Chapter 821 It is indeed a sign of death from poisoning
Fortunately, there were also his close friend officials who came with him, and they spoke to help him. "Sir, it is important to find out the truth in public. It is better to say less gossip. We are all here, and Brother Du will give the emperor an explanation."
Master Yu stopped talking.
Mrs. Yu was shameless by Du Zhengyan, and she was uncomfortable all over, and she became even more resentful towards Du Zhengyan.
As the saying goes, a couple will be kind to one hundred days a day, but Du Zhengyan is now choking her regardless of mercy...
Du Zhengyan's disgust towards his wife is unremarkable. Mrs. Yu had a quarrel yesterday, but this was probably what Mrs. Yu asked the boss of the Yu family to sue the emperor. It would be strange if Du Zhengyan could give her a good face.
Du Zhengyan said to Xu Jiaojiao, "Where is Liao Qing?"
Xu Jiaojiao had met Du Zhengyan and a group of entourages, and performed a simple etiquette in the etiquette posture taught by Madam Qin.
Then, he replied, "Liao Qing went to the academy in the morning and was about to take the Juren exam. I didn't let him be at home, for fear of delay."
Du Zhengyan nodded, and that's what he meant.
In his opinion, the death of the two maids was a trivial matter. If the Yu family had not sued the court, the two maids would have been buried directly and given their parents a sum of money, the matter would have been over.
He comforted Xu Jiaojiao and said, "Jiaojiao, the cause of the death of the two maids is unknown at the moment. No matter what others say, don't be afraid, just investigate it clearly. What I heard you just now, Liao Qing didn't touch them, right?"
The confrontation was so loud that Du Zhengyan and his group heard it on the way.
This was a big scene. He thought Xu Jiaojiao would be so scared that she was so scared that she was not as fragile and unbearable as he thought. Instead, she looked calm and did not look at all panic or scared.
You know, this is just a small village girl from the countryside. She has a stronger mind than a big man. Du Zhengyan couldn't help but look at her again.
If it weren't for the boldness of the dusk and not knowing the seriousness of the matter, it would be a very stable child.
Xu Jiaojiao replied, "Yes, dad. My husband has no transcendence with them. He was just being helped by two maids for a moment in a state of ignorance. There is no such thing as destroying people's innocence. Many people can testify."
Mrs. Yu snorted coldly, "Who is the evidence? It's all your own people talking about it. Who knows the authenticity? I just knew that my two maids stayed in your Baiyuan for one night and didn't go back. What can't happen during the whole night? What's more, Liao Qing was drunk and I'm afraid he didn't know what he did?"
Du Zhengyan said, "Mrs. If you don't believe in evidence, it's easy to test it. Just ask Mr. Coroner to examine the autopsy and you can understand whether these two girls are innocent."
When Xu Jiaojiao said that the body was examined to prove her innocence, she had not yet reacted. She thought again that this was ancient times, not a modern and open era. In ancient times, chastity was emphasized. Big maids like Mrs. Yu should be innocent virgins. Whether they are virgins, there were many ways to verify whether they were virgins.
Now, she was even less worried!
Mrs. Yu raised her nose, "Everyone is dead, will the master still make people insult them like this? Men and women who are not allowed to kiss each other, even if they are not at the last step, as long as Young Master Liao touches them, their innocence will be considered ruined. These two girls are virtuous, and what they want is not only physical innocence, but more reputational innocence. Otherwise, how could these two maids show their ambitions by death?"
If you have to talk like this, then this topic will not be discussed anymore. No matter what, Mrs. Yu has the upper hand.
The person next to him could not accept Mrs. Yu's words, Du Zhengyan said, "Where are the corpses of the two maids? I brought the coroner to see the corpses first and then talk. Something else was gone, and I started talking nonsense. Isn't the jokes of the family big enough? Say a few less words."
Mrs. Yu covered her face with a veil and choked, "What does the tone of scolding the master mean? The maid I have been raising for many years have disappeared in a row. Everyone has feelings for each other. Is it too much to seek justice for them? It's just that the master has become nonsense? There are so many officials watching him. The master is still so obviously trying to protect this country girl. Isn't it too much?"
"You also know that there are so many people watching, and there are father-in-laws sent by the emperor here. Why don't you take us to see the bodies of the two maids and check it out. The emperor is still waiting for us to report the situation and explain it to me, my wife!" Du Zhengyan said at the end, his tone increased by half a beat, which was quite dull.
Mrs. Yu is actually not afraid of looking at the corpse. Everyone is dead, so there is nothing that cannot be seen.
She just subconsciously opposed and hindered it. In the end, this situation must be tested.
Now that I talked about the emperor, I was afraid that the matter would be a big deal, so I said:
"Okay, the body is in our Peony Courtyard. After seeking justice, I will explain it to their parents."
It means that your emperor has to wait and explain, and my parents here also have to explain this matter. You can't just forget it in a hasty way.
Before Du Zhengyan and the others came, Xu Jiaojiao also asked to see the body. What poison did she take for suicide by taking poison? When was the time of death? What was the death situation? She was a policeman in her previous life, and she knew several colleagues from the forensic department and had observed several autopsy. She had a preliminary understanding of this kind of thing.
Now we are going together.
The group went to the direction of the Peony Garden in a mighty manner.
The body was parked in the mudroom in Mudanju's backyard. The bodies of two maids were sank on the ground and covered with white cloth.
The coroner who was walking with him stepped forward and uncovered the white cloth on the two maids, revealing Qiu Jin and Dong Jin's faces.
The timid maids and servants present were frightened and covered their eyes.
Soon it became quiet again.
Qiu Jin and Dong Jin's faces were already blue and purple, with blood bleeding in seven orifices, and their eyes were open like copper bells, as if they were dying with their eyes open. In short, they looked very scary!
The coroner saluted the adults, "The small preliminary judgment is indeed a sign of death from poisoning."
Chapter completed!
