The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 46 Autopsy
News in the capital always spread quickly, and the second match between Liu Wei and Shen Tan soon spread to everyone.

"I've heard, this time it's a murder case, so I don't know if Concubine Liu can do it?"

"I'm still very optimistic about Consort Liu, this time I'm sure I can defeat Kaifeng Mansion..."

When Liu Wei rushed to Kaifeng Mansion in a hurry, Kaifeng Mansion was as crowded as yesterday.

As soon as Liu Wei got off the carriage, all the people were taken aback, because they saw the clothes on Liu Wei's body, which were obviously the clothes of an official from Kaifeng Mansion, but why would Liu Wei wear these clothes?

The common people only watched the excitement, but they didn't think much about it, but Jin Wang and the others wanted Liu Wei to be an official to save the reputation of Kaifeng Mansion. The common people didn't think much about it, but they had to say it.

For this reason, before starting the trial, Su Tongkan explained Liu Wei's identity first. After saying this, the common people would naturally understand that it was originally a competition between Liu Wei and Kaifeng Mansion, but now it has become an insider of Kaifeng Mansion. In the competition between the two push officials, no matter who wins or loses, it has no effect on Kaifeng Mansion.

Of course, many people don't think about it in depth. For them, as long as there is something exciting to watch, it will be fine.

After Su Tongjian finished speaking outside the Kaifeng mansion, he smiled slightly at Liu Wei and said, "Master Liu, please."

Liu Wei smiled lightly: "Please, Mr. Su."

When the two of them entered the lobby, they heard bursts of sobbing. The sobbing sound echoed in the majestic lobby, like a devil crying, which made people's hearts tremble slightly.

Kneeling on the lobby, a man and a woman, plus a dead body.

It was the woman who sobbed, apparently the family of the deceased.

King Jin saw Liu Wei coming, so he saluted Zhao Kuangyin slightly, and then patted the gavel tree, saying: "The people who are kneeling in the hall, tell the grievance quickly."

After finishing speaking, the weeping woman suddenly wailed: "My lord, please be the master for the women, my husband is wronged by his death..."

At this time Liu Wei was already standing beside Shen Tan, seeing Shen Tan's disdainful expression, Liu Wei smiled lightly, and said softly, "Master Shen seems very confident today."

"Naturally, today I must win you..." Tan Shen wanted to say something provocative, but Liu Wei suddenly made a gesture of hissing, then pointed at the woman in the hall, and said, "Listen to the case first."

Shen Tan was taken aback for a moment, and then a burst of anger surged up, you started the conversation first, but you didn't let me say it, what do you mean?
But at this time, the woman had finished crying and was about to narrate the case, and Tan Shen couldn't care less about Liu Wei.

"The woman's husband is Chen Ada, a carpenter. Yesterday, Qian Wu on the same street asked my husband to make him a box. The agreed price was [-] Wen. But today, when Qian Wu came to my house to pick up the box, he didn't know what to do. If you have to give me [-] Wen, my husband does not agree. The box was made by your husband after a whole night. We will lose [-] Wen. For this reason, my husband reasoned with Qian Wu and said something about looking down on Qian Wu. If so, I never thought that Qian Wu would be so angry that he punched my husband in the chest and killed him; the women are lonely and helpless, what should we do in the future..."

After the woman finished speaking, Qian Wu, who was kneeling beside her, hurriedly came out to defend herself: "Your Excellency, I really want Chen Ada to make a box for you, but yesterday it was agreed to be [-] Wen, but today when I went to get it, This Mrs. Chen insisted on asking me for a hundred coins, and the villain just reasoned with this woman. He clearly agreed on eighty coins, so why should he ask me for a hundred coins? The villain didn't beat him, he died suddenly, maybe he was poisoned by this woman, and the villain heard that this woman's reputation is not very good."

"You...you fart, you have a bad reputation..."

Chen yelled out of embarrassment and anger, and the lobby immediately became a vegetable market, Liu Wei touched his nose, and smiled faintly at Shen Tan: "Master Shen, these two people have already said what they should say, you came first Trial, or are you coming down for trial?"

Shen Tan remembered the consequences of Liu Wei's first trial yesterday, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Of course I will try first."

Liu Weiwei cupped his hands: "Please!"

Shen Tan took a step forward and asked for an autopsy, but before he did the autopsy, he found a yamen servant, and after whispering something in the yamen servant's ear, the yamen servant hurried away, and the yamen servant left, Shen Tan took off the clothes of the deceased .

After inspecting the deceased up and down, Detective Shen looked calm, but he did not speak in a hurry, but declared that he would wait for news from the yamen servants. King Jin nodded and allowed him to wait.

At this time, outside the Kaifeng Mansion, the common people were already talking about it.

"This Chen Ada has always been honest, but unexpectedly died like this, what a pity, what a pity..."

"Oh, what can I do if I marry a woman like Chen's?"

"Brother, you can't say that. Marrying a wife is like gambling. No one knows what the outcome will be. I think that Qian Wu is very suspicious..."

When the common people were discussing, the yamen servant sent by Shen Tan hurried back, and then whispered something in Shen Tan's ear, after listening to Shen Tan, he nodded slightly, then cupped his hands to King Jin and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates know Who is the murderer?"

As soon as Shen Tan's words came out, everyone was startled and shocked. King Jin frowned slightly, but still nodded and said: "Since Mr. Shen knows the murderer, please explain."

Inspector Shen took the order, then stood beside the corpse, and said: "The deceased has no injuries on his whole body, but his face turned purple. This is obviously a symptom of poisoning. Just now, my subordinate ordered the guards to inquire about Mrs. Chen's conduct, and learned that the surrounding Neighbors have a very bad opinion of her, a woman with bad conduct is likely to conspire with her mistress to murder her husband, and then put the blame on Qian Wu."

After speaking, Shen Tan suddenly cast his eyes on the kneeling Chen Shi, and said coldly: "Chen Shi, can you plead guilty?"

Chen's face was slightly frightened, and suddenly he burst into tears, crying and shouting: "You murderer, you are dead, I am already very lonely, and now there are people who frame me for killing you, I am dead , no longer alive..."

The lobby seemed noisy, Shen Tan frowned slightly, and sternly shouted: "Since you refuse to plead guilty, then don't blame me for serving the punishment, come..."

Before Tan Tan finished speaking, Liu Wei suddenly stood up and stopped him: "Master Shen, before you use the punishment, can I have a trial first?"

"You?" Shen Tan was full of disdain, he had already experienced the corpse, and there was no trace of being beaten all over his body, so he could be sure that Qian Wu was not lying, and Chen's character was not good, so Chen was undoubtedly the murderer , Liu Wei still needs to test, what can he test out?

"That's right, I also want to do an autopsy. Could it be that Mr. Shen refuses to allow it?"

Shen Tan frowned slightly: "Why don't you allow it? Is it possible that the officer is still afraid of you?"

Liu Wei smiled lightly: "That's it, then the official will start the autopsy." After speaking, Liu Wei came to Chen Ada's body, but he didn't touch the body, but squatted aside and took a few glances.

Seeing that Liu Wei didn't even touch the dead body, the people around him were even less optimistic about him, thinking that he didn't even dare to touch the dead body, and there would be an autopsy there. Could it be that he was just pretending?

Seeing him like this, Shen Tan was quite proud, and said: "Master Liu, can you check it?"

Liu Wei turned his head and took a look at Shen Tan, then moved his neck left and right, then got up, and said: "No, I need a complicated autopsy procedure, please allow the prince."

At this time, the King of Jin had lost confidence in Liu Wei, but Liu Wei asked for another test, and he couldn't object, saying: "Okay, how do you want to test it?"

"Subordinates need a pit two and a half feet deep and six feet long, and then wine and vinegar."

"Okay, my king ordered someone to do it."

King Jin gave orders, and at this time Liu Wei was very indifferent, no matter how puzzled the surrounding people were about his behavior, he did not intend to explain it.

Princess Ruyi stood in the crowd, cold sweat broke out on her forehead because of anxiety, her palms in the green clothes were already wet, and she rubbed her hands while asking, "Princess, the son-in-law should be able to win, right?"

Princess Ruyi's expression was gloomy, and she didn't know if Liu Wei could win. Judging from the current situation, there were no scars on the body, so Liu Wei's chance of winning was not high.

When the yamen servant was preparing what Liu Wei needed, the King of Jin looked at Su and said, "Mr. Su is well-informed, so you know what Liu Wei is going to do?"

Su Tong looked wryly and shook his head: "My lord, I'm afraid the subordinates don't know what he's going to do."

King Jin was stunned, but felt more and more that Liu Wei was playing tricks.

Here Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu are also puzzled.

"Zeping, what do you think we should do?"

Zhao Pu showed embarrassment, and said: "Your Majesty, even this humble minister who does an autopsy can't do it, this... I can't help even if I want to, but from the perspective of this humble minister, Concubine Liu is still very confident, let's just wait .”

When Zhao Pu said this, even he himself felt not so confident, Zhao Kuangyin sighed softly and nodded slightly.

Not long after, the yamen servant came to report that everything that Liu Weirang had prepared was ready. King Jin nodded, then looked at Liu Wei, and said, "Lord Liu, what should we do next?"

"Heat the pit, then put the corpse in, cover it with a cloth, wait for the corpse to warm up, spray wine vinegar on the paper, and stick the paper on the corpse, and then you will see."

After Liu Wei finished speaking, everyone went with the guards in the inner courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion, and then put the body into the heated pit as Liu Wei said. While waiting for the body to warm up, everyone was still full of doubts.

The people outside the government office went in without knowing it. When they heard that Liu Wei ordered people to dig a hole, they immediately started guessing.

"Master Liu, don't you think it's unreasonable to dig a hole to bury that Chen Ada, and then come and finish it all?"

"It's very possible. There is no wound on the corpse. Master Liu must be dying..."

"No, I feel that Master Liu's actions have their own reasons, and we'll just wait for the news..."

Just when the common people were discussing outside the mansion, in Kaifeng mansion, the yamen servant had already pasted the paper sprayed with wine and vinegar on the body according to Liu Wei's words, and at about the same time, he followed Liu Wei's words and gave the paper to the corpse. took it down.

And when the paper was taken down, everyone couldn't help being startled.
