The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 60 Confession
When he saw Chu Yunxi coming in, his eyes immediately became poisonous. "You bitch, I didn't expect you to be so vicious and actually use a hidden weapon on me."
Xiao Mubei's eyes turned cold, and before Chu Yunxi could react, she saw a flash of silver light, and the man immediately cried out in pain.
After Xiao Mubei finished whipping him, he quickly wrapped the whip back around his waist and said coldly, "Watch your mouth."
Handsome!
Chu Yunxi exclaimed in her heart, thinking that the prince who knew how to protect his own people was truly handsome.
"At this critical moment of life and death, do I have to wait for you to kill me to not be vicious?" Chu Yunxi snorted coldly, "How funny, a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat. If you are not as skilled as others, you should have the courage to admit it. The reality now is," she leaned down and got closer to the man's ear, "you are now my prisoner."
The man was so angry that he was fuming, but his hands and feet were locked, his internal energy was sealed, and he was completely exhausted. He had no way to do anything to Chu Yunxi.
Chu Yunxi stood up straight, chuckled, and said casually, "I think you are the worst in martial arts and the dumbest in Nankun Martial Arts School."
"You're talking nonsense. Apart from my master and my senior brother, who else in the martial arts school can be better than me..." He suddenly opened his eyes wide, "How...how do you know..."
It was indeed the Nankun Martial Arts School. Chu Yunxi said calmly, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. The court has been eyeing you for a long time. Do you still think you are hiding well? You are very lucky now, do you know that?"
"What's lucky?"
"Luckily, you are the first person to be arrested besides Yue Haoran, so you still have a chance to redeem yourself by making meritorious deeds. Nankun Martial Arts School is doomed. If you wait until they all arrive, I'm afraid that whatever you want to say will no longer have any value or meaning to us."
Chu Yunxi finished speaking slowly and looked at Xiao Mubei. Xiao Mubei immediately understood and shouted, "Heimu."
Hei Mu stepped forward immediately, and Xiao Mubei ordered: "Notify Zi Han to take action, and you take the people from Dali Temple to support them. Make sure to capture all the people from Nankun Martial Arts School in one fell swoop, and don't let any of them escape."
"Leader!"
Hei Mu left immediately, but Chu Yunxi's eyes never left the man's face. After hearing Xiao Mubei's instructions, his face became paler and paler, and his eyes began to flicker.
Xiao Mubei glanced at the tables and chairs outside. The jailer immediately stepped forward, wiped the chairs with his sleeves, and ran out to bring over the teapot and teacups, pouring a cup of tea for Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi respectively.
Xiao Mubei took a sip of the tea, put the cup down, and then spoke slowly, "My patience is limited. I'll give you half an incense stick of time to think carefully about what to say. If what you say is valuable, I'll consider leniency and not kill you. If it's not valuable or you didn't say it, I can sentence you to death by slicing just for the crime of killing the Dali Temple jailer."
The man's face immediately turned even paler.
Chu Yunxi deliberately asked, "Your Highness, the punishment of lingchi means cutting off the flesh of the body piece by piece?"
Xiao Mubei said in a deep voice: "That's right, Lingchi is also known as the punishment of a thousand cuts. The person must be cut 1585 times on the body. Before the last cut falls, the person must be alive, and only the last cut can kill him."
Chu Yunxi shuddered, took a breath of cold air, and said, "More than a thousand cuts, how painful would that be? Besides, can it be completed in one day?"
Xiao Mubei chuckled, "Who says it has to be done in one day? Some take two days, some take three days. Anyway, if you can't finish it, no one will die."
Chu Yunxi looked at the man's pale face and said, "Three days. He will be in pain for thirty-six hours. Tsk tsk, it's really pitiful."
The two chatted as if no one was around, and the man in the prison couldn't stand it any longer. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you have any evidence to prove that I killed the jailer of the Dali Temple?"
"As for the evidence, you'll have it when your fellow apprentices come. Just because you're not afraid of being tortured doesn't mean they aren't either. Someone will always tell the truth." Chu Yunxi said with a smile, "In fact, we don't really want you to confess anything. After all, if you tell us, we'll have to spare your life. You wanted to kill me before, and I'm still angry. I don't want to spare you yet."
Chu Yunxi turned her head to look at Xiao Mubei, "Prince, why don't we go? If we don't listen to him, we can find a spineless person to torture him to death."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xiao Mubei stood up and was about to leave.
The man panicked, as if a nail had sat on his butt. He stood up all of a sudden, rushed to the fence and said, "King Dingbei, don't leave. I'm telling you."
Xiao Mubei stopped and turned back to say, "Are you sure you want to say it? Don't blame me for not reminding you. If what you say is worthless, I still won't forgive you."
The man had made up his mind. This time, Nankun Martial Arts School was doomed. If he wanted to survive, he had no choice but to betray his master. Master, I'm sorry, but if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. You taught me that.
"King Dingbei, you must keep your word. If I say so, you must be lenient to me."
Xiao Mubei snorted coldly, "I, the King of Dingbei, always keep my word."
"Okay, I'll tell you." The man swallowed and held out his hand, saying, "Can I have a cup of tea first?"
He hadn't eaten or drunk anything for several days and his mouth was dry. He looked at the tea on the table as if it were nectar.
Chu Yunxi handed him the cup of tea she hadn't finished. He gulped it down in one gulp, handed the cup back, wiped his mouth with his backhand, and said, "Actually, we are not from Suiguo. We are from Nandi."
This one sentence startled Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi, but they both tacitly didn't show anything on their faces.
The man saw that he had dropped such a bombshell, but neither of them was surprised at all. He felt a little anxious, fearing that what he said was something that Xiao Mubei already knew.
Chu Yunxi's mind raced, and a word came to mind, "spy."
The man paused and said, "My name is Cui Wenchang, and I am the master's second apprentice. But in fact, my martial arts were all taught by my senior brother. There is an unwritten rule in our place that everyone who comes calls my master, but the martial arts are taught by my senior brothers. The master said that this way, it will help everyone to progress faster."
Chu Yunxi's heart moved, "Who taught Yue Haoran kung fu?"
Cui Wenchang said: "Yue Haoran's kung fu was taught by the master himself."
"Why?" Chu Yunxi felt strange. Is there something different about Yue Haoran?
"I don't know either. The master has only taught two disciples, the eldest brother and Yue Haoran. They all thought that the master was impressed by the boy's comprehension, but I always feel that there is something fishy here."
I also think there is something fishy. Yue Haoran's mother's surname is Wu, and she fled from Nandi. This so-called master was willing to confront the Dali Temple in order to save Yue Haoran, and later sent so many people to rob the carriage. If he says there is nothing fishy, no one will believe it, Chu Yunxi said secretly in her heart.
