The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Chapter 497 Scum

Three days later, evidence of Huo Zixu's evil deeds began to be transmitted back one after another and delivered to Chu Yunxi.

Chu Yunxi sat beside Xiao Mubei's bed and looked at the collected evidence. The more she looked, the angrier she became. She suddenly slammed the testimony in her hand on the edge of the bed and said angrily, "This Huo Zixu is such a piece of shit."

This time, Xiao Mubei finally lay down in bed and recovered from his injuries. The main reason was that once he got up, the Qi in his body would run wild, forcing him to lie down again. He even smiled bitterly and teased Chu Yunxi, "I can't disobey you this time. I can't even stand up."

Chu Yunxi said casually, "I told you not to be disobedient." Having said that, Chu Yunxi still went to see Doctor Lu and Wen Rulan seriously to ask about internal injuries. She also learned a lot of knowledge in this regard. She knew that what Xiao Mubei needed most at the moment was cultivation and breathing regulation. After a while, when the true qi was re-integrated into Dantian and circulated smoothly, his internal injuries would be healed.

So Xiao Mubei has been lying down during this period, and Chu Yunxi brought back all the work that she could do in the palace, such as reading intelligence.

At this moment, she was furious and angry. Xiao Mubei naturally knew why. He knew that Huo Zixu would not do anything good, so he advised: "Don't be angry for this kind of scum. Be careful that the child will notice your anger and become a stingy person in the future."

Chu Yunxi was shocked and quickly reflected on herself, stroking her belly and talking to herself, "Xiao Sui, it's mother's fault. Mother won't lose her temper, so Xiao Sui can't lose her temper casually in the future, okay?"

Xiao Mubei found it funny and touched Chu Yunxi's belly. Suddenly, he felt her belly move. He immediately asked in surprise: "Yunxi, he just moved. Did he hear you talking?"

Chu Yunxi also felt the fetal movement and was very excited, but she was a doctor after all, and knew that this was normal fetal movement, so she said, "Your Highness, this is called fetal movement, it doesn't mean the baby heard me talking, he will move more and more frequently in the future."

"Really?" Xiao Mubei kept his hand on Chu Yunxi's belly, but he could no longer feel the fetal movement, so he said with some disappointment: "I thought his consciousness had emerged. Yunxi, has your soul traveled frequently recently?"

Chu Yunxi shook her head. "Not so often. I talked to Xiao Sui twice when I was in Hongye County, but I was too tired, so I didn't catch up with him. Recently, I haven't talked to him at all. I wonder if Xiao Sui has understood where he belongs and stopped making trouble?"

Xiao Mubei was not sure either, so he could only observe for a while. So he asked, "What did you see just now? Why are you so angry?"

Chu Yunxi thought of what she had just seen about Huo Zixu, and couldn't help getting angry. "This Huo Zixu is such a jerk. When he was the governor of Hongye County, he levied heavy taxes and oppressed the people. The people all lived a miserable life. The most hateful thing is that as long as someone expressed dissatisfaction with his behavior, he would disappear without a trace in a few days. No one could see him alive or dead. After a few times, no one dared to say anything. Everyone dared to be angry but not speak. The news about Huo Zixu having a mysterious master around him was spread at that time."

"It seems that he used Mu Chen to do a lot of shameful things."

Chu Yunxi thought for a while and said, "If it was really Muchen who did it, it would be easier to get a confession. I can just ask Muchen. After arriving in Yinghe Town, he became even more outrageous. Although he no longer has the status of county governor, he had already amassed enough wealth in Hongye County. He completely enjoyed himself in Yinghe Town. He took in several beautiful concubines and hugged them every night. When he saw a beautiful woman, he would rape her. He would silence those who could be silenced with silver, and would silence those who could not be solved with silver. He is really lawless."

Xiao Mubei frowned, "This guy is too bold, even more outrageous than a prince like me. Whose influence is he relying on? Is it just because he has two masters, Crazy Taoist and Muchen, around him?"

After hearing what Xiao Mubei said, Chu Yunxi also felt that something was wrong. These days, when Huo Zixu was escorted back to Beijing, except for the first day when he was very angry, he was quite calm in the following days. He was not panicked at all and could even be said to be very cooperative. This was a bit unreasonable.

"I'll go and interrogate him." Chu Yunxi stood up and walked out. After walking two steps, she came back and put anti-inflammatory water on Xiao Mubei, and told him, "Rest well and don't move around, okay?"

She would give him this instruction every day before going out, with a hint of warning, and she never tired of it. Xiao Mubei knew that she was doing it for his own good, so he could only smile bitterly and said, "Yes, Princess!"

Chu Yunxi then left with peace of mind and called Zi Han to go to the Dali Temple with her in a carriage.

Chu Yunxi called Li Jinghong and interrogated Huo Zixu for the first time after returning to Beijing.

Huo Zixu still looked relaxed when he entered the interrogation room. When he saw Chu Yunxi, he smiled mockingly and said, "Why, is King Dingbei dead? Why did you let a pregnant woman like you come to interrogate me?"

Chu Yunxi was not moved at all when she heard his rude words. She just said coldly: "You are not dead yet, how can my prince die? It is enough for me to interrogate you. Why does the prince need to come out?"

Huo Zixu stared at Chu Yunxi with a pair of sly eyes and clicked his tongue twice, "Don't say that. Being a princess is better looking than ordinary women. Because you are beautiful, I will cooperate with you. What do you want to know? Ask."

When Li Jinghong heard him treat Chu Yunxi like this, he was immediately furious. He slammed the table and wanted to punish him, but was stopped by Chu Yunxi. He heard Chu Yunxi say with a smile: "Li Shaoqing, he praised me for being beautiful, I should thank him, don't you think so?"

Seeing that Chu Yunxi didn't mind, Li Jinghong sat down angrily again, pointed at Huo Zixu and said, "You'd better behave yourself, or I'll make you live a life worse than death."

Huo Zixu shrank his shoulders and said in a pretentious manner: "Oh, I'm really scared." Then he started to chuckle.

Chu Yunxi knew that he was deliberately provoking her, so she patted Li Jinghong on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down, and then asked, "Huo Zixu, tell me what bad things you have done, one by one, and don't hide anything."

Huo Zixu raised his eyebrows, "Bad things? There are so many of them that I can't even finish telling them in a year. Are you sure you want to listen?"

Chu Yunxi frowned and said, "Just pick out the important ones, such as murder, arson, and taking human life lightly."

"Killing people? That's a lot. Let me think, does it count as hiring someone to spread the plague this time?"
