Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 517 Murder
"It's an order from me, why? Third daughter-in-law, are you going to resist the order?"

A majestic voice sounded, and then someone sang, "The emperor is here!"

Jiang Lishi turned her head to look at the emperor, and suddenly panicked and knelt down in front of the emperor.

"Father, you have to decide for your sons and ministers! Your Highness left us orphans and widows and left."

As she spoke, she pulled away her son with red eyes, "Si'er is only six years old, without his father, how will he live in the future?"

"Cai'er is my grandson, so naturally I won't ignore it."

Looking at the crying mother and son, the emperor couldn't help but sighed.

Qin Rusi immediately stepped forward and hugged the emperor's thigh, "Grandfather, will my grandson not have a father in the future?"

The emperor looked at the child and couldn't help crying.He touched the child's head and gently stroked the child's soft hair.

"Grandfather! My grandson is afraid. My grandson misses my father and wants to be with my grandfather."

Qin Ruci sobbed softly, hugging the emperor's thigh and refused to let go.

"After the third son's funeral is over, let Si'er come to the palace to accompany me!"

The emperor just felt more distressed, thinking that teaching a child is nothing, it doesn't take much energy.

Su Yizhao raised his eyebrows, sure enough!Born in the royal family, even a six-year-old child should not be underestimated.

"I also ask the emperor to allow the autopsy." Su Yizhao took a step forward and saluted.

"Go! The third child is absolutely impossible to commit suicide in fear of crime. I know the third child."

Su Yizhao glanced at the third concubine, but she didn't express her opinion, she just kept crying, which should be her acquiescence.

"What about the work just now?"

Su Yizhao asked a guard of the Jingzhao Mansion who was guarding, and the guard pointed to the room next to him.

"The people are right there, and they haven't left."

Su Yizhao nodded and asked the guards to call him over.

"You said that the third prince died of suffocation, but have you carefully looked at the strangle marks on his neck? Does it match the characteristics of a hanging beam?"

Su Yizhao walked around the third prince's body, finally took out a pair of five-finger leather gloves, and began to examine the dead man's neck.

"My lord, it has been checked, and it is indeed a suicide by hanging."

This job is a new face, and it is different from the one I saw before.

"How do you know it's suicide? What if someone hangs him up?"

Wu Zuo was speechless for a while, and then said after a while: "But the officer inspected the corpse and found no signs of struggle."

"It's also possible that he was hung up in a coma. Why did you make such a conclusion before the autopsy?"

Su Yizhao untied the third prince's clothes and found that they were intact, that is to say, the master had not been dissected.

"At that time, the third prince and concubine did not agree to the autopsy, and the lower officials did not dare to make decisions, so they could only judge from the superficial traces. There were no traces of other people in the house, and there were no abnormal traces at the scene, so we made a preliminary conclusion."

Su Yizhao glanced at Wu Zuo, then looked at the face of the deceased, but shook his head.

"He didn't commit suicide by hanging from a beam, but after being hung up, he regained consciousness before dying."

Wuzuo was taken aback, "Why is your lord so determined?"

"Look at its face, it doesn't match the characteristics of suicide by hanging from a beam." Su Yizhao pointed to the face of the corpse and said softly.

"If he hanged himself voluntarily, the corpse's face is clear, his tongue is slightly purple and spits out, and his expression is more serene. But his face is a bit hideous, his eyes are protruding and bloodshot, and his tongue is black and purple and stretched out."

It should be put down when the person is not stiff, so no obvious features of the limbs can be seen.

Wu Zuo suddenly realized, picked up his small notebook and started recording.

Su Yizhao asked Wu Zuo to come forward to remove the clothes, and then asked Wu Zuo to bring his own tools.

"Just now the emperor authorized the autopsy, don't worry, let's start!"

When Wu Zuo heard this, he immediately picked up a pair of big scissors.

Xu Luo took the emperor into another room to rest, but after the emperor sat down, he was still thinking about it.

"Xu Luo, you said that if I didn't thoroughly investigate the case of armaments, wouldn't the third child not die? I believe he did participate in some, but he absolutely didn't know about it, and was just used by others."

Xu Luo thought for a while, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, this is not your reason! If someone has taken advantage of the third prince, then you should find out the truth and return the third prince's innocence, and even the royal family's innocence!"

The emperor was silent, in fact, he was complaining about Su Yizhao and Kang Shiwen just now.

But after thinking about it, there is no reason to blame the two of them.They are also dedicated to their duties, so what is wrong with it?

"Among my sons, only the eldest and the third are the most honest, and the third is also capable of handling affairs, but they all have accidents one after another."

The emperor sighed deeply after speaking, "Power is too charming after all, this is desire."

"Report to the emperor, after another autopsy by Su Sicheng and Wu Zuo, it is concluded that the third prince was murdered to death."

Kang Shiwen's voice sounded outside, and the emperor immediately stood up from the armchair.

"I just said that it is impossible for the third child to commit suicide." The emperor walked towards the door.

He looked at Su Yizhao who was already waiting in the yard, and hurriedly asked, "How do you say it?"

Wu Zuo saluted immediately when he saw the emperor, and he was able to meet the emperor. A lowly official like him is worth his life.

"My Majesty, the Third Prince inhaled a kind of ecstasy fifteen minutes before his death. Someone took advantage of his unconsciousness and hung him on the beam. When he was dying, he was actually slightly conscious."

"The time of death was around three quarters past."

"Drug?" The emperor asked with a frown.

"My majesty, this drug should be the Qiming flower produced in the Western Regions. If you inhale its pollen, you will be unconscious within a few breaths. However, this flower is not poisonous. If you inhale less, you will be unconscious after a quarter of an hour." will wake up."

"Do you know about this flower?" Su Yizhao looked at Wu Zuo, who was so good at conducting autopsies, he didn't expect to know these things outside the customs.

Wu Zuo was a little shy, "Before I was dismissed as an official, I lived in the border for several years, so I have some knowledge about this medicine."

"This medicine will be used to treat trauma. After making people unconscious, they will not feel pain, but there must be enough dosage. But if it is overdose, it will cause death."

Su Yizhao heard what Wu Zuo said, and then realized, isn't this a natural anesthetic?

Things are good things, but people use them to do bad things.

"Is this medicine very common?" Su Yizhao asked quickly, if it was used on border soldiers, wouldn't it be a good thing?

"Of course it's impossible. Generally, the royal families of the Western Regions or high-ranking officials and nobles will use it, because this flower is a bit difficult to raise."

The emperor and Su Yizhao fell into deep thought at the same time, who could afford this kind of pollen?

"And if it is taken in an appropriate amount, it will be difficult to find traces after the drug's effective time has elapsed, and it will not cause any damage to the body. Unless it is within half an hour, there will be some residue in the nose."

After hearing this, Su Yizhao nodded deeply, "It is true that no other abnormalities were found in the internal organs."
