    Murong Ci looked at the beggar. He was plain-looking and about the same age as Ma Dong. He was wearing a torn and dirty gray coarse cloth robe, and a pair of worn-out straw sandals on his feet. He was almost unwearable.  The big foot was dark and dirty, as if it hadn't been washed in a year.  His hair was as rough as straw and dirty, with a few grass clippings stuck in it.

    Shen Zhiyan said that the beggar¡¯s legs had been broken and he walked with a limp, so they called him Li Laizi.

    Li Laizi was enjoying himself in the cell. He was not worried or anxious. He scratched his body for a while and felt much more comfortable. Then he let out a long yawn and prepared to sleep. It was as if this was his home, with everything to eat and drink.  Having some sleep is more comfortable than being a beggar outside.

    Shen Zhiyan scolded: "Li Zizi, get up, I want to ask you something."

    Li Laizi lay comfortably on the cool ground, resting his arms on the ground and supporting his head. He yawned again and said vaguely: "Sir, please don't disturb Xiaomin's sleep. When Xiaomin wakes up, what do you want to ask me?  The people must report truthfully."

    "Okay, just go to sleep. The Japanese officials won't let the government officials bring you food or tea for these three days. You'll be hungry for three to five days before you report." Shen Zhiyan said slowly and calmly.

    "Sir, please don't." Li Laizi got up quickly and sat against the wall, smiling in apology, "Sir, I'm not sleepy anymore. You can ask whatever you want, and I will answer truthfully."

    "Have you been wandering around the small temple in the west of the city? Where do you usually stay overnight?" Murong Ci asked coldly.

    "Yes. The common people either stayed overnight in that small temple or stayed in a thatched cottage three miles away."

    Shen Zhiyan whispered: "There are several thatched cottages a few miles west of the city. They were built by some beggars. They are the beggars' nests in the west of the city."

    Murong Ci nodded and asked, "Do you know Ma Dong?"

    Li Laizi yawned again and replied: "We know each other. Xiaomin and Ma Dong are good buddies and have known each other for many years."

    "Do you know where Ma Dong is now?"

    "I know. Ma Dong was arrested by your yamen and locked up. It's good to be locked up. He eats the delicious official rice from the yamen, and everyone is envious. So Xiaomin also came in today." He chuckled, extremely proud.

    "He was detained in the cell because he was suspected of murder. Do you know why you were detained?"

    "I know. Everyone knows that the two young girls were killed, and they all say that Ma Dong killed them. As for Xiaomin, what crime did Xiaomin commit?"

    "You are Ma Dong's accomplice. Ma Dong was sentenced to death, and you will also be beheaded." Murong Ci raised his eyebrows coldly.

    "Ah? Behead!" Li Laizi's expression changed drastically, and he knelt on the ground anxiously, "Master Qingtian, Xiaomin did not kill anyone, and he is not an accomplice of Ma Dong. Xiaomin has never done anything"

    "You and Ma Dong are good buddies. If you are an accomplice, you are suspected of murder. You can't let it go." She sat down in the armchair leisurely.

    "It's unjust, Mr. Qingtian, it's snowing in June" He cried loudly, stretching his hands forward, extremely exaggerated, "I'm wronged by the little people"

    "Where were you on the night of the crime?"

    "Xiao Min is here" Li Laizi lowered his head, his eyes averted, "Xiao Min is over there at the thatched cottage"

    "Nonsense!" Shen Zhiyan yelled angrily, "You clearly told the government officials that you were in a small temple!"

    "Sir, Xiaomin lied to them, because Xiaomin wanted to be arrested and put in a prison cell. The food in the public house is delicious."

    Murong Ci smiled slightly, but it was so gloomy that it was creepy, "It's fine if you don't tell me. I'll hang you later, or I'll spin you through the running torture instrument first. What do you think?"

    Shen Zhiyan also smiled and said: "I will make arrangements right away. If the torture instrument of running water is used once, he will lose most of his life."

    Li Laizi was scared and waved his hands anxiously, "No, Mr. Qingtian, please don't Xiaomin did go to the small temple that night"

    She asked: "When did you go?"

    He lowered his head and replied: "It's almost midnight."

    She glanced at Shen Zhiyan and suddenly asked sternly: "You saw the deceased, Miss Xia, who was as beautiful as a flower, and you got interested in her, so you raped her first and then killed her, right?"

    He was startled. He raised his head in shock and shouted in panic: "It's wrong, sir. Xiaomin did not rape that girl, let alone kill anyone It was someone else. Xiaomin saw a man kill those two girls"

    "Did you witness it with your own eyes? Did you really think it wasn't you?"

    "It's absolutely true, I saw it with my own eyes." Li Laizi almost swore to God.

    "What on earth did you see? Is it Ma Dong's attack on Xia?look.  "

    "Okay, let me take a look." He took the portrait and looked at it for a while, "It is indeed Mr. Rong."

    Murong Ci asked her to put the portrait away and asked solemnly: "Shopkeeper, have you seen it clearly?"

    The shopkeeper nodded, "How could I not see clearly? It's indeed the same person."

    Coming out of Guiyun Tea House, Murong Ci¡¯s slender eyebrows were set deeper and deeper.

    Seeing her thoughtful look, Qin Ruo asked, "Your Highness, are you going back to the palace now?"

    Murong Ci nodded subconsciously, "Go back to the palace."

    However, she did not return to the East Palace, but went to Jinghong Hall.

    Since Princess Zhaohua was restricted from entering and exiting at will, the entire Jinghong Palace was quieter than usual, and not a single shadow of the palace residents could be seen.

    As they entered, a chamberlain suddenly appeared from the side, and both of them were startled.

    ¡°This servant is going to pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince, and I¡¯m going to report to the princess.¡± The chamberlain said quickly.

    "No need, I want to give the imperial sister a surprise." Murong Ci took out the red wishful knot and asked, "Have you ever seen such a wishful knot?"

    The servant looked up at the Ruyi Knot and replied respectfully: "I have seen it before. Li Xin has worn it."

    Qin Ruo asked: "Is Li Xin the maid of Jinghong Palace?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
