Chapter 871
Wang Youfu agreed!
He nodded heavily.
A huge sum of two hundred taels, he had no reason to refuse! He must earn this money. Even if shit is hard to eat, money is hard to earn, at least don't have to worry about Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen defaulting on the debt.
Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen has credit, promised two hundred taels, wait until the job is done, he will give it to him without missing a penny. In this way, he can not only have a fat year. Plus the silver saved over the years, he can barely buy a few rooms in the place where he lives now, add some furniture, the whole family can make a few sets of new clothes, and the whole family can be completely settled.
He licked his dry lips, "Official, if inviting a helper, how much silver can the public account withdraw?"
"Fifty taels, no more." Chen Guanlou gestured with his fingers.
Wang Youfu pondered for a while, who can he invite to help with fifty taels of silver, a few names passed through his mind, "Can this subordinate withdraw fifty taels first."
"Yes! You want to invite a helper, I won't stop you. But ugly words are in front, if there is a slip, you are fully responsible."
"Official rest assured, the helper I want to invite is bold and ruthless enough. Lingchi dead people this job, definitely can do it cleanly and neatly, won't lose face for the Heavenly Prison, even more won't lose face for the official."
"That's very good! On the first day of execution, not only will there be people from the palace watching the execution, but all officials of the Ministry of Justice will come to watch the execution! Including the Minister. You should know the pros and cons here. This job can be done roughly, but must be bold, careful, and quick, don't let the officials be dissatisfied. Understand?"
"This subordinate understands! This subordinate will go find someone now!"
"Go!"
The most difficult link is solved. The follow-up is just disgusting, or disgusting.
Thinking of the upcoming scene, Chen Guanlou poured himself two cups of tea, still couldn't suppress the disgust in his stomach! It hadn't started yet, and he was so uncomfortable. When the day of the official execution comes, he didn't dare to imagine, he would vomit into a fool, right.
That bunch of disgusting things in the palace, really have talent, actually can think of such disgusting means to please the Emperor. Don't know if Prince Cheng's coffin board can still cover it, don't know if Prince Cheng's family will go crazy after learning about this. Don't know if the people in the Northwest will complain for Prince Cheng!
In two days, Prince Cheng's body was sent to the capital.
Winter plus ice cubes, the body is well-preserved, as if alive.
Chen Guanlou met Prince Cheng once, who could have thought, meeting again, separated by yin and yang.
He muttered, "Years passed, thinner, darker. Old Mu, you come and see, how did Prince Cheng die."
In front of the escorting yamen runners, he called Medical Official Mu to examine the body and go through the procedures, the key is to verify the identity. Don't wait until then, someone suddenly jumps out, saying this body is not Prince Cheng, the matter will be big!
Therefore, before receiving the body, every procedure must be strictly executed, absolutely not sloppy. For this, he also specially applied, letting the Ministry of Justice find a way to find someone who has seen Prince Cheng himself to testify.
The person found by the Ministry of Justice is a servant of Prince Cheng's Prefecture! This guy, in order to survive, naturally cooperated fully
"Yes yes yes, this is Prince Cheng!"
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely true!"
"I ask you, does Prince Cheng have any obvious characteristics on his body?"
"This subordinate remembers that His Highness's left sole has a mole the size of a grain of rice, right by the big toe. In addition, His Highness was injured while hunting back then, on the right leg, definitely still has a scar."
As the servant spoke, the prison guards checked, and they could all match. Medical Official Mu was writing furiously on the side, recording the autopsy process and body characteristics one by one.
"Anything else?"
"Waist! His Highness's waist, injured last year, left a knife cut at that time. After healing, there must be a scar. Just this position." The servant pointed to the waist area.
"Prince Cheng doesn't have to go to the battlefield himself, why would his waist be injured?" Chen Guanlou must ask these details clearly, to facilitate future verification.
"It was injured by a concubine in the backyard. Specific situation, this subordinate couldn't enter the backyard and doesn't know. That concubine was executed the next day, and the concubine's family also suffered."
"Anything else?"
"There is a mole behind His Highness's right ear! In addition, there is a scar left from childhood on the back of the head."
"Just these, gone?"
"Gone!"
Chen Guanlou asked Medical Official Mu with his eyes.
Medical Official Mu nodded, "All match! Observing the scars, they are all old injuries. The skin is also real, there is no situation of faking. As for the cause of death..." Medical Official Mu secretly took a breath of cold air, he walked to Chen Guanlou, and whispered: "Looks like poisoning! Should this be written down?"
"Write it down!" Chen Guanlou said decisively, "The person didn't die in our Heavenly Prison, what are you afraid of! Write it all down one by one, absolutely cannot be sloppy, just in case."
The real purpose is absolutely not to leave any chance for anyone to find fault. Even if they want to find fault, don't come to the Heavenly Prison to find it.
"Everyone says Prince Cheng was defeated and died, this cause of death of poisoning, will it..."
"You are worried about affecting the court's reputation, or affecting Marquis Pingjiang? Or attracting His Majesty's unhappiness? What are you afraid of! You think the palace doesn't know Prince Cheng's real cause of death? You think when the news of defeat and death came, Marquis Pingjiang didn't report Prince Cheng's real cause of death? People who should know already knew. We are just doing routine business, recording truthfully."
"This old man observes the poison in Prince Cheng's body, it is definitely not a day or two, but accumulated over years. This matter, I'm afraid there is something to say."
"Whatever there is to say, the poison wasn't put by us, the person wasn't killed by us, we have a clear conscience. If we want to hold accountable, it's not our turn, a group of small shrimps, to take the blame."
Chen Guanlou has a big heart, mainly because he clearly knows Prince Cheng was poisoned, already deep into the bone marrow, no saving. Being able to support until now, all depends on the doctor's exquisite medical skills and his own willpower. Poisoning, is also the main reason Prince Cheng finally made up his mind to rebel!
However, these inside stories are not enough for outsiders to say.
Medical Official Mu saw his attitude was firm, so he signaled Mu Qingshan to record everything truthfully.
After verifying the body, Chen Guanlou signed and received the body personally.
The body was parked in the morgue.
Tomorrow is the official execution, Lingchi!
The prison guards are arranging the venue, just in the courtyard of the morgue, a temporary high platform was built to facilitate everyone to watch the execution. Wang Youfu took the helper found from outside, under the supervision of the prison guards, checked the body, experienced the feel, and discussed how to cut, where to cut, and how many cuts to make on the first day.
Three thousand cuts, definitely the first day is the most important.
Officials and people in the palace will only watch the execution on the first day, and definitely won't be present for the next two days.
Therefore, as long as the first day's task can be successfully completed, it is equivalent to completing more than half, and the silver will be successfully in hand.
However, soon they received an unfortunate piece of news.
"In order to ensure that Prince Cheng's body is cut into a thousand pieces, the palace will send people to watch the execution for three consecutive days. Not only watch the execution, they will also count in person to ensure three thousand cuts, not a single one less!"
