CHAPTER XLIV
When it comes to poisoning, the people in the rivers and lakes are most afraid of not only the Tang Sect, but also the Golden Flower Family.
Different from the Tang Sect, Jinhua is a very special existence, it is not a sect that never accepts disciples with foreign surnames, and Jinhua is not like the Tang Sect also develops side door secret weapons, only concentrates on grinding poison techniques, all kinds of strange poisons emerge in endlessly, it is no exaggeration to say that if you are an enemy of Jinhua disciples, I am afraid that you will have to open half your eyes when you sleep.
Mu Qinghong was quite surprised, but still denied Ma Chengkong's conjecture: "The Golden Flower Woman has always been loyal and faithful, you don't have to suspect your wife, I want someone else to steal the remnants." ”
Ma Chengkong said: "My uncles will never betray the Ma family, I can use the head as a guarantee." ”
"Who else knows about the remnants of the book other than these people?"
"No one knows about it anymore."
Mu Qinghong pinched his chin, and Yu Guang noticed that the sky was almost dark and the sunset was about to set in the sky, so he smiled at Ma Chengkong and said, "You send those people outside the door away first, they are still waiting for you." ”
Ma Chengkong got up with some difficulty, rubbed his calves and turned around and walked towards the gate of the ancestral hall, and just pushed the door open, he bumped into Jin Feng'er's red eyes head-on.
"Husband......
Looking at Jin Feng'er's anxious face, Ma Chengkong felt a little guilty, reached out and stroked his wife's face, and barely squeezed out a gentle smile: "Madame, don't worry, I just want to be alone." ”
Jin Feng'er nodded, but the panicked look in her eyes was still the same, Ma Chengkong rubbed her hair, and shouted to the people kneeling on the ground: "You don't have to worry, it's okay anymore." ”
A white-haired old man led by everyone slowly got up, it was Ma Chengkong's eldest uncle Ma Hualong, he asked Ma Chengkong in a weak tone: "Kong'er, you don't have to blame yourself for losing an object, for the Ma family, you are more important than anything." ”
Ma Chengkong nodded, Ma Hualong breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and waved his hand to everyone: "It's okay to be in charge, let's disperse." ”
Everyone got up one after another, and Ma Chengkong's second uncle Ma Chengyuan waited for everyone to leave, before he walked up to Ma Chengkong, looked at him with very strange eyes, and finally sighed lightly: "It's good if you figure it out." ”
"It's because I didn't think it through, which made the second uncle worried."
Ma Chengyuan glanced at the ancestral hall, didn't say anything, turned around and left, leaving only Jin Feng'er here, Jin Feng'er was about to speak, Ma Chengkong grabbed her hand and said, "Come in with me." ”
Jin Feng'er was quite surprised, the door of the Ma family was very strict, and women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, but now Ma Chengkong ignored the door rules to take her into the ancestral hall, and followed into the house at a loss, but saw a very beautiful man lying in the center of the ancestral hall, and was even more surprised: "Husband, what is this?" ”
Mu Qinghong was also very surprised, he didn't expect Ma Chengkong to bring Jin Feng'er to see him, and hurriedly got up and saluted Jin Feng'er: "Contemptible Mu Qinghong, sister-in-law don't panic." ”
"Mu Qinghong?" Jin Feng'er was even more surprised, the two fingers subconsciously cocked slightly, of course she had heard of the reputation of the thief Mu Qinghong, but it was the first time she saw it with her own eyes, Mu Qinghong noticed Jin Feng'er's fingers, maintained a salute posture and did not dare to move, Ma Chengkong held Jin Feng'er's hand and smiled at her: "Madam, don't be surprised, Mu Qinghong is a friend." ”
"Friends?"
"Yes, he's here to help us investigate the theft."
Mu Qinghong also chimed in: "Mrs. Sister-in-law should have heard of my name, who in this world knows how to steal better than a thief?" ”
Jin Feng'er was a little relieved when she heard this, but she was still a little wary, and asked Mu Qinghong: "That's right, but when did you become a friend of the Ma family?" I have the impression that the people of the Hidden Sect will not be friends with any outsiders. ”
Mu Qinghong was not angry, and said with a smile: "Why should Mrs. Sister-in-law believe those rumors, in fact, not all people in the Shenyin Sect are loners. ”
"You must have other purposes, you can hide it from your husband, but you can't hide it from me."
"Mrs. Sister-in-law guessed accurately, I won't help in vain, of course I have something to take."
"So what are you going to take?"
Jin Feng'er narrowed her eyes, Mu Qinghong could see the killing intent in her words, and she didn't hide anything: "What I want to take is the Ma family's lost dead wood and spring remnants." ”
"Oh? You're going to borrow our Ma family's hand to find this and then take it away? Does that mean? ”
"Not bad."
Jin Feng'er turned her head to look at Ma Chengkong and asked, "Husband, has you already made an agreement with him?" ”
Ma Chengkong nodded, and said softly: "Since the remnants have been lost, instead of falling into the hands of others, it is better to let Mu Qinghong take them, and let the Ma family escape the catastrophe." ”
"What calamity?"
"Madame don't have to ask."
Jin Feng'er was obviously a little displeased with Ma Chengkong's concealment, but Mu Qinghong said very bluntly: "My master ordered me to steal the remnants of the dead wood and spring, if I can't bring this thing back, the people who come to the Ma family will not be as good as me." ”
Jin Feng'er looked at Mu Qinghong, and her tone was a little heavier: "Your master? ”
Mu Qinghong said: "Yes, my master, my sister-in-law doesn't need to know his name, just need to know that he is a person with all means, and it is easy to destroy the entire Ma family." ”
Jin Feng'er was silent, she was a smart woman, she could see from her husband's behavior today that the Ma family would usher in a great disaster, after a moment of silence, she gave Ma Chengkong a positive look, turned her head to Mu Qinghong and asked, "In that case, how do you plan to track it down?" ”
"Mrs. Sister-in-law is really wise, I need to know that besides Mrs., who else knows that the remnant is in the Ma family, and who else has touched that box today."
Jin Feng'er thought for a moment and said, "In addition to me and my husband, there are five other people who know. ”
Mu Qinghong asked, "Can Mrs. Sister-in-law name them?" ”
Jin Feng'er said: "Those who know about this thing include my father-in-law Ma Chenggui, uncle Ma Hualong, second uncle Ma Chengyuan, and old housekeeper Ma. ”
Mu Qinghong listened quietly, but Jin Feng'er stopped opening her mouth after only talking about four people, so she asked suspiciously, "Why didn't Mrs. Sister-in-law say it again?" What about one more? ”
Jin Feng'er looked at Ma Chengkong, Ma Chengkong coughed lightly, and said, "There is one more person who doesn't need to be checked again." ”
Mu Qinghong frowned, and said unhappily: "What else do you want to hide from this point?" ”
Ma Chengkong pursed his mouth, sighed and opened his mouth: "The remaining person is my second uncle Ma Chengjun, who has been imprisoned in a secret room for more than 20 years and has never seen the light of day again. ”
Ma Chengjun......
Mu Qinghong was stunned when he heard this name, and said with some surprise: "I heard my father say when I was a child that he competed with your father Ma Chenggui for the position of the head of the Ma family, intending to collude with his relatives to assassinate your father, but he was killed by your father himself. ”
"My father did defeat him back then, but he couldn't be ruthless, after all, he is also a close relative of the Ma family." Ma Chengkong was also a little melancholy when he mentioned the incident back then, when he was young and couldn't understand the pain of his father's cannibalism, he cheered up and said to Mu Qinghong: "In short, although he knows about the remnants, he has no connection with the loss of the remnants, you can exclude him." ”
Mu Qinghong didn't answer, stretched out his hand and pressed it on his temple, closed his eyes and thought deeply, Ma Chengkong thought about it, and said to Mu Qinghong: "I don't think this matter is necessarily the Ma family's doing, I'll go and tell the Ma housekeeper to find out who has been to the Ma family recently......"
"Take me to see Ma Chengjun."
Ma Chengkong was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was hallucinating: "What did you say?" ”
"I said, take me to see Ma Chengjun, your second uncle." Mu Qinghong opened his eyes and repeated in an unquestioning tone.
Ma Chengkong was a little angry, and shouted: "I said, he hasn't seen the light of day for more than 20 years, you shouldn't doubt him." ”
"The most unexpected people are often the most deadly," Mu Qinghong said with a smile, and at the same time looked at Jin Feng'er, and said: "I will check anyone who knows the existence of the remnants, and my sister-in-law will be no exception." ”
Mu Qinghong was also very surprised, he didn't expect Ma Chengkong to bring Jin Feng'er to see him, and hurriedly got up and saluted Jin Feng'er: "Contemptible Mu Qinghong, sister-in-law don't panic." ”
"Mu Qinghong?" Jin Feng'er was even more surprised, the two fingers subconsciously cocked slightly, of course she had heard of the reputation of the thief Mu Qinghong, but it was the first time she saw it with her own eyes, Mu Qinghong noticed Jin Feng'er's fingers, maintained a salute posture and did not dare to move, Ma Chengkong held Jin Feng'er's hand and smiled at her: "Madam, don't be surprised, Mu Qinghong is a friend." ”
