Chapter 220 Eighth Coffin

Chapter 220 Eighth Coffin

Mu Shiguang saw a figure like a cocoon lying in the copper coffin, and he couldn't help but think that there was such a record in the book: three years after the treasure was opened, there used to be a pair of Yao brothers in Bianliang, Tokyo. The poor eldest brother has been doing hard labor for others all year round, and there is still a wife at home, You Shi, who takes care of his younger brother.

But after a long time, gossip and gossip have emerged, and there are all kinds of things to say, but none of them are pleasant to listen to anyway.When the boss of the Yao family returned to Tokyo a few years later, he died strangely after staying at home for a day.The state of death was quite horrific. Anyone with a clear eye who was bleeding from the seven orifices would know that he was poisoned to death.On the day of the funeral, some good people reported the death of elder brother Yao's family to the officials.The magistrate of Kaifeng prefecture was a nerd who took office not long ago. After receiving the case, he brought Wu Zuo, a government servant, to Yao's house. Wu Zuo verified on the spot that Yao's eldest brother was indeed poisoned to death.This is terrible, the Yao family's second brother and You Shi, together with the dead body of the Yao family's boss, were all taken back to the Kaifeng government office.

After the court trial, it was good for the boss of the Yao family to be seen by someone when he arrived home.During this period, I didn't go out, and the food I ate was You's cuisine, and the three of them ate in a pot, but the boss of the Yao family was poisoned to death...

It was too easy for the county magistrate to investigate the case. The second brother of the Yao family poisoned the boss of the Yao family to death because he wanted to be a long-term husband and wife with You.Nayou was asked to confess his guilt in the courtroom.But Youshi only pleaded wrong and refused to plead guilty. The Yamen slapped the gavel and asked the Yamen servant to give Youshi [-] boards first.The yamen servants couldn't help but say that they would beat Youshi when she lifted her skirt when she was knocked down. At that time, women only had two pieces of shin trousers wrapped from knee to toe in their long skirts.The pain of being beaten with Youshi's bare buttocks is the second, and the most unbearable is the shyness and grievance in his heart.Before the board was finished, You Shi had already committed suicide by biting his tongue...

Seeing You Shi committing suicide, the nerd thinks that Youshi died in fear of crime, so he recognizes the reason for his death and then interrogates the Yao family's second brother.Unexpectedly, the second brother of the Yao family saw that his brothers and sisters-in-law were all dead, and without saying a word, he bit off his own finger and wrote four sentences on the hall dripping blood, "A brother is like a father, and a sister-in-law is a mother." .Confused dog official, disregarding human life! ’ After writing the words, he slammed his head against the stone beam of the public hall and died. The yamen servants standing on both sides were shocked, the county magistrate in the hall was shocked, and the idlers watching the excitement outside the yamen were also shocked...

The Yao family brothers and You Shi are all dead, so the case is considered closed.But it was never expected that from then on, women could be heard crying and complaining of grievances every night in Bianliang, and what's more, they saw You Shi, who was bleeding from his mouth, dragging his broken tongue, wandering in Bianliang, Tokyo.In less than ten days and half a month, the whole of Tokyo will be in a panic, and the people will be in panic all day long...

This incident finally alarmed one person, Zhao Pu, the founding prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty.Zhao Pu claimed to be a famous figure who ruled the world with half of the Analects of Confucius. When he found out, he immediately checked the files of the Yao family brothers.After an investigation, they found doubts. If the second brother of the Yao family had an affair with You Shi and poisoned him to death, wouldn't the eldest brother of the Yao family do something stupid to let fools know that he would cheat?Zhao Pu repeatedly sent people to inquire about the affair between the Yao family's second brother and Na You Shi, but the result was that some people were jealous of You Shi's beauty, and there was no evidence to speak of.

That night, Zhao Pumiansheng reported the matter to Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty.Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was also a gangster before he became a great treasure, drinking and fighting was a common occurrence.However, Zhao Kuangyin is straight-tempered and hates to see the people being wronged the most. After hearing Zhao Pu's words, Long Yan was really furious.As soon as Jinkou asked Zhao Pu to investigate the matter thoroughly, Zhao Pu dug up the bodies of the two brothers of the Yao family and Youshi from the ground after receiving the order. There is white silk covering the whole body.The people around Zhao Pu were shocked when they saw it, and Wu Zuo told Zhao Pu that it was caused by the grievances of the unjustly dead. This woman must have great grievances.

Zhao Pu erected a three-foot pergola on the spot, and asked Wu Zuo to disembowel and disembowel the boss of the Yao family to find out what kind of poison the boss of the Yao family was poisoned to death.All the best eunuchs in Kaifeng Mansion were recruited by Zhao Pu to the arbor, and the people in Tokyo knew that the prime minister of the current dynasty came to investigate the case in person, and there were many people standing outside the arbor.Wu Zuo cut open the stomach of the boss of the Yao family, and there was still undigested food in the stomach.But they were just some ordinary meals, and there was no trace of poison burning in the stomach, and the silver needle was inserted into the abdominal cavity, and the silver needle immediately turned black...

This is strange, there is an old man with white beard and eyebrows in the work.He bowed his head and turned the Yao family boss's abdomen a few times, knelt down and said loudly: "Report to Prime Minister, the villain has found the cause of death."

"Oh? Who are you? Quickly tell me how this guy died?" Zhao Pu asked while enduring the stench of dead bodies in the arbor.

The old man kowtowed and said: "My lord, the villain's surname is Gong and his name is Tian Yang. He is an official of the yamen of the Criminal Department of Dali Temple. According to the villain's investigation, this person died of poisoning because of eating chicken. Please enlighten me."

"What? He was poisoned to death by eating chicken? Gong Tianyang, do you know that this case has already shocked Long Live, if you dare to talk nonsense, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor and you will be beheaded!" Zhao Pu was tricked by the old man With three points of sullenness, eating chicken will poison people to death?Facing tens of thousands of people in Tokyo, isn't this a child's play?The words have become more serious, which means that whoever is prevaricated today will definitely be severely punished.

Gong Tianyang was not afraid and stood up, and said to the white sticky thing in the stomach of the boss of the Yao family: "Master Prime Minister, Gong Tianyang dared to make such an assertion after working for 35 years. If the prime minister does not believe it, the villain will open the abdominal cavity of the other two on the spot. The death of these three people is only a few hours apart. Get lost!"

Now that it's all said and done, Zhao Pu was forced to die by him.Zhao Pu stroked his beard and pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, it's a deal. If, as you said, this man was poisoned to death after eating chicken, then this old man will play for you and give you the first victory in solving the case. But you want to take the opportunity Fishing in troubled waters, let me tell you, I will never condone traitors. Come on, they will cut open the abdominal cavity of the other two people." Hearing the prime minister's words, the servants in the arbor were all sweating secretly for Gong Tianyang ...

At the same time, Wu Zuo cut open the abdominal cavity of You Shi and the Yao family's second brother, and there were only some vegetable leaves and rice residues inside, but no chicken.Zhao Pu slapped his thigh in shock and said, "Gong Tianyang, how did you know that they didn't have chicken in their stomachs? Then how could chicken poison people to death? Please explain this to me clearly."

Gong Tianyang knelt down and said in a deep voice: "The villain didn't know it was just a guess. I saw that the second younger brother of the Yao family and Youshi killed themselves by cutting off their tongues, and the other died by breaking their heads. Looking at the skinny bodies of the two of them, it must be It was hard to eat, and when I opened the abdomen of the boss of the Yao family, I found chicken. I already understood that Youshi and the second brother of the Yao family must have given the old hen that they had raised at home for a long time to Yao who had not returned home for a long time. The boss became food. It’s just that Youshi didn’t know about the arsenic competition in hens for many years, and Youshi and the Yao family brothers saved the chicken for the boss of the Yao family, but it hurt him!”

Zhao Pu was stunned by Gong Tianyang's words and shouted: "Where is the dibao? Come out and answer!" The Prime Minister investigated the case and the people in Tokyo had already rushed to tell each other, and it didn't take long for a voice to come back from outside the crowd.

"Report to the Prime Minister, Liu Fafa, the Bianliang Wuding Household Dibao, has seen the Prime Minister." The crowd was immediately divided into a way for the speaker to come forward, and the visitor fell to his knees on the ground outside the arbor.He replied: "My lord prime minister, this official is right. You's indeed lived by raising chickens at home to lay eggs and sell them for money. After You's accident, those chickens were still hunting for food and bringing them back to their cages." , the villain can go and get those chickens to the prime minister right now."

Zhao Pu nodded and said: "That's very good, come here. Quickly follow the Dibao to bring all the chickens, and I will verify it in court!" Several soldiers from the Song Army lined up and pulled the Dibao to catch the chickens up.An hour later, the soldiers came to the shed with the chickens.Zhao Pu ordered Murder on the spot to feed the dog to test the poison. The dog ate the chicken and within less than a cup of tea, his limbs convulsed, his mouth and nose were bleeding and he fell to the ground and died...

The case was clarified, and Youshi didn't know that the old hen had been eating wild animals and weeds for many years, and the poison was hidden in the chicken head.He kindly killed the chicken for the boss of the Yao family but instead harmed him. Prime Minister Zhao Pu personally pardoned You Shi.The white silk on Youshi's body immediately disintegrated, and there was no more nighttime crying.This is the famous injustice case in the Northern Song Dynasty...

When Mu Shiguang was staring at the corpse in the copper coffin, he suddenly saw the stomach of the dead man wriggling in the copper coffin...

"Hong...Uncle Hong...Uncle Hong, wake up...the dead...the dead are moving..." Mu Shiguang shook Hong Chendong violently, and shouted incoherently.

After Hong Chendong woke up, he also saw the corpse inside the copper coffin, the belly of the dead person was gradually bulging like a piece of hair cake.The white calluses on the dead man's body quickly became thinner after seeing the wind, and Hong Chendong said in shock: "It's really... Li Shuang'er, this woman is really Li Shuang'er. I know her, and I can't be wrong." The white silk on the woman's face has faded. It's like thin paper, showing a hideous face.A pair of eyes were deeply sunken in the eye sockets, and the facial features were not like those of a living person, but were shrunk into a ball.Because of the skin folds, the lips show two rows of teeth, the upper and the lower.Suddenly, Li Shuang'er's eyes opened wide, and her cloudy eyeballs stared at Hong Chendong. Hong Chendong screamed in shock and hurriedly stepped back a few steps.

Mu Shiguang was also stunned by Li Shuang'er, and stammered, "Li... Miss Li... I know you have been wronged, but... but we are all good people..."

Li Shuang'er in the copper coffin turned her eyes towards Mu Shiguang, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't.No matter how bold Mu Shiguang was, he could only hear the sound of "咴儿...咴儿...". He gripped his iron hoe and looked at Li Shuang'er in the copper coffin...

Li Shuang'er's skinny hand broke out of the white cocoon, stretched straight to the sky, and stretched five pointed fingers towards her swollen belly. A cloud of blood mist rose from the sound of "Peng"'s belly being ripped open, and the blood mist splashed on the inner wall of the copper coffin, creating bursts of black smoke. After the black smoke passed, Li Shuang'er in the copper coffin turned into a puddle of blood, And in the bloody water lay a baby girl lying on her back...
