Chapter sixty-nine pregnant
Pei Huan felt a little sympathetic to Chen Xiao, and if he was not careful, he would be caught up to the bottom of it. How else would he live this life? It was too difficult!
"Smile." Pei Huan said with a tough forehead.
The pig smiles or not. This is not the point, right? Is the point that the pig really dead?
Hua Jingyao really wanted to ask what the pig looked like when she smiled, but when she saw Pei Huan's face that was worse than death, forget it, let Luo Si go and ask.
"Where is that concubine, have you confessed?" Hua Jingyao asked.
Pei Huan shook her head: "After the concubine was imprisoned, she died that night. She smashed her rice bowl and stabbed the pieces into her neck. The direction of the wound was exactly in line with the position of her left hand, and she committed suicide. We found out later that just after she was imprisoned, her younger brother ran away. Therefore, this case was solved on the surface, but we know that the case cannot be considered to be solved."
Indeed, the murderer was found and the case was solved, but where did this strange poison come from? It has been several years since it has not been found.
This case left a deep impression on Pei Huan, so when he saw Zheng Wan's body, he remembered this case.
"Actually, Zheng Wan has not had much time left. Even if she has not used poison, she will not be able to live for a few days."
This is also something that Hua Jingyao wonders.
What's the point of using this rare poison on a dying person?
At this moment, Miss Luo Si walked out and followed her assistant.
Miss Luo Si walked up to Hua Jingyao and asked, "After the deceased was injured, did you ask the doctor to take her pulse?"
This is really the wrong person, and Hua Jingyao doesn't know either.
She called a female prisoner and asked, "The Prefect Li asked the doctor to see Zheng Wan's injury. Did the doctor take her pulse when she came?"
The female jailer shook her head: "The injuries on her body are common. We all know how to treat them. There is no need to hire a doctor. Later, she got crazy, but we couldn't cure them, but there was no doctor who could cure them."
In other words, people in Shuntian Prefecture have seen too many prisoners who have been punished, so they know what medicine to use based on experience. Whenever they encounter such a thing, they usually have people from the prisoner's family, either asking someone to plead for mercy, or secretly stuffing silver to the prison chief, and ask the doctor to come over to treat him. If the doctor cannot be hired, they will buy medicine to send it over.
But Princess Yongen hated Zheng Wan to death. Zheng Wan was imprisoned, but Princess Yongen ignored her.
There was no such expense in the yamen. In desperation, the prefect Li could only pay for the medicine for Zheng Wan out of his own pocket. The prefect Li was always stingy, so of course he could save as much as possible. Since the prison chief and the prison guards had both experience, the prefect Li saved even the money he hired for the doctor. He asked someone to pick up cheap medicine and bought a few packs of them for Zheng Wan.
Upon hearing this, Miss Luo Si said, "In other words, I have never hired a doctor at all, and no one has ever treated the deceased's pulse."
The female jailer nodded and looked at Miss Luo Si curiously.
She had heard of such a female coroner for a long time. This was the first time she had seen a real person. She thought she was a fat man like Luo Coroner. Unexpectedly, not only was she not fat, but she was quite beautiful.
Since the first autopsy, Miss Luo Si would be looked up and down every time, and she had long ignored it.
She said to Hua Jingyao: "No wonder."
As she said that, she handed the corpse to Hua Jingyao.
The corpse pattern was just written, and because there was no table, the handwriting was a bit sloppy. Fortunately, in order to be a coroner, Miss Luo Si had already practiced a well-known style of the Pavilion. Although it is sloppy now, she can understand it.
Hua Jingyao looked at it briefly and was attracted by a few words.
She was shocked and looked at Miss Luo Si incredibly: "Is Zheng Wan pregnant?"
Miss Luo Si nodded: "Well, it should be three months old. Her lower abdomen has bulged, but it is not obvious. She gains a little weight, and it looks like this."
This was really beyond Hua Jingyao's expectations.
Zheng Wan was imprisoned for almost a month, which means that Zheng Wan was pregnant when she killed Zhu Wanhua.
She and Shen Xiao both tried Zheng Wan's maid. The maid said everything she could say and couldn't say. She didn't seem to be pretending, but she didn't mention Zheng Wan's pregnancy.
They didn't even say that Zheng Wan had a man.
Whose child belongs to?
Hua Jingyao was stunned. Just now, she even told Pei Huan about her doubts. Zheng Wan was already dying, so why would anyone still poison her?
Thinking of this, she picked up the corpse again and looked carefully. Zheng Wan was indeed killed by poisoning, but Miss Luo Si couldn't detect what poison it was, at least it was not the common crane red or something, and of course it was not the oleander that Zheng Wan herself used to harm people.
"By the way, didn't Princess Yongen send Madam Chai over? Where is she? Why didn't I see her after I came?"
A few days ago, Zheng Wan's condition worsened. Seeing that it was too late to open the interrogation, the Prime Minister Li had to ask someone to send a letter to Hua Jingyao. Hua Jingyao asked Shi Bing to find the main person of Yongen County. Princess Yongen had no choice but to let Madam Chai go to the prison to serve the disease.
The female prisoner was called over again. When Hua Jingyao asked about Madam Chai, the female prisoner was so angry.
"That woman is really troublesome. She is obviously a servant, but she is not a small air. She seems to be a proud grandma. After she comes, she is very picky. Oh, this is a prison, and she really thinks it is her own home."
Hua Jingyao asked, "What is she picky about?"
"What else? I dislike the mice. I also said that there are lice in her hair. Oh, tell me, she dislikes us for not catching lice for her lady. Tell me, how could there be such a person? Is this not the one who serves prisoners? Is it true? I have been working here for more than 20 years, but it is the first time I have met such a person. It's really angering."
In front of the princess, the female prison guard held back and didn't swear words. When she thought of that dead woman, she was full of anger.
"When did Madam Chai leave?" Madam Chai was not in prison, so she just left.
