Chapter 43: Rumors Spread (2)
"Look, it's out, it's out!"
A large group of people gathered at the door, and when they saw Mu Ling open the door, they all took a step back vigilantly.
"I can't see that she did something like that!"
A woman said "in a whisper", looking like she was watching a good show.
"How old she's now, I don't think it's likely." One person was skeptical, but her words were quickly drowned out by others.
"Her hair isn't white!" A man looked at Mu Ling's black hair and said.
"There must be some method to cover it, don't be fooled by her appearance!" The people around him kindly persuaded him.
Mu Ling is very worried about Su Lan now, and she doesn't have time to discuss the truth with these people, she just wants to go through the crowd to Su's house.
But the road was blocked by people, and they just wouldn't let Mu Ling pass.
"Hey, little girl, you see, people have already found it, so you don't mean it?" A man points to a midwife who delivered the baby.
Mu Ling looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, there was a woman sitting there sadly.
Mu Ling recognized her, it was the woman named Xiuying, there were two people who delivered Mu Ling at the beginning, and this woman was one of them.
"My poor grandson, you're gone before you're born......" the woman began to howl at the sight of Mu Ling.
Mu Yi also came out of the door and said to the woman who was still howling: "Mrs. Li, yes, come with me to the county governor's mansion, whether it is true or not, I have the county lieutenant to judge, sitting here, I can't solve the problem!" You say yes! ”
Mu Yi looked at Li Xiuying's eyes for a moment, but the other party didn't dare to look at him, he~ Sure enough, there was a ghost in his heart!
"No, no, I'm not going, why should I go to the county lieutenant?" Li Xiuying shook her head vigorously, thinking about words in her heart.
"Okay, do you Mu family want the county lieutenant to arrest me so that I can shut my mouth!" Li Xiuying pointed at Mu Yi, her face full of grief.
"Do you think the county lieutenant can arrest people whenever he wants? What do you think of the law of the stars and moons? What do you think of my Mu family? Can you discredit my Mu family with just your words? Or you don't dare to go at all! ”
Mu Yi's words shocked Li Xiuying, and I didn't know what to say for most of the day.
"Your Mu family has a big business, what does an old woman fight with you, sure enough, the people of the Mu family and the dog are not educated."
A young man in gray walked out of the crowd, helped Li Xiuying up, and retorted to Mu Yi.
"You ......" Mu Yi just wanted to speak, but he heard Mu Ling's voice beside him.
"How can it be the turn of an outsider to judge the people of my Mu family, this son, I see that you are very educated, my Mu family still lacks a janitor, I don't know if the son is interested!"
"You...... Who do you say is a dog?!! ”
The gray-clothed man was angry when he heard Mu Ling's words, and his face immediately turned red, although he was also a subordinate, but he was the most taboo for others to say that he was a dog.
"I didn't say that Childe is a dog, Childe don't want to sit in the right seat! How could I be embarrassed to let Childe stoop over to be a dog, but...... If Childe is willing, it's okay, this treatment, how about two bones a day? Mu Ling stood still and replied with a smile.
"You !!" The gray-clothed man's face turned red with anger, and he glared at Mu Ling angrily.
"Look at Childe's face, it's not from Falling Moon Town. I don't know why Childe came to Falling Moon Town! What is your relationship with this woman? Mu Ling changed the subject.
"I, what do I have to explain to you? Who do you think you are? I can't get used to you bullying an old man, can't you? When the man in gray heard this, he was even more angry.
"It's okay, don't talk about it now, then let's go to the court and say, don't blame me then."
"Why? Why should I go with you? The man in gray was a little wary.
"It's really unfortunate, just now my Mu family lost a treasure, it is worth a fortune, there are as many as 100,000 gold coins, I suspect, everyone present is suspicious, after all, you have been at the door of Mu family since just now, so many people, there will definitely be one who is the thief, you say yes?" Mu Ling made a heartache look.
"Muyi!" Mu Ling didn't wait for the people on the other side to speak, and then said.
"In"
"Go to the official and say that our Mu family has lost a treasure worth 100,000 gold coins, and the thief has been caught on the spot, so let the county lieutenant send someone to catch it"
"Yes" Mu Yi smiled, the eldest lady is getting more and more interesting now.
Those people on the other side panicked, 100,000 gold coins? Even if you sell all the people present, you can't get so much money, and they all want to leave, but they find that they can't move, and they are full of fear for Mu Ling.
"You...... You monster! You let us go!! People shouted loudly with their legs on their legs.
Mu Ling plucked his ears and shrugged, "You can go if you want, I'm just a little girl, how can I bear you?" ”
Monster? I'm sorry, she's such a little monster.
Mu Ling's eyes skimmed the people who peeked behind the door, and he wanted to come out to see it, but suddenly, the gate collapsed, and it was suddenly torn apart, and Mu Qinghan and the others at the door looked at each other.
"I'm sorry, I don't know who it was just now, and I knocked down the door of our Mu family, this door also has ten gold coins, but it's mahogany!"
"Why do you say we did it, we obviously didn't do anything!"
"Yes! We don't recognize it! ”
"Yes, why do you say we are thieves?"
People began to shirk and say as innocent as they were.
Mu Ling chuckled.
"What are you laughing at, are you doing it right!" Someone in the crowd shouted.
"What did I do? I've been standing here since the beginning, and why, you ask me? Then why do I have to ask you? Say I'm an ominous person? What is the evidence? Say I'm borrowing someone else's life? Come up with evidence, don't have a pair of bruises and white teeth to casually slander people. ”
Mu Ling touched his nose and felt a little funny, what happened more than ten years ago is now coming to the gate of the house to shout injustice, these townspeople actually believe these nonsense, and the people behind the scenes are quite good at using public opinion.
No one had ever seen Mu Ling do something bad, and they had always been the one who benefited, but now they were dominated by rumors and ignored it.
Now no matter what the Mu family says or explains, it is pale and powerless, so Mu Ling came up with this trick.
After a while, Zhou Ting came with people, and all the people present were invited to the county governor's mansion.
"Grandpa, I'll take care of the rest."
Mu Ling turned his head and winked at Mu Qinghan, Mu Qinghan didn't expect Mu Ling to come out like this, and gave Mu Ling a thumbs up in his heart.
Mu Ling came to Su's house and met Su Ziting, who was waiting anxiously at the door.
"Mumu, you're here." Seeing Mu Ling, Su Ziting's eyes suddenly turned red.
"What's wrong? What happened to Lan Lan? Mu Ling took her hand and said.
"Let's talk as we go!"
Things have to start with Su Lan going to the ready-to-wear store yesterday to hand over the jewelry, Su Ziting originally wanted to accompany her, but because some things were delayed, Su Lan went alone, but an hour passed quickly, and she didn't come back, which made Su Ziting feel bad.
Su's house was not far from the ready-to-wear store, and a cup of tea was there, so she and a few brothers went to look for her, and finally found Su Lan, who was beaten unconscious, in an alley.
Since Su Lan woke up, she has been crying and not talking, not eating, and refusing to see anyone, so Su Ziting asked someone to find Mu Ling.
"Do you know who did it?" Mu Ling grimaced.
Su Ziting shook her head, "I invited a doctor to come and said, saying that she didn't get that." But Su Lan didn't see anyone, and she couldn't listen to anything we said. ”
Mu Ling nodded slightly, even though she was only stripped naked, it was enough to traumatize a girl.
The two of them came to the door of Su Lan's room.
"Lan Lan, are you there? Mu Mu is here, can you open the door? Su Ziting knocked on the door.
There was no sound inside, Mu Ling smelled a smell of blood, kicked the door open, and found Su Lan lying on the table, his wrist in the basin, and the water inside was completely red.
"Lan Lan!" Su Ziting covered her mouth.
"Call the doctor, I'll leave it here." Mu Ling put Su Lan on the bed and said to Su Ziting, who was standing in place.
Su Ziting came back to her senses and ran out to call someone.
Mu Ling was glad that she had brought the medicine with her, and after disinfection, she was sprinkled with medicine to stop bleeding, and after she was bandaged, the people of the Su family also arrived.
"Mu Ling, how is she?" The first to come was Su Man, Su Ziting's mother, looking at Su Lan's haggard appearance, she was very sad.
"It's bandaged, wait for the doctor to come!" Mu Ling covered Su Lan with a quilt.
Su Yan and Su Miao also came, looking at Su Lan's appearance, they clenched their fists.
"Where did Su Lan find it at that time?" Mu Ling walked up to Su Yan and asked.
"At the end of Baihua Lane" Su Yan looked at Mu Ling, a little stunned in his heart, he had never seen Mu Ling so angry.
"I'll leave it to you here, I'll come back later," Mu Ling finished and walked out.
All the way to the end of Baihua Lane, after looking around for a long time, I found a small wooden man, for some reason, the wooden man made her a little familiar.
With the wooden man, Mu Ling came to the sweet water shop opposite Baihua Lane again.
"Brother shopkeeper, I would like to ask you something!"
"What's the matter? Little girl. "The owner of the shop is a simple-looking little brother, and when he saw Mu Ling looking for him, he was a little puzzled.
"Yesterday afternoon, did you see anyone in the alley opposite, a girl, a little taller than me, wearing blue clothes."
"Hmm...... I want to think about it," the little brother touched his head and recalled seriously.
"Yes, there was a noise on the opposite side yesterday, and I didn't look at the customers who came to buy things in the shop, as if a few people had gone in," the little brother patted his head and said.
"Do you see who it is?" Mu Ling then asked.
"I'll think again...... It's a familiar one," the little brother thought with a frown.
"I think of it, it's Liu Dacheng! Liu Dacheng's son! As soon as Liu Dacheng came to him, the topic of the little brother came, and he told Mu Ling a lot of things about the Liu family.
Mu Ling has been searching for Liu Dacheng's memories in her mind, she is somewhat familiar, and those memories can't be grasped if she wants to.
"Big brother, thank you" Mu Ling put down a silver coin and went out
"You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome" The little brother was a little embarrassed to see this.
Mu Ling walked on the road, slowly recalling, Liu Dacheng she should have never seen it, but why is it so familiar?
Mu Ling suddenly stopped, she remembered!
