Above the public hall, the prefect Wang Kezhang sat on the top of the main hall but looked cowering, because Lord Shangshu Yu of the Criminal Department and Lord Yushi Taisun were sitting below. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang An stood respectfully in the middle, more than a dozen family members of the Song family knelt behind, the old lady had to kneel because she did not clear the suspicion, and Sakura also sneaked back to the cell the night before. The door is full of people, and people always like to gather in crowded places, just like playing chess is originally a matter of two people, but as long as you play, it is a matter of a group of people.

Lord Yu said: "Governor Wang, today's case of the poisoning and death of Song Ci, the criminal officer of the fourth grade, is defended by Yang An, and the official and the imperial historian will listen to it, so as to be fair, and you will leave the rest alone." Ask for the case!"

"Okay, okay, Xia Guan understands!" Wang Kezhang turned to Yang An and said, "Since you are defending, you can talk about it first!"

"First of all, I want to say that Lord Song's death has nothing to do with anyone in the hall, Lord Song's death is just a suicide note!" Yang An said.

"Lord Song still has a suicide note, submit it to see!" Wang Kezhang said.

Yang An smiled and said: "Lord Wang, you heard it wrong, I didn't say that Lord Song left a suicide note, I mean that Lord Song's death is a suicide note!"

"How can a person's death be a suicide note, you are simply talking nonsense!" Wang Kezhang slapped the shocked wood angrily.

"Yes, Yang An, you can't talk nonsense in the court!" Lord Yushi Sun was also puzzled.

"Other people may not be able to, but Lord Song is studying the autopsy, and what he wants to say can definitely be expressed in the form of a corpse!"

"Then tell me how Song Ci used his corpse to write a suicide note?" asked Master Sun again.

"It is said to be a suicide note, in fact, it is also a letter, the matter has to start with the case of Lord Song's investigation of the poisoning of the Liu family, this case I think is already in the prefect's yamen, please find out the prefect, and the three adults will circulate it. Soon after Yang An finished speaking, the file was found.

Yang An continued: "I don't know if the three adults have found a problem, that is, the symptoms shown on the autopsy record of the Liu family master are exactly the same as those of Lord Song. All the adults present are no strangers to the autopsy verdict, this situation does not need to think about it to know that it is poisoned, but the strange thing is that the silver needle can not be detected, but there is a clause in the law of the Great Song Dynasty that Lord Song personally added, and all poisoned people must be tested with silver needles before the case can be conclusive, so that there is no way to close the case of the old man of the Liu family. The case could not be closed, but Lord Song was more concerned about why it was poisoned but could not be tested, so he found out that this arsenic came from a pharmacy called Yaoxiantang, so he asked his wife to buy this arsenic, old lady, I said this matter?"

"That's right, the master did let me go to the Medicine Immortal Hall to buy arsenic, and I sent someone!" said Mrs. Yu.

"That can also be done intentionally by Mrs. Yu, after all, now that Song Ci is dead, there is no proof of death!" Wang Kezhang said.

"There is indeed such a possibility, then I want to pass on the second piece of evidence!" Yang An handed Lord Shang Shu a color.

Lord Yu said: "The second piece of evidence is with me, Wang Zhifu, you can show it to Lord Yushi!"

"What is this?" asked the prefect Wang.

"Obviously, this is a reply from a county magistrate in Hunan to Lord Shangshu. When Lord Song was investigating the poisoning case of Master Liu, he had a headache and was bedridden, probably because he found out that the silver needle poison test he wrote was wrong!"

Before Yang An finished speaking, Mrs. Yu said: "Yang An, how can you say that the old man has made a mistake in the drug test of the silver needle, he has dealt with corpses all his life, and you have only studied with him for a few days, are you worthy of him for saying this?"

"Old lady, if I don't say that, I'm really sorry for Lord Song, what I want to say is exactly what Lord Song wants to say. Just now I said that Lord Song was seriously ill and should have been bedridden, but even in this case, he went to Hunan to meet the magistrate and a woman. It was mentioned in the letter that the reason why Lord Song went to find the magistrate was to find the whereabouts of this woman. This woman's name is Li Yanfen, why Lord Song went to look for her, a few adults can know by looking at the file just now. Li Yanfen's husband died in the fire last year, and Lord Song found some signs of poisoning during the autopsy, but in the end, because the body was unrecognizable, and the silver needle test did not turn black, so he had to be drunk and unconscious and lost the fire. When Lord Song was investigating the case of Master Liu, he suddenly remembered this case, and he was uneasy in his heart, and he wanted to find out clearly, but he found out that Li Yanfen's hometown happened to be Guangdong, and it happened to be near Yaoxiantang. Lord Song could already determine that Li Yanfen's husband was poisoned by Li Yanfen last year, so he went to Li Yanfen's house with the magistrate. Pay attention to the letter from the magistrate, he said that Lord Song was very calm at first after entering, and then he actually quarreled with Li Yanfen, and the magistrate also heard Li Yanfen say in a strange way, "Lord Song, aren't you the first criminal officer in the Great Song Dynasty, the first post-mortem master in the world, but what can you do with me?"

"You're saying that she killed her husband and used the arsenic of Yaoxiantang, and even though Lord Song knew that he killed him, there was no way to convict him!" said Master Sun.

"Lord Sun is right, there is another piece of evidence that is more direct, Lord Sun, look!" Lord Yu said and took out the recital.

"Is there such a thing?" Sun Yanfa was also a little surprised.

Yang An said again: "Old lady, you just said that I am sorry for Lord Song, do you know what Lord Song said in his recital? What he said was that the final case of the silver needle poison test was changed to the silver needle auxiliary test, which shows that Lord Song already knew that the silver needle drug test was no longer accurate, but the emperor did not allow it, probably because it was a big matter to revise the law. But it was the emperor's decision that drove Lord Song to a dead end. On the one hand, there is the grievance between Li Yanfen's husband and Master Liu, and on the other hand, the emperor's incomprehension, Lord Song is in a dilemma, and if the law is not changed, there may be more unjust cases in the future. Thinking of this, the first criminal officer in the Great Song Dynasty, the first smart person, thought of the most stupid and admirable method. Death, only his own death can make the court pay attention to it, let the emperor pay attention to it, so as to change the law and make similar unjust cases not happen again, this is his suicide note!"

"The first mention of the criminal officer in the Great Song Dynasty, my grandson is ashamed of himself, but what I don't understand is why the silver needle drug test does not work?

"I can't say this clearly, I can only let everyone see it for everyone, Youqu!"

Youqu walked in and handed the things to Yang An, Yang An put the things on the small table prepared in the lobby, Yang An said: "There are three things on the table, one is ordinary arsenic, the second is the arsenic of Yaoxiantang, and the third one everyone knows, it is eggs. Please verify it!"

"No problem!" said the servant.

"Okay, please take out three of your usual silver needles and try them separately!"

"Good!"

After a while, everyone in the hall showed surprised expressions.

"How come? The arsenic in Yaoxian Hall is not black, but the eggs are black!" Wang Kezhang looked dazed.

"Anyway, that's the case, if you want to ask the reason, I don't know, I once asked the shopkeeper of the Medicine Immortal Hall, and he only said that it was a unique secret system and could not be leaked. As for the egg turning black, it was just a fortuitous discovery, which is enough to prove that the silver needle drug test is not completely accurate!" Yang An said.

"Even if Lord Song wants to die to attract attention, there is no need to do this, doesn't he know that doing so may affect his wife's family?" Wang Kezhang asked.

"This is another thing that I admire about Lord Song, he not only thought of it, but he went further than we thought, he not only sacrificed his life for the truth, but even thought that he would take the life of his whole family. He was worried that his death could not attract the attention of the imperial court, so he deliberately asked his wife to buy poison, the old lady was in trouble, and Lord Shangshu would not sit idly by, and Lord Shangshu would save his sister, which would naturally attract the attention of the imperial court. ”

"Lord Sun, it seems that we are all being toyed with by this Song Ci!" said Master Shangshu with a smile.

"To be able to use such a person as a minister in the same hall, even if he is toyed with, Sun is willing. Lord Song, although my Sun Yanfa is a slight person, I am determined to play the suicide note for you in front of the saint!" he said and bowed his hand to the north to show respect.

"I, the secretary of the Criminal Department, should also take care of something, Lord Sun, you won't say that I defend my brother-in-law this time!" Lord Yu said and laughed.

"Naturally not, it's all a misunderstanding!"

"Yang An has thanked the two adults here!"
