Chapter 446 The big handprint in the coffin

Cun Gang hurriedly bowed and took it over, read it carefully page by page. He also recognized the handwriting of the third prince Zhu Gaosui, and extracted all the secret letters. What else can I say? Besides, this is a case that the prince personally reviewed. The prince is the future emperor, and he Ji Gang dares not find faults.

After reading it, Ji Gang returned the stack of paper to the prince with a smile, and said, "Yes... it was the empress who neglected... and did not see through Wang Sicai's conspiracy to accuse Concubine Shun and Lord Gu, hehe..."

Ji Gang said a few words to blame Wang Sicai for the wrong case, saying that it was the wrong case caused by Wang Sicai's random confession. Because torture in the Ming Dynasty was legal, it was also an important means to obtain confessions for the Jinyiwei. It was reasonable for him to push the responsibility to the dead Wang Sicai.

So Ming Chengzu nodded: "Since this thing was not done by Yang Aiqing, then..."

When Ji Gang heard this, the Ming Chengzu called Yang Qiuchi and had become "Yang Aiqing". He secretly cried out that something was wrong and hurriedly said in front of him: "Emperor, although the murder of the Concubine Xian had nothing to do with him, he wanted to damage the body of the Concubine Xian when he opened the coffin and examined the body of the Concubine Xian. It was also a very disrespectful and serious crime. He should be executed in the whole family and implicated the nine clans!"

Yang Qiuchi was listening on the side. At this moment, he laughed when he heard Ji Gang's fierce words. He was already in his heart and ignored his screams.

Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi shook his head: "This is indeed the case for damaging the body of the Concubine Xian, but it was not done by Mr. Yang."

Ji Gang was shocked and smiled and said to the prince, "No way? After he left, the Jinyiwei who was following me immediately dug open the tomb and enter the curtain room, opened the coffin and found the autopsy..."

Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi sneered: "Mr. Ji, Mr. Yang has obtained the permission of his father to open the tomb of Concubine Xian. However, his Jinyiwei dug out the tomb of Concubine Xian for the so-called opening and examining of the coffin, so that the sacred body of the empress was exposed to these vulgar people, but whose instructions were he followed?"

Ji Gang was shocked. According to the "Da Ming Law", destroying the imperial tomb would be a major rebellion. It was a serious crime for the destruction of nine clans. Although the Xian Concubine was not the queen and her tomb was not considered an imperial tomb, in the minds of the Ming Chengzu, the Xian Concubine's status was no less than that of the queen. Is it considered an imperial tomb? It was not a matter of the Ming Chengzu's words.

Ji Gang was already sweating heavily. He was just trying to destroy Yang Qiuchi at that time, so he authorized the Jinyiwei to find a way to destroy the body of the concubine Xian and frame it. However, he ignored this detail. Now that he thought about it carefully, this is not a trivial matter. If he didn't fix Yang Qiuchi, he fell down first. His head was very quick, and he changed his mind. He had an idea and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is the misconduct of the imperial concubine. I only care about the culprit of the damage to the concubine's body, and ignored the opening of the mausoleum by his subordinates. He deserves to die. Please give it to the emperor!"

Ming Chengzu glared at Ji Gang, frowned, waved his hand, and said to Zhu Gaochi: "You continue to say, who is the one who destroyed the body of the Concubine Xian?"

"My son entered the tomb. He saw the cover of the coffin overturned, and the body of the concubine Xian in the coffin had been cut to pieces without recognition."

A fierce light flashed in Ming Chengzu's eyes. A murderous aura filled the hall. Ji Gang felt the strong murderous aura and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

Zhu Gaochi said: "The son-in-law conducted a careful investigation and found some clues, proving that the person who destroyed the body of the concubine Xian was impossible to be Mr. Yang."

Ji Gang's proud smile froze and stared at the prince in a daze.

Ming Chengzu asked: "Why?"

"Because on the remains of the body of the Concubine Xian, the son-in-law found at least three different kinds of knife marks!"

Ming Chengzu was stunned and raised his head to look at Zhu Gaochi: "Three different marks of knife wounds?"

"Yes," said the prince: "The wounds on the remains of Concubine Xian are cut and cut. However, due to the different widths of the blades, different chopping marks were left on the bones of Concubine Xian who did not cut off. If you compare carefully, you will find that there are three different chopping marks in total!"

Of course, these were all the injuries Song Yuner analyzed and then gave him guidance to him after analyzing the remains of Concubine Xian.

Ji Gang shivered: "Three different cuts? This... it's all obvious?"

Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi continued: "When the murderer cuts and cuts, if the bone cannot be cut off with one knife, it will definitely leave a mark on the bone. Therefore, the prince only needs to check the exposed bone section on the body of the concubine Xian to determine whether it was cut off with the same knife. If the father does not believe it, the son will send someone to guard the tomb of the concubine Xian, and you will know it after you go and see it."

Ming Chengzu nodded: "Gao Chi has always been cautious. Of course, my father believes that what you have verified is not necessary to look at it. He turned around and ordered them to reorganize the tomb and bury them, so that the county can send people to see the tomb, and no one is allowed to disturb you, so he can give Virtuous Concubine a peace."

The prince bowed and agreed.

Seeing that the form is becoming more and more unfavorable to him, Ji Gang asked with a tough bullet. "Just relying on three different cuts, just

Can you be sure that it wasn’t Yang Qiuchi cutting the ground?”

The prince said: "If it were done by Mr. Yang, would it be necessary for him to cut with three different knives? Besides, the prince asked the magistrate of Feng County and Min Zhuang, who participated in the second coffin examination at that time. When Mr. Yang entered the pavilion, he had bare hands and no knife on his body!"

"Then...who knows where he hid the knife?" Ji Gang saw that this was the last chance to slander Yang Qiuchi. Although this was rude to the prince, he didn't care. He added: "Besides, just by this, it's not certain that he was not doing the land."

"Maybe not yet," the prince was a little angry and sneered, "but, plus the handprints of the Jinyiwei in the coffin of the Virtue Concubine, it should be proved."

Ji Gang was surprised: "Handmarks? What handprints? From Jinyiwei?"

Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi ignored him and said to Ming Chengzu: "Father, I learned a very interesting trick not long ago to show it to you. Please press your palm on the table. I can show you the handprint you just pressed on the table."

Ming Chengzu was a little surprised, and stretched out his hand as he spoke, pressed it on the square table next to him, and then looked at Zhu Gaochi with great interest.

Zhu Gaochi calmly took out a magnetic fingerprint brush from his arms and gently brushed it at the place where Ming Chengzu had just pressed the handprint. It was very magical! At that position on the table, a complete handprint appeared!

Of course, this magnetic fingerprint brush was lent to him by Song Yuner.

Ming Chengzu was very novel and looked at it for a long time: "Huh? How did this appear?" After thinking about it, he pressed it with his left hand and signaled the prince Zhu Gaochi to appear again. Of course, for a moment, the handprint next to him also appeared!

Ming Chengzu was even more surprised and looked at the fingerprint brush in Zhu Gaochi's hand: "What is this? It's so magical!"

The prince said: "This is what Mr. Yang used for me to investigate the case, and the handprints can be displayed."

Ji Gang sneered: "What Yang Qiuchi gave is not a trick to play a cunning trick to get rid of the crime."

The prince said coldly: "Commander Ji, what you said is wrong. I can't explain it clearly. We can try it. You first press a handprint on the table, then use ink to brush a handprint, compare it to see if it is the same one, and you will know if it is a scam."

After hearing the prince's words, Ji Gang felt a little sad. He couldn't afford to offend the prince. He was the future emperor unless he was about to be buried with Chengzu of Ming Dynasty and would not serve the new emperor in the future. So, he smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "This... hehe, there is no need... The prince said, it's definitely correct!"

Although Prince Zhu Gaochi was easy-going by nature, he was not a person who could make his ministers laugh at him. He took a step forward with a gloomy face, grabbed Ji Gang's hand, pulled it over and pressed it on the table.

Ji Gang was born in a martial arts warrior, and if he really wanted to do it, the prince couldn't hold him back. However, even if he had great skills at this moment, he would not dare to show it at all.

After pressing the handprint, the prince used a fingerprint brush to record the fingerprint, and then asked the eunuch to use ink to apply it to Ji Gang, rub the handprints with thin silk paper, and then covered the handprints in the handprints that appeared on the table, which was exactly the same!

Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi stared at Ji Gang: "Commander Ji, now, what else do you have to say?"

Ji Gang was very embarrassed and said with a smile: "Yes...hehe, this thing...hehe, it's really right at all...hehe...hehe...it's interesting..."

The prince ignored Ji Gang and turned to Chengzu of Ming Dynasty and said, "Father, when I was investigating the tomb of Concubine Xian, I not only found that there were at least three different marks of knife wounds on the corpse of Concubine Xian, but also the inner wall of the coffin of Concubine Xian was covered with hand seals. After extracting the hand seals in this way, I found that there were several hand seals on the inner wall of Concubine Xian's coffin, which were very distinctive. The hand seals were very large and there was a crack in the middle."

Hearing this, Ji Gang was so smart that he was sweating coldly.

Ming Chengzu said oh and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this cracked handprint?"

"It's wrong," said the prince, and took out a piece of white paper from his arms, with a large handprint on it showing silver powder. The prince pointed to the handprint and said, "Mr. Yang's palm is not that big. Please see, father. There is a crack in the middle of the handprint, which means that the owner of the handprint should be someone who has been injured in the palm!"
