Lin Haifu smiled bitterly. "I have been feeling very nervous these past few days. When I met Bai Yu that day, I almost turned around and ran away. People really should not do things that would make their consciences run high. When I was in the military camp, although the conditions were a little bit tough every day, I felt at ease and could sleep well. Since I came back to the capital, I can't sleep every day. Even when I do fall asleep, I have nightmares. I dreamed that the brothers of the Langya Army came to me to kill me..."

Lin Haifu lowered his head and a whimpering sound came from deep in his throat. Chu Yunxi, Xiao Mubei and Baiyu Heimu all watched quietly, and no one said a word.

There is no point in belated repentance. If you had known this would happen, you would not have done it in the first place. People always hold on to luck and think they can escape the punishment of the law. Little do they know that the net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet.

After a long time, Lin Haifu raised his head, with traces of tears on his face. His hands were chained and he couldn't wipe the tears, so he could only continue like this.

Yan Haosong's case has been completely solved. What remains now is the case of the brothel girl. Seeing that he is calm, Chu Yunxi spoke up, "Where did you get those landscape stones from?"

Lin Haifu said in a low voice, "I don't know. I didn't interfere in that matter. It was all done by the secret guard Hu Tianyu."

"Where is the body of the imperial physician you killed earlier?"

Lin Haifu lowered his head again, and his voice seemed to come out of his chest, muffled, "I buried him in an abandoned garden in the western suburbs of Beijing."

"King Anyang knows that we suspect him. What are your plans next?"

Lin Haifu's mouth trembled, but he didn't say anything. Chu Yunxi sneered, "Why, are you still thinking about loyalty now?"

Chu Yunxi hit the nail on the head when she saw Lin Haifu's thoughts. He lowered his head and said in a voice as quiet as a mosquito, "He plans to give up Hu Tianyu and let him take care of this matter."

It's like getting rid of the donkey after it has done its job. Chu Yunxi glanced at Xiao Mubei, and her eyes said that this is another prince who treats human life as worthless.

Xiao Mubei remained calm and composed. He is him and I am me, and we cannot be confused.

As the two were exchanging glances, Constable Wang Ziqi came in to report, "We caught a man at the river outside the city. He was pulling a cart of landscape stones and was about to dump them into the river. We caught him red-handed. After inspection, we found that these landscape stones were the same as the ones we fished out of the river."

This is simply a murderer who has come to the doorstep. He knew that there were people stalking by the river, but he still went there on purpose, and even brought evidence with him. The only thing missing was writing four words on his forehead: I am the murderer.

Chu Yunxi held her forehead with her hand. Did the Prince of Anyang really think that the Dali Temple was full of good-for-nothings? He sent the murderer to their doorstep, letting them happily close the case, and from then on he could rest easy and continue to live his life as a carefree prince?

But the person has been sent, so she can’t refuse him. Chu Yunxi asked Wang Ziqi to bring the person over and winked at Xiao Mubei, saying that something good was going to happen.

After a while, a man in black clothes, a black scarf and a mask was brought over. However, the black scarf had been pulled down, revealing an ordinary face.

He originally walked in with his head down, but when he looked up, he first saw Xiao Mubei, Chu Yunxi and others. He followed these people and was suddenly startled. Then he suddenly shook off Wang Ziqi's hand and came in front of Lin Haifu like a gust of wind.

Bai Yu immediately stepped forward and put his hands on Hu Tianyu's scapula. If he made any unusual movements, Bai Yu's men would show no mercy.

Hu Tianyu did not move, but looked at Lin Haifu and asked in surprise: "Why are you here too?"

Lin Haifu looked down at himself and said with a wry smile: "Do I even need to ask this?"

Hu Tianyu retreated step by step, his heart in turmoil. He wanted to ask the prince if he knew that Lin Haifu had been arrested, but he was afraid of exposing the prince. But he was also worried that he didn't know whether Lin Haifu had confessed anything.

Originally, he planned to use his life to divert the attention of the Dali Temple and solve the trouble for the prince. He was originally a death warrior, and dying for the prince was his destiny, but if the death was not worth it, he would not be willing to risk his life.

"What did you say?" Hu Tianyu's voice became low and his eyes were fixed on Lin Haifu.

Xiao Mubei spoke calmly from behind, "What he said is not what you should think about. What you should think about is what you are going to say."

"I have nothing to say." Hu Tianyu said angrily, "I just went there to throw some stones. Which law in Dasui prohibits throwing stones into the river?"

Chu Yunxi smiled. This guy was really interesting. She slowly walked forward and looked at Hu Tianyu with sparkling eyes. "Aren't you here to confess your guilt? If you don't confess, how will your prince escape punishment?"

Hu Tianyu was stunned, anger slowly creeping up his face. He moved his head inch by inch towards Lin Haifu, his neck creaking, and said gloomily: "Lin Haifu, you betrayed the prince, I will kill you."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body slipped somehow and slipped out of Bai Yu's hand, and he slapped Lin Haifu with a fierce palm.

This sudden change caught Bai Yu off guard. His hands were empty and his heart immediately tightened. He subconsciously tried to grab him, but he didn't expect that Hu Tianyu's lightness skills were very good. As soon as he moved his body, he was no longer in the original position. Bai Yu missed again.

Chu Yunxi was originally standing between Hu Tianyu and Lin Haifu, facing Hu Tianyu, so when she saw Hu Tianyu's changed expression, she subconsciously became alert.

Hu Tianyu slapped out with his palm at an extremely fast speed. In a flash, Chu Yunxi didn't know what she was thinking of, and she suddenly took a big step back and stood in front of Lin Haifu.

"Yun Xi!"

"girl!"

"girl!"

Xiao Mubei, Bai Yu and Hei Mu cried out at the same time, but it was too late to save Chu Yunxi. Seeing that she was about to die under the powerful internal force, Xiao Mubei's eyes were bloodshot and he swung the whip in his hand towards Hu Tianyu with all his might.

Hu Tianyu's palm force did not decrease. He was determined to kill Chu Yunxi and Lin Haifu with his palm even if he got injured.

At the critical moment, Chu Yunxi suddenly took out a black round stick from somewhere and poked Hu Tianyu's palm.

Sparks flew from the round stick, and Hu Tianyu suddenly began to twitch all over, his body swinging around as if out of control. His palms seemed to be stuck to the stick and he couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard he tried, and the palm wind disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that Hu Tianyu's eyes had rolled back, Chu Yunxi retracted the round stick. He immediately fell down, his body still twitching slightly.

The interrogation room was in complete silence. Everyone was stunned. They didn't understand how this reversal came about. Why did the secret guard Hu Tianyu, who was so skilled in martial arts, fall to the ground, while the weak girl was standing there? What on earth was that stick?
