Chapter Thirty-Eight: Finding Clues

Early the next morning, as soon as the day dawned, Mo Ran got up, pretending to go out to inquire about the news of Hongfu, and changed the bad habit of lying in bed in the past, which surprised Fusang.

"Yo, when did the lazy girl become so diligent?" Fusang yawned as he stood at the door of Mo Ran's room.

Mo Ran continued to stick his beard on his face, "Shibei three days, you should be impressed." ”

This time she came out to find a way back, but for some reason, after knowing about Mo Ran's mother, she was determined to find out the truth, obviously it was none of her business, but there was a voice in her heart that forced her forward.

"Don't post it, it's too ugly, I'll make one for you. As he spoke, Fusang raised his finger, and quietly turned Mo Ran into a black and ugly fat boy, and now he couldn't see the slightest trace of the original Mo Ran.

Mo Ran looked in the mirror and shouted: "This is ugly! You change me back, hurry up!" only to find that her voice also changed to a rough male voice, and she was so shocked that she hurriedly covered her mouth.

Fusang smiled: "In this way, no one can find out, what's wrong, I really don't know good people's hearts." ”

Bai Ze heard the movement, and when he went out and saw Mo Ran's current appearance, he couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, you guys!" Mo Ran was angry.

Bai Ze comforted: "This will indeed be safer, even I can't see it." ”

Mo Ran didn't care if it looked good or not at this time, so he had to give up, "Forget it, let's leave it at that." ”

The three of them went out together and sat down in a restaurant near the Hongfu Mansion.

Fusang beckoned and motioned for Xiao Er to come over, "Bring me a pot of wine, you have the most expensive here." After speaking, a gold ingot quietly turned out of his hand and handed it to the shopkeeper.

Xiao Er may not have seen such a handsome young master for a long time, his eyes lit up, and he flattered: "Okay, okay, guest officer, wait a minute, come right away." ”

Mo Ran remembered Fusang's trick that day, and said hatefully: "Didn't you say that you don't have money for such a mundane thing?"

"If you want to find out the news, how can you not pull out a dime, it is not for you that this Divine Monarch will touch these mundane things," Fusang leaned into Mo Ran's ear and whispered: "I made it with a stone, it's fake." ”

"That'...... Won't it be exposed?" Mo Ran was shocked, if he was discovered, wouldn't he be at risk of eating the overlord's meal and being dragged to the police for conviction.

Fusang said confidently: "It's okay to hold on until we leave." ”

Saying that, the wine had already been brought up by Xiao Er, Fusang took the wine and poured a glass, tasted it, and was content, "After all, I'm not a deity, I can't really turn stones into gold, don't ask too much of me." ”

Mo Ran didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said to Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, I will inquire about something with you." Have there been any strange things happening around here lately, like demons doing something or something?"

Because the money given by Fusang was enough before, Xiao Er didn't hide it, and said happily: "A few are Taoists who cultivate immortals, right? ”

As he spoke, Xiao Er pointed to the Hongfu Mansion diagonally opposite, "Hong Yuanwai is a well-known rich man in our Qiongzhou City, and there is an endless stream of dignitaries and dignitaries who come and go on weekdays, but I didn't expect that three months ago, I would die overnight, which is really embarrassing." ”

"Then do you know what the reason is?" Mo Ran couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that he had a clue so easily, and then felt that this attitude would be suspicious, so he explained: "We are Huashan monks, and we are here to explore the demonic qi. ”

The shopkeeper Erqi said: "You are also a Huashan monk, haven't you people from Huashan come to Hongfu a long time ago?"

Bai Ze helped Mo Ran with a sloppy eye, and said: "Our Huashan is divided into five peaks, and the disciples of the five peaks have their own cultivation experience, we are from Furong Peak, and the disciples you saw last time should be the disciples of Luoyan Peak." ”

The shopkeeper was not suspicious, and the affairs of the Immortal Cultivation Sect were not something that an ordinary person like him could understand, so he didn't ask more.

Bai Ze asked, "Then last time the Huashan monk also came here because he discovered the demonic qi, or did the Hongfu send someone to invite him?"

Huashan is far away from Qiongzhou City, it stands to reason that Huashan monks will not go thousands of miles away to get rid of demons, first, the way back and forth is far away, and secondly, Qiongzhou City is guarded by Xiuxianmen.

The closest sect to Qiongzhou City is Dongshanling, this sect practices earth magic, but the number of sects is small, and it is not famous among the immortals.

"The monks of Dongshanling came, at that time Hongfu had not been destroyed, more than a dozen people came, but they left in a hurry after less than a day, as soon as they left, the Hongfu people were killed that night, and when the monks of Huashan came, they were already dead. The shopkeeper shuddered, "It's terrible, I heard that it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who did it, you said these demons, they were so cruel in their teens, tsk." ”

Mo Ran thought for a while, and said silently: "It seems that after the monks of Dongshan Ridge came, they thought that they couldn't deal with this murderer, so they ...... "The demons who can use the Shura spell, ordinary monks don't dare to confront them head-on."

"Then have you heard the news that there are concubines in the Hong Mansion?" Mo Ran continued to ask.

The shopkeeper said: "Concubines, the grandfather of the Hong family has seven or eight concubines, which one are you talking about?"

Now Mo Ran made a difficulty, she left her mother since she was born, and I don't know what she looks like, even her name is still heard in Jiuli.

However, according to the date she saw on the deed of sale, just before the Chinese New Year last year, "It is the past one or two years, it stands to reason that this kind of high-ranking family should be very extravagant to do happy events, do you have any impression?"

"It's not surprising that it's extravagant, but it's not extravagant. The shopkeeper thought for a long time and remembered, "Just last winter, in previous years, Hongfu would have a big banquet for happy events, but she didn't take that woman into the door, and she still secretly entered through the back door." I have a small hair to deliver firewood to the door of the Hongfu, and I happened to meet at the back door that day, and two or three men dragged a woman who was tied up and wearing a wedding dress inside. ”

Mo Ran groaned: "So she was forced, who wants to hurt her like this?"

Things gradually became clear, Qin Niansi was first forced to marry into Hongfu as a concubine, and every day she stayed in Hongfu was beaten and abused, and then she couldn't stand it and committed suicide by taking poison. Soon after her death, the Hong Mansion was destroyed, and it seemed that someone was seeking revenge for Qin Niansi instead of deliberately framing Mo Ran, but who sold Qin Niansi into the Hong family? and why did someone tell her the news of Qin Niansi at this time, and it seemed that someone deliberately led her to Qiongzhou.

"Thank you, I probably know, you go get busy. Mo Ran thanked Xiao Er.

"Okay, those three masters need to call me again. After speaking, the shopkeeper was called by the shopkeeper.

"Looks like I'm going to have to find my mother's original residence. Mo Ran got up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Fusang.

Fusang said: "Qiongzhou City is so big, how do you find it?"

"I'm going to try anyway. Mo Ran was extremely determined at this time, vowing to find the real culprit who killed Mo Ran's mother.

Fusang picked up the cup, drank another glass, and said with a smile: "I advise you to talk to this god lord well, maybe this god king will be able to help you find it as soon as he is happy." ”

"Really, do you have a way?" Mo Ran sat down happily, and grabbed Fusang's hand, she now looked like a man, this situation looked very strange, and some passers-by saw the two men behaving intimately, and they all bowed their heads and pointed.

Fusang's heart trembled slightly, and he withdrew his hand, "Just talk, don't move your hands and feet!"

Mo Ran nodded and said, "Okay, good, whatever the Divine Venerable says, as long as you are willing to help me with this!"
