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, ” “I’ve already asked official su. The coroner’s report from this morning said that Madam Xu Fang’s 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 Fangshi’s head to the ground and it’s bleeding non-stop.”

“What did second uncle and aunt Lian say?”

“Auntie Lian said no,” 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 Lian’s kick did not hit the back of his head.”

“Then what about Lord su?” 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. That’s why the students all say that Sir su is protecting aunt Lian because of this relationship.”

Gu Xin,’that’s 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 wouldn’t have been bullied in the village!”

Lu Zheng patted her shoulder. Xinxin, don’t worry. Calm down. Let’s think about it.

Xinxin, brother ah Yuan is right, ” Gu Nian said. there’s no use in panicking.

“Qian Yu, can you ask Lord su if he’ll let us see the body?”

Xue Qianyu nodded and said,”of course you can. What do you think, Lord su?” Grandpa Gu, what do you think we should look at? A corpse?”

Everyone looked at Grandpa Gu in surprise. Shouldn’t they be looking at Gu shouxin and Cai Xiaolian? How would he look at the corpse?

“Yes, I’m looking at the corpse. Take a look at Madam Xu Fangshi’s injuries.”

Empress Jiang looked at Grandpa Gu deeply and suddenly said, ” “The body is currently in the Yamen. You can go and take a look.”

……

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 didn’t know what her grandfather’s intention was.

Lord su personally brought them to the room where the bodies were stored. He knew Xue Qianyu’s 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 corpse’s face was a little strange, ” “Uncle 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.”

Everyone looked over carefully. Grandpa Gu said, ” “This place seems to have been dug out by some sharp weapon.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lord su.

“Old Liu, what’s going on?” Sir su wiped his sweat. You didn’t write it down before?”

The coroner surnamed Liu took a closer look. eh, I didn’t 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. It’s different from this long mark.

“As a coroner, do you still need someone to point out the wounds on the deceased?” Gu Nian asked coldly. It’s not anywhere else, but on the face.”
