Hongyuan smiled at her charity, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, reincarnation and annihilation, are all fixed numbers." The donor has this opportunity, it is the way of heaven, and how dare the old man go against the sky. It's just that the killing made by the donor in the previous life was too heavy, and the evil spirit in this life is deep, but I am afraid that even if I do it again, it will be a bad fate. Fortunately, the donor always has good thoughts in his heart, and he may be able to offset your sins, Amitabha. ”

Mu Youning's face was indifferent: "Master Hongyuan's vision is like a torch, and the Dharma is profound, and he can break Youning's secret at a glance." In his previous life, Youning was killed by a traitor, and his family was ruined and died. It's just that I have been reborn, and my destiny is in my own hands, even if the way of heaven does not allow it, I will go against the sky, but if it is unfair to manpower, I will do my best, even if it is not tolerated by the world, I will definitely seek justice for myself!"

Hongyuan's face did not change, "Amitabha, since the day the donor is reborn, your destiny is not between heaven and earth, and how you want to go in the future depends on the donor." The old man has only one suggestion, that is, at all times, the benefactor should not be blinded by hatred, and the good thoughts in his heart will be worthy and fearless. For the rest, the donor can do whatever he wants. ”

Mu Youning's eyes moved slightly, "Thank you Master for your advice, Youning will keep it in mind, and I hope that Master will remember what he said today." ”

Hongyuan said lightly: "Amitabha, monks don't lie. ”

"That being the case, Youning will not disturb the master's Qingxiu, and Youning will retire. ”

After the words fell, Mu Youning left.

Hongyuan looked at her departing back and shook his head, and sighed: "Amitabha, all laws are empty, and cause and effect are not empty. The fate gathers and scatters the fate like water, and the delusion is born into emptiness. ”

......

"Your Excellency. Mrs. Liu, who was waiting in the courtyard, saw Mu Youning come out and hurriedly greeted her.

Mu Youning bowed, "Madam, take me to see Lord Liu's body." ”

Mrs. Liu slightly: "Don't you wait for Master Hongyuan's practice to see it later?"

"No need, Master Hongyuan's Buddhism is profound, with benevolence and great love, he can appease everyone's hearts and relieve the suffering of all beings, but he can't solve the confusion in Mrs. Liu's heart. Besides, this matter should be done sooner rather than later, and you can take me there. Mu Youning said.

Mrs. Liu nodded: "Okay, my lord, do you need to call that white boy?"

"Well, Mrs. Laborer has brought him together. ”

Mrs. Liu sent someone to invite Bai Yujin and took Mu Youning to the mourning hall.

The two walked to the front of the mourning hall, only to see that the door of the mourning hall was heavily guarded, but they did not see the family members wearing linen and filial piety.

"The old man has been out of action for too long, so the family members and concubines let them all go back first. Mrs. Liu hurriedly explained.

Xiao Chuchu didn't care about their family affairs, so he just asked, "These days, has anyone ever approached Lord Liu's body?"

"No, except for the maid who scrubs the body of the master every day, the maid is a child of the family, and she grew up in Liu's Mansion since she was a child, so she should not have any dissenting thoughts. Mrs. Liu said.

Mu Youning was noncommittal.

The two of them quickly walked into the mourning hall, and Mu Youning was not ambiguous, and said directly: "Mrs. Lao Fu asked people to take out Lord Liu's body." ”

"This ......" Mrs. Liu hesitated.

After all, the deceased has been placed in the coffin, and if the body is taken out, I am afraid that it will disturb the peace of his death.

"Lord Liu galloped on the battlefield in the first half of his life, and he has seen many lives and deaths, but he is not afraid. Besides, I believe that the adults must also want to find out the truth and find out the real murderer of himself. Mu Youning saw her hesitation and comforted.

"Well, that's what the adults say. Mrs. Liu weighed for a moment in her heart and nodded.

Fortunately, the coffin has not been sealed, and now even if the body is taken out, it is not a big disrespect.

Thinking like this, she called someone to take Liu Cheng's body out of the coffin and put it on the bamboo couch beside her.

At this moment, Bai Yujin also followed.

"You're here. Mu Youning saw him coming and nodded.

"Hmm. ”

"Bai Gongzi, let's see what the cause of Lord Liu's death is. Mu Youning said.

Bai Yujin nodded, took out the gold silk gloves from his waist and put them on, and then began to inspect Liu Cheng's body.

He turned over Liu Cheng's head, revealing the skin behind his ear, and sure enough, he saw a red dot, so he beckoned to Mu Youning and said, "Master Mu, come and have a look." ”

Mu Youning hurriedly walked over and took a closer look.

"Sure enough, it's a Gu worm. ”

"It's just a pity, now that twenty-four hours have passed, the Gu worms have already died. If there is no autopsy, there is no way to know what kind of Gu Liu Chengzhong is. Bai Yujin said as he continued to check other places.

It's just that Mu Youning and Bai Yujin both know that they are afraid that Mrs. Liu will not be willing to let her father-in-law die and not leave the whole body, so the two of them did not mention it, after all, as long as they know that Liu Cheng has been tricked, it means that Liu Cheng's case and Wu Aiqin's case are really related.

A quarter of an hour later, Bai Yujin put away the golden silk gloves and said, "He was hit by the Gu, and there are no other wounds on his body." ”

"Zhong Gu, what kind of thing is this?" Madame Liu exclaimed.

"This is a kind of poison that can kill people, and Lord Liu's fatal wound is the red dot behind the ear. The Gu poison technique has disappeared from the world for hundreds of years, and the wound is very small, so the cause of death cannot be detected for a while. Mu Youning explained.

"Who is it? Who is going to kill the master with such a vicious technique?" said Mrs. Liu, whose eyes were red, and choked.

Mu Youning sighed lightly, "Not only Lord Liu, but even Miss Wu of Jinzhou Assassin Shi was poisoned and died. I inquired about her maid Hongluan, and learned that Miss Wu had come to Wancheng to visit relatives, so I thought that her death might have something to do with Lord Liu's death. ”

"Aiqin! Aiqin?" Mrs. Liu's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, her hand holding the handkerchief trembled a little: "She did come to visit me a month ago, could it be that she is actually a Gu here?"

Mu Youning nodded: "That's right." So Mrs. Liu, I have seen the letter you submitted to my father, and you said that after receiving a letter, Mrs. Liu locked himself in the room and did not come out for a day, and then Mrs. Liu asked her to break down the door of the room, only to find that Mrs. Liu had suffered misfortune. ”

Mrs. Liu nodded with tears in her eyes: "That's right." ”

"Have you ever seen the letter that Lord Liu received? That letter is probably the most crucial evidence in this case. Mu Youning then asked.

I didn't think about it, but Mrs. Liu shook her head: "I haven't seen it." When the concubine and the guards broke open the door of the master's room, they saw the master leaning over the desk, and the concubine thought he was asleep at first, but he didn't respond when he called him. The concubine was uneasy physically and mentally, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, only to find that something had happened to the master. ”

"The concubine was concerned about the lord at the time, so she didn't care about the letter, and when she thought about looking for it again, the letter was missing. ”
