Peerless little medical concubine

Chapter 208 Testimony
In the side courtyard, Wei Lingxiao had someone invite Wu Zuo over. After Wei Ziming and Ning Shuangyu were carried back last night, they were just placed in a dilapidated abandoned courtyard, and no one had touched them.

"Although it looks like Auntie Ning was strangled to death, the specifics will only be determined after an inspection by the foreman."

An autopsy is an extremely dirty thing for them, especially heirs like Wei Lingxiao and Wei Ziming have to avoid it, so they walked out after Wu Zuo went in.

"My lord, please let my concubine go in and check with Wu Zuo." Wu Zuo came and was about to conduct an autopsy on the corpse. Yesterday she only had a rough look, and she had to go in to check the details before she knew.

"It's fine if you have someone to work in, what are you doing in there?" Wei Lingxiao frowned disapprovingly.

"Aunt Ning went with the concubine after all, and the concubine would feel more at ease to check it out herself."

In the end, Ning Erlan couldn't be screwed, but Wei Lingxiao let her in anyway.

Wei Lingxiao invited Zheng Wu, who was famous in Bianjing. As soon as he entered Ning Erlan, he saw him dissecting Ning Shuangyu neatly. Zheng Wu looked calm, but his eyes showed seriousness. look.He didn't even notice that Ning Erlan came in.

When Ning Erlan walked in front of the corpse after disinfecting herself, Zheng Wu raised his head in surprise. "Why did the princess come in?"

"This concubine also knows some medical skills, so I came in to have a look. Did Wu Zuo find anything unusual?"

"The lower officials have checked the internal organs of the deceased, and haven't found anything wrong yet." Zheng Wu replied truthfully.

"Was the deceased indeed strangled?"

"To be precise, he was strangled to death with bare hands." Zheng Wu said, lifting Ning Shuangyu's neck so that Ning Erlan could clearly see the strangle marks on it.The strangle marks on the neck were as thick as three fingers lined up, and now they had turned a dark reddish purple color, with some gaps in the middle of the marks, so it could be seen that the murderer strangled the person to death with a rope as thick as three fingers.

At a glance, it does look like this, but if you look closely, you will find that there are some strange places on this trace, that is, some gaps are covered. If you look closer, you will find that the covering is a similar Traces of humanoid fingerprints.

Ning Erlan's eyes were slightly fixed, and she looked at the marks on Ning Shuangyu's neck with both eyes, and then suddenly stretched out her hand and pinched her neck, although the frown slowly spread away.

"The murderer found that after strangling the person to death, he strangled the neck of the deceased with a rope, creating the illusion of being strangled by the rope. This is to hide the real cause of death of the deceased." Zheng Wu looked at what he had just checked out. As a result, he said in a deep voice.

"No, the murderer not only strangled the victim's neck with a rope, but also threw the deceased into the water, so that people would first think that she died of drowning. But after seeing the strangle marks on the neck, they would suddenly think that the deceased It was strangled to death. It is often the case that everyone concludes that the deceased was strangled to death." The people behind this scene are very scheming.Every step counts and nothing is missed.

Now she had to go to the Songzi Guanyin Temple with Ning Shuangyu, and then took away the copper coins from her body without anyone noticing, and planted them on her body. Unfortunately, she made a little mistake after all the calculations. ...

"Are you sure that the deceased was strangled to death?" Ning Erlan raised her eyes to Zheng Wu and confirmed again.

Zheng Wu was not annoyed when Ning Erlan doubted his ability to work, but said seriously: "I can be sure. Moreover, the deceased did not show any signs of fighting when he died, which means that the other party must be someone familiar to the deceased. .”

"kindness."

The momentum on this side alarmed the entire Ling Palace, many servants gathered around the door of the side courtyard to find out what was going on inside, and Aunt Zhang was waiting to see if Ning Erlan was in trouble.

"Concubine Lin is here." Someone yelled, and when she turned her head, she saw Lin Yanyan in green clothes walking towards her.

"Say hello to the side concubine." The people headed by Aunt Zhang had no choice but to ask Lin Yanyan to say hello.

"Get up. I heard that something happened in the palace, so I came to have a look." After Lin Yanyan finished speaking, she walked in.Originally, according to the rules, the slaves would be punished for keeping watch and letting the master know, but Lin Yanyan didn't want them to disperse. I don't know if he forgot or what.And after entering, I forgot to ask the servants to close the courtyard door... so that everyone outside can see what happened inside.

"The concubine sees the lord, the second prince." Lin Yanyan came to the two of them and said with a blissful body.

Wei Ziming responded indifferently, while Wei Lingxiao frowned. "What are you doing here?"

"My concubine heard that the princess has encountered some troubles, so I came here to see if I can help." Lin Yanyan answered reasonably and decently, and Wei Lingxiao couldn't drive her away.

"Just watch from the sidelines."

Not long after, Ning Erlan and Wu Zuo came out of the room.

Wei Ziming spoke first, "How's the test going?"

"Back to Second Prince, Aunt Ning was strangled to death, not by a rope."

"The one who was strangled?" He didn't care when he went back yesterday, and he didn't ask anyone to check. He only thought about how to get hold of Ning Erlan and Wei Lingxiao. He never thought that Ning Shuangyu was actually strangled to death. of.

"Back to Second Prince, I dare not speak nonsense."

"Princess, you are so cruel. Aunt Ning is your sister, how can you do it?" Wei Ziming brought the maid who pointed out Ning Erlan in the temple yesterday together.Now hearing Wu Zuo say that, he stepped forward to accuse him excitedly.

"What nonsense are you talking about, servant girl? How could the concubine harm her own sister? Could it be that you were bribed and came out to correct me carelessly?" Before Ning Erlan could open her mouth to refute, Lin Yanyan spoke up.

"Even if you give the slaves a hundred courageous slaves, they don't dare to slander the princess. If it wasn't done by the princess, then why would Aunt Ning have the copper coins worn by the princess in her hands? There was no one in the temple at that time. who is it?"

The servant girl's face was full of tears, and her expression was extremely excited. Those who didn't know it thought that Ning Shuangyu was not her master but her own mother.

"Why are you so sure that this concubine harmed Aunt Ning? Just rely on those two copper coins? You must know that there is nothing special about the copper coins, and it is not difficult to make exactly the same." Ning Erlan looked calm. He looked at the little maid, it was Ning Shuangyu who followed her after arriving at Xuanming Palace, her name was Ximei.

"The servant has been serving Aunt Ning all the time, knowing that the princess doesn't like our Auntie, that's why she took this opportunity to kill Auntie." Xi Mei said angrily rather than panicked when she heard Ning Erlan's retort question.

"My lord, report back to my lord. There is a hunter outside the palace, who said that he has something to ask to see his lord." At this moment, a servant from the palace ran in to report.

Wei Lingxiao's already cold eyes were filled with dark clouds.

"Is the king's mansion also free for those mountain peasants to come in? Drive them away."

"But..." The boy frowned in embarrassment.

"But what?"

"But that person said that this matter is related to today's matter..."

"Since it's related to today's matter, let him come in. I also want to hear what he has to say." Before Wei Lingxiao could refuse again, Wei Ziming had already opened his mouth.

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Wei Lingxiao's eyes.

Not long after, the person who asked for an interview was brought up. He was a man in his 30s dressed as a hunter.

"Cao Min see the Second Prince, King Ling, and Princess Ling." After Orion came in and saw them, there was no change in expression on his face, but he knelt down directly to pay his respects.

Ning Erlan has been observing the changes in his expression, and after watching for a long time, she turns her gaze away slightly.

"Get up. Who are you, and you said you came here for today's event, how do you know what happened?" Wei Ziming asked.

"Caomin is a hunter on Guanyinmiao Mountain, called Li Er, who usually hunts on the mountain for a living. That day, Caomin went up to hunt as usual, but when he passed a small stream, he happened to see two women in upper clothes arguing. , Said the princess, sister, I was wrong, Cao Min didn't pay attention at the time, but when he turned around again, he saw one of them strangled the neck of the other with a rope, then threw the rope, and put that person Throw it into the creek..." Li Er spoke slowly, not even letting go of any details, even telling which hand he used to strangle Ning Shuangyu to death.

"At that time, Caomin was very scared. Although he had killed so many prey, he had never seen a dead person, so he ran back in fear. Later, he heard from the nun in the temple that the second prince's concubine died. Caomin felt that this matter was very serious. It’s serious, so I found this place after asking around.”

"Oh? That means you saw who killed Aunt Ning?" Wei Ziming looked at Ning Erlan meaningfully before saying slowly.

"Yes, yes..." Li Er raised his head and glanced at Ning Erlan, then replied in a low voice.

"At that time, Cao Min saw that both of them were wearing high-quality dresses. Later, they found out that Aunt Ning went with Princess Ling that day, so they came here today to verify. I didn't expect that the woman that day was actually Princess Ling!"

"Can you see clearly? Is the person you saw that day really Princess Ling? Although there are not many people who go to the Qiuzi Guanyin Temple to offer incense on weekdays, there are still some, maybe they are people from other houses? "Lin Yanyan had a look of disbelief, and even defended Ning Erlan.

"Grass people dare not speak nonsense."

Wei Ling's face became even more gloomy, and anyone could clearly feel the killing intent emanating from him.

"Do you know what kind of serious crime it is to slander the royal family?" Wei Lingxiao asked in a deep voice.

"Although Caomin is a villager, he knows that in Daqin, the law is respected. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Caomin would not have believed that Princess Ling would do such a thing."
