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

Lijia Village is quite large. Perhaps because it is located at a transportation fortress, some people who want to take a shortcut into the hinterland of southern Xinjiang will choose to pass through Lijia Village. Therefore, there are not only many shops selling things here, but also inns for resting. It is not surprising to see outsiders, and they are very welcoming. Therefore, when Xiao Mubei and his group entered the village, they did not attract much attention.

Xiao Mubei found an inn, asked for a few rooms, and let Hongyu and the others rest first. He, Chu Yunxi, Chu Zhongxi and Wen Rulan went into a room, closed the door, and discussed what to do next.

Chu Yunxi said: "Since that person asked me to report the news, I think I can go to Zhuoma to get some information and see if I can get anything useful."

Xiao Mubei was the first to object, "No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone."

Chu Zhongxi also said: "That's right, it's very dangerous here, you can't act alone."

Wen Rulan said, "I'll go with Chuchu. She's going there as the third young lady of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, so it's not too much for her to have a guard with her."

Xiao Mubei still had concerns, "What if the other party already knows about the Zhongyong Marquis' Mansion and knows that Yunxi married into the Dingbei Palace, then she will still be in danger."

"I can only take a gamble," Chu Yunxi said, "I think this place is far from the capital, and the other party may not know so many details. Besides, I have that person's letter, so the credibility should be much higher."

When she first crossed over to this body, the original owner had the jade hairpin and the letter on him. Chu Yunxi couldn't understand them at the time, and she had received too many memories at that time, so she didn't pay attention to it. She just put the things on the original owner into the Liyue bracelet. Later, there were too many things to do and she completely forgot about them. After seeing the original owner in her dream that day, she went to look for them in the Liyue bracelet, and sure enough, she found the letter and the jade hairpin.

Xiao Mubei was still worried, so Wen Rulan said, "This is the only way to get close to Zhuoma now, and it is reasonable and the way that will least arouse his suspicion. We have to investigate it, so don't hesitate, I'm here."

Xiao Mubei naturally had no doubts about Wen Rulan's ability, and he also knew that what he said was true, so he made up his mind, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the inn. The Purple Guards and the army are nearby. If anything happens, safety comes first."

It was settled, Chu Yunxi and Wen Rulan decided to set off immediately. Xiao Mubei took out a small tube the size of a finger from his body and gave it to Chu Yunxi, "This is the communication tube of Dingbei Palace. It will emit a sound that only we can understand. If you encounter danger, just take it out and press the switch to the sky."

This was the first time Chu Yunxi had seen this communication tube. She only knew that it was very convenient for Xiao Mubei to contact Baiyu and Heimu, but she never knew how they did it. Now she finally saw it.

She took it and studied it. It was indeed very convenient and not easy to be discovered by the enemy. So she put it in her arms and said to Xiao Mubei and Chu Zhongxi: "My Lord, Second Brother, don't worry, I will protect myself. Don't forget that I am not a pushover."

Xiao Mubei laughed, because he was too concerned. He always forgot that Chu Yunxi was also very skilled, and she also had a needle crossbow, the power of which should not be underestimated.

"Okay, please, Senior Brother, please send me the message at any time."

Everything was ready. Chu Yunxi and Wen Rulan drove a carriage, pretending to be on a long journey, and stopped directly in front of Zhuoma's door.

Someone immediately came out and asked, "Who is it?"

Wen Rulan jumped off the carriage. He had now returned to his Beijing attire and said to the doorman, "Please inform Village Chief Zhuoma that Chu Yunxi, the third daughter of the Zhongyong Marquis' Mansion in Beijing, has been entrusted by someone to come and deliver a message."

"The Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery?" The man looked at the carriage and found it was indeed of the style of the capital. The breeze blew up the curtain a little, revealing the corner of a white skirt.

"Hold on."

Seeing that it was a noble from the capital, the doorman did not dare to be rude. He said something and went in to pass the message. Wen Rulan sat on the carriage again and said to Chu Yunxi in a low voice, "There are many masters hiding in the dark of this house. I'm afraid it's not just Zhuoma's home."

Chu Yunxi hummed softly, "Think of a way to investigate after we go in."

Wen Rulan nodded. The doorman came running out, held the horse, and said, "The village chief wants to invite guests."

Wen Rulan helped Chu Yunxi get off the carriage, handed the carriage to the doorman, said "thank you", and went in with Chu Yunxi.

A maid was already waiting at the door and said politely, "Dear guest, please follow me."

Chu Yunxi nodded slightly and followed the maid into the yard. The courtyard was very large, with houses in front and back that stretched as far as the eye could see. There were pavilions, towers, bridges, flowing water, and large gardens, all of which were decorated very elegantly. Chu Yunxi felt that the Dingbei Palace was no more than that.

Chu Yunxi and Wen Rulan looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes. It was amazing that the home of a village chief was decorated better than some wealthy families in the capital, and could even be compared with the prince's palace.

The maid brought the two to the side hall, where someone had already served them tea. The maid politely asked them to wait, saying that the village chief would be out soon, and then she left.

Chu Yunxi was about to speak when she was stopped by a look from Wen Rulan. He glanced upwards and Chu Yunxi immediately understood, so she picked up the tea, blew on it, and took a sip.

Wen Rulan stood behind Chu Yunxi but didn't sit down. The two of them waited quietly. After about a cup of tea, a sturdy man dressed in southern Xinjiang came over with a big laugh and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Chu Yunxi stood up with a smile and said, "Ms. Zhuoma is too polite. It is my fault for being so rude."

Chu Yunxi was wearing a long white dress today, with a white veil on her face, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes, looking around with a charming look. Zhuoma was slightly stunned, then she reacted and said, "Miss San, please take a seat. I heard from the servants that Miss San was entrusted by someone to deliver a message?"

"Yes."

"I wonder who entrusted you with this?"

Chu Yunxi lowered her eyes and smiled, saying, "I'm ashamed. Yunxi doesn't know the name of the person you entrusted me to. I just promised to repay the favor because I owed him a favor. As long as I'm entrusted, I won't ask the reason. So, please forgive me, Master Zhuoma."

"Oh?" Zhuoma was a little surprised. "Miss Third is a man of his word. I admire her. What message is she going to deliver?"

Chu Yunxi said calmly: "The time has come."

Zhuoma's expression was stern. Chu Yunxi took out the letter from her sleeve and handed it over. "This is the letter from that person. Please take a look, Master Zhuoma."

Zhuoma took the letter, unfolded it and read it twice, with a solemn expression, and said to Chu Yunxi: "Thank you, Third Miss, for coming all the way to deliver the letter. I will ask the maid to take Third Miss to rest. I have something else to do, so I will leave you for the time being."
