Chapter 120 Meteorite, The Last Judgment
As soon as he entered the inner room, his first intention was to see a few corpses covered by white cloth. Mu Qingling's eyes calmly passed through these corpses, and there was no appearance on her face that Lord Xu and others who followed him in were frightened and frightened. As a doctor, the one he faced the most was undoubtedly the separation of life and death of the patients in his hands.
Ji Xia stepped forward and took the lead in lifting the white cloth covering the first corpse. What was presented to everyone was not the corpse that had long been rotten. To be precise, the human body would gradually decay soon after it died. However, the corpse in front of him showed no sign of this, and he had never seen the simplest corpse spots. This is not common sense for a person who has been dead for several years.
"Sure enough, there are some tricks." Ji Xia raised his eyebrows lightly.
Mu Qingling also looked at these details and spoke lightly, "Although some drugs do have the effect of slowing down the decay of the body, they will definitely not last two years, let alone preserved so well."
Ji Xia nodded, "Yes, no matter how effective the medicine is, it cannot be as good as the corpse raising beads used to preserve corpses." Moreover, the corpse raising beads are extremely precious and not everyone can afford it, even noble families are no exception. Usually only royal family members use it.
Everyone was silent. They naturally heard about what the corpse-raising bead was. As for what this thing looked like, it was unknown.
Ji Xia rubbed her chin and said thoughtfully: "I suddenly had an idea. The reason why these corpses were preserved so perfectly is that the person who took them to try medicine wanted to practice the medicine for immortality."
Lord Xu was shocked, "Can it be..."
Mu Qingling smiled lightly and shook her head, "The Way of Eternal Life is just a rumor that spreads rumors, how can it really exist?"
"Then they..."
Ji Xia shrugged, "Although the way of immortality is illusory, it does not mean that some people with greed will not use any means to achieve it."
Speaking of this, Ji Xia's lips raised slightly invisibly, with a hint of mockery.
People in the world are greedy for immortality, but the Yan family’s medical skills have been passed down for a hundred years, so it is impossible not to understand that this is purely nonsense.
Mu Qingling's expression changed for a moment, obviously the same problem as Ji Xia thought of. If this was the case, the Yan family suffered a loss this time and suffered a bad consequence.
"If you follow Mr. Ji's statement, will the other party be half successful?" Lord Shen said in a deep voice.
Ji Xia couldn't help rolling his eyes. Could it be that this person couldn't understand human words? He said that the way of immortality does not exist at all, and he asked!
"Mr. Shen is afraid that he doesn't know that these corpses are in good condition. It does not mean that the way of immortality of Lao Shizi is about to be realized, but the illusion that these corpses are caused by too much poison in their bodies. Believe me, at most half a year, these corpses will slowly turn into corpses, and the corpses will be completely gone. Of course, if someone is not afraid of death, just try the pills that have been tested on them. As for the consequences..." Ji Xia pointed to several corpses, and her handsome face was full of malice, "It is definitely unforgettable for life."
Lord Shen's face turned blue and white. Anyone with discerning eyes knew who he was targeting for the last sentence.
Looking at Lord Shen's look of being angry but not speaking, Mu Qingling silently thought: Ji Xia was definitely intentional. Although these corpses changed a little in the last few, they would definitely not reach the level he said.
"So I don't know what Mr. Ji will do later." Mr. Xu spoke at the right time, resolving the awkward atmosphere.
Ji Xia said lightly: "It's very simple. Whether you are born in a medical family or a doctor alone, you actually have your own unique habits and techniques. As long as you find this detail, everything will be easy. In addition, some herbs are not something that everyone can use. I will check these corpses with the princess separately, and several adults will wait patiently for the news." After pausing, Ji Xia turned her head and said to Mu Qingling, "The two female corpses will be the princess."
Mu Qingling nodded slightly, "No problem."
Ji Xia walked towards the four male corpses. Mu Qingling also walked to the other side, lifting the white cloth with a calm expression. The one presented in front of her was the same as the first corpse.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Mu Qingling did not rush to do it, but quietly observed the facial features of the two women. On the other hand, Ji Xia had already found a few things from her body and started her own movements. Such a sharp contrast made the adults present show such disdainful gazes.
However, it was not for everyone to wait for a long time. Mu Qingling began to observe the five fingers of the two women again. Due to the drug, not only did the body not corrupt, but there were also some new and old marks without any trace of damage. With just one glance, Mu Qingling could confirm that in the last poisonous attack, the two women must have suffered great pain, so that their nails broke due to the tight grasp of something, and most of the debris remained. Rather than saying that they died of toxicity, they were tortured by pain.
Mu Qingling pulled a hairpin between her hair, picked out a little bit of the debris inside the female corpse, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently, with a serious expression, "Flying Wood."
Meteorite is not common. This plant grows in swamp areas. The plant is half a person tall, but it is thick with one fist. The most important thing is that the trunk of the plant is dark red, while the leaves are green similar to black. Although the stamen of this plant is of high quality among many precious herbs, the leaves are a holy medicine for poison making. As for the trunk, it will emit an aroma. If you smell this fragrance frequently, within a few months, the person will forget his identity and family. Gradually, even consciousness may be dominated by others. Therefore, most of this plant is mainly used by people to make poison.
Falling means falling, falling, and it also means death.
If a person loses even his self-awareness, he is undoubtedly the same as a walking zombie. This is the source of the name of the meteorite.
"Frozen wood, this is interesting. However, although this kind of thing is not common, Lingzhou is located in a mountainous river, and there are many swamps in this place, so compared to other places, meteoric wood is more common in this place than in other places." Ji Xia raised his head and said thoughtfully: "Mr. Xu, do you know if the Yan family has any connection with Lingzhou."
Lord Xu said in a deep voice: "Lingzhou is the ancestral home of the Yan family."
Ji Xia raised her eyebrows, it was true!
Mu Qingling said lightly: "Often people don't use material like meteorite. Lord Xu can send someone to Yan's house to look for it. As long as you find that it is dark red, Lord Xu can send someone to bring it back. I will distinguish it from Mr. Ji at that time."
Lord Xu nodded, whispered a few words to Lord Yu, and then turned around and left, obviously intending to take people to the Yan family to find the moorwood in person.
As for the opinions of the three grandparents of the Yan family, sorry, as the defendant, no one will listen to their opinions at this time.
The autopsy continued. As Mu Qingling and Ji Xia got more and more clues on the body, the three grandparents and grandchildren of the Yan family looked even more ugly.
Especially Yan Wenxi, at this time, he felt chill all over as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Because he knew that once the Yan family's crime was confirmed in the end, the one who waited for him would definitely be ruined and even cursed by the people of the world.
As a descendant of the Yan family, he knew most of the things about the Yan family, and taking someone to test medicine is no exception, but at this moment he felt a little resentful of his grandfather.
Why did he do such a self-destructive thing? Not only did he destroy the entire family, but he even lost his reputation in the end and everyone could step on him.
When Mu Qingling and Ji Xia and others returned to Dali Temple together, Lord Xu also searched for various types of decorations from the Yan family. The only feature of these things is that they are dark red all over. It is exactly the meteorite wood that Mu Qingling mentioned before.
In addition, Lord Xu also brought several unexpected evidence when he went to the Yan family this time.
"Master Yan, what else do you have to say?" Lord Xu looked at the next head indifferently as if he had become nearly ten years old in an instant. If the Master Yan is really a kind and kind doctor, then he is willing to give him some respect. But... Lord Xu shook his head regretfully in his heart.
The Yan family leader was still a little unwilling to give up, "Mr. Xu, although the Yan family has a fallen tree, it does not mean..."
"Is that true? So what explanation should the head of the Yan family give?" Lord Xu took out a porcelain bottle from his hand and said lightly.
This bottle of medicine was found from the secret compartment of the study when Lord Xu went to Yan's house to look for the meteorite. When he brought it back, Mu Qingling had already taken the lead in checking it, which was consistent with the drug residues extracted from the corpses.
Lord Xu slowly played with the porcelain bottle in his hand and said lightly: "Master Yan, please don't tell me the official, this is what you got from elsewhere."
The head of the Yan family looked stiff and could not say a word for a long time. He stared at the porcelain bottle in Lord Xu's hand and regretted it. If he had known this, he would have treated this bottle of medicine as soon as possible.
"It seems that the head of the Yan family has nothing to say. Since that's the case, let's talk about the Yan family buying murderers and assassinating the imperial court's official position." Lord Xu's face suddenly became cold, "Come, bring someone to the criminal."
Not long after, two middle-aged men in their early forties and wearing prison uniforms were escorted to the court by the yamen runners. When they saw the appearance of these two middle-aged men, the head of the Yan family felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
Mr. Xu, who had been paying attention to the change in his expression, pulled a mockery from the corner of his lips, "In order to stop his official and Lord Yu and others, he went to Jialin County to find out the truth, you tried your best to instruct the deacons in the mansion to bribe the killer and assassinate the imperial officials. Do you know that this is the only point that you cannot be punished."
Lord Yu continued with a sarcastic sentence, "Fortunately, I am lucky and my life escaped a disaster, otherwise it would be hard to imagine that the one who demanded my life was the benevolent Yan family."
The five fingers under the sleeve of the Yan family were tightly clenched. The appearance of the two people in front of him had made him unable to deny it. It would be nice to say that they were just unknown people, but the bad thing was that they were deacons with some status in the mansion. It was precisely because they were reliable in their work that the interception and killing of Lord Xu and others was handed over to them. However, the Yan family leader never expected that he had not waited for news from them for a long time. When they met again, they had become prisoners.
"In addition, they have confessed about the jade pendant. This jade pendant is indeed the property of your Yan family. As for the so-called kindness, benevolence, hum..., the head of the Yan family knows it in his heart." Lord Xu picked up the jade pendant in his hand and put it down, and continued: "They have confessed too. The corpses were handled by the two of them under your order two years ago. Originally, you meant that the corpses were directly destroyed after cremation. As for why they appeared in Jialin County, the head of the Yan family should know it in his heart."
After all, it should be because someone disliked the Yan family, so he left such conspicuous evidence. As for who the Yan family offended, only they understand.
"There are still many physical evidence here. The head of the Yan family should not want this official to come out one by one." At the end, Lord Xu spoke lightly.
Under Lord Xu's continuous blow, the head of the Yan family turned pale, his trembling lips were unable to say a word, and a mouthful of blood finally couldn't help but gush out.
"Yan's family... is ruined..." The head of the Yan family fell back uncontrollably, his eyes turbid, and he had more intakes and less air.
"Father."
"grandfather."
Two terrifying voices rang out at the same time
Yan Yuanwei quickly supported the head of the Yan family who fainted with his eyes, and his eyes were full of grief. He had said long ago that if the Yan family continued to act against each other, they would sooner or later suffer the consequences, but they did not expect so quickly.
The only few evidence that Lord Xu has brought out left them with nothing to say, let alone those that have not been brought out.
The Yan family is really ruined!
Seeing Yan Wenxi completely stunned after looking at him, Ji Xia sighed and had to come forward to take the pulse of the Yan family. Even if the Yan family committed an unforgivable sin, it would definitely not be wise to let him, an old man over 60 years old, die in court at this time.
"Young Master Ji, how about it?" Lord Xu said in a deep voice.
Ji Xia took back his hand and was silent for a while before saying, "It's okay for the time being." However, the head of the Yan family is old and after repeated attacks, even if it's okay at this time, there will be no time left.
Lord Xu understood what Ji Xia meant and nodded, "I'm working hard for Mr. Ji."
Finally, when he looked at the head of the Yan family, everyone present couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Once a moment of prosperity, but now in his old age... I don't know if he should sigh and make people shine or say that he can't live a life of his own sin.
