Chapter 48
"What?" Ruan He was also a little surprised.

Aunt Bai was actually killed.

The first suspect is the Mu family.

Just as he was thinking about this, the official came to Ruan He and Mu Yunxiao. The official knew that Li Jiang valued Ruan He, and his attitude was slightly better than that of other prisoners.

He said: "You were seen leaving here last night. Where did you go?"

Ruan He frowned.

Although she had repeatedly paid attention last night to make sure that she was not being followed, she still did not expect to be seen. This was inevitable.

But she didn't want to tell anyone about the cave.

As soon as the gold mine comes out, there will be a lot more troubles behind it.

Just like what Mu Yunxiao said, if Li Jiang asked the imperial court for credit, he would let them, the exiled prisoners, mine here.

"Tell the truth, otherwise if the crime of murder is discovered, we, the Lord, will execute you on the spot!" the officer threatened with wide eyes.

Ruan He was naturally not scared by him, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Unexpectedly, she was pulled into Mu Yunxiao's arms. Mu Yunxiao squeezed her hand and said, "Master Cha, we are husband and wife. It is not convenient during the day. At night, we just find a place in the woods. The relationship between husband and wife Do you need to report the matter carefully?"

"You are prisoners, and you dare to wander around at night." The officer looked helpless, and could only curse a few words, and then left.

As soon as the official left, Ruan He quickly got rid of Mu Yunxiao's suspicion.

Mu Yunxiao looked down at her with a smile on his face, as if he was laughing at her.

"Madam, we are husband and wife, right?"

"Okay, stop talking."

Ruan He's ears turned a little red.

Even though he knew that Mu Yunxiao wanted to hide the gold mine, it still made people blush.

Ruan He stayed away from him, stood next to Mrs. Mutai, and asked Mrs. Mutai, "Grandma, you didn't go out last night, right?"

"No, I was afraid that it would be inconvenient to get up at night. I even drank very little water. How could a good person disappear? After all, he was a member of our family." Mrs. Mutai sighed and shook her head.

Ruan He couldn't resist his curiosity and went to take a look.

I saw that Aunt Bai's body had been carried to a pit, and the official covered her face with an unknown cloth.

Aunt Bai remained in a curled-up position until her death.

The cause of death was that a sharpened bamboo pierced Aunt Bai's head.

Seeing the bamboo, Ruan He not only screamed at Mrs. Mutai, but couldn't help but be so frightened that the hairs on his back stood up. But looking carefully, he found that the sharpened bamboo was very rough and different from the ones Mrs. Mutai took out. .

And it seemed that Aunt Bai was unprepared and was stabbed through the head all of a sudden. It seems that the person who committed the crime was an acquaintance.

On the other side, Li Jiang had already summoned all the prisoners.

He loudly said: "After our investigation, everyone who was not present last night has witnesses who have testified that they had no contact with the deceased. The Bai family of the Mu family committed suicide out of fear of crime. I have recorded it in the book. Anyone who has any doubts can raise it on the spot."

At this time, someone raised their hands and said: "How can you commit suicide by inserting such a long bamboo into your brain?"

"The deceased reaffirmed his determination to die, put the bamboo on the ground, lay down on his head, and completed the suicide." Li Jiang said.

"That's impossible. Suicide must be from the back, not from the front..."

"Oh, what you said makes sense. Why don't I leave this matter to you to investigate? If you can't find out who Chou Yin Mao is, haha." Li Jiang twitched the corners of his lips.

First of all, the deceased was just a concubine of the Mu family, not an important official.

Secondly, he had to count the time and rush on his way.

Li Jiang's two sneers made those who originally had doubts no longer dare to have any doubts.

On the other side, the official called Mu Zhengbai to dig a hole. Mu Zhengbai reluctantly started to argue with the official. "Why should you ask me to go? Those people who died from the miasma before were all buried by your officials. How can I have the strength if I don't have enough to eat every day?"

"You don't have enough to eat. This woman is going everywhere to give you food and drink. She is your woman after all. She is not even willing to dig a hole. Our officers were exhausted from putting out the mountain fire last night. If you don't have the strength, look at it. I don’t know how strong this thing is in my hand.”

The officer first mocked Mu Zhengbai, but found that Mu Zhengbai was too thick-skinned to mock, so he took out a whip.

Mu Zhengbai was shocked.

He quickly went to dig a hole, but he could do it slowly.

Brothers Mu Yunxiao and Mu Yunchao couldn't stand it, so they went over to help dig the hole.

When Mu Zhengbai saw this, he sat down and rested. He said casually, "Just dig a few times, as long as you can put people in. You don't have to be so careful. She is a bitch and she deserves to die."

Ruan He was a little angry when he heard this. He must have killed Aunt Bai.

But thinking about it carefully, it shouldn't be the case. If she were Mu Zhengbai, she should wait until Aunt Bai's injury recovered, and then she could rely on Aunt Bai for food and drink.

At this time, the young official came over and punched Mu Zhengbai directly on the cheek.

"You are really worse than a pig or a dog. If you say one more thing, I will bring you before our adults and say that you are suspected of murder."

Ruan He took a closer look.

That young official looked familiar.

It seems that she saw her having sex with Aunt Bai that day. Aunt Bai relied on him to be easy to talk to and begged the young official to take her away, but she finally caused trouble.

It is true that Aunt Bai has good taste.

This romantic man is better than Mu Zhengbai.

Finally, Li Jiang pointed out two more officials to come over to help.

The five people worked quickly to dig a pit and simply buried Aunt Bai, without even a grave bag or plaque.

Because there are no descendants and no one to worship.

None of these are needed.

The exiled team began to set out on the road, each and every one of them was numb and terrified.

During this exile, in addition to not having enough to eat, they also had to suffer physical torture, and even had to avoid being killed. Each of these incidents was terrifying.

Mu Yunxiao walked beside Ruan He and gently grabbed her hand.

"Huh?" Ruan He raised his apricot eyes to look at him, but he forgot to break away immediately.

"Don't stay too far away from me. I see that the team is not peaceful." Mu Yunxiao frowned and said, the murderer has not been found out yet.

"Whoever comes to kill me, I am not weak." After saying that, Ruan He took away his hand and said to Mu Yunxiao, "Master Li has always borrowed my dagger. I can protect myself. You, I'm afraid... There are many people who want to kill you, right?"

Ruan He's words made Mu Yunxiao's heart tighten.

He was good friends with the fifth prince, and those who were hostile to the fifth prince naturally wanted to get rid of him quickly. After climbing over this mountain, they were getting further and further away from the capital.

If there really is such a person, it's time to take action.

"Then I'd better stay away from you." Mu Yunxiao said cautiously.

"Just don't be alone." Ruan He said again.

"What are you young couples mumbling about? You are walking down the mountain in a hurry. Please watch the road." Mrs. Mutai couldn't help but remind them.

"Ouch." Ruan He's feet really slipped.

Mu Yunxiao held him in his arms, with a smile on his lips. Now that they were husband and wife, he must live well to protect her.
