When Qin Wan was invited into the palace again, Ta Bahong was able to get up and walk around, but in mid-spring he was wearing a thick cloak, and he was still a little weak...
"The previous prescription was mainly warming and tonic. Today I will write another prescription for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
After Qin Wan finished writing the prescription, Tuo Bahong thanked him again and again, "I've been raising him for a long time, and now I'm much better, but the wound is in my heart, which really bothered the princess. His Highness Xiliang is ready to return home. We can't delay any longer, when the princess's prescription is finished, we have to go back first."
Qin Wan was slightly surprised, "Your Highness's injury should be recuperated before setting off. This trip to the Northern Wei Dynasty will take a month on the road. The fatigue may cause His Highness's injury to recur, and perhaps the root cause of the disease will remain."
Tuo Bahong smiled wryly, "It's almost three months since we came out, it's really not easy to stay for a long time."
Tuoba Hong is the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so he is naturally not as comfortable as other people. Qin Wan could understand it, so he didn't persuade him much, and Tuoba Wu said, "So Qin Wan, I need to trouble you to prepare a few more prescriptions for us to bring along on the way. Now, my elder brother believes in you, if he didn't know that you have a different identity, he would still want to take you to the Northern Wei Dynasty."
Qin Wan laughed when he heard the words, "If there are prescriptions, then I can only have a few prescriptions for food supplements. I don't know the physical condition of His Royal Highness on the way, and the prescriptions are not easy to use indiscriminately."
Tuoba Wu nodded, "That's fine, anyway, it's hard work for you."
After hearing the words, Tuoba Hong said, "Does the princess want to go and have a look elsewhere?"
Qin Wan didn't understand for a moment, "Going somewhere else?"
Tuo Bahong said casually, "There are also several highly respected doctors in the Northern Wei Dynasty. If the princess sees them, it will definitely benefit your medical skills. It will be a good thing that the princess will become a generation of everyone."
Qin Wan smiled deeply, "Northern Wei Dynasty is too far away, if people are in Dazhou, I can visit once or twice."
Tuo Bahong stopped asking no further questions, and Tuoba Wu dragged Qin Wan to write the prescription.
After writing the prescription, Qin Wan said goodbye, Tuoba Wu supported Tuo Bahong and saw Qin Wan at the door, when Qin Wan left, Tuobahong pointed to the flower garden outside the door, "Go for a walk—"
Tuoba Wu supported Tuoba Hong and walked towards the corridor, and after a few steps, he heard Tuoba Hong say, "What do you think of Princess Yongci?"
Tuoba Wu paused, his complexion a little complicated, "Brother Prince, although Princess Yongci is good, she is not the eldest daughter of the royal family..."
The corners of Tuo Bahong's lips curved slightly, "But she has the title of princess. In the past, it was not uncommon for a daughter of a nobleman to marry another country after being named, not to mention that she is so valued by the queen mother and princess Taichang, and she has nothing to do with the royal family daughter. different."
Tuoba Wu's smile became more and more bitter, if she didn't know about Qin Wan and Yan Chi, it would be fine, but she knew, could he still let his brother propose to marry Qin Wan, and then break up Qin Wan and Yan Chi
She can't do this...
"Brother, even so, Qin Wan herself would not be willing to go to the Northern Wei Dynasty, even if she went to the Northern Wei Dynasty to be a princess, she would not be willing. She asked for a vacant position in the Ministry of Criminal Justice of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now she is helping the Lin'an government office to perform an autopsy. Do you think she is the kind of person who doesn't care about fame and fortune... "
Ta Bahong sighed, "That's why I feel it's a pity."
Tuoba Wu glanced at Tuobahong, "Brother Prince, don't say that you are already in love with her."
Tuo Bahong smiled, "Not really, I just think I like the Princess' temperament very much."
Tuoba Wu also sighed, "Before it's too late, you should stop thinking about it earlier. If it's for the sake of the country, then marry Princess Yanzhen. If it's for yourself, then go back to the Northern Wei Dynasty. , marry whoever you like, now we don't really need to marry Da Zhou in order to preserve our country's strength, and now Da Zhou will not fight against us just because we don't marry, I heard that Liu Yun of Xiliang Asked for some soldiers from Dazhou, and promised several border minerals in Dazhou, it is really not good, we are also like Xiliang, or opened the southern gate to allow trade between the two countries, isn't it also borrowing the friendship of the country?"
Tuoba Hong smiled gratifiedly when he heard the words, "You have thought of all these things, and what you said is also feasible, but what can bring the relationship between the two countries closer than marriage? It is not certain that you will marry Princess Yanzhen. I can ask for a marriage."
Tuoba Wu shook his head, "Not necessarily, but I think Empress Da Zhou's attitude is very strange. She seems to agree with this matter. Princess Yanzhen comes to visit you every three days, isn't it all the empress's intention?"
Tuo Bahong remained silent for a moment, and said for a while, "In that case, let me try."
Tuoba Wu could tell that Tuoba Hong didn't really like Yan Zhen, it was all because of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Wu couldn't help but feel a little distressed, but Tuoba Hong was the prince of the Great Zhou, and state affairs were naturally important to him. first.
Thinking of Tuo Bahong's plan to marry Yan Zhen, Tuo Bawu wanted to go to Yan Zhen to find out what he said, and it was obvious that Yan Zhen's thoughts were extremely simple, and it would be better for such a person to marry the Northern Wei Dynasty. The unrighteous ones are much better off.
Tuoba Wu came out of the palace gate where they lived, and after walking a few steps, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She looked up, but saw that there was a person sitting on the roof of the corridor not far away. It was already dusk, and the entire sky was darkened, and the person sitting on the roof was very chic in his red shirt and strong clothes.
Tuoba Wu frowned, that place was where Tuoba Wu and Tuoba Hong talked together just now!
With a breath, Tuoba Wu climbed up the roof along the rockery not far away from the wall, and then walked to Yan Li's side, "Your Highness, what are you doing sitting here? And when did you sit here? "
The palace where Tuoba Wu and Tuoba Hong live is located in the northwest of the inner palace. Although the location is far away, it is much higher than the palaces of other concubines. I don't know how long Yan Li has been here. His expression was a bit lonely, and the dim light at dusk fell on his side face, making him look a bit lonely.
When Tuoba Wu asked, Yan Li leaned back and looked at the last ray of light in the sky. Tuo Ba Wu followed Yan Li's gaze, and her heart shook slightly. She had reason to believe that Yan Li didn't sit here on purpose I want to spy on them or eavesdrop on them, because this scene is really shocking.
The last ray of light was about to sink in the sky, and the faint light fell on the thousand-layered palace like a layer of tulle. The state of the Zhou Dynasty was powerful, and the palace was wider and more majestic than the Northern Wei Dynasty. The feet stretched forward, stretching towards the horizon as if there was no end. Seeing this scene, Tuoba Wu's heart was suddenly opened. She saw the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty, saw the change of imperial power, and understood herself in an instant. the insignificance of...
Tuoba Wu suddenly thought of how much she had missed Yan Chi for the past two years, and how Yan Chi treated her coldly, she suddenly smiled, and let out another breath, exhaling all the unrequited love for the past two years.
She was not in a hurry to find Yan Zhen for a while, and sat beside Yan Li with a lift of her skirt.
"This place is good. If my brother and I didn't live here, I'm afraid no one would be able to find you."
This time, this palace was specially opened for the missions of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Once they left, the palace would be uninhabited. At that time, Yan Li would be more relaxed and comfortable here alone!
Yan Li didn't speak, but Tuoba Wu talked to himself, "Your Great Zhou Dynasty is really prosperous, you can't even see this palace. The imperial palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty is as big as yours. No, it may not be enough."
Seeing that Yan Li didn't answer for a long time, Tuo Ba Wu turned to look at Yan Li, looked at Yan Li for a few moments, and Tuo Ba Wu smiled, "It turned out to be a serious person, and I thought His Royal Highness was as chic and happy as his face, but you What's wrong? I know about your family, don't say anything else, you are still alive now, isn't that enough? "
The corners of Yanli's lips raised slightly, "Do you know where that is?"
Yanli pointed to a place, and Tuobawu looked over, only to see that it was the outer court, and that palace was the most majestic and intimidating place on the central axis, Tuobawu smiled, "Isn't it the Emperor's Chongzheng Palace?" ?”
Yan Li suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell me, what kind of person is sitting there?"
Tuoba Wu frowned slightly, I don't know why Yanli asked this question, is the emperor of the Great Zhou in that palace, the emperor of the Great Zhou... Unfathomable, a person who has mastered the power of the emperor, "naturally, he is the one who can be the emperor , what are you asking this for?"
Yan Li's expression became deeper and deeper, "Who can be the emperor?"
Tuoba Wu listened with a smile, "Of course...he is a person who can stand the test of time. The elder brother of the prince is loyal, diligent, virtuous and talented, but this time he was almost killed by the other two. If he wants to sit in that seat, he must have a very good reputation." Otherwise, you really have to overcome obstacles, or you have to be ruthless, for example, my fourth brother and fifth brother, if the prince's elder brother died in Dazhou, the throne must be one of them."
As the night fell, the evening wind was a bit cool, but it was very refreshing on the face, Tuoba Wu turned his eyes to look at Yan Li, "You are a prince and son, what are you thinking about, do you still want to sit on the throne?"
Tuoba Wu spoke very directly, and Yan Li sneered softly, "But it's not impossible."
Tuoba Wu was shocked, the two of them were talking here, and there was no one around, so she was a bit presumptuous, and what she was talking about was the state affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the five senses of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but unexpectedly, Yan Li answered the words!
You must know that this is in the palace. Based on these words, the Emperor of Great Zhou may not keep him! He was originally the son of a criminal minister!
Seeing Tuoba Wu startled, Yan Li just laughed loudly, "Hahahahaha, you must be scared!"
Tuoba Wu stared blankly at Yan Li, and held his lips helplessly for a long time, "You really dare to say it, and you are not afraid that I will tell the Emperor Da Zhou. Instead of thinking about the throne, you might as well find something to do, I can do it." I have heard that your Royal Highness has provoked a lot of imperial censors to impeach you..."
Ever since Yanli molested Tuobawu in Weishan, Tuobawu had inquired about Yanli one or two times. Only after this inquiring, did he know how dissolute Yanli is!
Yan Li had a hazy smile on his face, he leaned back, his slender legs stretched straight forward, he put one hand behind his head, looked at the completely dark sky with his dark eyes, and suddenly said, "Lie down come down."
Tuoba Wu raised his brows, thinking that she was doing him a great deal of face by sitting here and talking to him, why don't she lie down? ! Although she is informal, she is a woman after all, not to mention her attendants are waiting below.
Seeing that Tuoba Wu was not moving, Yan Li suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Tuoba Wu down impatiently.
Tuoba Wu was dragged to lie down, his back hit the Mingwa with some pain, and was about to curse, but she saw the vast sky at a glance, Tuoba Wu's breath was suddenly held, the sky is vast, the galaxy is bright, The flickering stars were blinking and blinking, Tuoba Wu was a little dazed, as if he had returned to the Xueguo plateau in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Tuoba Wu didn't want to swear anymore, but suddenly felt that Yan Li was something special, special, but also very complicated, so complicated that she couldn't understand clearly, what was hidden under his seemingly slutty appearance
This is the best place to see the Chongzheng Palace, and it is also the best place to look at the stars, so in his heart, does he have the Chongzheng Palace or this vast, vast galaxy.
Although the Mingwa beneath her was a little uncomfortable, Tuobawu soon relaxed. The breeze blew across the roof, and all the chaos in Tuobawu's heart was washed away by the vast galaxy, and she relaxed. , looked at the sky for a while, and saw the stars popping up one after another, the originally dim sky was shining brilliantly, she remembered the method of distinguishing the stars that Tuo Bahong taught her when she was a child, and carefully looked at them one by one Look, Yan Li lay beside him without moving or speaking, Tuoba Wu didn't care about him, his eyes became sore after watching for a while, and then he closed them.
Tuoba Wu didn't know when she fell asleep at all, and when she woke up feeling a little cold, there was no one around her, she quickly sat up on the tiles, only to find that she was wearing Yanli's robe , the robe was slightly cooled by the night wind, but at this moment, it was covered with heat from her body, Tuobawu held the robe, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
When did Yan Li run away
Jumping down from the roof, Tuoba Wu looked at the attendant who had been waiting for a long time and said, "Did you see when His Royal Highness will leave?"
The servant standing below looked stunned, "Your Highness, what servant?"
Tuoba Wu was slightly surprised, apparently Yan Li was avoiding people, and the attendant saw the robe in Tuoba Wu's hand, and was very surprised, "Your Highness, this is..."
Tuoba Wu glanced at Yan Li's robe, shook his head and turned to go in, naturally he didn't want to go anywhere else at this moment.
…
…
It was not too early when Qin Wan came out of the palace. He went to see a doctor for Ta Bahong, and then went to the Empress Dowager's Palace. The Empress Dowager left her to talk, so she came out too late.
Back at the gate of the Hou's Mansion, Qin Wan found that there was already a carriage parked outside the Hou's Mansion, and Fu Ling said, "Miss, are there any guests at home?"
Qin Wan shook his head, but didn't bother, and went straight into the gate of the mansion.
Qin Wan planned to go back to Songfengyuan, but just as he reached the main courtyard, Qin Yan's voice came from behind.
"Ninth sister, you are back!"
Qin Wan turned around, "Third brother, I just came back from the palace, what's the matter?"
Qin Yan smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, why don't you come to the study."
Qin Wan thought of the carriage parked in front of the door and said, "Is there someone here?"
Qin Yan smiled, "His Royal Highness and Lord Zheng are here, why did the case come here?"
Qin Wan's heart shuddered, and his expression became a bit solemn. Qin Yan couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene. Her younger sister has become a legend in the capital since she came back from the Weishan hunting ground. She said how she broke the Northern Wei Dynasty. The mysterious case of the mission, there is a story about how she was named princess. The people in the market did not see it with their own eyes, but they describe it very clearly, as if they really saw it with their own eyes. Naturally, there are some unpleasant things in it. The voice was heard by Qin Yan in the Forbidden Army. When he heard it, he was very annoyed and almost had an argument with his life. However, when he saw Qin Wan now, he knew that these sounds are good and bad. Yes, Qin Wan doesn't care at all.
Followed Qin Yan to the study room, Prince Yanche and Zheng Baishi were indeed inside, the prince was sitting in the first place, Qin Shu and Zheng Baishi were sitting on the left and right, they all smiled when they saw Qin Wan coming in.
Qin Wan bowed one by one, and Zheng Baishi said, "I have been waiting for the princess for a long time. His Royal Highness came to inquire about the case. Today, I came to the Hou's mansion with me as a guest. Thinking that the princess is the person who examines the autopsy, I also want to let the county Lord, listen."
It has only been one day since Yan Che went to the Yamen, Zheng Baishi did not expect Yan Che to intervene again, but Yan Che was reprimanded by the emperor, it is right to take these things seriously, coming to the Marquis Mansion was Yan Che's order, Zheng Baishi thought of Qin Chao Yu didn't find it strange that she was going to be the crown princess, but logically speaking, Yan Che should avoid suspicion at this time.
Qin Wan naturally knew that Yan Che was here for the case, so he said, "But there are new clues?"
Zheng Baishi nodded, "I found a suspicious person."
Seeing Qin Wan standing in the lower position, Yan Che said, "Princess, please sit down and listen."
Qin Guan blessed the body and took a seat, Zheng Baishi just said, "It's an apprentice from a painting gallery, this apprentice is mainly responsible for engraving seals, he had a quarrel with Wu Qian a few days ago, Wu Qian asked him to carve a private seal, saying Yes, I will give twenty taels of silver, but the seal was taken by Wu Qian for several days and he still didn't get any money, so the apprentice went to him to ask for money, and it was the one who blocked him in Fengqi Tower, this person was also I asked someone from Fengqi Building, it just so happened that this person didn't say where he went that night, but now he has been taken back by Wen Zhanyang for interrogation, and there will probably be news within today."
Qin Wan was slightly surprised, "If that's the case, then the case is quite simple."
Zheng Baishi nodded, "The person who carves the seal must be good at using a knife. This person is still a cultivator. He even set up a Dharma altar in his home at a young age. Up to now, Wu Qian has not given him any money. Zhan Yang took someone to find him that day. In the past, that person was still cursing Wu Qian, although he did not admit that Wu Qian's death had anything to do with him, but it was true that he hated Wu Qian."
Qin Wan had a hope in his heart, if the person who killed Wu Qian was really the one who carved the seal, it would be much easier, and no one else would be victimized...
Qin Shu also said, "Before I heard people say that this case is very complicated, and it also involved some old cases. I was in the Ministry of Households all day, and I heard that you went to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Now if this person is the murderer, then solve the case Already!"
Zheng Baishi sighed, "I hope that the whole person is the murderer, but I can't be sure."
Qin Wan nodded, "Although he is good at wielding knives, how did he attack Wu Qian that day and where did he kill Wu Qian? We must ask the details clearly."
Qin Shu said casually, "Since this person can't tell where he was when the crime happened, he is extremely suspicious."
Zheng Baishi said with a smile, "I can't say anything about the punishment and prison. Sometimes these people just can't explain their own affairs clearly, and even mislead the yamen. Zhan Yang sent someone to investigate, and the third son of the Wu family did the same thing that night." Alone in the mansion, no one else to testify, the princess should still remember that when we went to Weiyuanbo's mansion that day, the third son was very heartbroken over his brother's death, but later sent someone to Weiyuanbo's mansion to investigate, But it is said that this third son once beat Wu Qian severely, and there is a grudge between the two brothers."
Qin Wan said, "Why are you fighting? These three young masters believe in you?"
Zheng Baishi smiled wryly, "When I went to ask, the third young master was downplaying and refused to answer. As for the truth, he couldn't see it, so it's hard to do anything to him right now."
One person died, but many grievances were involved, and who is the real murderer
Yan Che had been to the Hou Mansion during the Chinese New Year, but now that he is here, it is not good to just talk about the case. After a while, he talked about other places. Zheng Baishi was talking about the tea that the Hou Mansion gave him during the Chinese New Year, but Yan Che asked Qin Guan, "The princess brought back His Highness Ninth Prince's bird, how is it doing?"
Qin Wan didn't expect that he still remembered this episode, so he said honestly, "It's not good, it doesn't seem to like the food in the mansion after it was brought out, and it hasn't eaten much these days, it's a bit sleepy."
Yan Che didn't move when he heard the words, but said, "You can try soybean powder and mung bean powder with chopped fresh shrimp."
Qin Wan was slightly surprised, not only Qin Wan, but also Zheng Baishi, Qin Shu, and Qin Yan were stunned. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was obsessed with state affairs. How could he say such soy bean powder and mung bean powder
After Yan Che finished speaking, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he said, "There are also birds in the palace, and I saw them once in a while."
Qin Wan hurriedly calmed down, "Thank you, Your Highness, then I will ask the people below to try it when I go back."
Yan Che nodded, and then asked about other things about Qin Shu's household department. As soon as Qin Wan heard about the state affairs, she got up and said goodbye. It's not good for her to stay in the same place as a girl, so Qin Shu let her Go back first.
Qin Wan took Poria back to Songfengyuan, and ordered, "Go find some soybean powder and mung bean powder, and then find some fresh shrimps, chop them up and wrap them with powder, and feed them to Jinqueer."
Fu Ling was a little surprised that Qin Wan had such a prescription, and quickly followed it.
These things are not difficult to find. After an hour, the golden bird has already eaten it. The little guy who hasn't eaten much for a few days has finished eating a handful of Fulings prepared very quickly. Xia and the others went to prepare again, while reporting back to Qin Wan, Qin Wan went to see Jin Que'er first, and felt relieved when she saw that it was as Fu Ling said, but soon, a strange feeling floated in her heart. I feel that the prescription Yan Che said is too useful!
Qin Wan had doubts in his heart, but he didn't know what was going on with this matter. Could it be that Yan Che had raised sparrows before
So suspicious, but Qin Wan had no way to ask, so he suppressed this thought for the time being. Early the next morning, Qin Wan just got up and was about to go to Meng Yao's mansion to see Meng Yao, but Zhan Yang came to Hou's mansion.
Zhan Yang was brought to Songfengyuan by Qin Yan, Qin Wan knew that something was wrong when he saw Zhan Yang, Zhan Yang's expression was too serious!
Sure enough, Zhan Yang opened his mouth and said, "Princess, you're dead again, the magistrate sent a villain to pick you up."
Qin Wan took a deep breath. Yesterday he thought that the murderer of Wu Qian's case had been caught, so there would be no more deaths. Unexpectedly, the matter was not that simple.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll change clothes and go with you!"
Qin Wan changed into a simple dress, ordered Bai Ying to prepare the utensils for the autopsy, and then followed Zhan Yang and walked out. The carriage outside the mansion was ready, Qin Wan got into the carriage, and Zhan Yang's imperial horse followed side.
Zhan Yang said while walking, "It was found by the moat in the west of the city. The deceased's tongue was pulled out and his ten fingers were cut off."
Qin Wan's heart tightened when he heard that, the first one was the peeling hell, and the second was the tongue pulling hell, which was almost exactly the same as the case back then. Qin Wan suddenly thought of the third person who died that year, the ice hell, the murderer didn't care Whether it is imitation or the murderer of the case back then, this time he will definitely continue to kill, which makes the person handling the case more nervous than the emperor getting angry!
The first person to die died in the south of the city, but the second person died in the west of the city. In the imperial city, the closer to the imperial palace, the more heavily guarded it is, and the moat that surrounds the imperial city is somewhat marginal. , The carriage went through the streets and alleys and went straight to the moat in the west of the city. Before it arrived, it saw many people surrounded by people.
Zhan Yang looked at it and felt a little embarrassed, Qin Wan is the princess, she is a woman, so many people are watching, how can she let her show her face.
Qin Wan was in the carriage, but felt that the carriage stopped suddenly. When he lifted the curtain, he saw that the road in front of him was surrounded by people and the carriages could no longer pass. Qin Wan said decisively, "Zhan Butou leads the way, let's go over."
Qin Wan's expression was stern and solemn, and Zhan Yang couldn't say what he was about to say, but he was a little more respectful to Qin Wan, and let the two government servants open the way ahead, and he walked towards the place where the crime happened while protecting Qin Wan.
"Hey, someone is here, why is there a girl!"
"Is this the rumored Princess Yongci—"
"The one who knows both medicine and autopsy?"
Qin Wan was guarded in the middle, and at first glance he was a person of noble status, and Qin Wan's achievements in being canonized as princess were known to everyone, and soon someone guessed Qin Wan's identity, and there were a lot of discussions, Zhan Yang looked stern, white Ying didn't dare to be careless to protect Qin Wan, for fear that the common people would run into Qin Wan in excitement.
"Ah, he's really a medical fairy-"
"No, the rumors are all true..."
"How can you do an autopsy, my pretty girl? An autopsy is a lowly job, but it's what you do!"
"I can't figure it out. For a little girl like a fairy, it's just a matter of curing illnesses and saving lives. She also needs to go for an autopsy. It's really unlucky to see dead people every day. A little girl doesn't know if she can stand those evil spirits..."
"You don't know yet, the Princess Yongci seems to have lost both of her parents..."
Qin Wan heard all the discussions, but her face remained unchanged. She chose this path, and she had to face these things. Normally, she would not hear them when she stayed at home, but now it is inevitable to show her face.
"The yamen handles the case, give way, give way—"
The closer they got, the more crowded the people were, and the two yamen servants couldn't open their way. At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, "Let's all go, the Lord Yongci is here for an autopsy—"
This loud shout caused the people in front who didn't know Qin Wan was here to look back in shock. The people at the back moved forward, and the people at the front were also crowded towards Qin Wan and the others. Soon, people It was so crowded that Qin Wan retreated frequently, and there were more and more people, Bai Ying became anxious, "Miss, we can't make it through, let's retreat."
Qin Wan didn't expect things to turn out like this, so he had to take two steps back.
"Where is Princess Yongci?! Rumor has it that her medical skills are superb, and her autopsy skills are even more superb than the most powerful forensics. Is she here to help the Yamen solve the case—"
"Where is Princess Yongci—"
The name of Princess Yongci has been spread in the capital for many days, but the people have never seen it. When they heard that Princess Yongci had arrived, the people were excited. Qin Wan backed away again and again, but the people just behind also went They came here, and at this moment, Qin Wan and the others were surrounded by the people halfway, unable to retreat, unable to enter...
Just as he was in a dilemma, suddenly, a loud shout sounded from the direction Qin Wan came from!
"Prince Rui's son has arrived—"
This shout spread far away, and immediately quieted the noisy shouts around.
"Who is His Royal Highness Prince Rui's son?"
"It's the demon king who fought in the Shuoxi Army before—"
Someone in the crowd whispered, and in an instant, the crowd that was rushing towards Qin Wan receded immediately, and in the direction Qin Wan came from, the people even moved to the left and right sides, revealing a straight road in the middle. At the end, Yan Chi's team was on horseback. As soon as the crowd stepped aside, Yan Chi caught sight of Qin Wan.
As soon as he dropped his whip, he rode his horse towards him. Seeing this posture, the surrounding people even retreated to the two sides, as if they were afraid of being hurt by Yan Chi's whip. Qin Wan watched Yan Chi gallop up to her. Before she could react, she felt that Yan Chi suddenly leaned over. She only felt her waist tighten, and the next moment she rose into the air and landed in front of Yan Chi.
He actually carried her onto the horse's back—
Qin Wan sat in front of Yan Chi, he was waving the whip with one hand and pulling the rein with the other, Qin Wan subconsciously grabbed her arm, this scene fell in the eyes of the common people, but the common people had no time to think that the male and female professors couldn't bear it.
Demon King Yanchi's reputation has long been well-known in the capital. Coupled with the fact that he is dressed in a flirty black robe, he sits on the horseback in a majestic manner. Scared, how could he think about anything else, Yan Chi didn't give them a chance to discuss, he whipped off his horse and galloped forward with Qin Wan!
His horse was extremely fast, and he didn't slow down at all because of the people. He looked like he didn't care about the life and death of the people at all.
When the riot happened suddenly, Zheng Baishi was worried about Qin Wan, but he didn't want to see Yan Chi rushing out of the crowd with Qin Wan. Zheng Baishi was relieved to see Qin Wan's well-behaved, but soon, Zheng Baishi saw Looking at Yan Chi hugging Qin Wan, how do you think this picture is very ambiguous—
Fortunately, Yan Chi got off his horse when his horse arrived.
He stretched out his hand as if he wanted to hug Qin Wan down, but Qin Wan grabbed his wrist quickly, so Qin Wan used his wrist to get off the horse by himself.
Yan Chi raised his brows slightly, and supported Qin Wan with his backhand. Seeing that Qin Wan had stabilized, he released Qin Wan.
This scene was seen by Zheng Baishi, and Zheng Baishi looked at Yan Chi with a particularly deep expression...
"His Royal Highness, Princess—" Zheng Baishi came forward to salute.
Yan Chi nodded, "Where is the dead?"
Today, Yan Chi was in the Ministry of Punishment, and rushed over after getting the news. The Ministry of Punishment was further away from here, so he came slower than Qin Wan, but he didn't want to catch up with Qin Wan and be trapped there by a group of people!
Fortunately, nothing happened to Qin Wan today. If something happened, how could he be so talkative
Right now the case is the most critical, Zheng Baishi turned around and said, "Here, please His Royal Highness and the princess come with me!"
This is a folk square near the moat, which is much better than the south of the city, and the deceased is on the bank of the moat. Zheng Baishi led the two of them along the stone road for a while and saw a place on the road above. Go down the steps of the moat. In this season, the water in the moat is not deep, and there is even a large piece of silt on the bank. The dead are lying under the embankment of the moat. This position is difficult to find unless someone stands on the opposite side and sees it. .
There were guards around the corpse, but because it was close to the folk square, there were many people on both sides of the moat. Zheng Baishi ignored those gazes and just went straight, "Someone found it while walking on the other side in the morning. At first, I thought it was someone who was drunk. I fell down, but I didn't expect it to be a dead person. After being discovered, the common people gathered around to watch, and because the dead person was the closest to a tea shop here, the owner of the tea shop sent his staff to the Yamen to report the case."
During the conversation, several people had already walked to the corpse, and it could be seen that the corpse had not been moved.
The deceased was a tall man who appeared to be in his thirties. He was tall and thin. He was lying on his back at the moment. Dried blood was all over the front of the chest, which looked a little shocking. His clothes were very ordinary, and he looked like he came from ordinary people, and his hands were strangely bent by his sides, and all ten fingers were covered with blood. It was cut off, and at this moment, his ten fingers fell to the ground messily, because they were covered with blood, they did not look like human fingers—
Although it is much better than the first person who was skinned to death, but because this person was covered in blood and his fingers were cut off, it was also very shocking, and most of the people watching were just watching the fun, really Only men dare to look at dead people. Qin Wan glanced at the corpse a few times, and then looked around. Her eyes were serious, almost as if she was looking for someone.
Yan Chi asked, "What are you looking at?"
Qin Wan said in a low voice, "Some murderers like to come back to the scene after the incident. First, they can see if they have left any clues at the scene to be caught. Second, they can watch the officials handle the case. It will also satisfy his own twisted psychology, and generally, they will have a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction."
After Qin Wan finished speaking, Yan Chi also looked around with his eyes. However, it has been a long time since the incident happened, even Zheng Baishi has been here for less than half an hour. There are many people around, and everyone has different expressions. Just looking at it like this , but it is still difficult to distinguish.
Qin Wan took a few glances to no avail, then knelt down to check first. She put on the gloves and pinched the deceased's chin first, but she did not see the deceased's tongue, and the deceased's face was bruised and his mouth was full of sticky Blood foam, she thought for a while, then opened the dead man's eyelids and looked, but saw sporadic bleeding spots on the dead man's eyelids.
Qin Wan frowned and said, "The deceased died of suffocation due to bleeding from the wound after his tongue was pulled out."
In broad daylight, Qin Wan couldn't take off the deceased's clothes, let alone an autopsy. She roughly checked the deceased's hands and feet, then looked at the deceased's clothes, and said, "The deceased's calves and the heels of the shoes have rubbed against each other. It should have been dragged by someone." Qin Wan glanced at the steps going down again, "Go and have a look, there may be traces on the steps."
After Qin Wan finished speaking, Zheng Baishi hurriedly pointed to a government servant to look at it. At this time, Zhan Yang and Bai Ying had just arrived. Zheng Baishi repeated what Qin Wan said just now, Zhan Yang nodded, and Qin Wan said again, " The time of death of the deceased should have been after the midnight last night, and it has been four hours now, the limbs have begun to appear stiff, and most of the corpse spots appear on the back, this should be the place where the deceased was killed." Said, Qin Wan picked up the fingers on the ground and looked at them, "The nails of the deceased are very clean and tidy."
Qin Wan picked up the ten fingers one by one and handed them to a yamen officer. The yamen officer was not too young, but his hand was shaking when he took a finger. Qin Wan glanced at him, and then went to check the clothes of the deceased, "the deceased His index finger and ring finger have calluses, which should be due to holding a pen for a long time, and there are ink stains on his cuffs, either because he is a bookkeeper, or he is a scholar, or a teacher, and it is very likely that he My home is near here... ”
Yan Chi said, "This is Minfang, and the patrol guards from the patrol battalion will come here at night. If it wasn't for the people here, the murderer wouldn't have brought him here specifically to kill him."
Qin Wan nodded, that's what she meant.
Zheng Baishi said, "I have asked someone to ask, but I haven't asked yet."
As soon as the words fell, a loud cry suddenly sounded on the bank of the moat!
"Master—Master—"
Qin Wan immediately looked up when she heard the words, but saw a plainly dressed woman walking down the moat with tears on her face. She ran down the steps in a few steps, and saw the person lying on the ground staggered in her footsteps. She staggered and fell to the ground. The servant who was near saw her and hurried forward to help her, but she crawled towards the dead with both hands and feet. She climbed to the front, the grief on her face became more obvious, and then Throw on the dead and cry loudly!
Qin Wan and Yan Chi looked at each other, Zheng Baishi hurried forward and said, "You are his..."
The woman's tears were red from crying, she raised her head to look at Zheng Baishi, and continued to cry and hold the dead man's arm, then a servant from behind hurried forward and said, "My lord, just now the villain went here The family in the folk square next door asked if someone had disappeared. The lady ran towards this side as soon as she heard this, saying that her husband hadn't come back all night and was worried... "
