595 More injuries
It was almost dark when they arrived at the prefecture.
Mrs. Li had sent someone to wait for them at the city gate.
He first went to the Li residence.
When Xue Qianyu saw them, he said, ā āIāve already asked official su. The coronerās report from this morning said that Madam Xu Fangās cause of death was a heavy object hitting the back of her head. Xu Changfeng and the Xu family coachman both said that it was aunt Lian who hit Madam Xu Fangshiās head to the ground and itās bleeding non-stop.ā
āWhat did second uncle and aunt Lian say?ā
āAuntie Lian said no,ā Xue Qianyu replied. She had only slapped her, but because Xu Fangshi had hit her with her head, aunt Lian had kicked her in the head. Aunt Lianās kick did not hit the back of his head.ā
āThen what about Lord su?ā Gu Nian asked.
Xue Qianyu shook his head. neither side has any other witnesses. Official su had to put it aside. However, Xu Changfeng had contacted the students of his Academy to write many articles. They had already dispersed in the prefecture city in the afternoon. The article criticized official su for favoritism because his brother-in-law and Madam li were siblings, and aunt Lian was friends with Madam li. Thatās why the students all say that Sir su is protecting aunt Lian because of this relationship.ā
Gu Xin,āthatās too much! These students had read the book of the sage in vain! Why did he accuse people for no reason? If my mother could kill someone with a kick, she wouldnāt have been bullied in the village!ā
Lu Zheng patted her shoulder. Xinxin, donāt worry. Calm down. Letās think about it.
Xinxin, brother ah Yuan is right, ā Gu Nian said. thereās no use in panicking.
āQian Yu, can you ask Lord su if heāll let us see the body?ā
Xue Qianyu nodded and said,āof course you can. What do you think, Lord su?ā Grandpa Gu, what do you think we should look at? A corpse?ā
Everyone looked at Grandpa Gu in surprise. Shouldnāt they be looking at Gu shouxin and Cai Xiaolian? How would he look at the corpse?
āYes, Iām looking at the corpse. Take a look at Madam Xu Fangshiās injuries.ā
Empress Jiang looked at Grandpa Gu deeply and suddenly said, ā āThe body is currently in the Yamen. You can go and take a look.ā
ā¦ā¦
Grandpa Gu, grandma Gu, Gu Xin and her sister, Lu Zheng, Xue Qianyu, and Madam li all arrived at the Yamen after dark.
The few of them did not want Gu Xin to come along. After all, the weather was hot and the victim was injured. If she were to lose her temper in the morning, it would not look good to go and take a look at her.
However, Gu Xin insisted on looking at the corpse. She also wanted to do something, even though she didnāt know what her grandfatherās intention was.
Lord su personally brought them to the room where the bodies were stored. He knew Xue Qianyuās identity and did not dare to be negligent!
The coroner moved the corpses, checked their injuries, and explained.
Gu Xin was shocked at first, but she held it in and took a closer look. Suddenly, she realized that the wound on the corpseās face was a little strange, ā āUncle coroner, my father used a whip to hit her face. Why is the end of her wound a little round? it seems like there are other injuries.ā
Everyone looked over carefully. Grandpa Gu said, ā āThis place seems to have been dug out by some sharp weapon.ā
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lord su.
āOld Liu, whatās going on?ā Sir su wiped his sweat. You didnāt write it down before?ā
The coroner surnamed Liu took a closer look. eh, I didnāt take a closer look just now. I thought that her flesh was a mess and that she was whipped. Now, it seems that this wound is indeed not caused by a whip. Itās different from this long mark.
āAs a coroner, do you still need someone to point out the wounds on the deceased?ā Gu Nian asked coldly. Itās not anywhere else, but on the face.ā
