Inside, it was discovered that Jin Xiaoyu's hands were chained up and tied to a wooden post, with his head bowed wearily.

"What happened to him? Did you execute the sentence?"

"No, just tied up."

"Oh, let me ask."

Li Zixuan stepped forward and called out, "Jin Xiaoyu."

Jin Xiaoyu's whole body was shocked, and he raised his head in astonishment, only to see that it was Li Zixuan, his eyes were wide open, and he asked doubtfully, "You...are...?"

The guards who were guarding the prison quickly brought chairs and tables, and also brought the Four Treasures of the Study. Li Zixuan sat down politely, looked at Jin Xiaoyu in front of him, and said with a straight face, "Jin Xiaoyu, I will interrogate you personally now, I will not You will be tortured, but you must confess yourself."

Jin Xiaoyu said, "Aren't you the one who saved me that day?"

"Yes!"

Seeing everyone's respect for him and Li Zixuan's gorgeous attire, Jin Xiaoyu already guessed his identity in his heart, "No! You...you are... the little prince?"

"Yes."

Jin Xiaoyu was a little stunned, opened his mouth, but was speechless.

Li Zixuan picked up a brush to record, while Lao Peng and the guards stood behind him.

Started asking, "How old are you?"

"...eighteen."

"Where do you live?"

"I was sold to a rich family since I was a child, then I was sold as a coolie, and then I was sold into a kiln, so I have no home."

Li Zixuan paused for a moment, then raised his head full of pity, "Oh, so pitiful, do you still have family?"

"there is none left..."

"Oh, is the plum blossom on your forehead printed or a birthmark?"

"...Birthmark." Jin Xiaoyu replied helplessly.

Lao Peng, who was standing aside, felt that something was wrong the more he listened to the conversation, wasn't he interrogating?How did it become a plum blossom mark on the forehead to discuss family affairs!

"Wow, it's the first time I've seen a birthmark so beautiful, it looks like a plum blossom."

Lao Peng couldn't stand it any longer, and reminded, "Little prince, don't you want to interrogate?"

"Oh, yes!" Li Zixuan cleared his throat, "Jin Xiaoyu, let me ask you, are you the one who has caused trouble and murdered people in my palace these days?"

Jin Xiaoyu denied it outright, "No!"

"Then why are you pretending to be a fox in the middle of the night?"

Jin Xiaoyu's body froze for a moment, his face was full of embarrassment, but he didn't say anything.

"Is it really?"

"no!"

"Then why are you..."

Lao Peng couldn't help interrupting Li Zixuan's words. According to their way of questioning, even when it was dark, they couldn't find out what was going on. "My lord, I don't think he can say anything. Why don't you use punishment."

"Punishment?!" Li Zixuan's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Jin Xiaoyu pityingly, "You still tell me, do you have any accomplices? You have only been here for a few days, so you probably don't know much about our palace, is there something? Someone ordered you to do this?"

Jin Xiaoyu still lowered his head and didn't make a sound.

"Little prince, otherwise, you can go out and wait for the old slave to come, and you can come in later."

Li Zixuan looked at Jin Xiaoyu, saw that he didn't intend to speak out, and remembered that he had promised the emperor that he would find the real culprit, so he sighed and walked out of the dungeon.

Standing at the door of the dungeon, Li Zixuan walked back and forth restlessly.

"Ah!!" Suddenly there were screams from the dungeon.

Li Zixuan's forehead was sweating, Lao Peng is now the chief of the palace, when he was young, he was said to be the head of the sky prison, and the methods of abuse there are also top-notch. . .

In my mind, when I thought of saving him on the street, I felt so entangled.

"Ah!" The screams continued to come from the dungeon, and the hearts of those who listened kept trembling.

Li Zixuan couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and ran into the dungeon, only to see Jin Xiaoyu laying on the ground, two guards were holding his shoulders, and the other was hitting him down with a wooden stick in his forehand.

And Jin Xiaoyu's pants were untied, unloaded to the buttocks, revealing white and tender flesh, let the wooden stick hit the flesh, it was bloody and bloody in an instant, and Jin Xiaoyu fainted from side pain.

Li Zixuan hurriedly shouted, "Stop!"

Lao Peng turned his head, "Little prince? What's the matter?"

"I don't think it should be him."

"Ah? Why?"

"Because he said it wasn't him."

Lao Peng almost lost his temper, just because people said no, you believed it?

Li Zixuan stepped forward, looked at the wound on his body, frowned slightly, and said to the guard standing beside him, "You, give it back to you, lift him up and carry him to my room, move gently, don't hurt him .”

"Little prince..." Lao Peng hurriedly stopped the call.

Li Zixuan pressed his shoulders, and said earnestly, "Old Peng, do you know that the one with the plum blossom mark on his forehead is a good person, and I believe him."

"Uh..." What's the point?The corners of Lao Peng's mouth kept twitching upwards.

"Pick it up, take it easy..."

"Yes, my lord."

Just as Li Zixuan was about to leave, when he remembered something, he turned to Lao Peng and said, "By the way, go and call the imperial doctor. Look at your method, you want to kill him, alas..."

"Ah... yes." Lao Peng replied helplessly, so he had no choice but to invite the imperial doctor.

The guard put Jin Xiaoyu on the bed and left. Li Zixuan sat on the edge of the bed and saw that his handsome face was almost wrinkled together due to the pain, and his beautiful brows were tightly knit together. His eyebrows are smoothed.

"Little prince..." the imperial doctor came and called softly behind him.

"Oh, it's coming? Come and help him see."

"Yes."

After the imperial doctor gave Jin Xiaoyu the good medicine, and told him what he should pay attention to, he also left.

At noon that day, Xiaodong and Bai Ling received the news that Li Zixuan had rescued Jin Xiaoyu, and hurried over. Xiaodong asked dissatisfiedly, "Why did you save him? What if it's the murderer?"

Li Zixuan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, this way, we have a reason to stay by his side and watch him. If something happens to him tonight, then it must not be him, and someone else is the murderer."

Looking at that confident smiling face, he knew that Li Zixuan must be certain now, otherwise, with his fearful personality, how could he carry Jin Xiaoyu back to his room.

Chapter List Chapter 47 Who is the real culprit

So, the four of them looked at the person on the bed in the room.

Jin Xiaoyu was still in a coma and showed no signs of waking up.

Li Zixuan moved a chair, sat on the edge of the bed, propped his face, stared at the person on the bed, and said to Lao Peng, "You ask people to strengthen patrols, and tell every guard to be more cautious."

"Yes, my lord." After Lao Peng finished speaking, he withdrew.

Bai Ling and Xiaodong stood behind Li Zixuan. Xiaodong stood and felt tired, so she found a chair and sat down to rest, while Bai Ling stared at Jin Xiaoyu and Li Zixuan without saying a word, holding hands Put on the handle of the long sword at his waist, he is on high alert.

No one in the room made a sound, and everyone went about their business quietly.

Suddenly, Lao Peng hurried in from the door and shouted,

"Little Prince!! Something is wrong!!"

Li Zixuan stared at Jin Xiaoyu, stared at him and then fell asleep. Lao Peng rushed in suddenly, was awakened suddenly, and jumped up instantly, "Why, what's the matter?"

"Little prince, just now, just now, in the backyard, I found another guard died!"

"Ah! Take me there!"

Li Zixuan went out, told Xiaodong to look at Jin Xiaoyu, and hurried over with Bai Ling.

"My lord! Slow down!"

"What's going on! Could it be that there is really a murderer hiding in my palace, so Jin Xiaoyu is not the murderer? Really, it's his fault."

"My lord, it's better to kill the wrong than to let him go. If he is really the murderer and you let him go, the consequences will be troublesome."

"I know, but..."

The two rushed over in a hurry, arguing on the way.

Bai Ling kept a straight face and followed closely behind without saying a word.

Feeling the backyard, I saw a man lying beside a lotus pond.

Li Zixuan squatted down, reached out and moved his head away, exposing his neck, "Sure enough, there is also a hairpin here, it seems that the person was stabbed to death by the hairpin again."

"Well... Indeed, it's the same injury as before."

Li Zixuan carefully observed the man's clothes, "Also, his clothes are very messy, as if they have been rummaged through."

"Hmm... Indeed..."

"Old Peng, where's the previous corpse?"

"Oh, let the family members come and take them back."

Li Zixuan considered it for a while, then slowly said, "Oh, forget it, carry him to the backyard room, let's study it carefully."

"Yes, my lord."

Li Zixuan stood up, only to find that there was a puddle of water on the edge of the lotus pond, and stopped all the way to the dead guard.

"Strange, is there a beach?"

"what?"

Li Zixuan hurriedly stepped forward, and when he reached the lotus pond, he was startled for a moment, as if he had thought of something, he quickly asked, "The lotus pond, where does the water channel below lead to?"

Lao Peng looked embarrassed, and said, "Well, since the palace has been built for a long time, this old slave doesn't know where the waterway leads to."

"Water channel?" Li Zixuan rubbed his nose, thinking.

"My lord, what did you think of?"

Li Zixuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, and with the night wind raising his layers of clothes and long hair, he nodded slightly, full of indescribable confidence, "If I guess correctly, tomorrow night, we will hide behind the flowers and watch This lotus pond must be able to guard something."

Everyone was surprised.

Lotus Pond?

Lao Peng's eyes were full of tears, and he just took a small handkerchief and wiped away his tears, "Little prince, you have finally grown up..."
