All the members are villains, and she just wants to show off when she is dressed as cannon fodder.

"It's probably going to change in the capital city..."

There is no shortage of people chatting about world affairs outside the breakfast shop.

"Fan Shi'an from the Fan family's paper shop is dead..." said a porridge drinker.

The person sitting opposite him answered, "That fool? Didn't he lock himself up after his wife's death and stay with his wife's body all day long? Why did he suddenly think of dying again?"

The porridge drinker almost spat out his words and interrupted him, "Oh, don't mention that incident, it's so disgusting!

His death was not suicide, but it was said to be related to the paper stabbing case! "

He paused and continued: "My neighbor's brother-in-law's cousin's mother-in-law's nephew has someone in the Yamen. I heard that Prince Yu found the previous bill from Fan Shi'an, which confirmed that all the people at the scene of the previous crime were tied with paper. It was sold from him. Guess who bought it?"

Seeing everyone looking at each other in confusion, the man looked around, opened his mouth and still didn't dare to say anything, so he pursed his lips in the direction of the palace and said, "The people over there bought it!"

After the words were finished, there was a gasp and everyone shrank.

The porridge drinker kept saying, "Don't you believe it, all the servants around the buyer were taken away by Prince Yu for interrogation!"

"Prince Yu is interrogating?"

After hearing Prince Yu's name, some people couldn't help but answer the question and curled their lips with pity on their faces. "I'm afraid it won't last a whole day!"

"One day? You haven't seen the county prince recently. He looked as if someone had robbed his wife. Look, he can't even hold on for half a day!"

Someone laughed and said secretly: "In this world, Prince Yu is the only one who robs other people's wives. How can anyone else rob his wife? Not to mention being brave and brave, even his face can't compare to his handsomeness."

The stall owner stopped them early and said, "Quit Hu Qin, you guys just finished eating and left, but I still have to make a living here! If others hear the news and sue me, how can I live? I'm a little old man." My body can’t support even a stick of incense! Please do it, please!”

He bowed his hands, and everyone laughed and finished eating and left.

In the dark alley, the porridge drinker was kicked to the ground as soon as he turned the corner. Just as he opened his mouth to curse, Cui Xiaoyi walked out with a dark face.

The porridge drinker stood up and called Master Cui with a smile on his face.

Cui Xiaoyi said with a sullen face, "Okay, Xie Si'er, I asked you to spread the word. You even dare to make jokes about the master. What? You think you have a long life?!"

Xie Si'er trembled with fright and quickly knelt down on the ground, "Master Cui Mingjian, that's not what the villain said. The villain is wronged!"

He just laughed.

Seeing that Cui Xiaoyi still had a sullen face, Xie Si'er hurriedly said: "I remember those faces that were full of chewing, I'll catch them now!"

As he stood up to go, Cui Xiaoyi said: "Okay! I'm the one listening today. If Cen Huan were here, your head would have fallen off a long time ago!"

Cui Xiaoyi had always indulged them, and Xie Si'er became bolder in front of him. Hearing Cen Huan, he couldn't help but shudder.

Although she is a young girl who has just turned 20, she has a very cold temperament. She never says much and only draws her sword quickly. Once she accidentally killed someone, and Prince Yu just clicked his tongue.

From then on, Cen Huan became a Rakshasa girl in the eyes of their brothers. Just hearing Cen Huan's name made them afraid to make mistakes.

"Why haven't you seen Miss Huan recently?"

Cui Xiaoyi frowned slightly, "Is it your turn to inquire? Go and do your errands! Don't delay my business!"

Xie Si nodded like a fool, but he didn't understand, "Master Cui, why do you want to spread this to the whole city? Aren't you going to leak the secret?"

Cui Xiaoyi said: "You know nothing! Only when the whole city knows about it can we continue to investigate this case!"

Xie Si seemed to understand, but seeing that Cui Xiaoyi had long lost his patience, he ran away wisely.

The prison in Shangjing City is a place where sunlight cannot penetrate. The cell door is in a state of decay due to its age and disrepair.

The shrill screams are endless, the tone is neither male nor female, high-pitched and harsh, making people very uncomfortable. Cui Xiaoyi picked his ears, opened the door and walked in.

The torture chamber was dark and claustrophobic, with only a brazier burning. The people on trial were chained and hung on the rack, covered in blood.

Qu Baiyu sat opposite the execution frame, leaning forward and placing his slender fingers on the lid of the light blue porcelain cup. Under the firelight, the indigo robe was filled with purple, and even the fingertips were shining brightly, making her look extremely noble.

"I advise you to be smart. If you confess her, you will be nothing more than an accomplice. Just chop her off with one knife. If you don't confess her, you will suffer more than a hundred lives, be executed in Ling Chi, and be stabbed for more than three thousand times... but it will be even more uncomfortable than the current acupuncture punishment. !Can you bear it?"

His tone was so cold that there was a hint of coldness oozing out of it.

The body of the chamberlain was hanging limply on the torture rack, the tips of his ten fingers were bright red, and he was speechless with his head hanging down.

Qu Baiyu's fingertips gently circled the porcelain cup and said nonchalantly: "The fingers are broken and there is no use keeping them. Let's chop them off."

Hearing this, the chamberlain who was hanging on the torture rack struggled, his mouth opened and closed, and a mouthful of blood flowed out. He whined and said something.

The jailer approached the chamberlain and replied after a moment: "Master, let him do it!"

Qu Baiyu stood up and walked out, and the jailer hurriedly went to get the confession for the man to sign.

Cui Xiaoyi had been waiting outside the door and put the big cloak on him.

"Have the people who stayed in the Western Mountains come back?"

Qu Baiyu asked indifferently. It seemed that whether he asked this question or not, he already knew the answer.

Cui Xiaoyi nodded awkwardly, "I'm back... I didn't find it..."

The sky was overcast and filled with thick, low, gray-yellow turbid clouds.

There was no emotion on Qu Baiyu's face. He waited until the jailer handed the confession to Cui Xiaoyi, then got on the carriage and went to the palace.

The northeast wind roared and raged down the long street. Without the sun, the giant sycamore tree seems to have lost its soul, and it no longer has the vitality of the past.

After meeting Emperor Jingyuan and reporting the progress of the case, rumors spread throughout the city to the palace.

Emperor Jingyuan sat behind the imperial desk, his eyes extremely sharp. Qu Baiyu lowered his head and said nothing, watching his heart with his eyes. After a long time, Emperor Jingyuan chuckled softly, "If that's the case, then the prince should check it out!"

Qu Baiyu left the imperial study without rushing back, and went to see his aunt, Queen Qu.

A nun walked out of the palace and bowed her head to Qu Baiyu who was waiting outside. "Your Majesty is feeling unwell and has just taken medicine and fallen asleep. I have specially ordered your servant to tell Your Majesty that she knows what you are thinking and there is no need to come here any more." It’s up to her.”

Qu Baiyu knew that now that the prince was gone, Emperor Jingyuan's attitude towards Lizhou made Queen Qu even more fearful.

In addition, Emperor Jingyuan's attitude towards the case was ambiguous, so it was reasonable for Queen Qu to want to protect herself wisely.

Sure enough, after finishing speaking, the nanny came closer and said: "Your Highness, if I dare to say something that is not acceptable, this matter still depends on the emperor."

Qu Baiyu knew that this was what Queen Qu asked her to warn her.

With a calm expression on his face, he handed a piece of paper to Mammy. When he arrived, he had expected that Queen Qu might not be willing to see him, and had already been prepared.

He released the case because it involved Imperial Concubine Dao. Emperor Jingyuan wanted to turn the matter into a trivial matter because of the birth mother of the sixth prince.

He then released the news, and now everyone in the city knew about it. If he waited a day longer, more and more people would know. External pressure can make Emperor Jingyuan pay attention to the case, so that there will be no resistance for him.

But even this is not enough.

Dao Guifei insisted on taking Yuan Tong'er's life for some reason, and she was determined to fight until death, so he couldn't just sit idly by.
