Tao Ying and Deacon Meng both fell into silence.
Yang Fan and Sun Rong also looked at each other and did not dare to say a word.
If someone really killed Concubine Hui for this, the case would probably be even more difficult.
After all, those who dare to kill Concubine Hui are by no means an ordinary person. They may even be concubines who have been in the palace for many years. They have already given birth to princes or princesses, and they even hope that one day their mothers will be more valuable than their children! ??
In the inner courtyard of the deep palace, there is a tradition of seizing the heir, and the threat of latecomers is constantly eliminated, and a certain tacit understanding has even been formed.
At this time, there were footsteps outside, and a group of deacons entered one after another.
The last person to step in was Cao Qingyuan. His eyes narrowed and fell on Deacon Meng's face: "Were you in charge here in the first place?"
Deacon Meng quickly stepped forward, saluted and said, "Yes."
"How is the situation now?"
"The widow arranged by the clan is conducting an autopsy."
Deacon Meng answered respectfully, even though he belonged directly to Zheng Weinian and Cao Qingyuan was not his chief officer, he did not dare to be careless under the strict rules and hierarchy gap of Dongchang.
"The clan's mansion?"
Unexpectedly, Cao Qingyuan frowned fiercely and said displeasedly, "Why don't we use our own people? The matter is very important. If there are deviations in the autopsy, will you be responsible?"
After that, he glanced at Deacon Meng coldly and walked straight into the inner hall.
"Ah, sir, please stay away..."
Bang bang!
The body of Concubine Li Hui is temporarily parked in the inner hall, and two widowers are conducting an autopsy.
When they saw Cao Qingyuan coming in, they immediately wanted to stop him, but who knew that Cao Qingyuan kicked him hard in the chest, causing him to vomit blood and fall to the ground, unable to sustain serious injuries.
The deacons outside stood still and did not dare to move.
Since it was an autopsy, one can imagine the state of Concubine Li Hui's body at this moment. Even as eunuchs, they still had to avoid suspicion. Otherwise, the charge of desecrating Concubine Hui's body would be enough to make them bear it. "Take these two gangsters down and interrogate them strictly to see if they have done anything to the body!"
Cao Qingyuan's cold voice came from the inner hall.
Several deacons looked at each other, looked around in a circle, and suddenly saw two young eunuchs following Tao Ying, and they all looked over in unison.
Yang Fan and Sun Rong were so stunned by the sight of these old eunuchs that their scalps were numb, their whole bodies were getting cold, and their hearts were pounding.
"If you don't want to go in, don't let us go either!"
The two of them wailed in their hearts.
However, the two of them did not escape after all.
Even Tao Ying remained silent. After all, if he spoke to stop him, he would offend the other deacons, and Cao Qingyuan might also be penalized.
Yang Fan glanced at Sun Rong, took the lead and walked in bravely.
Sun Rong followed behind with cold hands and feet, his head lowered, and he just followed Yang Fan's footsteps.
Entering the inner hall, the temperature was slightly cold.
As soon as Yang Fan came in, he noticed from the corner of his eye the body of Concubine Li Hui, which was hidden by the gauze curtain. At this time, she had been stripped of her clothes and was not wearing any silken clothes.
Cao Qingyuan stood next to her body and inspected it personally.
The two injured female widows vomited blood from their mouths and fell to the ground outside the gauze tent, unconscious. There was still fear and a hint of resentment on their faces.
Cao Qingyuan was looking at his own inspection and said without raising his head: "Leave one person to take notes and the other to take them down."
"yes."
Sun Rong suddenly became energetic and responded quickly. He grabbed a female widow with one hand and carried it out, disappearing as if running for his life.
Yang Fan was furious when he saw this.
You little Rongzi, I never thought that a guy like you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could be such a thief!
There was no other way, so Yang Fan had no choice but to walk behind the gauze tent. Li Huifei's body was very close at hand, but the person who was alive yesterday was now cold and stiff.
He glanced around and found paper and pen next to the body.
Obviously, this was brought by the female widowers just now.
"Our family said, you remember."
Cao Qingyuan's voice sounded, and Yang Fan quickly grabbed the brush and listened attentively to what the other party said.
"Time of death, around midnight."
"There is a wound on the tip of the index finger of the left hand. It is judged to be a knife wound. It is suspected that the deceased scratched it with a dagger. The purpose is unknown."
"There was a transverse wound on the lower abdomen of the deceased, about half a foot long, with smooth edges. It was suspected of being scratched by an unknown sharp object, and the purpose was unknown."
"The internal organs in the lower abdomen were seriously damaged and it was suspected that they were crushed by someone's hands for unknown purposes..."
"The cause of death was a massive collapse of Qi and blood, and the internal organs were destroyed and he died."
Yang Fan's records are shocking just by looking at them.
Thinking of Deacon Meng's judgment just outside, he couldn't help but feel awe-struck.
Is it possible that when Li Huifei said she experienced a miscarriage, she was not proactive but passive?
Could it be that the purpose of the murderer was to take away the fetus in such a cruel way and even kill Concubine Li Hui?
Not long after, Cao Qingyuan completed the autopsy.
Yang Fan anxiously handed over the autopsy record in his hand. Cao Qingyuan looked through it and put it in his sleeve: "You put clothes on the body."
After that, he stepped out.
Not silenced.
Yang Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the other party has no intention of concealing the autopsy record, or that Cao Qingyuan did not judge it because of his age. of tenderness?
No matter what, Yang Fan felt that he had saved his life. He looked at Concubine Li Hui, who was already stiff and cold, and silently put on clothes for her.
"well."
What a beautiful woman in her prime, yet she died in such a beautiful way.
When he came out, only Deacon Meng and Tao Ying were left here, as well as Sun Rong who was huddled in the back, lowering his head and not daring to look at Yang Fan.
Just when Tao Ying was about to take people away, Deacon Meng suddenly said: "Our judgment just now is just casual speculation and cannot be taken seriously. Deacon Tao will listen to it for now, and please don't spread it outside."
"Our family can save it."
Tao Ying nodded and glanced at Yang Fan and Sun Rong.
The two of them were awestruck: "We didn't hear anything just now."
"Ah That's good."
Deacon Meng nodded, but took a few more glances at the faces of Yang Fan and Sun Rong, and seemed to memorize their appearance.
It seems to be a warning and a reminder.
This made Yang Fan and Sun Rong feel inexplicably uneasy.
In broad daylight, they all felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet.
The three of them left Tianqing Palace.
Tao Ying exhaled a breath and said calmly: "You two, remember, it's best for our family to lose everything today, otherwise, even our family won't be able to protect you."
"yes."
Yang Fan and Sun Rong responded quickly.
Tao Ying walked forward in silence. After reading the autopsy records made by Cao Qingyuan, combined with Deacon Meng's initial judgment, he naturally had a guess similar to Yang Fan's.
It would be fine if Concubine Li Hui simply died, but the fetus in her belly was also lost. This is the real big deal!
Something really big enough to kill someone.
"The rain is coming!"
Tao Ying felt a strong sense of worry in her heart.
