The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 71 Chu Yunxi has a backer
Yue Haoran frowned and recalled for a long time before saying, "There were about 500 people guarding King Dingbei at that time. As for which two of them were your brothers, I really don't know."
Chu Yunxi thought about the chaotic situation at that time. There were so many people. Yue Haoran and his men's target was Xiao Mubei. The others would definitely be killed when they met them. It was indeed impossible for them to find out who was killed. She originally held out a glimmer of hope that Chu Yuanxi and Chu Zhongxi were generals, and Yue Haoran would have some impression of them. Now it seems that her hope is shattered.
Yue Haoran didn't know anything more. Chu Yunxi asked Bai Yu to send him back. She read the confession that Bai Yu had just recorded for a long time and sorted out the situation at that time in her mind. Then she asked Bai Yu to bring Yue Qingyun over.
Since the people from Nankun Martial Arts School were arrested, they have only been interrogated once, and the purpose at that time was to find Wu Di. No questions were asked about the affairs of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion. Now that Wu Di's matter has come to an end and these people are about to be beheaded, Chu Yunxi can only seize the time, dig out as much inside information as possible, collect all the evidence, and prepare for the redress of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion.
Before Yue Qingyun came, Xiao Mubei came back first.
As soon as he returned to the Dali Temple, he heard that Chu Yunxi had come to the prison. For some unknown reason, he did not even return to the courtyard, but went straight to the prison without taking off his court clothes.
When Chu Yunxi heard the voice and looked up, she saw Xiao Mubei wearing a red official uniform, which made his figure more upright and his body as tall as jade look more beautiful than his usual clothes.
It turns out that uniforms from ancient times to the present are so beautiful, Chu Yunxi thought to herself, admiring the beauty intently.
Xiao Mubei coughed lightly. Why was the person opposite him looking at him so undisguisedly? But then he thought again, when had the Chu Yunxi he knew ever been coy?
Chu Yunxi, who was not shy, was awakened by the cough and said sincerely: "Your Highness, you look really good in your official uniform. You can wear it more often in the future."
Beautiful things should be appreciated and praised. You don’t have to own them, but you can look at them for free. This is Chu Yunxi’s life creed.
Xiao Mubei didn't know how to react. He could only pretend he didn't hear it and change the subject, "Why are you here alone?"
"Bai Yu just sent Yue Haoran away and will bring Yue Qingyun here later. Your Majesty, this is Yue Haoran's confession. Take a look."
Chu Yunxi handed over the confession in her hand. Xiao Mubei looked at it and his expression gradually became solemn.
Chu Yunxi saw his expression change and asked hurriedly, "Is there something wrong?"
"No, I just remembered that I was poisoned and could not walk well. General Chu sent Yuan Xi and Zhong Xi to escort me back to the capital. At that time, the news of Nandi's massive attack had already arrived. I asked the general to take a junior general with him, but he refused and sent both of them to me. Unfortunately, I failed to protect them well."
Chu Yunxi heard the self-blame in his words, so she said, "In fact, Your Majesty, you can imagine what would happen if one of my brothers followed my father?"
"Will..." Xiao Mubei was suddenly stuck. He realized that this was a dead end no matter what. Whether he went to fight with Nan Di or followed him, he could not escape death in the end. That time, Nan Di's troops were divided into two routes, and sufficient troops were arranged on each route. Unless they increased their troops, it would be extremely difficult to escape.
"Do you think the outcome won't change? So, whether or not I follow you isn't the point. What I'm most confused about now is why my father made such an arrangement when he knew that the troops were insufficient? Was there really no other way?"
Although Chu Yunxi had never been on the battlefield, she knew that an experienced general would definitely have alternative plans when fighting, and would choose the best option at the critical moment.
Just as Xiao Mubei was about to say something, Bai Yu came in with Yue Qingyun, so he sat down and said to Chu Yunxi, "Ask whatever you want, do whatever you want, don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
As expected, people with backers are more confident. After hearing what Xiao Mubei said, Chu Yunxi's first words to Yue Qingyun were, "We promised Wu Di that after he died, we would send someone to send his body back to Nan Di for burial. What about you? Do you have this requirement? We can discuss it."
Yue Qingyun was stunned. Was this an interrogation? He remembered that the last time he was interrogated, he was asked whether he preferred flogging or branding. How come this time he was asked about his needs? And such a weird need.
But you know what, it's quite tempting.
He had already accepted and resigned himself to the fact that he was about to die in Dasui, but could he bargain again? Because in addition to returning to his hometown, he had a little more wish.
"What do you want to know?" Although Yue Qingyun was tempted, he remained rational. "I want to hear whether I know the answer and whether I can tell you. Then I can make an offer."
Chu Yunxi smiled, "You are very suitable to be a businessman. No wonder you manage Nankun Martial Arts School in such an orderly manner."
She already knew that Nankun Martial Arts School was doing very well in the capital, and Yue Qingyun was the one who was in charge on weekdays. Wu Di never cared about these things. He was in charge of the overall situation, and when something happened, he would ask Yue Qingyun to arrange people.
"Thank you." Yue Qingyun's voice was light and there was no expression on his face.
Chu Yunxi stopped talking nonsense and got straight to the point: "We want to know how you designed the loyal and brave Marquis Chu Xiuyao in the first place?"
Yue Qingyun did not say anything. His master had warned him repeatedly not to reveal the matter. It was not easy to defeat Dasui, the strongest opponent. Nan Di also paid a huge price, so he did not have the strength to pursue the victory later.
Although the master is dead now, Nan Di is still alive. If the case of Marquis Zhongyong is rehabilitated, will it arouse the indignation of the people of Sui State and cause any adverse effects on Nan Di?
Seeing that he was still silent, Chu Yunxi continued, "In fact, even if you don't say it, we already know a lot. We will overturn the case of the Loyal and Brave Marquis sooner or later. You are not the only one who knows this. If you don't say it, it doesn't mean that others won't say it. In this case, why don't you tell us what you know in exchange for the conditions you want?"
Xiao Mubei felt that it was a waste of Chu Yunxi's talent to be a coroner. It was obvious that she had strong interrogation and psychological skills, was proficient in medicine and autopsies, and didn't hold back in a fight. Why was it that the longer he spent with her, the more advantages he discovered in her?
It seems that I have to increase her monthly salary. Ten taels of silver is really too little.
Xiao Mubei decided to tell Yue Qingyun about the monthly salary increase after he had interrogated her. A good leader should be conscious and proactive. It would be so embarrassing if he waited for his subordinates to ask for a raise before giving her a raise.
If Chu Yunxi knew what Xiao Mubei was thinking, she would definitely regret not mentioning the salary increase to him a few days ago!
