Chapter 458 Verification
Ji Gang was anxious: "Your Majesty, just relying on these zombies and corpse spots, you cannot overturn this case."
Yang Qiuchi said: "It's not just these two evidences, but there are other evidences." He pointed to the wounds on the body and said: "Prince, please see, these wounds are formed after death, and are caused after death. Only the wound in the back heart is caused before death."
Ming Chengzu went up and took a look for a while: "What's the difference?"
Yang Qiuchi said: "If these wounds were cut during death, the blood immersed in human tissues was closely linked to the tissue by the cellulose mesh, so it was not easy to wash off with water. On the contrary, if they were cut after death, it was easy to wash off."
Ming Chengzu didn't understand it very well, but after hearing Yang Qiuchi's words so magical, he turned around and ordered the eunuchs beside him to bring a basin of water.
Soon the water was brought. Yang Qiuchi pulled down the embroidered sword inserted on the body and washed all the wounds with water. Sure enough, only the blood red tissue in the wound in the back heart could not be washed away, while the other wounds were washed into a miserable white.
Ming Chengzu found it very interesting and observed the wounds one by one with interest.
Yang Qiuchi continued, "In addition to this criterion of judgment, there are other standards." He pointed to the wound in the back of his heart: "Prince, please look at this wound, which shows that it was a trembling shape during his lifetime, and other wounds did not, or were not so obvious."
Ming Chengzu looked at it in comparison and nodded.
Yang Qiuchi pointed to the wound in his back heart and said, "Prince, please take a closer look at the wound, there is a red and swollen area around the wound. This is an inflammation of the wound, and other wounds after death do not have it."
Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty fought countless times and knew that the wound was inflamed, red and swollen, but he was not sure whether the wound was red and swollen after death. After seeing this, he saw that it was true. He couldn't help but nodded again.
Seeing that Chengzu Ming nodded repeatedly, Ji Gang was a little anxious and said, "The wound in the back of his heart was also poked by Yun Lang."
Yang Qiuchi sneered: "The wound in the back heart pierced the heart, and the person must have died on the spot. Could it be that Yun was stunned four hours ago and stabbed his back heart. Two hours later, the corpse ran to Mianchun Tower to let Yun Lang continue to chop him? What's more, the wound in the back heart was stabbed by a double-edged sword, not a single-edged sword."
Ji Gang sneered: "What are you talking about? You are also stabbing it with a sharp blade of weapons. What's the difference?"
"Hehe, if you say you are fat, you will pant, if you say you are ignorant, you will runny nose immediately!" Yang Qiuchi sneered again. "You are ignorant, come and open your eyes wide. The two-edged sword in the back of the heart stabbed the wound on both sides, and the wound on the front chest stabbed with the tip of the embroidered Chundao is one blunt and one sharp, which means that one horn is bald!"
Ming Chengzu made a detailed comparison and nodded again. Ji Gang also came over to take a look. They fought on the battlefield and saw countless wounds. However, they had not carefully studied the differences between wounds formed by weapons. As the saying goes, the distance between them is like a mountain. After listening to Yang Qiuchi's analysis, he noticed that the two are indeed different.
Ji Gang said stubbornly: "This... these zombies, corpse spots, creepings during life and after death, different shapes of wounds, etc., aren't they all said by you alone? I've never heard anyone say it. Otherwise, let's ask for the offender. See if they know!"
For the different shapes of wounds, you should know that the offending action is because the "Killing" section in "Xi'an Lu" describes the wounds formed by common weapons, although they are not so detailed. However, there is no study on the time rules for the formation of corpse zombies and corpse spots, so they don't know. It's not easy to argue with him. It seems that Chengzu of Ming seems to believing but not believing, and it must be proved to them. The so-called facts are better than words. It is best to find a corpse and test it out.
Thinking of this, Yang Qiuchi said: "Emperor, everything that I said is true. If you don't believe it, you can find a death row prisoner for inspection and you can confirm it."
In addition to believing in the shape of the wound Yang Qiuchi said, Chengzu of Ming Dynasty was skeptical. After all, it was the first time he heard about it. Moreover, this matter was of great importance and it really needed to be tested. He said, "Okay, according to what Yang Aiqing said, find a death row prisoner for examination. Are there any death row prisoners in Yingtian Prefecture?"
Yang Qiuchi remembered the death row documents he had read in Yingtian Mansion during the day and said, "Yes, but he has not yet reported to the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple for verification."
“Is the evidence conclusive?”
Yang Qiuchi thought for a while and replied: "One of these death row prisoners was executed and killed by someone. He was caught on the spot by the murderer in the street in full view of everyone. Many pedestrians on the street witnessed him directly. I confessed and the evidence was conclusive. The other cases still need to be checked before the decision was made."
"Okay, then use this death row prisoner to test it. The execution will be carried out at noon tomorrow and will be carried out in front of the Ministry of Justice Prison. I will come to watch it in person." Ming Chengzu paused and said, "This case does not need to be reported to the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple. I will take the file directly to the execution ground at noon tomorrow. I will immediately approve it. In addition, give his family some burning silver."
Yang Qiuchi bowed and said, "I obey the order!"
Ji Gang sneered: "Mr. Yang, if the test does not match what you said, you are the crime of deceiving the king! Hehe."
Yang Qiuchi also sneered: "Without the diamond, I would not have taken this porcelain job! But you, Lord Ji, if the test matches it, you are also a crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"Where did I get the crime of deceiving the monarch?"
"You forged the scene and blame others, and turned black and white in front of the emperor, causing the emperor to almost kill the son of King Miao. What is it not to deceive the emperor?"
Yang Qiuchi said coldly, "Also, how did this corpse come from? Who was stabbed to death by the man? How could King Xiuchun, who was in a corpse? Who were those unknown thugs? I will find out one by one, and who knows who did it the most! The consequences should be clear!"
Ji Gangse said introvertedly: "One of the surname Yang, do you check me? I still want to check you! You..."
"Okay! What kind of person with Yang's surname Ji's surname is what kind of fortune do you do!" Ming Chengzu frowned and shouted, "You two are my important officials, and they are also in charge of the Jinyiwei for me. They still fight in the nest all day long! Let others laugh at me? I was just now working on my sword and gun outside the Meridian Gate of the Palace. What are you doing! Do you want to rebel?"
When Ji Gang and Yang Qiuchi heard that Chengzu Ming was angry, they bowed and dared not speak.
Ming Chengzu said with a gloomy face: "From now on, you two are not allowed to investigate each other again. I believe that neither of you will rebel or do things that violate the king's laws. Therefore, when I hear whoever of you will report the other's mistakes, I will not only ignore them, but also beat him a hundred sticks! Then I will send him to the Inspectorate for his crime of resisting the imperial edict! Do you understand?"
Ji Gang bowed and said, "I understand, I am obeying the order."
Yang Qiuchi thought for a while and said, "Emperor, I am investigating the murder of Governor Xue's concubine. I suspect Ji... Commander Ji is suspected of being a major criminal suspect..."
"Okay! Didn't you catch Lin Yuan the murderer? Just chop his head. As for whom it is, there is no need to investigate again! In the future, the laws and regulations of the Jinyiwei will be investigated, and you will only stop at Ji Aiqing below. Do you understand?"
Yang Qiuchi had no choice but to bow and said, "Yes, I understand, I am obeying?"
Ming Chengzu turned his head and said to Ji Gang: "Lovely, you remember it too. In the future, all the officials will stop Yang Aiqing. No matter what happens, they are not allowed to investigate and deal with Yang Aiqing's family or subordinates. Have you heard it clearly?"
Ji Gang quickly bowed and said, "I have heard it clearly. I have kept in mind the emperor's teachings."
Ming Chengzu glanced at the two of them and said coldly: "You dare to resist my orders and fight in the nest. First, touch your heads!" He shook his sleeves and turned around and left.
Both of them looked quite embarrassed, looked at each other, bowed their hands, and took them away.
It was already the fourth day after returning from the palace. Yang Qiuchi asked Nangong Xiong to take his men to Yingtian Prefecture's office to inform the prison to regulate and prepare for the death row prisoner's head meal. He was taken to the execution ground of the Ministry of Justice. He also prepared a sword and a rusty spring knife for inspection. At the same time, he notified the captain Zhan Zheng to take the court to guard the court.
Yun Leng escaped from death and was naturally grateful to Yang Qiuchi. Yun Lu was even more excited and pulled Yang Qiuchi and said and laughed. It was not until Yang Qiuchi said that he would get up early the next day to set up the execution ground and wanted to take a look that Yun Lu returned to her Princess's Mansion.
It happened to be Song Yuner who was on the bed. The two of them went to bed, but they couldn't sleep for a while. Song Yuner snuggled in Yang Qiuchi's arms and said, "Brother, the emperor will not let you check Ji Gang, what should I do?"
Yang Qiuchi said: "We still need to investigate, but we just need to investigate quietly. We cannot report directly to the emperor. That hundred court sticks are not a joke, and they also have the crime of resisting the order. We cannot take this risk. After finding out the facts, we can report them through other channels."
Song Yuner said happily: "Yes, anyway, we are all investigating facts, and we are not like him. We only know how to make up lies and lie."
Yang Qiuchi stroked her smooth skin and whispered: "Yun'er, brother can't sleep. It's almost dawn. I'm going to set up the execution ground at dawn. What are you doing at this time?"
Song Yuner laughed and said shyly: "You can do whatever you want!"
"Okay!" Yang Qiuchi turned over and pressed Song Yuner under him...
The next morning, Yang Qiuchi and Song Yuner hurriedly got up. Yunlu had already arrived early. Yang Qiuchi made Yun stunned. Yunlu waited at home, and rushed outside the Wumen Gate before the afternoon and took the inspection.
Then, Yang Qiuchi first came to the Nanzhen Fushi Office, called Madu and Niu Baihu, and ordered them to send people to search everywhere immediately to find out who the hundred people who attacked Yun Leng and the others that night were, and who the corpse was.
Ma Du and Niu Baihu already knew that Yun Leng was beaten by hundreds of unidentified people and was wrongly accused of murder. The Jinyiwei was beaten, and his face was so embarrassing. Ma Du and his two immediately mobilized all spies to inspect them everywhere.
Then, Yang Qiuchi brought Song Yuner and others to Yingtian Prefecture. Zhan Zheng reported that the court was ready, and the supervisor also reported that the prisoner's slaughtered rice had been eaten.
There was still some time before he could hear the death row prisoner, and re-examine the case. Without any doubts, he was relieved.
The prisoner's family also informed him that Yang Qiuchi ordered the yamen to burn silver for his family and let them meet for the last time.
After the time came, Yang Qiuchi went to the hall with red strokes and drew a red hook, and ordered him to be taken to the execution ground of the Ministry of Justice for execution. Then, he got into the official sedan chair and took Song Yuner and Nangong Xiong's guards to the execution ground of the Ministry of Justice.
Because the emperor was coming, the surroundings were covered with large inner guards.
Yang Qiuchi called the executioner over and told him how to execute the execution. The executioner heard that this time he did not cut his head but stabbed the back with a sword. Two hours later, he would have to cut a few more stabs on the body. He didn't know what the punishment was, so he was very surprised. However, he did not dare to ask randomly. The prefect commander to execute the execution must have a deep meaning.
After a while, Ji Gang and the guards also came. Of course, his nephew was lame, and he shook his head and looked behind Yang Qiuchi. He only saw Song Yuner with a sneer on his face, but did not see Liu Ruobing. He was very disappointed.
Ji Gang went to the prison slaying awning. When he saw Yang Qiuchi, he smiled and bowed, "Mr. Yang, it's early." The night before, Ming Chengzu had issued a strict order for the two to fight in the nest, otherwise according to the anti-order theory, Ji Gang became quick and he smiled and bowed, as if nothing had happened between him and Yang Qiuchi.
Yang Qiuchi is not good at this kind of face-changing technique. He just bows his hands and doesn't say anything.
Immediately afterwards, the second prince Zhu Gaoxu also came to the execution ground. It must have been Ji Gang's notice. After Zhu Gaoxu went to the prison penalties, he glanced at Yang Qiuchi and snorted in his nostrils. Yang Qiuchi just bowed his hand and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
At three o'clock, the emperor came to the execution ground in a golden canopy sedan chair and went to the prison and killed the awning. Yang Qiuchi presented all the files of the death row prisoner to Ming Chengzu.
Ming Chengzu looked very carefully. After reading it, nodded. The eunuch of the Siyin handed over the jade seal. Ming Chengzu stamped the seal on the nail seal (i.e. the execution order for the death penalty) and handed it to Yang Qiuchi. Yang Qiuchi took it and walked to the Taikou. He whispered: "The emperor has issued the nail seal document and executed at noon!"
When the noon arrived, the beheaded official of Yingtian Prefecture came to report. Yang Qiuchi picked up the token and threw it down on the stage, shouting: "I'll report it after the poke!"
People's prison sentences are "reported after the execution", but when they are now stabbed, it sounds a bit funny.
Yang Qiuchi had already told the executioner the location, angle and depth of the stabbing. After receiving the order, the executioner held the sword in one hand, walked behind the kneeling death row prisoner, screamed, raised his hand and stabbed the death row prisoner's heart with a sword.
After all, he was a full-time executioner, and he was very accurate in grasping it. The sword was as strong as the magnitude and weight of the sword, and the position was accurate. The death row prisoner just snorted and died.
Yang Qiuchi ordered the corpse to be lying flat, so that the location of the corpse spot would be the same as the corpse used by Ji Gang to frame Yun Leng's place, which is easy to compare.
Seeing that the execution was completed, Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty said to Yang Qiuchi: "I will go back to the palace first, and I will finish the attack in Shen, and send two corpses outside the Meridian Gate at Xu. I will check it out myself."
Yang Qiuchi bowed and said, "I obey the order!"
Chengzu of Ming Dynasty took off and returned to the palace. Ji Gang also left his nephew Ji Piao to supervise and went back. The second prince Zhu Gaoxu also left.
He had to wait for four hours on the execution ground, and there was nothing to do. Ji Piao limped over with a folding fan, and smiled and bowed to Yang Qiuchi: "Mr. Yang, why didn't the girl who came with the Marquis last night?"
Yang Qiuchi glanced at him and said lightly: "Young Master, why are you doing this?"
Ji Piao said: "After inquiring last night, I learned that the girl's surname is Liu, and she is the concubine of the Marquis. She just gave birth to a young master for the Marquis. Right?"
Yang Qiuchi snorted in his nostrils: "Young Master, just say it clearly."
Ji Piao slapped her twice, looked at Yang Qiuchi with a little embarrassed look, and whispered: "I love this Miss Liu at first sight, so... I want to ask you, Marquis... I don't know if Marquis is willing to give up Miss Liu, so I will give up Miss Liu as a concubine - don't worry, as long as you are willing to give up, even if you offer a sky-high price, I will never bargain!"
In ancient times, the status of concubines was not much stronger than that of maids. The so-called "concubines are all in business", so the concubines could buy and sell at will or even give them land. No wonder Ji Piao proposed to Yang Qiuchi to resell Liu Ruobing to him.
Yang Qiuchi smiled coldly and stared at Ji Piao and said, "For you, the concubine may be just a piece of clothing, a dog, or a horse. You can buy and sell it at will, but for me, it is the closest family member of my own sister. Will you sell your sister to money?"
Song Yuner also said coldly: "They're heartless in the Ji family, and it's unknown whether they will sell them!"
Yang Qiuchi nodded: "Only those heartless beasts can do this kind of thing, but I will not do it."
Ji Piaochang blushed and looked very embarrassed, and begged in a low voice: "Mr. Marquis, I really like Miss Liu very much. I also asked the Marquis to give up. If you don't need money, you can do anything else." After thinking for a while, gritted your teeth and said: "A few days ago, my uncle accepted five new beauties, from all over the country. Although he is not as good as Miss Liu, he is all beautiful and has a choice of places. My uncle and I will tell you, is it good to use these five to exchange Miss Liu with the Marquis...?"
With a snap, Yang Qiuchi slapped heavily on the table and looked at Ji Piao with a calm face: "Shut up! In the eyes of your Ji family, women are not humans but animals. Can they be exchanged for any exchange?"
Ji Piao was a little surprised: "This concubine, maid, is almost the same as a livestock..."
"Fuck! Are you a Ji family *** human or a beast?"
Ji Piao's face changed, but he had something to ask for, so he didn't dare to get angry. He still begged in a low voice: "Mr. Marquis, I really like Miss Liu, and I beg the Marquis to give up. If the Marquis doesn't like to exchange women, it's okay to use something else. As long as the Marquis offers conditions - even if the stars in the sky are asked, I will find a way to get it for you. My uncle had promised me last night and asked Miss Liu at all costs. So, as long as you can give conditions, we can do it - there is nothing in this world that my uncle can't do."
Before Yang Qiuchi could speak, Song Yuner sneered and said, "Okay, there is something you can get as long as you can get it, maybe you can marry my sister!"
Yang Qiuchi was slightly stunned: "Yun'er..."
Song Yuner waved her hand and told him not to care, and said to Ji Piao: "How is it?"
Ji Piao was overjoyed, stepped forward two steps, bowed and said, "Thank you, Miss, what do you want me to do? I will definitely do it!"
Chapter completed!
