Chapter 660
The person who went to invite Lu Song was under the command of the seventh prince Xuan Tianhua. According to Xuan Tianhua's intention, he only conveyed the words of Zuo Xiang coming to collect the corpse. Lu Song was still puzzled by whom he would collect the corpse.
Jingzhao Yin Xu Jingyuan, who came in later, listened to the class and then followed the Yao family's servants to the side. Not only did he come by himself, he also brought an official and a coroner, and looked like he was going to handle the case at home, which made Lu Song feel confused again.
But when he walked into the gate of the Yao Mansion and saw the corpse on the ground, he woke up instantly.
He stopped and stared at the corpse with wide eyes. In addition to his fear, there was more disgust and anger. Lu Song never expected that the person who had been sent to another province would suddenly come back and appear in the Yao Mansion, but why did he die? Damn it! He should die sooner or later, but he chose to die at this time, or die at the Yao family. Lu Song looked at Lu Yao and looked at everyone present, and couldn't help but feel regretful. If he had known today, he would have made up his mind to strangle this rebellious son to death earlier.
"Sir Lu, why don't you go in here? The Seventh Prince is still waiting for you to reply." The guard who invited him to the door spoke to Lu Song very rudely. What a first-class left prime minister was nothing in his eyes.
Lu Song was shocked and quickly found where Xuan Tianhua was. He almost trotted past. Without saying a word, he raised his robe and knelt at Xuan Tianhua's feet and said aloud: "My minister Lu Song, come to see His Highness Chun!"
Because the person was called by Xuan Tianhua, the others didn't say much, just waiting for Xuan Tianhua to deal with him. But Xuan Tianhua seemed to have never seen him or seen him, standing with his hands behind his back, staring at him, just ignoring Lu Song.
Lu Song was also a person who could tolerate it, and just knelt on the ground without any complaints. A rank of the first and second grades is not a bad thing in front of the prince? What's more, how could he be the left prime minister, but he knew in his heart that the court had such a vacancy, and the emperor saw that no one could climb up and gave it to him casually. However, when he became the left prime minister, he felt extremely stressed. To put it nicely, he was the minister of the country's humble minister. To put it nicely, no one knows whoever the emperor dislikes, he will be the left prime minister. Once the position of the left prime minister is firmly held, then what follows will be the rounds of suppression. Feng Jinyuan was like this in the past, Feng Jinyuan's ex, and the former predecessor is still like this. The position of the left prime minister in the Dashun Dynasty has never been easy to sit!
Of course, not all the left prime ministers were unlucky. Some of the previous dynasty stood out, but they bet the right treasure and promised their daughter to a prince who would really succeed the throne in the future.
Lu Song also hopes that one day, as long as he can turn over as the left prime minister, what is the humiliation today? Although the emperor is indeed deliberately spreading the ninth prince at the moment, who knows what happened next? The emperor is in good health, and all the princes are not given for nothing. He wants to see who will win and lose in the end of this game.
After thinking, Xuan Tianhua finally had a reply, but asked him: "The dead one, is your son?"
Lu Song quickly replied: "If you want to go back to your highness, this is the eldest son of the minister, named Lucuo." He only cared about the overall situation for a moment, but forgot what a father should do when facing the sudden death of his eldest son.
This was not only Xuan Tianhua's surprise, but even the officials and the ladies present were puzzled and couldn't help but talk privately. When Lu Song heard people's comments, he also realized what was going on. But now he turned around and cried his son seemed too fake, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
Xuan Tianhua was not in a hurry, so he picked up a chair next to him and sat down, only looking at the coroner who was undergoing an autopsy.
The coroner had heard what the class left before, and he was more comfortable to test the corpse at this time. He looked directly at the neck of the corpse, and said while looking: "The throat was deeply pricked by sharp and fine objects, which was fatal, and it was about two more." As he said that, he opened the collar of the deceased, removed the top, and gradually checked it. "There are nail scratches on the back of the neck, water plants on the hair, and the water vapor all over his body smelled fishy. It was not rainwater. It should have been soaked in the water of the pond. The heel of the shoe was damaged, and it should have been dragged by someone. The death time was about 3 o'clock."
The coroner dictated the autopsy report very quickly, looked at Xu Jingyuan and nodded: "Sir, I'm sorry for him."
Xu Jingyuan had a cold face and looked straight at Lu Yao, but turned his head and said to Yao Xian: "Mr. Yao, should the lower-ranking officials take the suspect back for retrial in this case, or should they be tried on the spot?"
Yao Xian waved his hand and said, "I'll try it now! I'm going to see who dares to kill someone in my Yao Mansion. After the killing, he framed my precious granddaughter."
Xu Jingyuan took a deep breath. Before he came, he had already heard the class talk about the matter here. He only said that the people from the Lu family were really brave. They actually poured a pot of dirty water on Princess Ji'an. Isn't this crazy?
With Yao Xian's permission, he immediately started to handle the case. The person was unceremoniously sitting on the main seat that Yao Jingjun gave up. According to the case handling process, he first found out all the people who had been to the place where the incident happened and the place around him. Then he checked one by one, and finally, he landed the target on Feng Yuheng and Xiyuaner.
However, Feng Yuheng was not in a hurry. Xu Jingyuan was hers, so she naturally believed in this person's ability to handle cases.
Sure enough, Xu Jingyuan left her alone without judging her and directly targeted the servants of the Lu family in the Xiyuan.
The three of them knelt on the spot, and the wet nurse was still trying hard to emphasize Feng Yuheng's suspicion. Xu Jingyuan's official official was not polite at all. He raised the stick in his hand and took a slap on her back, slapped the old man so that he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. Hearing the official official sip of "Sujing", he never dared to say anything more.
Xu Jingyuan is a smart person. He knew that this matter would never end with his servants. He would never admit it when he was thrusting. He had time to waste his time, but it would be unlikely to handle the case in a moment.
But it wouldn't work if he didn't solve it on the spot. Yao Xian was waiting on the other side. The old doctor was a celebrity in front of the emperor and Feng Yuheng's grandfather. He didn't dare to provoke him no matter how brave he was. So he turned his eyes and thought about it.
"Miss Lu's family, or I should call you the young lady of the Yao family now. Are you guilty?" Suddenly, Xu Jingyuan threw out such a sentence, scaring Lu Yao to death. Even everyone present was slightly surprised.
Lu Yao was not kneeling in the middle of the ground, but Xu Jingyuan named him. The officials immediately went to do the job as an errand. After pulling Lu Yao, he pressed him to the ground and forced him to kneel down.
Lu Yao was dissatisfied and kept shouting: "Why arrest me? Let go! I am the second lady of Zuo Xiang Mansion, why do you treat me like this?"
Xu Jingyuan snorted coldly, "Your father, the left prime minister of the current dynasty, is he still kneeling on the ground now. What's your name?"
Lu Yao was stunned and reacted to look at Lu Song. Then she found that Lu Song was still kneeling at the feet of the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince didn't shout, and he didn't dare to get up even if he died. Her heart trembled and stopped struggling, but she still said unwillingly: "Mr. Xu is here to handle the case. The deceased is my biological brother. Why are you taking me here for?"
Xu Jingyuan said coldly: "I asked you to come forward, so there is naturally a reason for you. So what about your brother? Some people just have a vicious heart that even their own brothers can do it."
"You--" Lu Yao didn't expect Xu Jingyuan to be so arbitrary, and he brought the charge to her. However, she was not afraid, and she had a reasonable argument: "Don't swear at others, how could I attack my brother? That's impossible! What's more, a big man, a weak woman, can't kill him?"
This is reasonable, but Xu Jingyuan scoffed at this and greeted his subordinates: "Go and remove the shoes under Miss Lu's feet."
"What are you doing? Why take off my shoes?" Lu Yao was a little panicked and was taken off her shoes in front of everyone for no reason. This was a great humiliation for the woman. Even Yao Shu couldn't stand it anymore. She wanted to go up and say a few words, but was pressed down by Yao Jingjun.
The officials did not know how to deal with Lu Yao's crying. He took off his shoes very quickly. In a few seconds, the shoes on her feet were handed to Xu Jingyuan. Xu Jingyuan took them over and looked at the soles of the shoes, and sneered at the corner of his lips: "The soles of the shoes are wet mud and covered with dry grass. It can be seen that Miss Lu is someone who has been to the scene of the murder."
Lu Yao shouted in anger: "I've been there before. I've met my brother. I've talked and got a gift before I went back. It's normal to get mud under my feet. It's raining heavily in Japan today. Lord Xu, what is the evidence, "
"Oh?" Xu Jingyuan sneered, "Isn't this evidence? Well--" He threw the shoes to the coroner again, letting him smell the mud and grass on the soles of the shoes, and then looked at the upper.
The coroner smelled it and immediately said, "It smells fishy, not rain, but stagnant water by the river." Looking at the upper again, "There are wet marks, splashing water." After saying that, he took the initiative to step forward, and the official arrested Lu Yao's ten fingers to check carefully, then said, "There are skin marks on the nails, and there is a pyramid on the scratch marks on the back of the deceased's neck, which is the same color as the nails of Miss Lu's family." Looking at the jewelry on Lu Yao's end, he suddenly pointed to a fine hairpin and said, "The thin branches on this hairpin just match the fatal wound in the throat of the deceased."
Lu Yao was shocked, "How is that possible?" When did she grab Lu Cuo's neck? How could she leave Kodan? The hairpin on her head... can she stab someone to death?
In a panic, he subconsciously looked at the slightly fat girl beside him. The girl naturally knew that she killed the person, not Lu Yao at all, but now Xu Jingyuan pointed the finger at Lu Yao. Lu Yao has always been timid. At this time, he must be selling her. She didn't want to die yet, so she quickly said, "Impossible! How could my lady kill her brother? No... no motive!" After saying that, she seemed to immediately understand Xu Jingyuan's real intention of deducting those charges to Lu Yao. It was to take advantage of Lu Yao's weakness of being afraid of things and never taking care of things. Once Lu Yao was in a panic, she would definitely bite the real murderer. At that time, she would recognize him, and if she didn't recognize him, she would recognize him. This Jingzhao Yin has a good move!
The maid gritted her teeth in secret, but listened to Xu Jingyuan: "Do you want a motive? OK! I have a motive here too!"
