When Mu Shiguang saw a figure shaped like a white cocoon lying in the copper coffin, he couldn't help but think that there were such records in the book: In the third year of Kaibao's founding, there used to be a pair of Yao brothers in Bianliang, Tokyo.
The poor eldest brother works hard outside all year round, and there is still a wife at home, Youshi, who takes care of his younger brother.
But as time went by, rumors began to spread, and there were all kinds of things, but none of them were pleasant to the ears. When the eldest son of the Yao family returned to Tokyo a few years later, he died mysteriously after staying at home for a day. The condition of his death was
It was quite terrifying. Anyone with a clear eye could tell at a glance that he had been poisoned to death. On the day of the funeral, some evildoers reported the death of the eldest brother of the Yao family to the officials. The magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture was a man who had just taken office.
After receiving the case, he took the yamen servant Wu Zuo to the Yao family. Wu Zuo verified on the spot that the eldest brother of the Yao family had indeed been poisoned to death. This was incredible. The second brother of the Yao family and You Shi were all killed together with the dead body of the eldest brother of the Yao family.
He was escorted back to Kaifeng Mansion Yamen.
After a court review, it was found that the eldest son of the Yao family was well behaved when he arrived home. He had not gone out during this period, and all the food he ate was prepared by You's family. However, three people eating in one pot poisoned the eldest son of the Yao family to death...
When the county magistrate investigated the case, it was too simple. The second brother of the Yao family wanted to be a long-term couple with You, so he poisoned the elder of the Yao family. In court, the You family was asked to plead guilty and confess. You family just refused.
After not pleading guilty, the yamen ordered the yamen to slap You with twenty slaps. After receiving the order, the yamen couldn't help but say that they would beat You if she held down her skirt. At that time, women only had two pieces of clothing in their long skirts.
She wore shin pants that covered her knees to her feet. The pain of being spanked on her bare buttocks was the second most painful thing. The shy and aggrieved feeling was the most unbearable. Before the spanking was finished, Youshi had already bitten her tongue and committed suicide...
When the bookworm saw that You committed suicide, he even thought that he died out of fear of crime. He recognized the reason for his death and then interrogated the second brother of the Yao family. Unexpectedly, the second brother of the Yao family saw that his cousin's brother and sister-in-law had become dead bodies, so he said nothing and said nothing.
He cut off his finger and wrote four sentences with blood on the lobby: "The eldest brother is like father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like mother. A stupid dog official is looking down on human life!" After writing the words, he hit his head on the stone beam of the court and died, standing on both sides.
The yamen officials were shocked, the county magistrate in the hall was shocked, and the idlers watching the excitement outside the yamen were also shocked...
The Yao brothers and Youshi were all dead, and the case was considered closed. However, we never expected that from then on in Bianliang, we could hear the sound of women crying and complaining of injustice every night, and some even saw women with their mouths bleeding.
You Shi dragged his severed tongue around Bianliang in Tokyo. Within ten days and a half, the whole of Tokyo was in a state of turmoil, and the people were in panic all day long...
This incident finally alarmed one person, Zhao Pu, the founding prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Pu was known as the famous prime minister who ruled the world with half of the Analects. When he learned about it, he immediately checked the files of the Yao brothers. After a search, he discovered the suspicion. If that
The second brother of the Yao family had an affair with the You family and was poisoned to death. Didn't the boss of the Yao family do something stupid to let fools know that he wanted to join the gang? Zhao Pu repeatedly sent people to inquire whether the second brother of the Yao family and the You family had an affair.
It's just that some people are jealous of You's beauty, and they make baseless conjectures without any evidence.
That night, Zhao Pu reported the matter to Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. Before Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was a man in the market, drinking and fighting were common. However, Zhao Kuangyin was a straight-tempered person who did not want to see the people being wronged.
Long Yan was furious at Zhao Pu's words. Jinkou asked Zhao Pu to investigate the matter thoroughly. After receiving the order, Zhao Pu dug up the bodies of the two Yao brothers and Youshi from the ground. What surprised Zhao Pu was that he dug up Youshi's body.
Behind the tomb, the You family was actually covered in white silk. People around Zhao Pu were shocked when they saw it, and Wu Zuo told Zhao Pu that it was the result of the injustice after the death of a person who died unjustly. This woman must have a great injustice.
Zhao Pu set up a three-foot-long pavilion on the spot and asked the widowers to disembowel themselves and find out what kind of poison the boss of the Yao family had been poisoned to death. All the best widowers in Kaifeng Mansion were recruited into the pavilion by Zhao Pu, and the people in Tokyo were all
Knowing that the prime minister of the current dynasty came to investigate the case in person, people were standing outside the pergola. Wu Zuo cut open the belly of the eldest son of the Yao family, and there was still undigested food in his stomach. But they were just ordinary meals, and there was no
I found traces of poison burning in the stomach. I inserted a silver needle into the abdominal cavity and the silver needle immediately turned black...
This is strange. In the novel, there is an old man with a white beard and eyebrows. He lowered his head and turned over the abdominal cavity and intestines of the Yao family boss a few times, knelt down and said loudly: "Report to the Prime Minister, I have found the cause of death."
"Oh? Who are you? Tell me how this man died?" Zhao Pu asked in the shed, enduring the stench of the dead body.
The old man kowtowed and said: "Reporting to your lord, my surname is Gong, my name is Tian Yang, and I am the co-worker of the Dali Temple's Department of Punishment. According to my inspection, this person died of poisoning after eating chicken. Please advise me."
"What? Poisoned to death for eating chicken? Gong Tianyang, do you know that this case has already alarmed Long Live. If you dare to talk nonsense, you will be beheaded for the crime of deceiving the emperor!" Zhao Pu was tricked by the old man!
With three points of sullenness, eating chicken will poison people? In the face of thousands of Tokyo people, isn't this child's play? The words have become more serious, which means that anyone who prevaricates and fools today will definitely be severely punished.
.
Not only was Gong Tianyang unafraid, he stood up and said to the white, sticky substance in the Yao family boss's stomach: "Your Excellency, Gong Tianyang has been working for thirty-five years before he dares to do this.
Assert. If the Prime Minister does not believe it, I will cut open the abdominal cavities of the other two people right now. These three people died only a few hours apart. If they also have this undigested chicken in their stomachs, I am willing to rely on it.
The prime minister is in disgrace!"
At this point, Zhao Pu was also forced to die. Zhao Pu stroked his beard and thought for a moment and said: "Okay, it's settled. If as you said, this man ate chicken and was poisoned to death, then
I will give you the first victory in solving the case. But if you want to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, I tell you, I will never tolerate adultery. Come on, they will cut open the abdominal cavities of the other two people for me." In the pergola.
When Wu Zuo heard what the prime minister said, he secretly broke into a cold sweat because of Gong Tianyang...
Wu Zuo cut open the abdominal cavities of Youshi and the second brother of the Yao family at the same time. There were only some vegetable leaves and rice residue inside but no chicken. Zhao Pu slapped his thigh and said in surprise: "Gong Tianyang, how do you know there is no chicken in their belly? Then
How can chicken poison people to death? Please explain this to me clearly."
Gong Tianyang knelt down and said in a deep voice: "I didn't know that I was just guessing. I saw that one of the Yao family's second brother and You Shi was mortally wounded and committed suicide by cutting off his tongue, and the other died by breaking his skull. Looking at the skinny bones on their bodies, I must have
It was difficult to eat, and when I opened the abdominal cavity of the eldest son of the Yao family, I found chicken. I already understood that You and the second brother of the Yao family must have given the old hens that they had raised at home for a long time to Yao, who had been out working for a long time.
The eldest brother is being pawned for food. But Youshi doesn’t know that hens have been competing with arsenic for many years. Youshi and the Yao brothers saved chickens for the eldest brother of the Yao family to eat, but they harmed him!"
Zhao Pu was stunned by Gong Tianyang's words and shouted: "Where is the land security guard? Come out and answer the question!" The people in Tokyo had already rushed to report the prime minister's case, and not long after he arrived, the voice came back from outside the crowd.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, Liu Fafa, the local security guard of Wudinghu in Bianliang, has met the Prime Minister." The crowd immediately separated a path for the speaker to come forward. The person who came walked out of the pergola and knelt down on the ground. He replied:
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what this official said is right. That Youshi did indeed make a living by raising eggs from domestic chickens and selling them for money. After Youshi's accident, the chickens were still in the village looking for food and returning to their coops. Little man
Now you can go and catch those chickens for the Prime Minister."
Zhao Pu nodded and said: "That's very good, come here. Follow the land security guards and bring all the chickens. I want to verify them in court!" Several soldiers from the Song Army came out and pulled the land security guards to rush to catch the chickens.
An hour later, the soldiers came to the pergola with the chickens. Zhao Pu ordered to feed the dog to test the poison on the spot. After the dog ate the chicken, its limbs twitched and its nose and mouth bleeded and fell to the ground dead within less than a cup of tea...
The case was found out. You didn’t know that the old hen, which had been eating wild animals and weeds for many years, had hidden poison in the chicken head. He killed the chicken for the boss of the Yao family out of good intentions, but it actually harmed him. Prime Minister Zhao Pu personally pardoned You.
Sin. The white silk on You's body immediately disintegrated, and there was no more crying at night. This is the famous injustice case in the Northern Song Dynasty...
When Mu Shiguang was staring at the corpse in the copper coffin, he suddenly saw that the belly of the dead man in the copper coffin seemed to be squirming...
"Hong...Uncle Hong...Uncle Hong, wake up quickly...the dead...the dead are moving..." Mu Shiguang shook Hong Chendong violently and shouted incoherently.
After Hong Chendong woke up, he also saw the corpse in the copper coffin. The belly of the dead man was slowly bulging out like a cake. The white cocoon on the dead man's body was quickly thinning after seeing the wind. Hong Chendong exclaimed in shock: "It's really... Li Shuang'er,
This woman is really Li Shuang'er. I know her, there is no mistake." The white silk on the woman's face has become as pale as tissue paper, revealing a ferocious face. A pair of eyes are sunken deeply into the eye sockets, and the facial features do not look like a living person.
Instead, it was curled up into a ball. Because of the wrinkles in the skin, the lips showed two rows of teeth. Suddenly, Li Shuang'er's eyes opened wide, and her cloudy eyeballs stared at Hong Chendong. Hong Chendong screamed in shock and hurriedly backed away.
step.
Mu Shiguang was also stunned by Li Shuang'er, and stammered in a trembling voice: "Li...Miss Li...I know you have grievances, but...but we are all good people..."
Li Shuang'er in the copper coffin turned her eyes toward Mu Shiguang, and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't. She could only make a sound of "咴儿... 咴儿...", and Mu Shiguang didn't dare to approach no matter how bold he was.
Listen, hold the iron hoe tightly and look at Li Shuang'er in the copper coffin...
Li Shuang'er's skinny hands emerged from the white cocoon, stretched out straight towards the sky, and drew five pointed fingers towards her expanding belly. "Peng" jumped up with the sound of her belly opening.
A cloud of blood mist splashed on the inner wall of the copper coffin, causing bursts of black smoke. After the black smoke, Li Shuang'er in the copper coffin turned into a pool of blood, and in the blood, there was a baby girl lying on her back...
