Duan Peng has been restless for the past few days, whether he has done what he asked Wang Ke to do, sent someone out to inquire, but none of them came back.

A group of waste, Duan Peng scolded secretly. Suddenly, a figure appeared and knocked him unconscious.

"Ah Sneeze" was in the Deserted Tomb King, but a sneeze woke himself up, looked at the place where he slept, ran away while crying, and ran directly to the government to turn himself in, explained what he had done clearly, and begged them to arrest him, but it was the first time that the people in the government encountered this kind of thing, and temporarily imprisoned the person and sent two people to investigate.

Mu Xing arrived in Luoyue Town early in the morning, accompanied by Duan Hao, the head of the Duan family, Duan Hao asked people to check when he received the news, and the result made him ashamed and angry, his good sister.

If it hadn't been for the two days of delay in dealing with those messes, he would have gone to Mu's house to plead guilty.

The Duan family and the Shen family are the two most influential families in Yunzhou City, and they also play a pivotal role in the commercial economy of the empire. The Duan family made a fortune by water transportation, and did many good deeds for the benefit of the country and the people, and was quite valued by the above.

The Duan family's family is in the imperial capital of Star Swirl, and the ancestral house is in Yunzhou City, after the development of Duan Peng, after repairing the ancestral house, he took the family to Yunzhou City, he himself has been running around all year round, and he can't stay for a few days before he comes back, so he has no idea what Duan Wei and Duan Peng are doing.

Duan Wei has been spoiled as a lawless and arrogant person since she was a child, and when her brother was not at home, the Duan family became her world.

Duan Wei, who is nearly forty years old, is lazy and lazy, spends extravagantly, and oppresses her sister-in-law and nieces and nephews.

Duan Hao came back this time because Duan Wei's birthday had arrived, and he didn't expect Duan Wei to prepare such a big surprise for him.

Mujia main hall.

"Master Mu, Duan is really ashamed of your family's affairs." Duan Hao's face was hard to hide.

Duan Hao went south and north, saw strong winds and waves, and did not have the slightest swagger, he bent down to apologize to Mu Qinghan, he got acquainted with many big people, and knew that the Mu family was not as ordinary as it seemed on the surface, so he had no bottom in his heart, but he had to go on this trip because of reason.

"Brother Duan, I can't help it, I can't help it" Mu Qinghan helped Duan Hao up and asked him to sit down.

Brother Duan made Duan Hao instantly understand Mu Qinghan's character, and his hanging heart was also relaxed.

Looking at Duan Hao with a pale face in front of him, Mu Qinghan didn't feel good in his heart, he admired Duan Hao's personality very much, Duan Peng was Duan Peng, Duan Hao was Duan Hao, he didn't confuse the two.

"Brother Mu, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation today, Duan Peng, no, it should be called Wu Peng, he is no longer a member of my Duan family, no matter how you deal with him, I will not interfere"

"With Brother Duan's words, I am relieved, Wu Peng and I do have some grievances that need to be resolved."

As he was talking, Mu Jing came in with two officials.

"Dad, these two officials have something important to look for you."

Mu Qinghan looked at the two officials, both of whom were acquaintances, one was named Zhou Ting and the other was Lu Feng, and the last time the Mu family caught fire, these two people handled the investigation.

"Master Mu, can you know Wang Ke and Liu Jie?" Zhou Ting asked.

"Acquaintance, it's two guys from my shop"

"We are here for these two people......" Then Zhou Ting told everyone about Wang Ke's surrender this morning.

"Wang Ke said that he killed Liu Jie, but we went to the place where he said and did not find the body."

"I know about this," Mu Qinghan paused, "Liu Jie is not dead, he was rescued by us, but his injuries were too serious, so I sent him back to his hometown." Mu Qinghan told the ins and outs of the whole thing to a few people present.

Zhou Ting and the others didn't expect things to be like this, thinking of Wang Ke's pitiful appearance in the morning, they couldn't help but sigh that poor people must have something to hate.

"There is one more thing, we would like to inform you in advance, regarding the death of the old master of the Mu family, Wang Ke told us that it seems to be inseparable from the person named Wu Peng."

"What" Several people exclaimed at the same time, Mu Qinghan was even more excited, thirteen years ago, Mu Zhengping, the old master of the Mu family, suddenly fell ill, and he didn't see the reason for inviting the doctor, they all said that he was exhausted and overly sad, he really didn't expect that it had something to do with Wu Peng.

"Master Mu, don't get excited, I hope you can hand this matter over to the government to solve, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." Zhou Ting knew about Mu Qinghan, he was afraid that Mu Qinghan would not be able to help but kill Wu Peng, and then the matter would be difficult to do.

At this time, Mu Er came in with a box and handed it to Zhou Ting.

"This is what I got from Qian Xu, it will help you solve the case."

Zhou Ting opened it and found that there were several letters and a sand pot for decoction of medicine, and when he opened the letter, he immediately understood everything when he saw the content.

Presented the letter to Mu Qinghan, Mu Qinghan's eyes were split, what a Wu Peng, what a Qian family!

Several letters wrote that Qian Xu found out that Wu Peng had drugged Mu Zhengping, and stole the medicine pot and hid it, but he didn't expect Wu Peng to be developed, so Qian Xu thought of using this as a threat and kept asking Wu Peng for money.

Later, Wu Peng paid a lot of money to let Qian Xu set fire to the Mu family, but he didn't expect the Mu family to escape.

"Master Mu, with these, we can go directly to arrest Wu Peng."

"You don't have to go, Wu Peng is at the door, you can just take it with you when you go back." Mu Er added.

Lu Feng wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhou Ting.

"In that case, then we'll take our leave." Zhou Ting clenched his fists, saw Mu Qinghan nodding, and pulled Lu Feng away.

Duan Hao didn't expect Wu Peng to be a murderer, and he was also afraid, this kind of person stayed by his side, maybe he would die in the next moment, blame him for not knowing people clearly, and looked at Mu Qinghan and apologized.

"Zhou Ting, why don't you let me say it, what are you afraid of?" Lu Feng went out before he said his doubts.

"Do you think this Mu family is really a person who opens a woodware shop? Didn't you notice that our adults had to salute when they saw him" Zhou Ting glanced at Lu Feng, this kid had no eyesight.

When Lu Feng heard Zhou Ting say this, he remembered such a thing, and suddenly realized, and looked at the courtyard of the Mu family, this adult is really special.

When the two arrived at the door, they saw a man who was unconscious like a ball tied to the door, and a stick was placed next to him, and he didn't wake up Wu Peng for a long time, so the two had no choice but to carry him back.

Mu Er reported the information obtained from the investigation in the past few days to Mu Qinghan, and Mu Ling asked him to focus on investigating the connection between Wu Peng and Qian Xu, and he followed Qian Xu for three days before discovering the clues.

Qian Xu often stood at the big locust tree in his yard, didn't do anything, just stood quietly like that, Mu Er went to look for it, but didn't find anything useful, just last night, the wind blew down a thin rope, Mu Er pulled it, and a box fell from the tree, which was the one Zhou Ting took away.

And Qian Xu was beaten by Mu Ling and thrown at the gate of the official mansion, it is estimated that he has been found now.

Thinking of Qian Xu's miserable appearance, Mu Er had a toothache, and then remembered Mu Ling's expressionless punch and punch, which made him even more toothache, and covered his mouth to say goodbye to Mu Qinghan.

Today's government office is particularly lively, the prisoners appear one by one, so that the county lieutenant and officials are caught off guard, interrogation and detention, because the evidence is conclusive, the prisoners also admit the crimes they have committed, so the case is quickly dealt with.

Qian Xu and Wang Ke were both exiled to work as coolies in attempted murder, building roads and logging trees, and the second half of their lives were frozen.

Wu Peng, as the mastermind behind a series of scenes, was punished much more cruelly than those two, because he was involved in a murder case more than ten years ago, so it would take a month before he could be hanged.

In the cell, Wu Peng had just been bullied by several prisoners, and he never figured out how his plan was discovered.

"Hey, new here, someone came to see you, tell you better be honest" One of the jailers tapped the stick in his hand with a fierce expression.

turned around and changed his face again, and looked at Mu Qinghan and Mu Zhijuan flatteringly, "Master Mu, Mrs. Mu, please inside." ”

Mu Qinghan nodded, and Mu Zhijuan took out a silver coin and put it in the jailer's hand.

"This, how embarrassing this is," he said and retreated knowingly.

Mu Qinghan and the others walked in front of Wu Peng, Wu Peng didn't seem to want them to see him like this, so he kept covering his face and didn't dare to look up.

"Why? Why would you do that? Mu Zhijuan looked at Wu Peng with red eyes, thinking of the two of them as children, and the grief in her heart was indescribable.

Wu Peng was silent, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking.

Mu Zhijuan couldn't hold back anymore at this time, and cried in a low voice, her favorite and most respected father was actually poisoned by the beautiful and gentle brother in her memory.

"Have we ever felt sorry for you?" Mu Zhijuan cried and asked again.

"You speak, don't you speak? Why don't you say a word now? Do you dare to do it? You're a coward, and you are! Mu Zhijuan saw that he didn't react at all, she was extremely angry, and her sharp voice echoed in the cell, quieting all the prisoners for a while.

"None of you are sorry for me, it's because I'm too greedy and want more, it's because I'm jealous of the relationship between you and Mu Qinghan, why? I knew you before him, and you chose him over me in the end, didn't you keep saying you wanted to marry me when you were young? You forgot, but I didn't! Why! I'm going to be ruined, I can't get anyone else! Don't! Wu Peng suddenly rushed to the door of the cell and shouted at Mu Zhijuan.

Mu Zhijuan was speechless for a moment, is all this because of her? Is her father's death also because of this? Thinking about it, I fell into deep self-blame.

"Are you really doing this because of her? Do you think too much of yourself? Mu Qinghan took Mu Zhijuan into his arms with one hand and looked at Wu Peng with contempt.

"If it's really for her, why did you answer no when he asked you that sentence in the first place; Why did you leave her alone when she was most upset? Why do you do things that hurt her over and over again? Now don't lie to her anymore, don't deceive yourself anymore, you, Wu Peng, don't love anyone, only you love yourself. ”

Mu Zhijuan in his arms was also stunned, stopped sobbing, and looked at Mu Qinghan in shock, it turned out that he knew everything!
