The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 417 Aftermath
Wen Rulan was not sure, after all, he had no idea what the era was like. But he suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "You just said that Chu Yunxi is no longer a forensic doctor, but a portrait artist, and will also hold art exhibitions?"
Chu Yunxi nodded, "Yes, I heard that from my parents."
Wen Rulan said: "Then let's ask around and see if Chu Yunxi was good at painting in the past, right?"
Chu Yunxi sat down dejectedly. "I have thought about this question, but the original people in the Marquis' Mansion are all dead. My elder brother and second brother have been leading troops in battles all year round, and have not seen their sister for many years. Naturally, they don't know. When they saw me as a coroner, they didn't express too much doubt, which means they don't know what the original Chu Yunxi was like."
"This is a difficult situation." Wen Rulan was at a loss. He also wanted to find out whether what Chu Yunxi said was true. If it was true, at least their family members would not be heartbroken because of their departure, and they could feel more at ease here.
"Although I have the memories of Chu Yunxi before, I was forced to accept them at that time, and I didn't know which ones were the key points. Now, a year has passed, and I have almost forgotten everything. Only some fragments of memories that were once useful remain. I only know that she learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but as for how well she learned it, I really have no impression." Chu Yunxi was a little annoyed.
Wen Rulan had no choice but to comfort Chu Yunxi, "Okay, don't think about it, let's just treat it as a soul swap. I think since God has given you a hint, there will definitely be a next step. Let's wait and see how the situation develops. But Yunxi, if it is really a soul swap, and there is still a chance to get it back, are you still willing to go back?"
Chu Yunxi was stunned. Yes, what was she thinking about? Did she want to go back? But if she went back, what would Xiao Mubei do? She looked at Xiao Mubei sitting on the execution platform below, and the photo she saw in her dream emerged in her mind. In modern times, is there also a Xiao Mubei who has come together with that Chu Yunxi?
The noisy sound downstairs brought Chu Yunxi back to her senses. She looked downstairs and saw that the prison van had already arrived next to the execution platform. The bailiffs were pulling several people out of the van. Young Master Zhang could no longer stand up and was dragged onto the execution platform by two bailiffs. The others could still walk down by themselves, but they were all staggering and looked lifeless.
"The sword rose and fell, and the living and the dead were separated. I wonder if they will regret what they did at this moment, and if they live again, will they choose to be good people?"
Wen Rulan curled her lips, "Everyone has different ideas and choices. Only you can decide your own life. We don't need to figure out other people's thoughts, and we can't save everyone. Just be yourself and have a clear conscience."
Chu Yunxi nodded. Yes, just be yourself and have a clear conscience, and leave the rest to God.
After beheading the main culprits and exiling those who should be exiled, Xiao Mubei sent an express document of eight hundred miles to Li Jinghong, and brought the list back with him, asking him to send people to rescue the women one by one according to the addresses on the list. At the same time, he also sent people to send Qingyao and the other four back home. The matter in Wushan Town finally came to an end.
Yan Mingzhu and Qingyao had testified in court during the trial of Zhu Cheng and others, making great contributions to the conviction of Zhu Cheng and others, and they were also very courageous. Chu Yunxi gave them 100 taels of silver each. After receiving it, the other women followed the people who escorted them and left. Only Yan Mingzhu returned the silver to her, knelt down and said, "Princess, I don't want the silver. I have no home and nowhere to go. I want to ask you to let me follow you and be your maid from now on. You and the prince are my great benefactors. Mingzhu will work like a cow or a horse in this life to repay your kindness."
When Yan Mingzhu first met them, she always called them slaves. It took Chu Yunxi several days to correct her. Now she has to be a maid again. Chu Yunxi wanted to sigh. She pulled her up and said, "Mingzhu, your life has just begun. You shouldn't always be a maid. You can find a job to make a living, live your own life, and marry someone who treats you well. Only then can you live a happy and long life. Do you understand?"
Yan Mingzhu shook her head and said with tears in her eyes, "Princess, I can no longer stay in Wushan Town. Everyone knows that I was once sold to Zhang's house and then sold out. Do you think I can still find someone who treats me well here? Besides, after what happened, Mingzhu just wants to repay the prince and princess. I don't want to get married in this life. If the princess doesn't want me, then I can only find a nunnery, worship the Buddha and live out my life with green lamps."
Chu Yunxi looked at her lonely appearance and felt very embarrassed. She had no right to persuade her to let go of everything. Besides, she knew in her heart that in this era, it would not be easy for a weak woman like her with such a past to find a good family. However, if she took her in as a maid, she did not need so many maids.
Chu Yunxi looked at Wen Rulan, and she had an idea in her mind. She curled her lips slightly and said, "Mingzhu, there is a question I have always wanted to ask you. When you went to the capital to look for the prince, why didn't you go to the Dali Temple or the Dingbei Palace, but went to Ruyun Tower to ask to see the prince?"
Yan Mingzhu was a little embarrassed when she mentioned what happened back then. She said, "I was dirty and messy at that time, like a little beggar. How could the guards let me in when I went to the Dali Temple or the palace to ask to see the prince? They would have thrown me out. So I inquired for several days and found out that Ruyun Tower had a close relationship with the prince. Ruyun Tower was open to guests and people came and went. I thought that even if the owner threw me out once or twice, as long as I kept going there, someone would always pass the news to the prince's ears, so I..."
She stole a glance at Wen Rulan, then knelt down in front of her and said, "Mingzhu was wrong, please forgive me."
Wen Rulan was about to say that this was nothing, but Chu Yunxi interrupted, "Since you made a mistake, you must accept the punishment. I will punish you to work in Ruyun Building from now on. But Brother, you have to pay her. When you feel that your anger has subsided, you can let her go."
So this is what Chu Yunxi was planning. Wen Rulan held her forehead with her hand. She would throw the problems she couldn't solve to him. However, his Ruyun Building was indeed always short of manpower, so it was not a problem to support one more person. So he coughed lightly and said, "Then I want to see her performance. If she doesn't perform well, she will have to stay for a few more years."
