Chapter 165 The Grand Trial in Beijing (7)
Section 165: Beijing Zhongzhong Grand Review (7)
The coffin of Ge Pinlian entered Beijing. Outside the Daxing, Wanping and Xijing counties of Shuntian Prefecture, all twenty-four coroners were arrived. The coroners under the Ministry of Justice were named Wang Qi, who was the leader of their rank and landlords. They were welcomed with wine and invited white meat at the casserole house. Three banquets were held, and they had enough food and drink. They discussed the matter here.
"All brothers have heard of this case in Yuhang County, Zhejiang. I heard from the master of the department that if this case is really turned over, the red top will be damaged by one or two. Now the case has been cleared, but just asking is useless. In the end, it depends on how the person dies. So whether this case is wronged or not depends entirely on our eyesight. With our words, this relationship is really not light!"
When he was drunk and hot, everyone was excited when he heard him speak like this. Coronership is one of the most boring businesses in the world. Every time he practices, he sees his nose, and his hands, he is disgusting. The responsibility is heavy. The murder case is related to human life and cannot be careless at all. The real cause of death was found. The case was solved beautifully and the sentence was fairly sentenced. The reputation of Master Qingtian was the county magistrate. If there was a little mistake, like Chen Xiang of Yuhang County, who ran all the way back and forth, it would be extremely miserable.
Now, after hearing Wang Qi say that the “drinking news” in his mouth can drink one or two red tops, and finally it will be a day to show your face and exhale!
But this case is not difficult. After several years, the body has already turned into bones. The method of steaming bones and testing poisons is said to me. It has been passed down for many years, but it is only taught oral, and no one has had practical experience. If you can't recognize it clearly at that time, more than 20 coroners will not only not show their faces, but will lose all their faces in this industry!
So he elected a senior, named Wei Zhenkui, to serve as a reward, but Wei refused and said something, "I shouldn't have refused because of the love of all brothers, but I know how many bowls of rice I can eat by myself, I really don't know that I'm really sure about this errand."
He said, "I have an idea, I don't know if it's OK? Mr. Gu has been a gangster for more than 50 years and has a lot of knowledge. He must have passed through such cases. Besides, Mr. Er worked hard all his life and did not have the opportunity to show his face like this. What I mean is, how about everyone praise him?"
The second great master Gu Liang is named Gu Liang, a native of Zhuozhou. Although he has retired and is not a leader, he has a very high career. In detail, the coronership of the states and counties in the northern five provinces is considered to be his subordinates. The apprentices he personally taught are still in charge, and Wei Zhenkui is one of them.
"What else can I say?" Everyone said in a crowd of promises, which was to settle the matter.
By the morning of the third day of the October 10th, the city gate of Chaoyang Gate was blocked, but there were many people leaving the city and few people entering the city. Those who left the city all went to Haihui Temple to watch the fun.
People who have lived in the capital for a long time claim to be at the feet of the emperor, paying attention to "profile" in everything, and paying special attention to the so-called "unique". The autopsy used more than 20 coroners, which is the first time since the creation of the world! Not to mention the last one, at least unprecedented. This matter can be "profile" and of course you cannot miss it.
The emperor originally wanted to join in the fun, but the weather gradually became colder, and Haihui Temple was outside the city. Yi and others foresee that there would be a lot of onlookers. They spoke with Sushun several times and coaxed and deceived him, and finally suppressed his curiosity.
But although he could not go, the emperor was worried after all, so he ordered Zhu Guangdi to be the minister of the co-author of the meeting and the officials of the Ministry of Justice to inspect the matter at Haihui Temple.
By ten o'clock, Haihui Temple was crowded inside and outside. Daxing and Wanping counties and the infantry commanders all sent out service personnel to maintain order. Just after eleven o'clock, Green back-up vehicles came one after another. Shaoqi, Yuan Baoheng, Linshu, Qian Baolian, Zaobao—except one Sang Chunrong, Waiting for guilt, all of them were here.
In addition to Weng Zenggui and Gangyi, there are also the general office of the Qiu Jue Office; the chief officer of the General Affairs Office and the chief officer of the prison department who explained the criminals; the grand establishment was established, and six large bowls, one hot pot and three tables of lunch. After the trial, it was just the right time to go.
When everyone was about to take up their seats, the two corridors and the walls of people stacked on the south side were suddenly silent, so the crying sounds from the west side hall were vaguely heard - this was the matchmaker Chen crying her son; Xiao Baicai was crying for herself, and she had been in prison for three years, and she was so excited that she burst into tears.
So Zhu Guangdi coughed and looked around, "Do you do it?"
"Yes." Zaobao replied, "please ask the host of the Zhongtang."
Zhu Guangdi nodded, raised his voice slightly and said, "Please invite Master Liu from Yuhang County to attend the court."
Liu Xitong also came to the court in the west side hall. When he saw the etiquette of the governor of the prefecture and county, he handed over the book and signed in by himself. He knelt and kowtowed three times, stood up and stood aside, half-slanted to look at Zhu Guangdi, waiting for a question.
"Master Liu, I will send you to inspect Ge Pinlian's corpse coffin. If you look back, you should pay attention to it. If there is anything wrong, you should declare it quickly."
"yes."
"Okay, please go down."
Next, the coroner was circulated. Zhu Guangdi gave a few instructions, waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat, then turned to look at Weng Zenggui and others, "We need to test it first, right?"
Weng Zenggui stood up respectfully and said, "The regular rules are only allowed to re-examination, not to three inspections; after today's inspection, it is not allowed to be tested again in the future. The relationship is very important. Who can I ask for a look at the meaning of the adults to show caution?"
So Yuan Baoheng, Weng Zenggui and Yu Zhuan, the general manager of the Qiu Judgment Office, were sent to accompany him to set up temporary seats in the corridor in front of the hall. Behind him were the officers and Liu Xitong, who was inspected by the orders. All the coroners were led by Wang Qi and Wei Zhenkui, and they were lined up in the east, waiting to serve the mission.
"Pick out Ge Pinlian's corpse coffin."
Just like this, the surrounding people watched the fun and immediately looked at the west side hall. In a short while, eight leverage men carried a coffin full of seals, putting their heads horizontally, and they could start the inspection.
"Please check the seal first," said Weng Zenggui.
"Okay." Yuan Baoheng got up and looked back, "Mr. Liu, please come too, take a closer look."
Liu Xitong's face was extremely haggard. She first asked Yuan Baoheng for peace and followed him to the corpse coffin. This was not necessary to check, because all the seals of wide, narrow, long and short were layered on the joints of the coffin. There would never be any incident where the corpse in the coffin had been dropped as rumored by the outsiders. But the procedures had to be done. Yuan Baoheng looked at it and turned to ask Liu Xitong, "But the seal was not moved?"
"Yes. Beizhi was escorted all the way, and there was no problem."
"Okay, open the coffin!"
Coroners were all experienced, so they quickly opened the lid of the coffin. Wei Zhenkui called his subordinates, moved the lid away, covered his nose with his hand, and looked inward: Ge Pinlian's bones were only a pile of bones, but although the flesh and flesh were broken, the clothes were not completely rotten.
At this point, his work has come to an end. According to the rules, he slapped Weng Zenggui a thousand times, "The corpse coffin has been opened, please check it out by the master."
Weng Zenggui and Liu Xitong stepped forward to look and confirmed that, "The bones and flesh have been corroded and they can only be identified from the clothes." Liu Xitong said, "I don't know what the deceased wore when he was buried."
"So, should relatives identify it?"
"No need. The coffin is good, and the corpse inside is good, too." Liu Xitong was a little happy, because in his opinion, the corpse was black all over, isn't this a proof of poisoning?
Weng Zenggui asked, "Is it the body of Ge Pinlian's corpse?"
"Yes."
"Okay, please come over." Weng Zenggui led him to the small table set up on the side and asked him to set up a knot on his own, indicating that there was nothing abnormal about Ge Pinlian's corpse coffin, and the coffin was also the body of Ge Pinlian's corpse. After completing this procedure, he went to ask the officials to inspect it himself.
Yuan Baoheng was brave enough to take charge. He came down to see it in person. When he found that the bones were black, he was also surprised, "Is this the way he died of poisoning?"
"I will know after answering the words of the adults."
"Then let's start!"
It was time to reveal the truth. Thousands of people from all over the country held their breath and focused their attention. Their eyes shifted with Wei Zhenkui's movements. He used fire tongs to pick up a few corpses, put them in a plate, then dipped new cotton in soju, scrubbed for a while, and tossed and turned to see.
Among the people watching, Liu Xitong was the most anxious. He kept looking at Wei Zhenkui's face, trying to get a glimpse of the news from his expression. Unexpectedly, Wei Zhenkui was extremely deep and had no hint. After reading it calmly and silently, he turned around and whispered a few words to his colleagues, shaking his head slightly.
After a while, Wei Zhenkui took out a piece of corpse from the coffin, wiped it with his thumb a few times, then raised his head, looked at the sunshine, covered it with his hands, blocked the sunshine with his bones, and looked at the other side after looking at one side, turning it over and looking at the other side. In just a bag of cigarettes, he finished reading it and put the corpse back on the tray, "Please ask the three masters to take me to the court."
Everyone was shocked at the same time, and a feeling of "Jing is the old man's spicy" rose in their hearts. Has the identification been completed so quickly?
Several people arrived at the hall, and Weng Zenggui bowed and said, "When you return to the Lord of the Central Hall, Wei Shifu examined the deceased's bones and had a conclusion."
"Oh?" Zhu Guangdi immediately leaned over and asked, "Is there any sign of poisoning?"
"No." Wei Zhenkui replied loudly, "This person died of illness!"
As soon as this said, Liu Xitong suddenly shivered and her expression changed drastically. Her whole body was shaking harder and harder. Looking at it, she couldn't even stand firmly. Weng Zenggui winked at the officers in Shitang and supported him.
Zhu Guangdi was also very energetic. Shaoqi put down the snuff bottle in his hand, "Where do you know? Let me tell you a reason?"
"Yes." Wei Zhenkui ordered people to send the pallet to the public case, "This..." Shaoqi pointed with his hand, "Isn't this black? Didn't it die of poisoning?"
"Yes." Wei Zhenkui said, "The surface is black because there are few lime bags in the coffin, the moisture is not clean, and mold spots are growing; if you die of poisoning, the bones inside and outside will be black. Lord, this bone is black on the outside but white on the inside."
"White inside?" Zhu Guangdi was not afraid of filth. He picked up a piece of corpse with his fingers and looked at the light. Finally, he put it down in disappointment. "How do you know that it is white inside?"
"Of course I can't see it," Wei Zhenkui said with a smile. "If you can see it, there is no need to coroner. If you don't believe it, you can test it on the spot."
“Do it on the spot.”
"Yes." Wei Zhenkui agreed, took a file from his colleague's hand and filed it with one knife. The file surface was so white that it was cute! After turning it over, it still filed it. Both sides were bright white, and compared with the unfilled part, it was clearly black and white, without any ambiguity.
After presenting it again, Zhu Guangdi passed on the scene, and each of them was relieved. There was only one Liu Xitong, whose face was as white as the filing on the corpse!
Zhu Guangdi nodded with satisfaction and a little praise, "Secretary Wei, you have good eyesight and good skills!" Then someone asked someone to take the corpse and let someone else do it, and Wei Zhenkui got the knot.
"Master Liu?" Zhu Guangdi suddenly raised his voice and shouted.
"Yes, yes!" Liu Xitong was confused, "I am in a humble position."
"You heard what Wei Siwu said just now?"
"Yes, I heard it."
"The emperor sent you to test it together, and take a closer look at this bone."
This is related to his own misfortune. Liu Xitong did not dare to be careless. She took off the flower glasses from her waist, took the corpse, and looked carefully. "It cannot be said that it is completely white and a little yellow."
Zhu Guangdi was secretly angry in his heart, "No matter whether it is yellow or white, it is not black, and there is a difference in appearance, right?"
Liu Xitong replied with great difficulty, "Yes."
"If it's not black, it's not because of poisoning, right?"
"Then... we have to read the "Xiaowen Lu"."
This sentence angered Yuan Baoheng, "Please see, Mr. Xing, at this point, he refused to admit his mistake. I think he must be aware of it."
Zhu Guangdi nodded and called him the name in the hall, "Liu Xitong, you have read "Xiwen Lu" a long time ago, why did you make such a big mess? There is nothing you have to do here, go and listen to it!"
Liu Xitong felt both painful and regretful! At this point, she knew that she had lost all the money, so she reluctantly agreed and stepped back as hard as she was.
