Jing Yi pretended to be a wounded soldier and entered the infirmary.

With his secret inquiry and our public investigation,

we will find out the truth.

I don’t believe

these people committed suicide because they were

Neck

Strangulation marks possessed by evil spirits.

Broken hyoid bone

Nonsense!

I think probably he is behind the whole thing.

What is he up to

List

to get Commandery Prince An here?

Does he want to kill him?

Although he is in charge of buying supplies,

he has no power to deploy troops.

He reports these things to General Leng.

General Leng will use his discretion and assign the task to next person.

He can’t decide

who will be sent out.

What about the other thing?

I’ve asked about it.

While I was away,

some soldiers left the base.

Did they go back home?

They are deserters.

In fact, those people are not really soldiers.

They were bandits incorporated into the army.

When we send troops to suppress the bandits,

normally we won’t kill them

unless they commit any felony

or resist desperately.

As long as they surrender,

they will be incorporated into the army

and be trained to replenish troops.

Most of the bandits know some skills to fight.

It’s much easier to train them

than to train those farmers.

Those who escaped

were taken in in this way.

Do you still remember their looks?

I don’t have much impression of them.

Hou Bin led the troops

during the battle when they were taken in.

After they were captured,

they were trained by Hou Bin.

How long have they been trained in the base

before they escaped?

Less than four months.

Less than four months?

They were only trained for less than four months

and they just escaped?

Yes.

The first six months is the easiest time

for them to escape.

After all, being a soldier is not as unrestrained as being a bandit.

Well, is there any problem?

The Imperial Coroner

Episode 28

Yue.

Why are you here?

Did you get hurt?

Kid.

I won’t be disabled. And I won’t bother you anyway.

You... You...

You... You...

How can you talk to your grandpa in this way?

Can you grow up?

Your Highness, Miss Leng presents herself.

Let her in.

Yes.

Your Highness.

I found something in that man’s barracks.

You went to General Leng’s barracks?

How did you get in?

Has the chivalry of the Leng clan...

Jinli.

I need you to check one thing for me.

Jing’s Mansion

Master, our man monitoring Princess Xiping’s Mansion

came back and reported

that Banxia stopped Zhou Han’s carriage at the gate.

It looked like she was looking for someone but didn’t find them.

What’s the news in the Palace?

Our men reported earlier

that they have found out

who are looking for the former servants

of Princess Xiping’s Mansion.

Qin Luan made the order.

They not only investigated the former servants of Princess Xiping’s Mansion,

but also nosed into the rumors

after Princess Xiping gave birth

to twins.

Rumors?

Why would Qin Luan

look into these things?

Keep a close eye on Qin Luan these days.

Let me know if you have any news.

Yes, Master.

The good news that you will be promoted to

the general director in charge of palace affairs

spread far and wide.

Everyone is sending their congratulations.

Take a look.

There are too many gifts to be counted.

These people respect you a lot.

Look at this.

This is from the Antique Store.

The Antique Store also sent a gift?

You went to their place in person

a few days ago.

They must think you are their protector now.

Then they nerved themselves to send you a gift.

It must be a big gift.

Birthday It’s this one.

A bronze Ruyi?

What?

Master, he sent you a bronze Ruyi.

What does this mean?

Bronze Ruyi...

Birthday

Swan geese fly by, the red sun rising above the water. Waiting for...

Didn’t you see what’s engraved on it?

There are two words missing.

Take a look.

Swan geese fly by, the red sun rising above the water.

Waiting for Rukui...

I don’t understand.

What Rukui?

It’s Rugui.

Waiting for... Don’t you see two words are missing?

The Antique Store sent this to me

to let me know

that they have Xu Rugui.

If I want Xu Rugui,

I need to see him soon.

Xu Rugui is in the Antique Store?

Doesn’t that mean they...?

A bronze Ruyi.

What an implication.

It’s time to meet these little brats.

What’s the situation in the infirmary?

Those wounded soldiers are just pawns.

They guessed more than what they really know.

Fortunately, when I

played beetles rolling balls with them,

I got some news.

The first person went crazy in the army

is a wounded soldier in the infirmary.

Wounded soldier...

How is that wounded soldier doing now?

He is basically recovered now.

I also sounded him out.

He really doesn’t remember anything.

He insisted that he met something evil.

Is there anything else?

The rumors about evil spirits

were spread out from the infirmary.

These wounded soldiers have nothing to do.

This bunch of dudes

are really garrulous.

After you go back this time,

remember to inquire about another person.

Who?

Wu Chen.

Wu Chen? The officer in charge of military supplies?

Yes.

Why do you want to investigate him?

Your Highness, there is an urgent letter from Chang’an.

Qin Luan caught two maids dismissed from Princess Xiping’s Mansion long ago

What’s wrong? Is there any trouble in Chang’an?

There must be some trouble.

But I don’t know what kind of trouble it is.

What do you mean?

Qin Luan somehow

caught two maids dismissed from

Princess Xiping’s Mansion in the early years.

Wu Jiang worried something bad would happen in Princess Xiping’s Mansion,

so he observed for a few days

and found out Senior Jing is secretly investigating

the things happening during Princess Xiping’s pregnancy.

During Princess Xiping’s pregnancy?

Why would he investigate that?

Chu Chu, have you found anything special

after the autopsies of these three bodies?

I don’t know if it’s special.

After the autopsies,

I found out the drowned breathed in more water

and the burnt dead inhaled in more ash

than an average dead person would do,

but not as much as a living person.

You mean...

They were neither dead

or alive before they died.

Yes. That’s what I want to say.

Neither dead nor alive...

I think they can be called living corpses.

A living corpse like me?

No.

Let me put it in this way.

If a person is thrown into

the water or fire after he is dead,

he isn’t breathing

and he can’t inhale in anything.

But a living person is different.

He needs to breathe.

He struggles when he tries to breathe,

which will make him breathe in more.

But these two people are different.

Although they breathed in things before they died,

the amount they breathed in

is much less than a normal person.

If you want me to describe what kind of state they were in,

they should be breathing normally

until they died.

Is there anything suspicious

about the man who strangled himself?

Feng Li is the strangest one.

Generally speaking,

it’s hard to strangle yourself,

especially in the way he did.

He wrapped a belt around his neck

and his hands took

each of the ends.

It’s even harder to strangle himself in this way.

Because once a person is strangled to a certain degree,

he won’t be able to breathe because of the pain.

Then he won’t have that much strength.

He can only strangle himself to death

if he pulls it really hard at first.

But that’s not Feng Li’s situation.

From the strangulation marks on his neck and palm,

and the fragmentation of his throat,

he didn’t strangle himself to death at once.

He used the same strength

until he strangled himself to death.

You are saying

these three people

were in a state of extreme pain

without knowing it?

Yeah, exactly.

What did they eat before they died?

Just normal meals.

Nothing special.

Your Highness.

I don’t believe there is any evil spirit in this world.

But I’ve never seen or heard

anyone who died

like the way they did.

Were they really possessed by some evil spirits?

Well? Are you scared?

Who is scared? I’m not scared.

Even if they were possessed,

you can handle the living part, I’ll handle the dead part.

As for those who are neither dead nor alive, we will handle it together.

I don’t believe

there is anything in the world that we can’t handle.

If you are scared,

you can sleep at my place tonight.

I think I’m going to read

the statements sent by Hou Bin till dawn.

Rest assured to sleep at my place.

I won’t bother you.

I’ll read it with you.

Your Highness, something happened to Vice Minister Jing.

What?

Take me to him now.

Yes.

-Hurry! -Hurry!

Go!

I’ll kill you!

I’ll kill you!

Kill!

Put the sword down.

I’ll kill you!

What’s happening here?

Go away!

Are you crazy?

What happened?

What’s the situation?

General, this Qianzhou’s soldier also went crazy.

He is just like the previous mad soldiers.

His pulse is fine.

Good.

Leng Yue, do you have any method

to wake him up as soon as possible?

Yes, acupuncture will do.

Take him to my place.

I have something to ask him.

Someone, take him away!

Come on.

Come on.

If you don’t mind,

can I go with you?

General Leng, please.

Please.

Why are you still standing here?

It’s not the first time you saw something like this.

We got Commandery Prince An here.

He will find out the truth soon.

Act like brave men!

If other people know it,

they will mock us for

being afraid of a little mad soldier

of Qianzhou.

Well...

Don’t you hear it?

Go back to your place!

Just leave!

-Yes. -Yes.

Doctor Qi.

Clean this up.

What’s more,

hurry up and

make a list for me.

Yes.

If you need any drug,

I will order them to buy it.

Yes.

I’ll go to work.

Okay. Take care.

Master.

Vice Minister Jing entered the base with Commandery Prince An

Jing Yi went to Leng Peishan’s army with them.

It’s said

that weird things happened in the base of Military Commissioner.

There were soldiers and generals

committing suicide in public one after another.

Leng Peishan wrote a letter and invited Young Master Jing

and Commandery Prince An there to investigate it.

Looks like Xue Rucheng’s trip to the Southwest

disturbed Leng Peishan.

He took a step ahead.

Well, Young Master Jing and they...

Commandery Prince An never acted rashly.

Since he dare to go there

with Jing Yi and his people,

he must have his own reason.

We need to trust them.

Tell our people in the Southwest

that if Jing Yi has any order,

they don’t need to report it back to Chang’an,

just do what he says.

Yes, Master.

I need to think about it carefully.

It won’t take long before

the court knows Commandery Prince An’s visit

to Leng Peishan’s army.

This is the real trouble.

-It hurts! It hurts! -Don’t move.

Dog, you are finally awake.

Dog?

Where am I? Shouldn’t I be in the infirmary?

This is my room.

Do you still remember

what happened just now?

I remember it was dark.

They were sleeping and I was also sleeping.

Then I’m here after I woke up.

Do you have any strange feelings about your body?

My body...

The boards on your arms and legs

were broken by you.

The wounds must hurt a lot, right?

Of course it hurts.

It feels like

my arms and my legs are broken.

And my neck hurts too.

What’s wrong?

You went crazy

just like those soldiers

in the army.

Crazy?

Did I go crazy?

I can’t remember it at all.

What did I do?

You did nothing.

You just almost cut the wooden man

in the infirmary into pieces.

Do you not remember it at all?

I, Jing...

I, Dog, swear with my life

that I really don’t remember anything.

General Leng, he just woke up.

He is still a little confused.

There are too many people in the infirmary.

I’m afraid it will make him nervous

and it won’t help him recall the details.

It’s better to let him calm down a little bit at my place.

I’ll let you know

if I find out anything later.

Okay, thank you, Your Highness.

Keep guard at the door.

Don’t let anyone come near us.

-Yes. -Yes.

Jinli, you just saw it.

Those soldiers all went crazy in that way.

It’s exactly how weird it is.

Yeah.

To be frank,

we can’t blame the soldiers

for being scared.

They just somehow went crazy.

It’s really creepy.

Jinli.

Tell us the truth.

Who is that man

who went crazy today?

What do you mean?

I told you

he is a Qianzhou’s soldier we saved on the way here.

Jinli, we’ve talked about it for a while.

The way that little soldier

talked and behaved is nothing like a real soldier.

Even the Qianzhou soldiers are slack in their training,

they should at least receive the basic training.

Yeah.

Who is he?

Could he be a spy from somewhere?

Stop your wild guess.

He is just a Qianzhou soldier I saved.

He is a raw recruit.

He used to be a poor scholar

with some literary skills.

How else could he be bullied by the bandits like that?

What’s more,

even if he is a spy,

will Commandery Prince An not recognize it?

That’s true.

Of course.

All right. Well,

we are a little incredulous because of what happened these days.

This is just a casual chat

between us.

We are definitely not doubting

your precious brother’s insight.

Yeah.

Hou, how is your injury now?

When did you get hurt again?

Just a flesh wound.

It doesn’t matter.

How does it not matter?

Isn’t it your flesh?

It doesn’t matter?

I heard from Wu Chen

that your injury hasn’t healed yet.

You are even having malignant sores.

You don’t even apply the ointment Doctor Qi gave you on time.

Are you trying to show how tough you are or are you just stupid?

All right.

I mean you two big men are even

more nagging that my wife.

Think about it.

Did anyone approach you on purpose?

Or did you do anything

that might have revealed your identity?

No.

I got it. The Vice Military Commissioner,

General Hou, came to the infirmary

before the meal. He didn’t say anything,

but he kept looking at me.

I think he is doubting my identity.

What about Wu Chen?

There is nothing strange about Wu Chen.

After we stopped gambling,

he checked the crude drug

with the old man Qi.

He didn’t take me seriously.

I asked about him.

Usually he takes care of

military supplies.

Sometimes he drafts documents for the army.

He has no power to dispatch the soldiers.

The generals and soldiers rarely work with him directly.

They don’t have much impression of him.

After Hou Bin left,

did you eat or drink anything?

Do you think I’m that careless about my life?

I was really careful.

I’m afraid they would put anything

in my food,

I didn’t take the medicine at all.

While we were eating,

I pretended that I preferred the food of the person next to me

and I changed it.

I had some water before going to bed.

But that was the water of someone else.

I drank it after they all fell asleep.

Your Highness, could it be

that their target is someone else?

I was so cautious that I overdid it and got myself poisoned?

According to our previous speculation,

someone led us to the army on purpose.

I think that person wants to

kill us in one fell swoop.

But we are in the army now,

why would he complicate it

and make a move against someone irrelevant?

We’ve been here for a while.

We are still alive and kicking.

Except me.

But there is no point

to just make a move against me.

You also said

I didn’t do anything after I went crazy.

I was only cutting wood there.

Did he want to run me down?

Leng Yue.

You also saw the symptoms of Jing Yi.

Is there any obscure

poison or skill

that can make people go crazy like that?

Poison...

Skill...

They won’t feel tired

or painful

when they go crazy.

Just like the way Vice Minister Jing was.

Normally,

Vice Minster Jing would have cried out loud

if his hands got hurt like this.

I don’t think you are complimenting me

or comforting me.

Don’t feel painful.

and can’t remember anything afterwards.

Apply it to him.

This is...

What’s wrong?

I brought this medicine from Chang’an.

It won’t be any problem.

Jing Yi, did you feel dizzy and thirsty

when you just woke up?

A little bit.

That’s it.

Your Highness, it’s datura flower.

Datura flower?

Datura flower is a good remedy for the pain.

What’s wrong with it?

Datura flower is a good remedy for the pain.

But it’s really expensive.

There are few people who can afford it

and know how to use it.

Normally the flower is used as medicine,

But every part of datura flower

is poisonous.

The seed is the most poisonous part.

It tastes sweet.

Normally people will have hallucinations after taking a few seeds.

If the toxicity is not serious,

the person will act normally after the hallucination.

You can’t feel it through the pulse.

I saw it once in Lingnan Mountain.

Someone was selling

something like Five Minerals Powder

made with datura flower

and other medicines.

Hallucinations?

In other words,

those who were poisoned went crazy

because they had hallucinations.

Yes.

If the hallucination

varies from person to person,

that can explain

why they went crazy in different ways.

The datura flower is precious and rare.

I’m afraid it was provided by Li Zhang.

Miss Leng.

If people take such a poison,

will they show symptoms right away

or after a while?

It depends on the usage and the dosage.

If they take the seed,

they will show symptoms

after ten minutes at most.

In this case,

the poison wasn’t in the food.

There wasn’t much food left

in the stomachs of the three dead soldiers.

They must have finished their meals for a while.

It was definitely not just ten minutes.

Then is it water?

Probably not.

In the infirmary,

the water for the wounded soldiers

is heated in a pot.

If the poison was in the water,

those who drank the water should all have gone crazy.

How could you go crazy alone?

Then is it the bowl?

We won’t know the fact

if we keep guessing here.

I’d better go back to the infirmary and keep looking into it.

No way.

Someone wants to kill you and you still want to go back.

Your Highness, I think Jing Yi has

gotten the information we need in the infirmary.

It’s time to get him back.

Are you worried about me?

Yes, I’m worried about you.

All right, don’t worry.

I’ve gone crazy once.

Get sober

where you go crazy.

I’m afraid of pain and death.

No matter what hallucinations I have,

I won’t kill myself.

Besides, Your Highness.

I think it’s not over tonight.

You have to be more careful.

We all need to be more careful.

How dare you sneak into my barracks.

Who do you think you are?

You are way out of my league.

You know I moved this?

Of course.

If I can’t see through

your little trick,

how could I command

the vast army in Qianzhongdao?

My base would be

penetrated by spies.

These letters...

Did I put those letters here on purpose

for you to find them?

Well,

didn’t you show these letters to Commandery Prince An?

If Commandery Prince An can’t even tell this,

then he doesn’t have the ability to rule the Three Judicial Offices.

Why?

Why?

Why not tell you

the reason I couldn’t go back when your parents died tragically

in the Ganlu Incident?

That’s because if the frontier general

leads the troops into the capital without permission,

it will be seen as a rebellion.

If I did that,

the whole Leng clan would be executed.

At that time, the patriarch put me on a leash

and locked me in the dungeon of the ancestral hall.

How could I tell you that?

I wrote letters to your father

on the anniversary of his death every year.

And I put the letters in a box

like a woman.

Well, does it sound glorious?

Will it do any good to you?

Why didn’t you tell me

that the doctor said you have...?

Kid, you can’t trust a doctor’s words.

If you don’t trust the doctor,

why did you write in the letter

that you will reunite with him

less than half a year later?

I was fooling him.

Let me feel you pulse.

How did you fool the court?

General Leng is seriously ill?

No way.

General Leng looks so strong.

I heard that he even had a fight with Miss Leng

in the training yard this afternoon.

What kind of serious disease does he have?

A bone disease.

Maybe it’s an old ailment he got when he fought wars.

During these years,

he wrote letters to Leng Yue’s father

on the anniversary of his death to send condolences.

He wrote in the letter

that he hid his condition from everyone

because he worries that it will cause a disturbance in the army.

He is quietly

preparing for his death.

Does Miss Leng know it?

She found these letters

in General Leng’s barracks.

I was going to let her check if there is

any clue about General Leng contacting Li Zhang

or about illegal minting of coins.

But she found a box of letters

that General Leng wrote to her father over the years.

If General Leng is seriously ill,

he shouldn’t be the mastermind behind this.

Chu Chu, do you still remember

the two people who tried to kill Xu Rugui?

Yes.

I remember you said after the autopsy

that they were both soldiers.

Your Highness, why do you mention this?

These people are also soldiers.

Jinli found out

that before we went into the mountain with Li Zhang,

more than 20 soldiers left the base to buy supplies

under Wu Chen’s order.

This is exactly the number of soldiers who showed up in the Prefect’s Mansion.

But Wu Chen doesn’t have the power to dispatch troops.

Therefore, it must be someone

very powerful behind this.

What’s more,

from the traces of the scene in the wood house that day,

except for the Shence Army who came to kill Xu Rugui,

there was another group of people who wanted to capture Xu Rugui alive.

Your Highness, why do you think

it’s General Leng who sent people to arrest Xu Rugui?
