Chapter 61: Fear of Guilt in Advance?
The emperor is getting older and not in good health, and his temper is becoming more and more irritable, revealing more of his murderous nature. Since ancient times, the emperor has been suspicious, and if this incident reaches the ears of the emperor, he may not be disgusted with what kind of bloody storm.
When the time comes, everyone is at risk.
Dongchang, Jinyiwei, who can guarantee that they can be alone?
After leaving the mansion and walking in the dark alley, none of the four of them spoke, and they found something that should not be checked, and they didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
I don't know, and I feel at ease.
I know too much to afford to put down!
"Don't want to say something?" Shen Dongzhan asked.
Su Mu walked side by side with him, while Zhou Nan and Nian Xiu kept their distance and followed behind.
After a pause, Su Mu turned his face to look at him, "Does Commander Shen want me to reveal some news, or to express my opinion?" There is no news, and the opinion is, be nosy, and be wise to protect yourself. Don't forget, this is Yucheng! β
"This is not like Su Qianhu's style." Shen Dongzhan sneered.
Nosy?
Come on, the one who likes to be nosy the most should be her Su Mu, right? yelled in his mouth, told him not to meddle in his affairs, and in the end she quietly did it, and it was she who did it quietly!
Su Mu's words have never been credible.
Whoever believes, he is unlucky.
"There is His Royal Highness King Rui in Yucheng, if we intervene, we will go against King Rui at that time, and Dongchang doesn't want to be an enemy of King Rui." Su Mu stood with his hands in his hands, "If Commander Shen wants to try, it doesn't matter, I will definitely not stop it." β
Shen Dongzhan didn't speak.
The four of them returned to the courtyard in silence, each going back to his room, thinking about it.
Close the door.
Zhou Nan couldn't hold back, "Master, it's a dead eunuch again, and it has something to do with the palace." As long as they investigate carefully in the East Factory, if there are any palace people lost, they will find out the truth, but it is not so easy for us to investigate, and the East Factory will never tell us the real news. β
"I know." Shen Dongzhan knew it.
Zhou Nan sighed, "Then what should we do?" I really don't care about this? β
"I'm not interested in Aunt Song and the death of this man, but the waste person in Beiyuan, I really want to know who she is? For Shang Yuan, that woman is really important. Shen Dongzhan wanted to know more, what did Su Mu take from that woman that day?
It's a pity that the mouth of the East Factory is too tight, and it is not easy to take out something from the mouth of the Fan Zi of the East Factory.
"Speaking of this, the lowly party just looked, Su Qianhu didn't know what he took?" Zhou Nan touched his chin and thought to himself.
Shen Dongzhan didn't pay attention, "What?" β
"It was when I was in the morgue that I saw that Su Qianhu seemed to have moved a little bit and touched something from the dead man to go back." Therefore, Zhou Nan is sometimes useful, focusing on things that others can't see.
Shen Dongzhan was stunned, "What did you touch?" β
"It's too dark to see clearly, but there must be something!" Zhou Nan saw it really, Su Mu did it.
Moreover, that damn Nian Xiu also deliberately took cover.
It's a pity that he hid from his family's commander, not from his Zhou Nan's eyes!
"Bastard, why didn't you say it earlier?" Shen Dongzhan walked away.
Zhou Nan was stunned, "Hey, hey, ......"
"Don't follow!" Shen Dongzhan didn't look back.
Zhou Nan stood in place, "Angry, angry? β
Not really, right?
Shen Dongzhan wasn't angry, but Zhou Nan couldn't hold his breath, so when he went to Su Mu, he was not happy to take Zhou Nan with him, so as not to cause bad things!
Su Mu was not in his room, but went to find Shu Yun.
"Master!" Shu Yun slept for a day, and he couldn't sleep at night, and when he saw Su Mu enter the room, he was a little nervous, and he didn't know what to say, but he blushed slightly, and didn't dare to raise his head to meet Su Mu's eyes.
Nian Xiu moved a stool in front of the bed.
Su Mu brushed his sleeves and sat down, "Seeing that the lights in your house are still on, come over and have a look?" Why haven't you slept yet? Can't stand the leg pain? β
"It's not!" Shu Yun hurriedly shook his head, "Did you sleep too long during the day, so you couldn't sleep at night?" I'm still worried about my legs, I'm really damned! Master, why didn't you sleep? β
Su Mu tugged at the corners of his lips, "A little worried." β
"Master in trouble?" Shu Yun understood, "Can the slave help?" β
Su Mu's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Your father is a doctor, you can bring back the Soul Restoration Grass and suspend my poisonous hair, you must really know some medical science." β
"The slave has been helping in my father's hospital since I was a child, and my father will teach him well, I dare not say that my medical skills are exquisite, but I also know a little about fur." Shu Yun's expression was sincere, "Master, are you because of the poisonous ...... on your body?"
Su Mu lowered his eyes, "Do you know what kind of poison I have?" β
"The slave is brave, and she has tested it in private, and she is from the Five Poison Sect." Shu Yun whispered, and he was afraid that Su Mu would not believe it, so he hurriedly said, "The slave has not told anyone about this matter, please rest assured." β
Su Mu smiled, "Don't be nervous, I'll ask casually." β
The year of cultivation on the side is terrifying.
Where is this casually asked, their grandfather's temper......
What you shouldn't know, if you know, it will never keep you; But if you are kept, you will need to pay the corresponding price!
If Shu Yun behaves well, he can still live alone, but if he doesn't perform well, there are many ways to stay by his side, such as...... Missing arms and legs, unable to move freely.
"If you are free, see what kind of poison it is." Su Mu placed a porcelain vase next to her pillow, "Believe it, you can do it." β
After speaking, Su Mu got up, and carefully tucked the quilt for Shu Yun before leaving.
Shu Yun lay on the bed and watched Su Mu turn around and leave.
Inside, the room was quiet again.
The candle flame occasionally popped up two candle flowers, and the explosion sounded "beep and beep".
Shu Yun stretched out his hand and held the porcelain bottle next to the pillow, not knowing what it contained, but this was requested by Su Mu, she would definitely do it, now ...... Su Mu is her master.
Legs, still hurt.
Thinking of the scene of rolling down the mountain that day, Shu Yun still has palpitations, but fortunately, the Soul Restoration Grass Committee has an effect on the poison on Su Mu's body, and it is not in vain.
Out of Shu Yun's house, Nian Xiu followed closely behind Su Mu.
"Master, are you sure Shu Yun can detect what kind of poison this is?" Nian Xiu was a little unconvinced, at the beginning of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, Dr. Lin might not be able to find out the poison and its source.
Who is Shu Yun?
The daughter of a country doctor.
Such a woman, even if she knows some books of ambiguity, she only knows a little about the skin, although she can detoxify the poison of poisons, but it is not surprising that she can solve the problems of the rivers and lakes.
"Master, are you testing her?" Nian Xiu thought about it, and it seemed that there was only this possibility.
Su Mu stood under the eaves, looking at the lanterns that were blown from side to side by the wind, the light flickered on her face, and the inky pupils were surging with sharp light, "If her father is really ...... The Shu Huaiyuan I know, then she can! β
Shu Huaiyuan?
Nian Xiu was stunned, Shu Yun's father was so powerful?
"Master, then you deliberately revealed the news to King Rui, did you want to avenge Shu Yun through King Rui's hand?" This is the only thing that Nian Xiu can think of.
Su Mu didn't speak, just stared at the wall fixedly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Nian Xiu didn't dare to speak again.
In fact, many times, Nian Xiu could feel the heaviness in Su Mu's heart, like a person guarding an old box, even if it was covered with dust, he didn't want anyone to snoop on it.
"Let people stare at Shu Yun." Su Mu brushed his sleeves and went back to the room.
Nian Xiu's head was raised, "The slave understands!" β
In the dark, Shen Dongzhan hid her figure, but she really didn't expect that Shu Yun would have such a big role, if she sincerely stayed in Dongchang, I am afraid that she would become Su Mu's right-hand man?
However, Shen Dongzhan also wanted to know, what kind of poison is this?
"Don't be a crane top red, right?" Shen Dongzhan held the sword in his arms and whispered softly.
At the beginning, Aunt Song was a crane top red, if it wasn't a crane top red, it would be a coincidence, if it was also a crane top red, then there would be a big trouble here!
It turns out that Shen Dongzhan's mouth is a bit dark! Early the next morning, Shu Yun sent the results to Su Mu.
"Crane top red?" Su Mu casually threw the bun on the table.
Yes, like Aunt Song in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, she died of the same poison, which is troublesome, both of them knelt on the ground, and both of them were hit by the crane top red, and the seven orifices bled to death.
One is pregnant, the other is a eunuch.
What's the stake here?
If you can't find the key, you can't figure out where the commonality between these two people is, that is to say, it is impossible to find the clue of that person, and if you can't catch the murderer, you can only let the murderer follow them all the time and continue to kill silently.
"It's Heding Red, that's right." Shu Yun was afraid that Su Mu would not believe it, "I'm worried that you won't believe it, so the slave asked everyone to help overnight last night, and specially made a little crane top red for you." β
Nian Xiu's eyes widened, "Do you think this is the food?" Freshly made! β
"I'm ......," Shu Yun pursed his lips, "so that we can compare." β
Su Mu stretched out his hand to take it, the white porcelain bottle contained the poisonous blood she gave last night, and the blue porcelain bottle was Shu Yun's "freshly made" crane top red.
"The time is too short to do much, so it's the limit." Shu Yun explained, "This thing is highly poisonous, and you don't dare to contaminate it, as long as the dosage is accurate, you can see blood sealing the throat." β
Su Mu narrowed his eyes, "I saw blood and sealed my throat, but those who died were all bleeding from the seven orifices......"
"That's because of the dosage." Shu Yun hurriedly explained, "If you grasp a certain amount of dosage, you can make people die in pain, and the seven orifices will bleed to death." β
Nian Xiu was stunned, "You mean, the seven orifices bleed...... Painful? β
"That's nature." Shu Yun said, "Although I still die in the end, and the process will not be too long, but a little bit of poison will stir the organs, and it will be extremely painful." β
Let Aunt Song and the man named Zhao Cai die in pain, and then at the moment of death, put on a posture of heavenly punishment, how ruthless and hateful must this be, to torture them like this?
"Why, kill these two people?" Su Mu rubbed his eyebrows.
Nian Xiu couldn't figure it out.
Outside the door, Shen Dongzhan and Zhou Nan also had no clue, so they had to look at each other.
Aunt Song and Zhao Cai, one is the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and the other is a down-and-out eunuch...... Obviously, the sun is so good outside, but it can't warm people's hearts.
Su Mu stood at the window for a long time, so long that it was ...... Shen Dongzhan's appearance blocked all the light and enveloped her under his shadow, which seemed to be a little out of control, making her feel very unhappy.
"What does Commander Shen want to do?" Su Mu asked.
Shen Dongzhan said, "King Rui is in Chashuyun. β
"Distressed?" Su Mu hooked his lips.
Shen Dongzhan: "?? β
"That being the case, as a word of advice, Commander Shen still took Shu Yun as soon as possible, lest he not even be able to catch the bones and slag when he got it!" Su Mu's eyes were clear and provocative.
Shen Dongzhan took a deep breath, "I ......"
"I know that Commander Shen has a fiancΓ©e, but taking a concubine must not be a problem." The corners of Su Mu's eyes raised slightly, "What's the matter, I'm afraid of guilt before I get married?" β
Shen Dongzhan suddenly felt that discussing the length and weakness with the eunuch was really playing the piano to the cow, and without the roots of a man, he would be like a woman, and he really didn't talk more than half a sentence!
Su Mu naturally couldn't get down to business with him, it was a matter of confidentiality, and if he said too much, he would lose it.
"Ledger ......"
"Naturally, I will give it to you, and I will talk about it after leaving Yucheng first." Su Mu didn't give him a chance to speak.
Shen Dongzhan glanced at her left shoulder, and Su Mu didn't start, as if he was unconsciously covering the wound.
The injury is not healed, and I can't run!
Shen Dongzhan finally didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
Now, King Rui has begun to check the details of Shuyun, and Shen Dongzhan has to take a look.
It's not that I'm afraid that King Rui will find out something, but Shen Dongzhan himself is also curious, Su Mu is not a good person, and it is absolutely impossible to do that kind heart and take in orphan girls.
Leaving Shu Yun must have another purpose!
Only, what is the purpose of this?
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Guogong Mansion.
Li Jue also wanted to know why Su Mu would bring an orphan girl into the East Factory.
"Martial Arts League?" Li Jue looked at Qing'an, "Jianghu vendetta? β
Qing'an bowed his head, "That's right, the vendetta of the rivers and lakes, the whole family, no one left." β
Li Jue played with the beautiful jade in his hand, his eyebrows and eyes were still the same, "What about the background?" β
"The family runs a medical clinic, and my father is a doctor, named Shu Huaiyuan." Qing'an replied truthfully, "Miss Shuyun has a gentle temperament, it is said that her father has benefited the township and saved many people, but it is a pity that he saved people who should not be saved, so that the whole family was chased and killed by the Wulin League, and he was so down, fortunately Su Qianhu rescued him, and he could be regarded as picking up a life." β
Li Jue's eyebrows condensed slightly, "Dongchang doesn't leave waste, if it's useless, Su Mu won't bring her back to Yindu, otherwise she won't be able to pass Luan Sheng's level." What are the strengths of this woman? β
"I know how to heal." Qing'an explained.
Li Jue shook his head, "No, no!" There is no shortage of people in the East Factory, Luan Sheng has attracted a lot of strange people on the rivers and lakes, some are miracle doctors and ghost doctors, how can it be rare to be a female streamer? The grass head doctor is just that, why bother? β
Who is Su Mu?
Ruthless eunuchs!
How is it possible to be soft-hearted and merciful to a country woman?
"Shu Huaiyuan, Shu Yun?" Li Jue frowned, "This father and daughter must be different, otherwise Su Mu wouldn't be like this, continue to investigate!" β
Qing'an bowed, "The slave understands, it's just ...... Your Highness, why do you have to find out about this woman? You just want to win over Dongchang, why bother so much, with your identity ......"
"You know!" Li Jue reprimanded, "Luan Sheng, that old fox, is suspicious by nature, no one believes it, this king wants to win over Dongchang, I don't know how much effort it takes, but if you can start from Su Mu, it will be much easier!" β
Su Mu is Luan Sheng's righteous son and the second-in-command of the East Factory.
As long as Su Mu is wooed, it is equivalent to restraining Luan Sheng and controlling half of the East Factory.
Qing'an bowed his head, "The slave is foolish, Your Highness forgives your sins!" β
"My father trusts Luan Sheng, and which side the East Factory stands on is very important to the future of this king." Li Jue said coldly, "Go and investigate, no matter how difficult it is for this woman named Shu Yun, even with three generations of ancestors, she must be dug out by this king!" β
"Yes!"
Li Jue doesn't believe in evil, how difficult can it be to find a woman?
However, it turns out that some things are really difficult, such as the three generations of the Shu family...... Except for Shu Yun's father, who is called Shu Huaiyuan, who moved to a small mountain village more than ten years ago, as for where his family is and what its origin is, no one really knows.
The so-called three generations of ancestors are only, starting from Shu Huaiyuan's deceased mother and ending with Shu Yun.
Now, the people of the Shu family are dead.
All the news, that's all.
In the afternoon, news came from outside the Guogong Mansion, saying that Su Mu had come to say goodbye.
"Farewell?" Li Jue stretched out his hand to push away the beauty beside him, got up and walked outside.
Su Mu stood at the side door of the Guogong Mansion, in the final analysis, she was just a minion, serving people's things, and she was not qualified to go to the main gate of the Guogong Mansion, so she could only wait at the side door.
"Going?" Li Jue walked out quickly.
Su Mu hurriedly saluted, "If you go back to Your Highness, Yin Du has news, you have to rush back as soon as possible!" Because His Royal Highness ordered him to come to the Guogong Mansion when he left, the servants hurried to standby. β
"Come in first!" Li Jue turned around.
Su Mu hesitated for a moment and hurried to follow.
Yucheng Liu, surname.
The lintel of the Guogong Mansion is so glorious.
"My grandfather is sick these days, so you don't have to see him." Li Jue slowly spoke, "Su Mu, are you done with your errand in Yucheng?" β
Su Mu replied respectfully, "Yes! β
Entering the flower hall, Li Jue glanced at Su Mu, who was bowing to the side, pointed to the row of chairs next to her, and motioned for her to sit down.
"Your Highness!" Su Mu didn't dare to refuse.
After the people below finished serving tea, Li Jue said, "This king has found some exquisite gadgets in Yucheng, thinking that my grandfather has been unwell recently and dare not leave the side, so you should go back to the palace." β
Qing'an went out quickly, and Xu Yi led a group of minions in.
Several large boxes, the sound is not light when it lands, and it can be seen that the weight is not light.
The lid is open, and the light is shining.
Yellow and white things, gold and silver jewelry.
It's full of dazzling and full of them.
Li Jue looked at her meaningfully, "These things will be handed over to Su Qianhu." β
Su Mu saluted, "The slave will definitely be sent to Concubine Rou's hands." β
"No, these are for Su Qianhu." Li Jue smiled, "Does Su Qianhu understand what this king means?" β
Su Mu understood.
However, I cannot accept it.
Take people with short hands and eat people with soft mouths.
"Please forgive your sins!" Su Mu knelt on the ground, "The overseer has an order, whoever dares to accept bribes privately, he will be killed!" β
The smile on the corner of Li Jue's lips gradually dissipated, he slowly stood up, and looked at Su Mu condescendingly, "This is Yucheng, if this king doesn't say it, if you don't say it, how will Luan Sheng know?" Loyal to this king, the glory and wealth will not be enjoyed in the future, what's the harm? β
"Please Your Highness Mingjian, Su Mu is a servant of the emperor, and he is only loyal to the emperor!" She lowered her eyebrows, and the oil and salt did not enter.
Li Jue wrapped his back molars, stubborn!
"Su Mu." Li Jue sneered, "You have a meritorious service in saving the driver in front of the palace, and your father values you very much, but Su Mu, you are so willing...... Inferior to others? β
Su Mu's eyebrows trembled slightly.
"Su Mu, this king can help you sit on the position of factory governor of the East Factory." Li Jue's tone is bewitching, he doesn't believe it, money is not moved, and power ...... Nor moving.
Su Mu pursed his lips and raised his head slowly, "Your Highness, just rest assured, about the matter of Yucheng's heavenly punishment, after the slave returns to the palace, he will never say more than half a word in front of the emperor." β
In an instant, Li Jue's complexion was blue and white, and it was difficult to see the extreme.
Nian Xiu had been waiting outside the side door, and when he saw Su Mu exiting unharmed, he hurried to meet him, "Master, are you okay?" β
"It's fine!" Su Mu's back was cold, and he didn't dare to look back, "Hurry up!" β
