Chapter Seventy-One: The Ship Tragedy Slipped Through the Net

The official addition of Sun Youlin and others was finally able to give Chen Mu some confidence.

After leaving Chu Tongcheng, Chen Mu originally planned to let him continue treatment, after all, the injury was still not optimistic, but Chu Tongcheng was unwilling.

In his words, there is no merit, he has not done anything for Chen Mu, and he has already paid in advance for this pair of arm armor, where is he willing to stay and recuperate.

After all, Sun Youlin and the others were all people from the rivers and lakes who could not see the light, and they did not want to stay in the foreigners' concessions openly, so they asked Chen Mu.

"What do you want us to do?"

Chen Mu did not hide it, and briefly talked about the case of the Dukali Countess, everyone is well-informed, and they have heard about this matter for a long time, and Hong Shuntang let the government and foreigners join forces to eradicate it, which is also regrettable and angry.

But I didn't expect that there would be such an insider, the most hated thing by the Chinese people is the traitor, which has a historical origin, so Sun Youlin and the others didn't say a word, left the concession, and began to squat at Gong Fuzi!

They are all old and familiar Jianghu people, Chen Mu is relieved, so it is up to them to do this.

After separating from the two, Chen Mu was about to go back, but he saw that the foreigner who managed the racecourse, the old horseman, led Hebo and others out of the racecourse, and was about to pass through the side gate of the concession and leave here.

Chen Mu didn't have a chance to inform Lin Sheng, the deed master, but just instructed Hebo to lead everyone to take refuge, and when he saw it at this time, he stepped forward and gave a few more words.

Although everyone was very embarrassed, they all suffered in the official prison, and although the foreigners let them live in the stables, they did not beat and scolded them.

Last night, Chen Mu didn't look closely, and when he saw everyone today, he inevitably looked at it twice, but found that one of the young people was shining, cowering, and seemed a little out of place with the eagerness of others.

Although he had tried his best to hide it, he couldn't escape Chen Mu's eyes after all!

It seems that Hebo and the others are all servants of the family, Chen Mu is very familiar with it, but this young man is a little faceless, Chen Mu inevitably frowned, could it be that Hebo took this opportunity to rescue this young man who was not a servant of the Chen family?

Chen Mu didn't dare to trust others easily, so he said to the old housekeeper at this time, "Can you give me some time?" I still have something to say to them. ”

The old groom got up early, and he really saw the fight between Chen Mu and Isabella on the horse farm, and he knew better than others that the relationship between the young man in front of him and his own young lady was not just as simple as it seemed.

In addition, Chen Mu walked in front, and the old housekeeper just followed behind, even the old housekeeper had such a posture towards Chen Mu, where did the old groom stop him, and immediately nodded and said, "Your Excellency is at your own convenience." ”

So saying, he stepped aside.

Chen Mu knew that the old housekeeper knew Cantonese, so he said to the old housekeeper: "You should also avoid it." ”

The old butler was the one who witnessed Chen Mu take the arm armor back from the bone crusher, and he also had a new understanding of Chen Mu, so he dared to be wordy, and immediately retreated to the side.

Chen Mu walked in front of the young man and asked him, "Who are you, why can't I recognize you?" ”

Seeing Chen Mu's solemn face, He Bo immediately opened his mouth to explain: "Second Shao, he is ......"

Chen Mu raised his hand and stopped: "Let him say it himself!" ”

In everyone's impression, the second young Chen Mu has always been gentle and elegant, and he never dictates at home, and he will not persecute the servants by force.

However, Chen Mu has gone through many things, and his temperament has already changed, especially after accepting Sun Youlin and others, he gradually has the consciousness of being the master of the house.

Everyone saw Chen Mu's majestic expression, as if he had grown up overnight, and they didn't dare to speak again.

The young man's expression was evasive, and he didn't dare to agree for a while, Chen Mu made a lightning move and grabbed his upper arm, and this person suddenly exclaimed.

"Ahh

He subconsciously retracted his arm, and Chen Mu knew that his upper arm was hiding a wound!

After being exposed so accurately by Chen Mu, the young man looked at the old housekeeper and the groom vigilantly.

Chen Mu also took advantage of the situation and threatened: "Give you one last chance, either tell the truth, or throw you back to the stable!" ”

The young man looks like he is sixteen or seventeen years old, not much older than Chen Mu, his fake braids have long been gone, his short hair is dirty and messy, and his face is dirty, but he can still see that his foundation is very handsome.

Brother Chen Ying is a fun-loving person, and his playmates and brothers also pay attention to appearance, if this person is not down, he is estimated to be a handsome and beautiful boy.

Xu was afraid, the young man immediately shed tears and said to Chen Mu: "Second Shao, I am the newly accepted younger brother of Da Shao, and I followed Da Shao on the boat that night......

"It's just that I didn't expect it to be so tragic, after being injured, I didn't dare to move again, so I could only hide in the pile of corpses and cheat to death, and took the opportunity to dive into the water, so I escaped and ran back to Chen's house to report the news, but I was arrested and put in prison by the officers and soldiers, and Hebo lied that I was the flower king who cut the grass at home, so I saved my ......"

I thought that everyone who got on the boat was already dead and escaped, but I didn't expect that there would be such a fish that slipped through the net, Chen Mu was also surprised and delighted!

"You're also on ?!!! ship"

"Yes...... I also saw ...... I saw Er Shao jumping into the sea......" The young man finally mustered up his courage, raised his head, and looked at Chen Mu.

"You saw me jumping into the sea? To put it this way...... Do you see them all? ”

"Yes......"

Chen Mu's heart suddenly jumped wildly, this young man witnessed the whole process, that is to say, he also saw the murderer who killed his father and brother!

"Who killed my father and brother!" Chen Mu grabbed the young man's neckline, and the young man was also frightened.

"Two less...... The foreigner looked at it...... "He Bo hurriedly patted Chen Mu's arm, and Chen Mu let go.

The young man's expression also eased, and he replied to Chen Mu: "That night, Da Shao and I took the lead in boarding the ship, I thought that the sailors were sleeping in the cabin, and we were about to set fire, but we were ambushed by foreigners, and their people rushed out and put guns everywhere......

When the young man said this, he couldn't cry, but Chen Mu couldn't speak for a long time, clenched his fists tightly, and after a while, after calming down, he said to the young man: "Can you still recognize the foreign leader who shot the gun?" ”

The young man's face was full of grief and indignation: "Even if he turns to ashes, I know him too!" ”

Chen Mu trembled, and it took a long time before he let go of his fist and asked the young man, "What's your name?" But still have family? ”

"My name is Yan Ruxu, my father is the little shopkeeper of Jardine and Hong Kong, but I died of illness seven years ago, my mother was too hardworking, and I was gone three years ago, and I was such an only child at home, sitting on the empty mountain, and having no spare wealth, I followed the young man to do things......"

Jardine Matheson was the first of the thirteen banks in Guangzhou, when the income of the four major commercial houses was more than the income of the national treasury in a year, and Wu Bingjian, the owner of Jardine Matheson, was one of the top 20 super-rich people in the history of the world.

Although the Thirteen Lines of Guangzhou is already the old yellow calendar, the glory is no longer what it used to be, and even has long since declined, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and Yan Ruxu's father can become the little shopkeeper of Jardine and the family should be good.

Although his brother Chen Ying loves to play, he often makes good brothers sincerely, and then pulls his brothers into the gang to contribute to Hong Shuntang's career.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu said to Yan Ruxuan: "You will follow me in the future." ”

Yan Ruxu was suddenly surprised, but peeked at the foreigner butler and the groom with concern.

Chen Mu immediately reassured: "Don't worry, since I can let you stay, I will definitely protect you, you are my brother's friend, that is my Chen Mu's friend." ”

The reason why Chen Mu left Yan Ruxuan was because he witnessed the whole process, he could recognize the appearance of the murderer, and Chen Mu wanted him to correct whether it was Francois's own hand.

Second, since Yan Ruxu is his brother's playmate, he must know the bits and pieces of his brother's life, and Chen Mu also wants to ask occasionally to alleviate his memories and thoughts of his brother.

Of course, taking Yan Ruxu with you can not only remind yourself of the revenge at all times, but also deliver news to Chen Mu and so on.

Seeing this, Hebo inevitably came up and persuaded: "Er Shao, wouldn't this be too risky, after all, this is the realm of foreigners......"

Chen Mu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, since I can be safe and sound, the brothers will be fine." ”

He Bo didn't say more, and Chen Mu said to them: "Go find Lin Sheng and Lin Sanye, he will arrange you all." ”

Saying this, the old horseman was also a little impatient, and came up to urge, and Hebo and the others were reluctant to leave Chen Mu.

Chen Mu led Yan Ruxu back to the guest room, first found Isabella's personal doctor, treated his arm, bandaged it properly, and then asked the servant to bring food.

Although Yan Ruxu had not eaten such a good meal for a long time, when he ate, he was gentle, not slow or hurried, and he had the demeanor of a child, which also made Chen Mu believe in his origin.

Chen Mu was also worried about the long nights and dreams, so after the meal, he took Yan Ruxuan to find Prussian and said to the old priest.

"Teacher, I want to visit Sir François, can you take me there?"

When Prussian heard this, he also frowned, as if he couldn't understand Chen Mu's approach.

"What do you want to do?"

Faced with Prussian's question, Chen Mu had no choice but to come up with the set of rhetoric he had already thought of.

"I have no personal vendetta against François, and now that I am Mademoiselle Isabella's servant knight, I may see him more often in the future, so I want to reconcile with him, and win his understanding, and it will be more pleasant in the future."

Prussian suddenly realized, nodded and said, "This is the attitude of a victor, Chen, I am proud of you." ”

Saying this, he simply cleaned up, asked the people from the consulate to prepare a carriage, and took Chen Mu and Yan Ruxu to Francois's official residence.

Chen Mu couldn't relax, because this time he passed, not for reconciliation, he wanted Yan Ruxu to identify the murderer!

"It's not appropriate to bring a knife to reconcile, right?" After boarding the carriage, Prussian looked at the gold and silver thin-packed Tang Dadao on Chen Mu's waist, and frowned a little.

"This is a ceremonial knife given to me by Miss Isabella, a symbol of my status, of course I have to take it with me, I am here to reconcile, not to ask him, it is important to let him know that I am Miss Isabella's person."

Hearing Chen Mu's explanation, Prussian didn't say anything more.

In fact, Chen Mu was carrying a knife, and he was also a little worried in his heart, not that he would not be able to reconcile, but that if Yan Ruxu really identified François as the murderer, he would not be able to help but kill people on the spot!
