"Third Miss Mu, do you have anything else to say?"

After a long time, Chen Pu sighed as he looked towards Mu Yunjin, waiting for her words.

This farce should come to an end!

At the side, Mu Xiang's eyes became red, he is shocked, he could not have thought that Mu Yunjin would actually be that heartless as to order a kill. She and that person are totally different......

......

Mu Yunjin got up, she snorted as she approached the middle aged man, stopping a step away. She glanced at the Jasper hairpin.

"You said I hired you to kill? Very well, How did I hire you? Where and when did we transact the business deal?"

Mu Yunjin's words held no fear, both her hands at her back as she stood proudly in the middle of the interrogation room.

"Last night at Xu shi (between 7 - 9 pm) you told your servant girl to let me in the Xiang Fu's back door to go to Ascending Flower Pavilion. Afterwards, you gave me the Jasper hairpin as initial payment to kill the second young master Mu."

Hearing what was said, Mu Yunjin crossed her arms and walk to the side. With no trace of politeness, she pulled a pearl hairpin from Su Biqing's hair bun and weighed it on her hand. 

"I now have my mother's Pearl hairpin in my hand. Can I also say that my mother ordered me to kill Mu Yiyang?"

Mu Yunjin's words are like thunderbolts that bombarded the whole room. In many people's ears, Mu Yunjin is just making trouble without reason. Now, Chu Qingyuan, who was silent because she is feeling suppressed by Chu Qingqiang, suddenly felt indignant as she looked at Minister Chen Pu. 

"Little old man, do you remember that day, me and Yunjin jiejie came to you to destroy a case record? I remember that this case is about the Mu family. Do you still have a back up?"

Chu Qingyuan mentioned. Listening to Chu Qingyuan's words, Su Biqing and Mu Lingzhu stiffened and became a little frantic. They burned the case file themselves, could there still be a copy?

"Qingyuan, what case record?"

Hearing Chu Qingyuan speak, Chu Qingqiang is displeased as she looked towards Chu Qingyuan. 

Chu Qingyuan leaned her head and thought for a moment before asking Chen Pu.

"Little old man, what case was that?"

Chen Pu paused and awkwardly looked towards Mu Xiang. 

"It is regarding an incident within the Mu family, that has to do with poison."

"Chen daren, didn't you tell me that this matter is beyond you capability so they ended the case? What about this case?"

Mu Xiang frowned, displeased. 

"Apparently, Mu Xiang's home is truly in chaos ah."

Zheng Tai hou slightly sighed. 

"Since it is like this, Chen daren you should present that case here."

Su Biqing knows that Zheng Tai hou is not aware of the circumstances therefore she felt anxious.

"The poison case incident is another matter that should be discussed in another time. Yiyang's matter should not be delayed. Yiyang's bones are not yet cold,  we should seek justice for Yiyang first."

"Mother's right, Zhu'er also received injustice, asking Chen daren to soon give justice for Zhu'er."

Mu Lingzhu timely seconded with a delicate tone.

Seeing that the subject is diverted back, everyone's thought is again gathered towards Mu Yunjin. Just as Mu Yunjin wished to speak, a cold voice sounded, accompanied by a somber tone.

"Last night at Xu shi (7-9 pm) Mu Yunjin is with this prince and is not in the Xiang fu."

Chu Li's pair of eyes are cold and detached, as he indifferently uttered the words.

Everyone who heard were surprised, they all looked at Chu Li. In their hearts they know that Chu Li is lying, but at the same time they cannot expose it. Chu Li is obviously protecting Mu Yunjin. 

Mu Yunjin is also surprised at Chu Li. She took a quick look and frowned. Is Chu Li afraid that she is guilty?

When the middle aged man heard Chu Li, he felt a little panicked. He immediately howled in grief. 

"Third Miss, you don't want to admit ah! I can however, bet on my life. How can you fall out and be hostile...."

The words were just heard when suddenly a cold light flashed. Mu Yunhan has drawn his double edged sword and had put it near the middle aged man's neck.

"Speak, in the end, who ordered you to frame Yunjin?"

"Brother Yunhan, do you want to extort a confession?"

Chu Ye said in a ruminating tone. When Mu Yunhan heard him, he laughed with disdain.

"Some people will not shed a tear unless he sees his coffin. I, Mu Yunhan saw Mu Yunjin grow up, her character, I understand clearly."

"Today, I, Mu Yunhan will use my life to vouch for Mu Yunjin. If she is truly the murderer, then I will be convicted alongside her!"

"Yunhan, why should you? You just came back from your campaign, she is no longer the Yunjin you know."

Su Biqing mourned, she looked at Mu Yunjin, this fox, don't know what potion she poured to bewitch and charm her own son!

Mu Yunjin had always felt isolated and without help, now, feeling Chu Li and Mu Yunhan stand by her and help her. She felt that dying will be worth it....

Dismissing her thoughts, Mu Yunjin herself is frightened, she secretly scolded herself. She sighed and massaged her forehead. Soon she drooped down her eyes and she seems to have used up her patience. She lifted her foot and kicked the middle aged man to the ground.

"Hurry up and tell the truth, if not, then I, your father will not be able to save you!"

Mu Yunjin roared towards the middle aged man. The middle aged man endured Mu Yunjin's kick. He laid on the ground, after a moment he felt several of his bones were broken.

"Mu Yunjin! This is the Justice Office, you should not be  impudent. Since Li'er said that you were with him last night at Xu shi (7-9 pm) then explain why the Jasper hairpin is in his hands."

Zheng Tai hou's stern voice sounded. Today's matter, Su Biqing has already ordered someone to inform her, so she gladly agreed to participate. Afterall, this matter is related to Mu Yunjin. Behind Mu Yunjin is Qin Tai fei and Chu Li. If this matter destroys Mu Yunjin then Chu Li and Qin Tai fei will also fall. Just thinking about it made her feel carefree!

Hearing Zheng Tai hou, Mu Yunjin blinked her eyes. 

"Tai hou niang niang, if you one day you want to hire an assassin, will you give your own personal belonging that will let others use against you?"

"The Jasper hairpin is Qin Tai fei's gift to me. The late emperor also once bestowed it to Qin Tai fei. It has a respectable and incomparable meaning, and it's value cannot be compared to monetary value."

"Although I, Mu Yunjin is not good in scholarly knowledge and is not extremely intelligent. But this basic matters I still clearly understand."

When Qin Tai fei heard her, she finally relaxed and nodded her head. Her heart immediately felt comforted.

......

The situation is again reversed, this time it is Mu Yunjin's turn to threaten the middle aged man.

"You will not only bear the crime of instigating a murder, you deliberately framed me by a stolen item. Not only will you be cut in half, those who are related to you up to the ninth degree will also be implicated..."

The middle aged man suddenly found himself feeling that this matter is a big mistake. No matter what, his end is unlikely to be good, just as what Mu Yunjin said, this matter will implicate his family. Mu yunjin, once more opened his mouth to talk.

"I just recently learned some words, it is called 'heartless injustice'."

"Now, let me demonstrate one time, this so-called heartless injustice."

Mu yunjin then looked towards Su Biqing and Mu Lingzhu. Eyes filled with chilliness made Su Biqing and Mu Lingzhu suddenly feel uneasy. 

"Chen daren, since the murder and poison incident before was not concluded, the result of your investigation during those incidents, it would be better to announce it now and let my father listen."

Mu Yunjin said. Chen Pu finally sighed, he waved his hand to an old gentleman at the side.

"Go and bring me the case record."

After a moment, the case record was brought by the old gentleman. Chen Pu laid out the record and flipped through the pages afterwards he frowned finding it hard to speak.

Mu Xiang saw Chen Pu's expression, his heart felt a bad premonition but he endured. He spoke softly.

"Chen daren please speak."

Chen Pu nodded.

"That day, in Mu Xiang Fu, within fourth miss Mu's courtyard, first thing in the morning a corpse was discovered and a double edged blade dagger pierced through his nape. He was killed on the spot. In third Miss Mu's courtyard, it was covered with a potent poison. Big Madam's cat mistakenly consumed this poison and died at the courtyard."

After simply saying the whole story, Chen Pu licked his lips, a little nervous. He continued to relay one by one.

"Afterwards, Coroner Ming and the doctor jointly studied the poisonous substance known as Hundred Immortal Loss. It is a type of medicine that can turn the whole body purple, and fester the internal organs. Because the poison is very potent that is why it is called Hundred Immortal Loss."

"Later, I secretly investigated all the pharmacies and medical halls within Butterfly Flower City. Then I was told that a mama from the Mu Xiang fu purchased ingredients for Hundred Immortal Loss."

Hearing this, Aunt Li who is silently standing behind Su Biqing suddenly trembled and a layer of cold sweat formed on her forehead. Her leg became soft, fortunately she was able to put her hand in a chair for support.

Chen Pu continued to read. 

"About the black clothed dead person, I secretly offered a reward announcement to whomever could reveal the identity. He was called Cao Pan and he lived outside the City, he is the local ruffian."

"Soon after, based on the clues, we went outside the city to Cao Pan's house. We discovered that it was actually very luxurious. Furthermore we were able to interrogate his fellows there, they provided a money receipt."

"The receipt was made within the city walls, after we found where it was from, the Boss of that place offered us all of Cao Pan's transaction record. We discovered that all the silvers were from the Xiang fu."

"Afterwards we interrogated Cao Pan's fellow brothers, they all admitted that the night before Cao Pan's death, Fourth Miss Mu ordered him to enter the city to do something."

"The matter is exactly like this."

After Chen Pu's words, Su Biqing and Mu Lingzhu is deathly pale. They did not expect that this information was already divulged and in another's hand.

"According to you, this poison case is Big Madam Mu and Fourth Miss Mu's doing? Then why did Qingyuan say that she went with Mu Yunjin to destroy it?"

Princess Chu Qingqiang asked.

Mu Yunjin gave a grievous look as she replied.

"Mother secretly detained my nursemaid Aunt Zhang and threatened me that if I don't help her with this matter she will let Aunt Zhang be buried next as a dead person."

"Therefore I seeked the Sixth Prince and Ninth Princess..."
