A huge rotten smell immediately spread in the back hall. Although it took two days, the corpse was stripped of its human skin, and the decay was rapid on the outside, which also accelerated the decay on the inside. Sure enough, Zheng Baishi and the others watched, and the sour water in the stomach that had been suppressed so easily rose up again.
It was not the first time for everyone to watch Qin Wan's autopsy, but every time they saw it, they felt shocked again. Zheng Baishi knew that Qin Wan was canonized as the princess, and also knew that Qin Wan had taken a vain job named by the Ministry of Punishment. In Lin'an City, he never expected, and with the return of the large hunting army, Qin Wan's deeds in Weishan camp also spread back to Lin'an City. Some thought that Qin Wan was a strange woman, but because of the favor of the emperor and the queen mother, there were only a small number of people who accused Qin Wan, and others dared not be presumptuous.
Seeing Qin Wan keeping his head down in the same posture, and looking at the fine beads of sweat on Qin Wan's forehead, Zheng Baishi, in addition to admiring it, was also somewhat distressed by the elders. At Qin Wan's average age, three Each of the elder sisters was planning their own marriage, but she was the only one who stood in front of the rotten corpse in Yizhuang with a clean body and dissected the corpse.
Zheng Baishi sighed, and then sighed again. When Qin Wan took out a black mass from the abdomen of the deceased, he could not sigh, but turned his back and retched twice—
The black mass was taken out by Qin Wan from the stomach of the deceased. After carefully distinguishing it for a moment, Qin Wan straightened up after bending for a long time. She subconsciously raised her hand to wipe the thin sweat on her forehead. It was a pause, and then he realized that his hands were dirty and could not be wiped off. After gathering his mind, Qin Wan said, "There is no obvious foreign body in the chest, abdomen, nasal cavity and trachea of the deceased. From the current point of view, the deceased should have suffered an injury to the back of the head and fell into a coma. After the skinning was performed, there was some undigested food in the stomach of the deceased, and it is temporarily unclear what it was, but the deceased drank a lot of alcohol before he was injured."
After Qin Wan finished reading, she was still looking at the lump of dirt. After two days, the lump of dirt had turned into a lump of rot. Qin Wan looked carefully for a while before discovering a tiny hard shell, After distinguishing for a while, Qin Wan said, "The deceased had eaten crabs before he died."
Zheng Baishi frowned slightly, "This month, it's not time to eat crabs yet."
Qin Wan nodded, and said while tidying up the autopsy wound, "Indeed, so it will be easier to investigate."
The corners of Zheng Baishi's lips twitched slightly, "As soon as the princess came, he really had a direction, Zhan Yang—"
Zheng Baishi yelled, and Zhan Yang immediately nodded, "Okay, this subordinate will bring someone to investigate now!"
Zhan Yang took the people away, and Qin Wan walked away from the mortuary case after packing up the corpse, Bai Ying hurriedly fetched water to help Qin Wan clean his hands, and when everything was cleaned up, Zheng Baishi was talking to Yan Chi.
"That person has been imprisoned for many years, does His Highness think it is necessary to go for interrogation?"
Yan Chi thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll talk to Master Shangshu about this. I think Master Li has no objection here?"
Li Muyun stood aside and smiled, "That's natural."
After Li Muyun finished speaking, he looked up and saw Qin Wan coming out of the inner hall, the corners of his lips slightly raised, "The Princess is working hard."
Qin Wan shook his head, walked up to Zheng Baishi and said, "After all, the results of the autopsy are still small, and we have to rely on Zhan Butou to follow the clues to find out." He paused slightly and said, "Ordinary people can't afford crabs. , especially in this season, this person is so young, I guess his identity may be unusual, at least he is also a son of a rich family."
Zheng Baishi didn't think about it yet, and said after hearing the words, "But in the past two days, the government has not waited for anyone to report to the government."
Qin Wan frowned slightly, "It's just my guess, maybe it's not accurate."
Li Muyun said casually, "I think so too—"
Qin Wan looked at Li Muyun, but a layer of ice gradually froze in his heart, "Master Li also thinks the same?"
Li Muyun nodded, "The princess is not only good at autopsies, but he is even worse than ordinary people in proposing cases. Just now, watching the princess's autopsy reminds me of an old friend."
Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat, but his face was silent, "Oh? An old friend? I don't know who it is?"
Li Muyun smiled, "He's gone, so don't mention it."
He turned to look at Zheng Baishi and said, "When will Mr. Zheng plan to interrogate the Taoist priest from six years ago? I just heard what Mr. Zheng said just now, and I am also somewhat interested in that man."
Zheng Baishi hurriedly said, "Let His Royal Highness tell us about this after he asks Mr. Shang Shu. It would be great if Mr. Li wanted to interrogate him."
Li Muyun smiled and said a few words to Zheng Baishi, and then offered to leave. The Minister of Dali Temple did not directly examine important cases in Gyeonggi, he is now participating, but because the old case involved is of great importance and needs to be supervised.
As soon as Li Muyun left, Zheng Baishi sighed, "Master Li said just now, I also want to come with someone."
Qin Wan looked into Zheng Baishi's eyes calmly, "Who does Mr. Zheng think of?"
Zheng Baishi glanced out, saw the person guarding him at the door, and said in a low voice, "Does the princess know the former Minister of Dali Temple?"
Qin Wan's eyebrows twitched, and she raised her lips and nodded for a moment, "Of course I know."
Zheng Baishi said again in a low voice, "To tell the truth, the princess, I also have some old friends with the former Minister of Dali Temple, Mr. Shen. Although he was an official of Dali Temple, after entering Beijing, he still helped the Lin'an government to solve several cases. I have personally witnessed his autopsy, how can I put it... The solemnity between the princess's eyebrows and eyes during the autopsy is somewhat similar to Master Shen's."
Qin Wan's face was very calm, "Is it such a coincidence?" After a pause, Qin Wan also said, "To tell you the truth, I have read Master Shen's works."
Zheng Baishi suddenly smiled, "That's no wonder, this may really be a bit of fate."
After a pause, Zheng Baishi said in a low voice again, "But... Mr. Shen had an accident before the princess came back years ago. The princess should know this. He was involved in the case of King Jin, and now he is the official of the capital. It's taboo, it's fine for me to talk about these things in private with the princess, and please ask the princess to be careful so as not to cause trouble."
Qin Wan's eyes showed a little gratitude, "Master Zheng, don't worry, I understand, but...Does Master Zheng think that Master Shen is really doing favoritism and cheating?"
When he asked this question, Zheng Baishi who asked was at a loss for words, pursed his lips for a while, and then Zheng Baishi said, "The involvement in the officialdom is full of fog, but I can't answer the question of the princess."
Qin Wan smiled, "Your Excellency, don't be nervous, I just said to ask casually." Then he turned and glanced at the main hall, "Although this person was killed in a similar way to the old case, it is also possible that someone knew about the previous case and imitated it The method used in the case, Mr. Zheng, is the case known to everyone in Beijing?"
Zheng Baishi shook his head, "That's not true. The incident happened outside the capital city. Because the murderer's method of killing was ferocious, Taoism, Buddhism and moon worship were involved, so this case was covered by the Lin'an Yamen and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Among them, only those who have handled the case know about it, and the common people generally don't know about it, and some people in Guanyin Town know about it. There are not many young people in the capital to work in the capital, so even if this matter spreads to the capital, it will only be a flash in the pan and then disappear."
Qin Wan frowned, "Since that's the case, if it's an imitation of the case back then, it's very likely that it's someone from Guanyin Town, or someone who knew about the case from other sources."
Zheng Baishi sighed a little. He is the magistrate of Lin'an, and he has a lot of things to manage besides the prison in Lin'an, so even if he wanted to investigate the case, he didn't think as fast as Qin Wan. Qin Wan pointed out in a few words The other direction of the case, "Don't worry, the Princess, I will let people investigate according to this article."
Qin Wan nodded with a smile, but didn't say any more. She had a dummy job just to facilitate the autopsy, but it didn't mean she could really dictate the deployment of the case.
After the autopsy was over, Yan Chi said, "It's getting late, I'll take you back first."
It was already sunset at this time, Princess Taichang and Qin Chaoyu were probably out of the palace, Qin Wan nodded, and Zheng Baishi said, "Then please trouble Your Highness, His Royal Highness must send the princess every time."
"It's okay—" Yan Chi said again, "I will go to the government office to find you after I get the letter of approval from Lord Shangshu."
Zheng Baishi agreed with a smile, and sent the two of them to the gate. When he saw Yan Chi and Qin Wan boarded the carriage together, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart. Yan Chi's reputation had already spread back to the capital. Yes, I beat Feng Zhang before. A person with such a temperament treats Princess Yongci very thoughtfully, could it be...
Zheng Baishi's eyes lit up slightly, and with a deep smile, he turned and entered the Yizhuang.
After getting into the carriage, Yan Chi pulled Qin Wan into his arms. For a man like him who leads thousands of troops, when he saw Qin Wan unable to wipe his sweat, he felt a little powerless in his heart.
Qin Wan was indeed a little tired, so he leaned on Yan Chi's shoulder, closed his eyes and said softly, "Whether this case imitates the crimes committed in the past, or some people use religion to make a fuss, it's not easy, I'm afraid Too late."
What Qin Wan said was simple, but Yan Chi understood that it was too late, meaning that it was too late to stop the murderer from committing the crime, and there was a high possibility that another victim would appear. Yan Chi grabbed her hand and squeezed it, and suddenly said, "You want to join the Ministry of Punishment, is it because of Shen Yi?"
Qin Wan's back stiffened, and for a moment he didn't know why Yan Chi asked this question.
Seeing her surprised, Yan Chi said, "I don't know Shen Yi, and I've never met him, but Zheng Baishi and Li Muyun have seen each other before. Li Muyun didn't say anything, but the person he said must be Shen Yi. You respect Shen Yi in your heart." , do you think that Shen Yi was wronged, so you want to promote his autopsy technique?"
Qin Wan breathed a sigh of relief, just now she almost thought that Yan Chi had seen through everything, but now she thought about it and smiled wryly, yes, who would have thought that a dead person could be resurrected with a dead body? Even if Yan Chi could gain insight into people's hearts again, he would never have imagined it!
"Master Zheng said that your post-mortem appearance is very similar to Shen Yi. You have never seen him before, and you can have such a fate in the dark. It shows that your reverence for her is not ordinary."
Qin Wan walked with Shen Yi since she was a child. In addition to Shen Yi's medical theory and autopsy skills, she also learned his concentration and seriousness during the autopsy. In this way, her appearance during the autopsy was almost a replica of Shen Yi. Forget about Shen Yi's people, Li Muyun was Shen Yi's deputy, and Zheng Baishi also had a personal relationship with Shen Yi, not to mention that they didn't see Qin Wan's autopsy once or twice, so they naturally felt deeply.
Qin Wan smiled wryly, "In this way, there is indeed some kind of fate, or maybe Master Shen saw that I respected him so much in the spirit of the sky, and gave me talent and determination..."
Yan Chi squeezed Qin Wan's palm, "You still say you don't believe in ghosts?"
Qin Wan turned his head and looked straight at Yan Chi, "I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but I do believe that there are really mysterious things in this world, and many things seem to be God's will..."
Qin Wan's words were not only a confession of her heart, but also a hint to Yan Chi out of guilt. She couldn't explain what happened to her, but she told Yan Chi with seemingly mysterious words.
Yan Chi looked at Qin Wan's eyes that were as clear as streams, and his heart trembled slightly. Qin Wan's words seemed blunt and mysterious, but they seemed to be talking about something, which he couldn't figure out, but felt that the meaning of the words was not very simple. , he made up his mind not to force her, so he squeezed her palm, "Are you and I God's will?"
Qin Wan blinked her eyes, "Maybe... yes?"
Yan Chi lowered his head and pecked her hard on the lips, "There is no possibility—"
When Qin Wan returned to the Hou Mansion, the sky was already dark, and the whole Hou Mansion was brightly lit. Nanny Yu was waiting for her outside the main courtyard. Seeing her coming, she hurriedly said, "The princess is back, and the lady is in the main courtyard. waiting for you."
Qin Wan frowned slightly, what is Hu waiting for her
Thinking of this, Qin Wan couldn't help thinking of Qin Chaoyu, what did Qin Chaoyu say
Gathering his mind, Qin Wan went straight towards the main courtyard. When he arrived at the main courtyard, he saw only Mrs. Hu in the hall. Seeing Qin Wan coming, Mrs. Hu enthusiastically pulled Qin Wan and said, "Guan'er, that's it, let's go After leaving the Anyang Marquis Mansion, I also want to invite Taichang Princess to visit our mansion, I sent the post in the afternoon, it’s just tomorrow’s dishes, I want you to see it too.”
Princess Taichang is in a detached position. Hu Shi and Qin Shu went to pay a special visit, and wanted to invite them to the mansion again. Qin Wan understood it very well, so she agreed directly. She is the one who is most familiar with the people in the Anyang Marquis Mansion. Although I don't know how appropriate it is, I understand better than the Hu family and others, especially the Taichang Princess mainly avoids food because of her body, so Qin Wan's words are naturally correct.
Seeing that the talk was almost over, Qin Shu arrived at the main hall. He just came back from the outside, and as soon as he entered the door, he said, "Girl Wan, did you go to Yizhuang in the afternoon?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Yes, did you know about a new case?"
Qin Shu nodded, frowning tightly, "Yong'an City is not very peaceful after the year and year, how did you go to see it?"
Qin Wan shook her head, "I just went for the autopsy. I don't have any other clues yet. The murderer's method of autopsy is cruel. If the key clues can't be found, I'm afraid there will be a second victim."
Qin Shu was extremely anxious, "This matter has already been reported to the emperor in the afternoon. The capital is under the jurisdiction of His Highness the Crown Prince. The emperor is quite dissatisfied with each case after another. Girl Wan, you have to do your best in this case."
Qin Wan nodded naturally when she heard this, Hu smiled and said, "Guan'er is not a serious court official, don't tell me she gets nervous."
Qin Shu shook his head, "You don't know, King Cheng is playing tricks again!"
Hu didn't discuss the imperial court with Qin Shu, but when he heard the words, he said, "You know Xiang'er..."
Upon hearing Qin Xiang's name, Qin Shu frowned, "Ask her what she is doing! She is doing fine now!"
Mrs. Hu glanced at Qin Wan with a wry smile. Qin Shu probably also thought about Qin Wan's presence. Although he was annoyed, he still said, "I sent someone to inquire. Even though she was kicked out of Mrs. Qin, I know you still care about her." , She went into Prince Cheng's mansion that night, and stayed there, and heard that King Cheng treats her well now, but the girl from the Feng family had been to Prince Cheng's mansion, but was stopped by King Cheng."
Everyone thought that Qin Xiang would become a pawn if he went to Prince Cheng's mansion, but he really didn't expect that King Cheng would stop Feng Chenbi for Qin Xiang's sake. Hu said, "In this way, King Cheng treats Xiang'er sincerely?"
Qin Shu sneered, "How can King Cheng have any sincerity? I told you to make you feel at ease, but I won't care about her anymore..."
When Qin Wan left from the main courtyard, he was still thinking about Hu's words. If King Cheng was sincere to Qin Xiang, it would not be in vain for her to have the courage to do these things, and even the Qin family betrayed her in order to enter the palace of Cheng Wang.
As soon as she returned to Songfengyuan, Qin Shuang came over with her embroidery samples. These days, she was ready to get married with peace of mind. She was embroidering her wedding dress and things for getting married every day. would like to rest.
"I heard from Mother Yu that you went for an autopsy? The eighth younger sister has already returned."
Qin Wan nodded and said simply that Qin Shuang was afraid when he heard of a dead person, so Qin Wan naturally didn't mention the horror of the corpse.
After thinking about it, Qin Wan said what Qin Shu had brought back. Qin Shuang was surprised when he heard that Qin Xiang was valued by King Cheng. After a while, he smiled, "Then she is also seeking benevolence! Well done, I don't feel like I robbed her, but Feng Chenbi hasn't entered the mansion yet, in the future... "
Qin Wan knew that Qin Shuang was still worried about Qin Xiang, so she shook her head and didn't say much, Qin Shuang said suddenly, "It's been a few days, do you think she knows that the Xue family proposed to me instead?"
Qin Wan was taken aback for a moment, she was really not sure about this.
…
…
In Shuiyuejuli of Prince Cheng's Mansion, Xiuzhi is serving Qin Xiang to take a bath.
When she followed Qin Xiang back then, Xiu Zhi was really flustered when she saw that Wan He didn't come. Although she was serving by the wife's side, she was not new to the world, but they were coming to the palace this time!
You can enter anywhere in the palace!
Seeing how furious Qin Shu was, even she wondered if King Cheng really just took advantage of Qin Xiang!
But Xiuzhi never expected that King Cheng was really good to Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang slept in Yanqi's main courtyard the night he entered Chengwang's mansion. On the second day, he allocated a courtyard for her, that is, The current Shuiyueju.
The courtyard was allocated, and the nanny and servants were allocated. Now there are several concubines in Cheng Wang's mansion, but those people are completely inferior to his own lady. I heard that Cheng Wang will not go for a long time, and those people are either others. Those who are given away must be of low birth, let alone the position of side concubine in the future, it is impossible to become a concubine of the king
Xiuzhi was the most useful by Qin Xiang's side, she suddenly became the big girl in charge of the yard, even the nuns didn't dare show her face, Xiuzhi was so glad that she came here with Qin Xiang! If not, how could she have the opportunity to see such wealth!
Thinking in this way, Xiuzhi raised her eyes and took a look. In this Shuiyueju, just a bathing annexe is as big as Miss's former bedroom. The room is decorated with colorful phoenixes, carved beams and curtains, no matter it is a large piece of furniture. It's still a small piece of decoration, all of which are full of wealth, looking at the magnificently embroidered Fu Fu on the ground, Xiuzhi is reluctant to step on it.
This is Chengwang Mansion, and this is the style of the royal family!
In the past, my young lady always envied Miss Nine for being able to enter the palace and be a princess. Now, my young lady can also enjoy such glory. As long as my young lady is always favored, and she will give birth to a child for King Cheng in the future, she will be able to live a lifetime of glory and wealth !
Thinking about it, Xiuzhi raised her hand and put the flower petals beside her into the water, and then took the ointment and spread it on Qin Xiang's shoulders. After taking a bath, the ambiguous traces on Qin Xiang's shoulders became more obvious. King Cheng had been resting for two consecutive nights. In Shuiyueju!
Xiuzhi's complexion was reddish, but her eyes couldn't help looking at Qin Xiang's shoulders again and again. After a while, Qin Xiang's slightly closed eyes opened. The barking is adorable, she has been soaking for a long time, thinking that King Cheng may be coming soon, so she hastily got up.
Xiuzhi helped Qin Xiang get dressed, and helped her wring her hair. Qin Xiang went to the dressing table and sat down.
The eyebrows and eyes of the person in the mirror are picturesque, her lips are not pimples but red, her eyebrows are not drawn but black, her lips are slightly curved, and she looks cute and pitiful in front of the mirror. For a moment, even she herself is amazed. It was the last way out. Fortunately, she was smart. She used to think that she was the daughter of the third wife in the Hou's mansion, but now she has only one purpose in Chengwang's mansion. She wants to win over Chengwang's heart. Why did she treat her like that? She wanted to win Cheng Wang's heart again.
Feng Shenbi will come in in three months, and before that, she has to let Cheng Wang have her in his heart.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiang still picked up the lip paper and licked it, and picked up the ink brush beside her to draw on her eyebrows. At any time, she had to let King Cheng see her beautiful and soft...
When Xiuzhi saw Qin Xiang drawing her eyebrows, she knew that she was waiting to become king, so she took the little maids to send the water out of the bathroom. After sending the water, Qin Xiang ordered, "Go outside and wait. If His Highness comes, hurry Report quickly."
Xiuzhi responded, and hurriedly went out to wait at the hanging flower gate. Just as she stood still, Xiuzhi heard two nurses talking in a low voice outside—
"So it's Miss Qin who will make plans for herself."
"No, she ran away, and my sister was replaced."
"I heard that that family is just an ordinary family, how can it compare to the palace?"
"But it's different. Her younger sister was married to be the mistress, but this Miss Qin has no title..."
Xiuzhi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, they hadn't paid attention to the movement outside the palace for a few days, but after listening to these two people, Hou's mansion is going to marry Miss Six to Xue's family
Xiuzhi thought for a while, then quickly turned around and went into the room. When she reached the door, Qin Xiang rushed out to greet her, but only saw Xiuzhi walking in alone. Qin Xiang frowned, "His Royal Highness Cheng is not here?"
Xiuzhi shook her head, "Miss, I heard something..."
Qin Xiang frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"
Xiuzhi said in a low voice what she had just heard, Qin Xiang frowned and froze, but soon she smiled lightly, "That's fine, if Qin Shuang is only looking for it, you won't be able to find someone like the Xue family." , Now that the relationship between the Hou Mansion and the Xue family has not been broken, and Qin Shuang has a home, I have done a good deed."
Xiu Zhi whispered, "Miss, Miss Feng's family has not entered the mansion, so your identity cannot be determined..."
Qin Xiang glanced at Xiuzhi, "I know this, you don't need to say more, I have plans."
Xiuzhi hesitated to speak, but seeing Qin Xiang's expression was unkind, he didn't say much after all, Qin Xiang said impatiently, "Go ahead and wait outside..."
Xiu Zhi nodded and walked out, but she waited for more than half an hour that night and did not wait for Yan Qi to come. Xiu Zhi came back and told Qin Xiang, Qin Xiang was also anxiously waiting, so she ordered, "Go out and have a look, Let's see if I can ask if His Highness has come back, I'm afraid he hasn't come back yet..."
Why didn't you come to her when you came back
Xiu Zhi came out in response, but soon she came in again with a pale complexion, "Miss, you can't go to the main courtyard, we have guards in the main courtyard here, and they won't let us go, and the guards won't let us go." Tell me if the prince has come back."
Qin Xiang's complexion became a little ugly. Yan Qi was the king and prince, and the security in the mansion was naturally strict. She rested in the main courtyard on the first night, and Yan Qi came to look for her on the second and third nights. She is very gentle and considerate, so that she is a little self-righteous, Yan Qi is definitely not someone who is easily caught up with a woman.
Qin Xiang waved his hands, and sat down with frowns tightly. She had to hold her breath, she had to hold her breath!
"No more, no need to ask, let's rest."
Qin Xiang quickly made a decision, Xiuzhi was a little stunned, she thought Qin Xiang would definitely wait for King Cheng to come!
…
…
On the second day, Princess Taichang brought the Anyanghou family to Zhongyonghou's mansion.
The Hu family greeted Qin Chaoyu with the three sisters, but when Qin Chaoyu saw Qin Wan, his expression was as usual, showing no signs of happiness or anger.
Princess Taichang seldom came out when she returned to the capital. Now that she came to the Hou's mansion, she naturally gave the Hou's house some face. In order to entertain Princess Taichang, Qin Shu also kept Qin Yan and Qin Ye in the mansion.
Neither Qin Ye nor Qin Yan went with us when we went to Anyang Marquis last time, but today Yue Qing also came, just so the three of them could make friends. As soon as they entered the mansion, Yue Ning pulled Qin Wan and said, "This is His Highness the Ninth Prince who asked me to take it with you." It’s for you, you left in such a hurry yesterday that you forgot to take it with you.”
Qin Wan saw that it was the golden sparrow with broken wings!
Qin Wan laughed for a moment, "I really forgot that he asked you to bring it out for me."
Yue Ning also laughed, "Your Highness Ninth Prince is still a little bit reluctant, but he is also very stubborn, so I had to run errands. I originally planned to send it to you today, but when I returned to the mansion, I saw a post from the Hou Mansion. It just so happened that I sent it together. .”
Hu and Jiang accompanied Princess Taichang to talk, while Yue Ning and Qin Wan arrived at Songfengyuan. Qin Shuang was a frequent visitor of Songfengyuan and followed without hesitation, but Qin Chaoyu would not follow.
After entering the yard, Qin Wan looked around, "This cage doesn't fit anywhere..."
Yue Ning had never raised birds before, and said, "Hanging under the eaves?"
The cage was carried all the way, and the birds in the cage were already a bit sluggish. Seeing this, Qin Wan called Fuling to prepare water and bird food. There were also birds in the Hou's mansion. Fuling hurriedly went to the servants to get the bird food, but she didn't want to Birds come and don't eat them.
Qin Shuang said, "Did His Highness the Ninth Prince feed it too well?"
Qin Wan shook his head, "No, His Highness the Ninth Highness just caught it. It didn't have an owner before, so logically speaking, it shouldn't be picked."
Fu Ling thought for a while, "Could it be that you want to eat live bugs? Then the servants go to the flower garden to look around?"
Fu Ling volunteered, and said that she was very excited when she went to the flower garden to search for insects. The playfulness came out, and Qin Wan laughed. She still asked people to hang the cage under the eaves. I handed it over to Fuling. Fuling had never raised a pet before, so she was very excited to see this sparrow.
Yue Ning is very interested in the new cases in the capital, "I have nothing to do after returning to Beijing, why don't you take me with you when you go to the case next time?"
Qin Wan still remembered Yue Ning's embarrassment when she saw her autopsy for the first time, "I'm going to do an autopsy."
Yue Ning snorted, "Don't I know you're going to have an autopsy? Now I'm not afraid—"
After Yue Ning finished speaking with her chin slightly raised, seeing Qin Wan looking at her teasingly, she couldn't help laughing, "Thinking about that time, it feels like yesterday, but half a year has passed."
Qin Wan also sighed, "Yeah, if it wasn't for a coincidence that I saved Princess Taichang at that time, I don't know what my situation would be."
Yue Ning shook her head, "It's not because of your grandmother that your medical skills came here. Even if you don't save your grandmother, you will still shine when you return to the capital. You are a little fairy doctor now..."
As she said that, Yue Ning continued, "When I first met you, I thought you were just an ordinary boudoir lady! I never thought that this boudoir lady would conduct an autopsy... or a disembowelled autopsy..."
Then Yue Ning vomited because of the autopsy—
The spring scene was thick, Yue Ning pulled Qin Wan to talk in the flower garden, and Qin Shuang walked behind the two of them. When Yue Ning said this, she was also thinking about half a year ago. At that time, she looked down on Qin Wan with all her heart. Pushed Qin Wan into the lake, and later she was punished by Yue Ning for saying something wrong, and she was a little scared when she was punished.
Seeing Yue Ning and Qin Wan talking about the past, she didn't interrupt, just thinking about how she changed little by little.
After thinking about it, I feel lucky, fortunately, she no longer follows Qin Xiang, if she came to the capital with the temper she used to have, and no one reminded her, it would not be enough to die a hundred times.
In the past, Qin Xiang was the concubine in the mansion, and she was the most loved and respected, but Qin Xiang was indeed better than her in everything, she could only see Qin Xiang in her eyes. She didn't know that all kinds of incidents later broke the relationship between her and Qin Xiang, and also let her see the thoughts of Qin Xiang's mother and daughter.
They are sisters to the outside world, but to the inside, she is just a green leaf to accompany Qin Xiang, and will always be.
Looking at Qin Wan's back, Qin Shuang felt that it was very strange. With Qin Wan's appearance and temperament, it is best to make friends with Yue Ning and Meng Yao, but now even she can't help but cling to her. When she was a child, she wanted to be Qin Wan Xiang, everything is good, and she is held in the palm of everyone's hands, but now, she hopes to get some of Qin Wan's heart, even if only a few points, it is enough for her to deal with all the dangers in the future, how can there be such a thing in the world? What about the person people yearn for
"You are so courageous that you dare to ask for a position in the court. Although it is a false name, many people are reluctant. Fortunately, it was at that juncture, otherwise those old scholars in the court could scold people to death with their pens, or The kind of scolding that doesn’t have dirty words left in the history books, but now that you have made great contributions, those who admit it are hard to say too much.”
Qin Wan smiled, "I know it myself, so since it's at that juncture, I'll mention it."
Yue Ning turned her head to look at Qin Wan. Qin Wan surprised everyone in Jinzhou. Unexpectedly, in the capital, she became even more prosperous. Now that she has the position of princess, she can participate in the prison as a woman. Things.
Yue Ning sighed, "I really envy you, I wanted to go with my elder brother when he was going to Shuoxi, but my mother and grandmother refused to let me—"
"You are the jewel in the palm of the stepmother, not to mention the stepmother, even I don't want you to go to the battlefield."
Yue stared at the sky, "Then did I spend my whole life in the boudoir? Speaking of which, when I saw the princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty that day, I was envious. I heard that she didn't wander around in the palace all the year round in the Northern Wei Dynasty."
Qin Wan said casually, "You don't know yet, she lost her mother at a very young age, and she has a lot of attention to the warmth and warmth of people in the palace, so she has such a temper. If her mother was around, she wouldn't be allowed to go out all year round. She is also a person who dares to go to the battlefield."
Not only did he dare to go to the battlefield, but he also fell in love with Yan Chi on the battlefield.
"Ah, has she lost her mother?" Yue Ning really didn't know about this, "In this way, I thought it was too simple. Sure enough, everyone is not as beautiful as they appear on the surface."
After walking around the flower garden, when everyone returned to the main courtyard, Princess Taichang was still talking to Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Jiang, and Qin Chaoyu sat beside him obediently. Although her back was straight, she seemed a little lonely.
After talking for a whole noon and having lunch again, Princess Taichang felt a little tired, so she took Yue Ning and his party to leave first. Qin Shu and Hu Shi took everyone to the door and waited for Princess Taichang's carriage to leave before returning.
After entertaining the Taichang princess, Qin Shu and Hu's hearts fell to the ground, Qin Shuang and Qin Wan went back to the yard to see the golden bird that they had sent, and Fuling actually took the little maid to find out The little worms came, but the gorse still wouldn't eat them.
Fu Ling was very distressed, "I don't know how good it used to be, our bird food is not bad."
Qin Wan didn't understand birds, so he wanted to send the birds to the craftsman in the mansion to raise them, but he felt that the ones from Yan Sui were not easy to transfer, so he asked Fu Ling to go to the craftsman to come to the yard, and so on until dark Jin Que'er didn't know whether it was because she was hungry or what, she just started eating, Qin Wan and the others felt relieved.
Early the next morning, Bai Feng came to pick Qin Wan up to the yamen of the prefect of Lin'an.
Now that Qin Wan's status is unusual, no one dared to stop her at the magistrate's yamen even if she walked through the main entrance. However, in order to avoid disputes, she still entered through the original back corner door, and then went straight to the front hall where the trial was held.
When they arrived at the front hall, Yan Chi was there, Zheng Baishi and Li Muyun were there, Zheng Baishi saw Qin Wan and said, "Princess, the identity of the deceased has been found out—"
Qin Wan hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"
Zheng Baishi smiled wryly, "It's the fourth son of Uncle Weiyuan's family."
Wei Yuanbo? Qin Wan raised her eyebrows, she had some vague impressions in her mind, but she was not familiar with the aristocratic families in the capital in her previous life, so she couldn't match them for a while.
Zheng Baishi said casually, "Uncle Weiyuan's family is considered to be the founding hero of the country, but it has long since declined. Even the position of this earl is also the last generation. There are four sons in his family. The eldest son ran away a few years ago and never came back. , the second and fourth sons are both ignorant and incompetent, and only the third son can barely read."
"We went all over the famous restaurants in the city for the wine and crabs tested by the princess. There are only two places. The first one is the Dengyun Tower in the north of the city, and the second is the Fengqi Tower in the west of the city. Both of them are useful. Cooking with crab sauce, we checked according to height, shape and age, and there were only two people who had eaten crab sauce before the night of the incident, one in Dengyunlou and one in Fengqilou, and the one in Dengyunlou was a supervisor of the Imperial College. Fengqilou is the fourth son of Uncle Weiyuan's family. We immediately went to Uncle Weiyuan's house to inquire, and sure enough, the fourth son did not go back for two days..."
"Uncle Weiyuan is seriously ill, it's not reasonable anymore. Mrs. Weiyuan wanted to find the fourth son, but the third son in charge of the family didn't care about the younger brother's life. According to him, this younger brother is usually five or six days old. It’s okay if you don’t go home, two days is nothing, but he was shocked when he heard that it might be his brother who died.”
Qin Wan frowned, "The corpse has become like that, and there is no way to identify the corpse."
"That's right, so the third son is not sure that it is his younger brother, but according to what he said, the fourth son of Uncle Weiyuan's family loves to go to the Fengqi Tower, so he knows it in his heart, and now he is going back to decent. People search everywhere, if they don't find anyone, then the deceased is undoubtedly the fourth son of Uncle Weiyuan."
Yan Chi said, "According to religious beliefs, the death of these four young masters is due to mistakes made during their lifetime, can this be verified?"
Zheng Baishi said quickly, "Check it out, this fourth son is the youngest of Uncle Weiyuan's family, but he is not taken seriously because he is incompetent. Years ago he instigated Mrs. Uncle Weiyuan to sell several shops, but he said that the third son who is in charge Enriching private pockets and coveting public property, because of this disturbance, Uncle Weiyuan's house is restless, and Uncle Weiyuan's illness has worsened like this."
Iron Tree Hell, also known as the Skinning Hell of Moon Worship Sect, punishes those who provoke brothers, fathers and sons, mothers and sons.
Qin Wan and Yan Chi looked at each other. It is almost certain that the murderer's path is similar to that of the previous case, but he is not sure whether it is an imitation of the previous case or the previous murderer has come out to commit the crime again.
Zheng Baishi's face was also very solemn, "This is right, it means that the murderer is very likely to kill people according to the teachings. I have asked Zhan Yang to investigate. People who know that the fourth son has such evil deeds should not There are too many, but it is still very difficult to check one by one."
Yan Chi said to Qin Wan, "So I decided to interrogate the old Taoist priest from six years ago first, and you go with us."
Qin Wan's eyes lit up slightly, Yan Chi must have known that she wanted to go, that's why he sent someone to pick her up!
Qin Wan hurriedly asked, "When are you going?"
Seeing her anxious expression, Yan Chi knew that she was happy, and raised his lips and said, "Go now—"
