The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 272: Case Closed in Jumu Village
Ke Yuwen cried bitterly, "Your Highness, I don't know why I was bewitched by the devil. Yes, it's all because of him." He pointed at Hong Qingshan and said excitedly, "He instigated me. I didn't agree at first. Whether it was the salt mine or the destruction of Jumu Village, I didn't agree. He kept instigating me, and I was soft-hearted and made a big mistake... Your Highness, I really didn't do it voluntarily..."
Hong Qingshan was entangled by Zi Han and it was very difficult to fight, but he still heard what Ke Yuwen said. He couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "Ke Yuwen, you dog official, it's obvious that you are greedy. You found the salt mine and wanted to embezzle it, so you asked me to cooperate with you and asked me to help you find someone. You also wanted to use my masters, but now you are biting me back. I really misjudged you."
As he spoke, he dodged Zi Han's fierce attack and was forced into silence by Zi Han.
Ke Yuwen ignored Hong Qingshan and continued to kneel at Xiao Mubei's feet, begging, "Your Majesty, please have mercy on me, I was really deceived."
Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi were really shocked by Ke Yuwen's shamelessness. They never expected that such a person had been the chief official of Qingluo Town for so many years. They wondered how many evil things he had done over the years.
At this time, Hong Qingshan screamed, then fell down, and there was no sound anymore. The other people dressed as yamen runners were also killed. When Ke Yuwen saw that Hong Qingshan and the others were killed, he instantly collapsed to the ground, unable to speak anymore.
Xiao Mubei called Wu Xu and ordered him to arrange for someone to escort Ke Yuwen back to the Dali Temple. He wrote a letter and asked them to take it to Li Jinghong. He believed that Li Jinghong would know how to deal with it.
Wu Xu also arranged for people to go to the county government office in Qingluo Town to wipe out Ke Yuwen's followers one by one. Xiao Mubei ordered Wu Xu to temporarily take over the position of Qingluo Town County Magistrate until Li Jinghong reported to the court and a new county magistrate was sent down.
At this point, the case of the annihilation of Jumu Village was successfully solved. The large lychee forest in Jumu Village could not be left unattended, so Xiao Mubei asked Wu Xu to leave some soldiers behind to look after it, and another part to guard the salt mine, waiting for the court to send professional talents to develop it.
Chu Yunxi brought He Lao and Erniu to the collective tomb of Jumu Village to pay homage. After spending the past few days together, Erniu has become completely dependent on He Lao. He held He Lao's hand all the way and even hid when he saw Chu Yunxi. Chu Yunxi knew that he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and needed timely treatment to recover.
Chu Yunxi said to He Lao: "Master, Erniu needs treatment now, and you are old and need someone to take care of you. Come back to the capital with me. Otherwise, I am worried about you staying here alone."
He Lao hesitated for a long time before he said, "I really can't bear to leave the place where I have lived all my life, but I really can't stay here any longer. Otherwise, as soon as I go out, I will think of the old man, Erniu's mother, and every elder and fellow villager in the village. I think I am afraid I can't stay here any longer."
"Then what the master means is..."
"I will go to the capital with you, bring Erniu with me, and teach you witchcraft at the same time." Old He made up his mind.
"Okay," Chu Yunxi was finally relieved. She had been worried for the past two days that Mr. He would not agree, and was thinking about how to convince him. Unexpectedly, Mr. He thought very clearly.
After paying respects to the elders and fellow villagers, Chu Yunxi went to help He Lao pack up his things. In fact, most of He Lao's things were those Gu worms. He Lao found two large boxes and put all the Gu worms in them. Then he patted them and smiled proudly, "This is my treasure. I will not pass it on to anyone else except my apprentice."
"Ah?" Chu Yunxi didn't expect that all these poisonous insects were passed on to her. She couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said, "Master, your treasure, you should keep it for now. I don't know how to do anything yet."
He Lao didn't notice Chu Yunxi's embarrassment. He was excited when talking about Gu, so he kept talking: "I definitely won't give it to you now. You won't be able to raise it even if I give it to you. It would be a pity if you raise it to death. I will pass on all my skills to you, and then I will pass on the Gu worm to you."
"That's good, that's good." Chu Yunxi patted her chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After packing up, Chu Yunxi went back to her father and aunt's home to see Hei Mu. After a few days of rest and Chu Yunxi's meticulous care, with precious medicinal herbs applied relentlessly, Hei Mu finally got much better and was able to get out of bed and walk around.
So Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei discussed and decided to set off back to Beijing the next day.
On the way back, they passed by Lijia Village again and took a detour to go to Zhuoma's yard to see how Wen Rulan and Wan Ruwei were doing.
Zhuoma has committed suicide, and Xiao Junxiang has been taken back to Beijing. The people imprisoned in this courtyard now are not the main culprits from the Wanjian Sect and Zhuoma's faction.
Because Xiao Mubei and his men had made complete preparations, they immediately stopped the people from the Wanjian Sect and Zhuoma as soon as they made any move. As a result, many people did not participate in anything substantially. This was also Xiao Mubei's intention. Since those who did not participate much, they would be treated as ignorant and not guilty. But since they had been in the Evil Emperor Star organization before, they were locked up in Zhuoma's yard to repent, and they were released after a while.
The people guarding this yard now are naturally Wu Xu's men, that is, Xiao Mubei's men. As soon as Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi arrived here, they went in immediately.
Chu Yunxi did not send anyone to tell Wen Rulan in advance, as she wanted to give him a surprise. Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked into the yard, she saw Wan Ruwei crying on Wen Rulan's shoulder. Wen Rulan was patting her back tenderly to comfort her.
Chu Yunxi turned around awkwardly, thinking that she would come back later. She came at a very bad time. Unexpectedly, Wen Rulan had already seen her and said hurriedly, "Stand still. Now that you are here, where else do you want to run to? I just happened to be looking for you."
Chu Yunxi turned around awkwardly and saw that Wan Ruwei had left Wen Rulan's shoulder and was standing aside wiping her tears, so she coughed lightly and walked over and said, "Brother, why did you bully Xiaowei and make a girl cry like this?"
"I…"
Wen Rulan wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but Wan Ruwei spoke up, "Brother Wen didn't bully me, it's just that grandma is seriously ill, and the doctor said she might not survive for a few more days. I was sad, so I... lost my composure."
Her voice was getting weaker and weaker, and she was choking a little. Wen Rulan said at this time: "I was planning to ask someone to call you over to let the old lady see you, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself. How come you have mastered the Gu technique? So quickly?"
"This is a long story. Since the old lady is not in good health, let's go see her first. We can talk about the matter of Jumu Village later." Chu Yunxi pulled Wan Ruwei away. Saving people is like putting out a fire. There is no time to waste.
