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

Chapter 36: The Reason for the Family Extermination

Yue Haoran obviously didn't expect Xiao Mubei to say such a thing, and couldn't help but look at Chu Yunxi again.

In order to help King Jingyuan kill Xiao Mubei, he had secretly paid attention to Xiao Mubei for a long time, and he never knew that there was such a person around Xiao Mubei.

Now that this person who suddenly appeared was so valued by King Dingbei, he intuitively felt that King Jingyuan might suffer a loss because of this woman.

"Okay, King Dingbei has always kept his promises. I believe you. As long as you can rescue my father and sister, I, Yue Haoran, will tell you everything you want to know."

"Heimu, do this immediately." King Dingbei ordered.

Kuroki responded and left.

Chu Yunxi saw that Yue Haoran was obviously relieved. She didn't expect that a killer like him would value family so much. Chu Yunxi's heart moved and she asked, "Is your extermination of the Gao family also related to your family?"

Yue Haoran suddenly looked up and widened his eyes. He didn't say anything this time, but his expression said it all.

Chu Yunxi pulled a chair and sat down, "Tell me about it."

Yue Haoran knew that he couldn't hide it, so he glanced at Xiao Mubei and said, "My Lord, the girl next to you is really amazing."

Xiao Mubei curled the corners of his lips. Do I need you to tell me that?

Seeing Xiao Mubei and You Rongyan's expressions, Chu Yunxi was also happy, but then she coughed lightly to suppress her smugness and said seriously, "Yue Haoran, from the bodies of the Gao family, I can see that you hate them very much and didn't give them a chance to live. They are not officials, so it is impossible for them to have a grudge against King Jingyuan, because they can't get close to King Jingyuan at all. Then the only one who may have a grudge against them is you, right?"

"Yes, the hatred between me and the Gao family is as deep as the sea. The revenge for the murder of my mother must be paid with the lives of their entire family." Yue Haoran's eyes flashed a fierce light, and it was obvious that this hatred was still deeply engraved in his heart.

Chu Yunxi couldn't help but sit up straight.

This incident dates back to fifteen years ago. That year, there was a famine in the southern border. The victims in the south were starving everywhere. Countless people left their homes and came to the capital in the hope of surviving, and Yue Haoran's family was one of them.

Yue Haoran's father was a farmer who could not read or write, but he was very good to his wife and children. At that time, Yue Haoran was ten years old, and his sister Yue Yanran was only three years old. On the way, many people were so hungry that they wanted to exchange their children for food, but their father-in-law sternly refused. The family supported each other and with strong perseverance, they ate tree bark and grass roots all the way and actually made their way to the capital.

But when they arrived near the capital, they had reached the end of their rope. The city gate was just around the corner, but they could no longer move. Yue Yanran was so hungry that she couldn't even cry.

When they were about to starve to death, a family passed by in a horse-drawn carriage. It was Gao family's head Gao Gaohe and his wife Yuanshi. Seeing that the family was pitiful, they rescued the Gao family, gave them food, and let Yue Haoran's parents work in the Gao family.

Hearing this, Chu Yunxi asked, "So, Gao Qinghe has done a favor to your family, aren't you repaying kindness with hatred?"

Yue Haoran snorted coldly, "Gao Qinghe, this hypocritical hypocrite, usually does good deeds to cover up his dirty heart. In fact, he took advantage of his drunkenness to rape my mother."

It turned out that one day, Gao Qinghe drank too much, and Yue Haoran's mother went to bring him some sobering soup, but Gao Qinghe took the opportunity to rape her. Afterwards, the mother-in-law told the father-in-law about it. The father-in-law was furious and wanted to find Gao Qinghe to fight him.

At that time, the mother-in-law held on to the father-in-law tightly, and said with tears in her eyes that they should consider it as repaying the favor of saving her life, and that the four of them should just leave the Gao family. The father-in-law endured it again and again, and finally he swallowed his anger. The family packed up their things and left the Gao family at night.

Who would have thought that even though they didn't intend to make it public, the Gao family was not going to let it go. The Gao family's housekeeper brought thugs to surround them outside the city, and said that it was Yue Haoran's mother who seduced their master, and wanted to send his mother-in-law to the authorities.

The two sides had a fierce conflict. During the dispute, the mother-in-law died by hitting a tree out of shame and anger. Yue Yanran was also accidentally thrown to the ground and hit her head, becoming mentally retarded ever since.

When the Gao family saw that someone had died, they all left quickly, leaving behind the heartbroken father-in-law, Yue Haoran, who was only ten years old and witnessed his mother being forced to commit suicide, and Yue Yanran, who was unconscious with blood all over her head.

From that day on, Yue Haoran vowed to make the Gao family pay the price.

After burying his mother, Yue Haoran's father took him and his sister back to their hometown. Yue Haoran learned martial arts by chance, and later joined King Jingyuan, and has come to where he is today step by step.

After Yue Haoran finished speaking, the room fell into silence. After a long while, Chu Yunxi finally said, "So, in order to avenge your mother, you wiped out the entire Gao family?"

"Yes, I surrendered to King Jingyuan in order to return to the capital and destroy the Gao family. I brought my father and sister here to show them that those who persecuted us in the past have now received retribution."

"But you also put them in danger," Chu Yunxi sighed, "I am not involved in your mother's affairs, so I can't say anything, but Sui has a law that those who kill must pay with their lives. Why don't you and your father seek help from the government? If everyone is like you, taking revenge privately, you kill me and I kill you, then wouldn't the country be in chaos?"

Yue Haoran turned his head and said sternly: "If I report this to the police, only Gao Qinghe can be punished, and at most his housekeeper, but I want his whole family to pay for my mother's life."

Chu Yunxi said nothing, turned around and looked at Xiao Mubei, "Your Majesty, I have finished asking questions."

Xiao Mubei asked Bai Yu to put Yue Haoran in prison and give him food, and he and Chu Yunxi walked out of the prison together.

"How is it, what did you find?" Xiao Mubei asked Chu Yunxi as soon as he arrived at the study.

Chu Yunxi pondered and said, "We can't just listen to Yue Haoran's one-sided story about the Gao family. We have to ask Chen Shining, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Rites, and his wife Gao to see if we can find out what happened back then. As for the rest, Yue Haoran hasn't planned to speak yet, so we can only wait for news from Hei Mu."

Xiao Mubei nodded, "Hei Mu should be able to handle it tomorrow at the latest. You've been tired for so long, go and catch up on some sleep."

Chu Yunxi saw that Xiao Mubei's eyes were also dark, so she said, "You should also take a good rest. Your body has not fully recovered yet. You can't be too tired recently. Otherwise, if you get sick again, I won't treat you."

Xiao Mubei smiled, "Yes, Doctor Chu."

Chu Yunxi turned around with satisfaction and prepared to go back to her room to sleep. When she reached the door, she turned around hesitantly, "I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't remember where it is."

"If you can't remember, go to sleep. When you wake up and your mind is clear, maybe you'll remember it."
