dealt with it.
So I opened the prince's letter.
His Majesty is very satisfied with the attitude of the crown prince, there is no indecision, looking forward to the future, but there is one point,
His Majesty said that the crown prince did not consider it comprehensively, you have no official or position, even if it is a prince who moves the army privately, it is a big taboo.
Even if the crown prince bears it afterwards, it will leave people with a tongue and become a handle for attack.
That's why His Majesty wrote the last decree. ”
After Wang Xuance finished speaking, Li Shencai was stunned.
"Oh, I see, I'm Aya peeking at my son's letters, it's so immoral."
Li Shen said disdainfully.
Wang Xuance instantly twisted his face to the side and stopped looking at Li Shen, so he pretended not to hear.
The little prince of his own family really dares to say anything, and if he lets others know, he must not be impeached.
The two soon arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, Xi Wei was waiting at the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute when he saw Li Shen coming.
"See the prince, the subordinate was derelict in his duties, did not take good care of the sinner, and let the sinner have an accident, please punish the prince."
"Xi Tingshi, let's go and see the situation first." Li Shen didn't say anything, just grimaced,
Xi Wei took Li Shen to the government prison, at this time Li Dabi had not been put down, it seemed that Xi Wei was going to let Li Shen take a look.
lest Li Shen say that he did something.
It's not the first time Li Shen has come into contact with a dead person, although his heart is still a little abrupt, but he can still barely take a look.
When Li Shen walked into the cell, he saw Li Dabian's body hanging from the beam, hanging from his own belt.
At this time, Li Dabi was already incontinent with his bare lower body.
Li Shen and Wang Xuance stepped forward to check it, and then asked the catcher to put Li Dabi down.
"Xi Tingshi, I don't know when this Li Dabi hanged himself?" Li Shen turned around and asked.
"Back to the prince, I just asked the jailers, and they said that Li Dabi was fine when he inquired last night, and when he came this morning, he found that Li Dabi had hanged himself.
The lower official hurriedly sent someone to inform the prince. ”
Xi Wei hurriedly replied.
"What is the conclusion?" Li Shen asked again about the work of the government office.
Qi Zuo raised his head and said to Li Shen:
"Back to the prince, there are no injuries on his body, and his clothes are neat, and no traces of a fight have been found, and the villain judges that he is indeed hanging."
"Can you tell when you died?" Li Shen asked again.
"The villain thinks he should have died early this morning." He replied again.
Li Shen nodded, he didn't know much about these either.
And the credibility of the government's work is not high.
Li Shen squatted down and carefully inspected Li Dabian's whole body with Wang Xuance.
"Rengui moves his joints."
Li Shen said to Xue Rengui beside him,
Xue Rengui stepped forward and moved the arms and legs of Li Dabian's corpse,
"How's it going?"
"Back to the prince, it didn't take too much effort, only a little stiffness." Xue Rengui replied.
"Hmm," Li Shen nodded, then stood up.
"Don't destroy the corpse, this king will come back later." After speaking, Li Shen took the lead out of the prison.
"His Royal Highness King Ji, could it be that King Ji has seen something?" Xi Wei hurriedly chased after him.
"What? Didn't this king see anything? Li Shen was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xi Wei in surprise.
"Could it be that Xi Tingshi thinks that this Li Dabian's death is suspicious?"
"No, no, it's just that the lower official just saw the prince's actions, and he wants to leave the corpse again, and the lower official thinks that His Royal Highness King Ji has seen something wrong." Xi Wei hurriedly waved his hand.
"Oh, this king has never seen a corpse so closely, so I'm more curious, look carefully,
As for keeping the corpse, Benwang has a medical school, and there is a great need for corpses to be studied, so he is ready to let people transport them back after some time.
Anyway, the weather hasn't warmed up yet, and I'm not afraid of the corpse rotting. Li Shen said seriously.
Hearing Li Shen's words, Xi Wei nodded, but he also sighed at King Ji's hobby in his heart,
is really worthy of the God of Wealth, taking advantage of any cheapness, and actually having to travel thousands of miles back to Chang'an for a corpse.
"Since there is nothing to do, then the king will go back, although Li Dabi is dead, but his case still has to be closed.
There are also confiscated family property that will also be confiscated and returned to the imperial court, and these days the king has also included some illegal records of Li Dabian.
The amount of money in it is huge, and Xi Tingshi can give the amount of confiscated property to this king, and this king is a pair of numbers. ”
After Li Shen finished speaking, he took Wang Xuance and others away.
Xi Wei looked at Li Shenyuan's back and breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of his mouth went up, and he had a smile on his face.
"Bang~~~"
"How unreasonable is this, dare to be so arrogant, kill people and kill people, why didn't I hate this king that he would come to such a hand,
This king is really confused. ”
When Li Shen returned to his residence, he became angry and threw a teacup.
secretly scolded himself for still being inexperienced, but he didn't expect Li Dabi to die.
"The prince is angry, you can't blame the prince for this, no one would have thought that Li Dabi would hang himself."
Wang Xuance hurriedly stepped forward to persuade.
"Hanging?" Li Shen became even more angry when he heard the hanging.
"Does the prince think that Li Dabi is not hanging?" Wang Xuance asked,
Although he is brave and resourceful, he does not understand the matter of investigation.
"The minister thinks that Li Dabian's death is suspicious." Xue Rengui on the side said.
"Tell me about it." Li Shen sat down, and Chunxiang hurriedly went to get another teacup to make tea for Li Shen.
"Li Dabi must not have died in the early morning, although the minister doesn't know anything else, but he still knows something about the stiffness of the corpse.
Because the minister had sent the corpse to Doctor Sun several times before.
The stiffness of the corpse usually begins within an hour or so.
If it was early in the morning, more than three hours had passed by now, and it should be much stiffer than it is now. ”
Li Shen nodded, it turned out that Xue Rengui knew the reason from Sun Simiao.
"Rengui is right, after death, people generally begin to stiffen in one hour to two hours, which is also related to the cold and warm weather, and it is only the end of February.
The time when the corpse should have been stiff was already early, and the stiffness of Li Dabi just now would never exceed two hours.
Therefore, Li Dabi had just died. ”
