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

Seeing that everyone's neck was in the noose, but still no one showed up, Xiao Mubei cursed in his heart, these people really regarded human life as worthless. They promised to save Yunniang and her son, but still haven't shown up. It seems that they have no intention of saving them at all.

The only solution now is the second one.

The executioner tightened the noose and was about to pull it, when Yunniang suddenly shouted, "Sir, I have clues about the person behind this."

She used all her strength to shout this time. Although the place was noisy, the sound was heard from far away. Soon, the scene became quiet. The executioners looked at each other, not knowing whether to continue.

Xiao Mubei said in a deep voice: "Let her come over."

"Yun Niang" was released. She rushed to the execution platform and said to Xiao Mubei, "Your Majesty, I know the clue of the person behind the scenes. That person..."

With a "ding" sound, the sound of a hidden weapon breaking through the air was heard. "Yun Niang" tilted her head and stretched out two fingers to clamp the hidden weapon. It was a small flying knife, flying towards her temple. The flying knife was very powerful. If this "Yun Niang" was not played by Zi Han, I am afraid that anyone who does not know martial arts would not escape death.

"There are assassins!"

A soldier shouted and the crowd immediately became chaotic. Zi Han stopped pretending and immediately stood up and flew towards the direction where the hidden weapon came from.

Xiao Mubei looked up at Wen Rulan. He was no longer on the high ground. He swooped down like a wild goose, heading towards a person in the crowd. Zi Han pounced in the same direction from the execution platform. The people nearby screamed in surprise and dodged. In the chaos, a figure rose from the ground, stepped on the shoulders of the people and flew out quickly.

At this moment, all the people from the "Sun Family" had taken off their disguises, picked up their weapons and chased after them. Xiao Mubei also chased after them. In an instant, the execution platform was empty.

The people were stunned, not understanding what was going on and why the criminals were chasing people one by one?

Chu Yunxi was waiting for news in the Dali Temple. She paced back and forth anxiously. Now there were only her and Li Jinghong left in the Dali Temple. All the others had disguised themselves as members of the Sun family.

Chu Yunxi ran to the door several times to look, and came back after a while, but ran out again in less than an incense stick of time. Li Jinghong couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Princess, the prince and his men won't be that fast, at least until after 15:30, right?"

"What if that person shows up earlier?" Chu Yunxi stretched her neck to look outside.

Li Jinghong smiled and said, "That would be better. Your Majesty can catch the person and solve the case sooner."

"If only it were that simple." So many people have died because of this incident, and the person behind the scenes is obviously trying desperately to cover it up. How could it be so easy for them to solve the case?

It was not until three quarters past three that Xiao Mubei and his companions finally returned, bringing back a man dressed in ordinary people's clothes, covered in blood, obviously having been in a fierce fight.

Chu Yunxi came forward and asked Xiao Mubei first: "Is everyone okay?"

"Zi Han was slightly injured, but not seriously. She has already gone back. Everyone else is fine."

Chu Yunxi was relieved then and looked at the man who was captured. He was not tall, as thin as a monkey, and had small eyes.

She was moved and asked, "Isn't this the same image as described by the storytellers?"

Xiao Mubei immediately ordered a constable to call the storyteller to come over and identify the man, and said at the same time: "This man is very skilled in martial arts, Zi Han is no match for him. If it weren't for my senior brother, I'm afraid the Dali Temple would have been damaged today."

It is true that you cannot judge a book by its cover. Chu Yunxi looked the man up and down, but she could not see any sign of a peerless master in him.

"After he was treated, we checked his entire body, including his teeth, to make sure he didn't hide any drugs." Zhang Chenmu became much more cautious after what happened to Yunniang. Emperor Sui Ming fined him half a year's salary and did not pursue his dereliction of duty, but he remembered the lesson.

"Okay, take him to the interrogation room."

After Xiao Mubei gave his instructions, he said to Chu Yunxi and Zhang Chenmu, "This person is very tight-lipped. I may need to use some extraordinary measures later."

Chu Yunxi knew that this person had hurt Zi Han. Xiao Mubei was angry and would not let this person have an easy time, so he nodded.

Zhang Chenmu naturally had no objection.

Xiao Mubei, Chu Yunxi and Zhang Chenmu walked into the interrogation room. Baiyu Heimu stood aside. The man was tied to the rack and could not move. When he saw Xiao Mubei coming in, he said "Pooh", turned his head and closed his eyes.

Xiao Mubei snorted coldly and said, "If you tell the truth, I can consider leaving you an intact body, but if you want to resist to the end, I don't mind letting you suffer a little more before you die."

The man closed his eyes and said nothing. Xiao Mubei said coldly, "It seems that you are not going to speak. Very good. I am afraid that you will confess too quickly and I will not be able to torture you. Why don't you tell me whether you want to try the branding iron or the torture first?"

Chu Yunxi felt like she saw Xiao Mubei again when they first met. He exuded a cold aura and had a look on his face that said "keep away from strangers". This was a temperament he developed after being on the battlefield for a long time. Otherwise, he would not be worthy of the title of King Dingbei. Chu Yunxi had been with him these days, and he had been smiling more and more. But today, Zi Han was injured, and Xiao Mubei protected her, so this temperament was revealed again.

The man still kept his eyes closed and said nothing, but his body was trembling slightly. It seemed that he was not as fearless as he appeared.

Xiao Mubei picked up the hot soldering iron and put it into the water beside him, making a "sizzling" sound. Chu Yunxi saw that the man clenched his teeth and understood what Xiao Mubei wanted to do.

So she said, "Your Highness, these tortures are too old-fashioned. I heard that there is a kind of torture that is quite interesting. Cut the prisoner's body a dozen or twenty times, and then sprinkle sugar on the wounds. Then many ants will crawl on them. Just imagine, densely packed ants gnawing on the wounds, a black mass. How spectacular would that be? I haven't seen it yet. How about we try it, Your Highness?"

The man's body trembled even more violently. He opened his eyes and glared at Chu Yunxi fiercely, gritting his teeth and saying, "Poisonous woman!"

Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "Is it poisonous? I haven't finished talking yet. After the ants have eaten the sugar, they can sprinkle some salt on the wound. I heard that it tastes good. Do you want to try it too?"

As she said that, she turned her head and looked at Xiao Mubei, "Prince, do you think it's stimulating to stab someone? Do you have a dagger? I haven't operated on anyone yet, how about letting me try? I don't know how strong I am. If it's too small, do I have to cut a few more times? Otherwise, if the wound is too shallow, the feeling won't be that strong."

Xiao Mubei looked doting, "Since the princess is so interested, how can I spoil the fun? Here you go."

He pulled out a dagger and handed it over.
