Zhao Yuzhi hurriedly scolded the man, "Tingyu, come and meet the prince and princess."

Zhao Tingyu was stunned for a moment, then bowed politely, "Greetings, Your Majesty, Princess."

He was still wearing a pink dress, which was very exaggerated. Zhao Yuzhi was a little embarrassed and apologized quickly, "Your Majesty, Princess, I am sorry for my rude behavior and made you laugh."

Xiao Mubei nodded, "It's okay. This is my first time meeting your son. He is also very handsome and has the demeanor of Lord Zhao."

Chu Yunxi smiled secretly. This father and son had no similarities at all. If she guessed correctly, Lord Zhao was probably very disappointed with his son, but he had to help him clean up the mess.

He is also a son who betrays his father.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xiao Mubei said, "Since Madam Zhao is waiting for Lord Zhao, we won't disturb her. Goodbye, Lord Zhao should go back soon."

"Excuse me, I am sorry for the inconvenience. I will visit Your Majesty another day."

After sending Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi out of the door, Zhao Yuzhi took Zhao Tingyu back to Jingzhao Mansion and entered his own courtyard in Jingzhao Mansion.

After making sure that there were no other people around, Zhao Yuzhi asked, "Didn't I tell you and your two brothers to stay at home and hide from the spotlight recently? Why are you running out again?"

Zhao Tingyu said indifferently, "Isn't everything fine now? The Dali Temple's chief has come to express his gratitude, which means the case is closed. Why should I hide from the limelight? Besides, my son is also a filial son. If Master Mu hadn't said that only the medicine prepared with virgin blood can cure your disease, would I have dragged my brothers to do such a thing?"

Zhao Yuzhi thought about his illness, and how he had sought medical treatment and taken medicine for many years but there had been no improvement. He was still young and had held the position of the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, with a bright future ahead of him. He was unwilling to die like this.

Thinking of this, he lost his temper and said, "We need to treat Cao Dong and Chen Ruiqi's families well and release them after this matter is settled. What we did was really unkind, and we must not kill anyone again."

Zhao Tingyu said nonchalantly: "I know."

Seeing that he didn't seem to take his words to heart, Zhao Yuzhi knew that it was useless to say more, so he sighed, stood up and said, "Let's go, don't keep your mother waiting for too long."

As soon as Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi got on the carriage, they saw Wen Rulan drinking the delicious tea that Xiao Mubei had brewed.

As soon as Chu Yunxi got in the car, she couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, have you found any traces of Cao Dong and Chen Ruiqi's family?"

Wen Rulan shook her head. "No, I knocked out a jailer, changed into his clothes and went into the Jingzhao prison. There were no people you mentioned in there. I went through Jingzhao again and there was no trace of them. Those people should not be in Jingzhao."

Not here? Chu Yunxi was a little surprised. Logically speaking, Jingzhao Prefecture should be the safest place for the three heroes of Meilin. If they locked him up here, the possibility of being found would be minimized. Could it be that she was wrong?

Wen Rulan poured another cup of tea and said, "Is there a possibility that you think they are too smart? Maybe they just have the simplest idea and just find a house and lock people in it?"

It is very possible, but it would be difficult to find the person in this way.

Chu Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "Brother, please check Zhao Yuzhi's house again tonight. If there is nothing there, Your Majesty, you will have to keep an eye on the Three Heroes of Merlin."

"Okay." Wen Rulan agreed, drank the tea in her hand, then flew out of the carriage window and quickly disappeared into the night.

Chu Yunxi watched Wen Rulan’s figure quickly disappear, and couldn’t help but think enviously, they both traveled through time, so how come she became a martial arts master while she became a rookie?

But thinking about it, my luck seems to be pretty good. Except for not having martial arts, I still have the Liyue Bracelet, which doesn't have too much of an impact. Everything else is also pretty good. I have met the right person, and I have no shortage of power and money, so I feel relieved.

That night, Wen Rulan found nothing in Zhao Yuzhi's house. Xiao Mubei's men had been keeping an eye on the Three Heroes of Merlin for two days, but they didn't make any move.

Chu Yunxi was a little worried. She was afraid that Cao Dong and Chen Ruiqi’s families had been killed. Otherwise, why was there no movement at all? People always need to eat, right?

"Your Majesty, waiting like this is not a solution. How about we lure the snake out of its hole?"

"What do you want to do?" Xiao Mubei asked.

Chu Yunxi whispered a few words into Xiao Mubei's ear, and Xiao Mubei nodded, "Okay, let's do it."

The next day, a notice was posted in the Dali Temple that the murderer of the serial rape and murder case had been arrested and had confessed to the murders. The facts were clear and the evidence was irrefutable. Due to the extremely bad nature of the case, the execution would not be carried out until the autumn. The murderer would be sentenced to immediate execution and would be beheaded in public at noon tomorrow.

Zhao Mansion.

The men in pink, white and green clothes were all in the guest room. The man in pink, Zhao Tingyu, said, "I didn't expect the Dali Temple to sentence Cao Dong and Chen Ruiqi so quickly. It saved us a lot of trouble."

The man in white was named Dong He. He smiled and said, "It seems that the Dali Temple is just like that. As soon as these two people confessed, they immediately believed it and sentenced them to immediate execution. It seems that the pressure from above is too great, so the Dali Temple can't wait to close the case."

Yu Xi, the man in green, tapped his fingers on the table. "I always feel like something is not right. How can the Dali Temple not have any doubts at all?"

Zhao Tingyu smiled and said, "Second brother, are you being too cautious? We put all the evidence on those two people, and they dare not deny their guilt. Didn't the notice also say that the facts are clear and the evidence is irrefutable? This shows that our arrangements are flawless. Why would the Dali Temple question it?"

Dong He also patted Yu Xi on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, being cautious is a good thing, but being too cautious is not a good thing. This time I agree with what Third Brother said. It was because we made proper arrangements and Uncle Zhao also helped us that we were able to pass the test so smoothly."

Yu Xi was also shaken by what his two brothers said, so he said: "Well, anyway, as long as those two are beheaded, the case will be closed, and we don't have to worry so much anymore. Oh, right, what about those old, weak, women and children?"

Dong He said nonchalantly: "Kill him and bury him and that's it. Cut the grass and get rid of the roots. There will be no future troubles."

Zhao Tingyu thought of his father's instructions and hesitated, "Those people haven't seen our true faces, so why not let them go."

Dong He said dissatisfiedly, "Third brother, when did you become so soft-hearted? Although we were all wearing black clothes and masks when we went to see them, they are still a hidden danger. Moreover, if we let them go, what if they find out that Cao Dong and Chen Ruiqi were beheaded and run to the Dali Temple to appeal for justice? Isn't that a complication?"
