Chapter 22

Cui Hengyue glared at Mu Feng fiercely.

Asking her to find the murderer without giving her any reward is really shameless.

"Okay, I'll look for it."

Cui Hengyue gritted her teeth and decided not to fight pointlessly. She stretched out her hands and said, "It's time to loosen the ties now."

If even this request is rejected, she will quit.

As if he heard her thoughts, Mu Yun winked at the guard, who stepped forward and untied the rope from Cui Hengyue's hand.

Cui Hengyue turned her stiff wrist and stretched out her hand to Mu Yun: "Give me the medicine."

Before Mu Yun could speak, Mu Feng ruthlessly rejected Cui Hengyue's unreasonable request: "Those who leave the South Hall privately are not qualified to use medicine."

"..."

People had to bow their heads under the eaves, okay, she tolerated it.

Mu Yun glanced at Cui Hengyue's clenched fist and pointed at Su Biwen and others: "They are all here. Whatever you want to ask, ask it now."

Cui Hengyue didn't even look at Su Biwen and others, and said bluntly: "No need, the murderer is not among them."

Hearing this, Li Benru couldn't help shouting loudly: "Crazy girl, you are still clear-sighted and know that we will not kill anyone."

Su Biwen's eyes flickered, but he rarely refuted Cui Hengyue.

Li Bi'er looked at Cui Hengyue steadily, her expression unperturbed.

Mu Yun and Mu Feng exchanged glances and announced loudly: "Today's errands are cancelled. Everyone should go back to their rooms. No one is allowed to come out without orders."

"Then will I have something to eat tonight?" Su Biwen took the opportunity to ask.

Mu Yun looked at Yun Chen.

Yun Chen habitually looked to the side, but there was no shadow of morning light, so he blurted out: "You haven't finished your work in the morning, you still want to eat?"

"..."

Su Biwen glared at Cui Hengyue hatefully and returned to the room under the supervision of the guards.

"Go to Wenshu Pavilion."

Mu Yun gave an order, and Yun Chen and Yun Lin personally escorted Cui Hengyue upstairs.

It wasn't until Cui Hengyue disappeared from sight that Song Zhuoxing withdrew his gaze and gratefully said to Chen Guang, "Thank you, General."

Faced with such a polite young man, Chen Guang was embarrassed to keep a straight face and forced out a smile: "You are so polite, young man.

"Also, my name is Chen Guang. I am a lieutenant, not a general."

"Deputy Lieutenant Chen." Song Zhuoxing changed his title politely.

Runzhu asked curiously: "Who were the people who blocked us at the gate before? Are they generals?"

Chen Guang paused, but chose to tell the truth: "Well... the slightly fat one is called Yun Chen, and he is a captain.

"The slightly darker one is called Yun Lin, and he is the captain..."

The one named Yun Chen is worth three of them, but is he a little fat?

Also, the one named Yun Lin is as black as ink. Is it also called slightly black?

Runzhu curled his lips, feeling that Chen Guang loved telling lies with his eyes open.

"The person in charge of the South Palace is General Mu Yun, whom you have met just now.

"Although General Mu is in charge of the South Palace, he usually does not show up. The general affairs of the South Palace are handled by Lieutenant Yun Du..."

With Chen Guang's introduction, the group entered the North Courtyard.

Chen Guang stopped in the room next to Su Biwen and said to Song Zhuoxing: "You two will stay in this room temporarily. Don't go out today. I will send someone to deliver dinner to your room..."

After giving some careful instructions, Chen Guang left the north courtyard.

As soon as he entered the room, Runzhu closed the door and said to Song Zhuoxing: "Sanlang, we don't have much money left. Don't be so generous with your money in the future. Don't use money if you can't use it."

"You just give them money to do something like this. When you run out of money, they won't be so polite anymore..."

Song Zhuoxing listened impatiently and said a few perfunctory words: "I know, I will pay attention to it in the future."

Runzhu had followed Song Zhuoxing since he was a child and knew Song Zhuoxing's temper very well. Seeing that he was impatient, he changed the subject:

"Didn't you want to save that little lady before? Why did you plot against her later and let her fall into the hands of that General Mu?"

This doubt has been lingering in Runzhu's heart, and he will definitely not be able to sleep tonight unless it is solved.

Song Zhuoxing sat down, poured a glass of water and drank it, then slowly explained: "You also saw the situation at that time. Captain Yun Du led more than a hundred guards, and the little...that little lady was just one

Man, she definitely can't escape.

"Even if the two of us take action, we can't help her.

"And she was already injured at the time. If I didn't stop her, with her temperament that she would rather be broken than destroyed, she would definitely be seriously injured, and maybe even her life would be involved."

Hearing this, the biggest doubt in Runzhu's heart emerged again: "Sanlang, how did you know that little lady?"

Song Zhuoxing's expression paused, and then he ordered Runzhu: "Now count the money we have and see how much we have left."

Do you think he is an idiot for changing the subject so abruptly?

Runzhu felt very unhappy and repeated the question again: "How do you know that little lady?"

"..."

Song Zhuoxing simply stood up, pretended to yawn, and walked towards the bed: "I've been traveling all day and I'm exhausted. I'm going to sleep first. You can do whatever you want."

After saying this, Song Zhuoxing got on the bed without even taking off his boots, turned his back to Runzhu, and began to snore.

Runzhu was speechless and stared at Song Zhuoxing's back for a long time. Finally, he sighed and lay down on the small bed opposite Song Zhuoxing.

--------

Wenshu Pavilion.

Mu Yun was in a superior position and looked at Cui Hengyue expressionlessly: "You saw the body just now. Tell me, what did you find?"

"He died after his neck was broken. The bruises on his body were not caused by abuse during his lifetime, but were caused after his death." Cui Hengyue said.

Mu Yun was a little disappointed: "We all know this."

Cui Hengyue thought for a moment: "The murderer beat the deceased with a stick after killing someone, or he had great hatred towards the deceased. This was just to vent his anger.

"Or he has nothing to do with the deceased, and he is just doing this to put the blame on me."

Cui Hengyue thinks it is the latter.

After she was arrested, several people wanted to accuse her of murder. Among them, Su Biwen targeted her because she had kicked over the beans before.

When other people targeted the little madman, she couldn't understand it. In her memory, the little madman had no hatred against others.

However, she learned the news today that on the day she jumped off the cliff, someone secretly assassinated her and wanted to kill her.

Therefore, someone must have framed her and wanted to use Mu Yun's hand to kill her.

After hearing Cui Hengyue's words, Mu Yun fell silent.

The two people who were hiding in the dark and wanted Cui Hengyue's life have not been found yet. It is very likely that, as Cui Hengyue guessed, someone deliberately framed the murder case on Cui Hengyue.

If this is the case, then the person hiding in the dark is too scary, and he must find this person and get rid of him.

Not to protect Cui Hengyue, but for the safety of the South Palace, for the safety of the master...

Thinking about this, Mu Yun said in a deep voice: "Since you said you can find the murderer within one day, then I will leave this case to you. I hope you will not let me down."

Huh, she didn't agree to find the murderer just to show off to them. Cui Hengyue snorted coldly in her heart and said calmly:

"If you want the murderer to show up, you can't be around. I need to question the people involved in the case alone."

Mu Yun frowned: "Do you think the murderer is one of our own?"

"I didn't say that."
