Xiao Mubei was unmoved, his eyes were still cold. Chen San woke up slowly at this time, and when he saw Chen Si's condition, he immediately said with pain: "Old Four, don't talk nonsense, everything will wait until the boss comes back."

Bai Yu kicked him again, "Wait for the boss? Do you think you can wait any longer?"

Chen San closed his mouth and groaned, but still refused to say anything.

After being reminded by Chen San, Chen Si seemed to remember something and stopped talking. Hei Mu also beat him up, but he just kept saying that this was his first offense and begged the prince to spare his life.

Seeing that they couldn't get anything out of them, they all looked at Xiao Mubei, waiting for him to make a decision.

Xiao Mubei thought about it, then gave his token to Hei Mu and asked him to go to the neighboring county Qizhu County to call the county magistrate. Qizhu County was half a day's journey from Muyue Town. If he rode lightly, he could go even faster and be back around midnight.

Hei Mu took the token and left. Just in case, Xiao Mubei took out the token given to him by Emperor Sui Ming and asked Bai Yu to borrow troops from the Yongzhou military camp twenty miles away.

Wen Rulan knew that he was planning to take action against Wang Youkang. She originally wanted to wait for Emperor Sui Ming to send someone, but she didn't expect them to be so disregarding of human life. She would never tolerate them again.

Just as they had made the arrangements, Chu Yunxi's scream suddenly came from next door. Xiao Mubei and Wen Rulan were startled at the same time. Without caring about the four people in the room, they immediately ran to the next room as fast as possible.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Chu Yunxi desperately pulling the woman. The woman had blood on her forehead and was yelling, "Let me die, I want to accompany Tuantuan, let me die."

Wen Rulan stepped forward and knocked the woman unconscious with a palm strike, and asked, "What's going on?"

Chu Yunxi said: "She was just lying down to sleep and nothing happened, but she suddenly got up and tried to commit suicide, and banged her head against the wall. I hurried to pull her out, and you guys came over."

She hit her head against the wall, but she was still conscious. It seemed that she didn't use much force, and she didn't really want to die. When Wen Rulan said this, Chu Yunxi thought of a suspicious point, "No, she must have used a lot of force. Logically speaking, she should have fainted if she didn't die. This wall..."

Chu Yunxi looked at the wall that the woman had just hit and felt something was wrong. Why did it look like the wall was concave?

Chu Yunxi walked closer, touched the wall inch by inch, knocked on it with her hand, and then said with certainty: "This wall is empty."

Xiao Mubei also stepped forward to take a look, touched it, and indeed found a dent. He said, "Stand to the side."

Chu Yunxi took a few steps back. Xiao Mubei used his inner strength and punched the wall. Mud fell from the wall. The wall had cracked. Xiao Mubei followed with another punch. There was a "crash" sound, and a big hole appeared on the wall. Then something fell down with the wall.

Chu Yunxi looked carefully and her eyes suddenly widened. Wen Rulan and Xiao Mubei were also stunned. They saw that what fell to the ground were two tiny baby corpses!

The body was covered in mud and dust. It had not yet completely decayed, and some parts had turned into bones. It looked horrifying.

Chu Yunxi raised her eyes dully and looked at the big hole in the wall. A piece of arm bone was exposed inside. It was obvious that there was still a corpse or bones inside.

Chu Yunxi felt as if there was a thousand pounds of weight under her feet. After so many years as a forensic doctor, what she hated most was examining the bodies of children. That little body should correspond to happiness and carefreeness, but someone was lying on the cold morgue, being dissected by cold instruments.

Chu Yunxi slowly walked to the two bodies, squatted down, put on gloves and began to examine them. While examining, she tried her best to keep her voice steady, but it was still a little trembling.

"The deceased were two male infants, just one month old or no more than two months old, and died about a year ago."

Wen Rulan had quietly walked to the wall and first moved out the corpses exposed outside. Then he began to punch the wall one by one, moving out the corpses he found.

After one wall was destroyed, twelve babies' bodies were found.

Looking at the corpses parked in a row, the three people felt very heavy in their hearts. Chu Yunxi checked the corpses one by one and found that the time of death varied. The longest was almost five years ago, and the shortest seemed to have been buried just in the past one or two months.

"What a bunch of beasts." Chu Yunxi couldn't help but curse.

Wen Rulan frowned, "No, there should be more than just these bodies of the Chen family. You know, just now, they wanted to kill both the mother and the child at the same time. The bodies of the children are here, but where are the bodies of the mothers?"

"It should be in this house," Xiao Mubei said, "I'll ask the Purple Guards to come in and look for it. If this house doesn't work, we'll tear it down."

Wen Rulan and Chu Yunxi both agreed.

So Xiao Mubei went out to prepare to place a mark for Zi Han to bring the Purple Guards over. Just after placing the mark, he turned around and glanced into the room inadvertently. His face suddenly changed, and he immediately hurried into the room where Chen San and Chen Si were tied up.

Apart from the crib, where was any trace of those four people?

"Brother, come here quickly." Xiao Mubei shouted, and Wen Rulan and Chu Yunxi immediately ran out. When they saw the empty room, their faces changed.

Chu Yunxi looked around and said, "There is nothing here. If someone disappeared out of thin air, either someone sneaked in and released them, or there must be a secret passage."

Wen Rulan shook her head, "No one is coming."

Although he had been busy just now, he had never let down his guard and had been listening to the movements outside. He had strong internal strength, so his hearing was also amazing. If someone came in from the door, he was sure that he would be able to hear it.

Since they didn't enter through the door, it must be a secret passage. The three people looked around the room, trying to find the switch to open the secret passage and chase the person, but they couldn't find the switch after searching for a while.

While they were searching, Zi Han flew in and whispered, "Your Majesty, Wang Youkang brought a lot of people here. I asked the Purple Guards to hide first."

Xiao Mubei's face was gloomy. "It seems that Wang Youkang can no longer hold back and has decided not to let me go."

"What should we do?" Chu Yunxi looked at Wen Rulan and Xiao Mubei.

Xiao Mubei curled his lips, "Since he is so eager to die, I have no choice but to help him. Senior Brother, please go to the roof and watch, and wait for an opportunity to escape the encirclement and meet up with the Purple Guards. If a fight really breaks out, we can break through from the outside."

Wen Rulan went away as requested.

Xiao Mubei asked Zi Han to hide with the Purple Guards first, then held Chu Yunxi's hand and said softly, "Are you scared?"

Chu Yunxi shook her head, took out her needle crossbow, and waved it in front of Xiao Mubei, "Don't forget, Your Majesty, I also know Kung Fu. Let me show you my skills later."
