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

When the three men heard what Hei Mu said, they all looked at Xiao Mubei with their mouths opened. One man stammered, "Prince...Prince, what kind of prince are you?"

Everyone in Dasui knows that the only prince left in Dasui is the King of Dingbei. The Sixth Prince has ascended to the throne and become the Emperor of Suining. The princes below are still young and have not yet been crowned as kings. So, who else could this prince be?

The three of them could already feel their hearts beating fast and their bodies trembling. Xiao Mubei then stood up and slowly walked over. He had a sense of oppression from a superior. He asked in a deep voice, "Tell me again, who is your backer?"

The three of them knelt down involuntarily, and the man who broke his wrist said tremblingly: "You...you are the King of Dingbei?"

Chu Yunxi laughed and said, "Hey, isn't he your backer? Why don't you know him?"

The man's eyes rolled back and he fainted from fear and pain.

The other two men also trembled, and one of them said, "Please spare us, my lord. We will..."

Xiao Mubei glanced at the two men calmly, and asked in a flat voice, "What's going on with the four women in the carriage outside?"

The two men immediately kowtowed. Their hands were tied behind their backs, and it was extremely difficult for them to bend down. However, they did not feel sad at all. They kept kowtowing, saying, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life."

With them like this, it was self-evident what the situation of those women was. Xiao Mubei saw that there were too many people watching the fun upstairs, so he ordered Baiyu Heimu to bring the people to their room. He needed to interrogate them. Since he had encountered these three people and four abducted women, today's itinerary had to be changed. He had to deal with these people before he could move on.

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi went upstairs to interrogate the people, while Wen Rulan and Wan Ruwei were downstairs preparing to pay another day's silver and compensate for the damaged things. The shopkeeper knew that the person living in his shop was King Dingbei, so he refused to accept any more money and ordered the waiter to prepare wine and food to entertain them. Wen Rulan couldn't persuade the shopkeeper, so she could only tell him not to be too extravagant and that ordinary wine and food would be enough. They would leave after they finished dealing with things here.

Upstairs, entering the room, Chu Yunxi asked Hongyu to fix the broken wrist of the man. Although he was a bad guy, out of humanitarianism, Chu Yunxi did not have the habit of lynching before the law punished them.

After all this, the man woke up. Seeing his two companions kneeling on the ground with their heads down, he remembered his current situation and felt desperate. He cried bitterly, "Your Majesty, we were bewitched and shouldn't have used your name to deceive people. Please be magnanimous and spare our lives."

Xiao Mubei said: "Using my name to swindle is nothing, just explain clearly your business of buying and selling decent girls."

Several people looked at each other, and none of them were willing to speak first. Chu Yunxi shouted, "Bai Yu Hei Mu, interrogate the three of them separately. Whoever speaks first will be spared."

When she said this, the three people immediately rushed to shout, "Your Majesty, I'll tell you everything."

"Your Majesty, let me tell you, I know it best."

"Your Majesty, I'll tell you..."

Bai Yu Kuroki dragged two people to another room, and the one left behind was the man with a broken wrist. He seemed to be the leader of the three. Seeing the other two being dragged away, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his intact hand.

Chu Yunxi looked at him with a smile, "Go ahead, I'll compare your confessions later, and if there's any discrepancy, I'll immediately send you to the yamen for execution."

The man nodded repeatedly and said that he would never dare to deceive the prince, and then he said, "My name is Liu Tiezhu, and I am from Wushan Town. I was originally a thug in the household of Magistrate Zhu of Wushan Town. The other two, one is Datou and the other is Goudan, both are from Mr. Zhang's mansion. Oh, Mr. Zhang is Zhang Jichen, the richest man in Wushan Town. One day three years ago, Magistrate Zhu suddenly found me and asked me to go on a long journey and take a few women to Tianshui Town. He said, you can do whatever you want with these women, just don't kill them and hand them over alive. Each trip will cost fifty taels of silver, and my monthly salary is less than fifty taels, and there are women to play with. I agreed immediately. Magistrate Zhu said to me that if anyone makes trouble for us, just say that I The person behind them was the King of Dingbei, so those people didn't dare to cause trouble. So I went with Datou Goudan and escorted three women to Tianshui. We traveled more and stayed less in hotels. We slept in the carriage most of the time. The three women were fed some medicine on weekdays, and they slept all the way. They were very honest. In this way, we successfully sent people to Tianshui and earned fifty taels of silver. Later, we couldn't stop. We would go out every three or five days, sending three, four or five people, and the places we sent people to extended from Tianshui to various places in Dasui. This time, we wanted to send people to the nearby Luocheng. We were about to reach our destination, but unexpectedly... we met you, Your Majesty."

Liu Tiezhu had a sad face and almost cried. He was very worried thinking that his good days were over.

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi were furious. Chu Yunxi said, "Those drugs are extremely harmful to the body, but you don't care about the lives of those women. You just give them the drugs and ask them to be obedient. Have your consciences been eaten by dogs?"

Liu Tiezhu whispered, "But if we don't give them food, they will scream and shout on the road, causing trouble, and it will be troublesome for everyone, so we have no choice."

Xiao Mubei asked, "Were all those women taken away from Mr. Zhang's house?"

Liu Tiezhu nodded and said, "Yes, they were all brought out from Mr. Zhang."

Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Mubei, and Xiao Mubei said, "Before I set off, I specifically looked up the information. Wushan Town is just a small town with a population of only a few hundred thousand. They have been doing this business for three years. How could so many women be trafficked? Moreover, local women, like Yan Mingzhu, are the only daughter in the family. After she was trafficked, County Magistrate Zhu had to deal with Yan Mingzhu's parents to ensure that the news would not spread. So I suspect that the Zhang family is probably collecting suitable women from all over the place and then reselling them through County Magistrate Zhu. Their business has spread throughout Dasui. This Luocheng is only three days away from the capital. I am afraid that in time, the capital will not be spared."
