Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Waiting for the Results[Dead: Heng Hui]
[Cause of death: A sharp blade pierced the heart (old wound). ]
[Autopsy results: The flesh and internal organs are black and purple, and there are corpse poisons walking between the flesh and blood, which keeps the body from decaying. It is a walking corpse, and the time of death is more than one year.]
[Dead: Unknown corpse]
[Height 5 feet 4 inches, female, well-proportioned bones, no fractures, no signs of poisoning, well-proportioned finger bones, not good at labor...]
In the government office, Xu Qi'an read the autopsy reports, exchanged them with the coroner, and turned to the front hall next to the autopsy room.
Ten Jinluo gathered together, Wei Yuan sat at the top, drinking tea with a solemn expression. Xu Qi'an walked silently behind Wei Yuan and listened to the Jinluo arguing about the true identity of the female corpse, the connection between Princess Pingyang and the Sangpo case. The case of Princess Pingyang has been preliminarily concluded for now. I don't think I can get involved in the follow-up investigation... This involves the murder of a princess, which is not something a copper gong like me can participate in.
But the Sangpo case is still unsolved... I don't know if my contribution in the Pingyang Princess case can offset my crime of beheading... If not, I will fuck Yuan Jingdi's uncle.
Just as I was complaining in my heart, a clerk stood at the door and said, "Duke Wei, gentlemen, Prince Yu is here."
Prince Yu is here... The gold gongs exchanged glances with each other and looked at Wei Yuan together.
The blue-clothed eunuch with gray hair drank the last sip of tea, looked at the clerk, and said gently, "Please ask Prince Yu to go to the autopsy room."
After saying that, he put down the cup, sighed, and went to the autopsy room first, followed everyone in the side hall.
When they arrived outside the autopsy room, the gold gongs did not go in, but lined up on both sides of the door, and only Wei Yuan entered.
Prince Yu came. This sickly man walked in expressionlessly. His face was expressionless, but it seemed to gather all the expressions.
His steps were neither fast nor slow, but it seemed as if there was an evil ghost chasing him behind him....
When he walked to the door of the autopsy room, he paused for a few seconds before raising his leg to cross the threshold.
The autopsy room had excellent lighting. The bright sunlight shone through the lattice windows, leaving even spots of light on the ground.
Prince Yu saw the corpse on the wooden bed at a glance. At this moment, he had the urge to escape from here.
But as a father, his obsession made him walk over slowly.
Wei Yuan was the only one in the autopsy room. He took out the gold hairpin from his sleeve and whispered, "This is what she found on her body. It was also used by her to commit suicide. Let's see if you know it."
Prince Yu's eyes froze, and his expression froze, like a gradually weathered sculpture. "It's hers." Prince Yu said in a bitter voice.
The empty room fell into a dead silence, and the two middle-aged men did not speak again. After a long time, Prince Yu looked down at the golden hairpin and asked hoarsely, "Who did it?"
"Only three people were found, Pingyuan Bo, Zhang Feng, the Minister of War, and Du Jishizhong of the Ministry of Revenue." Wei Yuan stared at him, his deep eyes containing the vicissitudes of time:
"The three people's original plan should have been to trick her out of the capital, but their sons were attracted by her beauty and never thought of letting the princess who was out of Prince Yu's sight go back alive."
"She was insulted?" Prince Yu's voice was terribly calm.
"She swallowed the hairpin and committed suicide." Wei Yuan shook his head, and then looked at Prince Yu deeply: "But we still can't be sure that she is a princess. A golden hairpin doesn't mean anything.
"I think you know what to do."
Prince Yu left. Except for the one glance when he stepped into the autopsy room, he never looked at the corpse again, not even once. It seemed that it was something terrifying.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but looking at his departing back, Xu Qiyan felt that Prince Yu had aged for a long time in an instant, and his back had a kind of desolation of his twilight
years.
That day, Prince Yu entered the palace with a blood letter in his hand.
After Prince Yu left, Xu Qiyan, who had originally planned to quietly wait for the end of the Pingyang County Princess case in order to obtain important clues about the Sangpo case, received an invitation from the eldest princess Huaiqing.
The messenger was a handsome errand boy, that is, a young eunuch.
"What does the eldest princess want to see me about?" Xu Qiyan asked.
"I don't know. "The little eunuch was taciturn, well versed in the art of survival in the palace, and his mouth was tighter than a chrysanthemum.
..... It was probably because of Princess Pingyang, Xu Qiyan guessed.
He rode all the way to the imperial city, entered the palace, and was led by the little eunuch to Princess Huaiqing's elegant garden.
In the pavilion in the garden, Xu Qiyan met Princess Huaiqing, the second princess Biao Biao, the crown prince, and Princess Huaiqing's brother, the fourth prince.
"I have met several of your highnesses." Xu Qiyan stood outside the pavilion and clasped his
fists.
Princess Lin'an waved her hand and shouted happily: "Dog slave, come in and sit down."
When did dog slave become my nickname? Xu Qiyan was a little confused, and glanced at the crown prince and Princess Huaiqing. The latter said in a cold voice: "Don't be so polite, give Lord Xu a seat."
The maid brought a chair and placed it opposite the princes.
The eldest princess Huaiqing looked at him and said, "Prince Yu came into the palace with a blood letter today. He has not come out since his father summoned him. I remember you were investigating the case of Princess Pingyang. Have you made any progress?"
His Royal Highness, the Fourth Prince, and Princess Lin'an were all staring at him, waiting for
his answer.
Princess Pingyang was their cousin, and they grew up together and had a deep affection for
each other.
"Princess Pingyang..." Xu Qian'an took a deep breath and began to tell the story.
This is a simple and plain love story, but it is destined to be extraordinary, because the heroine in the story is a princess of noble status, and she should never, ever fall in love with a Sёarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
monk.
But the taste of love is so wonderful that she is willing to give up everything, give up wealth and honor, give up her status as a royal family, leave the capital with him, and spend the rest
of her life together.
However, not all love has an ending. The talented men and beautiful women in the storybooks can always get married, because that is the storybook. There are too many unpredictable
changes in reality.
They finally became victims of political struggles. Perhaps before the disaster came, the lovers were still enjoying a future of living together.
Xu Qian'an told the story calmly, and recalled a song he had heard many years ago:
"Mandarin ducks live together and butterflies fly together, the spring scenery in the garden is
intoxicating."
"I quietly ask the holy monk, is my daughter beautiful, is my daughter beautiful."
"What's the use of royal power and wealth, what's the use of precepts and rules."
"I only wish to be with my beloved forever."
He had never seen Princess Pingyang, but he seemed to see a bright girl with a pair of smiling
eyes, standing coquettishly beside the handsome monk.
Put a wild flower in her hair and ask him, who is more beautiful, the flower or me.
"You, what did you sing just now?" Princess Lin'an had red eyes, bit her lips, and her voice
was crying.
Xu Qian'an suddenly realized that he had sung it unconsciously.
He hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I couldn't help myself and offended Princess Pingyang."
Princess Huaiqing stared at him deeply, thinking for a few seconds before keeping her voice
calm and saying, "I already know, you can leave."
Xu Qian'an left quickly, and vaguely heard Princess Lin'an crying behind him.
...
A carriage came galloping and stopped at the bottom of the Observatory. Eunuch Liu, who was white and beardless but had some crow's feet, jumped off the carriage in a panic without
waiting for the servants to bring the ladder.
Eunuch Liu rushed into the Observatory, holding up the imperial edict in his hand: "Your Majesty has ordered that the Supervisor enter the palace immediately."
He shouted three times in a row.
In order to prevent the astronomical strategists of the Sitianjian from colluding with officials,
the court ordered that the qi-watching technique would not work on officials of the fourth
rank and above.
But there was one exception, the Supervisor!
"Don't shout, the teacher has already gone to the palace. "
A voice suddenly came from the side, and Eunuch Liu turned his head sharply and saw Yang
Qianhuan in white standing with his hands behind his back, his back to him.
"Yang Qianhuan, when did you return to Beijing?" Eunuch Liu was startled.
"I came back when Beijing needed me." Yang Qianhuan said in a steady tone. "You are talking nonsense all day long, and you can't speak properly? "Eunuch Liu spitted at
him unhappily and turned away.
"..." Yang Qianhuan.
....
The night watchman's office.
In the quiet room, Xu Qiyan, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, suddenly felt palpitations, just like the palpitations when he heard the beeping of QQ after staying up all
night.
This is the "message prompt" unique to the fragments of the Earth Book. He interrupted his meditation and took out the jade mirror.
[Number Nine: Number Six has been found. He is currently in the night watchman's office.
You can rest assured.]
Seeing this, Xu Qiyan frowned. He thought to himself, Taoist priest, aren't you saying
nakedly: There are traitors of the Tiandihui in the night watchman's office.
[Five: Found number six? But, number six is more dangerous in the night watchman's office. I
heard that the night watchmen in Dafeng are all evil and ruthless.] [Number One: Don't believe all rumors. Taoist priest, did you find number six?]
[Nine: As expected, No. 6 was indeed sealed. The person who sealed him was a strong man in a
black robe. He exuded a dangerous aura, which made me afraid to act rashly, so I revealed the matter to the night watchman's office. ]
The Taoist priest's words are good, so my source of information can be explained. If No. 1
holds a high position in the court, he must have known about the case of Princess Pingyang.
Reverse reasoning, I, the copper gong that discovered Henghui's traces, will become very suspicious... And the Taoist priest's words are equivalent to patching me up.
If someone asks, I can say that it was reported by the enthusiastic Chaoyang people.
Thus, I can clear my relationship with No. 3.
[Number 1: I got a message that the Sangpo case involved the disappearance of Princess
Pingyang a year ago. Soon, the capital will usher in a big storm.]
[Four: What's going on?]
Number 4 jumped out to eat melons.
Number One briefly told the members of the Tiandihui about the case of Princess Pingyang.
With just a few words, he sketched out a bloodless party and government in everyone's mind.
This gave everyone ample room for association.
[Five: This, this... Are the people of Dafeng evil? They are so mean and insidious. ]
[Four: Who found out about this case?]
Seeing this question, Xu Qiyan raised his eyebrows and entered the information: [I heard that
it was a Tongluo in the night watchman's office, named Xu Qiyan. ] [Four: Xu Qiyan? Why does it sound familiar.]
[Three: Number One mentioned this person when he investigated the Qingqi Chongxiao of
Yunlu Academy. I also noticed him, observed him, and came to a terrible conclusion. ] [Terrible conclusion? ] Several members of the Tiandihui successively raised similar
questions.
[Three: This kid is extremely smart and has unparalleled talent. He is definitely not an
ordinary person. ]
To be praised by No. 3, this Tongluo named Xu Qi'an must be a very powerful character... Everyone silently remembered this name.
Taoist Master Jinlian was a little embarrassed and didn't say anything.
At this time, No. 2 popped up and said: [No. 3, I found Zhou Chixiong's trace. ]
No. 1, who didn't respond when Xu Qi'an was bragging, immediately jumped out and said, [Where is he?]
[Two: One of my brothers saw him in a mountain stronghold. That mountain stronghold
happens to be the stronghold I want to destroy recently. You wait, and I will send him back to the capital after I eliminate the stronghold.]
Did No. 2 really find Zhou Chixiong? Yunzhou is so big and banditry is rampant. Even if she has
a lot of power in Yunzhou, she couldn't find Zhou Chixiong so quickly... Either it's a coincidence, or I underestimated No. 2's ability... Xu Qi'an clapped his hands excitedly. If Zhou Chixiong is caught, we will know who is the mastermind behind the collusion with the
demon clan.
[Three: Thank you.]
[Two: It's a small matter. Friends from all over the world are willing to give me face. Finding
someone is nothing to me. ]
Your face is extraordinary... Everyone thought.
After the internal communication of Tiandihui, Xu Qian'an felt much more at ease. Zhou Chixiong was another insurance for him. If he caught this man, even if he couldn't get him
acquitted in the Pingyang County Princess case, he would still not panic.
Now, he just had to wait for the result of the case.
