Everyone in the carriage was startled. Chu Yunxi was the first to lift the curtain and look out, only to see corpses lying all over the ground on the mountain road ahead. This mountain road was usually crowded with people, but most of them were going down the mountain at this time. Someone had just gone down the mountain before them, but no one came back to say that they had seen the bodies. Could it be that they had just died?

Several people thought of this. Xiao Mubei grabbed Chu Yunxi who wanted to jump out of the car, and winked at Bai Yu and Hei Mu. The two immediately understood and used their lightness skills to investigate nearby. After a while, they came back and reported that they didn't see anyone.

Chu Yunxi then jumped off the carriage, followed closely by Xiao Mubei. He arranged for Baiyu Heimu to stop the people going down the mountain from behind, and asked Wen Rulan and Wan Ruwei to stop the people going up the mountain from the front. Then he came to Chu Yunxi who was squatting next to the corpse and asked, "How long have these people been dead?"

Chu Yunxi replied, "He died just a stick of incense away, so he should have died just before we arrived. Your Majesty, look who this is."

She turned over the corpse lying on the ground in front of her, and Xiao Mubei's eyes widened immediately. This turned out to be the second of the Four Young Masters of Qingcheng?

He immediately looked around at the other corpses, and saw that the other three of the Four Young Masters of Qingcheng were also lying on the ground, and the others were the followers who had followed them before.

"It's them. Didn't they leave a little earlier than us?"

"Yes, so just before we rushed over, there was a massacre here. These people were no match for the other party and were almost all defeated in just a few moves. The difference in strength between the two sides was huge."

Xiao Mubei saw that almost all of these people were killed by a single sword. Some were pierced through the chest by a long sword, and some had their throats cut. It seemed that the murderer quickly resolved the battle and left.

Chu Yunxi carefully looked at everyone's wounds and said, "It's the same long sword."

Xiao Mubei frowned and said: "Could it be..."

Chu Yunxi saw that he was hesitant to speak, and understood what he wanted to say, "You mean, that little Taoist nun?"

Xiao Mubei nodded, and Chu Yunxi thought for a moment, "But I clearly saw her going to the back of Bodhi Temple, not going down the mountain?"

"Maybe she took another route? She has extraordinary internal strength, and her Qinggong must be good too. It's not impossible for her to take a detour and wait here ahead of these people."

This possibility could not be ruled out, and Chu Yunxi had no way to refute it. Moreover, these people just wanted to demolish the Bodhi Temple, and the little nun had every motive to kill them.

Chu Yunxi said: "This matter is not our responsibility, so let's send someone to report to His Majesty and ask him to send someone to deal with it."

After all, this is Nandi, not Dasui. Although they can solve the case, they cannot interfere in other people's territory. So Xiao Mubei summoned Heimu and asked him to take his token back to the palace to report the situation here to the young emperor Wu Zixu and ask him to send someone to deal with it quickly.

Xiao Mubei went back to Bodhi Temple in person and told the people in charge about the situation. He asked them to arrange for those who did not have time to go down the mountain to stay in the temple for the time being and not to go down the mountain tonight. He also asked them to send people to guard the roads going up and down the mountain to make it easier for the government to send people to investigate.

After everything was arranged, Xiao Mubei and others returned to Bodhi Temple and stayed there under the arrangement of the Taoist priest in charge, waiting for Wu Zixu to send someone.

The person arrived faster than expected, and it was also unexpected, because the person who came was actually Wu Lingqi.

When Xiao Mubei opened the door and saw Wu Lingqi, he was a little surprised. He was the prince of Qi. As far as Xiao Mubei knew, Wu Lingqi did not have any real job, let alone a position in charge of criminal cases. Why did the little emperor send him?

Chu Yunxi was in the room and saw Wu Lingqi later than Xiao Mubei. She was also confused and asked, "Why are you here?"

Wu Lingqi sat down, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp, then poured himself another cup and drank it all in one gulp, then he said as if he had come back to life, "You've driven me all the way here in such a hurry. His Majesty asked me to bring you two a letter."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms. Xiao Mubei took it in confusion and read it with Chu Yunxi. Only then did they realize that the Dali Temple Minister and the Ministry of Justice Minister of Nan Di were all on the same side of Prince Sheng, so they were all found to have conspired with Prince Sheng in this rebellion and have been arrested. There are currently no officials in Kara City who are good at criminal cases, because the four young masters of Qingcheng have some roots in Kara City. Although their character is problematic, their families are intertwined and cannot be underestimated in Kara City. If something happens to them and the case cannot be solved as soon as possible, Kara City will inevitably be in trouble. Wu Zixu knows that Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi are both masters of solving cases in Dasui, so he begs them to help once, as Nan Di owes Dasui, and they will definitely repay him in the future. At the same time, he lets Wu Lingqi follow them. If there is anything inconvenient, he has the emperor's token in his hand, which makes it convenient to act.

Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi were not from Nandi, so the young emperor naturally had no right to order them around. That was why he wrote a personal letter, begging for help. He was so humble, so Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi naturally had no reason not to help. Moreover, even if it wasn't for the young emperor's sake, they had to help for the sake of Empress Dowager Rong's sake.

The most important thing is, the temple master just said that if Chu Yunxi solves more cases, she will gain merit, which will help her soul travel through time. So it seems that this may be God's will.

Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts. Chu Yunxi closed the letter and sighed, "If I had known earlier, I would have just performed an autopsy to look for clues. Now it's dark and I have to go back to the crime scene."

Wu Lingqi laughed and said, "Sister Princess, although time is tight, I still found time to go to Derong Palace and brought you a lot of delicious cakes. Eat some first, so you won't be hungry at night."

Chu Yunxi tapped his forehead and said, "You are really good at pleasing others. Let's go."

Wu Lingqi was rubbing his hands together and looked extremely excited. You know, he had long heard about the rumors that Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei had solved many strange cases in Dasui. Now that he could investigate cases with them, how could he not be excited?

As expected, Wu Lingqi brought a lot of cakes and pastries. Chu Yunxi ate several pieces on the way down the mountain. Sweet food can make people happy. By the time she arrived at the crime scene, her little complaints had long disappeared.
