North Street, Liu's Mansion.

In the early years of the Liu family, the older generation was originally a gang of bandits on the mountain, and later a mountain patrol found that gold came out of the back mountain of the village, so the Liu family at that time took people to dig, this digging, dug out more than a dozen gold nuggets of different sizes, and later this matter caused internal disputes in the village.

Even alarmed the imperial court, the imperial court learned of this, sent three thousand soldiers and horses to garrison the cottage, the owner of the village saw that the situation was not good, proposed to negotiate with the emperor, the result of the negotiation was to hand over the ownership of the gold mine to the imperial court, but the cottage to manage the gold mine, the dug gold ore seventy percent handed over to the imperial court, thirty percent by the village to obtain, and then the village up and down handed over to the imperial court management.

In this way, the internal turmoil of the cottage was calmed down, and they were able to get a share of the gold mine, after all, they could not get any benefit from the confrontation with the imperial court at that time.

The sea changed, and the bandit gang on the mountain, after making a fortune, grasped the ownership of a street in the north street of the capital, and gradually became a prominent wealthy merchant in the capital.

Mu Lingxuan has long been aware of these things, so he understands that the foundation of the Liu family is based on the operation of the gold mine after the negotiations with the imperial court back then, but the Liu family of that year is long gone, and it is the turn of his grandson Liu Batian to take charge of the family business, although it has not declined, but it has long lost the original majesty, this Liu Batian is just relying on a ruthlessness, plus the help of several stewards of the Liu family, so that the Liu family's family background is thick enough, and it still enjoys a leading position in North Street.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the Liu Mansion has arrived." The attendant outside the sedan chair spoke.

Followed by the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, an old man who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, came forward to receive Mu Qingfeng and the others.

"See the prince, please go with the old man." The old butler bowed down and invited him.

The guards on the side were very dissatisfied, "How can this be reasonable, the prince has arrived, and you are like this." ”

Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Mu Lingxuan.

"Please lead the way with the butler." Mu Lingxuan motioned to the people beside him not to be troublesome.

The old housekeeper naturally knows that these things that his master does are against etiquette, but the title of the North Street Bully is not for nothing, and the old man Liu is of course very fond of him, so this Liu Batian has been windy and rainy since he was a child, and no one dares to offend this temper, although this old housekeeper has been in the Liu family for many years, he still does not want to offend the master of his own family.

Entering the mansion, there was a burst of laughter, the old housekeeper's face was prestigious, and now he was suddenly afraid, the prince seemed to be gentle and elegant, but gradually found that there was a trace of chill in his eyes.

"It seems that this prince has disturbed your young master's Yaxing, you said that since this is the case, this prince will go back first, and when your young master has time, we will have a good chat." Mu Lingxuan's tone was displeased.

The man said that, turned around and left, obviously the people in the room did not want to greet Mu Lingxuan at all, and the sound filled Mu Lingxuan's eardrums, causing him to feel disgusted.

"His Royal Highness the Prince." The people who accompanied him wanted to speak and stopped, and they could see Mu Lingxuan's emotions and the sense of oppression that could not be approached.

"Heh, sake bag rice bag."

The man's slender figure stepped into the sedan chair and said loudly. "Go to the Qian Mansion."

King Jing's Mansion, Liu Si and the others were invited by Mu Qingfeng.

On the pavilion of the garden sat three imposing men, one dressed in a plain robe, with a slight silver thread on his sideburns, and a young and handsome elegant man in a dark green brocade robe on the opposite side.

The other, sitting on the railing by himself, leaned and drank leisurely, without greetings but surprisingly natural.

Xiao Hanguang, as usual, looked into the distance with an indifferent expression, those dark eyes with a dim expression, as if no one had ever entered his eyes, and there was no way to enter his heart, like a carved face, with sharp edges and corners, and his ink-like hair was tied up high with a piece of brocade today, with a bit of loneliness in the chic heart, he was as lonely as ever.

After a while, Mu Qingfeng and Mu Qing walked towards the three of them with a cold wind, with an unusual look on their faces.

The three people in the pavilion all set their eyes on the comer.

"A few days ago, my father asked me to investigate, and I have some eyebrows, it seems that it was done by people from the Western Regions." Mu Qingfeng finished speaking.

I saw a white jade chess piece held by Luo Jiu among the singers, and it suddenly stopped in mid-air. The man looked back.

"According to historical records, Wuguo has not had dealings with the Western Regions for many years, and even forbade people from the Western Regions to enter Wuguo. Luo Jiuge is the son of the prime minister, and he has heard a little about the past events of the year, but he didn't expect that this kind of thing still happened after many years.

"Qingfeng, how did you know that you are from the Western Regions?" Liu Si took Luo Jiuge's words.

"During the investigation, it was found that the dart master of the dart board was made of a flower named mandala**, which stunned people and robbed the dart."

"I heard Mu Qing say that this mandala flower is only available in the Western Regions, and people like this who are familiar with the medicinal properties of mandala and make it poisonous, I think only people in the Western Regions will know it so well." Mu Qingfeng made his discoveries and speculations one by one.

However, how to find the mysterious man in the Linglong Inn does require a careful and thoughtful plan.

"Also, I found out that a few days ago, a group of refugees came in from the west of the city, but their real identities may not be displaced refugees. It seems to me that these people are the same group as the dart robbers. “

Liu Si was silent, he had already made arrangements for this matter, but as he said before, he didn't want to interfere too much in this matter, and made up his mind that he would only help Mu Qingfeng make suggestions as a last resort.

Mu Qingfeng knew why Liu Si was, and he never forced him, Liu Si was both a teacher and a family member to Mu Qingfeng.

"There is another person, the man who lived in the Linglong Inn, I always felt that he had a different mysterious identity." Mu Qing added on the side.

"Linglong Inn, isn't that an industry of the Zhao family? It is also said that the old Zhao family's vault was stolen. Xiao Hanguang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, talked about it with interest.

"Could it be that these thefts in the capital are also related to them?" Mu Qingfeng faintly felt that there were more and more clues, but they were closely linked to each other, like a huge net, entangled in them.
