When it comes down to it, this matter can be blamed on Aunt Zhang being too gossipy. It turns out that after she found out about Wang Youshan and Du Pei's affair, she not only told Qin Shiyue, but also told it to her son as a joke while they were having dinner at home.

"I didn't expect that Qin Shiyue's love rival is actually a man. This is outrageous. Ah Qiang, how can two men get together?"

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart. Zhang Aqiang has been unable to find a wife due to his leg disability. He is also a normal man. When he is anxious, he can only use the five-finger skill to comfort himself. After hearing what his mother said about Du Pei, he took it to heart.

So he often hung around the door, and when a man went to Du Pei's house, he went to the back of the house, looked inside through the gap in the window, and saw the scene inside.

After he returned, that scene would not go away in his mind. Whenever he closed his eyes, Du Pei's enjoying expression and soft body would appear in his mind. He would think, when can I also taste that ecstasy?

That afternoon, he saw Hu Min go to Du Pei's house and leave quickly. He wondered if Du Pei could have a good time in such a short time. As if by some strange coincidence, he slipped into Du Pei's house while no one was paying attention.

Du Pei was getting dressed and was startled when he saw Zhang Aqiang. Zhang Aqiang hugged him and said, "You've done it with so many men, so one more won't make a difference. I can make you happy, too. Come on..."

Du Pei was originally complaining that Hu Min was too hasty, but seeing that it was still early and there would be some time before Qin Shiyue came back, he reluctantly agreed to Zhang Aqiang's request.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Aqiang just saw what others did to Du Pei, so he followed suit and wrapped the white gauze around Du Pei's neck and grabbed his hands so that he could not break free. He had no experience, it was his first time, and he was too excited, so when he came to his senses, Du Pei had stopped breathing.

When Zhang Aqiang saw that he had caused a big disaster, he was extremely panicked. He hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out. When he went out, he carefully looked around and made sure that there was no one around before he came out quickly. The two families were very close, so as long as he left the Du family's door and met someone again, no one would care and would just think it was normal.

After returning home, it took him a long time to calm down the panic in his heart. Then he heard Qin Shiyue's scream and realized that something had happened. He thought about it and ran out again, pretending that he was attracted by Qin Shiyue's scream, and went in with other neighbors to see Du Pei's body.

After returning home, he instigated Aunt Zhang, saying that Qin Shiyue was a pitiful woman, and why not help bury Du Pei and put him to rest in the coffin. In fact, he was afraid that people would find out after a long time. Although Aunt Zhang was gossipy, she was also a kind-hearted person, so she went with Zhang Aqiang to ask Qin Shiyue to help her bury the body.

This is what happened. Zhang Aqiang finished speaking and said with a sad face: "Prince, Princess, you have to believe me. I really didn't kill Du Pei on purpose. I said the truth. I don't know why he died."

After listening to Zhang Aqiang's confession, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi realized that he did not commit intentional homicide. This was manslaughter, and although the nature of the crime was bad, he should not be sentenced to death.

At this point, after an afternoon and a night, they successfully solved the case of Du Pei's murder. Even Chu Yunxi herself felt that they were truly remarkable.

The subsequent trial was handed over to the county government to which Lijia Village belonged. Hu Min was acquitted, but Xiao Mubei also warned him that if he dared to act recklessly and oppress the people again in the future, he would not be let off easily.

Everyone was very happy that the murderer was caught. Old Madam Wan also looked at Wen Rulan in a different light, and Wan Ruwei was so admiring that her eyes were full of stars.

But after working non-stop all day and all night, everyone was exhausted. After finishing their work, they all started to catch up on their sleep and slept like a log.

When Chu Yunxi woke up again, it was already the next day. She couldn't believe that she had slept for a whole day and a night, but Hongyu and Qingmei told her clearly that she had indeed slept for a whole day and a night. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, everyone tacitly agreed not to call her.

Chu Yunxi was speechless to herself. He really slept too much. No wonder he was so hungry now.

Xiao Mubei and Wen Rulan have already ordered everyone to start packing. Hei Mu has recovered a lot after a few days of rest, and the group is preparing to return to the capital.

This time he brought Old He and Erniu, as well as Madam Wan and Wan Ruwei. The Wanjian Sect was not destroyed, and now the third-ranked Shao Yuheng is in charge. Madam Wan is leaving, and Shao Yuheng is reluctant to let her go. He tries every means to keep her, hoping that Madam Wan can stay in the Wanjian Sect and take charge of the overall situation.

But Madam Wan has become disheartened and is unwilling to set foot in the world again. She just wants to find a quiet place, stay with Wan Ruwei, and live a quiet life for a few years.

Shao Yuheng had no choice but to ask Wan Ruwei to take good care of her grandmother and write him a letter after she settled down to let him know that they were safe.

Wan Ruwei agreed. She was also reluctant to leave. After all, Wanjian Sect was the place where she grew up. It would be a lie to say that she was not sad to suddenly leave for a long time.

Two days later, the group finally set out on the journey back to the capital. This time, there were two more carriages than when they came. One was occupied by Mr. He and Erniu, and the other was occupied by Madam Wan and Wan Ruwei.

Qingmei also stayed in He Lao's carriage and refused to get off. She pestered He Lao every day to learn witchcraft. She had a strong desire for knowledge and asked questions every day. He Lao was also very patient. As long as she asked, he would explain it clearly.

Chu Yunxi went to He Lao's carriage less often. She was also very busy, treating Hei Mu's injuries, discussing the case with Xiao Mubei, and how to report to Emperor Sui Ming about this trip to Nandi.

Time passed quickly, and soon half a month had gone by in a flash, and they were only a hundred miles away from the capital.

When they arrived at a town that day, Chu Yunxi suggested finding an inn and having a good sleep at night. Everyone naturally agreed. They had been sleeping in the open air all the way and were very tired. Now that they were about to reach the capital, they could finally relax.

So the group stayed at the largest inn in the town, asked for a few upper rooms, and went to wash up and rest.

They had dinner in the lobby of the inn. Chu Yunxi took a few bites of the food and sighed, "Brother, I miss the food at Ruyun Tower. The food there is the most to my liking."

Wan Ruwei asked curiously, "Where is Ruyun Tower?"

Wen Rulan smiled and said, "That's the restaurant I opened in the capital. The prince and princess, Baiyu and Heimu, are all shareholders and can get dividends from Ruyunlou."

"What are shareholders and what are dividends?" Wan Ruwei adhered to the high quality of asking questions when she didn't understand something, and curiously asked Wen Rulan. Wen Rulan also responded with good temper, and there was a happy atmosphere between the two of them.
