Wang Xianzhi did not immediately answer the Miao King's question, but looked at Xie Xuan and said, "You brat, come here and release my pressure points!"
Before Xie Xuan could speak, the Miao King spoke up: "Tell me whatever clues you have. Release your pressure points, what if you run away?"
Wang Xianzhi: ...
He never intended to run away!
But the Miao King insisted, and Wang Xianzhi had no choice but to say, "I have never forgotten his death. For the past three years, I have been investigating, and although the progress has been slow, there have been some clues. All the clues are recorded in a book. The book is in my possession!"
Without saying a word, the Miao King walked over, reached into his robes, felt around, and quickly pulled out a booklet.
He opened the booklet and began to read it carefully.
Many people's names are written on it.
“Those are the people Xiao Wenmo came into contact with that day,” Wang Xianzhi explained.
"What about the crossed-out ones?" The Miao King saw that most people had crossed their names out, but a few were circled. "What about the circled ones?"
“Those that have been crossed out are those who have been cleared of suspicion!” Wang Xianzhe explained. “Those that have been circled are those who are highly suspicious but difficult to investigate!”
The Miao King frowned, feeling that Wang Xianzhi might not be as powerful as people said.
What a load of nonsense about a young general and a brilliant strategist—it's all fake, isn't it? These people have taken so long to investigate; they're truly useless.
He complained, "There are only a few servants. I really don't understand why you think it's difficult to investigate? Why not just arrest them and interrogate them?"
Wang Xianzhi rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you even know whose servant that is!"
The Miao King snorted coldly: "It's mine, so what? Can't you investigate?"
"How am I supposed to investigate? Should I tell you I'm dead so you can investigate them? Would you believe me?"
The Miao king remained silent.
After a long silence, he finally said, "I understand. Leave this to me. I'll find out as soon as possible!"
After saying goodbye to Yun Chuwei, the Miao King left.
Once only the three of them were left in the private room, Xie Xuan asked Yun Chuwei in a low voice, "Since he is... Wang Xianzhi, then Cui Yuetuan's death should have nothing to do with him, right?"
Yun Chuwei glanced at Wang Xianzhi and nodded slightly: "Probably. In any case, he shouldn't go so far as to kill Xie Sheng's child!"
Wang Xianzhi: ...
Is it polite to discuss his affairs in front of him without asking him about them?
Neither of them paid any attention to Wang Xianzhi. Xie Xuan bent down, picked up Yun Chuwei, and whispered, "Let me take you back!"
Yun Chuwei did not refuse.
Seeing the two men walking away, Wang Xianzhi quickly called out, "Hey! What about me? Aren't you going to leave me behind? Come back!"
Xie Xuan ignored him, and Yun Chuwei simply leaned quietly against Xie Xuan's chest.
Xie Xuan didn't speak until Huo Qingjue passed by the door, saying in a low voice, "Please take him back to the palace."
Huo Qingjue did not reply immediately, but looked at Yun Chuwei instead.
Huo Qingjue only replied, "Yes," after Yun Chuwei nodded to him.
-
Xie Xuan carried Yun Chuwei as they walked slowly down the street.
He was quiet, seemingly lost in some memories.
Yun Chuwei remained silent.
Soon, the two returned to the palace.
Xie Xuan placed Yun Chuwei on the bed, wanting her to rest.
Yun Chuwei sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Xie Xuan, and said, "Sit down, let's talk!"
Xie Xuan pulled over a chair and sat down facing Yun Chuwei, looking puzzled: "What are you talking about?"
Yun Chuwei leaned closer to him and asked, "Why do you dislike him?"
Xie Xuan was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized that Yun Chuwei was referring to Wang Xianzhi.
He remained silent for a long time before speaking.
"Wang Xianzhi was ten years older than me. When I was just a seven or eight-year-old child, he was already a young general who had been to the battlefield. As far as I remember, he liked to laugh, the kind of hearty laugh..."
Youthful spirit, unrestrained and bold.
"He also seems to like carrying some candy and small gifts with him. Every time Xie Sheng sees him, he runs over and calls him 'Little Uncle.' Then he takes the candy and small gifts from him." Xie Xuan spoke slowly, her emotions seemingly unmoved. "Why do I dislike him? Maybe it's because he likes to force me to call him 'Little Uncle.'"
“He said I was a prince, and his sister was the empress, my legal mother. I should call him uncle. Children are always stubborn, and I naturally didn’t want to call him that! But he always had all sorts of ways to force me to say that uncle. Every time he succeeded, he would leave me some candy and a small gift, then laugh and carry Xie Sheng away!”
Xie Xuan remained silent for a long time before continuing to speak.
His voice was low and deep: "I really do hate him. But I can't tell whether I hate that he forced me to call him 'little uncle,' or I hate that he's not my little uncle!"
Yun Chuwei pursed her lips slightly, then stood up and straddled Xie Xuan's lap. She then reached out and gently rubbed Xie Xuan's cheek in a comforting manner.
Xie Xuan reached out and pulled the person tightly into his arms.
He rested his head on Yun Chuwei's shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "Xie Sheng really has a lot. In the last life, he even took you away from me. I hate him."
Hearing his somewhat childish words, Yun Chuwei couldn't help but laugh: "It's all in the past. He's dead now, but we're still alive!"
Xie Xuan seemed not to hear what she said, but simply pulled her closer, repeatedly saying, "You are mine...you are mine..."
"Yes, it's yours!" Yun Chu said gently.
-
The Miao King's methods of investigating matters were swift and decisive.
Upon returning to his palace, he immediately arrested everyone listed in Wang Xianzhi's register.
Then came the interrogation that lasted all night.
His interrogation methods were extremely cruel, and those people simply couldn't withstand them.
In just three days, he had completely investigated the matter.
So he began sending troops to arrest people.
A large number of royal relatives and nobles were arrested and imprisoned.
For a time, the people of Jinyao City were filled with panic.
However, the Miao king issued a proclamation to appease the people.
Soon, Jinyao City returned to its former tranquility.
Unlike at the beginning, some people's entire families were imprisoned, and their lives were in grave danger.
Just then, Yun Chuwei received a letter, a letter asking her to cooperate.
The moment Yun Chuwei received the letter, she knew the fish had taken the bait.
She immediately delivered the message to the Miao King.
The Miao King soon arrived at the palace and met Yun Chuwei.
At that time, Yun Chuwei, Xie Xuan, and Wang Xianzhi were all present.
Wang Xianzhi spoke first: "You've already found the murderer? You haven't caught him?"
Previously, Jin Yao City was in turmoil, and so many people were arrested. Wang Xianzhi thought that they had captured the people.
However, Yun Chuwei received a letter saying that she wanted to make a deal with her.
The man asked her to help him leave the city and escape Miao territory.
In exchange, he will offer up the mother Gu to completely remove the Gu poison from the two infants!
