Chapter 551: Like Poisoning (Part 1)
Fan Chengzhuo had been in the Ministry of Justice for many years and had seen many methods of torture, so he was no longer surprised.
But when he heard Shen Yanchuan say this, his heart still couldn't help but jump.
Who doesn't know the abilities of the Black Guards!
Even a dead person’s mouth can be pried open! What about living people!
If it really fell into Shen Yanchuan's hands, I'm afraid...
Fan Chengzhuo looked serious and frowned, "Sir, this happened in the Ministry of Justice after all. I am to blame. How can I ignore it? Or -"
"Lord Fan is already in a state of panic." Chen Yanchuan looked back at the ruins still emitting billowing white smoke, and shook his head with regret, "I wonder how much trouble this fire will cause Lord Fan. It's already very difficult to deal with those. As for this assassination, it was probably to seek revenge on me, and it almost implicated Lord Fan. How can I trouble Lord Fan again?"
Fan Chengzhuo felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head.
Shen Yanchuan's words were like a knife, stabbing straight into his heart.
He turned his neck stiffly and looked at the charred ruins.
The loss of property was secondary. The prisoners in the jail caused a commotion and almost broke down the gate of the Ministry of Justice. Now there were several dead bodies of prisoners who died in the conflict lying on the ground.
These - all are to be blamed on him!
Fan Chengzhuo wanted to say something else when he suddenly heard a frightened scream from the side.
When he looked back, he saw that Ye Chutang had already washed his hands and started to perform autopsies on those Nanhu swordsmen!
She held the knife in her hand and with just a light stroke, the already tattered clothes on the Nanhu swordsman were cut open.
Most of the people present had never seen such a scene before. Seeing Ye Chutang actually starting it on the spot, some who were scared cried out in surprise and hurriedly turned their heads away.
Ye Chutang was not disturbed and his hands did not stop moving for a moment.
Someone whispered, "This... Miss Ye Er is such a young lady, but she's not afraid of her. Why are these people so scared? It's really embarrassing!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted agreement.
"That's right! It's a pity that he still receives a salary from the imperial court! He is even worse than a woman!"
"To be honest, Miss Ye did this for us. Otherwise, if those Nanhu swordsmen died inexplicably in the Ministry of Justice, who among us who were there would be able to escape responsibility?"
The person being talked about turned purple in the face and wanted to explain, but he was in the wrong, so he just shut up.
Perhaps it was because Ye Chutang was too calm and composed, and his calming aura gradually affected the people around him. The noisy sounds gradually became smaller and finally became quiet.
Countless eyes were fixed on the movements of her hands.
Suddenly, someone said "Huh?"
"It's really strange. These people have been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice for some time. Although they have wounds on their bodies, they don't look fatal. How did they die?"
Soon someone responded disapprovingly: "What's so strange about this? At first glance, there's nothing wrong, but who knows if there are other reasons? I heard that the Nanhu swordsmen are all deadly warriors, and they keep their mouths shut. If you don't use some special means, I'm afraid they won't say anything."
The people in the Ministry of Justice have plenty of ways to deal with those prisoners who refuse to speak.
In this process, it is not uncommon to kill someone, intentionally or unintentionally.
but……
"It is because they are Nanhu swordsmen that we should not do this! How can we continue the trial if they are going to die? We must leave them alive!"
There was a moment of silence.
This is indeed true.
The Ministry of Justice has too many prisoners, so one more or one less is not a big deal.
But these people are different - His Majesty originally issued an order to thoroughly investigate their origins!
Now that everyone is dead, how can we continue the investigation?
I'm afraid all the officials responsible for this matter, from top to bottom, will be blamed!
"If that's the case, these guys should have been more careful guards, so how come they died?"
Someone realized it later and finally figured it out. He looked at Ye Chutang, then at Chen Yanchuan, and suddenly realized it.
——It is obvious that the prince wants to investigate!
Ye Chutang had nothing to do with these things or these people. She deliberately waded into this muddy water just for Chen Yanchuan!
…
Ye Chutang checked the wounds on the Nanhu swordsman's body one by one, his brows slightly furrowed.
Although these injuries can cause great pain to people, they are certainly not fatal.
She carefully examined the eyes, ears, mouths and noses of these people and found scarlet blood stains on them.
Chen Yanchuan came to her side without knowing when.
"how?"
Ye Chutang seemed to be thinking: "It seems that he died of poisoning."
"picture?"
Shen Yanchuan immediately caught the key point in her words.
Ye Chutang hummed, and turned his head to look: "Bleeding from all seven orifices, and sudden death, it does look like it was caused by poisoning."
This was also Shen Yanchuan's previous guess.
When he learned that these people died all in a short period of time, he speculated that there was a high probability that someone had used poison.
But I didn't expect Ye Chutang to say that.
Her meaning was obvious - it looked like it, but it wasn't!
"Why is that?"
Chen Yanchuan's eyes swept across the bodies of those people, and his sword-like eyebrows slightly frowned.
They had many wounds on their bodies, which showed that they had been severely interrogated before death. However, those people in the Ministry of Justice knew what was going on and it was impossible for them to kill them.
Unless someone did it on purpose and used extremely vulgar and underhanded means.
But now it seems that it is not the case.
Ye Chutang checked very carefully and found that these people did not have any objects such as silver needles or iron nails on them.
Ye Chutang looked at those people again, thoughtfully.
Fan Chengzhuo stood with his hands behind his back, and snorted in his heart when he saw this scene.
It sounds like that's the case, but in the end, nothing can be found out?
He said impatiently, "Miss Ye Er, have you finished your investigation? If you have, I will ask them to carry the body away first. Although it is cold and the body will rot slowly, it is not a good idea to keep it here. Besides, autopsy is troublesome in itself. It doesn't matter if Miss Ye Er can't find out the truth for the time being. Just let the people below do it."
He looked around.
"Where's the coroner? Where did he go? Come here quickly!"
Ye Chutang could naturally hear the sarcasm in his words, but she didn't take it to heart.
After staring at the corpse for a few seconds, her eyes suddenly fixed.
She took a step forward, stood beside the corpse, and leaned forward slightly.
The sharp blade fell on the man's chest.
Fan Chengzhuo frowned: "Miss Ye Er, you——"
"The inspection is not finished yet, why is Lord Fan in such a hurry?" Ye Chutang said without raising his head.
Fan Chengzhuo choked up, he couldn't believe it:
"Are you going to dissect the body in public? How can you do that?!"
Ye Chutang narrowed his eyes slightly, clenched his white fingers, and slashed the knife quickly and decisively!
