The Forensic Doctor's Daughter-in-law

Chapter 457 Husband and wife talk at night, want to plot rebellion (2)
"Did the fourth younger sister find out whose bones it was? Could it be that those soldiers pretending to be bandits robbed the passing merchants of their wealth and killed them?"

"It's possible, but in the past two years, most of the passing merchants have started to take a detour, and there are very few people who pass under these three mountains. Although Xiao Si is not as proficient in autopsy methods as your wife, there are some According to common sense, the bones under the cliff, according to him, the bones under the cliff can really be called numerous bones, and the most important thing is that there are still a few that should have been thrown off the cliff in a few days."

"My husband means that the bones under the cliff are not all the merchants from the past. I understand! Tell me, my husband, is the son of the old lady Bai also sent to this mountain?"

"It's good for the lady to think about it, but there's no need to murder her husband. How can I make you comfortable, lady?" Li Sangong said plaintively.

"Since you have thought of it a long time ago, why didn't you say it earlier? You are asking for trouble." Dou Zihan was a little depressed when he heard this.

"Is the lady planning to serve her husband all night?" Mr. Li San knew that she would play tricks on him again, so he threatened him immediately.

After a while, Third Young Master Li finally felt better, and Dou Zihan withdrew his hand.

Dou Zihan wanted to sleep, but Mr. Li San didn't intend to let her go. Although he was comfortable for the time being, his wife's body was also emotional. He said before that to serve his wife well, the husband naturally said what he said. Difficult to chase.

Dou Zihan's body was a little emotional because the two of them had spent so long on the bed before, but now that he was teased by this person, the emotion became even stronger. The instinct of the body began to overcome his own reason, not to mention, The two of them are a legal couple, so there is no need to deliberately suppress these things.

"My lady, it's comfortable." Seeing her reaction, Mr. Li San felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. He gently wiped off the thin sweat on her face with his palm, and then wiped her body with a clean cloth towel. Both of them were a little tired, so they hugged each other and fell asleep.

On the second day, Dou Zihan met Xiaosi at the breakfast table. After breakfast, Xiaosi took the couple to the courtyard. There were two corpses that were decomposed, and there were still two flesh and blood on them. It is said that when Xiaosi and the others were exploring under the cliff the day before yesterday, these two fresh corpses fell from the sky. At that time, one of them fell not far from where they were standing.

Dou Zihan first inspected the two fresh corpses. Although the two corpses looked like they should have been dead for less than three days, their appearance was really horrible. If they fall down, they will definitely not look very good-looking. What really interests Dou Zihan and Li Sangong and the others is that the two corpses are very thin, almost skinny, with only a bone frame left. The skull was broken, but it was also seen that there was no flesh on the face, and the intact skin exposed was not particularly dark, dry and yellow.

Judging from the superficial characteristics of the two fresh corpses, they should have been in a state of malnutrition for a long time, and their bodies were somewhat bent. Judging from their hands, feet and other places, they looked like hard laborers who had been doing coolies for a long time.There are still many traces of beatings on the body.

In addition, these two people should have been ill before they were alive, and the illness was very serious, and they lost their final use value, so they were thrown from the cliff.

In addition to these two fresh ones, Xiao Si and the others also brought back two dry bones, which were also the bones of adult men. However, judging from the overall characteristics of the bones, these bones died within three or four years. The flesh may have been eaten by animals under the cliff when it was thrown down, leaving only an incomplete skeleton in the end.

Dou Zihan noticed that some parts of these skeletons were yellowish and had some brown traces. This was proved when she thoroughly examined the two fresh corpses. The composition of the debris is mainly iron.

As we all know, when this pig iron encounters water, it will form rust. It is estimated that when the two corpses that have been dead for several years were thrown down on them or their companions, they also brought a lot of ore debris. Over the years, through the effect of rain, some parts of the bones of the two people were also stained with yellowish brown.

"What did you find, my lady?" Seeing Dou Zihan's pensive look, Third Young Master Li asked.

"Husband, I think I may know why those soldiers pretended to be bandits."

"Tell me, lady." Hearing this, the third son of Li knew what his wife had really discovered, and he lifted his spirits. He had already told the emperor about the situation in Muyun City. The matter of the bandits will be resolved sooner or later. , and now discovering more, we can find a better solution.

"There may be a large iron mine in these three mountains, and nine out of ten of these people are miners." Dou Zihan pointed to the three corpses.

"Iron ore?" Li Sangong hadn't responded, but Xiao Si shouted out.

"Why are you yelling so loudly?" Mr. Li San said unhappily, but he was still shocked in his heart. In this era, iron, salt and other things are nationalized, especially iron ore, which is strictly restricted. Because this era is originally an era of cold weapons, most of the iron produced by these iron mines is used to make weapons, so no one dares to open the iron mines privately.

If there are really iron mines hidden in the three mountains outside Muyun City, but the imperial court has not heard of it for so many years, it is conceivable that someone must have tampered with it, and what's more, the previous three The death of the prefect may have something to do with the iron mine.

Also, if the iron ore is controlled by soldiers pretending to be bandits, then there is only one possibility left. Someone mines the iron ore and makes weapons, are they planning to rebel?If there were no such soldiers, Mr. Li San might still think that it was the local forces in Muyun City who mined iron ore privately for money, and then smelted or sold the mined iron ore on the spot to make huge profits. That's right, if those people may indeed be soldiers of the imperial court, then this is the only possibility left.

But who is going to rebel?This question has not yet been answered.Mr. Li San didn't have a clue either, only because he didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the court before he planned to join Qiu Wei, especially the question of who should be the emperor.Today's Holy Majesty does not have a biological son. The current Crown Prince is the Emperor's nephew and the son of the Emperor's most beloved younger brother, the Seventh Prince.

This little prince should be about ten years old now. It is said that he is quite intelligent and studious, and he is also favored by the current emperor. Apart from the prince, there are also some vassal kings and county kings in various places. This range is relatively wide. Who is related to the iron mine in the mountains outside Muyun City?
