Chapter 549 The Real Frame-up
"Don't worry, I'm ready."
"Okay, give it to me."
The man handed a medicine bag to Pastor Samuel.
"Be careful and don't let anyone find out." the man instructed.
"Don't worry, you have to be careful too. The Marcus family is heavily guarded. Don't let him catch you."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
The man quickly disappeared into the night.
Shangguan Ziqi asked Qingfeng to follow and see what the man was going to do.
And he continued to stare at the pastor inside.
After a moment, Pastor Samuel dressed in black quietly came out of his living room.
Came to the room where the bishop's body was placed.
The oil lamps were always lit in the morgue.
There was a monk guarding the door.
"grown ups."
"Well, I'm going to talk to the bishop and pray for him, wishing him to rest in peace in paradise. You keep watch and don't let anyone disturb me." Samuel ordered in a calm voice.
The person on duty respectfully opened the door for him.
Then continue to guard it honestly.
Shangguan Ziqi knew at a glance that this person must be Samuel's man, otherwise he would not be so obedient and honest.
He went around to the side window and looked in again.
Samuel was praying very earnestly, but his voice was so soft that he couldn't hear it.
But Shangguan Ziqi did not move. He patiently watched Samuel with his eyes slightly closed, muttering to himself without moving.
A quarter of an hour passed before he saw Samuel open his eyes.
Samuel walked to the bishop's body and uncovered the white cloth. The bishop's face was still so peaceful.
Shangguan Ziqi saw that it was still the same look he had created last night.
I admired Yu Yuanzheng even more. She could transform a painful expression into a peaceful one, just by rubbing it right after death.
Samuel took out a bottle from his arms, and then took out a curved pipe with one end big and the other end small.
Then pry open the corpse's mouth and gently insert the curved tube into it.
Judging from the depth, it has already reached deep into the throat.
Shangguan Ziqi saw him open the bottle and pour an unknown liquid into it from the larger end.
After pouring it out and cleaning up, he continued to pray.
Shangguan Ziqi had already understood what he meant, and quietly returned to the embassy as he had come.
As soon as he came back, the breeze also came back.
"Your Highness, the man I was following went to a mansion and placed a small glass bottle in a secret compartment outside the master's bedroom."
Qingfeng reports.
After a few words, the two of them understood what he meant.
At noon the next day, the cathedral was packed with people.
The Bishop's body lay on the altar, covered with a white cloth embroidered with gold thread.
Yu Yuanzheng did not take action immediately, but asked the church's doctors and imperial physicians to come first.
The two of them checked and found nothing.
The two shook their heads.
"Princess, please, we still believe that the bishop died of natural causes."
After hearing this, Yu Yuanzheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the level of doctors in Estria was too poor.
I came to this conclusion just by looking at the surface of the body.
Yu Yuanzheng put on gloves, Chunhua put on an apron for her, and they walked up to the altar calmly.
When she saw that peaceful face, she gave her husband a thumbs up in her heart, saying he did a good job.
Yu Yuanzheng first pried open the corpse's mouth and carefully examined his throat.
Nothing could be seen, which shows how deep the pipe Shangguan Ziqi saw was.
She took out a silver needle and inserted it deep into the corpse's throat. After a while, she took it out and there was no change.
As expected.
She changed to a longer silver needle and inserted it again into the stomach.
Estimate the depth and don't go any deeper.
After waiting for a while, he pulled out the silver needle.
She saw that the color was indeed dark as she expected.
"You two, the bishop was poisoned to death." Yu Yuanzheng held up the silver needle in front of the two doctors. "This needle is made of silver. It will change color when it comes into contact with poison. If you don't believe me, you can find a normal person to try it."
Both of them looked at the silver needle in shock, which had been shiny just now and was now covered with a layer of black.
"Princess, do you know what kind of poison you were poisoned with?" one of them asked.
Yu Yuanzheng put the knitting to her nose and sniffed it, then said mysteriously, "It's a poison that can make people lose their breath in their sleep."
Whether it is this kind of medicine or not is not important.
She guessed that the king had prepared this trap for her.
The king knew very well what the abilities of the doctors here were.
Yu Yuanzheng's conclusion caused an uproar.
At this moment, a monk suddenly shouted, "It was Marcus who did it. The bishop had dinner with Marcus before he died. I was guarding outside at the time."
"What?" Samuel was surprised and stepped forward to grab the man.
"God can prove that I am not lying." The man said very confidently.
"As the Inquisitor of the capital, why did Marcus want to kill the Bishop?" Samuel angrily asked the question that everyone wanted to know.
"I don't know. I guess he wants to be a bishop?" the man guessed in a trembling voice.
At this moment the commander of the palace guards came forward and asked, "Are you sure it was Marcus who did it?"
"Sure." The man answered with certainty.
The commander of the guards immediately took people to search Marcus' house, and sure enough, they found a bottle of something that looked like poison in his house, and brought it to Yu Yuanzheng for inspection.
"It was this thing that killed the bishop." Yu Yuanzheng judged with certainty.
“It seems that the Bishop and Marcus appear to be very friendly, but in reality they are competing with each other.
This is an internal conflict within our religion, so let us handle it internally.
Captain Toby, please tell the king that I will apologize to him after I have dealt with the church affairs."
"Don't worry, Master Samuel, I will bring it to you faithfully."
"Princess, thank you for your help. You helped us find out the cause of death of the bishop." Samuel bowed deeply to Yu Yuanzheng.
Yu Yuanzheng nodded to accept his thanks and returned to the embassy with Shangguan Ziqi.
Soon, Samuel made Marcus' crimes public, and the crazy believers finally calmed down.
Marcus, who was unable to defend himself, was hanged in the square of the cathedral.
Before his death, he was still shouting that he was innocent, but people only believe in evidence.
The king took this opportunity to purge the church of those forces hostile to him and appointed his confidant Samuel as the new bishop.
The anger of the believers was cleverly diverted and the streets gradually returned to calm.
On this day, Yu Yuanzheng once again came to the palace to give acupuncture to the king.
It was Shangguan Ziqi who helped her.
The king is in a very good mood today.
He had always wanted to suppress his political enemies, but he didn't expect that they would be solved so easily with the help of the people of Wei.
And the headache that troubled him could be cured.
"Princess, your arrival has brought me immeasurable blessings. Can you teach some of your medical skills to my doctor?" The King of Saxony realized the superb medical skills of Yu Yuanzheng and had other ideas in his mind.
"Your Majesty, of course you can. You can send someone to our Great Wei to study. We will be leaving in half a month at most." Yu Yuanzheng wanted to expand his pill business here, so it would be easier if there was someone here who knew a little about Chinese medicine.
"Okay, I'm very grateful for your teaching. I've already informed the technicians in the workshop about the glass technology, and they must not conceal anything."
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Yu Yuanzheng was very satisfied with the king's friendliness.
On the way back, Yu Yuanzheng sighed with emotion, "The King of Saxony is quite courageous and clever, having suppressed the religious power so quickly. Although he had to borrow our help, this will be more conducive to our friendly trade with Estria."
"In politics, there are no eternal friends or enemies, only eternal interests. Even though Samuel is now a bishop, over time, he may become ambitious like the previous one." Shangguan Ziqi held his wife's hand and kneaded it gently.
This weak and boneless little hand has infinite power and changed the distribution of power in a country.
"You're right. By the way, I've been busy with my own affairs these days. How have you arranged the cargo on the ship?"
