Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 264

Chapter 264 Solving the Mystery of Water Ghosts
Bai Junzhuo could tell that Yin Mu was suspecting her, so he calmly explained, “I didn’t eat dinner because I smelled a lot of Ecstasy in the food. But at first, I thought that someone was going to deal with me, so I drugged my food. I didn’t expect that person to actually give it to everyone.”

Yin Mu casually leaned against the table and looked at her, “How can I listen to your words?”

Bai Junzhuo looked at him and didn’t really have any intention of punishing her. “It was I who heard someone fall into the water that rushed out to save Captain Lower Wind, and Zi Shu can testify that we were indeed attacked by a group of unknown things. Apart from that, I have nothing to do with that Captain Feng. Why would I want to harm him? Even if I really wanted to harm him, how could I think of such a stupid way to dazzle all of you and throw him into the river? Bai Junzhuo raised his eyebrows and looked at Yin Mu. “Isn’t it fine if I directly poisoned him? Or does His Majesty feel that I don’t have the ability to kill someone without anyone noticing?”

Yin Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed loudly, “I naturally know that you have the ability. I believe that you did not do this, but in that case, do you know who the real culprit is?”

Bai Junzhuo twisted the ginger on the table with his fingertips and said with a smile, “Almost there.”

“Oh? Then I’ll wait.”

Bai Junzhuo lowered his head slightly and respectfully sent him away. After he left, Bai Junzhuo heaved a sigh of relief and carefully searched the kitchen. Suddenly, he saw a piece of yellow oil paper in the trash barrel. He took it out and sniffed it. There was still the smell of some mysterious drugs left. Outside the paper was the big red seal of the Mo Ji Medicine Hall.

“Don’t remember” Bai Junzhuo murmured. At this time, Ju An came over and said to Bai Junzhuo, “Princess, Your Highness said that this ship is not safe. Tell this servant to protect you personally.”

Bai Junzhuo turned his head to look at Ju’an for a while and suddenly asked her, “Ju’an, who is the cook tonight? Is he one of us?”

Ju An nodded, “Of course, it’s our people. They were all separated from the army.”

“How about this” Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment and said to Ju An, “Help me check if the boatmen came here before dinner.”

Ju An answered, then turned around and went out to investigate. Bai Junzhuo also went back to his room and asked Yin Xun, “Zisu, did you let me look at the drug dealers’ files in Hanzhong before? Is that the biggest drug dealer in Hanzhong surnamed Mo?”

Yin Xun nodded and said, “It’s surnamed Mo.”

“Is there a medicine dealer surnamed Mo in Chang’an City?”

Yin Xun thought about it carefully and shook his head, “I’ve never heard of it. Even if there is, it’s at most a small doctor. It can’t be from the Medicine Hall.”

“That’s it.” Bai Junzhuo took out the piece of paper and said, “The paper wrapped in the ecstasy belongs to the Mo Clan. This proves that the ecstasy we planted was bought in Hanzhong. It also means that it wasn’t a mole. If it was a mole, he wouldn’t have wanted to buy ecstasy in Hanzhong. He should have bought it from Chang’an long ago.”

When Yin Xun heard this, he said, “You’re right. Moreover, all of us walk along secluded paths. No one has the chance to buy medicine in the city.”

Bai Junzhuo nodded and thought of something with this piece of paper. Not long after, he heard Ju An knocking on the door.

Bai Junzhuo let her in and Ju An said, “This servant has already asked clearly. Before dinner, those boatmen went to the kitchen and said that they were begging for some food.”

“That’s right. We have both the motive and the time to commit the crime,” Bai Junzhuo said. He turned to Yin Xun and said, “Zisu, I already know who drugged us. I also know who the water ghost who has been committing crimes on the surface of the river these past few days is.”

Yin Xun was puzzled, “Who is it?”

“It was the local boatmen who accompanied them,” Bai Junzhuo explained. “They released the news of the water ghost and said that there was a thick fog in the river. Without locals, they would definitely get lost, so people would find a few locals to lead the way. After they get on the ship, they find an opportunity to drug the owner of the ship, throw him into the water, and then take away the ship’s belongings. ”

When Ju An heard this, he patted his head and said, “Princess, do you remember what this servant told you before? Does this servant think that those local boatmen are very strange?” This servant has repeatedly bumped into them plotting something together in low voices. Moreover, when they seize the opportunity, they tell us about the haunted river. It’s so vivid that it’s even more ridiculous than this servant’s. “It seems that their goal is to make us believe that there are really ghosts on this river, so that they can pretend to be ghosts!”

Yin Xun thought for a moment and asked, “But why did they just drug us? Isn’t it quicker to drug us? It also saves us the step of throwing us into the river one by one.”

“Didn’t you order every drug dealer to forbid selling large quantities of poison to others? If they wanted to stun our entire ship, a small amount would definitely not be enough, so they had to buy large quantities of Ecstasy.”

“That makes sense. This Mo Ji Medicine Hall paper can also be used as evidence.” Yin Xun said, “I’ll go and tell Royal Brother to deal with these gangsters who play tricks on the river.”

“Wait,” said Jolla, “if we catch them like this, they will inevitably refuse to admit it. Send someone to their place of residence first. Didn’t they jump into the river just now? They will definitely be able to find something like a wet black cloak.”

Yin Xun nodded and instructed Ju An, “Ju An, bring someone over to search.”

Ju An accepted the order and immediately went out to search.

Yin Xun also went to tell Yin Mu what Bai Junzhuo had just said. Yin Mu went with Yin Xun to the place where the boatmen were. When they arrived, they saw the black cloak that had been found. The cloak was still wet, which proved that these people had just climbed out of the river.

Yin Xun recognized that these cloaks were worn by the people who had attacked them earlier. He said to Yin Mu, “Royal Brother, what should we do with them now that they have been stolen?”

The locals all knelt on the ground. They did not know the identities of Yin Mu and the others. They begged for mercy, “Gentlemen, let us go. We are also living to eat. In any case, we did not harm you this time. Why do you insist on taking our lives?”

Yin Mu sneered, “Could it be that I want to let you continue to commit evil deeds on this river and let you continue to harm others?”

The boatmen all kowtowed in unison and said, “I dare not. I guarantee that I will change my ways in the future.”

Yin Mu didn’t believe them and didn’t want to talk to them. Ask them: “Do you confess to what you have done in the face of this evidence?”

Those boatmen had nothing to deny, and they also felt that Yin Mu and the others were just ordinary wealthy merchants, so they shouldn’t have the qualifications to execute them. They had to be brought ashore to see the officials, and along the way, they had many opportunities to escape.

They all nodded and admitted, “We admit our guilt. We admit our guilt.”

“Alright, since you admit your guilt, I will also let you experience the pain of drowning alive.” Yin Mu smiled faintly and instructed, “Someone, tie them up and throw them into the river!”

Upon hearing this, the few boatmen’s faces turned pale with fear, but they did not beg for mercy.

After all, ropes and other things weren’t difficult for them. Moreover, when they were in the water, it was their world. It was possible for a few people to overturn the ship together.

However, Yin Mu seemed to know what they were thinking and added, “Right, lock them up with chains. Don’t let them have a chance to escape!”

Hearing this, the few boatmen knew that this person was about to die, and there was absolutely no chance of escaping. They all kowtowed to Yin Mu desperately, but Yin Mu and Yin Xun had already turned around and left.

On the outer deck, Yin Mu said to Yin Xun, “Zisu, it’s all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I would really think that it was the mole and suspect our soldiers. This would definitely be very disadvantageous to me.”

Yin Xun said, “Brother Huang thanked me wrongly. Everything I knew was told to me by Jun Zhuo. I was just passing a message on her behalf.”

“Oh? Is that her?” In Yin Mu’s mind, just now, in the kitchen, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly and said to herself, “Soon.” She didn’t expect that she would find out everything so quickly.

“She’s really good.” Yin Mu looked into the distance and sighed.

Yin Xun followed his gaze and remained silent for a long time. He said, “Royal Brother, Jun Zhuo seems to have misunderstood you recently.”

Yin Mu smiled and turned to look at him. “What did she misunderstand about me?”

Yin Xun also smiled and said helplessly, “She actually misunderstood that Royal Brother is interested in her. I guess I usually love her too much. Everything is mainly her. Everyone around her is circling around her, which is why she has such a ridiculous idea. I really don’t know the heavens and earth.” Yin Xun paused for a moment, then turned to look at Yin Mu and said, “Royal Brother, you don’t have any thoughts about her, do you?”

Seeing that he was serious, Yin Mu couldn’t help but pat the back of his head and said, “What nonsense? She is your woman. You are my royal brother. You don’t even compete with me in the world. How could I compete with you for a woman?”

Yin Xun couldn’t help but touch the place where he had been slapped by Yin Mu and said, “Royal Brother, you’re joking. This world is yours. Why should I compete with you? From birth until now, I haven’t had the slightest interest in this world.”

Imperial Brother naturally doesn’t know about you. Yin Mu held Yin Xun’s shoulder and looked at the sun on the river for a long time before saying, “Ninth Brother, when Mother first brought you to Jing Yang Palace, you were still a baby the size of a kitten. At that time, I already knew a lot of things and participated in the fight for imperial power.” Looking at that little kitten who is as pitiful as you, I decided that no matter what I sacrifice in this life, I will still protect your safety for the rest of your life. But I didn’t manage to drag you into this endless conflict. “He turned to look at him and sighed,” Zisu, I owe you too much. ”

Yin Xun smiled faintly and turned to look at him, “But I’m no longer that little cat from back then. I’m taller than Brother Huang now, and I have the ability to protect Brother Huang and our Yin Family.”

“Yes,” Yin Mu looked at him and said, “You and I, don’t have any estrangement in this lifetime. The conflict between brother and disciple absolutely can’t happen between us.”

Yin Xun gently nodded and heavily hammered Yin Mu’s chest. “Brother Huang, it’s true. I just casually asked you a question. You said such pretentious words, so much so that you didn’t know what to say.”

Yin Mu laughed loudly and said, “Don’t say anything. Let’s go drink.”
