Jinyiwei factory flower base love story

Chapter 7 The Death of Chief Assistant

Xiao Jing just revealed that he wanted to investigate Duan Mingchen, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.

The eldest lady of the Shen family is about to get married, and the Shen family is busy preparing for the wedding, when Shen Junru, the head assistant of the dynasty, suddenly died at home!

Shen Junru is not only the chief minister of the current dynasty, but also an important minister in the cabinet. He is also a world-renowned Confucian in the literary world and a model of scholars in the world. Countless civil servants in the court are from his sect, and even the emperor Xiao Jing is his student.

When the news came, the government and the public were shocked, and even the emperor wept in grief!

Shen Junru was only 45 years old, in his prime and in good health, so his sudden death undoubtedly attracted much attention.The emperor personally decreed that the truth must be investigated, so as to comfort the spirit of the teacher in heaven.

Jin Yiwei was well-informed, Duan Mingchen learned of Shen Junru's death at the first time, and had a premonition in his heart that this tricky job might fall on Jin Yiwei.

Early in the morning, the Jinyi Guards gathered at the Zhenfu Division, waiting in full force, waiting for the order from their superiors, but Duan Mingchen never expected that the person who came to announce the order was Gu Huaiqing, a celebrity from Dongchang.

Gu Huaiqing was dressed in sapphire blue straight embroidered with a stone blue marten cloak. He seemed to prefer stone blue, such a deep color made his skin white as jade, and if he stood there casually, he would be as dazzling as an orchid and jade tree.

Gu Huaiqing held up the imperial decree, looked around with sharp Danfeng eyes, and said loudly: "The imperial decree is here!"

The brocade guards in flying fish suits knelt down on the ground, Gu Huaiqing unfolded the imperial decree and read it aloud.

After Duan Mingchen knelt and listened to the imperial decree, he couldn't help but feel a sudden shock: the emperor ordered him to be responsible for thoroughly investigating the death of the chief assistant, which was expected, but the emperor asked Gu Huaiqing to assist in the investigation, which is a bit intriguing. Does it mean that you don't worry about Jin Yiwei and let Dongchang watch from the sidelines?

Duan Mingchen guessed in his heart, but did not reveal anything on his face, and respectfully took the imperial decree from Gu Huaiqing.

Gu Huaiqing smiled and said to Duan Mingchen: "Master Duan, the emperor has high hopes for you, and hopes that you will fulfill your mission."

Duan Mingchen cupped his fists: "Your official will definitely do my best!"

Gu Huaiqing said: "Then, where do we start to investigate?"

Duan Mingchen glanced at Gu Huaiqing, thinking, is this guy really planning to investigate the case with him?This Gu Huaiqing is really not a good match, I hope he will not cause trouble and drag himself down.

Gu Huaiqing seemed to see his doubts, and emphasized: "The emperor asked me to assist Mr. Duan in handling the case."

Duan Mingchen had no choice but to say helplessly: "Let's go investigate the scene of the crime immediately and see if we can find some clues."

Gu Huaiqing's eyes lit up: "Then let's go!"

Duan Mingchen walked towards the door without saying a word.

Gu Huaiqing followed Duan Mingchen step by step, unable to restrain his excitement.

He has been in the palace all year round. Not long after he entered the East Factory, this was the first time he encountered such a big case.Originally, Xiao Jing meant to hand over to Duan Mingchen to investigate the case, and also to examine Duan Mingchen's ability by the way. Gu Huaiqing begged Xiao Jing for a long time, and Xiao Jing reluctantly agreed to let him assist.

Duan Mingchen and Gu Huaiqing each had their own thoughts, and each led Jin Yiwei and Dongchang's troops to Shen's residence.

Shen's mansion reported the murder case to the officials as soon as possible, Shuntian Mansion did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent people to surround the mansion, preventing idlers from approaching.

Jin Yiwei and Dongchang were ordered to investigate the case, so they could naturally enter the main hall of Shen's residence without any hindrance.

Before Duan Mingchen could open his mouth, Gu Huaiqing sat down on the Grand Master's chair, and raised his chin at Shuntian Fu Yin: "What did you find? Report it truthfully!"

Shuntian Prefecture is in charge of public security and government affairs in the capital, and has the right to accept complaints from all over the country, so its importance goes without saying.

Shuntian Fuyin is a third-rank official, and his authority is no lower than that of the governor and governor. Gu Huaiqing is just a fifth-rank thousand household in Dongchang. The level of the two is much different, but Shuntian Fuyin is very respectful in front of Gu Huaiqing, and he dare not show any disrespect. Report everything you find.

"Master Shoufu died when Haishi and Zishi were handed over, and the place of death was Mrs. Shen's bedroom. The cause of death was..." Shuntian Fu Yin said the cause of death, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

Gu Huaiqing frowned and said, "Why are you hesitating, what is the cause of death?"

Fu Yin leaned over and said in a low voice: "The preliminary judgment should be... the wind immediately."

As soon as these words came out, Duan Mingchen and Gu Huaiqing were both stunned.

Duan Mingchen asked: "Why do you judge that it's the horse's wind?"

"The lower official asked Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Shen said, Mr. Shoufu drank a bowl of Qiyang soup and started having sex. After walking for about a stick of incense, Mr. suddenly convulsed, hemoptysis continued, and it was difficult to breathe. Madam was shocked. Calling people to come in for first aid, but it didn't work, Lord Shoufu soon died of exhaustion."

Gu Huaiqing raised his eyebrows, his expression was a little subtle.Immediate wind usually occurs in middle-aged men, not to mention that Shen Junru has just married a beautiful girl, and excessive intercourse leads to prolapse, which sounds quite normal.

Duan Mingchen said, "Can I check the corpse?"

Fu Yin led the two of them to Mrs. Shen's bedroom. For the purpose of protecting the scene, Shen Junru's body remained in place and had not been moved.

Duan Mingchen lifted the white cloth covering Shen Junru's body, only to see that the deceased's complexion was pale, obviously he had died for a long time.He was born with clear eyebrows, white face and beard, gentle and handsome. Although he was over forty years old, he was well maintained and he was still a handsome middle-aged uncle.

Gu Huaiqing recalled seeing Shen Junru in the palace yesterday, Xiao Jing congratulated his daughter on the marriage of Wei Zhuangyuan, and discussed with himself what kind of congratulatory gift he should give, but in the blink of an eye, the chief assistant turned into a corpse. It's embarrassing.

Shuntian Fu Yin presented the autopsy results to Duan Mingchen, but Duan Mingchen put the autopsy report aside, put on gloves, and began to examine the corpse himself.

Shuntian Fu Yin showed surprise on his face. You must know that autopsy has always been considered unlucky, and the work has always been done by low-status untouchables. The officials who handle the case only need to review the autopsy report, and few people touch the corpse in person.

Gu Huaiqing also leaned over, and Duan Mingchen frowned at him.However, he thought that Gu Huaiqing's method of murder was so fierce, he would not be afraid of the corpse.

Duan Mingchen took off all Shen Junru's clothes, carefully inspected every inch of skin from head to toe, even the lower body and private parts.

Gu Huaiqing didn't make a move, but his eyes followed Duan Mingchen's movements closely.Although Gu Huaiqing had never investigated the case, he was always careful, and soon discovered that although the deceased had no marks on his face, there were patches of red spots on his body.

After Duan Mingchen checked the front, he turned the body over to check again. On the back of the deceased, the erythema became more obvious, and the vest was still covered with small red peas.

Gu Huaiqing couldn't help asking: "Are these the legendary corpse spots?"

Duan Mingchen ignored him, instead he turned around and asked Fu Yin: "Where did Wu Zuo go?"

The Fu Yin wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied: "Forgive me, my lord, there were originally two foremen in Shuntian Mansion, the older one just went back to his hometown for the funeral, and the remaining one is younger and less experienced. However, the lower official has no other choice but to rely on him. Recently, there have been unidentified assassins making troubles, killing people one after another. No, I just received the bad news from Mr. Shen in the morning, and then I received a report that someone was lying dead on Xizhimen Street. , After finishing the inspection here, I hurried over there..."

Gu Huaiqing raised his eyebrows in displeasure. To be so hasty, is it too trifling with human life?

Duan Mingchen nodded, expressing his understanding. In Wu Zuo's eyes, the chief assistant of the cabinet is the same as the passers-by who died on the street. They are just dead bodies, and there is no distinction between high and low.It's just that this author is a novice, hastily and carelessly checked, and hastily came to a conclusion that is going to be the wind, which is obviously not convincing.

Duan Mingchen ordered his subordinates: "Go and invite Jin Yiwei's assistant immediately."

Jin Yiwei's subordinates took the order to leave, and Duan Mingchen asked Fu Yin again: "Who prescribed the Qiyang Decoction you mentioned just now? What are the ingredients?"

Fu Yin had prepared for a long time and presented the prescription. He saw the name of the medicinal materials on it, velvet antler, walnut kernel, dodder seed, cypress kernel, cnidium fruit, Schisandra chinensis, cistanche, epimedium... It seems that they are all common medicinal materials for invigorating the kidney and strengthening yang.

Fu Yin said: "This pharmacy is said to be the secret recipe of Huichuntang. The lower official has ordered someone to look at it. These medicinal materials are for nourishing the kidney and strengthening yang, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Gu Huaiqing interjected, "Is there still the residue of the decoction?"

Fu Yin said: "It should still be in the kitchen, do you want to check?"

"Of course I want it!" Gu Huaiqing glanced at Duan Mingchen provocatively, turned around and ordered to Dongchang's subordinates, "Go and call Dr. Shi from the Imperial Medical Center."

Although Duan Mingchen felt that it was a bit of a fuss to specially invite the imperial doctor to test the dregs of the medicine, but since Gu Huaiqing wanted to show off like this, he would not stop him.

Duan Mingchen covered the corpse with a white cloth, raised his head, and checked around the room, flipping through the books on the table, smelling the ashes in the incense burner, with an inscrutable expression on his face.

Gu Huaiqing asked several times, but was ignored by Duan Mingchen, and he couldn't help but hold back his anger.He couldn't get angry with Duan Mingchen, and when he looked back at the Fu Yin shrunk his neck, standing aside timidly, he suddenly became angry.

Gu Huaiqing looked disgusted, and waved his hands like chasing flies: "Master Fu Yin, it's none of your business here, please go back!"

Duan Mingchen glanced at Gu Huaiqing with displeasure, and said with a pleasant face: "Thank you, Mr. Fu Yin, for the clues. Your Majesty has ordered Jin Yiwei to thoroughly investigate the case. Leave the rest to me."

Gu Huaiqing did not forget to add: "Dongchang will also assist in the investigation, so be sure to find out the truth of the case!"

The governor of Shuntian Mansion was eager to let go of this hard work, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if the two adults jointly investigate the case, it will definitely be successful!"

Unexpectedly, when Duan Mingchen and Gu Huaiqing heard the word "joint forces", they both frowned at the same time, but Shuntian Fu Yin couldn't care less, and hurriedly handed over this hot potato and left.
