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

Chu Yunxi said to the boat captain, "That's not right. According to the general routine, shouldn't a talented woman like Queen Mother Rong be relatively noble and not like to be trapped in the deep palace? And should she have a childhood sweetheart outside the palace?"

She was just teasing at first, but unexpectedly the captain nodded, "Miss, you are right. I heard that Queen Mother Rong does have a love interest in Bai Yueguang."

Even Bai Yueguang has come out. It's such a shame that the captain of the ship doesn't become a storyteller.

Chu Yunxi suppressed her laughter and pretended to be serious and said, "Oh? Really? Then, old man, do you know who her white moonlight is?"

"Miss, I really know," the captain laughed, "I heard that it was the loyal and brave Marquis of Dasui, Chu Xiuyao!"

"Snap!" With a crisp sound, everyone was startled, but they saw Chu Zhongxi crushed the cup in his hand, and his hand was bleeding.

He angrily threw the debris into the river and said angrily: "Who is spreading rumors and slandering General Chu here?"

The captain was also startled. Seeing Chu Zhongxi's bad face, he dared not say anything more. He only whispered, "It's said on the Luoshui River that the young emperor led the army in person and took Chu Xiuyao back on his mother's orders. But who knew that the loyal and brave marquis was so stubborn that he would rather give up his life than go back with the young emperor. In the end, he died on the battlefield. The young emperor had no choice but to take Chu Xiuyao's body back to his mother."

Everyone was stunned, and their joking mood disappeared. Could it be that Queen Mother Rong really had a connection with Chu Xiuyao?

Chu Yunxi looked at Chu Zhongxi in confusion. When Chu Zhongxi saw that even his younger sister was suspicious, he became even angrier and said, "This must be a rumor. If I can catch the rumormonger, I will tear him into pieces."

Chu Yunxi sighed, took out the medicine box, took Chu Zhongxi's hand, and helped him disinfect the wound. "Whether it's true or not, we need to verify it. There's no smoke without fire. Even if it's false, we need to know how this rumor came about."

Chu Zhongxi's anger subsided a little, and the captain didn't dare to speak anymore. He didn't know why he had angered the person in front of him.

There was silence on the boat for a moment.

When the atmosphere was awkward, Zi Han suddenly pointed to the river and asked, "What is that?"

They saw something floating up and down with the ripples of the river. Everyone stood up and looked over. Wen Rulan was the first to see clearly and said in a deep voice, "It's a person."

Everyone was shocked and quickly asked the captain to move the boat over, and everyone worked together to pull the person up.

This was a man in his twenties. Judging from the fabric of his clothes, he must be rich or noble, but his clothes were dirty, as if they had not been washed for a long time, and there were many tears in them. No one knew why he was in the river.

Chu Yunxi sniffed his breath, leaned over his chest to listen to his heartbeat, and said, "He's still alive."

She immediately ordered Xiao Mubei and Wen Rulan to lift the man up, head down, and helped him clear the debris in his mouth and nasal cavity. Then she half-knelt on the ground, pressed her knees against his abdomen, patted his back, and poured out the water accumulated in his respiratory tract.

Chu Yunxi then asked them to lay the man flat on the ground and began CPR, while instructing Wen Rulan, "Brother, give him artificial respiration."

Wen Rulan leaned over without saying a word and began to give the man artificial respiration. Chu Yunxi pressed thirty times, and he gave one artificial respiration. After several cycles, the man finally coughed and slowly opened his eyes.

Chu Yunxi was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and the captain was stunned. He had been sailing on the river for so many years, but he had never seen such a first aid method. He didn't expect that a drowning person could be rescued.

Chu Yunxi wiped the sweat from her forehead. Xiao Mubei helped the man sit up, leaned against the side of the boat, and asked, "What do you think?"

The man's face was still very pale, but his breathing had stabilized and he was conscious. However, there was fear in his eyes and he didn't speak.

Chu Zhongxi brought him a bowl of hot water and said, "Drink some hot water and rinse your mouth."

He looked at Chu Zhongxi timidly, as if judging whether he really wanted to give him water. Seeing that Chu Zhongxi's hand was stretched out in front of him, he hesitated and slowly reached out his hand, took the water and sipped it in small sips.

Chu Yunxi noticed that his cheeks were sunken, as if he had been hungry for a long time, so she asked Hongyu to bring some snacks over. When the man saw the food, his eyes immediately lit up, and he took the food and began to wolf it down.

Chu Yunxi said, "Slow down, no one is trying to snatch it from you. Drink some water before you eat, be careful not to choke."

The man turned a deaf ear to him and ate seven or eight osmanthus cakes and five or six golden coconut and date cakes before he stopped and drank a few sips of water. He looked alive again.

Chu Yunxi squatted in front of him and asked again: "Do you feel better?"

The man looked at Chu Yunxi and finally nodded slowly, but the fear in his eyes was still very heavy. Chu Yunxi said: "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people. You just fell into the water and we saved you."

The man looked back at the fast-flowing water of Luoshui River, and suddenly collapsed, holding his head. He trembled all over, and mumbled something in his mouth.

Chu Yunxi hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you are very safe on the boat now, you won't fall into the river again, you don't have to be afraid."

The man held his head tightly and dared not raise it. Chu Yunxi had no choice but to let Wen Rulan take him to the carriage to sleep for a while. She said, "He was too frightened. Someone must have thrown him into the river, which made him have an endless fear of the river."

Xiao Mubei asked: "Who would throw a living person into the river?"

Chu Yunxi said: "This river is the dividing line between Southern Xinjiang and Southern Di. I guess many people who want to harm others will choose this place because it is a no-man's land."

This is a public domain. Just like in Chu Yunxi's era, pirates usually operated in the high seas, where killing a few people was not a big deal.

It's the same here. If a crime is committed at such a border, the authorities on both sides will probably blame each other. After all, if the suspect is from the other country, it is not convenient to go over and arrest him. This invisibly encourages the criminals.

Xiao Mubei also understood this truth, but he had no other choice unless he swallowed up Nandi and expanded Nandi into the territory of Dasui, and made all these places one country. However, all these would require wars, and wars would cause great suffering to the people. It was really a difficult problem.

Chu Yunxi seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "It is only a matter of time before the world is unified. But things that are united for a long time must be divided, and things that are divided for a long time must be united. This is the law of nature. Don't think too much about it. Just let it go."
