Chapter 446: Mu Wang's Mansion

In this way, this judge may really be related to the eighteen judges of the underworld. www.biquge.info The Dragon King frowned slightly, he didn't know what he thought, and his expression was quite complicated.

"I hope it's just a name, if it's really the underworld that comes out again, I'm afraid there will be no peace in the future." The shopkeeper was also worried. There is no way, although I have not personally experienced the horror of the underworld, but even if it is just a few short written records, it has already demonized the underworld too much.

And such a terrible killer organization, once famous in the rivers and lakes, no one dared to show its edge, but in the end it faded out of the martial arts, and few people in later generations knew about it, this alone is enough to make people feel that this underworld is not simple, otherwise why would it make the world avoid talking about it.

"However, the judge chose to kidnap this child at this time, is it really an accident? Could he also be here for this martial arts conference? One of them asked.

"It's also possible. What I'm really worried about is if this judge has something to do with the demon cult's boss? If this judge is really one of the eighteen judges in the underworld, with the nature of the underworld, if he joins forces with the Demon Sect...... "Although the Dragon King admires the assassin of the underworld who stabbed the emperor into a serious injury a hundred years ago, it was a hundred years ago after all. A hundred years is enough to make things and people not vicissitudes change, the old people may have all died, and no one knows what kind of mind and style these new people have.

And the timing of the judge's appearance is so delicate, it happened to be in time for the martial arts conference to be held, and he deliberately appeared in front of so many martial arts colleagues, almost showing off his freedom to come and go, and leaving a thunderous name, is this really just a coincidence?

"What is the top priority? In front of so many of us, let him snatch the child and quickly escape, but he couldn't stop it at all, if it was passed out, wouldn't the old face be lost? The elder of King Mu's Mansion had a gloomy face. Unlike the Dragon King, the Dragon King and the others were at least in the inn at that time, and there were people coming and going outside, and no one would pay attention to what an inconspicuous person was doing. However, he was different, he was just outside the door at that time, watching the judge wound the woman, snatch the child and leave arrogantly, and he, even the reaction time was half a beat slower, and if he wanted to chase again, he couldn't even see the shadow of the other party.

If this is said, it will definitely laugh off the big teeth of the same people in the rivers and lakes. Because he is the elder of Mu Wangfu, he actually let a hairy boy come and go in front of him, and he has no choice.

"Can Mu Lao see the judge's appearance clearly?" The Dragon King suddenly thought that Mu Lao was outside the door at that time, and he should have seen the figure of the judge with his own eyes, so he asked.

"No, I didn't." Mu Lao shook his head helplessly, and said: "That person is dressed like an ordinary person, and he also suddenly snatched the child, and then quickly ran away, the old man only had time to see his back clearly, only knew that this person was a young man, and he looked like he was in his twenties." It's a man. The rest ......"

Mu Lao's face was ashamed.

The young man, but he was able to take the child away under Mu Lao's nose, and leave calmly, and he could still carve that line of small characters unconsciously, it seems that his martial arts are by no means weaker than Mu Lao. Are today's young people so scary? As he spoke, the Dragon King's gaze fell on Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici.

Mu Lao was also embarrassed, he didn't think it before, but today he felt that he was really old.

Fang Xiaoyu looked at the exchange between the Dragon King and Mu Lao with some strange feelings. I can't complain that she feels strange, because this Mu Lao is one of the seven elders of Mu Wangfu, and Mu Wangfu, just by hearing the name, you know that it is a force that belongs to the imperial court.

The lord of King Mu's mansion is King Mu, the current prince, the grandson of the old emperor, because King Mu's Laozi died early, so as the eldest son, Xiao Jing inherited his Laozi's position as King Mu.

Although he is the grandson of the emperor, he has no interest in the throne, in fact, he has no thoughts about the throne at all, but he wants to mix in the rivers and lakes and be a hero respected by everyone.

However, there are too many walks on the beach, wet shoes are inevitable, and the unladylike old Mu Wang hangs on the sinister hearts of people, and his death is unknown, and he can't even find out who the murderer is. And King Mu also has two sons, Xiao Jing and Xiao Jin, Xiao Jing is the eldest son, and Xiao Jin is the second son, but the personalities of the two are almost two extremes.

The eldest son, Xiao Jing, like his father, is not interested in everything in the court, but likes to walk the rivers and lakes and make friends. Xiao Jin, the second son, is a careerist, and has some ambition for the throne, even if he competes with his elder Yunwang Mengwang, he is not afraid at all.

Later, the second son Xiao went out of the mansion and opened another mansion, and he was very pleasing to the old emperor, but his ability and background were not enough compared to King Yun and King Meng, who had been fighting for the throne for decades, but the old emperor seemed to be interested in supporting, so he could also compete with the two old princes.

And Mu Wangfu was inherited by Xiao Jing, the eldest son of the concubine. He did not participate in the affairs of the court, let alone get involved in the battle for succession, but inherited his Lao Tzu's connections in the rivers and lakes, and he was very prosperous. The status of Mu Wangfu in the rivers and lakes should not be underestimated.

Even if Xiao Jing does not participate in the affairs of the imperial court, it is an indisputable fact that Xiao Jing is the prince and grandson, and it is undeniable that he has the conditions to win the heir.

With the Dragon King's hatred of the imperial court, even if he is not a member of the Great Zhou court, it is difficult for him to have a good face, but just look at Li Xiulin. Although Red Sleeve City is a power of the imperial court, after all, it is the power of the Great Moon Imperial Court, and it is not only irrelevant to the Great Zhou, but it is still antagonistic at the moment, but because of the position of the imperial court forces, the first meeting between the Dragon King and Li Xiulin was tense.

But looking at the Dragon King's attitude towards this Mu Lao, he was very gentle, which really made Fang Xiaoyu feel a little strange.

The shopkeeper seemed to see Fang Xiaoyu's doubts, and whispered to her while everyone was discussing the young judge: "This master is one of the seven elders of Mu Wangfu, surnamed Mu, called Mu Yang, and he is the master of Xiao Jing, the owner of Mu Wangfu, when he was young. It's just that the old King Mu was killed later, but the murderer couldn't be found, so his eldest son Xiao Jing inherited the throne of King Mu and was also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes. And the seven elders are all contacts left by the old Mu King, and they did not leave after the death of the old Mu King, but assisted the new Mu King to consolidate the status of the Mu Wangfu in the rivers and lakes. ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded, she also knew something about Mu Wangfu. If she wants to come to Da Zhou, she naturally wants to investigate the forces in the rivers and lakes of Da Zhou, but some things have not been circulated in the community, so she only knows a little about it. But this shopkeeper doesn't seem to be simple, maybe he has opened an inn in this prosperous Lucheng for more than 20 years, and the news he heard is no less than those intelligence organizations, but looking at his understanding of Dazhou and the surrounding countries, he is by no means a simple innkeeper.

"When the old King Mu was still alive, he had a kindness to the Dragon King, and after the Dragon King's fiancée was ruined by the prince of the dragon, the dragon king offended the court by killing the prince, and it was the Mu Wangfu who helped him escape the court's plot all the way." The shopkeeper continued.

"Oh?" Fang Xiaoyu frowned. Does this old Mu King really want to help the Dragon King or does he have another purpose? After all, the prince who was killed by the Dragon King at that time was still his brother strictly speaking, and the person who killed his brother escaped, and Lao Mu Wang also took a great risk. Think about what the old emperor would think once he knew that his son had helped the murderer of another son escape? Will he sprinkle his anger on Mu Wangfu's body in a fit of anger?

He has his own family business, his own family background, a wife, and a son, so why should he take the risk of helping someone who has little to do with him?

"Speaking of this old Mu Wang, that is a good old man. Although he was born in the royal family, he did not have the arrogance of the nobles, and he was not interested in the affairs of the court, and he wanted to make a name for himself in the rivers and lakes. The old emperor also knew that he was interested, and he simply had many sons and daughters, and he didn't bother to control such waste. In the eyes of the old emperor, everything that could not expand the territory for him was waste, so the old Mu Wang almost faded out of the old emperor's sight, and only the name of a prince was not cut off, but it was no longer liked by the old emperor. Lao Mu Wang has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for many years, and the old emperor almost never listens to it. Even if the old King Mu died, the old emperor only symbolized that he sent someone to check it at will, and if he didn't find anything, it would be gone. ”

"And Lao Mu Wang is a character with a full sense of justice, so he is so uneven, but he has won the reputation of a beautiful gentleman in the rivers and lakes." The shopkeeper continued.

"After the prince killed the dragon king's fiancée, the dragon king was furious and said that he must take his life to comfort the spirit of his unmarried wife in the sky, and the king of Mu advised the dragon king to be careful and avoid being plotted. Lao Mu Wang was heartbroken for doing such a evil thing to his brother, although the Dragon King hated the people of the court because of this, and also angered Lao Mu Wang, but when the Dragon King was almost cornered, he still came to the rescue. Therefore, although the Dragon King hated the imperial court, and even hated everyone in the imperial court's forces, Mu Wangfu was an exception. The Dragon King also knows how to be grateful, so he has always treated the elders of Mu Wangfu with courtesy and regarded himself as a junior. And after the eldest son of the old King Mu inherited the throne of King Mu, the reason why he went all the way smoothly in the rivers and lakes was also the result of the Dragon King's dredging. It can be said that Mu Wangfu really rose in the rivers and lakes, except for Mu Wang Xiao Jing also has some ability, most of them are based on the Dragon King's gratitude to Mu Wangfu. "The shopkeeper appreciates the dragon king's clear attitude of love and hate, although there are also incidents that anger all the people in the court, but at least he is not ungrateful, and he has been repaying the favor with practical actions for the kindness of the old Mu king.

However, although the Dragon King likes Xiao Jing very much, he doesn't like Xiao Jin, the second son of King Mu. This Xiao Jin is too ambitious, and he also looks down on his eldest brother Xiao Jing who is mingling in the rivers and lakes. The relationship between the brothers has not been very harmonious.

However, precisely because there is not much intersection and the conflict of interest is not on the same plane, it has never torn your face to death.

Xiao Jin took the initiative to give up the possibility of inheriting the throne of King Mu, went out alone to reopen the mansion, and changed his tricks to please the old emperor, who seemed to be reused by the old emperor, but in fact, he has always been regarded as a thorn in the flesh by King Yun and King Meng. On the contrary, Xiao Jing did not have any obstacles to the two, so no matter how prosperous he was in the rivers and lakes, he could not arouse the interest of King Yun and King Meng at all.

However, I heard that Xiao Jin, the Frost King, was very interested in Xiao Jing. is also a prince who does not do his job and does not like to fight for power and profit, and it is not difficult to understand that he has a common language.

"How did Old King Mu die?" Fang Xiaoyu asked curiously.

"I don't know." The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "One day, I was carried to the door of King Mu's mansion, and when the elders heard the news and returned, they were already lacking in skills. The strange thing is that Lao Mu Wang did not have any external injuries on his body, except for the two needle holes in his neck, the doctor could not find out where the fatal injuries were. Later, Xiao Jing, the eldest son of King Mu, found that a short needle as thin as a cow's hair was inserted behind King Mu's ear. The tail of the short needle pierced into the skin and was covered by the hair, so the doctor could not detect it. But who attacked Lao Mu and why he had to kill him, until now, no one knows. ”

Behind-the-ear pins? Two stitch marks on the neck?

Fang Xiaoyu's brows furrowed tightly.

I don't think I've heard of this way of dying somewhere.

But for a moment I couldn't remember where I had heard of this kind of death.

"Are there any signs of poisoning?" Fang Xiaoyu asked.

"Nope. The whole body was intact, there was no damage in the body, and there were no traces of poison, except for the needles behind the ears, the two needle marks on the neck were not fatal injuries. Even the short needle behind the ear that sank into the skin was not the reason for the real killing of Lao Mu Wang. It can be said that the cause of Lao Muwang's death is still a mystery. And Mu Wang Xiao Jing has always wanted to find out the cause of his father's death, and once offered a reward to the rivers and lakes, if anyone can know the cause of the death of the old Mu Wang, or know who is the murderer, even if it is just a clue, there is a reward, you can choose any two things in the treasure house of Mu Wangfu and take it away, no matter what it is. And the Dragon King also agreed to King Mu's bounty, and also added two excellent medicinal herbs as a note, but unfortunately there is no definite news until now. The shopkeeper shook his head. He was actually very greedy for the bounties of King Mu and the Dragon King, but unfortunately he really had no clue about the cause of the death of King Mu.

Where have you heard of this cause of death?

Fang Xiaoyu frowned, thinking about it, but he couldn't think of it. She really had a very familiar feeling when she heard the cause of Lao Muwang's death, but she couldn't remember where this feeling came from for a while. (To be continued.) )
