The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 423 Unexpected People
Chu Yunxi said to Xiao Mubei again: "Your Highness, it seems that we can't just enter the city like this. Although we don't need to disguise ourselves, we still have to pretend to be merchants. I thought we could enter Kala City openly this time, but I didn't expect something like this to happen."
The last time they entered Kara City, they disguised themselves as merchants. This time their carriage was so luxurious and high-profile that if they did not pretend to be merchants, they would easily be spotted.
Xiao Mubei immediately called Baiyu and Heimu and asked them to go to the town to purchase and load the goods. He also asked Zi Han to buy some Nandi clothes. Everyone changed into them. After all this time, a whole morning had passed.
When leaving the inn, everyone transformed into Nandi merchants and headed towards Kara City with their convoy.
Wu Lingqi was restless all the way. Xiao Mubei and Wen Rulan took turns to accompany him and comfort him. Knowing that these people were all extremely capable, Wu Lingqi felt a little more at ease. But after all, he still had something on his mind and it was difficult to completely relieve his worries.
We hurried all the way and finally saw the gate of Kara City in the evening of the next day.
The inspection at the city gate was indeed much stricter than usual. Xiao Mubei looked over from a distance and saw a man standing on the top of the city tower, staring closely at the people coming in and out of the city tower. Xiao Mubei felt that the man's figure seemed familiar, so he said to Wu Lingqi: "Can you see who is standing on the city tower over there?"
Wu Lingqi's eyesight was not as good as Xiao Mubei's, so the convoy moved forward a little further, and he suddenly exclaimed, "Brother?"
"What? That's Wu Jiaqi?" Xiao Mubei was startled and immediately stopped the convoy. Chu Yunxi leaned out of the front car and asked, "What happened?"
Xiao Mubei jumped out of the car and whispered to Chu Yunxi, "Wu Jiaqi is on the tower ahead. I'm afraid he is just waiting for us. He has seen us, so we must disguise ourselves."
Chu Yunxi was also surprised and lowered her voice, "Isn't Wu Jiaqi imprisoned by King Qi?"
"I don't know. It's too late to investigate now. We can't stay here for too long, otherwise Wu Jiaqi will definitely get suspicious." Xiao Mubei looked up again, "The two of us, Baiyu Heimu and Zi Han can just disguise ourselves. We have to be quick."
Chu Yunxi hurriedly took out a few human skin masks and gave them to him. Xiao Mubei quickly distributed them to the other people. The convoy started moving again, and the people in the cars had changed their appearances.
Sure enough, they were stopped as soon as they arrived at the gate of Kara City. The soldiers asked everyone to get off the car at the gate and let Wu Jiaqi, who was standing on the city wall, see them. Wu Jiaqi looked around and saw that there was no one he knew, so he waved his hand and the soldiers let them go.
Finally, they entered the city smoothly and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was definitely impossible to stay in the Prince Qi's Mansion now, so everyone came to the inn they stayed in last time and stayed there for the time being.
They asked the store to deliver dinner to the room, and several people sat together. Baiyu Heimu and the purple-clothed guards all stood guard outside, and everyone began to discuss the next plan.
Chu Yunxi spoke first, "Lingqi, how did your father deal with Wu Jiaqi before?"
Wu Lingqi said, "My eldest brother was locked up in the dungeon by my father. He issued an order to the entire palace that no one was allowed to release him. He was only provided with three meals a day, porridge and small dishes, and no one was allowed to visit him. He was still like this when I left, and I didn't notice anything unusual."
Xiao Mubei said: "Since Wu Jiaqi appeared on the tower today, it means that this matter must be related to him. He hates you and your son to the bone. I'm afraid that this time the King of Qi's rebellion must have been his hand."
Wu Lingqi slammed the table in anger, and the plates on the table shook. "Father is his biological father after all. Even if he hates us, he can't kill him. How is this different from patricide?"
"Some people's thoughts cannot be guessed by common sense. Just based on what he did to you in the past, it is not impossible that he killed his father." Chu Yunxi said in a cold tone, and it was obvious that she had no good feelings towards Wu Jiaqi.
"Then what should we do next?" Wen Rulan asked Wu Lingqi.
Wu Lingqi's mind was in a mess and he could hardly calm down. Chu Yunxi said, "Next, we need to find out where the people in Prince Qi's mansion are being held. It would be best if we could find a way to meet Prince Qi and find out what happened at that time. Only then can we make plans for the next step."
Wu Lingqi calmed down for a while before saying, "I can go find Lord Luo to find out about the situation. Lord Luo was once my father's student, and later became the Minister of Industry. He has always been good friends with my father, and he has watched me grow up since I was a child. He will definitely not stand idly by."
The person who can make Wu Lingqi think of and trust at this moment must be worthy of his trust. No one doubted it, so Xiao Mubei said: "Well, without further ado, let's go to Lord Luo's mansion while we still have time tonight."
They took action as soon as they said they would. Everyone had dinner and rested for a while. When it was completely dark, Xiao Mubei and Wen Rulan took Wu Lingqi out, while Chu Yunxi and Wan Ruwei stayed in the inn. They discussed that instead of doing nothing in the inn, they might as well go out for a walk and see if they could find out any information.
So they called Zi Han, and the three women asked the waiter where nearby was lively at night, and then went out.
The weather is hot during the day, and the night is a good time to stroll around and cool off. One street past the inn is the busiest street in Kara City. Because there is a river running through this street, there is a cool breeze at night. Many people will stroll here after dinner, or they don’t need to eat at all. There are many snacks and delicacies on the roadside. You can eat a little from each stall and you will be full quickly and satisfy your cravings. It is the first choice for many people.
Chu Yunxi and Wan Ruwei were strolling on the street. Zi Han was a step behind them, looking around vigilantly. Chu Yunxi and the others were also walking slowly. They seemed to be looking at the things being sold on both sides of the street, but they were always listening to the conversations of the people around them, trying to catch some information about the King of Qi's rebellion.
After listening for a while, the two looked at each other in disappointment. They didn't hear any useful information. Maybe because they were afraid of getting into trouble, everyone seemed to keep silent about the matter, and no one mentioned it on the street.
But if you think about it, it is understandable. After all, it is a matter of beheading. How dare you discuss it casually? If you are not careful, you may be arrested as an accomplice, and that would be a loss. So now everyone in Kara City is in danger and just focuses on doing their own business and strolling around their own streets.
