Bring your son to chase after your wife, please go home

Chapter 477 The beginning of cinnabar's death (7)
Hearing her answer, Ye Hen's eyes moved, and finally revealed a happy smile.

Going to Longzhang Palace today is nothing.

Baili Changge followed Ye Hen back to Yonghe Hall, and Feng Nong had already prepared everything Ye Hen ordered.

"Does the lord want to conduct an experiment now?" Baili Changge didn't know what he was going to do, so he could only squat on the ground to tease the two turtles.

Ye Hen hummed lightly, but before he started to move, Yuan Guanghao rushed in, shouting, "My lord is not well, the female official Tongshi mentioned last night is dead."

Baili Changge suddenly stood up and asked, "What's going on?"

"I don't know either." Yuan Guanghao shook his head, "Just now in Yingyue Palace, I had someone re-drain the drain, and when that person went out from the exit mentioned last night, he saw the female officer Tongshi died on her own. In the courtyard, Wu Zuo conducted an autopsy, and the time of death was probably between Xushi and Haishi last night."

"Take us to take a look." Ye Hen ordered Feng Nong to put away his things, and together with Baili Changge, he followed Yuan Guanghao out of the door and went straight to the residence of female official Tongshi.

The female official Tongshi is responsible for recording the various living conditions of the emperor and the concubines. She understands the menstrual periods, birthdays and various living habits of the concubines, and can arrange suitable concubines for the emperor according to the exact time and record them. All dynasties are very important palace materials.

Now that the Tongshi female official is killed, it can be said that there is a wave of unrest and another wave. Baili Changge's head is about to explode, but he can't connect Wei Hai with a Tongshi female official.

When the few people arrived, the body of the female official Tongshi had been carried back to the room and lay flat on the bed. Baili Changge walked over to do the autopsy. Her death was somewhat similar to that of Wei Hai, with a lot of saliva on the corner of her mouth. Also swollen and bleeding gums.The color of the nails was normal and there was no bruising.Both hands were bent into claws, looking extremely painful.

"Master Yuan, let people look around in this room for dead rats and cockroaches." Baili Changge turned around and explained a few words to Yuan Guanghao.

Yuan Guanghao immediately asked people to go in and search.

Baili Changge turned around and looked at the lampshade on the table.

Ye Hen noticed her expression, and followed her gaze.

Baili Changge put on his gloves, and carefully took off the lampshade, and sure enough, he saw some bright spots on the wall of the lampshade that looked like water droplets—mercury.

Ye Hen's eyes moved, as if he understood something in an instant.

A moment later, the officials brought by Yuan Guanghao found three dead mice in the corner, and suddenly a bad smell came over. Wear it.

"Miss, how do you know there are dead mice in this room?" Yuan Guanghao came over pinching his nose, and looked at Baili Changge with admiration.

"Of course I didn't smell it." Baili Changge held up the lampshade calmly and showed it to everyone, "What do you see on it?"

"It turned out to be fine and dense mercury!" Yuan Guanghao frowned, "Why is there mercury in the lampshade?"

"It's not that mercury appeared in the lampshade for no reason." Baili Changge said, "It's that the candle in the lampshade burned something to produce mercury."

"This thing is cinnabar." Ye Hen took the words, "So we saw a little silver on the half of the candle in Yingyue Palace because the candle burned cinnabar."

"Your Highness is wise." Baili Changge glanced at Ye Hen approvingly, and said to everyone: "Your Highness is right, cinnabar should avoid heat and fire, because once heated, mercury will be produced, and during the calcination process, it will produce poison. Gas, once a person inhales a large amount of this gas in a confined space, he will definitely die."

These words were shocking to Yuan Guanghao and others. It is well known that cinnabar cannot be heated, but no one thought that someone would use cinnabar to kill people. Such a method is extremely cruel.

"Now that the secret of mercury has been solved, let me tell you about the emergence of mercury in Yingyue Palace." Baili Changge put down the lampshade, "Huayan was ordered by the emperor to go to Yingyue Palace to lock the door, but on the way, she was arrested by a guard. The palace maid wearing cinnabar bumped into her accidentally, and Huayan's bracelet was stained with cinnabar. When she entered the main hall of Yingyue Palace, she lit a candle, closed all the windows, and went out to lock the door of the main hall. Note that when she was lighting the candles, the cinnabar on the bracelet had already been heated to produce poisonous gas in the hall, and then Huayan came out. Afterwards, Wei Hai climbed up from the drain and directly inhaled the poisonous gas to death."

"So, did Eunuch Wei actually die by inhaling the poisonous gas produced by the heating of cinnabar?" Yuan Guanghao asked.

"That's just one of the reasons." Baili Changge nodded, "The other reason is the hole on the back of his foot. He was corroded by strong acid."

"Then why did he have such a terrified expression? Could it be that after inhaling the poisonous gas, he will always appear so terrified?" Yuan Guanghao glanced at the body of the female officer Tongshi as he spoke, and said in confusion: "The female officer's face is not full. What an expression like that!"

"The reason why Wei Hai has such an expression is because he saw the ghost in the legend." Ye Hen took over, "So he was first corroded by strong acid, then he inhaled the poisonous gas, and then he was frightened by the ghost, so There is no doubt about death."
