That night, the temporary residence where the beast's corpse was stored received a steady stream of visitors who came from all directions to witness it.
Among them, in addition to Guo Chongtao who dropped everything and rushed back from the right disciple's workshop; as well as Zhou Bangyan, the Shangguan directly subordinate to Guo Chongtao and the left commander of the Chaoyuan; a certain Kingo Zhonglang general who was closely related to him; there was even a white-faced man No need, just look at him and see that he is a middle-aged eunuch.
When these three groups of people got together, they worked together to bring more people who came after hearing the news, obviously all kinds of people who were inquiring about the news; they were rudely isolated from the outside. At the same time, it was announced that everyone who had witnessed the incident would be seized and detained in order to prepare for the hearing of corresponding statements.
However, when they actually stood in the specially opened hall after the gate was removed; in front of the corpse of the ferocious beast lying on its side on a cart, which was almost half a man tall and almost larger than a tall horse, But he still couldn't help being shocked and appalled by it;
"Zuodu, Haigong, can we start?"
In the end, it was General Jinwu who came to his senses first and said: "I saw that he was born with a broad forehead, a nose and high eyebrows, and he looked majestic, deep and dignified."
"That's right, let's start quickly. Will the Za family be revived?"
The middle-aged eunuch named Haigong quickly responded:
"Then let's do it!"
Zhou Bangyan also took a deep breath and said: After all, compared with the previous circumstantial evidence and clues, the appearance of this solid evidence in front of him did not know what kind of uproar it would cause in the court. But no matter what, as the first-hand master, he is already invincible.
Immediately, the medical officers who were summoned from the Military Medical Office overnight and several of the most experienced warriors were ordered to push a cart full of various tools and crowded forward with different expressions; surrounding this strange armored and hooded creature. The ferocious beast started working with clanging sounds.
The first thing to be freed was a large piece of armor that had been lifted open by Jiang Tian; however, as more parts of these armors stained with blood and mud were uncovered, more discoveries were made. ; Because the buckle as a fixation is actually inside the body.
Then, someone brought up a tray with the bloody and sawed-off objects and said: "For the information, all the officials and nobles, these are the objects nailed into the bones and skin of ferocious beasts to fix the armor and clothing. Judging from the situation, they are self-made. I was introduced to it when I was young and have grown up with it to this day.”
Immediately, Guo Chongtao and others who were accompanying him wrote notes on the spot one after another. After hearing this, Zhou Bangyan and General Jinwu looked as usual, but the sea lord couldn't help but frowned and covered his mouth and nose with a gold woven handkerchief.
Soon, as the fixed objects were continuously pulled out from the beast's body, the one-piece iron scale armor was completely freed with a clang, and spread out to dry. Immediately, several people came forward according to the division of labor, and inspected it carefully regardless of the dirt and stench.
Someone immediately replied: "For the information, distinguished officials, this thing is a vest with precision forged steel scales. It is suspected to have used Qingtang's cold forging knob surface technology. According to the corrosion and wear, it has been used for roughly two to three years." Years old; a custom-made object.”
Hearing this, it was the turn of General Jinwu Zhonglang, who was a little uneasy and said in a heavy nasal voice: "Wait, is it actually a waistcoat, or is it the cold forging method of Qingtang's tumor face? I'm afraid it's not the ones in the internal warfare library. Worm, hum…”
However, Haigong's eunuch comforted him and said: "Zheng Jinwu, please be patient. I believe there will be more discoveries. Isn't it necessarily related to the internal war chest?". After all, although the internal warehouse is subordinate to Wei Weiqing, it is also needed for the ceremonial guard to obey orders and call from the imperial court.
Zheng Jinwu snorted slightly when he heard this, but said nothing again. He just straightened his chest and belly, staring intently at the busy scene. Until, someone once again carried the face pocket of the ferocious beast and some rings similar to horseshoes and presented them to him and said:
"For your information, I have discovered that in addition to the sharp horns and fangs made of fine steel on the head, there are also traces of iron sheaths on the four hooves and claws; in addition, the beast's The claws are also extremely sharp..."
Following the man's introduction, someone picked up a demonstration card and rubbed it hard against the animal's claws. After hearing a tooth-gripping scratching sound, the animal's mouth card, also made of fine iron, was already in shape. There is a deep scratch on it, and if you look closely you can see traces of metal curls.
When Zheng Jinwu saw this scene, his face turned ugly and he said: "Unexpectedly, my son-in-law fell into this kind of trick...". At this time, the strong smell of blood suddenly began to fill the room, but it was the medical officer who began to saw open the lower jaw of the vicious beast.
As the blood flowed out in a large pool, there were also organs and other objects rolling greasyly on the board; the first person who couldn't stand it was the middle-aged eunuch Haigong. After he ran out like a fugitive, he pointed at an accompanying eunuch and said, "Ximen, go and watch for me. Don't miss anything."
But in the room where Haigong left, Zhou Bangyan and Zheng Jinwu were still staring at the scene, watching the ferocious beast being painstakingly cut through the inch-thick leathery skin with a serrated flat-headed blade. and surface fat; then, slowly tear open the diaphragm and take out the huge internal organs.
Then, someone reported back: "For your information, the skin of the ferocious beast is similar to rhinoceros skin and fine tanned cow leather; it is difficult for ordinary swords, guns and arrows to penetrate deeply; in addition, in the peeled subcutaneous texture, there are also years of aging." Bruises and knots; suspected domestication methods of prolonged confinement, torture and whipping.”
Immediately afterwards, someone else reported: "The stomach of the ferocious beast has been cut open. Its shape is roughly the same as that of pigs and dogs; except for a few human remains, most of the others are empty..."
The Ximen eunuch who had just come in from outside the door couldn't help but vomit loudly when he saw what happened. He couldn't even stand up straight for a moment... Immediately afterwards, another group of people reported back:
"For your information, this beast has broad ears, a broad nose, and big eyes. It is suspected that its sense of smell and hearing are better than what can be seen. After the skull was cut open, its brain was obviously smaller than its body size; the fatal injury was suspected to be at the helix of the ear, and there was a sharp The object penetrated and injured the lower spinal cord of the brain."
At this time, Zhou Bangyan was able to turn around and ask Jiang Tian, who was also witnessing but had almost no sense of presence:
"Jiang Sheng, you are the one who has experienced it firsthand. Do you have anything to add or objections to?"
Hearing these words, Zheng Jinwu and his followers were somewhat surprised to notice that Jiang Tian, who seemed to be invisible to everyone at this moment, was actually there with an unchanging expression. I saw him slowly opening his mouth and saying:
"I believe that this ferocious beast is not very intelligent, but relies more on instinct and animality. Therefore, it requires certain guidance and means to prevent loss of control."
