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

Zhao Tingyu thought Dong He's words made sense, so he stopped worrying and said, "Okay, let's do as you say."

Yu Xi also agreed, and the three of them reached an agreement. Zhao Tingyu said, "In order to avoid the wind these days, we haven't gone to see those people, and we don't know if there are any troubles."

Dong He said, "We are kind enough to leave them food, but they are not free. After Cao Dong and the other two are beheaded tomorrow, we will send them off and let their two families reunite in heaven. This will be considered as doing them justice."

The three people were plotting in the room, but they didn't know that their words were heard clearly by Wen Rulan who was hiding upstairs. Wen Rulan had outstanding lightness skills and first-class martial arts. These people were only better in lightness skills, and as for the others, they were far worse and naturally had no way of discovering Wen Rulan.

After leaving Zhao's house, Wen Rulan went directly to the Dali Temple to meet Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi, and told them the news she had heard.

Chu Yunxi slammed the table and said angrily, "They are indeed a bunch of dishonest villains."

Wen Rulan shook her head. "Do you still have illusions about them? They are capable of rape and murder. They have no moral bottom line. You can still expect them to keep their promises. It's a joke."

"I just feel sorry for Cao Dong and Chen Ruiqi. If we hadn't discovered that they were the scapegoats and really beheaded them, their families wouldn't be rescued and would die unjustly. The real bad guys would go unpunished, and there would be more innocent souls in the world."

Xiao Mubei added, "So we need to be very careful when investigating cases, not to wrongly accuse a good person, and never let a bad person go."

"Correct."

The next morning, the Dali Temple brought out the serial rape and murder murderer early in the morning, paraded him through the streets, and then took him to the West City Gate to be beheaded.

When they were paraded through the streets, both prisoners wore hoods so their faces could not be seen. The people were very excited, especially those families with daughters. They hated these flower thieves so much that they filled the prison van with rotten vegetable leaves and eggs.

The Three Heroes of Merlin were also hiding in the crowd. They were not dressed so ostentatiously today, wearing ordinary blue cloth shirts. They hid in the teahouse and looked down. Although they could not see the faces of the prisoners, they had all seen Cao Dong and Chen Ruiqi and were familiar with their figures. There was no doubt that they were them.

Zhao Tingyu saw so many people throwing eggs and vegetable leaves, and thought that if he was caught, he would have the same fate, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Dong He happened to see it and laughed, "Are you scared, Third Brother?"

Zhao Tingyu said stubbornly, "Who is scared? It's just that it's cold today, so I'm wearing thin clothes."

Yu Xi shook his head, said nothing, and continued looking downstairs.

In the room of the inn opposite, Chu Yunxi said to Xiao Mubei: "These three people must see Cao Dong and Chen Ruiqi beheaded with their own eyes before they can feel at ease. Are the death row prisoners ready?"

"Of course, besides the death row prisoners, there is also Qingyue. How can such a thing be without her disguise skills?"

"Qingyue is very familiar with disguising death row prisoners." Chu Yunxi said with a smile. She had asked Qingyue to do this several times before and it had always worked successfully. Qingyue's disguise skills are getting better and better now.

"Let them see with their own eyes that Cao Dong and Chen Ruiqi are beheaded, and then they can proceed to the next step." Xiao Mubei watched the prison van slowly passing by and heading towards the west city gate, so he went downstairs.

He is the Minister of Dali Temple and naturally also the executioner. At the same time, he sits in a high position and can have a panoramic view of the overall situation. The Three Heroes of Merlin have special people to monitor and track them, and everything has been arranged.

Sure enough, as soon as the prison van left, the Three Heroes of Merlin also moved. Chu Yunxi watched them go downstairs and head towards the west city gate, then she sat at the table to drink tea. After that, she only needed to stay here and wait for news.

The bustling crowd rushed to the West City Gate, and many people shouted to behead the murderer. It was obvious that this serial rape and murder case really aroused public anger. When the two murderers arrived at the West City Gate, they were brought onto the stage and the black scarves covering their heads were finally taken off.

The Three Merlins saw from afar in the crowd that the people kneeling on the stage with their heads down and not moving were none other than Cao Dong and Chen Ruiqi. However, both of them seemed to have lost hope and allowed themselves to be manipulated by the executioner without any extra expressions or movements.

"It seems that they have accepted their fate." Dong He lowered his voice and said in Yu Xi's ear.

“What can they do if they don’t accept their fate? They will die anyway. At least they will feel better if they die like this now. They will feel that their death is valuable and that they saved their family members’ lives.” Yu Xi’s voice was also very low.

Zhao Tingyu didn't say anything, but just stared at Cao Dong and Chen Ruiqi on the stage. He was scolded by his father many times because of this matter, but he was obviously taking the risk just to save his father. Now this matter is finally coming to an end. He even thought that he has almost learned the Qinggong from his master, so he should read more books and take the imperial examination in the future, so that he can save a lot of trouble when he inherits his father's official position in the future.

At this time, someone on the stage shouted, "Sir, it's already 15:30 noon. The criminal is Cao Dong. Chen Ruiqi has already verified his identity. Should we behead him?"

Xiao Mubei sat on the stage, looking at the place where the three heroes of Merlin were, and then took out a bamboo slip, threw it on the ground, and shouted: "Behead!"

The person who reported it turned around and shouted to the executioner: "Execute!"

The executioner took a sip of wine and sprayed it on the knife. He shouted loudly, swung his arm, and the knife fell down fiercely with the sound of wind.

There was a cry of surprise from the crowd, the timid ones closed their eyes, the woman covered her child's eyes, and the muffled sound of heads falling to the ground was heard. The three heroes of Merlin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"There's nothing unusual, let's go." Dong He pulled Zhao Tingyu and Yu Xi out of the crowd and walked eastward.

Xiao Mubei waved his hands on the stage, and people started moving in several directions, following the Three Heroes of Merlin from a distance.

After the three men left the execution ground, they used their lightness skills and walked faster and faster. Following behind them were the purple-robed guards led by Zi Han, who also used their lightness skills.

Soon, the three Merlins arrived at an alley. They were very cautious and looked around. When they found nothing unusual, they slipped into a yard.

The houses in this alley are all old houses, and many of them have been abandoned for a long time. When Zi Han and the others followed them into the yard, they found that the garden was full of weeds and no one knew how long it had been abandoned.

After the three heroes of Merlin entered the yard, they went into the room. Zi Han ordered the purple-clothed guards to go down quietly. She stayed on the roof, quietly lifted the tiles and looked down.

There was only a broken bed and a broken table in the room, and dust and cobwebs were everywhere. Zhao Tingyu sneezed after entering the room and complained, "This is a broken place. How did you find it, brother?"
