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

Although it was expected, Chu Yunxi still felt relieved a little, "That's good."

If not, there is still hope.

The three of them sat down and talked to each other about what had happened since they separated. It turned out that Chu Zhongxi had been completely unconscious at that time. Before he fell into a coma, the eldest brother Chu Yuanxi was still fighting. After waking up, he was already at the home of the old couple who were chopping wood. He was anxious to find his eldest brother, but his injuries were too severe, so he had to rest for ten days. Ten days later, he insisted on bidding farewell to the old couple and began to look for his eldest brother nearby.

After searching for more than a month, there was still no news. No one was seen alive or dead. Chu Zhongxi had no choice but to buy a horse and return to the capital.

After he came back, he heard that the Marquis' Mansion had been raided, but his younger sister Chu Yunxi survived and married into the neighboring Dingbei Palace and became the Dingbei Prince's concubine. Fortunately, the Marquis' Mansion had been rehabilitated and the Emperor issued an edict of repentance, and his anger was slightly subsided.

So he immediately went to Dingbei Palace to see his younger sister.

Chu Yunxi also talked about the important things that had happened in the past two months. After being happy, she began to feel guilty. Chu Yunxi's second brother was back, and he must know his younger sister very well. He would definitely be able to see the clues after a long time. She was afraid that her identity could not be kept secret.

"Little sister, little sister?"

Chu Yunxi woke up as if from a dream. She was distracted by what she was thinking about. She hurriedly responded, "Second brother, what did you say?"

"Take me to worship mother tomorrow. I should tell my mother that I'm back so that she can rest assured." Chu Zhongxi couldn't help but tear up when he talked about the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

"it is good."

Xiao Mubei called housekeeper Ling and asked him to clean up the guest room. He said to Chu Zhongxi, "You will stay at the palace tonight. The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion has not been occupied for a long time. Tomorrow I will ask housekeeper Ling to take people to clean up. The Ministry of Revenue will count the confiscated property and send it back to the Marquis' Mansion in the next two days. From now on, the Marquis' Mansion will rely on you to support it."

Chu Zhongxi finally couldn't hold back his tears. This time when he went to the battlefield, he had been through a near-death experience. His family had gone through a great change, and his relatives had passed away. It seemed as if everything had changed, even his little sister seemed to have changed a lot.

But Chu Zhongxi just thought that he hadn't seen his younger sister for a long time and didn't think much about it.

On the morning of the second day, Xiao Mubei accompanied Chu Yunxi and Chu Zhongxi to pay homage to the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

Chu Zhongxi, a seven-foot-tall man, cried loudly in front of the tomb of the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. Chu Yunxi also shed many tears with him. Finally, Chu Zhongxi swore in front of the tomb of the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery that he would find his elder brother and his father's body and bring it back to be buried with the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

After the worship, it was almost noon. The three of them walked down the mountain. Halfway up the mountain, Bai Yu turned back and said, "A funeral procession is coming up the mountain, carrying a coffin. Your Majesty, do you want to avoid it?"

In the capital, funerals are held at noon. It is said that this is the time when the yang energy is at its strongest in the day, and it can suppress all demons and monsters. Of course, other places have different customs, and everyone is used to them.

However, there is a folk saying that it is unlucky to encounter a funeral and you will be unlucky for the whole day, so ordinary people usually avoid it when they see it from a distance.

Xiao Mubei didn't have any taboos, but he was afraid that the Chu brothers and sisters would have taboos, so he looked at Chu Yunxi, but Chu Yunxi had already said, "Seeing the coffin makes you rich, what's there to avoid, have you forgotten what I do?"

She raised her head, as if to say, how could a coroner like me be afraid of coffins and dead people? What a joke, her expression was arrogant and inexplicably funny. Xiao Mubei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yes, yes, coroner Chu is amazing. Ghosts have to hide when they see him."

Chu Yunxi was about to brag when she heard Chu Zhongxi say, "Coroner?"

Chu Yunxi's heart sank. It was over. How could she have forgotten about her second brother? But he would have to know about this sooner or later. Chu Yunxi had already thought of it last night, so she put on a smile and brought out the excuse she had thought of last night.

"Yes, second brother, I am now a female coroner in the Dali Temple. I am very powerful. The prince became the Dali Temple Minister, and I didn't want to stay in the prince's mansion. It happened that the position of coroner in the Dali Temple was vacant, so I went through the back door."

"Do you need to use backdoors to become a coroner?"

Chu Zhongxi looked incredulous. "Besides, weren't you the most timid before? I remember that once an old nanny in the family passed away, you didn't dare to sleep alone, and you slept in your mother's room for a month."

Is this even happening?

Chu Yunxi was sweating profusely and smiled dryly: "I have grown up."

"And how do you know how to do autopsies?"

Chu Yunxi groaned for a long time, but couldn't explain it clearly. At this time, Xiao Mubei said calmly, "Before the old coroner from the Dali Temple retired, I asked him to take care of Yunxi for two months."

Chu Yunxi looked up in surprise, only to see Xiao Mubei with a nonchalant expression, as if what he said was true.

Baiyu Heimu looked at his nose and his nose at his heart, his expression remained unchanged, as if what Xiao Mubei said was true.

If Chu Yunxi didn't know the origin of her skills, she would almost believe that she had become successful after following the old coroner for two months.

Why did he help her to cover up her lie? What did he know?

Chu Zhongxi was also stunned for a moment. If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Mubei was a prince, he would have almost retorted. However, he couldn't help but said, "Prince, this is inappropriate. After all, I am a woman. How can I be a coroner?"

"I like it." Chu Yunxi answered quickly, "I begged the prince to learn it. I think it is a very meritorious thing to redress the injustice of the dead and to speak for the dead that they did not have time to say."

"you…"

Chu Zhongxi didn’t know what to say. How come his little sister had changed so much all of a sudden?

At this time, the funeral procession with music and drums had already walked up to them, and a few of them moved to the side to let the coffin pass.

Chu Yunxi suddenly said, "Hey, it's an acquaintance."

It turned out that the person wearing mourning clothes and following the coffin was none other than Luo, the wife of Lou San, who jumped off the Ruyun Building yesterday.

Needless to say, the person lying in the coffin in front must be Lou San.

"Mrs. Lou, why is the funeral being held so soon? Doesn't it need to be kept for three days?" Chu Yunxi asked curiously.

When Luo saw Chu Yunxi, she recognized her as the girl who was with the government officials yesterday, so she smiled bitterly, "Miss, my man ignored us when he was alive. He went to that brothel every day and left us a lot of debts. I didn't throw him into a mass grave, which was already merciful. Why stop his spirit? Just bury him quickly. I still have to work to support my children."

Chu Yunxi had heard her talk about this yesterday. She knew that Lou San was also a jerk. He had a wife and children at home, but he went out to fool around every day. She couldn't help but feel sympathy for Luo and agreed, "You're right. There's really no need to keep vigil. Go and get busy."

Mrs. Luo still remembered that it was Xiao Mubei who gave her the silver yesterday. Although she didn't know Xiao Mubei's identity, she knew from his clothes that he was either rich or noble. She thanked Xiao Mubei again and allowed the coffin to continue to be carried up.
