Text Chapter 546 Who Gets First
"It's you!"
"It's you!"
Both groups of men and horses exclaimed at the same time.
Mo You glared at the person in front of him and asked again, "Qu Yuexuan, why are you here?" β
In addition to the surprise at the beginning, Qu Yuexuan returned to her usual hanging, and asked back with a hippie smile: "I should have asked why Lord Mo appeared here, right?"
As the head of the internal guard, Lord Mo trespassed into the palace of the imperial court minister in the middle of the night, isn't he afraid of attracting criticism?
Especially, at times like these! β
The meaningful words made Mo You's face look over again, but there was no way to refute it.
It is true that the internal guard can do a lot of things, and can even make the ministers of the DPRK and China change color, but they have also become the target of public criticism.
No matter what the internal guards do, who they obey and act, they will be counted on Emperor Mo Junyu in the end.
Therefore, Mo You has been secretly monitoring and does not dare to act rashly.
But now that Luo Zixuan's situation is unknown, if he doesn't take action, he is afraid that he will be the first to take the lead.
Mo You didn't care so much, and he didn't have time to deal with Qu Yuexuan, so he simply ignored the other party and gave orders directly to his subordinates.
"Let's go inside!"
However, before the internal guard could act, he was blocked by Qu Yuexuan's people.
Qu Yuexuan also came to spy on Luo Zixuan and look for the will that he didn't know existed, but he was not in a hurry at all.
He continued leisurely: "Lord Mo led people to trespass into Lord Luo's mansion late at night, and if you don't explain the reason, I can't let you disturb Lord Luo's rest. β
Mo You slapped Qu Yuexuan's hand away angrily, and said angrily: "Qu Yuexuan, you ask knowingly. Don't think I don't know you're looking for that decree too. I won't let you get away with it! β
Qu Yuexuan said unhurriedly: "I am friends with Lord Luo, and I am only here to protect Lord Luo's safety in case he is attacked by traitors." β
Anyway, Luo Zixuan is not here, whether it is black or white, he can make it up.
After finishing speaking, Qu Yuexuan didn't forget to hit a rake, "It's Lord Mo who came uninvited, which doesn't make sense!" β
Moyu: "You! β
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a loud 'bang' suddenly came out of the room, and the two parties were stunned and couldn't care about arguing.
Mo You and Qu Yuexuan glanced at each other, and the two of them pushed open the door at the same time and rushed in.
I saw that the room was already in a mess, tables and chairs fell to the ground, and letters and the like were scattered around.
And Luo Zixuan, the central figure of their topic just now, was already lying on his back and fell to the ground at this time, bleeding from his mouth and nose, unconscious.
One of Qu Yuexuan's subordinates took the lead in probing Luo Zixuan's pulse, and shook his head with a heavy face, "It's dead." β
Mo You didn't believe it, so he asked the internal guard to visit again.
The result is of course the same.
Qu Yuexuan sneered and said, "The person is here, is it possible that we can still lie to you." β
Mo You ignored him and gestured to the inner guards, who immediately dispersed and searched the bookshelves, desks, beds, and other places.
When the people on Qu Yuexuan's side saw it, they came to Qu Yuexuan and whispered, "Brother Qu, do we want to ......?"
Qu Yuexuan shook his head slightly, signaling his people not to act rashly.
He himself was leaning on the doorrail, watching the show, watching Mo You's intense movements.
However, when they searched the entire room, they almost didn't lift the floor tiles to find them.
The will of the emperor they had hoped for was nowhere to be found.
Not even a sign.
If it hadn't been hidden elsewhere by Luo Zixuan earlier, or, there would have been no such holy decree at all!
"Master Mo, what should I do now?" The inner guard didn't find anything, so he could only return to Moyou empty-handed.
But what can Mo You do?
A large part of the reason why he was still standing here and didn't retreat was that Qu Yuexuan didn't leaveβhe didn't want to be looked down upon by the other party.
But the sky outside was getting brighter, and he knew that staying here any longer would not help, and that he might get into trouble.
Mo You thought about it again and again, so he had to give an order to the internal guards: "Withdraw!" β
Qu Yuexuan and the others left, and then walked slowly to Luo Zixuan's corpse, looked at it carefully, and asked the subordinate who had inspected the corpse just now, "Can you see how long you have been dead?" β
The man hesitated for a while, and said, "It's hard to say the exact time, but the corpses are almost cold, and I'm afraid it will take four or five hours to die." β
Qu Yuexuan squatted down, took out a fire fold from his sleeve, lit it and carefully inspected Luo Zixuan's corpse, and said lightly: "The neck bones are shattered, and there are obvious finger marks on both sides of the neck, it seems that he was strangled to death." Judging from the action technique, this person's martial arts are invincible. β
"Brother Qu, this person has been dead for so long, but the voice just came out, this ......" Someone on the side immediately discovered the clue.
Qu Yuexuan nodded, "The movement just now was either made by the murderer, or it was made up by this thing." β
"My subordinates specially observed the surroundings just now, the doors and windows are locked, the only exit is the door, and there is no dark room in the room, if the murderer was in this room before this, it would definitely not be possible to escape our sight."
As for the second possibility, given that Luo Zixuan is completely dead, it is even more unlikely that he made it himself.
It's simply - it's impossible to sin!
Qu Yuexuan looked at his subordinates who were all confused, and couldn't help sighing: It's still too tender and lacks exercise!
He pointed to the corpse, "I said it was the sound of this corpse, but I didn't say that it was made by Luo Zixuan." I had just taken a closer look at the man's body, and I found that there was a thin mark on his neck, as if it had been encircled by a thin wire and hung up.
But the other person has already been strangled to death, and there is no need to hang him with a thin wire again. Thinking back to us, we all saw someone standing in the room tonight, thinking that someone had hung his body upright on the beams of the room, just to make outsiders think he was still alive. β
"Who did that?" Subordinate Li Quan asked.
Qu Yuexuan glanced at Li Quan and asked rhetorically, "Who do you say has the opportunity to enter this room today and still have time to arrange all this?" β
Li Quan immediately realized, "It's the little guy who delivers the food!" β
Li Quan arched his hand and said, "My subordinates will take someone to arrest that little guy." β
Qu Yuexuan nodded and asked Li Quan to lead a team of people to leave first.
The remaining Zhao Zhen pointed to the corpse on the ground and asked, "Brother Qu, what should I do with this corpse?" β
Qu Yuexuan spread her hands and said coldly: "It's not our people, do you need us to deal with it?" You eat too much salt, are you in a panic? β
Zhao Zhen sneered, scratched his head and said, "I'm not thinking that what we're looking for hasn't been found yet, maybe this corpse is still useful." β
Qu Yuexuan shook her head solemnly and sighed, "It's useless, I'm afraid there is a third party interfering in this matter." I'm afraid that the will has already been obtained by someone with a heart! β
Zhao Zhen asked unwillingly: "What should I do then?" β
Qu Yuexuan rolled her eyes, "Don't do it!" Don't forget, the task given to us by Jun Yang is actually to protect the safety of Luo Zixuan, as for the will, it is not that important. β
Zhao Zhen: "But haven't people been killed now?" β
Qu Yuexuan: "......"
Why is this kid so good at poking people in the sore spots!
"Forget it, let's close the team!"
Qu Yuexuan directly shook his hands and left.
ββββ
Qu Yuexuan led his men back to Mu Xue Courtyard and reported the news to Mo Junyang.
Then, Li Quan's men and horses also returned, but the food delivery boy failed to catch it.
After such a long time, if that little guy was really a murderer, I am afraid that he would have already fled, how could he wait for them to arrest him!
Qu Yuexuan was expected, but she still couldn't help but be a little irritable, "Jun Yang, I was too careless this time. β
I thought that as long as I stayed in Luofu and didn't let outsiders in, it would be fine, but I didn't expect to take precautions, and I couldn't prevent the ghosts in Luofu.
The murderer shot so neatly, it was definitely impossible for him to be just a small guy, he must have been lurking by Luo Zixuan's side for a long time, but he didn't know why he didn't do it until this time.
Mo Junyang had been listening to Qu Yuexuan's report quietly, and only then did he ask: "You said that you noticed that it was wrong, and when you wanted to go in and have a look, you happened to be in line with the internal guard?" β
Qu Yuexuan: "Well, there was a little conflict with Mo You at the door, and it took a little time. β
Otherwise, you might be able to grab the murderer's fox tail.
From the fact that the thin thread of the hanging corpse was not found at the scene, Qu Yuexuan could almost conclude that before they entered the house, the murderer might have been hiding on the eaves, using the gaps in the bricks and tiles to recover the thin thread.
The corpse was left without support and fell to the ground.
Mo Junyang nodded, didn't say anything more, just let Qu Yuexuan go down to rest.
Shi Qingxue stepped forward at this time and whispered: "Jun Yang, it seems that the murderer made this scene, I'm afraid he deliberately wanted Ah Xuan and them to face off with the internal guards." β
Otherwise, it was obviously well concealed before, and the murderer could have allowed 'Luo Zixuan' to stay in the room for ten days and half a month without being discovered.
Now that there is such an obvious mistake, it may be that Luo Zixuan has no use value at all, and secondly, he wants them to conflict with Mo Junyu.
Judging from the actual effect, the murderer's purpose has also been achieved.
Shi Qingxue could almost predict that Mo You would say something to Mo Junyu after returning to the palace.
The already stiff relationship between Mo Junyang and Mo Junyu may be even more precarious.
It's just that there was a point that Qingxue couldn't guess, "Did you say that the murderer found the so-called will?" β
To this day, not to mention the speculation of outsiders, even Shi Qingxue, who knows the inside story, is skeptical about the authenticity of the so-called will.
It is true that Mo Xiangbin did already know Mo Junyang's true identity and trusted Mo Junyang.
But Mo Xiangbin, who loves his reputation so much, was even able to almost put Mo Junyang to death in his previous life in order to cover up the scandal, how could he take the initiative to make the scandal of cheating with his brother and daughter-in-law public in this life?
There are too many suspicious points in this, Shi Qingxue can't guess whether the enemy is behind the suspicions, or is it really something?
Mo Junyang looked at Shi Qingxue, rarely showed a thoughtful look, hesitated for a while, and then said, "He did say that he would pass the throne to me." β
