Xiao Yu limped over to the corpses of the seven men in black.

All seven men in black had deep lines of blood on their necks, wounds from sharp sword blades that had swiftly slashed their throats.

"It seems that Prince Rong is a very cautious person."

Xiao Yu sighed softly and said, "It's a pity that these seven people died too easily."

"..."

Jin Mulan remained silent to the side.

She glanced up at the night sky, estimated the time, and said, "It's still early before dawn. Let's go to the yamen first and have Magistrate Zhang send someone to collect the body. You rest at the yamen while I go to fetch the imperial physician."

"good."

Xiao Yu nodded.

Although the wound medicine that Jin Mulan applied to him was very effective, the wound on his chest was quite serious. He had been scratched by Sun Wudi and had also been wounded by a sword. He needed to treat the wound as soon as possible.

"My wife's waist is so supple."

Xiao Yu naturally wrapped his arms around Jin Mulan's slender waist again, pretending to be seriously injured, and pressed his body close to hers.

"???"

Jin Mulan glared at Xiao Yu. "You hugged me, fine, but you even said it out loud. How am I supposed to save face?"

"I accidentally blurted out my true feelings... Ouch, my wound hurts so much."

Xiao Yu held his wife's sexy waist tightly, his brows furrowed slightly, looking like his wound was in great pain. Yes, he was in so much pain that he couldn't suppress the pain in his mouth.

I really want to hit him!

Jin Mulan suppressed the urge to beat the guy up and helped him walk step by step toward the yamen.

There are people on night duty at the government office.

The constables on night duty rushed to greet Jin Mulan as she helped the badly injured Xiao Yu in, anxiously asking, "Guards! Sirs, where is the villain?"

Jin Mulan and Xiao Yu had visited during the day, and Magistrate Zhang addressed them as "Master" repeatedly.

Therefore, the yamen runners on night duty were especially respectful to Jin Mulan and Xiao Yu.

He shouted and summoned the other constables, a total of six.

"The villain has been killed."

Jin Mulan glared at Xiao Yu with her beautiful eyes, as if to say, "We've already arrived at the yamen, and you still can't let go?"

"Why."

Xiao Yu sighed inwardly, reluctantly withdrew his hand, and then said, "Go and inform Magistrate Zhang that I have killed all eight assassins. Go and collect their bodies and confirm their identities."

"yes."

Upon hearing this, the constables quickly went to inform Magistrate Zhang.

"I want to go see Zhou An."

Xiao Yu, holding Sun Wudi's head, spoke to Jin Mulan, then limped towards the morgue.

Seeing this, Jin Mulan could only quickly walk over and help the man up.

Upon entering the morgue, a faint stench of decay immediately filled the air.

There were three corpses in the room. Xiao Yu walked towards Zhou An's body...

After receiving Xiao Yu's money, the coroner quickly ordered brocade clothes and a coffin for Zhou An, but it wouldn't be done so soon.

Seeing that the bloodstains had been wiped dry but there were still many bloodstains on Zhou An's clothes, Xiao Yu reached out to smooth out the wrinkles on his clothes and then said, "Brother, I brought Sun Wudi's head... I crippled all seven guys who tortured you, and they won't have a good death either."

"Go in peace. I will take good care of your family!"

“One day, I will have Prince Rong go down to keep you company…”

During the conversation, Magistrate Zhang arrived in a hurry.

Jin Mulan went to tell Magistrate Zhang the exact location of the eight corpses, and then asked a yamen runner to stay and take care of Xiao Yu while she went to fetch the imperial physician.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Magistrate Zhang and his constables returned with the corpses of eight men in black.

"Sir, the body has been brought back."

Magistrate Zhang walked over and spoke.

"Um."

Xiao Yu knew that Magistrate Zhang didn't want to cause trouble, so he wanted to ask him what to do. So he waved his hand and said, "Put it in the mortuary for now, you don't need to worry about the rest... Wait, first thing tomorrow morning, go and invite Zhou An's family to the yamen and tell them that the murderer has been caught and killed."

"I understand."

Magistrate Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yu's actions allowed him to extricate himself from this matter.

Although Magistrate Zhang did not know Xiao Yu, he did know Jin Mulan... How could a mere magistrate like him investigate a group of assassins who dared to assassinate the first female general of the Great Xia Dynasty?

Even a fool could tell that things are very complicated here!

About fifteen minutes later.

Jin Mulan indeed arrived with a royal physician.

"Physician Li, this is Xiao Yu. Thank you for your help... His injuries are very serious."

Jin Mulan spoke to the middle-aged imperial physician beside her.

"General Jin, you're too kind."

Physician Li quickly replied, "General Xiao and my master have a very good relationship, and I admire General Xiao's character. It is my duty to treat the wounds of General Xiao's only surviving son."

He was also a disciple of Doctor Song, and upon hearing that Xiao Yu was seriously injured, he rushed over.

"Thank you very much, Imperial Physician Li."

Xiao Yu spoke up.

Next, Imperial Physician Li began to examine Xiao Yu's wounds, and the more he looked, the more serious his expression became... If these injuries were on an ordinary person, they would have died several times over.

Surprised, he acted quickly and began to clean Xiao Yu's wounds.

"hiss!"

Feeling the stinging sensation of the alcohol disinfecting his wound, Xiao Yu gripped the chair armrests so tightly he almost crushed them.

After treating the wound, Imperial Physician Li took out an iron needle, heated it over a fire, and prepared to stitch up Xiao Yu's wound.

"Wait! You're going to sterilize it like this? Is this needle made of metal? And it's not even disposable?"

Xiao Yu was stunned. The wound had finally been disinfected, and this was the result. How unprofessional!

"This is how we've always disinfected."

Physician Li spoke calmly, then looked at the iron needles in his hand and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"..."

Xiao Yu looked conflicted and remained silent.

If I had known this would happen, I would have treated myself. Why would I have needed you?

However, in this era of backward iron smelting technology, there was probably no better way. After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Yu said, "There's nothing wrong with that, Physician Li, please continue!"

...

the next day.

Early in the morning, Zhou An's family arrived at the yamen, including his elderly mother.

But after seeing the seven men in black with their limbs pierced and their bodies covered in wounds... and, moreover, a headless man in black, whose injuries were even more severe than the other seven men in black.

Li Lan and the old lady finally felt the satisfaction of having avenged their great grudge.

They wept for a long time beside Zhou An's body.

Finally, Li Lan spoke up, "Thank you so much for catching the murderer and avenging Old Zhou. Thank you, thank you..."

"We didn't kill these assassins."

The constable shook his head and said, "It was the two magistrates who killed these assassins."

Your Excellencies?

Li Lan and the old lady were puzzled for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked, "Could you take us to see that official? I want to thank him for avenging my husband!"
