Chapter 7979 Shi Mansion
"You and I are both saddened by the death of our mother, but she died of illness. The two imperial doctors are here, so how can we ask a coroner to perform an autopsy? If this gets out, how will others view our Shi family? Who is the coroner? How can he touch our mother's body? Our mother would never agree to this!"
Shi Pei inherited the title and has been in charge of the Shi Mansion for many years. He has always had the final say on trivial matters in the Shi Mansion, and his status in the Shi Mansion is unquestionable.
After Shi Zheng passed away, Madam Fang Niao returned to the mansion with her young son. The title was inherited by Shi Pei. She was always dissatisfied and always had to refute Shi Pei's ideas. "It's really strange that mother died suddenly. Doesn't my third brother want to find out the truth?"
"My mother died of illness, and a coroner was called in for no reason... Wait, why did the coroner come to our house?!"
Fang Niao said: "This Miss Su is the young prince's friend, why can't she come?"
Shi Pei sneered, "Sister-in-law is really sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. She can see through things even in a deep house."
Fang Niao's face froze. "I am your sister-in-law after all. Are you showing respect in your words?"
While the two were arguing, Fang Niao's son Shi Yanqing also joined the battle.
When Shi Zheng died, Shi Yanqing was less than a year old. The old lady was worried that the young child would not be able to support the Shi family, so she passed the title to Shi Pei.
Now Shi Yanqing has grown up and understands the twists and turns of the matter, and is also dissatisfied with Shi Pei.
The relationship between the two families is in deep trouble.
More and more people join the battle.
Su Yan stepped aside and watched.
If she was needed to perform an autopsy, she would certainly be willing to help.
But people in the Zhou Dynasty were superstitious about coroners and autopsies, and Su Yan had long been accustomed to it.
Liang Yi took advantage of the chaos to get in, "What's going on?"
Su Yan said, "You can get some melon seeds. We'll wait for a while."
Liang Yi: “”
Liang Yi looked at Shi Yangui.
Shi Yangui stood in front of the bed, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes silent, as if he had indescribable emotions, like a road full of thorns, with chaotic and complicated lines.
Liang Yi coughed lightly, and Shi Pei and others looked at him.
Liang Yichao looked at Shi Yangui, and everyone fell silent after seeing this.
Shi Pei frowned and looked at Shi Yangui.
Shi Yangui turned around and looked at everyone, and said calmly, "Are you done arguing?"
Shi Yanqing shrank his head and dared not answer.
He is Shi Yangui's brother and older, but he really has no right to speak in front of Shi Yangui.
Even Shi Pei forced a smile, the smile he wore in official circles, and said, "Yan Gui, I..."
Shi Yangui ignored him and said, "Go out when you've had enough of the quarrel. Su Yan, come and see."
Su Yan walked over.
Shi Pei wanted to stop him, but was stopped by his wife, who held his wrist and shook her head at him. Although Shi Pei was unwilling, he had no choice but to give up.
Although Shi Yangui has not been granted a title yet, the emperor will definitely reward him for his triumph this time. It is only a matter of time before Shi Yangui is granted a title and has his own government. Without Shi Yangui, there would be no Shi Pei today.
The others were cleared out, leaving only two imperial doctors.
Su Yan walked up to Jiang Yun and saw a face full of wrinkles.
Shi Yan Gui said: "Grandmother passed away too suddenly. I suspect there is something wrong."
Su Yan subconsciously choked him, "There are only relatives and friends in the mansion, who do you suspect, General?"
The two imperial doctors lowered their heads lowered.
People around Su Yan always keep their heads down.
Shi Yangui said: "Look first and then talk."
Su Yan sat beside the couch, glanced at Jiang Yun's face, and said to Shi Yangui: "General, I need gloves and a face towel, and the imperial physician had better leave as well."
The two imperial doctors looked at each other, unable to understand Su Yan's words.
Su Yan was a coroner and a woman, so the imperial physician could not completely trust her.
The doctor said, "General Shi, since we are treating the old lady, we must take responsibility for this matter. I don't know what this girl wants to do. Why did she chase us away? General, I have to say one thing. The girl is a woman, you should..."
Before Shi Yan Gui could speak, the imperial physician heard a nonchalant female voice.
——A girl is a woman. If she were a man, what would happen?
——Girl, girl, you look down on other girls all day long. I don’t know which man gave birth to her.
——Well, just bear with it. There’s nothing we can do about the low productivity. In the future, when technology is advanced, all these men will be eliminated.
——Why didn’t I study physics? If I had studied physics, I would have invented this and that earlier. What would they have to do with it?
Imperial Physician: “…”
Can't understand.
Shi Yan Gui said: "I advise you two to be careful with your words and actions and not to provoke her."
Su Yan looked up, "I'm very good."
Imperial Physician: “…”
Shi Yangui ordered the servant to prepare according to Su Yan's instructions.
The imperial physician was asked to leave, but Shi Yangui did not leave.
Su Yan put on the veil and said, "General Shi, you'd better go out and wait. Don't worry, I won't kill anyone the second time I come to the Shi Mansion, and I won't tamper with the autopsy."
Shi Yangui asked, "Is there any risk in doing an autopsy? Is the disease my grandmother has contagious?"
Su Yan said: "It's just some guesses."
Shi Yangui said: "Since there is a risk, I have to stay."
"My life is not as valuable as yours. You can lead troops to fight and benefit the people, but I can't," Su Yan said, "Of course, I won't use the people as bait."
Shi Yan Gui was slightly stunned.
Su Yan smiled and said, "General Shi and the county governor had been to Anping Town before the war. Could it be that they knew that County Magistrate Qin was colluding with the Hu people?"
Shi Yan Gui frowned.
Su Yan said, "General, please open the window for ventilation. If you don't want to go out, wear a mask. One more thing, General Shi, do you agree to an autopsy?"
Shi Yangui said: "Okay."
"Then I'll leave those people outside to the general. My box is still at home. Please send someone to get it."
Shi Yangui walked out.
Soon, Shi Pei's angry voice was heard from the courtyard, "You want to use a knife on your mother? Yan Gui, you must be crazy! How old is she? Can you believe her words? You actually believed her?!"
Su Yan didn't know how Shi Yangui dealt with it, and Shi Pei soon fell silent.
He came in with his face veil on.
Su Yan was trying to pry open Jiang Yun's mouth. "It's just right. You can write the autopsy report, so they can rest assured. We still have to move her to another place. Is there a room in the mansion that is convenient for autopsy?"
Shi Yangui said: "You just mentioned ventilation..."
"This place needs to continue to be ventilated. After we leave, you must order people to guard this place and no one is allowed to enter."
Shi Yangui nodded.
Jiang Yun's body was moved to an unused courtyard.
When the servants were cleared out, Su Yan took a quick look and saw Yu Xian leaving with the others.
Su Yan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid your good brother can't be responsible for her."
Shi Yangui looked at Su Yan.
"you do not know?"
Shi Yangui said: "I didn't notice."
If you don't pay attention, such a big thing will...
Shi Yangui has indeed been acting strangely these past two days.
Shi Yangui accompanied Su Yan to perform the autopsy, and he was responsible for taking notes.
Su Yan has not yet performed an autopsy, but he first described the symptoms. "The time of death was an hour ago. There are ulcers in the mouth, loose teeth, and signs of edema. It is suspected to be poisoning. An autopsy is needed for a detailed examination."
When he heard the word "poisoning", Shi Yangui opened his eyes.
As soon as the tool box was delivered, Su Yan picked up the dissecting knife and with a flick of the knife, a smooth scratch appeared on Jiang Yun's chest.
Su Yan asked as he operated: "How did you convince Fashion Book just now?"
Shi Yan Gui said: "I let them go."
Su Yan: "?, gone?"
“No more.”
Su Yan: “…”
"The autopsy showed that the deceased's lungs and airways showed signs of edema, and a large amount of mucosa had fallen off."
Su Yan took out the lungs. "The hardness of both lungs increased and their color turned red."
She cut off a small piece of lung, "The cut surface was dark red."
"There is detached airway mucosa in the alveolar cavity... Never mind, don't remember this."
Shi Yangui asked: "Why?"
Su Yan said: "They don't understand."
"Looking at the kidneys and liver, the kidneys are pale and have bleeding spots on the surface. The liver is dark purple-red and the cut surface is slightly yellow."
Su Yan tried to make it as simple as possible.
Shi Yangui asked: "What can this prove?"
Su Yan put down the liver in his hand. "The airway is corroded, the kidneys are diseased, the teeth are loose, and there are signs of edema. If I open the brain now, I will definitely see brain edema. The old lady died of poisoning, inhalation mercury poisoning."
"What is mercury?"
"It is a raw material for alchemy. Emperors of previous dynasties also used it in their tombs. As far as I know, cinnabar will decompose and produce mercury vapor when heated, and mercury vapor can be cooled to become mercury. In my opinion, the old lady was killed by someone. Someone burned this thing in the room. After a long time, it all evaporated. The old lady inhaled the mercury vapor and became ill and died. The old lady had symptoms three days ago, which is normal. This person is very likely to have done it three days ago."
