Chapter 63: The Man Behind the Scenes
"There's someone behind the two of them." Jiang Ci said firmly.
These two people are too stupid, and they don't seem to be the culprits who messed up the Murong family at all.
After all, the Murong family has at least a hundred years of foundation, even if it is as lustful and gambling as Murong Yuhuai, the Murong family can last at least a few decades.
But now, in just three years, it is already dilapidated, and a grandson like Murong Shuo can only take out 100,000 taels of silver, which is still scraped together.
"Ancestor, do you mean that someone is instigating them behind their backs?" Chen Tiezhu immediately heard the true meaning of Jiang Ci's words.
"Follow them and check it out for me." Jiang Ci explained.
Since she accepted Murong Shuo's money, it was necessary to help him deal with some snakes, insects, rats and ants.
Chen Tiezhu nodded heavily.
The other side.
Murong Yuhuai and Murong Qiye glanced at each other, and invariably left the guards behind them, and the two of them walked alone to a bamboo forest.
In the middle of the bamboo forest, a thin man sat on a stool, holding a brush in his hand, not knowing what to write again.
"You mean you didn't see the old man?" The man still lowered his head and asked lightly.
"I don't know where Murong Shuo's kid found the thugs, but none of them are his opponents, it's terrifying." The drunkenness in Murong Yuhuai's eyes gradually subsided, and he began to speak loudly.
The man shook his head slightly, as if thinking about something.
"Don't worry, in fact, it's all the same, Murong Shuo woke up the old man, aren't you also the second master and the third master, and the family property naturally still has your share." The man said unhurriedly.
Murong Yuhuai was the first to be unhappy: "How can this be the same?" It's not a matter of a day or two that the old man likes Murong Shuo, as soon as he wakes up, he passes on the position of head of the family to Murong Shuo, where is our share of the family property? ”
"The third child is right this time, you have to help us think of a way." Murong Qipage echoed.
The man shook his head and chuckled: "I have always only liked to write and drink here, what can I do, don't think too highly of me." ”
"No matter what, you have to help us go and see how the old man is doing, right?" Murong Qipage was anxious.
The man nodded halfway: "I'll try it." ”
After the two left, Chen Tiezhu also left quietly and told Jiang Ci everything he saw.
Jiang Ci raised his eyebrows, and his eyebrows were dyed with some interest: "Let's wait here for the rabbit." ”
As long as they are always by the old man's side, they will definitely be able to find out who this person really is.
Since taking out the bone-sucking centipede, the old man's body has visibly improved, and even his lips have become bloody.
"Miss Jiang Ci... Oh no, you are my aunt, my aunt, you are really a miracle doctor, so godly! ”
Murong Shuo looked at Jiang Ci's eyes full of gratitude, and he couldn't wait to kneel directly in front of her and kowtow a few times.
"You are obviously a five-star Xuan-rank, why is the force so poor?" Jiang Ci stared at Murong Shuo, looked him up and down, and asked.
Murong Shuo hung his head, and he didn't intend to hide it: "What I have practiced since I was a child is our Murong family's swordsmanship, and I have integrated it with spiritual power into the swordsmanship. ”
Jiang Ci nodded thoughtfully, but didn't say anything.
At this moment, a small servant suddenly came in at the door and said: "Childe, the fourth master is here." ”
"Fourth uncle? Invite him in! Murong Shuo raised his head violently, and a light flashed in his eyes.
When the words fell, he seemed to think of something again, and stopped the little guy again: "Wait, I'll pick him up in person!" ”
His fourth uncle, Murong Shanquan, the most trusted person in the entire Murong family except for his grandfather.
The fourth uncle has never participated in the disputes of the Murong family, and he is free to the sun and travels all over the world.
I didn't expect to come back today.
Before Murong Shuo could go out, he was pulled back by Jiang Ci, took out a pill from his cuff, and handed it to him.
"Is this...?" Murong Shuo was puzzled.
"Feed your grandpa."
Murong Shuo was puzzled.
"This pill can make a person look like he is dying, but it won't hurt him." Jiang Ci explained.
Murong Shuo instantly understood Jiang Ci's intentions and waved his hand: "Oh, Miss Jiang Ci, I know your kindness, but don't worry, my fourth uncle will not harm my grandfather, he doesn't care about these things of the Murong family at all." ”
He is the same age as his fourth uncle, although he is an uncle and nephew, but he is like a brother.
"Iron pillar, take it and feed it." Jiang Ci glanced at him, too lazy to spend it with him, so he handed it directly to Chen Tiezhu.
Before Murong Shuo could stop it, Chen Tiezhu had already fed it.
"Miss Jiang Ci, you..." Murong Shuo wanted to speak and stopped, but could only sigh slightly.
Miss Jiang Ci said that she wouldn't harm her grandfather, so he believed it.
"Ten things, the first thing, I want you to hide the truth from your grandfather from anyone."
She didn't know if this fourth uncle was the bamboo forest man in the mouth of the iron pillar, but just in case, she could only do it.
After all, Murong Shuo is now full of enthusiasm for his fourth uncle.
Murong Shuo didn't think about it, and agreed directly, because it was not difficult for him.
He turned his head again and said, "Miss Jiang Ci, this is not counted in the ten things, I Murong Shuo can tell the good from the bad, I know that you are doing this for my good." ”
Jiang Ci raised her eyebrows, this kid really didn't disappoint her.
Before Murong Shuo stepped out, a voice from outside came to him.
"You kid, I haven't seen you all these days, and you've come here, haven't you?"
Outside the door, a white shadow came in directly, carrying a jar of wine in his hand, and the whole person looked chic and wanton.
As soon as he came in, he threw the wine in his hand into Murong Shuo's arms.
"How's Daddy?"
Murong Shanquan walked in as he spoke, and glanced at Jiang Ci and the others.
Seeing the old man with white lips, bloodless, and dry and dead, his eyes were full of sadness.
"Didn't I hear from the second and third children that you found a miracle doctor? Why is the old man still like this, is there really no way at all? Murong Shanquan turned his head to look at Murong Shuo.
Murong Shuo was also very cooperative with Jiang Ci, and shook his head: "Fourth uncle, you know best, grandpa has been down for so many years, I have searched for famous doctors, but there is no way, this time I am afraid that the third uncle is eating, drinking and gambling so uncontrollably, so I can only release the news that I have found a miracle doctor." ”
He was like a hot-blooded young man, pulling Murong Shanquan's sleeve: "Fourth uncle, do you know? Just a while before you came, the second uncle and the third uncle came over with a large group of people, and I was afraid that they would see my grandfather like this, so they stopped me at the door and scared me to death, but fortunately, you are back now. ”
Jiang Ci sat next to him, and couldn't help but praise in his heart.
This kid has good acting skills.
It's just that when she moved her gaze to the hem of Murong Shanquan's clothes, a pair of sharp eyes narrowed slightly.
There are also a few bamboo leaves stained on the hem of this garment.
