The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 160: The Loyal and Brave Marquis’ Mansion
Zhuo Jinchuan didn't care about what Chu Yunxi said. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head, "I didn't find anything unusual."
Zhuo Huaichuan also shook his head.
Chu Yunxi looked at Zhuo Tianlin after getting the expected answer. "Did you buy Zhuo Shaochuan's coffin?"
Zhuo Tianlin said, "Yes, I went to the capital yesterday to buy it, along with incense, candles, and paper money."
"Did the store owner ask you who in your family died and where you lived?"
"They asked in great detail. They said the Ministry of Household Affairs required them to register." Zhuo Tianlin did not suspect anything and reported everything.
It seems that the news still leaked from the coffin shop, but the coffin shop that Zhuo Tianlin went to was not the same one that Luo went to last time. Could it be that the man was related to all the coffin shop owners?
"You just said that the coffin shop owner said that it was the Ministry of Household Affairs that required them to register?" Chu Yunxi asked in detail.
Zhuo Tianlin nodded, "Yes, that's what the boss said, so I said it."
Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Mubei, "Your Majesty, do you know if the Ministry of Revenue has such a request?"
"I really don't know. I've never heard of it."
This was a suspicious point. Chu Yunxi put a question mark in her mind. She asked some other questions, but it seemed that she could not get anything out of them. So she comforted the Zhuo family and promised to solve the case as soon as possible. The two of them left Zhuojia Village with their people.
Back at the Dali Temple, Bai Yu reported, "The owner of the shop where Luo bought the coffin is registered with the government as Lin Siyan, and Lin Siyan is the wife of Sun Shaoyuan, the legitimate son of Sun Shiche, the Minister of Revenue."
"The Ministry of Revenue again?"
Chu Yunxi heard the Ministry of Revenue twice today and felt that it seemed a coincidence. "Bai Yu, go to all the coffin shops in the capital and check how they ask people to leave addresses and information about the deceased."
Bai Yu left in response, and Chu Yunxi asked Xiao Mubei, "Do you know the Minister of Revenue?"
Xiao Mubei shook his head, "We are just nodding acquaintances."
"You can have someone check him out. I think this incident might have something to do with him."
Xiao Mubei also had the same feeling. He immediately ordered Hei Mu to arrange someone to investigate Sun Shiche.
After arranging all these, Chu Yunxi remembered that she hadn't seen her second brother for two days, so she asked Xiao Mubei for leave and returned to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
As soon as she entered the mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Chu Yunxi opened her eyes wide. The memories of the original owner popped up in her mind again. Everything in front of her was extremely familiar. She remembered that the mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had been ransacked on the day she traveled through time, but now, there seemed to be no changes here.
There were maids and servants busy at work, gardeners tidying up the flower beds, and servants repairing the damaged parts of the house. The whole yard was bustling with activity.
Chu Zhongxi just came out and smiled when he saw Chu Yunxi, "Little sister, you are back?"
"Second brother, have you been tidying up the house these two days?" Chu Yunxi walked through every room, and they were basically consistent with her memory. Chu Zhongxi hadn't been home for a long time, and it really took a lot of effort to restore it to this state.
"Yes," Chu Zhongxi touched the pearwood armchair beside him and said, "In the past, my father always sat here to receive guests. He had a back injury, and his back would hurt after sitting for a long time. So my mother embroidered this cushion for him and put it here, stuffing it with thick cotton. Every time my father sat here, he would praise my mother for her skillful hands and said that marrying her was a blessing in his life."
Chu Yunxi smiled, "I didn't expect my father to be so sweet. No wonder my father and mother are still so loving even when they are old."
Chu Zhongxi also laughed, "Father always said that the happiness of a family depends on whether the woman in the family is happy. Women are Feng Shui. If the woman in a family is full of resentment every day, how can the family be happy? That's why father never took a concubine. He only had mother as his woman in his life."
Chu Yunxi sighed: "Father is a very wise man, what a pity."
Chu Zhongxi sat down on the armchair. The maid brought him tea. Chu Zhongxi waved his hand to let the maid leave and said, "In fact, the best ending for a general is to die on the battlefield. Father once said that he was not afraid of death. The general died in a hundred battles. He fought on the battlefield all his life. Wherever the cavalry passed, the enemies were all terrified. It was worth it. If he can die on the battlefield in the future, let us not be sad, because he died for a good cause."
Chu Yunxi couldn't help but think of that loving smile. She touched little Chu Yunxi's head and said with a smile, "Xi'er is so good."
The original owner Chu Yunxi was still very happy.
"Second brother, when everything is settled, let's go to southern Xinjiang together to find father and eldest brother and bring them home."
"Ok!"
The brother and sister held hands tightly.
Chu Zhongxi forced back the tears in his eyes, and then calmed down by drinking tea. He asked, "How does the King of Dingbei treat you? When is he going to make you his principal wife?"
Chu Yunxi was stunned. Why did the topic turn to her so quickly?
"Second brother, that was just a temporary solution. I had to become the concubine of King Dingbei in order to survive. The prince respected me very much and promised to set me free in two years. There is nothing between us."
"What?" Chu Zhongxi put the teacup down heavily, which frightened Chu Yunxi's heart.
"Let you go free? Little sister, how can you be so stupid? Everyone knows that you are already the concubine of King Dingbei. If you divorce in the future, even if there is nothing between you, your reputation will be ruined. Who would dare to marry you?"
Chu Zhongxi was furious. "No, this won't work. Xiao Mubei must be responsible for you. My little sister must be the principal wife of King Dingbei."
Chu Yunxi was speechless, "Second brother, there's really no need..."
"Why not? If we divorce, the Dingbei King can always remarry, but what about you? Little sister, have you never thought about yourself?"
Chu Yunxi didn't expect Chu Zhongxi to react so strongly. She stammered, "I... it's fine if I don't get married. Isn't it good to be with my brother forever?"
Chu Zhongxi looked at Chu Yunxi, who lowered her eyes guiltily. Chu Zhongxi said seriously, "Little sister, tell me, is Xiao Mubei treating you badly?"
"Nothing," Chu Yunxi really didn't know what to say, "The prince treats me very well, but we have only known each other for a short time, and we still need to get to know each other and get used to each other. If we feel it is suitable in the future, maybe we can be together. Second brother, don't worry about this matter, I will handle it myself."
Chu Zhongxi looked at his sister, as if trying to determine whether what she said was true or false. After a while, he sighed, "Little sister, I am worried that you will not be happy in the future. I cannot be with you all the time. If you have any problems, don't keep them to yourself. You must tell me, okay? I will always be behind you."
"I know brother."
