For a moment, everyone in the hall looked at Du Yanbo, with bright eyes.
Cui Li's face was cold and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
Du Yanbo is from the Ministry of Justice and is also his direct subordinate.
Once the witchcraft case breaks out, the Ministry of Justice will also be implicated, which is definitely not easy to deal with.
Cui Li now only hopes that Du Yanbo can give honest explanations and give as many clues as possible, otherwise he will be angry with His Majesty and the Ministry of Justice will not seek benefits!
Du Yanbo naturally knew this truth, and he knelt on the ground tremblingly: "Yes."
Then, he took a deep breath and began to tell the story.
"This morning, Weichen was in the Ministry of Justice. Suddenly, he received an order from Lord Cui, asking Weichen to take the coroner and a group of people from the Ministry of Justice to go to the Shen family to investigate the sudden death of Mr. Shen. Weichen immediately took him to take him.
The person has gone.”
Cui Li also said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is the empress, I hurried to the palace gate when I heard the sound of the injustice. When I saw Lord Shen, I learned from him that Mr. Shen died suddenly last night, so I sent someone to pass on the order.
The Ministry of Justice went to investigate urgently.”
Emperor Zhaoming had a calm face and nodded slightly.
The Ministry of Justice is one of the three provinces and six ministries in the central and central provinces of the court, and is responsible for the institution in charge of punishment, government orders, and review of criminal names.
To put it simply, it is similar to the Public Security Bureau and is one of the highest judicial institutions in the court.
Unlike Jingzhao Prefecture, the Ministry of Justice is only responsible for reviewing major cases, and it is not the turn of the Ministry of Justice to take action for ordinary small cases.
Although the Shen family was seized, the title of the old marquis was still there. He is still the second-rank Wuhou in the Northern Qin Dynasty, and his status is second only to that of the royal relatives.
Such a big man suddenly died, which was completely within the scope of responsibility of the Ministry of Justice. As the top leader of the Ministry of Justice, Cui Li naturally had to send someone to investigate and confirm the authenticity of the case as soon as possible.
This approach is fine, and the important officials such as Ge Lao Wen didn't say anything.
The point is that after Du Yanbo led his people to the Shen family.
Du Yanbo suppressed his fear and continued, "After Weichen took his people to Shen Mansion, the butler of the Shen family received Weichen and others, and took Weichen to the residence of the old marquis...
Then, I saw the body of the old marquis who died suddenly.
I felt that the old marquis' death was unknown and there were many doubts, so I immediately asked the coroner to come forward to check."
Everyone in the hall listened very seriously.
Xiao Lingyue was no exception. She listened and thought secretly, hoping to find clues from it.
Coroner is an ancient forensic doctor who specializes in the examination of corpses.
Those who can hold a coronership position in the Ministry of Justice must be experienced and have seen a variety of ways to die.
Maybe you can find some flaws from it.
"After the preliminary examination of the coroner, there was no poisoning or external injuries on the body, and it was suspected that the steward of the Shen family insisted that the old marquis had no hidden disease on the body. The imperial physician had just checked his pulse not long ago and said that the old marquis had a
The Marquis's life is worry-free.
In order to confirm this, Weichen sent someone to find the imperial physician who took the old Marquis' pulse. The imperial physician showed that what the butler said was true."
When Du Yanbo said this, everyone in the hall frowned.
Mr. Wen asked, "So, did the old marquis really die of illness?"
Du Yanbo nodded heavily: "I'm afraid yes, but the specific cause of death still needs to be carefully examined by the coroner to find out."
The prince asked, "How did you find this witch doll?"
Du Yanbo replied: "It's because of an aunt named Hua!"
"..." Hearing this name, Shen Zhijiang, who was escorted to the ground, trembled all over and raised his head immediately. This chapter has been completed!
