Chapter 41: It's All Over!
Luo Ji has not come forward to explain, and the family has not come to make trouble since they were invited in by Luo Ji's shopkeeper to talk about it that day, and everyone thinks that they have admitted the crime and then made compensation.
After such a fuss, no one went to Luo Ji to buy things, Luo Ji has been closed for the past few days, and has not been open again, as for the Bai family, it has not been affected in any way, and even the business is even better than before.
Bai Ran grinned so hard that he almost laughed to the back of his head, Luo Ji must be the day of nowhere this time, without Luo Ji, plus there are five highnesses, now he is already King An, with the support of King An, the position of the Bai family has been stable since then, and he Bai Ran is the best head of the Bai family in the past!
However, it turned out that what Lu Wanting said was not wrong, and Bai Ran was also happy too early.
Only three days later, several more people who had used the Bai family's rouge died one after another, and those families all saw their relatives fall to the ground, and then turn pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, then shriveled, and then worms crawled out.
This matter finally made a big fuss, Bai Ran thought of Mo Heng when he heard about it, he found Mo Heng and asked sharply: "Mr. Mo, what is going on?" What exactly did you do? ”
"What? It's just a few people dead, what are you doing so loudly? ”
"But how many people died? So, did you really do it? What the hell did you do?! ”
"But I just put some worm eggs, my worms like to eat human blood the most, isn't it just right to put it in your rouge?"
Mo Heng's smile seemed a little gloomy to Bai Ran at this time, and Bai Ran felt that he was being used.
"Could it be that His Royal Highness King An instructed you to do it?"
"He? How is that possible, of course it is me. ”
"Why are you doing that?" Bai Ran had a gloomy face and glared at Mo Heng angrily.
"My bugs need nutrients, I have earned so much money for your Bai family, but it is only a few lives, can't this be repaid to me?"
"But a few lives?" Bai Ran's face was gloomy and terrifying, "Mo Heng, are you helping my Bai family or harming us?" ”
"What do you think?"
"If Your Highness knows that you are doing this, how will you explain it to him?"
"Confession? I don't need to explain it to him. ”
Bai Ran looked at Mo Heng, who had an indifferent expression, only to feel that his chest hurt a little again, and he couldn't breathe.
"Why are you doing this? Aren't we working together for His Highness? ”
Mo Heng didn't answer him, just glanced at him coldly, and then turned to leave.
"Bai Ran! Look at the good things you've done! ”
In the private room of the Drunken Immortal Building, Murong Qian slapped the table angrily, picked up the teacup and smashed it at Bai Ran, who was kneeling in front of him.
Murong Qian just learned from Xin Ji that He Zizhong was bribed by the sixth child to frame the prince, and he also found out that Lin Yanqing became the sixth person. These things are enough for him to have a headache, but he didn't expect Bai Ran's side to make such a big fuss, and it is close to ten lives! Isn't that enough to blame him?
Bai Ran knelt on the ground with a pale face, the Bai family was now in crisis again, seeing that his grand cause was about to be ruined again, he really hated Mo Heng, and looked up at Murong Qian, who sent Mo Heng to him, and there was more resentment in his words.
"It's all Mo Heng's ghost, it's he who has a Gu worm in the rouge! It was His Highness who sent Mo Heng to me at the beginning, shouldn't His Highness ask him what was going on? ”
"Mo Heng? Gu? He put Gu worms in the rouge? ”
Murong Qian looked shocked, he didn't know anything about this matter.
It seems that it was not His Highness who instructed him, but he made his own decisions. Didn't he know the consequences of doing so? ”
Bai Ran looked at Murong Qian's expression and knew that what Mo Heng said was true, and suddenly looked indignant, he really didn't understand, obviously they were all working for His Highness, why did Mo Heng hurt him so much? It simply doesn't make sense!
Murong Qian couldn't return to his senses at this time, what was going on? Didn't Mo Heng promise that he would do his best to help the Bai family? Why do you want to do something like this that is not good for the Bai family? What the hell is he doing?
Looking at Bai Ran, who looked aggrieved and resentful, Murong Qian sighed, helped Bai Ran up, and comforted: "Don't worry, I don't know what he's doing, I'll invite him over, and then ask the reason." Now that something has happened to the Bai family, you have to come forward, you first go back and find all the people who bought the rouge, take back the rouge, and then return the silver to them, and apologize and compensate them for the same. ”
Then tell them that you don't know about it, that you are investigating, but that you will be responsible for them to the end, and that you will never let those people die in vain, and that your attitude must be clear and sincere. ”
Bai Ran's face softened at this time, and he nodded lightly in agreement. At this point, he can only find a way to save it.
"Miss, there is news from Xuanye that Bai Ran and King An met in the Drunken Immortal Building."
Youhua reported the situation to Lu Wanting. In the past few days, Lu Wanting has been sending Xuan Ye to follow Bai Ran to see if he has any abnormal behavior.
"King An? What did they say? ”
"Bai Ran is King An's person, and they mentioned a name, Mo Heng, this person is the person who added Gu worms to the rouge, and Mo Heng is also the person sent by King An to Bai Ran. However, listening to their conversation, Bai Ran and King An didn't know about Gu. ”
"So the Bai family is being used? Then how could Murong Qian not know? If Mo Heng and Bai Ran were both King An's people, how could they put the Bai family in their current situation? What the hell is going on? Lu Wanting felt that it really didn't make sense.
If Mo Heng and Bai Ran were both Murong Qian's people, Mo Heng would have no reason to deal with the Bai family, but the current fact is that Mo Heng hid Bai Ran, concealed Murong Qian, and added Gu worms to the rouge on his own initiative, resulting in several lives. Then, there must be someone else behind his allegiance!
After Bai Ran left, Murong Qian was about to summon Xin Ji to find Mo Heng over, but at this time, the door of the box was pushed open.
Murong Qian turned around and saw Murong Zhan walking in with a smile, as well as the people following him.
Murong Qian looked at Murong Zhan and the person behind him, his face became gloomy, "Sixth brother is so calculating!" I just don't know when you guys started hooking up? ”
Murong Zhan walked in and sat down, and the person behind him also came in and sat next to him, this person was Mo Heng!
"When! I have to think about it, it should be when you first met Mo Heng and saved him? Or when Mo Heng promised to help the Bai family for you? Murong Zhan said unhurriedly, poured a cup of tea, and also poured a cup for Mo Heng.
Murong Qian walked up to Murong Zhan and looked at Mo Heng who was calmly drinking tea with some gritted teeth, "So, I was designed to save you in the first place?" So you said you would repay me for saving my life, and then you showed up when I needed help, all of which was part of your game? ”
Mo Heng didn't raise his eyelids in the face of Murong Qian's questioning, just drank tea and said nothing.
Murong Zhan chuckled, "Fifth brother has finally reacted, it seems that he is not too stupid!" ”
"Sixth, do you know that it is a living human life! How could you be so ruthless?! ”
Murong Qian's heart was already in turmoil, he really didn't expect his sixth brother's scheming to be so deep!
"Ruthless? Lives? The battle for imperial power is a river of blood, is the fifth brother too benevolent? ! Murong Zhan put the teacup on the table heavily and chuckled.
"Does the sixth brother mean to officially join this competition now? That's why you framed the eighth child and pulled him down from the crown prince? ”
"Oh, it seems that the fifth brother already knows about this! Why, aren't you happy that the crown prince was deposed? I helped you eliminate an opponent, shouldn't you thank me? ”
"You're really unscrupulous!"
"Heh, each other, the fifth brother has not been unscrupulous."
"I'm better than the sixth brother, I at least have a bottom line, and I won't hurt innocent people. And you, sixth brother, have no lower limit! ”
"Heh, the fifth brother is still a little merciful, if that's the case, then you shouldn't be able to fight me." Murong Zhan showed a harmless smile at Murong Qian.
Murong Qian laughed angrily, "Heh, it's hard to say who wins and who loses!" ”
Murong Qian really didn't want to be in the same room with such a person who had no moral bottom line, so he got up and brushed his sleeves and left.
Murong Zhan put away his smile, his eyes flickered, and said lightly: "Looking forward to your performance!" ”
According to Murong Qian's instructions, Bai Ran took back all the new rouges that were sold, and also lost a lot of silver, and the situation was finally stable.
This time it really outweighed the losses, and looking back, he really thought that Mo Heng was improving the rouge formula for him, so that he could crush Luo Ji. Who thinks about it, he is clearly putting Gu inside! If he had known that Mo Heng was playing this kind of calculation, he would not have agreed to anything!
Fortunately, there is still a chance to recover the loss, as long as he bites the bullet and does not admit that there is a problem with the rouge, and then shirks and says that all this is Luo Ji's conspiracy, not only can he bring down Luo Ji, but he can also save the face of the Bai family.
What Bai Ran forgot was that when Mo Heng first came, he also added Gu worms to the Bai family's rouge, and he also knew, but at that time, Mo Heng said that there was no problem with those Gu worms, and after so long, no one had an accident, so he forgot about it.
In fact, the Gu worms that Mo Heng put in the Bai family's rouge at the beginning were just a little slower. This time it was because Mo Heng also added drugs to promote the growth of Gu worms in the rouge, so the side effects broke out so quickly, the initial batch of Gu worms grew naturally in the human body, without the stimulation of drugs, so it took a long process, but until now, the time is almost the same.
Sure enough, a few days after Bai Ran had just suppressed the matter, more than a dozen people died! So far, more than 20 people have died.
When Murong Qian asked Bai Ran if he really recycled all the rouge he sold, Bai Ran, who was completely dazed and at a loss, nodded, he had indeed taken back all the rouge!
All the rouge sold is clearly recorded in the ledger, and he recovered it one by one according to the ledger, and there can be absolutely no mistake!
What went wrong? Bai Ran pondered for a long time, grabbed a lot of hair, and suddenly he stopped, he finally remembered the original batch of rouge, and remembered that Mo Heng swore to him: "My Gu worms are harmless to the human body, not only harmless, but also beautiful and beautiful." ”
He fell to the ground, his face turned pale in an instant, and he muttered to himself, "It's over! It's all over! ”
