Chapter 248: Resourcefulness
Ning Xingzhi stomped his feet and said, "It's true, the Zhu family's side has become a mess of porridge." ”
He described the following.
Last night, after Zhu Youxuan and others all died, the entire Zhu Mansion was leaderless.
The people were very frightened at first.
But then they find that the assailants have long since left, and they have no intention of harming them.
At this time, seeing this situation, some subordinates completely let go of themselves and began to frantically loot the Zhu Mansion and plunder the property.
One with one.
In this way, one by one, the subordinates swept away the Zhu family's belongings and scrambled to escape.
Others, a few, were more loyal, and they found someone.
"Zhu Youxuan has been raising a fortune teller, a blind man named Lan Dongyu."
Ning Xingzhi said eloquently, "This blind fortune teller is Zhu Youxuan's henchman, he did not stop those subordinates from escaping with money, only gathered those loyal servants around him, and then ordered them to go to a private house, picked up a young man, and then notified the stewards who served the Zhu family, all of whom were the big shopkeepers of the shop."
Subsequently, Lan Dongyu pointed to the young man and announced to the big shopkeeper that the young man's name was Zhu Benzong, who was Zhu Youxuan's biological son and the heir that Zhu Youxuan had secretly cultivated just in case. ”
Hearing this, Dian Wei was speechless and said, "Others also believe this? ”
Ning Xingzhi spread his hands and said: "Lan Dongyu took out the evidence, including Zhu Youxuan's secret letter and the token of the family inheritance. Anyway, in the end, he persuaded those big shopkeepers, and everyone took Zhu Benzong as the new master of the Zhu family. ”
Dian Wei: "There are still many side branches of the Zhu family, will those clansmen identify with this Zhu Benzong?" ”
Ning Xingzhi: "Zhu Benzong is a ninth-level floating slaughter, and with the support of those big treasurers, it is difficult for those people from the side tribe to rebel. ”
Dian Wei pouted and said, "A ninth-level floating slaughter, how can you keep the huge industry of the Zhu family?" ”
Ning Xingzhi: "So, I have to admire the courage of that Lan Dongyu, he asked Zhu Benzong to use all his family property to propose marriage to Mu Bingqing, and the Mu and Zhu families married and tied together." ”
Dian Wei frowned and said, "Why is it Mu Bingqing?" ”
Ning Xingzhi: "Lan Dongyu's explanation is very simple, Mu Bingqing's identity is very embarrassing at the moment, and the Mu family urgently needs to dispose of Mu Bingqing, there is no more cost-effective deal than marrying her off and then exchanging her for the wealth of the Zhu family." ”
Dian Wei: "Aren't the Su family and the Shao family okay?" ”
Ning Xingzhi: "Compared with the newly unified Mu clan, which ended the long-term split, it is an unprecedentedly powerful time, and there is nothing more reliable than to take refuge in the Mu clan." ”
Dian Wei couldn't help but be silent.
Thinking about it carefully, I have to admit that Lan Dongyu made an extremely clever decision.
"Then did the Mu family agree?"
"Of course I agreed, how could I not agree." Ning Xingzhi sighed, "Taking this opportunity, with just one marriage, the Mu family can absorb the entire Zhu family, and no fool will refuse such a huge benefit." ”
Dian Wei understood.
Sort out what's going on.
Because of this change in the Black Lotus Temple, Dian Wei seized the opportunity to destroy the Zhu family in one fell swoop, and at the same time, the Mu Clan's Water Sect also seized the opportunity to overthrow the Han Sect.
These two events directly led to the merger of the two wealthy families of Mu and Zhu, or the Mu family annexed the Zhu family and became unimaginably powerful.
And the Zhu family is simply given away for nothing.
But this is also a helpless way, without the Mu family's cover, the Zhu family will inevitably fall apart.
The Zhu family is not without enemies, and when those enemies see this situation, they rush up, I am afraid that the Zhu family will completely cut off their children and grandchildren.
"Unexpectedly, the Zhu family is not completely finished."
Dian Wei pursed his lips, "It's a good Lan Dongyu, three times five divided by two will ruin my big thing." ”
He took out the bunch of keys, looked at the three keys, and his face was cloudy for a while.
……
Zhu's mansion is full of white silk.
A carriage stopped majestically outside the gate of the Zhu Mansion, and an old man in a black robe got out of the carriage.
The old man wore frost on his temples, but there were not many wrinkles on his face, and he did not look old.
And he is Mu Miaoyuan, the leader of the Mu Water Sect.
Of course, Mu Miaoyuan's identity at this time is different from yesterday, and he is already the supreme ruler of the Mu family.
In front of the gate, Lan Dongyu and a young man wore linen and filial piety, and saluted respectfully.
"The Zhu family has suffered a drastic change, please mourn."
Mu Miaoyuan was a little embarrassed, he never expected that the wealthy Zhu family would fall to this point overnight, and it made people's scalps tingle when they thought about it.
Will Mu become like this one day?
Lan Dongyu said, "Patriarch Mu, thank you for coming to mourn. ”
Then, the young man beside him said a little nervously: "Junior, Zhu Benzong, meet Grandpa Mu." ”
Mu Miao raised his hand and said with a smile: "In the future, Mu Zhu will be a family, with the same qi and branches, and the same hatred and hatred." ”
Speaking of this, Mu Miaoyuan's face sank, "Have you found out who the murderer is?" ”
Lan Dongyu said in a deep voice: "From the confession of the subordinate, I know that there is only one perpetrator. ”
"Alone?!"
Mu Miaoyuan gasped, frightened and panicked, "One person killed the three forging bones of the Zhu family?" ”
The strong bone forging fights, even if they can't fight, they can still escape, and it is difficult to keep it.
If you want to kill all three forging bones, the difficulty can be imagined.
This kind of thing, even he Mu Miaoyuan is not completely sure, at least he can't do it alone.
Mu Miaoyuan couldn't help but take a deep look at Lan Dongyu, and at this moment he somewhat understood why this blind man was so decisive in taking refuge in the Mu family.
I'm afraid that in the entire Ice and Fire City, only the Mu clan can protect them.
"The three forging bones of the Zhu family have just come out of the Black Lotus Temple, maybe they have injuries on their bodies, and they have been exploited."
Mu Miaoyuan could only think like this.
The old man's face tensed and asked, "Is there a clue?" ”
Lan Dongyu: "No one has seen the true face of the perpetrator, there is no witness, and there is no way to know the process of the other party's killing." ”
Mu Miaoyuan: "Take me to see the corpse." ”
Lan Dongyu had already prepared, and said, "Please here." ”
Soon.
In a large hall, many corpses were neatly placed on the ground, arranged in rows, all covered with white cloth.
Mu Miao swept his eyes away, and he felt extraordinarily spectacular.
After all, he had never seen so many corpses at once in his life!
Later, he saw Zhu Youxuan, Zhu Kaixiong's body, all in tatters, dead in a human appearance, miserable.
"Zhu Youxuan's neck is almost broken, and Zhu Kaixiong's neck is completely broken."
Mu Miaoyuan's expression became more and more solemn, "Hey, why don't you see Zhu Guisheng's corpse?" ”
Zhu Benzong replied: "My uncle's body is so torn apart that it is impossible to find the body. ”
One is worse than the other!
Mu Miaoyuan's expression suddenly froze.
Hell, he has lived for so many years, and he has never encountered such an evil thing.
Lan Dongyu: "Please take a look at the corpses of the others." ”
Mu Miaoyuan nodded, lifted a piece of white cloth next to him, this look! The old man's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
The man's skin was in tatters, barely intact, and his eyes were crisscrossed with scratches.
"It's ......"
Mu Miao was extremely stunned, he had never seen such a bizarre way of death, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Could it be that these more than 1,000 lives are all itched to death?" ”
Lan Dongyu nodded: "I suspect that they were poisoned, and they were extremely itchy, so they had to scratch themselves fiercely, and in the end, to no avail, they itched to death." ”
Mu Miaoyuan's brows twisted into a pimple, and he was secretly frightened: "Is there such a strange poison in the world?" ”
Lan Dongyu said calmly: "There should be, if you investigate carefully, you can always find out." ”
Mu Miaoyuan: "Well, the other party is so cruel, it can be seen that the perpetrator has a deep hatred with the Zhu family, and he has been planning for a long time." ”
Lan Dongyu thought so: "The murderer killed the murderer on the night when the old man and the others escaped from the Black Lotus Temple, it was by no means a temporary intention, but he had been waiting for the opportunity for a long time. ”
These words made Mu Miaoyuan's face blush slightly.
Speaking of which, the fact that the Water Sect was able to successfully suppress the Han Sect was not a long time planned, and it was also with the help of the opportunity of the Black Lotus Temple.
What they can think of, others can think of.
Mu Miaoyuan hurriedly diverted the topic: "Do you have any clever plan to find out this murderer?" ”
Lan Dongyu: "The perpetrator came prepared, and there was almost no trace left at the scene. ”
Mu Miaoyuan: "Then who is impossible to find out the murderer?" ”
Lan Dongyu: "Not really, in fact, there are two clues that can lock the perpetrator." ”
"Oh, let's hear it."
Mu Miao had long heard that this blind fortune teller was resourceful, and Zhu Youxuan regarded him as a confidant, and he would ask him for advice on everything.
Lan Dongyu said slowly: "First, the Zhu family has obtained a batch of precious jade Buddhas in the Black Lotus Temple, all of which are made of gold and jade, which are priceless. The Jade Buddhas disappeared along with the assailants. ”
"Jade Buddha, Golden Jade?"
Mu Miaoyuan understood that as long as he found the whereabouts of the Jade Buddha, he could hope to track down the perpetrator.
Lan Dongyu: "Second, after the master came back from the Black Lotus Temple, he chatted with me for a while, mentioning that he entered the Black Lotus Temple this time and got a treasure, and the harvest was extremely huge, and even made the Mu family suffer a loss. ”
As soon as these words came out!
Mu Miaoyuan was stunned at first, and then thought of something, and his face couldn't help but change greatly.
Lan Dongyu paused, and then said: "Although the master didn't say it explicitly, I guess that the most precious thing in the Black Lotus Temple should have fallen into his hands. ”
Mu Miaoyuan took a deep breath, he naturally knew what Lan Dongyu was talking about, Black Lotus!
According to the information provided by Mu Bingqing, a kind of black lotus is cultivated in the Black Lotus Temple, which only matures after nine hundred years, and it is infinitely useful.
It's a pity that they were one step late, and that black lotus was taken first by others.
I never expected that the person who took the black lotus would be Zhu Youxuan.
But Mu Miao was far from being a fool, how could he feel that Lan Dongyu was borrowing a knife to kill someone, and asked, "What evidence do you have to prove that that thing was obtained by Zhu Youxuan?" ”
Lan Dongyu spread his hands and said: "The master didn't say it clearly at the time, I am a blind man again, how can you ask me to come up with evidence?" However, when the Zhu family entered the Black Lotus Temple this time, many clansmen were killed and injured, but the old man was in a happy mood, which shows that he really got a good treasure. ”
Mu Miaoyuan: "Let me guess, that baby is gone, is it?" ”
Lan Dongyu nodded: "I have reason to suspect that the perpetrator raided the Zhu Mansion for the sake of that treasure." ”
Mu Miao was silent for a while, and then he ordered a servant to let Mu Bingqing come over as soon as possible.
Soon, Mu Bingqing arrived.
The glamorous and incomparable Mu Bingqing appeared in the Zhu Mansion......
When Zhu Benzong saw it, his heart suddenly swayed, and he fell in love with it, and his eyes were straight.
Mu Bingqing saluted: "Grandpa, what are your orders?" ”
Mu Miaoyuan: "That black lotus is very likely to have been taken away by Zhu Youxuan, and then taken away by the perpetrators." ”
Mu Bingqing's delicate body trembled, thought about it carefully, and immediately checked Zhu Youxuan's body, approached the corpse and sniffed it again.
After a while, she raised her head and muttered, "The fragrance of the black lotus is rich, and those who have come into contact with the black lotus must have left a lingering fragrance on their hands. On Zhu Youxuan's body, there is indeed a faint strange fragrance, which does not belong to any spices. ”
Hearing this, Mu Miaoyuan was moved and said, "Check, check it out for me!" No matter who the perpetrator is, even if he digs three feet into the ground, find him! ”
