We had not had time to deal with the people related to the assassin before, but the post station had been blocked from the beginning. Now that they were brought in for trial, they naturally knew nothing and cried out that they were innocent. Even if we tortured them, the result would be the same.
Everything Wei Tingyu did before and after he became the commander of Kaiping Guards was hidden in the dark. Torture was so commonplace, even though he rarely did it himself. However, by looking at a person's reaction after being tortured, one could basically tell whether he was telling the truth or hiding something.
Wei Tingyu watched coldly the whole time, and then ordered people to search the post house again, as well as all the places where the assassin had traveled before entering the post house - as a person of a special profession, the range of activities was very limited.
Wei Tingyu wanted to verify his idea, and it was actually quite simple. Sure enough, he found another female corpse.
So, General Gu’s “old lover” had been replaced by someone long ago without anyone knowing.
Very good, this time, the clue is broken again, making people’s faces so dark that they are almost as dark as the bottom of a pot.
No matter who the attacker is, it happened in Qi Chao after all, so Liu Qian will naturally not let it go. The three people in charge are relatively okay, but the people under General Gu are a little fierce. They are General Gu's subordinates, and General Gu has always been generous and protective of his subordinates, so the people under him naturally respect him. On the other hand, they share the honor and disgrace with General Gu. Now they are making trouble not only to seek justice for their superiors, but also because of their fear for the future.
The other three people in charge did not say a word, obviously leaving them alone.
The officials of the Qi Dynasty were all furious. Wei Tingyu had a blank expression on his face. He just "accidentally" dropped a teacup. When everyone looked over, he stood up and straightened his sleeves. "This place is not far from the main hall. You can make a little more noise, but I don't know if it will affect Princess Anguo. In addition, let me remind you that Princess Anguo is very easy to talk to when she is around, but now she is like this. Maybe she has a bad temper."
After Wei Tingyu finished speaking, he walked away leisurely.
The people who stayed behind looked at each other in bewilderment. No one from Liuqi dared to make trouble anymore. Anyway, they would wait until the matter with Princess Anguo was over. If they could rescue the person...
By the time I finished, it was already very late.
What was different from usual was that Xiaocao did not explain the patient's condition, but went to wash and change out of her "surgical gown".
After she came out, both the officials of Qi Dynasty and the people from Qi Dynasty were waiting for her.
"The situation has stabilized for now, but because of the poisoning, the serious injuries, and the excessive blood loss, if he hadn't been hanging on to his life before, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to wait for treatment. Because his organs may have been affected, it's hard to say to what extent he can recover."
Xiaocao's expression was cold and indifferent at the moment, but the deterrent effect was still not diminished.
"So, our general was really rescued?" The person who had been making a fuss before said with excitement and anticipation.
"If you don't give others any chance to take advantage of you, you won't die."
Normally, when an operation is successful and the patient is out of danger, Xiaocao will feel relaxed, but this time it is different...
The other party was not dissatisfied with Xiaocao's attitude and seemed very happy to hear these words.
"Thank you, Princess Anguo." The handsome man beside Prince Xiao and Princess Lanqi spoke first.
Later, the others also expressed their gratitude. After all, before this, they had believed that General Gu was doomed to die, but he was finally snatched back from the hands of the King of Hell. No matter who he was, they would respect someone with such miraculous skills.
Wei Tingyu bowed to Xiaocao and said, "Princess, you have worked hard." In front of outsiders, proper etiquette should not be lost. "But there is one more thing I need to trouble you with, Princess."
"It's okay for you to speak frankly, Commander." I really want to go back to sleep right now, but it's obviously not possible. I will probably have to stay in the inn tonight. It would be a good idea if the epidemic is resolved if there is anything.
Wei Tingyu told Xiaocao how General Gu was assassinated, "… The people of Liuqi are good at drinking, especially General Gu. It is impossible that he was drunk and had a slow reaction. Moreover, as a border general, he must have been alert. It is completely absurd that a weak woman stabbed him with a dagger. So, in addition to his great strength, I suspect that the assassin must have other problems that made General Gu unable to fight back, so I would like to ask the princess to examine the body."
After hearing what Wei Tingyu said, Xiaocao became a little interested.
You must know that the food in the inn was prepared by Liuqi himself, and the people recruited from outside needed to wash their clothes thoroughly and change into newly prepared clothes. The possibility of poisoning was really small. Moreover, Xiaocao knew best that there was no highly toxic, quickly effective, colorless and odorless poison in the world. In addition, the assassin had also replaced the person outside.
So, it is worth exploring what is wrong with her.
A dead person, or a completely dead person, naturally could not cause any psychological impact on the grass.
Xiaocao spent some time performing the autopsy and indeed found something wrong.
