Next time he encounters this situation, he should just stay silent and not say anything, like "Don't cry," and simply pull out a knife and hold it to the person's neck.

"Speak, are there any more of your accomplices in the woods? You'd better tell the truth, or you'll lose your head." The man in white spoke the most ruthless words in the calmest tone, his sword already drawing blood on Yun Zhu's neck.

"No, that's all." Yun Zhu wanted to shake his head, but he didn't dare to move, and his voice became a few decibels.

"Fourth Young Master, let's go back! Take him back to the temple and let the Third Young Lady interrogate him!" The man in white sheathed his sword, still believing that interrogating people, especially suspects in murder cases, was better left to the Third Young Lady.

It's not that I think Gu En is incompetent, it's just that by the time they get back it will be dawn. If they interrogate him and bring him back, they'll have to send another message. Why bother?

Bai Yi wasn't curious about the case at all. He used to be the leader of the Thousand Blades Sect and had seen too many private matters. Later, he followed Lu Zheng and helped him collect all kinds of intelligence. In fact, he was already tired of it and had no curiosity.

Those who work in this line of work have a very clear understanding of human nature, and it seems that there is nothing in the world that can arouse their interest anymore.

For Baiyi now, all he wants is to find a wife, have a child, and live a stable life.

He never dared to think of such a thing before, until he followed Lu Zheng, and after he went to the West and came back to follow Gu Xin, he dared to have this thought.

In its current form, it's all been worthwhile.

As long as the Gu family is safe and sound, his life will definitely not be bad.

Bai Yi wasn't saying he was entrusting his life to the Gu family; he just felt the Gu family was kind and righteous, and he didn't want to struggle alone.

Of course, things might change when we have children.

However, he believed that after he had a wife and children, whether he stayed with the Gu family or with Gu Xin, or did other things, his relationship with the Gu family would never become distant.

The two left the forest with Yun Zhu. Before leaving, Bai Yi searched the forest by himself and found no one else.

...

At midnight, around 3 AM, Ying's army arrived at Qiyun Temple, and Gu Xin immediately ordered a search.

Neither the monks nor the worshippers in the temple could sleep; they were all filled with anxiety.

Gu Xin deliberately observed the Feng family members in the Feng family's courtyard, and she became more and more certain that there was something wrong with Que'er.

She didn't find anything from Steward Li and Xiao Shunzi, but the two of them were definitely suspicious. After all, Miss Feng the Third and Miss Feng the Fourth died of poisoning, and the poison was in the pastries.

Xiao Shunzi may have been manipulated, but Butler Li is largely to blame.

Butler Li's emotional control was so good that you couldn't see any problem at all.

By dawn, nothing had been found, but the monks and worshippers in the temple already knew that Gu Xin had deduced who the murderer was; they just hadn't caught him yet.

It was already dawn when Bai Yi and Gu En brought Yun Zhu back to Qiyun Temple.

The monks in the temple have also begun their morning prayers.

Last night, the abbot came to ask Gu Xin. Although a case occurred at the temple, they can continue their activities as usual, so the morning prayers must continue.

Although Gu Xin did not suspect the monks in the temple, what if she did?

Instead of restricting people's movement, it's better to let everything continue as usual.

However, no one was allowed to leave, and the entrances and exits of Qiyun Temple were guarded by the Ying family army.
