These are all superstitious statements, and Lu Ziwan naturally doesn't know about them.
However, when the county magistrate heard what Magistrate Du said about opening the coffin and conducting an autopsy, the county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Ziyuan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this child really died of poisoning? Could it be?
This child drank the medicine and then ate something poisonous that killed him?
The yamen servant dug up the grave several times with a shovel. Since there was no coffin, the yamen servant moved very lightly. After shoveling nearly two cups of tea, the straw mat was exposed.
Even though there was no direct sunlight, the body that had been buried for so long still smelled so bad that Lu Ziwan vomited repeatedly.
"Daughter-in-law, please bear with me." Lian Guanlang felt very distressed when he heard Lu Ziyuan's voice that almost vomited out her internal organs.
Lu Ziyuan nodded, and before she could speak, she hurriedly ran towards the back and vomited violently. The smell was even more unacceptable than the rancid smell in the cell.
Lian Guanlang took a few steps over to support Lu Ziyuan with one hand, and patted her gently on the back with the other. His beautiful eyebrows were almost twisted into a ball.
Not to mention Lu Ziyuan, a woman, even those men pinched their noses and looked unhappy.
When the peasant woman saw her child being pulled out with the straw mat attached, she burst into tears and almost fainted from crying, as if she had experienced the pain of losing a child.
Wuzuo pinched his nose, then asked the yamen servant to spread out the straw mat, then walked towards the body with a tight frown, looked at the child's hands and head, and then took out three long silver needles
, stabbing the child's throat, mouth, and stomach respectively. When the peasant woman saw that the child was already dead and had to be turned out to suffer this punishment, she immediately cried and fainted.
After about an hour of burning incense, the widower pulled out the three silver needles again, and then asked the yamen servant to bury the child again.
"My lord, after a minor inspection, it is certain that the child did not die of poisoning." He replied with a bow.
"Impossible, that silver needle you just turned black!" The county magistrate waved his hand anxiously.
"Three silver needles were pierced into the mouth, throat, and stomach of the deceased, but only the silver needle at the mouth turned black. Obviously, poison was poured into the mouth of the deceased after he died. However, death will not
When swallowing, things cannot enter the stomach. Although there is some flow into the throat, it is not much, so the silver needle in the mouth must not have changed much." Wu Zuo looked at the county magistrate with disdain, "Generally, people die from poisoning before death.
Most people's nails will turn black or purple to a greater or lesser extent, but the color of the deceased's nails is normal. Furthermore, I just touched the deceased's head and found that there were signs of cracks on the head. I guessed that this child must have had a head injury.
Death was caused by heavy trauma to the rear."
"Since the deceased did not die from poisoning but from trauma caused by a heavy object, then Dr. Lu and Lin Zhong will be acquitted!" Magistrate Du looked at the county magistrate, "Master Li, anyone who has a little bit of grievance in this case can't
It can be seen that as a parent official, you actually decided the case like this!"
When the peasant woman fainted and woke up, she happened to hear Zuo Zuo say that the child had been given poison again after his death. She immediately rushed towards the county magistrate, grabbed the county magistrate's arm and bit her, "You actually took advantage of this.
I don’t know, but I fed my dead child poison! Son, it’s my mother who is sorry for you, it’s my mother who was obsessed with listening to the words of this county magistrate and made trouble for your death, it’s my mother who caused you to die in peace!”
The peasant woman was suddenly thrown away by the county magistrate, and ran towards Lu Ziyuan. She knelt down towards Lu Ziyuan with a plop, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry for you. My child was indeed not poisoned to death by the medicine from your medical clinic that day.
, when I prepared the medicine and was about to ask the child to drink it, the child happened to be asleep. I thought that if the child finally fell asleep, I would stop disturbing him, so I put the medicine in the kitchen and went to the river first.
I was carrying water to water the ground, thinking that I would let the child drink after he woke up. Unexpectedly, when I got home, the child was dead in the corner of the yard, with a hoe on his head.
