Chapter 781
"Ling'er, do you understand what this king means?" Bei Mingyuan pursed his lips tightly and looked up at Mu Ling and said.

"I can dodge..." Mu Ling looked at Bei Mingyuan and wanted to explain something, but when he saw Bei Mingyuan's eyes looking at him, he suddenly couldn't say anything, and looked at Bei Mingyuan aggrieved He blinked his eyes.

"Okay...it won't happen next time..." Mu Ling silently sat down beside Bei Mingyuan, blinked at Bei Mingyuan and said, "Then you can't take such an adventure like today again next time, you know?" ?”

"..." Bei Mingyuan was silent for a while, and raised his eyes to see Mu Ling's extremely serious eyes, which still vaguely showed determination and stubbornness.

"...Okay." Bei Mingyuan nodded in response.

"Master, I have checked everything, and there is no trace left, and I have checked all the ambush places." Xu Qing stood respectfully in front of Bei Mingyuan and Mu Ling and said respectfully.

"Hmm." Bei Mingyuan seemed not to be surprised at all, and narrowed his eyes condensedly.

"Don't worry, Xu Qing, go and move those corpses together and take off all your clothes." Mu Ling stood up and said casually, Xu Qing was stunned instantly when he heard Mu Ling's words, with a shocked expression on his face He looked at Mu Ling.

This... people are dead, is it not good to be naked?
Xu Qing silently glanced at Bei Mingyuan beside him, Bei Mingyuan was calm, but slightly turned his eyes to look at Mu Ling.

"Clues are not necessarily revealed." Mu Ling said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

"Go." Bei Mingyuan's face froze slightly when he heard Mu Ling's words, and raised his chin slightly towards Xu Qing.

"Yes." Xu Qing quickly agreed.

According to what Mu Ling said, Xu Qing put the corpses of all the bandits together, and took off his coat. There was no difference when he was wearing clothes, but he found clues when he took off his clothes. Some had burn scars on their chests.

"Master, the locations of these burns are all the same." Xu Qing raised his finger slightly and pointed at the five or six corpses lined up on the ground and said.

"My lord, I know the location of these burns. There are two kinds of people, one is a slave, and the other is a prisoner who committed a felony and was branded and exiled." Qiu Jinyun walked around the corpse , checked carefully and said: "These people are obviously trying to cover up some traces."

"It's easy to look at it this way. Master Qiu just needs to check to see if there are any slaves missing in Yuxi, or the exiled prisoners are missing. Maybe you can find clues." Mu Ling was silent for a moment and said: "From these few days Judging from the whip marks on people, slaves can almost be denied.”

"Why did the princess say that?" Qiu Jinyun looked at Mu Ling in surprise and asked.

"Lord Qiu, take a closer look. The welts on their bodies are obviously new, not old wounds from years of beating." Mu Ling knelt down and pointed to the welts on one of the corpses and said, "Slaves have always been He has been whipped all year round, and there will definitely be many deep and shallow whip marks on his body."

"The prisoner is different. The whip marks on his body must be very deep, because most of the whip marks came from the forced confession, just like the whip marks on these corpses." Mu Ling slowly retracted his hand and looked at Qiu Jinyun and the others Said.

"The concubine is really smart, I admire you!" Qiu Jinyun looked at Mu Ling in shock, and the eyes that looked at Mu Ling were full of amazement.
