Section 113 Uneasiness
Murong Hui nodded again and again, Shen Mu was right, this post station is not big, and it doesn't take too much time to find out everyone's movements.
Mu Yuyi is a native of Nansang, and he has no enemies in his country. There was no sign of an outsider invasion in the room, so the murderer was naturally one of the people in the station.
Murong Hui said, "Lord Zhu, I will do my best to ensure the safety of the post station. As for the interrogation, it's more convenient for you to know the tea bureau!"
Zhu Biao responded again and again, Zhu Biao didn't know why he was so unlucky this year, he didn't know what was going on before, the court suddenly sent Gonggong Qiu on a whim, and almost ruined his way of making money and currying favor with the upper echelons. Then there was another incident, I really don't know if it was the wrong sacrifice during the New Year's worship, or if I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out these days......
The person who died was the head of the wood of Nansang Kingdom, and if the imperial court blamed him, he would definitely be able to escape the blame.
Zhu Biao gently tugged at Shen Mu's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Boss Shen, you have to help me with this......"
Shen Mu said: "Lord Zhu." We are now on a boat, how can Shen stay out of the matter. Rest assured, the grass people will definitely do their best to find the murderer, and go back and ask Lord Zhu to pass on the collected information to the grass people. ”
Zhu Biao said: "Nature, nature ......"
If it is about doing business, he can say that he is half a pound and eight taels with Shen Mu, if it is about solving the case and arresting the murderer, then he doesn't know where to start. I originally expected Murong Hui to take over this mess, but I didn't expect people to come over just to play prestige and let go of "big words". It seems that this matter has to rely on Shen Mu's help, after all, this kid is full of fans.
Shen Mu said: "My lord, remember that it is very important to record where everyone was at the time of the crime and who could testify. ”
As soon as Shen Mu finished saying this, he heard Murong Hui calling him.
Murong Hui led Shen Mu out of the post station and stood under the gate, the light shining on Murong Hui's bleak face.
Shen Mu was puzzled for a while, but he was just a dead businessman, and it stands to reason that Murong Hui should not be so worried, but looking at his face, it was as if the sky had fallen.
I only heard Murong Hui say, "Mr. Shen, what do you think about this matter?"
Shen Mu said: "I've already said it ...... just now in the room."
Murong Hui said: "That's not what I want to hear, Mr. Shen, do you really think that the murderer is so easy to find out?"
Shen Mu said blankly: "If the case is investigated, the grass people are naturally not as fast as the official government, but in the opinion of the grass people, this case is not difficult to investigate......
Murong Hui sighed and said, "I'm afraid that this matter is not simple, I am worried that someone did it deliberately...... In order to destroy the national prestige of my Yunzhao country...... It is more likely that he wants to provoke the contradiction between Yunzhao and Nansang...... Take the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”
Shen Mu panicked: "Lord Murong...... The grass man is just a businessman, and for the country, he is just an ordinary person. What the little prince said, the grass people really don't understand......"
Murong Hui said: "With Mr. Shen's ability, have you ever thought of entering the court and serving the country......? The general has sent someone to check on Mr. Shen before, and he admires what you have done very much, if you can join my Murong Mansion, the general will definitely promote you to be a partial general!"
Shen Mu said: "Thank you little prince, Shen still has a lot of things to do now, not to mention that he is not interested in being an official, but if he says that he is serving the country, what Shen Mu is doing now can be regarded as serving the country! But wherever there is a need for Shen Mu, just one sentence, and the grass people will do their best. As for President Mu's death, no matter what angle Shen stands on, he will find out. ”
Murong Hui said, "Shen Mu...... If you don't enter the public house, then there are some things that I can't tell you. Ben will believe that with your wisdom, it is not difficult to find a murderer. Murong Hui pondered for a moment and continued: "Okay! I will rush back to the palace tonight, so I will ask Mr. Shen for help." ”
Speaking of this, Murong Hui hugged his fist at Shen Mu, and raised his voice to the general behind him: "Yan Shun, you lead the troops to guard here, you must ensure the safety of the post station, I need to go back to the palace......
Murong Hui was faintly uneasy in his heart, he always felt that Mu Yuyi's death was not simple. When Shen Mu said that he had killed Mu Yu Yi and that the people were in the post station, Murong Hui's uneasiness was even greater.
A few days ago, after his wife was attacked, he set out to find out the whereabouts of the Assassins. But no matter how many people were sent, no one found out about their whereabouts.
It was as if they had evaporated from this world.
And now that President Mu's death has made Murong Hui begin to confirm that a mysterious force has infiltrated the West Mountain Road of Yunzhao Kingdom.
With the current situation in the DPRK and China, there must be no chaos in Xishan Road.
And for those who have a heart, the more chaotic the West Mountain Road, the better!
There are some things that can't be said to others, although Shen Mu is smart, but he is not a person from the court, how can he talk about the affairs of the court with a person who does not have an official position.
Therefore, it is better to return the matter here to the old man as soon as possible, and it is the most important thing for him to decide.
For Shen Mu, he naturally knew the meaning of Murong Hui's words, but the most important thing for Shen Mu at the moment was to solve the distribution of white tea in the Zhicha Bureau to ensure the normal operation of "Fuchao Yinzhuang". Only when Yinzhuang's business stabilizes can the "righteous gas valve" survive. If the "righteous gas gate" survives, he Shen Mu will have a foothold.
This is not a contradiction. Yiqimen is Shen Mu's best platform at present, and if he loses this platform, he Shen Mu is nothing.
Without righteousness, Shen Mu would have entered the imperial court, and it would be difficult for him to move forward. With what he has done before, once he enters the court, it is easy to be caught, and it is okay to be criticized, and if he is not good, he will be pushed out of the "noon gate beheading".
Let Shen Mu count on the Murong Mansion to support him, it would be more reliable to rely on the Internal Affairs Mansion. After all, the "dead eunuchs" of the Internal Affairs Office need people with "roots" to visit and do things.
Murong Wangfu is different, their family has a big business, and they have no reason, why would they support themselves.
When useful, you are a gun. When it's useless, it's just a "chess piece" that is discarded at will.
Shen Mu is a person who understands, and if he understands people, he must do things that he understands. Otherwise, he would have died on the first day at the hands of Juan's Black Armor.
Out of the post station, Shen Mu asked Ma Linzi to go back with him.
Originally, I thought that Ma Linzi and the others could secretly protect the merchants of the Eight Kingdoms, but since the army of Murong Wangfu had arrived, it was not necessary for him and others to stay here, but it would attract the attention of others.
Back at the inn, Shen Mu ordered everyone to rest first. I went straight back to my room and went to bed again.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Shen Mu woke up.
I was so tired yesterday that I slept until now when I came back, and I was still woken up by hunger......
Thinking that I didn't eat last night, my stomach is gurgling at this moment......
Shen Mu washed his face indiscriminately and went downstairs. The guys in the shop are cleaning the tables and chairs, and the doors haven't been opened yet.
When Xiao Er saw Shen Mu, he immediately greeted him and said, "Yo, Master got up so early today? Don't you rest for a while?
Shen Mu waved his hand and said, "Little brother, there is a lot to eat now......
Xiao Er said: "Master, this can't stop you! It's just the fifth watch, and the cook hasn't come to the shop yet...... If you're hungry, you can go outside and take a look, some of the stalls are out early, maybe you can get some food!"
Shen Mu's mind was full of confusion, thinking that he was just taking advantage of the lack of people and going out to go around, first, to breathe fresh air, and secondly, to ponder the matter of Mu Yuyi's death.
Then he said, "That's it, I'll go around by myself...... You're busy!"
Most of the shops had not yet opened, and there were not many people on the streets, except for a few yellow dogs who were awakened by the sound of footsteps, and came out of an unknown alley and barked twice, and then there was no sound for four miles.
Shen Mu walked for a while, and finally found a noodle shop around the corner of the alley.
The noodle shop is backed by the incense hall, with a simple tent, three sets of tables and chairs, and only a canvas banner with the word 'noodles' written on it, which is yellowed and smoked for many years, and is full of oil stains.
The dough maker is a middle-aged man kneading dough on a white table.
Shen Mu didn't care whether the case was dirty or not, and sat on the bench and asked for a bowl of beef noodles.
The cook answered. Three times five divided by two, and a bowl of steaming noodle soup was served in a short time.
The noodles are good noodles, the red sauce in the beef noodle bowl is adjusted with light yellow fresh noodles, and the sides are dotted with several large pieces of light brown beef, the noodles are strong, the beef is tender, and the soup is rich.
Shen Mu ate with relish, and it seemed that the best thing in the world was this noodle.
When people are hungry, they will find that the best food in the world is the most ordinary meal.
Eating is a process of enjoyment, and Shen Mu doesn't have to think about other issues at all.
"Slurred", a mouthful of noodles, a mouthful of soup...... Blissful!
"Brother Shen, it's really hard for you to find ......"
When Shen Mu heard the voice, he saw a person sitting opposite, with messy hair and disheveled clothes.
Shen Mu frowned and said, "Brother Sun, why are you ...... here?"
Sun Yike also came, only to see Sun Yike stretching lazily and yawning: "I was drunk and unconscious yesterday, and when I woke up, I was so hungry." I was about to eat something, but I found that I didn't have a silver tael...... I heard that Xiao Er said that Brother Shen had already gone out, so I came to try my luck......"
Shen Mu didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said to the uncle who made noodles: "Boss, let's have another bowl of beef noodles......"
Sun Yike shouted: "I want an extra ...... meat" As he spoke, he smiled at Shen Mu.
Shen Mu said: "Brother Sun, I don't know if I should say something or not?"
Sun Yike said: "Brother Shen, as the saying goes, eating people is soft, I am eating and drinking...... What else can't be said!"
Shen Mu said: "Actually, I've always wanted to ask, why is Brother Sun so addicted to alcohol?"
Sun Yike said: "Some people like to dance knives and guns, some people like to chant poems and make pairs, and some people are good at chess, piano, calligraphy and painting...... And I, why not if I love to get drunk alone?"
