"Brother, you're awake!" Liu Mu hurriedly walked outside, bumping into Liu Ye.Liu Ye said, "Sister-in-law said that you are going to watch a show with me when you wake up. Seeing that you are in such a hurry, do you want to come to me?"

Liu Mu said, "No, no, there must be something hidden about Chunhong's death. I have to go to the Chunfeng Pavilion to check carefully and see if there are any other clues."

"Brother, you won't accompany me anymore!" Liu Ye said with a pouted mouth.

Liu Mu smiled and said, "Brother, how could you break your promise? Give me half an hour, and I will definitely go to the theater with you!"

Liu Mu brought the official messenger to Chunfeng Pavilion, and the old bustard hurriedly greeted him, "Oh, Mr. Liu hasn't come to our Chunfeng Pavilion for a long time."

Liu Mu said, "I'm here to do some business, so I'll call all the girls and Mr. Gui in your building, and I'll interrogate them one by one."

The old bustard said as he walked, "It's different when you become an official. You speak in a clear and orderly manner. You're not the old jerk anymore."

One of the women said, "My lord, Chunhong did come to our building to borrow money, but you don't doubt that we killed her!"

Bu Si said, "Human life is at stake, so my lord can't let go of any clues."

The woman said, "If you lend money to Chunhong, it's like meat buns beating dogs. How dare we lend her too much. But Ziyan is generous, and she gave her 50 taels right away! I even had a chat with Chunhong in the room." It's been a long time, if my lord really wants to find clues, maybe Ziyan knows something."

Liu Mu was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze, "Then...not four, send someone to pass on Miss Ziyan."

Zi Yan sat opposite Liu Mu, and Liu Mu looked at him stupidly, and said for a long time, "It's okay recently."

Zi Yan ignored it, and said with a blank face, "Master Liu, do you want to inquire about Chunhong?"

"I..." Liu Mu straightened his back, took a deep breath, and said, "Do you still remember what Chunhong said when she came to borrow money from you? For example, why did she come to Jinling to borrow money?"

"She only said that it was to repay the debt to the husband, and to let her son grow up in peace."

"But there were other things that were said."

Zi Yan shook her head, "That's all Chunhong told me, if there is nothing else, the little girl will leave first." After saying that, she made a blessing and turned to leave.

"Zi Yan!" Liu Mu called to stop her.

Zi Yan turned around and said in a calm tone, "Your Excellency, there is still something to do."

"I... you... take care."

Zi Yan forced a smile, "Thank you, Master Liu."

Liu Mu watched Zi Yan go up the stairs, his heart was in a mess, and he was not in the mood to question others anymore.Bu Si said, "My lord, do you want to ask other girls?"

Liu Mu shook his head, "There are no clues here, let's go back."

When Liu Mu walked out of Chunfeng Pavilion, he saw Yu Wanran and Liu Ye were already waiting outside in sedan chairs.

Liu Mu said, "Why are you here?"

Liu Ye smiled and said, "I was afraid that you would be foolish, so I brought my sister-in-law here to wait for you."

Liu Mu smiled and got on Yu Wanran's sedan chair.

Seeing Liu Mu frowning, Yu Wanran naturally guessed something, and said, "But you're not happy?"

"Oh, it's not that the case has no clue."

Yu Wanran said, "Is it because I have no clue about the case, or did meeting an old friend disturb my mood?"

Liu Mu smiled wryly, and said, "Wanran, I have nothing to do with Zi Yan. Don't worry, since I am your husband-in-law, I will never do anything to be sorry for you."

Yu Wanran said, "Although you and I are husband and wife, what I want is not just the loyalty that can only be obtained because of a contract."

Liu Mu nodded, "I understand."

Yu Wanran stroked Liu Mu's forehead, "Although you always call me a shrew, I'm not that unreasonable vicious woman. Forget it, you've been tired for the past few days. Regardless of business or private matters, let's put it down for now. Everything will wait until later." Let's talk about it after watching the play with Ye'er."

Liu Mu got off the sedan chair, and as soon as he stepped into the theater building, an official ran over panting, saying that another body had been found in the alley in the south of the city.

Liu Mu originally wanted Yu Wanran and Liu Ye to go to the theater first, but Liu Ye's temperament to join in the fun could not let this opportunity go, and went to the crime scene in the south of the city with Liu Mu.

The officer said, "The deceased was Liu Yuzuo of the yamen. The appearance of the death was horrific, the seven orifices were bleeding, and there were no other injuries on the body. My lord, do you think it was the work of ghosts?"

Liu Mu said, "Nonsense. Those ghost words are just excuses that can't solve the case."

Liu Wu Zuo died, and his apprentice took over the position of Wu Zuo as a matter of course, saying, "Master has been working as a Wu Zuo in the Yamen for decades, and there are countless autopsies. I don't want to become the object of the Wu Zuo's inspection after my death."

Liu Mu asked, "Has the cause of death been found out?"

Wu Zuo said, "It's strange. The deceased's seven orifices were bleeding, and it wasn't poisoning. The cause of death couldn't be found out for a while. I have never seen such a death."

He Yi squatted down to look at Liu Yuzuo's body, then carefully examined the head of the deceased, stood up and said, "I was hit on the head by a master and killed with a single palm. The cause of death is the same as that of the butcher in Qinghe County. Maybe it was the same Killed by a person." After speaking, he covered the dead man with a hundred cloth.

Liu Ye squeezed into the crowd, and said disdainfully, "The cause of death can't be detected by other people's work, so you, a fledgling little head catcher, can see it with just a few glances. I think you are clearly talking nonsense!"

He Yi said, "You are an ignorant woman with long hair but short knowledge, so naturally I won't be as knowledgeable as you."

"What! You said that this girl is a woman! Or a woman with long hair and short knowledge!" Liu Ye was about to step forward to argue, when suddenly a gust of wind blew out the white cloth covering Liu Yu's body.A pale face bleeding from seven orifices suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ye. Liu Ye screamed in fright, and threw herself into He Yi's arms unconsciously. He hugged her and patted Liu Ye on the back, "Don't be afraid."

Liu Ye tremblingly said, "Cover the cloth quickly..."

Seeing that Liu Ye was frightened, Liu Mu didn't care about any clues for the sake of his sister, so he hurriedly said, "Send the corpse to Yizhuang first."

Liu Ye asked in a low voice, "But carried it away?"

"Take it away." After He Yi said this, he realized that Liu Ye was too close to him, and hurriedly pushed Liu Ye away, and said expressionlessly, "It's just a corpse, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Liu Ye was pushed out of his arms by He Yi in front of everyone, naturally felt shameless, and said angrily, "It's strange that a girl like me is afraid of corpses! Do you know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and push me out!"

He Yi said, "A corpse is so frightened that it is not false to say that you have long hair and short knowledge."

Liu Ye said, "Looking at your cold appearance, you don't know how to be sympathetic and cherish jade at all. I'm afraid no one will marry you in this life, so you just wait to be a bachelor for the rest of your life!"

On the way back to the yamen, Liu Mu said, "There hasn't been any big case in Jinling for many years. The last big case was that Zhang Fu and I injured Mr. Zhou and his entourage. I don't want to have one after another when I first took office. There is a murder case. The old case has no clue at all, and the new case is coming one after another."

He Yi said, "It's strange, how could such a small master offend such a master. Could it be that this master has some other identity?"

Liu Mu said, "This guy is a native of Jinling. Now he has no relatives and no reason. His family is poor and likes to gamble. He hasn't married a wife in his old age. How can he have other identities?"

Just as he was talking, a man bumped into Liu Mu in a hurry, looked up at Liu Mu, then immediately lowered his head and walked away quickly.

Liu Mu said as he walked, "It looks so familiar..." Liu Mu suddenly raised his head, and said, "Catcher He, quickly help me recover the man just now." Just as He Yi was about to leave, Liu Mu grabbed him again and said, "By the way Help me steal the badge from his waist."

Liu Ye said, "Brother, why did you arrest that person?"

"I've seen that person before, he's Feng Langqu's entourage. Feng Langqu has been away from Jinling for so long, and this entourage is still here, and he was so flustered when he saw me just now, there must be something wrong!"

"Then what do you want his badge for?"

Liu Mu said, "If you can catch this person, you will naturally understand in court."

The attendant turned around and saw He Yi chasing him, he raised his breath and flew away, He Yi caught up and grabbed the man by the shoulder.The man turned back and slapped He Yi Tianling Gai with his palm. He Yi blocked it with both hands and stepped back unconsciously. This palm will kill you!"

The entourage said, "Who are you, I don't know what you are talking about."

"Follow me to the yamen, and you will naturally understand what I'm talking about."

The attendant's internal strength was much higher than that of He Yi, and He Yi didn't have the upper hand for a while, Yu Wanran saw that He Yi might not be his opponent, so she stepped forward to help.

The entourage was confident that he could beat He Yi, but now Yu Wanran came again, knowing that she was no match for these two, and she couldn't get away for a while, so she turned her gaze to Liu Ye beside Liu Mu, thinking Liu Mu loves her sister so much, if she takes Liu Ye as a hostage, she won't be afraid that she won't be able to leave the city.

The entourage struck Liu Ye with his palm, and He Yi blocked Liu Ye directly in a hurry, and was hit in the back by the opponent.Yu Wanran stepped forward and took the opportunity to touch the man's acupuncture points.

Liu Mu asked He Yi, "Is that palm okay?"

He Yi shook his head, "It doesn't matter, Liu Wuzuo and the butchers in Qinghe County must have been killed by this person. Take this person back to the Yamen first."

Liu Mu sat on the high hall and knocked on the gavel, "The suspects in the hall are here to report their names."

The entourage looked at Liu Mu disdainfully, and said, "I haven't broken any law, why did your lord arrest me?"

Liu Mu stared, "I asked your name, but you not only didn't answer, but contradicted me, come on, give me twenty big boards first." I thought to myself, Feng Lanmag's handsome entourage must not be very good Things, hitting you twenty big boards is considered cheap for you!

After the execution, Liu Mu said again, "This time, you can tell me your name."

The entourage snorted, "Zhou Jun."

Liu Mu smiled and said, "Zhou Jun! Ha, you and I are old acquaintances. Although we haven't spoken a few words, I have seen you several times when you came to my house with Mr. Feng." Said that the officer arrested the wrong person. But since you did not break the law, why did you run away in the downtown area just now?"

Zhou Jun said, "This person chased after him suddenly, who knows if he is crazy, of course I have to run away."

Liu Mu threw a token to the man and said, "You don't know this waist token, do you?"

"This..." Zhou Jun touched his waist subconsciously.

Liu Mu smiled and said, "I found this in the alley where Liu Yuzuo's body was found. I remember that Master Feng's followers seem to have such a badge on them."

"I do have such a waist card, but what's so strange about it, I must have left it there when I passed by the south alley when I was drinking."

Liu Mu smiled and said, "If you admit that this waist card is yours, then you must be the real culprit who killed Liu Yuzuo! The rope on this waist card is broken, and the other knot of the rope is in Liu Yuzuo's hands! The evidence is convincing, How can you deny it! Say, why did you kill Liu Wuzuo!"

Zhou Jun said, "You are deliberately framing me! The badge is mine, but it is still on me this morning. The head catcher must have stolen my badge when he fought me!"

Liu Mu smiled and said, "Okay, even if this waist card is not yours, Liu Yuzuo's death has nothing to do with you. But I still don't know one thing. I remember that you are Feng Langqu's personal entourage, and you will protect him wherever he goes." "Feng Langqu has been away from Jinling for a while, why did you suddenly appear in Jinling? Unless he has a very important task for you to do."

Zhou Jun said, "This matter has nothing to do with Liu Yu's murder case, so I naturally don't need to answer you."

"Okay, I know if you don't answer. Your Master Feng is related to Yang Dacheng's death, and you came here to kill people! This officer has long known that Feng Langqu is inseparable from Yang Dacheng's case. Now you If you bring it to your door, I will report to the imperial court that Feng Langqu has a great relationship with this case and ask the imperial court to investigate and deal with it strictly."

Zhou Jun said, "You framed my lord, this is a capital crime."

Liu Mu smiled and said, "The pen and ink are in the hands of the officer. I can write whatever I want. When the time comes, you will die and there will be no proof. Who knows what you confessed."

Zhou Jun shouted, "You villain, you actually want to frame my lord. Yes, I killed Liu Wuzuo, and my coming to Jinling has nothing to do with my lord."

"Why did you kill him?"

Zhou Jun said, "Because he saw me kill Chunhong."

Liu Mu hurriedly asked, "You mean you killed Chunhong, the girl from the Spring Breeze Pavilion?"

"That's right. When I came to Jinling a year ago, I went to Chunfeng Pavilion. This woman served me for one night. I didn't want to bump into this woman again this time when I came to Jinling with Master Feng. This crazy woman actually said that her son was with me. She said that her husband-in-law insulted her in every possible way, and would not have married that butcher if she hadn't had my child. So she asked me to be responsible for their mother and child, and asked me to take her to the capital to marry her. I disagree with her So she pestered me in every possible way, saying that if I didn't marry her, she would go to the capital to spread the news about my affair with the brothel woman. Master Feng has already discussed with my old man Feng Shangshu and agreed to betroth the young lady to me , if Feng Shangshu knew that I was having an affair with a brothel woman, he would definitely not agree to this marriage. So I killed her in a fit of anger to avoid future troubles."

Liu Mu said, "Since Liu Yuzuo witnessed you killing Chunhong that day, why didn't he tell the matter during the autopsy?"

"I thought about his age that day, so I didn't kill him, and gave him some silver as a hush money. I didn't want this person to threaten me with this, and asked me for silver over and over again. He regarded it as a way of making money, naturally He won't confess me. But the appetite of this life-and-death bastard is getting bigger and bigger, and I'm afraid it will become my trouble sooner or later, so I naturally can't keep him."

"What about the butchers in Qinghe County?"

"I also killed the butcher. Who knows if Chunhong told the butcher about us before she was alive. In order to marry Miss Feng's family, of course I have to get rid of everyone who might reveal this."

Liu Mu asked, "Liu Wuzuo and the butcher surnamed Tian were beaten to death by your slap on the head. But Chunhong's body showed no signs of injury at all. How did you kill her?"

Zhou Jun smiled disdainfully and said, "Is it necessary to have a wound or leave a mark when killing someone? I just ordered her famous family and killed her with one move."

Liu Mu looked at He Yi, and He Yi said in a low voice, "I just fought against this man, with his internal strength, he can completely kill this woman with one move."

Liu Mu patted the gavel, "Now the evidence in this case is convincing, come, someone, put the prisoner Zhou Jun in prison, and behead him at noon three days later."

Zhou Jun got up and said, "It's only natural to kill people, and I will pay them with my life when I kill people, but it's not your turn to take my life!" Iron chains, the shout shook everyone to cover their ears.Zhou Jun stopped shouting and laughed at Liu Mu, only to see blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and finally fell to the ground motionless.

Liu Mu had never seen such a scene before, and she was so frightened that she hid behind the table.

The yamen servant walked over and tried Zhou Jun's breath, "My lord, he is dead."

"Dead?" Liu Mu moved sideways bit by bit.

He Yi walked over and felt Zhou Jun's pulse, and said, "He died from a broken meridian."

Liu Mu nodded in shock, only to see that the corpse was staring at Liu Mu with staring eyes, with a weird smile on his face.Liu Mu shuddered, and turned his head hastily, "Come here!" This voice almost broke his throat, "Hurry up and take this corpse away!"

Liu Ye smiled and said, "Brother, you are really capable. You can actually come up with this method to force him to tell the truth."

Yu Wanran said, "I'm afraid this is not the truth your elder brother wants at all."

Liu Mu took a sip of tea in shock, and said, "Yes, I believe that Zhou Jun killed these three people, but I don't believe that his purpose of killing was really because Chunhong had his child. With Feng's family How could one's identity make her daughter marry a follower? I'm afraid there are other reasons, maybe related to Yang Dacheng's case. Today, thanks to the arrester He, the suspect was caught. Although no more important clues were found , but finally these three murder cases were settled."

He Yi said, "It's a little effort..." After speaking, his body trembled, a mouthful of blood spit out on the ground, and he passed out immediately.

"He catcher! He catcher!" Liu Mu was so frightened that he hurriedly tried He Yi's breath, seeing that he was still breathing, he was a little relieved, and asked Yu Wanran, "What's wrong with her!"

Yu Wanran took He Yi's pulse and said, "It must be Zhou Jun's palm that hurt He Tuotou's internal organs just now!"

Liu Ye also panicked and said, "I'll go find the doctor!"

Yu Wanran said, "I'm afraid an ordinary doctor can't cure this kind of disease. It's not too late. Bring He Tutou back to the mansion. Sister Xiangyun must have a way to save her."

Liu Mu understood Yu Wanran's meaning, and hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes, bring He Catcher back to the mansion."
