Chapter 225: The Newcomer Leaves, and There Are Many Complications
The capital has not been at peace for some time, and with the return of the dead bodies, the city is once again in turmoil.
Before that, the two people asked for an extremely professional examination of the injuries on the corpse on the grounds of investigating the case, and then determined the cause of death.
That's right, this request was naturally made by Xu Changan...
However, it was rejected by most of the people in the entire city, especially the families of the deceased, and these refusals couldn't help but make Xu Changan breathe a sigh of relief.
The dead are great, don't be humiliated, the dead are dead, and they have to be seen by others, which is indeed a humiliation in the eyes of ordinary people.
Besides, you have seen with your own eyes that you were assassinated, and the arrows that came from them stabbed those people, so why don't you just give you the arrows? Do you still need to inspect the wounds? Xu Chang'an's approach is indeed redundant.
But Xu Changan doesn't care about this move, and his professionalism is over.
His approach did look very professional, so professional that Wang Zhaojun thought that the other party was being modest when he went to the Spirit Academy to find Xu Chang'an.
Therefore, after Xu Chang'an's proposal was rejected, Wang Zhaojun was ready to enter the palace and insisted on asking the emperor to show a special decree, in order to facilitate the two of them to find out the truth.
But again rejected...
It was not the emperor who refused this time, because Wang Zhaojun didn't have time to enter the palace at all, and it was Xu Chang'an who refused Wang Zhaojun's approach.
......
The two people who had temporarily gathered together to investigate the case had not had time to leave the city, and their respective proposals were rejected one after another, so it seems that their investigation will not go too smoothly.
The reason for Xu Chang'an's refusal is that the deceased is the greatest, and we should also follow the opinions of the family members in investigating the case.
At the same time, he also considers the problem from a humanitarian point of view, which is very convincing.
Before leaving the capital, Xu Changan already had a little meaning in Wang Zhaojun's eyes, and it seemed that the gray-clothed old man I met by chance did not deceive me.
However, Wang Zhaojun may not have considered a problem, it was Xu Changan who made the suggestion, and in the end it was he who refused to suggest...
If it is replaced by another person who is a little more shrewd, you may be able to see that Xu Changan is taking off his pants and farting, and what he is saying is just nonsense.
That's right, of course Xu Changan knew how those dead people died, because he was almost like them, and he also knew that those officials would not allow him to inspect their son's wounds, and even if he did, he couldn't see anything, at most, he verified the pictures he had seen.
They had indeed been killed by arrows, but there was no other problem with the wounds.
Although it was a big move, it didn't take much effort, just a proposal, which could make Wang Zhaojun feel that he was not fooling him.
So he went to the Imperial History Mansion in advance to find Cui Xianggong and do some homework.
Cui Xianggong was born in the Imperial History Mansion, and it seems that the investigation of the case should be handled by the Tingwei Mansion, and he should not understand these things either.
However, Lord Tingwei had also studied in the Spirit Academy in the early years, and what was taught in the Spirit Academy was nothing more than reading and reading, and he would not take the students to dig graves in the wilderness to examine the corpses, but some of the truths would still be taught.
And to know how the deceased died, examining the wound and going to the scene of the crime are the most basic methods...
But because Xu Chang'an's face was contemplative when he said this, plus what should be judged according to the depth of different wounds, what configuration of the bow and arrow used by the other party is, such as how many stones of the bow and so on.
Wang Zhaojun is a military general, and the weapons of bows, arrows, and spears are definitely not unfamiliar, and he knows that Xu Chang'an's mouth is right.
He also knew that Xu Chang'an's statement was not mysterious, and some professionals could indeed judge what kind of bow and crossbow the archers chose to achieve such a large penetration through the wounds of the deceased.
The bows and crossbows are all equipped by the military, and the positions are different in different places, and the materials selected are also different, so it seems that even the same production method cannot guarantee that some details are exactly the same, let alone the depth of the feather arrow's piercing wound.
If this is the case, it seems that this case only needs to be checked for the configuration of bows and crossbows in various places.
It's just that Wang Zhaojun usually just uses it, and he hasn't studied it carefully, and when he heard that Xu Changan had such a ability at his age, he couldn't help but admire him.
But...
Xu Changan naturally couldn't see this, which was why he was relieved when he knew that his proposal was rejected by many people, and it was also because of this that he resolutely stopped Wang Zhaojun from entering the palace to apply for a special purpose.
After all, even if you see the wound under the complaints of everyone, you can't see what you started to say, isn't it just a slap in the face?
In fact, Wang Zhaojun's idea is a little too simple, from this point of view, he is a little anxious about this case, after all, the depth of the wound shot by the bow and arrow is not only related to the bow itself, but also to the strength of the archer, and even environmental factors, etc., after all, the random arrow is naturally deep and shallow.
In addition to the major event that happened, the situation in Honglu Temple is also eye-catching.
In any case, no matter how big something happens in the city, the state affairs must not be wasted, even if the army attacks outside the city, it must be discussed together how to break it.
Fortunately, Lord Zhao Xian and Zhao of Honglu Temple have nothing to do with this matter, so they can still stay in Honglu Temple and listen to those disputes and negotiations that do not give in.
Although that incident made the people of the court unstable, there is still great progress on the side of Honglu Temple, and the tax revenue of Qingyun County in the next ten years has become a good thing for the country.
After all, according to what His Majesty the Emperor said, people are going to use the taxes of the past ten years to destroy the Chu State...
In fact, not many people in the whole country take this sentence seriously, even the eldest prince thinks that he is just talking about it.
After all, the state of Chu is far away in the west, and there are two countries in the middle, the Qi State and the Jing Dynasty, not to mention the problem of grain and grass supply that has been stretched too long on the front, even if you destroy the Chu State and separate the two countries, who should be sent to rule?
The eldest prince is naturally the most suitable candidate, and he will not be able to return to the capital all year round if he is left far away, but the emperor will definitely not be at ease.
After all, with a copper plate, he can win the land of one state and three counties in Ningguo, and now that he is given a country, no one dares to guess what actions he can prepare to make thousands of miles away.
So the problem is that firstly, there is a not weak Qi country in the middle, and secondly, it is useless to capture it, although you have no jokes, but his words are indeed like a joke and no one takes it seriously.
The conditions for sending troops have been set, and the distribution of the spoils of war in the back is a trivial matter, after all, at the moment of the war of Qi to destroy the country, it is the right thing to defeat the Chu State first, how can you think about the spoils of war before the war starts.
Therefore, although the two sides are scheming on the surface, as long as the other party's statement is slightly reasonable, it is just a trivial matter.
Counting that it took two months to go to other countries to negotiate, Yuan Jiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood in front of the Honglu Temple and burst into tears, constantly sighing that he had not lived up to the king's expectations, and he could be regarded as able to make a difference when he went back this time.
sent away the Qi State Mission, and the internal discussions were still in full swing.
Although on the surface the negotiation is wonderful, it is extremely strong.
We have a strong enough force to mobilize, and we have brave and warlike generals, and this is a fact that is well known to all countries.
However, this is just a pretext for the convenience of fighting for interests, and after the Qi envoy leaves, which troops to mobilize and who will lead the troops immediately becomes a very questionable question.
Aiding other countries will naturally not let their own soldiers rush to the front line to fight the fire, but only play an auxiliary and surprise role, and the frontal battlefield is still a dispute between Qi and Chu.
And there are many brave and good generals in the Dachang Dynasty, but if you want to say that this kind of fighting is quite face-hurting in their eyes, I am afraid that there are few people in the whole country who are willing to lead the soldiers.
Don't even think about those famous generals, although the king's order cannot be violated, if you really want to make an order, no one dares to disobey it.
But the soldiers under his hands don't care about their feelings, then your life will become like a fart over time, after all, people are going to die if they are not careful on the battlefield, and there is nothing easy to do, and it is impossible to be like those eunuchs who can only slap their horses around them.
In recent days, he has dropped out of the court one after another, not to consider the feelings of those officials, but to feel quite troublesome in the court, even if His Majesty the Emperor is facing the questions of those ministers.
So before the two of them find out the truth, His Majesty the Emperor can hide a little bit.
Discussing affairs is just to gather some important ministers in the court, and then let them convey it below, the emperor is a lot more leisurely, but those important ministers are miserable.
Which one of those who can be summoned by the emperor into the palace is not a high authority? Such officials are usually a handful of old age, running back and forth between the palace and the residences of various officials, not to mention, and from time to time to listen to a sentence or two of the nagging and muttering of other officials, which is definitely a chore.
And the only people who can do this drudgery in the Manchu Dynasty are the prime minister and the imperial history.
At this time, the prime minister was full of bitterness in the palace, although he was not very old, but he couldn't bear such hard work, although he was the prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, and he had something to discuss with other officials on weekdays and let his subordinates go to the other party's mansion to summon him.
But now he is still the prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, but he is not a person who does not look at the situation and does not understand the position, he can sit in this position at such an age, on the contrary, his situation and position are far more than ordinary people.
So now, if it is the same as before, no matter what the mood of the people is, send someone to call over, it will be a little too unkind, take the carriage to the people's house, look at the people with a bitter face and obviously put on a not very good expression, and have to bite the bullet to say a few words of greeting, but it is a big problem, and then say some words of mourning and taking care of your body, running back and forth, that is the lips are dry, as if they have become a lot older these days.
