Chapter 206 Childbirth Scar
The lungs of the charred corpse had long been carbonized, and the throat was also scorched. It is certain that the female corpse was still alive when it was set on fire.

When she dissected the pelvis of the charred corpse, Chen Yuan was shocked again, "There is no soybean grain-sized delivery scar on the dorsal and medial edge of the pubic symphysis, which shows that this body was buried as 'Sheng Dongyue' The female corpse has no birth history."

You don't understand what birth scars are, and the latter sentence of no birth history shocked everyone.

"How is it possible? Sheng Dongyue's children have grown so big!"

Everyone turned to look at Yu Enming.

Yu Enming had already fallen to the ground in disregard of his image, and now he was hanging his head, unable to see his expression clearly.

The girls Mingyu and Qingyan were anxious and comforted in a low voice, but there was nothing they could do.

Others were still speculating, "Yes, is it true that Chen Yuzuo wants to say that Yu Enming was not born by Sheng Dongyue?"

"Don't get excited, I think what Chen Yuzuo means is that this female corpse is not Sheng Dongyue, but a big girl with yellow flowers."

"Impossible! Old Master Sheng can't recognize his own daughter? To bury someone else as a daughter? Occupy the feng shui treasure land of the Sheng family?"

"Maybe it's because Sheng Dongyue can't have a baby, so how about looking for a baby in someone else's arms?"

The unreliable guess ignited the anger of the two girls, "Don't fart the old lady, my son is indeed a noble son who came out of Mrs. Sheng's belly. No matter how many children are born in a rich family, the servants serve him, and so many eyes stare at him. So, you think you are poor people who gave birth in secret by yourself? If you don’t believe me, you can find the steady woman from back then to confront her.”

The common people didn't dare to offend the Sheng family, so they quickly shut up after being scolded by her.

Mingyu, however, did not let go of Chen Yuan, who caused everyone to speculate wildly, and pointed at her and cursed, "Chen Yuzuo, don't deceive the public with your lies, whether you know how to perform an autopsy! I've never heard of birth scars."

Qing Yan scolded even worse, "Chen Yuan, you bastard, you just want to destroy my Sheng family! It would be a tragedy if my wife was burned to death, and you still use her as a raft to spread rumors and make trouble. Who did you accept? Money is doing this to the Sheng family? Why are you splashing lard, why haven’t you ever given birth to a child, if you keep messing around, see if I don’t tear your mouth apart.”

The two of them were not satisfied with cursing at Chen Yuan for a while, and they wanted to rush up and beat Chen Yuan.

Their kung fu is good enough for those aunts and concubines in Yu's mansion, but they can't get close to Chen Yuan at all for the yamen servants who are maintaining the scene.

Soon the two of them were gagged by Liang Zhuo, Luo Zhao, and Ma Li with handkerchiefs, tied up with ropes and thrown to Yu Enming's side.

"There is no room for mistakes in the investigation of the case in the Yamen. Please, Mr. Yu, take good care of your own girl, and be careful to dirty the ears of adults with obscenities."

The autopsy results caused different opinions. As the most discussed person in the center of the storm, Yu Enming was in the most complicated and uncomfortable mood. The two girls kept on going, which added to his confusion and made him very annoyed.

When Yu Enming got up, his eyes were already red. After thanking him tiredly, he slumped on the ground again without any image.

"You two, don't quarrel anymore. I know your loyalty in maintaining the Sheng Mansion, but if you continue to quarrel, it will harm the Sheng Mansion."

The two girls who were still tied up and still struggling to break free from the rope stopped immediately when they heard that they would harm Sheng's mansion.

Yu Enming wrapped his arms around his knees, lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth curled up indifferently.

The chaos caused by the two girls was quickly suppressed, but the questions they raised were also doubts in many people's minds.

Wei Xiancheng, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth, "Chen Yuzuo, what do you mean by childbirth scar? Can this thing be used as a criterion for judging whether a woman has a child? What is the basis? Can it stand the test?"

"My lord, please read."

Chen Yuan pointed to the trapezoid-shaped lower pelvis, "The pubic bone is two bones located in front of the pelvis. There is a gap in the middle instead of close together. The two bones are connected by ligaments and fibrocartilage tissue. This area is the It's called the pubic symphysis."

"Due to the opening of the symphysis pubis during late pregnancy and childbirth, the attachment of the ligament between the pubis is strained or the ligament is embedded in the bone. After the ligament and other tissues disappear, permanent indentations and grooves are left on the bone surface. The delivery scar is Determining the bony characteristics of a woman's reproductive history."

After explaining the scars of childbirth, Chen Yuan said again, "The inside of the pubic bone of this female corpse is smooth and there are no indentations or grooves, so this subordinate judges that she has not given birth to a child. This method comes from a book that this subordinate has read. It can definitely stand the test. The verification method is also simple. Adults can find people who voluntarily made contributions to the criminal law of Nanli Kingdom and accumulated merits for the family. , it can be verified without exception.”

Wei Xiancheng asked back, "There will be no exceptions?"

"Yes." To Wei Xiancheng's provocation, Chen Yuan answered very firmly.

In fact, the use of childbirth scars to determine women's reproductive history is still somewhat controversial in later generations, but more than 96% of them can be used as a feature to determine women's reproductive history, and this probability is already very high.

"Okay, after returning to the county office, I would like to trouble Lord Guan to issue a notice to find volunteers to donate their own female bones to contribute to the criminal law of Nanli State. If this law can really pass the verification, it is a great contribution, whether it is Chen Yuzuo or those who Those who donate the bones must be rewarded well, don't you think so, Lord Guan?"

Wei Xiancheng looked at Guan Zhixian calmly as if he had the ticket to win.

Guan Quantong was forcibly put on the stove by Wei Xiancheng. He glanced at the confident Chen Yuan and remembered that she had never said she missed her. , this method has been verified, and those who donate the bones of their own women can be exempted from taxes and corvees for three years, and Chen Yuzuo's rewards are also in accordance with the rules."

Although there is no reward, the exemption from taxes and corvee for three years is a huge temptation for the poor and the rich.

Wei Xiancheng doesn't believe there is a foolproof method, and he has a lot of room for maneuver at this time, "What if this method doesn't pass the verification?"

Guan Zhixian's heart skipped a beat, he just felt that Wei Xiancheng was setting them up, he and Chen Yuzuo were like grasshoppers on the same rope, shouldn't they deal with it more cautiously?

"If [-]% of them fail the verification of this method, those who voluntarily donate their own female bones can still be exempted from taxes and corvees for the next year. And Chen Yuzuo..."

Looking at Chen Yuan, who had an expression of indifference, Guan Zhixian was determined, "Punish the salary for one year."

"The rewards Chen Yuzuo received for her previous meritorious service are more than most of her half-life salaries, and the fines are not painful to her."

Wei Xiancheng pointed out Chen Yuan's rich situation in a loud voice, and said, "She made Mr. Yu so sad with one word, not only tarnished the reputation of the young lady of the Sheng family, but also caused the Sheng mansion to be talked about. I think , and add a hip stick, and it will make her remember longer if she goes to the clothes and receives the stick. Wu Zuo, but the most important servant, talking nonsense will kill people, so don't gossip."

"Master Wei is right!"

"Yes, Wu Zuo can't just talk about it, he is the one who can determine life and death."

Wei Xiancheng's words of worrying for the people attracted many onlookers to echo him, and no one wanted to be judged by a single sentence.
