The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 264 Besieged
When he found the last cell, he saw Hei Mu, but he was covered in blood and was obviously tortured. Hearing the noise outside the cell, he raised his head with great effort and saw Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi. His eyes lit up and he struggled to stand up. He said in a hoarse voice, "Prince, Princess."
Chu Yunxi was furious. When Xiao Mubei split the cell door open with his sword, she went in and checked Heimu's injuries. She said angrily, "Who beat you like this?"
Hei Mu smiled bitterly, "It was the county magistrate who insisted that my token was fake, that I had ulterior motives and was reporting a false case, and ordered the bailiffs to arrest me. I originally wanted to leave, but I didn't expect the bailiffs to use drugs, and I was careless..."
Chu Yunxi was furious when she heard this. "A government office actually used drugs. How can this be allowed? It seems that Qingluo Town is also a lawless place."
Xiao Mubei's face was also terribly gloomy. Hei Mu had been with him for so long, and apart from the time when he almost died, when had he ever been injured so badly? He was beaten by the people from the government office. This was intolerable.
"What is the name of the Qingluo Town magistrate?"
Hei Mu propped himself up and said, "I heard the servants call him Lord Ke."
"Okay, let's leave here first. Lord Ke has reached the end of his career." Xiao Mubei said in a cold voice, then squatted down to carry Heimu on his back.
Hei Mu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I can walk. How can I let you carry me on your back?"
He hurriedly propped himself up and tried to get off the ground, but his knees went weak and he fell to the ground. Xiao Mubei was quick to grab him and threw him on his back, saying, "Stop nagging, Yunxi, follow me."
Chu Yunxi responded and followed closely behind Xiao Mubei, and everyone quickly retreated out of the prison.
Just as he reached the prison gate, he heard the sound of fighting outside. Xiao Mubei said, "Not good." He grabbed Chu Yunxi with one hand and supported Heimu with the other, and quickly came to the door. He saw Zi Han and the Purple Guards fighting with someone.
There were two people standing nearby watching the fight. One was a tall and thin man wearing the county magistrate's uniform, he should be Lord Ke. The other was a tall and strong man wearing cloth, they stood side by side with County Magistrate Ke, the two of them were actually talking and laughing.
"Master Ke is wise. Sure enough, someone came to rob the prison. These rebels are so bold that they even dared to break into the county government office. They just thought you were soft-hearted. In my opinion, the man yesterday should have been killed directly. Today, these people should be killed one by one, and if they come in pairs, they should be killed in pairs!"
Lord Ke smiled and said, "Brother Qingshan, these people even dare to pretend to be the King of Dingbei in the capital. I want to see who they are and who has come to our Qingluo Town."
"No matter who he is, if he wants to meddle in the affairs of Qingluo Town, he should consider his own capabilities."
Xiao Mubei looked at the people who were fighting with the Purple-Robed Guards. They were wearing yamen runners' uniforms, but their martial arts were not comparable to that of ordinary yamen runners. Their number was probably three or four more than that of the Purple-Robed Guards, yet they fought the Purple-Robed Guards to a draw. You should know that the Purple-Robed Guards in the palace were all carefully selected and trained by Xiao Mubei, and their martial arts were comparable to the first-rate masters in the martial arts world.
Chu Yunxi also whispered: "These yamen runners are not right. They are ruthless and deadly, and they are well-trained. They are definitely not ordinary yamen runners."
As she spoke, her nose moved and she suddenly said, "It smells like poison. Everyone hold your breath."
Just as he finished speaking, a yamen runner raised his hand and a burst of white powder scattered and flew all over the sky. The other yamen runners all retreated. Fortunately, the purple-clothed guards heard Chu Yunxi's warning and retreated, retreating to Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei.
Chu Yunxi's warning successfully attracted the attention of the two spectators.
The man named Qingshan said with a smile: "Oh, so there are masters here. Girl, you are quite capable. Why don't you follow me and I will spare your life?"
Chu Yunxi curled her lips, "What's the benefit of following you?"
"As for the benefits, they are innumerable. At least, you have someone to command you, and you can spend money as you please."
"Is that all?" Chu Yunxi laughed sarcastically. "You want me to follow you, but you don't even consider how much you are capable of? You are so ugly, no one would want to follow you. Are you as handsome as my prince? Do you have as much money as my prince? Do you have as many people at his disposal as my prince? Can you give me fine clothes and delicious food? Can you give me trust and tolerance? Can you give me space to display my strengths?"
Qingshan's face turned pale with anger after hearing Chu Yunxi's words. He didn't know what to say for a moment and said angrily, "You keep calling me your prince. Are you addicted to pretending to be my prince? You are a woman, what do you want to do?"
"Autopsy? I'm a coroner, and I only know how to do autopsies. How about you die so I can use my expertise?"
"You..." Qingshan was so angry at Chu Yunxi, "You are so sweet-talking. Since you are looking for death, don't blame us for not being gentle with women."
Xiao Mubei spoke up at this time, "Master Ke, you'd better think about it. If I am the real King of Dingbei, and you commit insubordination tonight, you will lose your official hat and your life."
Lord Ke's face changed, and he hesitated. Seeing that the situation was not right, Qingshan immediately said to Lord Ke: "Sir, don't listen to his nonsense. The King of Dingbei returned from Southern Xinjiang in defeat half a year ago. I heard that he is now the Minister of Dali Temple. Since he has an official position, why would he come to our Southern Xinjiang? This person must be an imposter. Besides..."
His voice got lower and lower, and the rest of the words were spoken while he covered his mouth and leaned over to whisper in Lord Ke's ear. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi could not hear them. They only saw Lord Ke's face gradually become firm again. He waved his hand and ordered, "Kill without mercy!"
More than a dozen yamen runners rushed in from outside the courtyard and surrounded the group. Hei Mu struggled to get down and said, "Your Majesty, please step back and let your subordinates come down."
"Stand still. We don't need you for now."
Hei Mu looked at Xiao Mubei in surprise, but saw him raise his hand and release a flare. The door of the county government office was kicked open immediately. More than 20 yamen runners, the county magistrate and Qingshan turned around at the same time and saw that more than a hundred men in black had surrounded everyone in the yard in the blink of an eye.
One of the men in black stepped out from the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Ke Yuwen, you don't want to pay your respects to King Dingbei, do you want to be beheaded?"
Ke Yuwen was startled and asked in a trembling voice, "General Wu... General Wu?"
The man who came was Wu Xu. He took off the black scarf covering his face and said angrily, "Ke Yuwen, you are getting bolder and bolder. You even have such a group of experts under your command. Do you want to turn the county government into a gang?"
Ke Yuwen's forehead was covered with sweat, and he stammered, "He...he is really the King of Dingbei?"
"Guaranteed genuine." Wu Xu's words were powerful and unquestionable. The blood color on Ke Yuwen's face faded away completely in an instant.
