The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 15: Hit him hard in the face (first update)
Xu Jing didn't know that while she was observing the corpse, someone was also observing her.

Xiao Yi stared at Xu Jing, who was looking at the corpse on the ground almost without blinking. There was no fear on his face, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and his brows were frowning more and more unconsciously.

Although no matter what aspect, he didn't want to have anything to do with this woman anymore.

But when they met again this time, this woman stimulated his nerves all the time, conveying to him that she was very suspicious.

Xiao Yi is not a person who likes to ask for trouble, especially for women. He has never wanted to get involved in the slightest. However, as an official of the imperial court and the legitimate son of a wealthy family, his temperament is naturally suspicious.

This woman suddenly changed so drastically, but what's the inside story?
Is this inside story related to him?Is there any threat to him?
Before finding out these things, he seemed unable to immediately draw a line of demarcation with this woman.

However, it was impossible for him to have more interactions with her.

If these changes in her were not a threat to him, he would not have so much curiosity and energy to spend his thoughts on this woman.

If it is found out that there is indeed some conspiracy behind her changes, it is just a case-by-case basis and she will deal with it as she wants.

After all, he and this woman will no longer have any unnecessary involvement.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi retracted his gaze from Xu Jing and looked at Zuo Zuo who was looking at the corpse.

This widower's surname is Wu, and he is the only widower in Anping County. He also helped with the autopsy on previous cases in Anping County.

He first carefully inspected Peng Shi's body from beginning to end, and from time to time he raised his hand to lift Peng Shi's eyelids, pinched Peng Shi's body, and said: "The body of the deceased was already highly stiff. The time of death It is inferred that within twelve hours, except for the wound on the heart, there were no obvious external injuries..."

When he saw the wound on Peng Shi's heart, he was especially serious. He even untied Peng Shi's clothes and leaned down to look at it for a long time.

Soon, a slightly confused look appeared on his face, and he suddenly took out a thick and long silver needle from the tool bag he carried with him. After scrubbing it with soapy water, he inserted it into the mouth of the deceased.

Seeing Wu Zuo's move, everyone in the Peng family was obviously very surprised.

This... isn't this a test that is done only when poisoning is suspected? !
Could it be that this man actually thought that their master might have been poisoned?
Aunt Xue couldn't help but said: "What's wrong with you? Our master was obviously killed with a knife! Do you know how to do an autopsy?"

Xu Jing glanced at Cao and Manager Mu who were standing in front of her calmly. She saw that Cao's face was obviously slightly pale, but Manager Mu still had the expressionless look on his face, his eyes fixed on the ground. Zuo Zuo.

He Xiang supported Mr. Cao, her brows furrowed tightly, and she seemed a little nervous and confused.

Xiao Yi glanced at them, patted the gavel hard, and said in a deep voice: "Quiet!"

After a long time, Wu Zuo took the silver needle out of the corpse's mouth, only to see that a small section of the front end of the silver needle had turned blue-black!

A vague sound of gasping suddenly sounded in the courtroom, and everyone present looked at the silver needle in disbelief.

The silver needle... turned black!

Could it be that Peng Shi was really poisoned? !

At this moment, the man said: "Don't worry, everyone. The blackening of the silver needle does not mean that the deceased was poisoned. It may also be that the silver needle has been contaminated with some dirt in the deceased's body. It needs to be washed with soap and water first." Look, if the black color on the silver needle does not go away, it means that the deceased was poisoned."

When Xu Jing heard this, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.

This work seems to have two brushes. He is right. The silver needle turns black not necessarily because of poison, but it is not because of any dirt.

The principle of silver needle poison testing is that when silver comes into contact with sulfur-containing poisons, the surface will produce black silver sulfide, but when it comes into contact with hydrogen sulfide and other substances produced by the decay of corpses, it will also turn black.After hearing Wu Zuo's words, everyone couldn't help but stare at the silver needle in his hand. They saw him pick up a clean cloth, dip it in some soapy water, and wipe the blackened area of ​​the silver needle vigorously.

Soon, he took the piece of cloth away, and the noise in the court suddenly became louder.

——The black on the silver needle has been wiped away!

Xiao Yi, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but frown slightly and looked at the silver needle in Zuo Zuo's hand.

Seeing this, Wu Zuo put down the silver needle, turned to Xiao Yi's direction, and saluted: "Xiao Shilang, I have carefully inspected this body..."

He paused and seemed to hesitate and said: "This corpse was indeed stabbed to death in the center with a knife. The murder weapon was the knife inserted into the corpse at that time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, He Xiang couldn't help but said excitedly: "Let me tell you, how could our husband be poisoned to death! He was killed by this poisonous woman with a knife!"

"This vicious woman actually has the nerve to avenge her! Now I am even more certain that the murderer is her! She even made Shilang Xiao's work in vain!"

"Such a cruel and vicious woman should be executed immediately! Her two maids, who must be her accomplices, should also be executed together!"

Chunyang and Chunxiang, who had just ignited a glimmer of hope, turned pale and looked at this scene in disbelief.

They turned to look at their wife in panic, and saw that her face was tense, her lips were pursed, her brows were deeply furrowed, and she was looking at Peng Shi on the ground with a strange expression.

Chunyang and Chunxiang thought that their lady was too stimulated and could not react for a moment. Chunxiang couldn't hold back her anger and knelt on the ground with a bang, crying: "Master Xiao, our lady really didn't kill anyone! Please Xiao Xiao The minister is aware of this!"

Even...even if Xiao Shilang has no feelings for their wife, their wife is the biological mother of Xiao Langjun after all!

Did Mr. Xiao really want to watch their wives suffer such injustice?

However, Xiao Yi only had a heavy look in his eyes and did not speak for a long time.

Xu Jing turned to look at him. After a while, she finally saw his thin lips slightly parted and said softly: "Since this is Wu Wuzuo's judgment, I will take it seriously. Come on..."

Xu Jing's eyes widened slightly, and she smiled coldly for a moment.

Very good, she said that this bastard man seemed a little too calm in the face of her change, so he was waiting here.

She didn't believe that with Xiao Yi's ability, he wouldn't be able to see the weirdness of Wu Zuocai.

He didn't mention it at all, only said that he would seriously adopt his judgment.

This man was clearly trying to force her to take action!

But, he underestimated her too much. Did he think that she didn't dare to reveal her trump card in front of him, so he forced her in this way?

Not only did she dare, but she also wanted to let him know that she was no longer the Xu Jing she used to be.

The more suspicious this bastard man is, the more she wants to slap him in the face!

Xu Jing looked at the man above her with a half-smile, then suddenly took a step forward and said in a cold voice: "Shilang Xiao, I am dissatisfied with Wu Wuzuo's judgment. I request you to prove your innocence!"
