The yamen's office suddenly became noisy.
In order to eliminate the influence of Ye Lianhe in the hearts of the people, Ye Feian had deliberately sent Liu Changsheng, the head of the Temple, to the yamen of Fengtian in order to let everyone in the capital see how the Guangling Manor regarded human life as something so as to oppress the people.
However, he was still too young, so it was not easy for him to come up with a plan to save so many lives.
After all, the two of them were facing the old and vicious Ye Lianhe, who had been crawling around in the imperial court for many years. Although Ye Lianhe's tactics were tricky to deal with, as long as he was patient and took them down one by one, it would not cause much harm.
Liu Changsheng saw the doubt in the hearts of the people, so he quickly gave another two dry coughs and said, "Anyway, many people say that the deceased died from food poisoning in the restaurant. This official thinks that this matter needs to be decided again!"
Right now, he could only delay the matter as long as he could. In the end, everyone thought that it was the Guang Ling King who used his authority to threaten him so that he would not be able to solve the case. He could also complete the mission given to him by Ye Feian.
Or he could force that steward into the prison and have him killed in the dark and write down a suicide note that would also be able to solve the case.
Ye Lianhe naturally understood what this old fellow was planning. He knew that this matter could only be resolved in this court today, or else there would be endless troubles in the future.
He immediately waved his hand and said, "Sir Liu, this matter is a matter of life and death, and cannot be delayed. Sir, please bring the corpses of the deceased to the hall. Sir Dong, may I trouble you to send someone to the Discipline Hall to request for a coroner.
Liu Changsheng was not sure. It seemed that Ye Liancheng was determined to finish the case today, but he had no choice but to compliment him. "Your Highness is wise."
A few moments later, a few experienced coroners arrived with a toolkit.
In order to prevent the families of the deceased from making a ruckus when their families were about to die, the yamen runners used fences to block off the victims.
At this time, a few corpses covered with white cloth had already been carried into the hall. Although it was early spring, this corpse had already started to show signs of being dead.
Several coroners covered their faces with black gauze and looked at the corpse. The corpse's face was sallow yellow, and blood oozed out of the seven orifices of their eyes, ears, noses, and mouths. When they touched the abdomen of the corpse, it was soft and rotten.
The dead were big, but coroners often destroyed corpses to restore the authenticity of the case.
The black gauze was not only used to prevent the corpses from splashing onto their faces but it was also used to hide their faces. It was also used to prevent the families of the dead from getting into trouble.
Reporting to Your Highness, we have verified that the time of death of these dead people was between yesterday afternoon and evening." Reporting to Your Highness, we have verified that the time of death of these dead people was between yesterday afternoon and evening.
When these words were spoken, the yamen was immediately in an uproar.
Everyone was discussing why someone in the restaurant would bring arsenic to the customers.
Upon hearing the coroner's description of their dead bodies, the few victims once again thought of yesterday's disaster and burst into tears.
At this time, the situation was still uncontrollable, Liu Changsheng was ecstatic in his heart, what he wanted was this kind of chaos, the more chaotic it would be, the more beneficial it would be for him.
Ye Lianhe then asked the coroner, "Based on your experience, how much arsenic do you need to kill in a short period of time?"
The coroner looked at the silver needles and asked about the time of death of the several people. He calculated before answering, "Your Highness, these people were all poisoned within a short period of time. As a result, each of them received at least one or two doses of arsenic.
If they were to add up, the amount of arsenic in the water would be at least seven to eight grams. With so much arsenic in the water, it would be impossible to completely melt it.
As such, I believe that the arsenic poisoning is not in the pot, but elsewhere.
Ye Lianhe was very satisfied with the result. As he had expected, he had led the case to this point so that they could tell everyone the cause of their deaths. Although the coroner did not directly say that they did not die because they ate the food in the restaurant, his words had pulled the relationship between this case and the restaurant apart.
"Then in your opinion, these troublesome people must have eaten the arsenic themselves and ended up in the hands of the king."
Liu Changsheng pretended to be confused and said to the coroner.
The coroners had been dealing with the dead for many years, and their actions were straightforward. They were not as playful as Liu Changsheng and the others, and the leader cupped his hands in salute: "Master, we have only investigated thoroughly, and the culprit that caused these people to be poisoned is not that young lamb pot. "If you want to know the cause of death, take out the organs of the dead and see what's inside the stomach of the dead."
"F * ck your mother!" My father is gone, and you still want to ruin his body! "Don't even think about it!"
A young man dressed in filial piety shouted at the coroner in anger.
