Chu Yunxi stood up and said to Zi Han, "Let's go to Mr. Tan's residence and take a look."

Hongmeng Academy is not big, with only three masters in total. The other two have families, so they do not live in the academy. Therefore, at night, Master Tan is the only one left here, which makes it convenient for him to do some things that are not known to outsiders.

Master Tan’s bedroom is located in the southeast corner of Hongmeng Academy. The interior is simply furnished with a bed, a desk, a bookshelf, a table, a chair, and a wardrobe, that’s all.

Because he also had a special place for marking articles, which was the room where he was killed. It was a common office for several teachers, so this bedroom was filled with his own books. Chu Yunxi went in and took a look around, then walked to the bookshelf.

The bookshelf on the fourth floor was filled with books. Chu Yunxi picked one up at random and looked through it. It was covered with densely written comments. She didn't expect that Master Tan was actually so talented and knowledgeable. Many of the viewpoints in the comments made Chu Yunxi nod her head. It was a pity that such a knowledgeable person, but because of a wrong step, he died. It was really a waste of his talent.

Chu Yunxi sighed in her heart, put the book in her hand back, and took out another one casually. As soon as she opened the title page, she saw a few lines of words written on it, "Encourage yourself in time, time waits for no one", and the signature at the bottom, "To Tan Hua, teacher, He Jinghong."

The few lines of words that suddenly came into view made Chu Yunxi stunned for a moment. It was not until she read them over and over again that she finally confirmed one thing. She suddenly became excited, "Zi Han, I found it, I finally found it."

Zi Han didn't know what she found, but seeing her excited expression, she guessed that she must have found evidence, so she was naturally very happy and said, "Congratulations, Princess."

"Let's go back to the Dali Temple." Chu Yunxi picked up the book and walked out hurriedly, Zi Han followed her. Chu Yunxi was extremely anxious at the moment and just wanted to go back to the Dali Temple immediately, but she and Zi Han had just staggered here and did not bring a carriage. If they wanted to go back quickly, they could only run. Zi Han knew Qinggong and could take her, but it was broad daylight now, and she couldn't use Qinggong to run on the roof, as that would be too conspicuous.

There was no other way, Chu Yunxi could only quicken her pace, and soon she was out of breath. She couldn't help but regret that she didn't exercise well. She had originally said that she would get up early to let Bai Yu teach her kung fu, but later she was too busy and nothing happened. Now she regretted it when the time came.

As she was walking, she was thinking that after giving birth to the little one in her belly, she must exercise well and learn Qinggong, so that she could come and go without a trace. Suddenly, a luxurious carriage appeared in front of her. Chu Yunxi looked closely and was overjoyed. Isn't this her carriage? The driver was Bai Yu.

Who is so considerate? That's right, it's her husband, Xiao Mubei.

Sitting in the carriage, Chu Yunxi sighed comfortably. Xiao Mubei beside her immediately bent down and rubbed her legs considerately. Chu Yunxi squinted her eyes and enjoyed it for two seconds, then asked, "Why is the prince here? How are your legs?"

Xiao Mubei said, "It's okay. I can still walk with crutches. His Majesty sent a message that he found traces of spies."

"Really?" Chu Yunxi sat up straight immediately, "Where is it?"

"In a large house in the east of the city. We haven't alerted the enemy yet. We have just sent people to keep a close watch. His Majesty has sent the Royal Guards to take it down in one fell swoop. It is said that there are many archers in there. They must be them."

"Great, I have confirmed that Mr. Tan's master is He Jinghong. This whole thing must be He Jinghong's mastermind. He is so cunning that he let his son organize the gathering but didn't let his son participate in the scouting. Instead, he let Mr. Tan instruct Guo Qirui to do it. He went through such a big detour to distance himself from the matter. Unfortunately, the law is long and nothing can escape it, and he was eventually exposed."

Xiao Mubei was also very excited and said, "It seems that we can finally close the net this time. As long as we catch all the spies who stayed in the capital and He Jinghong, then this student murder case will be solved."

"That's right." Chu Yunxi leaned back and relaxed her whole body. "Finally, hard work pays off."

The carriage stopped, and Bai Yu said, "Your Majesty, we are near the house, and the guards are ready. When are we going to start?"

Xiao Mubei was sitting in the carriage and couldn't get off. He asked, "Where is the person who is watching?"

Bai Yu waved his hand, and a guard came running over. Xiao Mubei asked, "How many people are there in there? Have you found out?"

The guard said, "Your Highness, we have investigated and found that there are about 70 to 80 people inside, all of whom are well-trained archers. The leader is a young man in his twenties. He rarely goes out on weekdays and wears a mask when he goes out. No one has seen what he looks like."

"How many guards are here?"

"Your Highness, there are a thousand people here. To avoid alerting the enemy, they are hiding two streets away."

"Okay, is everyone in the house now?"

"They're all here."

"Very good, notify the Royal Guards to take action. All nearby civilians should be evacuated, and the battle should be decisive. Once captured, all of them should be taken to the Dali Temple jail. I will interrogate them personally." Xiao Mubei's leg was injured, and it was inconvenient for him to get off the carriage, so the carriage became a temporary command post. He gave the orders in the carriage, and Bai Yu was responsible for passing on the orders. The Royal Guards quickly surrounded the entire house.

People passing by were immediately cleared out of the encirclement. There were voices coming from the house at first, but after the guards arrived, it suddenly became silent, and it was obvious that they had discovered something was wrong.

The guards did not give them time to react. After forming an encirclement, someone immediately jumped onto the top of the wall. The sound of crossbows firing could be heard. However, this time the guards were well prepared and they all had shields. The crossbows hit the shields and immediately fell down. There was no way to hurt anyone. In a blink of an eye, many guards had jumped in and engaged in close combat with the people inside. The door was also opened from the inside by the people who went in.

The guards outside poured into the small courtyard like a tide. The sounds of fighting and weapons clashing were endless, and screams were one after another. Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Mubei, only to see him staring outside the carriage with an expressionless face, obviously concentrating on listening to the sounds in the house.

Gradually, the sound of fighting died down. After a while, it finally stopped. The guard who had come to report earlier came back and said, "Your Highness, we have captured all the people inside, a total of 69 people were captured alive, and the nine who fought desperately were killed on the spot. Eleven of our people were seriously injured, 18 were slightly injured, and no one was killed."

Xiao Mubei said: "Send the injured to the doctor, and the rest of you take the prisoners to the prison and wait for their fate."
