"On the corpse?!" Jiang was surprised, "What evidence is there on the corpse? The yamen's office has already experienced it, and the inspection certificate was sent to the Hou's mansion. The office said that the deceased was indeed beaten to death."
Qin Wan frowned, "Wu Zuo has determined the cause of death?"
Mrs. Jiang nodded, "Yes, it has been confirmed. It is said that the ribs are broken. If the ribs are broken, the internal organs will be punctured. It is said that the deceased must have died because of this reason."
Qin Wan's eyes flickered a little, "Did the yamen perform an autopsy?"
Jiang's eyes twitched, and he suspected that he had heard it wrong, "What? Autopsy?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Yes, just now I saw that the body of the deceased was in good shape when he was carried in, not like after being dissected. The yamen's office should not have dissected the body, right?"
Fear appeared in Jiang's eyes, "An autopsy... Why do you need an autopsy?"
The Jiang family is a noblewoman, and she would be afraid to die normally, let alone cut a person open. When she saw Qin Wan's serious face, she was a little shocked for a moment. Even she felt afraid. How could Qin Wan be so turbulent? Not surprised to ask
"Rib fractures can be detected by a doctor or an experienced foreman. However, whether the five internal organs have been punctured or not can only be detected by touch. The only way to determine the real cause of death of the deceased is an autopsy."
Jiang's eyes widened, "The autopsy... this... the government office did not dissect the body..."
After a slight pause, Jiang said again, "Guan'er, how do you know this?"
Qin Wan said calmly, "A doctor who cures all diseases naturally knows better than ordinary people why a person dies, and a person is injured a lot, but there are only one or two wounds that are fatal or ultimately fatal. It can only be discerned through the operation of experience, and ordinary people cannot see it."
Da Zhou's slaves are all men, and they are all pedestrians with low status. It is absolutely impossible for noble ladies like Qin Wan to come into contact with them. Fortunately, Qin Wan is good at medical skills, and it is normal for doctors to understand the cause of death. up.
However, a doctor and a doctor are different after all, and Qin Wan couldn't rashly ask for an autopsy.
Jiang was stunned, "So that's what you mean, you want to let the officials of the government office do the autopsy?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Yes, only an autopsy can determine why the deceased died."
Jiang nodded slightly, and there was some thought in her eyes. Although she was a housewife, she was not a person without opinions. After thinking about it, she felt that Qin Wan's words were reasonable, so she asked Lu Yun to give some instructions.
After a while, Luyun entered the side hall, and Jiang took Qin Wan and the others to Hounuan Pavilion.
After waiting for a few moments, Yue Qiong strode in, "Ma'am, why do you want to invite Wu to come over?"
Jiang glanced at Qin Wan, and told Yue Qiong everything Qin Wan said just now. Yue Qiong's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the eyes of Qin Wan became more and more amazed and appreciative. Soon, Yue Qiong made a decision, "I will immediately Send someone to ask the government office to do it!"
Qin Wan was certain that he also admired Anyang Hou's family, not to mention repaying kindness, Yue Qiong was loyal and heroic, and the Jiang family was also gentle and virtuous. Although Yue Ning and his son Yue Jia had no They are close friends, but they don't look like people with bad conduct up close. Such a family deserves her to help them find out the truth.
The people sent to find Wu Zuo had already set off, and Yue Qiong called Yue Jia again, "Your second brother hasn't returned yet, and the person you sent didn't have a letter. You can send more people to look for it. Let Zhifu Huo treat him as a fugitive!"
As soon as Yue Jia left, Yang Xi came in from the outside and said, "Master Wei, Mr. Wei is going to see you outside, and ask if you want his help?"
Mr. Wei? Qin Wan frowned slightly.
The Jiang family was the closest to her, so he explained, "It's Miss Song's cousin. After the accident last night, the Song family's senders stayed in Jinzhou for the time being. Right now, those who live in the East Garden of the Hou's Mansion are for the purpose of investigating the case. It is also the intention of the Hou family to comfort them."
Qin Wan suddenly remembered that it was the boy who was at the front of the wedding procession!
It turned out to be Miss Song's cousin...
Yue Qiong was slightly surprised, and hurriedly said, "Please—"
When Wei Yanzhi came in from the outside, the tired look on his face was still there. He had come all the way to get married, and he was already extremely tired. Coupled with Song Rou's death, he was holding on to his energy, even though he washed and changed into a new robe. , but people still looked depressed.
"Greetings to Lord Hou, madam, and His Royal Highness, I heard that the second young master of the Hou's mansion is missing after leaving the mansion, do you need Yanzhi's help to look for it together?" Wei Yanzhi clasped his hands and saluted, and his gestures were quite upright and courteous.
Yue Qiong waved his hand, "Nephew still needs to rest well today, so I don't need your help."
Wei Yanzhi sighed, "My mind is restless and I can't rest. Why don't I help the family do something."
Everyone knew about his mental illness, so Yan Chi stepped forward and hugged his shoulders. Wei Yanzhi was tall and tall, but when the two stood together, he was half a point shorter than Yan Chi. Yan Chi said loudly, "My condolences to Brother Wei. If you feel bored, you can go for a walk in Jinzhou City. If it really doesn't work, there is a martial arts arena in the Hou's mansion, so you can go and practice."
Wei Yanzhi served in the Jingzhong Patrol Battalion, and he was considered a general, so Yan Chi's words fit perfectly.
Wei Yanzhi nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Yanzhi saw the martial arts arena while walking around the mansion, and he was thinking about that too."
Yue Qiong sighed, "There have been a lot of things going on in the mansion these past two days, so please forgive me for any negligence. Princess Taichang is not in good health, and Qing'er... When this matter is over, let Jia'er accompany you to relax."
Wei Yanzhi immediately waved his hand, "No, no, no, it's just a matter of intractability. It's a trivial matter. Lord Hou doesn't need to worry about it. He just wants Xiaorou's death to come to an end sooner. Only by saying this can he explain to uncle. gone."
Wei Yanzhi's arrival made the atmosphere in the room even more heavy. Yue Qiong was about to explain a few more words, but Yue Jia ran in with a look of surprise, "Father, mother, the magistrate is here, and the second brother is back with the magistrate!"
Yue Qiong was stunned, Jiang's face was also surprised, the two came out one after another, just after they left, they saw Huo Huaixin behind the shadow wall, leading two servants from the government office, striding towards Yue Qing.
"Qing'er—" Seeing Yue Qing, Jiang couldn't help calling out.
Yue Qing's face was filled with sadness, and he came to Jiang Shi's side and pursed his lips without saying a word. Jiang Shi looked at Huo Huaixin and then at Yue Qing, "Qing'er, why did you come back with the magistrate?"
Huo Huaixin's short and fat body was wrapped in a dark cloak, his small eyes were full of regret and sympathy, "Ma'am, the second son came to the yamen half an hour ago to surrender!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang's eyes turned red, "Qing'er—"
Yue Qing took Jiang's hand and looked at Yue Qiong again, "Father, mother, I have made it clear that since people died because of me, then I can only surrender and take responsibility. I have already written a certificate in the government office. for."
As soon as the evidence is written, he has confessed his guilt, and he can be convicted and sentenced. Although Yue Qiong let Yue Qing surrender early in the morning, but at this moment, his complexion also turned pale. If Yue Qing is sentenced, even if he does not die , this life can be regarded as ruined.
The Jiang family couldn't help crying, and Huo Huaixin sighed when he saw this, first it was Miss Song's case, and then Yue Qing killed someone, the Anyang Marquis Mansion was involved in two murder cases, which can be said to be a serious injury, "Master Hou, The second son has made it clear and the evidence has been charged. He was supposed to be imprisoned immediately, but I think that the princess and his wife must have a good talk with the second son, so I plan to give the second son a grace period of two days. The day after tomorrow, come and take the Second Young Master away."
The Jiang family whimpered, and Yue Qiong felt pain in his eyes. Because of Qin Wan's words, they still had doubts about the case, and even thought that Yue Qing might be wronged, but they never thought that Yue Qing would surrender to the case. All have been drawn!
That being the case, the case has been concluded, and nothing else will help.
Huo Huaixin sighed unceasingly. Not only did Yue Qing and Yue Jia have outstanding family backgrounds, they were both young heroes. They would most likely follow the example of the Marquis of Anyang to hold military power in the future. This was a great future, but it was ruined by a craftsman.
Huo Huaixin felt it was a pity, and was about to appease Yue Qiong, when unexpectedly, a cold voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.
"Dare to ask the magistrate, the cause of death of the deceased has not yet been determined, how can we be sure that the second son killed someone?"
Huo Huaixin frowned, and looked towards the end of the crowd, and saw a young girl with a high temperament and a beautiful appearance standing quietly under the dim lights of the Hou Mansion.
She looked over with her clear but sharp eyes, which made Huo Huaixin's heart tremble.
Huo Huaixin narrowed his eyes, "Who are you?"
