Chapter 339: The Truth of the Year
Mu Qiurong took Yunqi and Guzhu to the courtyard of an alley in Liangqiu Town, this is where the couple lived back then, in addition to a woman who was nearly fifty years old drying clothes, there was also a **-year-old boy playing. Mu Qiurong was about to enter, but Yunqi suddenly said: "Sister, it's good for you to go in by yourself, it's inconvenient for me to go in, and Guzhu's appearance will frighten the child!"
Guzhu couldn't cry or laugh in his heart!
Mu Qiurong knocked on the door and faced the woman. Yunqi was led by a lonely bamboo, climbed up the walled courtyard, and checked the woman's expression.
"Miss Mu, why are you here?" the woman was surprised, Mu Qiurong had come here to find the couple back then, so the woman had some impressions of her.
"You should know the purpose of my visit, what have you remembered after so many years?" Mu Qiurong stared at the woman, the woman who looked at her was a little unnatural, and replied with a dodgy look: "Miss Mu, we are very grateful to Master Mu for saving us, but we have already said it at the beginning, we were half scared to death at that time, and we didn't know anything at all!"
"Is it true that you don't know anything, or are you deliberately hiding something?" Mu Qiurong deliberately threatened.
When the woman heard this, she looked a little panicked, and her expression was extremely unnatural. In the middle of the house, a man's voice came: "Mother-in-law, who are you talking to?" Then a man in his early fifties walked out, and when he saw Mu Qiurong, his face changed immediately, and he drove Mu Qiurong away unceremoniously: "Miss Mu, we have already made it clear what we should say back then, there is nothing to say, I hope you don't come to disturb our lives again, you are not welcome here!"
"What are you talking about?" Mu Qiurong had been rejected by someone like this, the demeanor of the head of the Mu family was revealed, and he glanced at the man, a cold shot out, and the man was directly knocked down on the clothes pole, knocking all the freshly lit clothes to the ground, and his eyes were full of fear. The children playing in the courtyard were frightened when they saw their grandfather fall, and they began to cry. Seeing this, Mu Qiurong realized that he had gone a little too far, so without saying a word, he left the courtyard and joined Yunqi and the two.
"I still haven't asked anything!" Mu Qiurong shook his head helplessly.
"No, looking at the expressions of this couple, they obviously know something, but they just don't want to say it!" The scene in the courtyard just now, Yun Qi had a full view, and he was even more sure that they had something hidden in their hearts.
"Then I'll go again!" Mu Qiurong finished speaking, turned around and left. Yunqi remembered the picture of Mu Qiurong scaring the crying child just now, and immediately stopped: "Sister, they deliberately concealed it, you can't ask anything if you go now, let's wait, wait until night, I have my own way!"
Mu Qiurong didn't ask much, she trusted Yunqi very much!
After leaving the couple's house, several people came to the inn where Mu Qiuyun lived back then, and the innkeeper was the one who spent money to hire a carriage to send Mu Qiuyun's body back, so he came here to thank him, and he still wanted to see if he had found anything. The innkeeper was in his fifties, and when he saw Yunqi, he was scared half to death, thinking that he had cheated the corpse, and after some explanation, he realized that he just looked a little similar to Mu Qiuyun, not Mu Qiuyun.
Talking about the past, the innkeeper was also full of sadness, Mu Qiuyun had lived in his store for more than a month, and he didn't have the arrogance of the family son at all, and he was humble to others, so he was familiar with the boss and the guys in the store.
"Shopkeeper, do you know why Mu Qiuyun has been living in your store for so long?" Yunqi has always felt that Mu Qiuyun has been in Liangqiu Town for more than a month, which is a little strange, so he wants to find the answer from the innkeeper.
"I know, Mu Gongzi is looking for treasure!" said the shopkeeper with a casual face, causing Mu Qiurong and several people to be shocked.
"Treasure hunting?"
"Yes, you must have heard that more than thirty years ago, a cave full of treasures was found outside Liangqiu Town. Mu Gongzi said that he had news in his hand, and he could find a cave like this!"
"How do you know?" Yun Qi asked puzzledly, it stands to reason that if a person has treasure information, he should secretly look for it by himself, and it is impossible to talk to people everywhere.
When the shopkeeper saw a few people asking, he found a table, invited a few people to sit down, and then whispered: " This thing is also strange, when Mu Gongzi came to our store, paid for three days of room money, he himself said that he would leave after three days, but the day before checking out, he said to go out to see someone, after coming back very happy, suddenly said not to go, paid for two months at once, at first we didn't care, and then gradually matured, once he came back from outside, drank a lot of wine, and we mentioned this matter, said that we would be able to find the treasure immediately, but unfortunately not a few days later, I encountered that!"
The more people investigated, the more suspicious they found here, everything was just as Yunqi said, Mu Qiuyun's murder was never so simple!
"Then do you know who my brother went to meet?" Mu Qiurong's heart was turbulent at the moment, five years have passed, she has been immersed in grief, only thinking about avenging her brother, but she has never thought about whether there is another hidden meaning in the events of the year.
"I don't know about this, Mu Gongzi and that person met outside, and we haven't seen each other at all!" Regarding this matter, the shopkeeper can't help it.
Yun Qi thought carefully about the existing information, what was the rescued couple hiding, Mu Qiuyun got the treasure information, it should have been deliberately left in Liangqiu Town, but why that person did this is unknown, and the person who was killed by Mu Qiuyun had a strange cause of death!
Yunqi thought for a long time and couldn't connect the clues, so he asked casually: "By the way, do you know the person who was killed by Mu Gongzi back then?"
The shopkeeper nodded, don't say that person is him, I'm afraid the whole Liangqiu Town knows him, his name is Mu Hu, he is a cousin of Mu Tianxiao, Mu Tianxiao handed over Liangqiu Town to him to manage, so every three months, he will come to Liangqiu Town to collect taxes, the day he was beaten by Mu Qiuyun was the first day he came to Liangqiu Town to collect taxes, and the news came out on the second day that he was killed by Mu Qiuyun!
After hearing this, Yunqi suddenly realized, now that all this is strung together, someone deliberately left Mu Qiuyun in Liangqiu Town, just to wait for Mu Hu's arrival, and then let the two conflict, in this way, the couple is afraid that the person also deliberately arranged it, causing a conflict between the two, and since the other party can make an appointment with Mu Qiuyun, and can be sure that Mu Qiuyun sees that the couple is bullied, he will definitely come to the rescue, which shows that he knows Mu Qiuyun very well, and must be a familiar person with Mu Qiuyun; Thinking of this, Yunqi has a person in his mind who is about to come out, but whether it is a game set up by him depends on tonight。
After leaving the inn, the three of them found a place to eat something, Mu Qiurong had no appetite, and under Yunqi's many persuasions, he barely ate something, found a place to rest, and waited until late at night!
Mu Mansion, Liu Pu had something to look for Mu Qiurong, but was told by the maid who served Mu Qiurong that the head of the family had gone out with Young Master Yun and Guzhu early in the morning, but he didn't know where he went. In the evening, Liu Pu came to look for Mu Qiurong again, and saw that Mu Qiurong and the others had not returned, and gradually felt that something was wrong, and then thought of Yunqi recently inquiring about him in private, and vaguely felt that a few people might be investigating themselves, and he had always been cautious, so he immediately packed up his things, left Mu Mansion overnight, and went towards a private house in his city. The reason why he didn't meet Leng Fengyang was because he wasn't sure if Mu Qiurong and the others were going to investigate him at this moment, if he guessed wrong, he could find a reason to say that he was going out to do errands, and once he went to Leng Mansion and was discovered, that is
Completely exposed, as cunning as he is, he will not leave people with such a chance, after all, no one is sure if there is a person from Mu Qiurong in Leng Mansion.
Just after the child, most of the people in Liangqiu Town had already fallen asleep, and the three of Yunqi secretly came to the couple's house, and with the help of Guzhu, Yunqi sneaked into the couple's room, with a cloak and a white dress, looking a little terrifying. Then make some noise and wake the two up.
"Who?" The middle-aged man asked in a daze as if he heard a knock on the door, but when he woke up, he didn't see anyone, and the woman sleeping next to him also woke up and said to his wife: "Did you hear it wrong, go to sleep!"
As soon as the two of them lay down, the voice rang out again, and this time they both heard it clearly, and got up from the bed. Yunqi, who was hiding in the corner, was under the control of the Lone Bamboo Source Qi, the soles of his feet were suspended, and he floated over gently, and then a gust of yin wind blew, revealing Yunqi's face under the moonlight that shot into the house.
The middle-aged couple was so frightened that they were speechless, and their entire backs were soaked with cold sweat all at once.
"Why did you want to harm me in the first place..."Yun Qi lowered his voice, looking extremely terrifying.
"Mu... Mu Gongzi, you... What are you doing here?" the woman's mouth trembled, and she definitely thought she had seen a ghost in this environment.
"Why did you want to harm me in the first place..."Yun Qi repeated what he had just said, even the tone of his voice was the same, making it all more realistic.
"I... We don't want to, someone kidnapped our grandson and said that we should deliberately provoke Na Mu Hu, or else we will kill our grandson!" The man was also frightened and told the original story. They thought that it was just a touch of Mu Hu, it was not a big deal, at most they were beaten, and they didn't think that Mu Qiuyun would come to the rescue, and it also led to a series of things later.
"Who is that person, who is trying to harm me!" Yunqi continued to ask.
"We don't know him, we only know that he is a little thin, and his hair likes to stand tall and stand tall, and then he was invited to Mu Mansion by the Mu family lady, and we saw him in Mu Mansion, we don't know what is going on here, so we don't dare to talk more, for fear of causing death!" When the two were invited by Mu Qiurong to inquire about the truth of the matter, they saw the person who was going to blackmail their grandson from a distance in the mansion, so they thought that Miss Mu was going to usurp the position of Mu Gongzi's head of the family, and deliberately sent someone to design and kill their younger brother, plus the person intimidated them at that time, if they dared to tell the matter, it would destroy their whole family, so for so many years, they could only pretend that they didn't know anything.
At this moment, everything was clear, Yunqi was about to retreat, but saw Mu Qiurong directly kick the door open, pointed a finger, lit the candle of the houseowner, as if he wanted to kill someone, and walked towards the two; Seeing this, the two looked at Yunqi and then at Mu Qiurong, not understanding what was going on, but it was certain that the person in front of them was not Mu Qiuyun's ghost.
"Is this the person who wanted to blackmail you in the first place?" Mu Qiurong took out a portrait of Liu Pu and asked the two to identify it, the two knew that Mu Qiurong was powerful, and they didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and after checking it carefully, they nodded.
At that moment, Mu Qiurong knew the whole story, Liu Pu carefully set up a situation, deliberately let his younger brother know the news that there were treasures outside Liangqiu Town, left him in Liangqiu Town, waited for Mu Hu to arrive, and then arranged for him to see the scene of Mu Hu beating people. It's just that now it seems that Mu Hu was really killed by his younger brother, and what is Liu Pu's purpose in doing all this?
Mu Qiurong didn't have time to think about it at all, her only thought now was to return to Mu Mansion and kill Liu Pu with her own hands!
