The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 468 Suspicion
The murderer did not touch anything else. He came in and went straight to Master Tan. Chu Yunxi came to the bookshelf next to him and saw that there were some saints' books on it. There was nothing unusual.
After checking for a while, Wen Rulan landed in the yard with a person on his shoulders. He threw the person to the ground as soon as he landed. Chu Yunxi walked to the door and asked, "Is he dead too?"
Wen Rulan nodded, "He saw that he couldn't escape, so he committed suicide."
Chu Yunxi was silent for a while. After a while, two more people died. The person behind the scenes was really crazy.
Chu Yunxi said to Zi Han, "Go back to the Dali Temple and notify Li Shaoqing to come over."
Now that Wen Rulan was here, Zi Han left with peace of mind. Wen Rulan stood at the door. He didn't wear shoe covers, so he didn't go in. He leaned against the door frame and looked into the room, asking, "Have you found any clues?"
Chu Yunxi shook her head. "This Master Tan should be the one who contacted the person behind the scenes. However, he is very cautious. There is not a single letter in this room. It seems that he either burned the letter after reading it, or he met with him directly."
"Where is he?" Xiao Mubei pointed at Guo Qirui who had fainted from fright at his feet.
Chu Yunxi looked at the person on the ground. She had just checked his pulse and found that he was really frightened and fainted. He was not pretending. He was so brave. I'm afraid what he just said was true. If that was the case, he was just a pawn being used.
"He's probably a fool." Chu Yunxi concluded.
Wen Rulan didn't ask any more questions. He could see that Chu Yunxi was very troubled at the moment.
After Li Jinghong came to take over Hongmeng Academy, Chu Yunxi went back to Dali Temple and asked Wen Rulan to return to Ruyun Tower first.
After Chu Yunxi came back, she went to see Hei Mu first. He was still asleep. The effect of the anesthetic had worn off and he slept very uneasily. Doctor Lu made him some sedatives, hoping that he would have more rest, which would be good for the recovery of his wound and relieve some of his pain. Now he just had to take anti-inflammatory medicine every day and wait for his wound to heal.
Xiao Mubei was still reading the files in the study. Chu Yunxi came to see him after reading Hei Mu. When he saw Chu Yunxi coming back, a smile immediately appeared in his eyes. However, seeing that Chu Yunxi looked bitter and resentful, he smiled and said, "Why, is the princess frustrated too?"
Chu Yunxi pouted and said unhappily, "Why does the prince seem to be gloating over other people's misfortunes?"
Xiao Mubei shrugged and said deliberately: "I just feel more balanced in my heart."
When he went out yesterday, the murderer was silenced, he was injured, and he almost lost Hei Mu's life. He was really angry. He didn't expect that Chu Yunxi went out today, and just after finding out the accomplice, he was silenced again. Although the murderer was caught, he was dead. To be honest, he returned empty-handed.
Of course Chu Yunxi knew that Xiao Mubei said this on purpose so that she wouldn't care about today's defeat, but it was indeed very frustrating. As soon as she got a clue, the other party snatched it away and cut off the clue. It was really a bad feeling to have to race against time with the opponent.
However, Chu Yunxi was a person who faced challenges head-on. The more the murderer provoked her, the more motivated she became. So she raised her chin, sat down opposite Xiao Mubei, and said, "But I didn't gain nothing."
"Oh? Tell me what you got." Xiao Mubei became interested and handed the tea beside him to Chu Yunxi. Chu Yunxi took it and drank it in one gulp.
"According to Guo Qirui, when Master Tan tricked him into visiting those talented scholars, he said that his master was going to hold a gathering. We all know that He Yuanjun's father is currently preparing for a gathering. Do you think there is such a coincidence? I think this matter is probably related to He Yuanjun's father."
"He Yuanjun's father? The famous scholar He Jinghong?" Xiao Mubei naturally recognized He Yuanjun's father.
Chu Yunxi said, "Yes, but I just have some doubts, because today I went to the He family and found that all of their soldiers are highly skilled in martial arts. The He family is heavily guarded, and even my senior brother couldn't sneak in. How could he, a scholar, have so many soldiers at home? This doesn't make sense."
"How could such a thing happen?" Xiao Mubei also found it unusual. Normally speaking, it was normal for noble ministers in the court to keep some soldiers with relatively good martial arts skills at home. However, those ordinary wealthy families would at most keep some thugs at home to prevent petty thefts. But if they kept some martial arts masters at home, that would be a bit unreasonable.
Chu Yunxi nodded. "So combining these two things makes me somewhat suspicious of He Jinghong. Your Majesty, how much do you know about him?"
Xiao Mubei thought for a moment, "I don't really know much about him. I just heard that he is quite famous among the literati, but I have been in the army for many years and have never dealt with him, so I don't know the details."
"Let's find someone to check him out." Chu Yunxi always trusted her intuition.
"Okay, Bai Yu." Xiao Mubei shouted, and Bai Yu immediately appeared at the door. Xiao Mubei asked him to check He Jinghong, and Bai Yu turned around and left without hesitation.
As soon as he left, Zi Han called out from outside, "Princess?"
Chu Yunxi asked: "What's the matter?"
"Marquis Zhongyong is here to visit." Zi Han said outside.
Chu Yunxi was stunned, "Second brother? Let him in quickly." It just so happened that she had something to ask her second brother, but she hadn't had time to do it yet. Unexpectedly, her second brother came by himself.
Chu Zhongxi came in quickly, bowed to Xiao Mubei first, and said, "I heard that the prince was injured. How serious is the injury?"
Xiao Mubei smiled and said, "With Yunxi here, how could anything happen to me? Thank you for your concern, second brother."
Chu Zhongxi breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that the prince is fine. My elder brother and sister-in-law and I were shocked when we heard about it. They also asked me to send my regards to the prince. Now my sister-in-law is preparing to stew some tonic for the prince. When it's done, they should come over."
Xiao Mubei laughed, "It's just a superficial wound. Tell sister-in-law not to worry too much. Dali Temple has everything."
Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "If you don't eat it, I will. I love what my sister-in-law cooks the most."
Xiao Mubei smiled dotingly, and Chu Zhongxi was helpless, "You are such a foodie. By the way, didn't I tell you to rest at home? Why are you still running around? The servants of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion saw you when they went shopping today. Can you take care of your body? Don't forget that you are pregnant."
Chu Yunxi stuck out her tongue and whispered to Xiao Mubei, "I knew that my second brother would definitely scold me when he comes."
"Don't complain to the prince. Prince, you don't care about her. How can you let her run around? Women must rest well during pregnancy. What if someone bumps into her and makes her miscarry? What should we do then?"
Xiao Mubei smiled apologetically, "Second brother taught me that I was wrong. I will pay attention next time."
