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

This Aqiang is a major suspect! Chu Yunxi said to Xiao Mubei: "Your Majesty, arrest Aqiang immediately and interrogate him overnight."

After Qin Shiyue told them where Aunt Zhang's house was, Zi Han quickly knocked on the door. Aunt Zhang opened the door and cursed, "Who is the wicked one who won't let us sleep in the middle of the night?"

Zi Han's face was icy, "The Dali Temple has been ordered to arrest your son Aqiang. Where is he?"

Aunt Zhang was stunned for a long while. Seeing that she didn't answer, Zi Han simply pushed her aside and walked straight into the door. Aunt Zhang woke up as if from a dream. She hurriedly followed Zi Han and asked repeatedly, "Miss, you have found the wrong person, why did you arrest Aqiang? He is an honest man and has never done anything bad..."

Before she could finish her words, Zi Han saw a figure flash out of the back door, and she immediately shouted, "Stop, don't run!"

Ignoring Aunt Zhang, Zi Han used her Qinggong skills to chase after her, leaving Aunt Zhang standing in her yard like a fool, not knowing what had happened.

Zi Han quickly caught up with A Qiang who had run away and grabbed him back. Aunt Zhang rushed over and slapped A Qiang, crying, "Why are you running away, you rebellious son, what on earth did you do?"

Xiao Mubei ordered the purple guards to take the man away directly. Chu Yunxi stopped Aunt Zhang who wanted to chase after him and said, "Aunt Zhang, we suspect that it was your son Ah Qiang who killed Du Pei. We are taking him back for investigation. You wait for news at home. If it is confirmed that it is not him, we will release him."

"What did you say?" Aunt Zhang was stunned as if struck by lightning. Chu Yunxi arranged for a purple-clothed guard to watch over her temporarily in case anything happened to her.

Qin Shiyue was also stunned watching all this. When Chu Yunxi was about to leave, she hurriedly chased after him and asked in a low voice: "Princess, was it really Aqiang who... killed my husband?"

Chu Yunxi said: "It's just a suspicion for now, but based on my many years of experience in handling cases, there is an 80% chance that it's him."

Qin Shiyue looked in disbelief at the direction where Aqiang was taken away. She could not associate him with the murderer of Du Pei.

A Qiang was taken to Zhuoma's house, which had recently become a temporary trial place for the Dali Temple. It was guarded by soldiers and could be said to be impregnable.

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi sat at the top, A Qiang knelt on the ground and trembled constantly, Zi Han and the purple-clothed guards stood on both sides, putting a lot of pressure on A Qiang.

Waiting is the strongest way to break down a person's psychological defenses. Xiao Mubei knew this very well, so he did not ask questions right away. Instead, he left A Qiang alone for about an incense stick of time. Seeing that he was about to fall down and even his legs were shaking, Xiao Mubei finally spoke.

"Who are you kneeling to?"

A Qiang said in a trembling voice: "I am... Zhang A Qiang."

"Zhang Aqiang, why are you running when you see people from the Dali Temple?"

Zhang Aqiang knelt on the ground, not daring to look up, "I'm... I'm scared..."

"If you haven't done anything wrong, why are you afraid of someone knocking on your door in the middle of the night? Tell the truth!"

Xiao Mubei's voice suddenly rose, which frightened Zhang Aqiang so much that he lowered his head even lower.

"I...I owed a gambling debt recently, and I thought it was the debt collector, so I ran away."

"Nonsense!" Xiao Mubei slammed the table. "When the Purple Guards came in, they told your mother that they were from the Dali Temple, not debt collectors. You clearly killed someone and are fleeing for fear of punishment. If you don't tell the truth, I will make you feel like a thousand ants are gnawing at your heart."

"Your Highness, I am innocent. I really didn't kill Du Pei."

Chu Yunxi then spoke up, "How do you know we are saying that you killed Du Pei?"

Zhang Aqiang was sweating and said in panic, "Isn't it? Princess, because I only know that Du Pei died recently, so I naturally think you are talking about Du Pei."

I didn't expect that Zhang Aqiang has such a strong ability to adapt to changing circumstances and has a good psychological quality. I really couldn't tell.

Chu Yunxi said, "You said you didn't kill Du Pei, so where were you on the third day of the second lunar month at 00:00? Is there anyone who can prove it for you?"

"I'm...at home, and my mother is here too."

Chu Yunxi saw that his eyes were wandering and his expression was hesitant. It was obvious that he was lying. He was betting that if they went to question Aunt Zhang, she would help him cover up.

Chu Yunxi thought about it, waved Zi Han over, whispered a few words in Zi Han's ear, and Zi Han left.

Zhang Aqiang didn't know what Chu Yunxi was doing. He looked up guiltily, wanting to see what Chu Yunxi had told Zi Han. However, he was glared at by Xiao Mubei and quickly bent down again.

Chu Yunxi stood up, slowly walked to Zhang Aqiang's side, squatted down and whispered: "Zhang Aqiang, have you ever heard of the Dali Temple?"

Zhang Aqiang didn't know what Chu Yunxi meant, so he could only nod.

Chu Yunxi said: "Then you must have heard that there is no murder case that the Dali Temple cannot solve, and no one can fool the Dali Temple. Those who dare to lie to the Dali Temple will end up in a very miserable way."

The beads of sweat on Zhang Aqiang's forehead poured out one after another, gathered into a line of water, and dripped onto the ground with a "tick-tock" sound.

He forced a smile and said, "Princess, you are joking. How dare I lie in front of you and the prince?"

"It'd be better. Otherwise, the prince's words about the ants gnawing at your heart are not meant to scare you. Once upon a time, there were two famous bandits with great martial arts skills. They couldn't even last an incense stick under the prince's ants gnawing at your heart. How long do you think you can last?"

Ten Thousand Ants Devouring the Heart is Wen Rulan's unique skill, and Chu Yunxi uses it to scare people in a very serious manner.

Zhang Aqiang's body, which had finally stabilized, began to tremble again. Chu Yunxi stood up with satisfaction, sat down again and started drinking tea.

It was already late at night, and when no one was talking, everything was silent. Zhang Aqiang was becoming more and more nervous, not knowing what Chu Yunxi was up to.

After a while, there was a slight sound in the yard, and then Zi Han's figure reappeared.

After she came in, she whispered a few words in Chu Yunxi's ear. Chu Yunxi nodded and asked Zi Han to leave. She then said to Xiao Mubei, "My Lord, it seems that Zhang Aqiang doesn't take you seriously and wants to have a taste of the pain of being eaten by thousands of ants. Why don't you help him?"

Before Xiao Mubei could say anything, Zhang Aqiang said in a panic, "Princess, how dare I not take the prince seriously? Where did you get this from?"

Chu Yunxi's pretty face turned cold, "Aunt Zhang went to the market that day and didn't come back until dark, but you said she was at home with you. How do you explain it?"

"I..." Zhang Aqiang was speechless and couldn't speak.

Xiao Mubei slammed the table again, "Zhang Aqiang, tell me the truth about how you raped and killed Du Pei!"

Zhang Aqiang was so frightened that he burst into tears, "My Lord and Princess, please understand. I really didn't mean to kill him. This... this was really just an accident!"

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi both breathed a sigh of relief.
