Gu Huaian vaguely felt that things were not that simple this time. There were too many candidates involved, and some of them died. I usually do things in a public way. I may have offended those candidates. What if? If someone really dislikes them and you kill them, it will be difficult for you to deal with the subsequent situation.
After all, according to the invigilator, the families of the candidates in these schools are quite powerful, and I don't know whether they are officials or businessmen.
Gu Huaian, who was looking at the examiner in front of him, was very serious about this matter. He also knew that if someone died at this time, he would not be able to escape his involvement, so he quickly gathered all the candidates together to prevent any suspected person from escaping.
"It's not fair. None of them live in the place arranged by the examiner. But we children from poor families have always lived in the place arranged by the examiner. We have no chance to go out or interact with people outside. "
When one of the scholars was imprisoned, he seemed a little aggrieved, but it was actually right. Anyone who was inexplicably imprisoned like this must have resentment in his heart, but...
Gu Huai'an always felt that people who came out rashly at this time, if they didn't really have a bad personality on weekdays, were probably guilty of committing crimes, so he was anxious to excuse himself.
"I will investigate the truth as soon as possible, but none of you can leave now, because some of the dead people have offended you. In order to ensure that this matter can be resolved smoothly, you must stay here. Wait until the matter is investigated clearly before making a decision.”
Gu Huaian was relatively humane and allowed these candidates to stay in a fixed place with their review materials. He didn't want things that hurt human life to happen again, so he sent troops to protect them.
It's just that I don't know how long this situation will last, because apart from the bodies of those people, I can't find any clues now.
As a doctor, Gu Huaian naturally wanted to check the bodies of the deceased immediately, but these people seemed to have been beaten to death, and there were no special marks on the wounds. However, although they were beaten, the deceased did not seem to have any resistance. Traces, which made Gu Huaian feel very strange.
"All the information about these officials' children is here. Does Mr. Gu need anything else besides these?"
At this time, the invigilator changed his mind and changed from the rich family to the son of an official family. Gu Huaian also noticed this very carefully. It seemed that his previous idea was indeed correct. These dead people were all The family has a certain background.
After Gu Huaian took the file and read it carefully, he found that these people all had one thing in common, that is, they had practiced martial arts since childhood.
Would someone who has practiced martial arts since childhood be beaten to death without any strength
Even a half-way monk like Gu Huan would not react at all when being beaten. People like them who have been practicing martial arts since childhood should be more vigilant in reacting to the surrounding situations. How could this happen
"Have the families of the deceased been contacted? What can they say?"
Gu Huai'an's official position is quite embarrassing in the imperial court, so if these officials' children are indeed from a higher family background than his own, it will definitely be difficult to deal with this matter.
"All the adults have come here, but I have temporarily stabilized their emotions. Your Excellency can first investigate the case carefully."
The invigilator is quite reasonable. After all, he is investigating a case now. Although he spent some effort, he still succeeded in comforting the family members of the deceased. He wanted to calm their mood temporarily, at least not to give them any treatment at this time. Gu Huaian put pressure.
"They have all been practicing martial arts since they were young. If we say they are more vigilant than ordinary people, I can't see any traces of fighting on them. It even seems like they were beaten one-sidedly."
Gu Huaian told the people in front of him what he had discovered. Logically speaking, such a situation should not happen, but it was so weird. Anything abnormal was highly questionable, so they had to deal with this matter. Investigate clearly.
If a person who is usually very vigilant is beaten like this without any room to fight back, or even beaten to death, there are only a few possibilities like mine, or he was drugged, or he was beaten to death. Either he was drunk by someone, or he might have been hypnotized by someone, and he couldn't move his hands and feet at all.
Gu Huaian probably wouldn't have believed such a thing before, but this time, he had witnessed with his own eyes that Shen Qianshan was unable to control his behavior.
Gu Huaian absolutely believed that some people could control people's thinking and make people behave completely differently from usual, but were there really so many people who had such ability? The hypnotist from last time was locked up in the dungeon of the palace by Shen Qianshan.
"With their permission, I want an autopsy."
After all, this was an accident that happened during the imperial examination, and the status of these people was relatively special. The government did not dare to send a widower to dissect the body. If Gu Huaian didn't say anything, no one would dare to do it. This hand.
But even like this, I'm afraid it's still difficult for the other party to accept that their dead relatives were dissected just to investigate the truth of the matter.
So I'm afraid this matter will have to wait for Gu Hui'an to come forward in person.
"Forget it, this matter is a bit too difficult for you. I'll do it myself."
I just don’t know what kind of officials are in the homes of these dead candidates. After looking at them, they seemed to think that they were not very important officials, but why didn’t the look on the invigilator’s face look very good
Gu Huaian walked into the living room, which was already hung with white cloths, and relatives of the deceased had also arrived.
Gu Huai'an's guess was indeed correct. The people in front of him all had a good background. Although their official positions were not high, they controlled the lifeblood of the entire Bei'an Kingdom.
"Master Gu, when can we investigate the truth and give my child justice?"
Gu Huaian knew from just now that the identities of the people in front of him were unusual, but he didn't expect that it was them.
"Mr. Zheng, I feel very sorry for what happened to your young master, but this is not the situation we want to see. If possible, we hope to get some clues about the case through your young master's body, so this I'm here to get your consent."
No matter who he was dealing with, I'm afraid he wouldn't agree to such a thing so easily, and Gu Huaian was already prepared to be rejected by the other party.
As expected, the other party immediately fell out.
Zheng Ye actually has some connection with Gu Huaian. After all, Gu Huaian is the Minister of Rites, and there are many things under him. In fact, Zheng Ye has been arranging them. In fact, he is also the official invigilating this exam. First, it is not easy for his own son to sit here calmly when something like this happens.
"Master Gu, I know that you are still young and may not understand how it feels to be like this, but that is my son after all. I can't let him suffer such treatment after death, so this matter Can't agree."
Judging from this Zheng Ye, in fact, his son should not be the kind of arrogant and domineering person. At most, he will be a little spoiled. In the years that Gu Huaian and Zheng Ye have been together, he has never heard anything about it. His son's bad reputation.
I'm afraid this matter won't be that easy anymore.
No matter how much Gu Huaian is praised as a miracle doctor by others, it is impossible for him to thoroughly investigate the cause of death of the deceased without touching the body, so Gu Huaian must find a way to take a look at those people no matter what. The corpses were not only seen from a distance, but at the very least it was necessary to prove whether they had been poisoned before being beaten to death.
So this time, Gu Huaian decided to take a risk and go to the Yamen morgue to take a look at the corpses at night.
The fathers of the deceased also made it clear that they did not want Gu Huai'an to do anything to their sons. There was no progress in trying to persuade Huai'an, so they decided to investigate him themselves.
In the palace, Gu Qiang had just walked out of Shen Qiangwei's courtyard when she bumped into an unfamiliar face. She thought she was just someone unfamiliar to her and was about to lower her head and walk over, but she didn't expect the other person to stop her.
"Hey, who are you?"
Gu Qiang rarely saw unfamiliar faces in the palace, and the person in front of her seemed to be dressed like a princess, but she had never seen him before. Could it be that she was a princess from a foreign race
If she is really a foreign princess, is it a bit too much to appear in the palace in Bei'an so brazenly
"May I ask your Excellency..."
Your previous name still seemed very lively. Looking at the unfamiliar face in front of Gu Qiang, she stood in front of him very happily and introduced herself, "I am the princess. Now I ask you two questions. You must answer truthfully."
Gu Qiang must have guessed in her heart that the person in front of her was a princess from a foreign race, because she had never seen her before, but looking at her like this, she didn't seem like a foreigner, which made Gu Qiang really find it difficult to understand and judge.
"It turns out that Your Highness the Princess is too young to see the truth. If you have any questions, please ask. I will tell you everything I know."
Gu Qiang didn't want to provoke anyone who did bad things, even if the person in front of her was a princess from a foreign race. If she could stay away, she would naturally keep her distance.
