The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

The man laughed, "Chu Yunxi, not everything in this world can be done with open schemes. Otherwise, you might die without knowing how. Am I right?"

Chu Yunxi knew that he was talking about the Loyal and Brave Marquis Chu Xiuyao. Her father had lived an upright life, but was harmed by villains and left with a stigma after his death.

"The net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. Even if conspiracies and tricks can succeed for a while, they cannot succeed forever. The truth will eventually come out."

"Tsk tsk, you do know a lot of principles. Is it because of your righteous look that King Dingbei looks at you differently? Otherwise, with your looks, he wouldn't protect you like the apple of his eye all day long." The man reached out and pinched Chu Yunxi's chin, looking at her carefully.

Chu Yunxi heard his obscene words and his dishonest hands, so she turned her head fiercely and pulled her chin out of his hand. In her hand, there was a sharp dagger taken out of the Liyue bracelet.

"Just tell me what your purpose is." As Chu Yunxi spoke, she turned the handle of the knife and silently cut the rope on her wrist.

The man said, "You are really brave. Tell me, what have you found out? What evidence does King Dingbei have?"

Chu Yunxi sneered, "What evidence is there? Don't you know?"

"Snapped"!

Chu Yunxi's face turned to one side, a trace of blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth, her mouth was fishy and sweet, and her ears were buzzing.

The man snorted coldly, "Don't challenge my patience. I'm not Xiao Mubei, who will be gentle with you. If you cooperate obediently, you will suffer less. If you don't cooperate, don't blame me."

Chu Yunxi spat out the blood in her mouth and raised her head. Although her eyes were covered, she could still feel the contempt in her eyes. "What are you referring to? Framing a loyal and good person? Treason, or... murdering the emperor?"

The man's breathing stagnated, and then he said sternly: "Chu Yunxi, don't put all the blame on the prince. The prince is under house arrest, and it has nothing to do with the matter of the emperor."

This means that he is admitted to be King Jingyuan's man. Chu Yunxi said calmly: "That means that framing a loyal and good person and betraying the country is not wrong for your prince?"

"You..." The man realized that Chu Yunxi had tricked him into saying something, and said angrily, "Chu Yunxi, it seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin, right? If you want to live to see tomorrow's sunrise, you'd better stop being clever and answer my questions honestly."

Chu Yunxi chuckled, "So what if I'm not honest? If you have the guts, just kill me. Let's see if your prince can survive after I die."

The man laughed in anger, "Okay, very good, it seems like I have to suffer a little bit, come here."

There was the sound of a door opening, and someone walked in silently. The man said, "Hang her up and beat her until she speaks."

Chu Yunxi exerted force with her hands, the rope broke, the dagger was put away, and the needle crossbow fell into her hand. Someone came to pull her shoulder, and she attacked suddenly, piercing the person's chest and abdomen with a needle at close range. With one hand, she had already torn open the black cloth covering his eyes.

His eyes lit up as the person in front of him slid to the ground silently, revealing a surprised face behind him. This was a middle-aged scholar, and judging from his dress, he seemed to be an elegant man, but for some reason he seemed very violent at this moment. He looked at the person falling in front of him in disbelief, and couldn't believe how Chu Yunxi had managed to break free from the rope under his strict supervision. What was even more unbelievable was that she clearly didn't know any martial arts, so how did she manage to knock down the secret guard with outstanding martial arts?

But he didn't have time to explore. When his face appeared, Chu Yunxi had already raised the crossbow without hesitation and pressed the launcher. In just one second, the middle-aged scholar lay down silently.

Chu Yunxi took a deep breath, her heart still tense. She listened carefully, but heard nothing outside. She didn't know if there was anyone guarding the place, but her sixth sense told her that there should be a master nearby.

She looked around the environment she was in. It seemed to be a basement. The temperature inside was lower than normal. There was only a lamp and a rack in the room. The other four walls were empty. She didn't know if it was Prince Jingyuan's Palace. However, she felt it was unlikely. Prince Jingyuan would not be so stupid as to hide someone in the palace. The first person Xiao Mubei suspected because of her disappearance must be Prince Jingyuan.

She didn't know whether Xiao Mubei understood her intention or not. She could still smell the herbal scent on her body.

She couldn't stay here forever. If Xiao Mubei couldn't find her, he would definitely deploy people all over the capital. She had to go out to be discovered faster. Staying here would only make King Jingyuan's people realize that something was wrong.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunxi clenched the needle crossbow and slowly opened the door. Without making any sound, she walked out gently. Outside was a corridor with a staircase at the end. This place was indeed underground.

Chu Yunxi walked forward cautiously. Just as she reached the stairs, she heard a sound from above, so she immediately dodged and hid in the dark.

Another man in black came down with food in his hand. There was no place to hide in the corridor. As soon as that man came down, he would definitely find Chu Yunxi. She had to strike first.

Chu Yunxi raised the needle crossbow and fired without hesitation. The sound of the needle breaking through the air was very small, and the force was very fast. By the time the man realized it and wanted to dodge, it was too late.

The needle pierced the flesh and the person fell into coma. The powerful anesthetic took effect immediately. Chu Yunxi rushed forward and wanted to take the food from the man's hand, but she was too late. There was a crisp sound, and the tray fell to the ground. The sound of the plate breaking was particularly harsh in the empty basement.

not good!

Chu Yunxi didn't have time to think and rushed up the stairs quickly. Just as she went up, a person floated down in front of her.

Chu Yunxi recognized that this man was the one who had kidnapped her in the garment shop. Chu Yunxi knew his eyes. He was very good at light work and his martial arts skills were probably not bad either. She took a quick look and found herself in a dilapidated temple. They were now behind a tall statue of a god.

She couldn't run, couldn't fight, would she be caught again? If she went back, it would not be so easy to escape. This place didn't look so easy to find, but she was no match for the man in front of her, that was beyond doubt.

The man in front of him didn't rush to take action. He looked at Chu Yunxi, whose half face was swollen like a steamed bun. He frowned and asked, "Where are the people inside?"

His voice was a little hoarse, and his age could not be heard. Chu Yunxi was unsure of his thoughts, so she could only honestly say, "I knocked him down."

The man raised an eyebrow, "Are you alone?"

"Yes, I'm alone."

The man was silent for a moment, then said, "Go away."
