"The lotus seed soup was sent by the regent himself, and I watched the emperor eat it with my own eyes."
Yu Zifu frowned: "The emperor's food always has to be tasted by the personal eunuch first. Why is no toxin detected?"
"The old slave wanted to test the poison, but the regent refused. He kept saying that the lotus seed soup was cold and unpalatable, so the old slave had to give in."
"The old slave didn't pay much attention to it at first, but now that I think about it carefully, there is clearly something fishy hidden in the lotus seed soup."
"If your lords don't believe it, you can ask the imperial doctor to investigate. We in Western Chu have regulations that after the death of the emperor, he must rest for seven days before he can move into the imperial mausoleum at an auspicious time. The emperor's dragon body is still there before the seven days are up.
In Longzhang Palace."
Li Xiu took a breath and continued: "Everything the old slave said is true. If he lies, he will be shattered to pieces and die badly!"
There was silence for a moment, and the people looked at each other in silence.
Everything today is full of twists and turns, and every turn is unbelievable.
The high-ranking lord suddenly became the murderer who poisoned the emperor. His mind was a little... unable to turn around.
"Bai Liyuan!" Yu Zifu's voice was cold: "How do you explain!"
Bailiyuan snorted coldly and remained silent.
"Does this count as your acquiescence?"
Yu Zifu nodded: "Very good! Mr. Fu, you are the chief judge today. You can take care of the rest of the matter."
Lin Chu half-browed his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows to look at Bailiyuan from a distance. Do you like this move?
Duanmulang's diet was poisoned with chronic poison.
His insides had been eroded step by step, and the lotus seed soup that night was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Lin Chu was not afraid of Bailiyuan's actions.
No matter how clever the poison is, there will always be clues left after being soaked in it for a long time. The reason why Bailiyuan boldly poisoned him was simply because he was sure that no one would dare to conduct an autopsy on the emperor.
However, if this matter is pointed out and put on the table, the situation will completely change.
In order to prove the cause of the emperor's death, an autopsy was necessary.
By then, how could Duanmulang's death from poisoning be covered up?
No matter how eloquent Bailiyuan is, he can only speak at a loss for words at this moment.
Saying one more word is a mistake!
Fu Ran grimaced for a long time. Did you know that there was a chief judge today?
He thinks that he is just a decoration in Dali Temple. Since he has been completely ignored by you, how about completely ignoring him?
Why... suddenly you think of him again?
Are you asking him to order the regent to be taken into custody? How dare he!
"this……."
Fu Ran hesitated for a long time, looking around wildly. You two talented people, how about you come up with an idea?
"The one who burned Hanmen Lane that day was the son of the dog official. Could it be that he also instigated this matter?"
"That's what I saw! In order to protect his son, the dog officer wanted to kill Mr. Lin Liu. Fortunately, God has eyes."
"It's time to arrest this dog officer and kill him!"
The courtroom was crowded with people, and a whisper came from nowhere. The next moment, the anger in the eyes of the people was ignited.
Everyone stared and shouted in unison.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Fu Ranjiu raised his hand to wipe his sweat.
He has been an official in Beijing for twenty years. Should he consider resigning and going back to his hometown? It is becoming increasingly difficult to become an official in Beijing!
"You unruly people!"
Bailiyuan raised his head with a sneer. The coldness and solemnity in his eyes aroused the coldness all over his body.
"Li Xiu, what you just said is all speculation, is there any evidence?"
"I am the regent, the biological father of the Queen Mother, and the Emperor's maternal grandfather. I am connected by blood with the Queen Mother and the Emperor. What reason is there to poison the late Emperor? Ridiculous!"
