The first daughter is poisonous, the lord goes to bed obediently

Chapter 159 Autopsy, spoiling concubines and destroying wives

After Emperor Changde gave the order, someone went to ask Wu to come over.

The most famous Wuzuo in the city is Qin Wuzuo, and because Qin Wuzuo is too famous, Zhao Chu suggested that it may be unfair due to certain relationships and needs to be reconsidered.

People who often deal with Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice recalled the work of Jin Ling when they first arrived in Jinling City.

So, those who were sent out went to ask Jin Wu to do it.

Everyone looked at Mrs. Zhao's coffin timidly, and looked at Feng Xihe suspiciously, not even daring to take a breath.After Wu's autopsy, the mage had to be asked to set a time for the burial. It seemed that the funeral would have to be postponed for a few days.

Zhao Chu looked at Gu Shiyin and kept Feng Xihe protected, and couldn't help saying: "After the truth is revealed, I hope the prince can deal with it fairly, and it's better not to defend yourself."

"What if this king insists on protecting his weaknesses?" Gu Shiyin's phoenix eyes were provocative. In a word, people can't help but think that Feng Xihe is indeed related to Mrs. Zhao's death.

Feng Xihe was pulled behind him and looked at him with some puzzlement.

Zhao Chu couldn't answer for a moment, Gu Shiyin added: "Don't worry, the dead are respected, this king will not bully others, and will definitely cooperate with Zhao Xiaohou, in the face of the truth, severely punish the murderer, and never favoritism!"

Obtaining his promise, Zhao Chu turned his face away and said no more.

Feng Xihe couldn't help but start to sympathize with Zhao Chu. Didn't he know that there was a contradictory statement on Gu Shiyin's side.

After a long time, Jin Wuzuo rushed to Zhao's house with a dignified expression in the wind and snow. He didn't even have time to drink a cup of hot tea. Beside the coffin, waiting for the autopsy.

The coffin lid was suddenly lifted and placed aside, causing a cloud of dust to fly in the air.

Mrs. Zhao's body was removed and put on a stretcher.

However, the moment they saw Mrs. Zhao's remains, everyone sighed.

I saw Mrs. Zhao's ferocious face, it can be seen that her death was not peaceful.

She was as thin as skin and bones, with little flesh on her face.

It is impossible for a good person to become like this all of a sudden.Anyone who reads it knows that she must have been abused during her lifetime.

Zhao Chu's eyes froze. During this time, he was inconvenient to go out because of the severe poison in his body. He only met Mrs. Zhao a few months ago.

After Mrs. Zhao passed away, he wanted to induce Aunt He to bury Mrs. Zhao early, so as to leave a clue for others, but he didn't see Mrs. Zhao's remains. He didn't expect that it would be like this.

After seeing it, Mrs. Xiao was furious, and asked Zhao Wuya: "This old man entrusted my daughter to you, and that's how you take care of her!"

He felt more and more that Mrs. Zhao might have died at the hands of others.

Zhao Wuya was speechless, looked at Aunt He angrily, and reprimanded in a low voice: "How do you usually take care of Da Furen?"

Even if he hated Mrs. Zhao, she was his first wife after all. It was a big blow to him and the whole Zhao family to let people know that he treated his first wife harshly.

Besides, today, Emperor Changde and Prince Yu were also present.

Aunt He secretly tugged at the hem of his clothes, sobbing in a low voice: "Master, you have to believe me, I have been serving Da Furen for so many years, and my loyalty to her is evident. But recently, I have been busy taking care of all the things in the backyard. I seldom go to see Da Furen, so I only find time to see her in my busy schedule."

"However, you also know that since you handed over the power of the house to me and let the lady recover from her illness, the lady has misunderstood me. Every time I go to see her, she will ask someone to drive me out. I can't see her, so I can only send medicines and supplements through the maid, but every time, she will throw her out."

"As for the rest, I really don't know anything."

Zhao Wuya knew what Aunt He said. At that time, Mrs. Zhao rushed over and made trouble with him.

He couldn't help suspecting that Mrs. Zhao was holding a grudge against him, and deliberately made herself like this, in order to let Mrs. Xiao see it one day, but she didn't want her life to be too short.

Seeing that Zhao Wuya didn't answer, Mrs. Xiao assumed that Zhao Wuya had acquiesced, and urged Jin Wu to do an autopsy.

Jin Wu turned his head and said to Emperor Changde: "Your Majesty, since ordinary people will feel fear when they see the autopsy process, this servant is afraid that His Majesty will be frightened, so I beg Your Majesty to move out of the hall first."

"All go out with me." Emperor Changde frowned, raised his hand slightly, and led the crowd to the nearby Nuan Pavilion to rest for a while, leaving Jin Wu alone in the mourning hall for an autopsy.

The doors and windows were all open, and there were guards standing outside, so there was no need to worry that anyone would tamper with it during the autopsy.

Not long after, the guards came to report that the work of Jin Wu had finished the body inspection, and Emperor Changde returned to the mourning hall with everyone.

Feng Xihe looked around and saw a white cloth in front of a small table temporarily placed in front of Jin Wuzuo, with a pair of tweezers and some black powder on it, the powder had condensed into lumps.

It was taken out of Mrs. Zhao's throat by Jin Wuzuo.

A trace of doubt flashed in Zhao Chu's eyes, and he asked, "Jin Wuzuo, what exactly did Benhou's mother die for?"

"Today, His Majesty and Prince Yu are both here. No one dares to threaten you. You can tell the truth."

Jin Wuzuo and Zhao Chu looked at each other, took a deep breath, and then said, "It's lead poisoning. Someone melted lead into the water and let Mrs. Zhao drink it. A little lead stuck to Mrs. Zhao's throat." In the wall, the servant just took out the remaining lead powder."

Zhao Chu was overjoyed, glanced at Feng Xihe, and asked, "When did you take it?"

Jin Wuzuo's eyes flickered, and he swallowed, as if hesitating.

Emperor Changde said impatiently: "Just say what you want."

"Accumulate over time." Jin Wu said: "Lead is no more poisonous than crane top red, and it can be fatal immediately after ingestion. The servant guessed that the person who did it probably added lead to the water Mrs. Zhao drank every day. powder, causing Mrs. Zhao to be chronically poisoned."

"Mrs. Zhao's lungs were expanding outwards. Presumably, before she died, she suffered from strong stimulation and lead poisoning, which made her die suddenly."

Hearing this, everyone's hearts shuddered. The person who could put lead powder in Mrs. Zhao's tea without anyone noticing for a long time was probably the person closest to Mrs. Zhao.

They immediately turned their probing eyes to Zhao Wuya and the Zhao family's children.

Old Master Xiao's gaze staring at Zhao Wuya became sharper in an instant.

Feng Xihe pursed his lips and watched quietly.

Zhao Chu's heart tightened, and he continued to ask: "Jin Wuzuo, besides this, is there anything else unusual about my mother's body?"

"Yes." Jin Wuzuo's words gave Zhao Chu hope, but, in an instant, the hope was wiped out immediately.

Jin Wuzuo put a porcelain cup on the small table, pointed to it and said, "In Mrs. Zhao's gastric juice, the servant discovered the ingredients of crow and rhinoceros horn."

After Feng Xihe heard this, he smiled and said, "Didn't Mrs. Zhao stay sick in bed for a few months before she died. If Mrs. Zhao's medicine contained one of them, after adding the other one, the sickness would disappear." Of course it won't get better, no wonder a little wind and cold can make her sick for so long."

Old Mrs. Xiao gave a loud shout, "Who has taken over the medicine used by Da Furen?"

The servants of the Zhao family looked at Zhao Wuya in unison, and remembered that in order to show his deep affection for Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Wuya often personally followed the doctor who was seeing Mrs. Zhao to fetch medicine.Although, Zhao Wuya has never stepped into Mrs. Zhao's room.

Looking at the eyes of the servants, Mrs. Xiao understood clearly, and pointed at Zhao Wuya's fingertips trembling slightly.

Cold sweat was dripping on Zhao Wuya's forehead, he remembered that on weekdays, Aunt He took care of the back house, so Madam Zhao's medicines were naturally under her control.

"Tell me, did you add rhinoceros horn when you decocted the medicine for Da Furen?"

Aunt He immediately grabbed his hand, and said aggrievedly: "Master, don't you believe me? I made the medicine. If I tampered with it, wouldn't I be found out?"

Zhao Wuya thought so too, but then who murdered Mrs. Zhao and then framed him?

"Master Hou, I think there is something wrong." Aunt He leaned closer, pressed his ear, and said cautiously: "Today's incident happened suddenly, you and I didn't know it in advance, and all the evidence points to You and I, don't you find it too unbelievable?"

She guided slowly, did not say clearly, but in Zhao Wuya's ears, every word was heartbreaking.

His mind gradually wandered around Zhao Chu, Zhao Guifei and the others, gradually filled with haze, and he felt different.

"Marquis Zhao!" Seeing Zhao Wuya still flirting with the aunt in the mansion at this time, Old Master Xiao couldn't help but get angry. He strode forward, lifted his robe and knelt down, "Your Majesty, Marquis of Wu'an, Zhao Wuya's pet A concubine murdering a wife, or even deliberately killing a wife, is really ashamed of the emperor's grace for many years."

"I implore Your Majesty to punish Zhao Wuya severely, so that the little girl can rest in peace under the Nine Springs."

"Grandpa, don't be in a hurry to accuse father." Zhao Chu didn't expect that all the evidence would point to Zhao Wuya. After thinking about it, he said to Emperor Changde: "Your Majesty, father and mother have always treated each other like guests. How could that be?" Don't know the seriousness, kill your wife at will?"

"Wei Chen believes that this matter is of great importance, and should be handed over to Dali Temple for a thorough investigation and wait for a while."

Seeing Zhao Chu pleading for him, Zhao Wuya couldn't help but feel ashamed, regretting why he doubted his own son.

Suddenly, the guards guarding outside the mourning hall hurried over, "Your Majesty, the lowly rank and others caught a sneaky man outside the gate of the Hou Mansion. This man claimed to be the shopkeeper of the coffin shop in the south of the city, and he wanted to see Lord Zhao Xiaohou. "

The suspicion in Emperor Changde's eyes was even heavier, "Bring it up."

"Caomin didn't know His Majesty was here today, so I beg Your Majesty to forgive me." After entering the mourning hall, the manager of the coffin shop shook his shoulders in a panic.

"What do you need to come secretly?"

The shopkeeper of the coffin shop looked at Zhao Chu, lowered his head timidly and said, "Caomin is not sneaky, but, a few days ago, the young master asked Caomin to make a special coffin. Caomin was worried that the people who came to help the spirit could not carry it. , That's why I came here to ask him if he needs help."

"And the little lord told him not to let others know when he was looking for him, so Cao Min had no choice but to come in through the back door."
