Chapter 256, misleading autopsy

After introducing the basic situation of Concubine Ning's family, Feng Siyuan will not elaborate on other matters related to Concubine Ning.

When it comes to the people who live next to the Holy One, these officials are more cautious than the others, for fear of saying the wrong thing and offending others.

Therefore, the situation introduced by Feng Si Yu was very official. It was what Concubine Ning wanted others to know, and it was what the Holy Emperor allowed to be released.

Chen Yuan doesn't care either.

She is a prisoner, not a judge. She does not need to know the life of the victim or the deceased. She only needs to understand the autopsy.

They were all anxious to give their superiors an answer. After Feng Siyuan introduced the case, he asked Liao Zhizhong to take Chen Yuan directly to the Xiao family for an autopsy.

Concubine Ning has a special status. She wants to investigate her old case, reverse the case for her father, and find the real culprit who killed her family. The case is led by the magistrate, but she will not directly take charge of it herself. Naturally, she asked the magistrate of Purang County in the county where Concubine Ning was born to take charge.

At that time, if something goes wrong, the prefect can still find a way to evade it.

The unlucky magistrate of Purang County did not dare to carry the bones of Concubine Ning's family to Yizhuang.

Then he left this hot potato to the head of the Xiao family, a relative of Ning Fei's clan.

From then on, Chen Yuan traveled thousands of miles and changed cars many times, and finally saw the bones of Concubine Ning's family in the Xiao's Ancestral Hall.

Clan ancestral halls are generally places where the ancestors' spiritual tablets are placed. When a male heir is born in the clan, his name is written on red paper and then affixed to the pillars in the ancestral hall.

A large clan like the Xiao family has its own set of clan rules.

The ancestral hall is a sacred place. The Xiao family is not allowed to park coffins, women are not allowed to enter, and people with other surnames are not allowed to set foot there.

However, at this moment, the Xiao clan members could only swallow their anger under the power.

Although the clans in some places are powerful, even the local county government has to avoid their influence and dare not force them.

However, it is not the county government that wants to oppose the Xiao clan at this moment, but the emperor's concubine. This concubine is still a married woman of his own family. No matter how angry the Xiao clan is, they can only hold it in.

Four black coffins were neatly placed in the Xiao Ancestral Hall.

There is also a palace guard handle at the door.

A tender-faced little eunuch holding a Buddha dust stood arrogantly next to the coffin, looking at Chen Yuan critically with a pair of mung bean eyes.

"Liao Xingshu, why did you bring a female widow over here? Although the mountains and rivers in Lingnan are poor, there are still many outstanding people. If you bring a woman to deal with it, you don't take Concubine Ning's affairs seriously!"

Liao Zhizhong accompanied Xing carefully and strongly recommended, "Eunuch Wei, although Chen Wuzuo is a woman, she is not inferior to men. She has continuously invented a variety of crime-solving techniques, solved many major and strange cases, old cases, and even affected the human body.

The bones are so well understood that one can tell whether the woman had given birth to children just by looking at the pelvic bones of a woman's corpse. It's really miraculous!"

Superintendent Wei Wei held the imperial edict and was ordered to overturn the case. He only paid attention to the situation within the Xiao family and did not pay much attention to the criminal cases in other counties. "Liao Xingshu, you are boasting too much."

"Eunuch Wei, this is not a boast. The Weiyu County Government and the Suizhou Prefecture have each recruited hundreds of skeletons to verify that it is indeed as Chen Wuzuo said." Liao Zhizhong added, "The blood method is also the same as the bone drop method.

Overthrown by Chen Wuzuo."

Finally, Assistant Superintendent Wei looked at Chen Yuan, who was standing on one side with his hands tied, "It turns out to be you. It seems that you have some tricks, so the Za family will let you go in and have a look."

Chen Yuan, "Thank you Eunuch Wei for your trust!"

This was the case in ancient times. If she went to solve a case and clear someone's wrongdoing, she would have to thank others for giving her this opportunity...

However, only if Eunuch Wei came with the imperial edict, the Xiao family would allow the coffin to be opened for autopsy. Without Eunuch Wei, the magistrate of Purang County would not dare to come to the Xiao family to compose lyrics.

Ancient, magical times.

Eunuch Wei shook off the Buddha dust and took the lead in leading Chen Yuan, Liao Zhizhong, Bai County Lieutenant of Pulang County, Xiao Kun, the current Xiao clan leader, and Xiao Yi, the former clan leader who was Xiao Yingqiu's father, into the ancestral hall.

Although the Xiao family members were dissatisfied with Concubine Ning for causing unrest in the family, they were members of their own family and a noble in the palace, so they could only endure it. At this moment, they did not want Chen Yuan to enter their ancestral hall, but Eunuch Wei, who held the imperial edict, agreed.

They can only hold back again.

Eunuch Wei ordered people to lift the lids of the four black coffins.

Chen Yuan was not the first person to come to inspect the bones, so the nails on the coffin had long been removed.

When the coffin was opened, the bones inside had indeed turned into white bones.

"Chen Wuzuo, take a look." Eunuch Wei folded his hands and stood aside.

The other adults didn't say anything either, which was leaving the "battlefield" completely to her.

Chen Yuan put on a cowhide apron, mask, and gloves. Instead of getting started directly, she stepped forward and took a leisurely look around the four coffins.

At one glance, she saw the problem.

He turned to look at Xiao Kun, who had reached the age of destiny, "Mr. Xiao, I would like to ask, the bones in these four coffins were all buried alone, not together, right?"

Her question was strange, and everyone looked confused.

Xiao Yi didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, so he replied honestly, "One person, one coffin."

"Oh~" Chen Yuan shook his head pretending to be profound, "Mr. Xiao, can you tell me who the people in these four coffins are?"

"Can't you tell if a woman has given birth just by looking at her pelvis?"

Xiao Yi did not think that the people brought by Liao Zhizhong were in vain, but thought that Chen Wuzuo was mocking his daughter for having an affair before she left the court, so it was impossible to tell whether the pelvis had given birth.

He pointed at the coffin angrily and introduced them one by one, "The younger daughter Yingqiu has never given birth. Concubine Ning's biological mother Li has given birth to two sons. Xiao Bin is the youngest and has the smallest skeleton. Xiao Lezhang is a mature man and has the largest skeleton.

Why does Chen Wuzuo ask questions about the truth that ordinary people know?"

"Senior Xiao, please don't get excited, I have no other intentions."

Her explanation did not comfort Xiao Yi, only getting a cold snort.

Lieutenant Bai of Purang County looked at Chen Yuan suspiciously. Liao Zhizhong was very confident in her skills, but he didn't know what Chen Yuan was thinking and couldn't help.

Chen Yuan turned around and looked at Assistant Superintendent Wei.

On the way, Liao Zhizhong told her that Assistant Superintendent Wei was the eighth-grade eunuch of Changchun Palace headed by Concubine Ning, and was very favored by Concubine Ning.

These four coffins were dug out by him while watching people. He would not wait beside the four coffins all day. The coffins were guarded by the royal guards brought from the palace.

Before, Chen Yuan didn't understand why other works couldn't "autopsy". Chen Yuan didn't think that all ancient works could only follow pictures. Without ancient books, they wouldn't be able to identify the bones.

If you touch too many corpses, someone will figure out the obvious differences in the bones. These people will continue to make discoveries, and later generations can compile them into books.

Suizhou is such a big place, so she is not the first person to see the bones. The other people may really not have the skills, and some may not dare to say anything when they see the problem.

Because these four skeletons had been tampered with.

On the bones in Xiao Yingqiu's coffin was a male head.

The bones in Xiao Lezhang's coffin bear a female head.

Maybe other operators don't understand this, so they will conduct an autopsy according to the wrong guidance of the organizer, and they will only get wrong autopsy results.

------Digression-----

Cheng Zi never thought the ancients were stupid.

I am not denying the meaning of Song Ci's "The Record of Clearing Wrongs", but the errors in "The Record of Clearing Wrongs" exist objectively. After all, the technology in ancient times was not perfect, and there was no way to do big data statistics, so there would definitely be errors.
