Chapter 236: Shen Lang’s ultimate counter-kill!
Translator: 549690339
As soon as these words came out, the expression of the Heishui chiliarch tuxedo changed drastically.
“That’s impossible. He couldn’t have killed noble he.”
“Why not?” asked Li Jing, the chief eunuch.
eunuch Li, you might not know this, but we’ve sent more than 20 people to protect he zhanzhang. There are both men and women. They’re always with him, ” the man in the swallow-tailed coat said.
“At the resting point in lang County, he Wanwan came to see me alone,” Shen lang said.
“That’s because your Warriors have blocked everyone outside and only allowed noble he to enter,” Yan Weiyi replied.
“Continue,” Li Jing said.
Yan Weiyi said,”three days ago, noble he didn’t eat dinner. He only drank some rice wine and went into his room to write a letter.” Because he has to write a letter to His Majesty every three days. We’re only responsible for delivering the letter, and we can’t read a single word. After she finished writing the letter, she laid down and went to sleep. Our men were just outside the door.”
“No blind spots?” Li Jing asked.
“Yes, there are no blind spots at all,” Yan Weiyi said. There are people outside the door, outside the window, and on the roof. Not even a fly can fly in, let alone a person.”
“How did she commit suicide?” Li Jing asked.
“Take the poison, red alum,” Yan Weiyi said.
Red alum was arsenic. It was extremely toxic and could cause death by 0.1 grams.
“Someone, go to the palace and get a female doctor to examine the body,” Li Jing said.
“Yes!” A eunuch left in a hurry.
Because he Zhan Zhan used to be the monarch’s woman, he could only let a woman examine the body.
There were no specialized forensic doctors in this world, and there was no coroner. Low-status corpses would be examined by coroners, while high-status people would be examined by doctors.
Li Sun didn’t ask Zhang Ji why he had determined that he Junjun was killed. Everything could wait until the autopsy was done.
“Continue with the trial.” Li Jing said.
“What about the stripping of Shen Lang’s title and the torture?” the junior official of the Supreme Court asked.
Li Jing said, ” there’s no rush. If he zonggu was killed, then these two cases are not the same. We’ll first investigate whether Shen lang lied to the Emperor.
..................
The joint hearing of the three divisions continued.
The Supreme Court was the main judge, the black water station was the assistant Judge, and the Censorate was the supervisor.
Eunuch Li Sun was sitting on the side, supervising on behalf of the palace.
However, there were two more people outside the court. They were the third Princess, Ning Yan, and the Empire’s Ambassador, Yun mengze. The reason why they rushed in was to stop someone from torturing Shen lang. They could not change the outcome.
“Shen lang, you’ve already confessed that you wrote the poem” when will the bright moon appear,”right?” the official of the Supreme Court said coldly.
“Yes,” Shen lang replied.
“Then why did you sell this poem to a noble?”
“Acting cool, picking up girls, and taking revenge on li wenzheng,” Shen lang said.
The junior official of the Supreme Court couldn’t help but be startled when he heard the first two words.
What was posturing?
He could recognize these two words separately, but he didn’t know what they meant when they were put together.
However, when he heard the latter two reasons, he was overjoyed.
Great, Shen lang, you finally confessed.
The judicial office’s junior official slammed the gavel on the table and said sternly, Shen lang, you finally confessed. You did it to take revenge on li wenzheng.
“That’s right, I did it to take revenge on li wenzheng,” Shen lang said.
“Then how did you frame the noble he Tongxi? how did you bury the villain who cursed the Crown Prince under li wenzheng’s bed?” Speak!”
Shen lang said, ” I’m talking about picking up girls. It’s because everyone is very beautiful. Of course, I’ll like them. I wanted to take revenge on li wenzheng because I knew that li wenzheng admired he yunhan very much. So, I gave he yunhan the poem ‘when will the bright moon appear’ in the hope of moving his heart and winning over the beauty. I wanted to make li wenzheng vomit blood because I wanted to snatch his beloved woman.”
Everyone was stunned by his words.
Shen lang said,”can’t I do that?” At that time, he Zhan Zhan didn’t know the monarch, so can’t I pursue him from a distance?”
Ugh!
This was a matter of adding flowers to a brocade.
I pursued he Yingluo from a distance, intending to take revenge on li wenzheng.
So what if the king knew?
I, Shen lang, didn’t fail to catch up with he Wanwan.
The woman that I couldn’t pursue, you, ning yuanxian, have her at your beck and call. Are you not awesome enough?
This was equivalent to having a girlfriend with many men in love, but she only loved me and didn’t even look at other men. As a man, he would only feel secretly happy.
“Shen lang, you’re still trying to deny it?” the official of the court of judicial review shouted. You were the one who used he Zhan Yu to kill li wenzheng and buried the vile person who cursed the Crown Prince under li wenzheng’s bed.”
that doesn’t make sense, ” Shen lang said. why would I kill li wenzheng? ”
because at Zhang Jin’s engagement banquet, Li Wen Zheng accused you of rebellion and wrote a Tibetan poem in your book. In the poem, there were the words ” God’s punishment ” and ” God’s punishment “. He wanted to kill you, so you took revenge.
Shen lang said, ” that’s true. However, I already took revenge on the spot. When li wenzheng colluded with Jin Jun, he was so scared that he twitched on the spot. I thought he was dead for sure. After all, he admitted in public that he colluded with the king of the south to beat up Jin Jun. Why did I have to do anything unnecessary?”
There was a good reason for this.
At that time, many people thought that Li Wen Zheng would die without a doubt.
After all, at the banquet that night, li wenzheng had publicly admitted that he was close to Jinjun.
But who would have thought that the monarch had only fined Li Wen Zheng his salary in order to deal with the Jin clan?
The case suddenly came to a dead end.
Shen Lang’s words made sense.
I sold the poems to he Wanwan for the sake of acting cool, to pick up girls, and to snatch li wenzheng’s love. Is there anything wrong with this?
Can’t everyone see how I, Shen lang, am?
How did that invincible demoness Chou Yao ‘er get pregnant?
‘Even Grandmaster xueyin is rumored to have an affair with me.’
The third widow, Princess Ning Yan, is also sitting outside. She even attacked the court of judicial review for me.
“Let’s wait for the autopsy!” Eunuch Li Sun said.
At this stage of the case, the autopsy was the most important.
If he Zhan Zhan had really committed suicide, then her will would be the evidence. A person who would rather die to prove his innocence would not lie.
In that case, Shen lang would not be able to clear his name no matter how he quibbled.
After all, in he Wanwan’s will, she said that Shen lang was the one who caused everything.
The most serious crime was that Shen lang had destroyed her innocence.
This sentence had never been questioned in court, because it could not be mentioned.
Many people knew about this, but they just couldn’t say it.
Therefore, as long as he tai Yan committed suicide, Shen lang would not be able to escape the blame. It was useless to talk about it as he would not be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the sea.
But if he Zhan Zhan was the murderer, there was still a chance of survival.
....................................
In the Marquis Zhenyuan’s mansion.
Su Nan had a complete grasp of the progress of the interrogation at the court of judicial review.
There were specialized people who wrote down the entire interrogation record and sent it to the Marquis Zhenyuan’s residence.
He finished reading dozens of pages of the interrogation record.
“Zhang Ye is looking for trouble. Should we do something to his son? Touch his grandson?” Su jianting said.
He spoke in a very flat tone, not taking a mere right doctor of the Censorate seriously.
This was probably the vision of the top nobles, who almost regarded most people as grass.
“There’s no need for that at the moment.” Su Nan shook his head.
“Shen Lang’s concubine is pregnant in the Jin family’s courtyard. Should we do something to her?” su jianting said.
“There’s no need for that at the moment.” “Are you sure he Zhan Zhan committed suicide?” su Nan shook his head.
Su jianting said, ” absolutely. I didn’t touch a single finger of hers. She wrote the will in front of me. She wrote every word herself. She also drank the tea mixed with arsenic.
Why would he Wanwan drink tea with arsenic in it?
This was because she did not know that it was white arsenic. She thought that it was the soulless powder from stupa mountain.
This was also a kind of poison. After drinking it, the whole person would fall asleep and die without pain.
If it was only a single drop, he could still be saved if he was treated in time.
He Zhan Yu’s suicide was merely a risk.
Firstly, she wanted to take revenge on Shen lang. Secondly, she wanted to use suicide to gain the trust and sympathy of the monarch and clear her name. This way, she might be able to return to the monarch’s side and enjoy a life of luxury.
Su jianting dripped a drop of stupa mountain’s soul dissipation powder into the tea in front of her and vowed that he would save her in time.
Su Fei would also help her return to the capital. After that, the two of them would work together to keep concubine Bian in check in the harem.
He tai tai had gone all out. He had been blinded by hatred and greed.
To actually cooperate with the SU family was like asking a Tiger for its skin.
Su jianting had already smeared a layer of arsenic on the edge of the teacup, and a little bit of it would have killed him.
After drinking the tea of his own free will, he Zhan Zhan did not return to the king’s side. Instead, he died mysteriously.
Therefore, su jianting was sure that it was foolproof.
father, Shen lang will definitely die this time. No matter how much we investigate, he Zhan committed suicide.
Shen lang, this idiot. He went through so much trouble to kill li wenzheng and left us with such a huge flaw. He’s really courting death.
he’s dead for sure this time. Ning yuanxian is selfish and mean. He used to like Shen lang so much and can’t tolerate betrayal. He’ll definitely be executed.
His trusted aide, Su Yong, said,”raging tide city is isolated overseas. If the king execute Shen lang, will the Jin family rebel?” Would the monarch not kill Shen lang because of this?”
Su mo said, ” the Jin family can’t be bothered with a rebellion. Many people want the Jin family to be exterminated. Their family is going to be in trouble soon.
His trusted aide Su Yong said,”what kind of trash is the Jin family?” You actually want to be on equal footing with our su clan? You must be dreaming!”
“Send two groups of people, one to Wu country and the other to Qiang country. Just in case.”
“Yes!”
Su mo said, ” even if Shen lang is convicted, ning yuanxian might not kill Shen lang for the sake of the Jin family. He will probably sentence Shen lang to death. However, Shen lang must die. We can make some arrangements in advance. Even if he is sentenced to death, we can just let him die.
Corruption punishment was castration.
“Yes, even cows, horses, pigs, and sheep can die from cutting them up, let alone humans?” I will definitely let Shen Lang’s wound rot and then die a tragic death.”
................................................
Four female medical officers came from the palace, and eldest Princess ning Jie finally arrived.
Of course, she did not come to save Shen lang.
She did not care about Shen Lang’s life.
It was the emperor’s order that ning Jie came to supervise the autopsy.
The next step was to determine if he tai tai had committed suicide.
If he was killed, Shen lang would still have a chance of survival. If it was a suicide, Shen lang would not be able to clear his name.
The four female medical officers furrowed their brows as they examined every part of he tai Tai’s body.
Eldest Princess ning Jie was supervising everything on the side.
Everyone outside held their breath, waiting for the result.
The results of the autopsy would directly determine the fate of many people.
Ning Meng was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
However, Shen lang was very calm.
The head eunuch Li Xun closed his eyes and continued to cross the string in his hands.
He only dared to play with this bracelet when he left the palace. He would put it away completely in the palace and would never take it out.
He had not slept for several days and nights, and his energy was greatly exhausted.
As for the junior official of the Supreme Court and the thousand-man swallow-tailed coat of the black water platform, they were waiting for the result with burning eyes.
Once he determined that he Zhan Zhan had committed suicide ...
Shen lang would be finished.
There was no use in quibbling.
A person who was about to die had good words.
He tai Yan would rather commit suicide to expose Shen lang. This was enough.
In this case, the so-called evidence was not the most important. The emperor’s intention was the most important.
Tuxedo was sneering in his heart.
The black water tower had checked he tai Tai’s body many times and concluded that it was a suicide.
It was simply a dream to turn it into a homicide!
......................................................
After a full half an hour.
The four female medical officers examined every part of he Zhan Zhan’s body.
Then, he walked out of the court.
“Milords, I’m certain that he Zhan Zhan committed suicide!”
As soon as he said this, someone was surprised.
Some people were shocked.
Ning Meng almost rushed in. How could it be suicide?
If he tai Yan committed suicide, Shen lang would be finished.
“This case is of great importance, we must investigate it thoroughly,” Li Sun said.
The four female doctors said, ” it’s confirmed to be a suicide. There’s a metallic smell in the victim’s mouth, his esophagus is severely corroded, his feces are stained with blood, and there are burning and bloodshot scars in his rectum. All of these are symptoms of arsenic poisoning. Not only that, there are no other injuries on the body, nor any signs of struggle.”
we’ve checked, ” Yan Weiyi said. from writing the will to drinking the poisoned tea, noble he took the initiative. There are no signs of being forced. Moreover, after drinking the poisoned tea, she was still quietly lying on the bed waiting for death. She was wearing the dress that she had seen His Majesty for the first time. Her intention to commit suicide was already very obvious.”
“Your Highness, what do you think?” eunuch Li Sun asked.
“I’ve supervised the entire autopsy process, and the results are true and effective,” eldest Princess ning Jie said.
Her sentence was almost a death sentence for Shen lang.
Ning Meng’s expression changed.
This was her aunt? Was this the master she respected the most?
He did not have any intention of helping Shen lang and insisted that he Zhan Zhan committed suicide. He was indirectly trying to kill Shen lang.
The official of the court of judicial review sneered,”Shen lang, what else do you have to say?” She was willing to use her death to prove her innocence. She had no parents and no one in this world could threaten her. Therefore, every word in her will was from her heart, and her will was the irrefutable evidence.”
Then, he looked at Zhang Ji and said coldly, ” “Lord Zhang, this noble he clearly committed suicide, but you insist that he was killed. Could it be that you are in cahoots with Shen lang? Third Prince, eunuch Li, I feel that the right physician of the Censorate, Zhang Ji, is no longer qualified to supervise the joint trial of this case. Furthermore, he is suspected of colluding with the criminal. I think he needs to return to the Supreme Court’s prison.”
Eunuch Li, can you now strip Shen lang of his title and torture him to make him confess everything? ”
Li sun’s eyes trembled. Zhang Ji, you’re not a doctor. Why are you so sure that he Zhan Zhan was killed and not killed? ” she asked.
The black water tower’s swallow-tailed coat said, ” Lord Zhang Ji wants to exonerate Shen lang. The two of them have long been in cahoots. He is an accomplice. Eunuch li, please report to His Majesty and take him down.
“Everyone, what will happen after I take the White arsenic?” Zhang Ji stood up and asked.
“Of course he will die,” Yan Weiyi replied.
Zhang Ye said,”it will be extremely painful. The entire stomach and esophagus will be burned. Not only will you lose control of your bladder and defecate blood, but you will also vomit.” It was as if he was being tortured, and his entire body would be twisted. Everyone, please take a look. He Zhan Zhan died very calmly, as if he didn’t feel any pain at all. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had lost control of his bladder and defecated blood, he would have fallen asleep. Why is that?”
Everyone was stunned by his words.
The four female medical officers also nodded.
It was extremely painful to consume arsenic, and ordinary people could not bear it, let alone a weak woman like he zhanzhan.
He wouldn’t be able to die so peacefully.
Zhang Ye said,”unless there’s some other poison in the tea, a poison that will cause one to lose all consciousness after taking it. Is there such a poison?”
“Yes, it’s the soulless powder from stupa mountain,” eldest Princess ning Jie said.
“Noble he is a person who loves beauty and wants to die in peace, so he placed this soul scattering powder in order to maintain his composure before death. Isn’t that normal?” the junior official of the Supreme Court replied.
Shen lang said, ” of course it’s not normal. If you want to commit suicide, you can just use the soul scattering powder. If you want to die, you will definitely die after using two drops. Why do you need to consume arsenic?”
“Is the soul scattering powder a rare poison?” Zhang Ye asked.
Ning Jie nodded and said,”very rare.” &Nbsp;
“Noble he was imprisoned, so how could he have obtained the rare poison from stupa mountain?” Zhang Ye asked.
“The so-called soul dissipation powder from stupa mountain is just your own conjecture. There is no evidence at all,” the junior official of the Supreme Court said.
we’ve also examined noble he’s Cup, ” said Yan Weiyi, a thousand-man commander of the Heishui station. there’s only residual arsenic in it. There’s no such thing as the dispel soul powder from stupa mountain.
This was the amazing part of stupa mountain.
The soulstealing powder was a highly volatile liquid. It must be sealed at all times, but once exposed to the air, it would evaporate completely within an hour or two, leaving no trace.
“Can I have a look at noble he’s will?” Zhang Ye asked.
The great eunuch Li Sun hesitated for a long time.
There were some uncouth contents in this will that were not suitable for a foreign official to read.
But he still decided to take it out and give it to Zhang Ji.
Shen lang, you little brat, we should have beaten you to death, but we have helped you time and time again.
Zhang Ji took the will and read it carefully.
“If it is possible, Your Majesty can cut open chenqie’s stomach and see if chenqie’s heart is red or white.”
Zhang Ye read this out loud.
“Does noble he’s words mean something?” Zhang Ye said.
“Not really,” Li Jing said,”noble he always says this in his letters to His Majesty.”
Zhang Ye said,”but this sentence on the will seems to have been scratched by a nail, and there’s a red mark. It seems to be reminding us of something.”
Li Sun was stunned.
At this moment, third Prince Ning Qi and eldest Princess ning Jie both walked over.
Under the sunlight, the few of them carefully read the will.
It really was!
The words “cut open this Minister’s concubine’s stomach” had nail marks and a bit of red. This was the red of a woman’s nail.
Moreover, his nails were the red color that he Yunyan used.
Everyone couldn’t help but look into he tai Tai’s stomach.
Did this will mean that he Zhan Zhan wanted someone to cut open her stomach?
Was there something in her stomach?
Li Sun shook her head. what if it’s just a coincidence? I can’t make the decision for something like a C-section. I have to report it to His Majesty.
Then, he stood up. my Lords, please wait a moment. I’ll report to His Majesty now. Let him decide whether to perform a C-section or not.
With that, the head eunuch Li Shan galloped off on his horse and headed towards the North.
Shen Lang’s heart warmed up.
This eunuch was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He had been helping Shen lang from the beginning.
Of course, he might not have a good impression of Shen lang.
It was because he was loyal to the monarch. He could see it clearly and did not want su Nan to succeed.
..........................................
After running for dozens of miles!
The head eunuch, Li Sun, met the monarch’s guard of honor. After getting off his horse, he rushed into the monarch’s carriage.
At this moment, the monarch could not take it anymore and was sleeping on the bed.
Your Majesty, please! Li Sun called out in a low voice.
The king, ning yuanxian, trembled and suddenly woke up.
“Old dog, how’s the case going? Did Shen lang confess?”
Li Sun knelt on the ground and told him everything.
Then, he handed over he Zhan Zhan’s will and said, ” “The words” cut open this Minister’s concubine’s stomach “on noble he’s will indeed have nail marks and there is also the Vermillion red that noble he often applied. However, this old servant feels that this might just be a coincidence. The matter of C-section is too serious and I dare not make a decision. I will leave it to Your Majesty to make a decision.”
The king shone his light on the sun.
As expected.
He had always written this line in he Zhan’s letters, but he didn’t pay much attention to it.
Moreover, there wasn’t enough light that night, so they didn’t find this trace.
There were indeed nail marks on the words.
Was this a reminder? Or was it a coincidence?
If it was a reminder, it meant that she had been forced to write this will, so she had secretly scratched these words with her nails.
The monarch asked,’why did Shen lang sell the poem’ when will the bright moon appear ‘to he Zhonggong? Say it again.”
“He said that he wanted to act cool, pick up girls, and take revenge on li wenzheng,” Li Jing said.
“What do you think?” the monarch asked.
“Yingluo is indeed such a frivolous person,” Li Jing said.”He has no sense of shame.”
Normally, after a person died, they would pay attention to the ground and not destroy the corpse.
However, ning yuanxian was a mean person. He was most concerned about the case where Shen lang deceived the Emperor and cursed the Crown Prince in an attempt to stir up factional disputes. He was even angrier about the fact that Shen lang might have destroyed he zongqian’s chastity in advance.
But how deep were his feelings for he Zhan Zhan? That might not be the case.
“Then let’s do a C-section and see what’s inside.” The monarch said.
“Yes!” Li Sun was about to turn around and leave for the court of judicial review.
“Old dog, why are you helping Shen lang so eagerly?” the monarch suddenly asked.
The head eunuch, Li Jing, said,”I’m not trying to help Shen lang. I just don’t want someone to succeed.” Shen lang is just a frivolous little dog, Yingying.”
“Old dog, there’s a hidden meaning in your words,” the monarch said.
Li Sun knelt on the ground.
“Go on, cut open He Yingying’s stomach and see what’s inside.” The monarch said.
Li Sun mounted her horse and quickly went south.
......................................................
Two hours later!
The chief eunuch Li Shen got off his horse with difficulty.
He had not slept for four days and three nights.
It was as if his entire person was about to collapse.
Princess ning Meng stepped forward and carried him down.
third Princess, you can’t, you can’t. Not only is there a difference between men and women, but this old servant is also a lowly person. Li Sun said hurriedly.
“What kind of man are you, a eunuch?” Ning Zheng, the Furious Tiger, said.
As soon as he said that, the Empire’s Ambassador, Yun mengze, covered his face in pain.
Stupid woman, if you don’t know how to talk, then don’t talk nonsense.
It was clearly good words, clearly out of concern, but when it came out of your mouth, it would only make people hate you to death.
Fortunately, Li Sun was old and didn’t care about this anymore. She just chuckled.
“His Majesty has ordered us to cut open he honggong’s abdomen and examine it thoroughly,” he announced loudly as he walked into the hall.
“Yes!” The four female medical officers knelt down.
Then, under eldest Princess ning Jie and great eunuch Li sun’s surveillance, four female doctors cut open he shaogan’s stomach and opened it up.
It was really a tragic sight.
Of course, it was scary to have a stomach that was poisoned by white arsenic.
He first washed it with a large amount of clean water for a few minutes.
He tai Tai’s stomach was finally cleaned.
there’s something inside. Something is in there, ” a female doctor said.
take it out! great eunuch Li Sun stood up. don’t destroy it!
The Female Medical Officer carefully used the rack to pick out the thing and placed it in a silver basin.
This was a wax ball, about the thickness of a thumb, and only wax balls would not be corroded by jokes.
Li Sun personally brought the wax pill over.
there is indeed something in he Wanwan’s stomach. This is the wax pill I took from her stomach. She took it before drinking the poisonous tea.
Everyone exclaimed!
Especially the junior official of the Supreme Court and tuxedo of the Heishui terrace. Their expressions changed drastically.
There were wax pills in he Wanwan’s stomach?
This? What was going on?
“Next, I’ll open this wax pill in front of the Lords,” Li Sun said.
Then, Li Sun put on a pair of gloves and peeled the wax pill open bit by bit.
There was a thin piece of goatskin inside with a line of words written on it.
The handwriting was already a little blurry, but it was still recognizable. It was definitely he Zhonggong’s handwriting.
Your Majesty, su jianting harmed me, stained me, and forced me to slander Shen lang!
There was only one word at the end of the line-silent!
The female medical officers were stunned. This noble he didn’t show any signs of being humiliated?
Immediately after, a Female Medical Officer rushed back to the silent room to examine him.
After a quick interrogation, the Female Medical Officer returned to the hall and reported, ” “My Lords, noble he might have been tainted before he died, but we couldn’t detect it just now. We thought it was arsenic.”
Everyone was shocked. Was su jianting crazy? Not only did he kill someone, he even had to do such a thing?
Was The King’s Woman that attractive? You’re crazy!
Shen lang was also shocked. Aunt Xue Yin, you are indeed not the Saint. You are really capable of doing anything.
