Mu Juezhi felt that Qi Kecheng County's brother-in-law Liu Jingshan County was the most suspicious, Mu Yirong frowned, and said that if Liu Jingshan really loves to show off as Mu Juezhi said, then he has such a money-making business as a Wanjin gambling house in Shangjing City, and it is impossible to be completely tight-lipped, and no rumors have been revealed.

Mu Juezhi felt that Liu Jingshan was not stupid, he knew that there was a difference in the severity of things, and he was shielding and harboring road bandits, which was a matter of losing his head, so he naturally did not dare to reveal a trace of tone.

Mu Yirong nodded in agreement, and Mu Juezhi smiled and asked Mu Yirong if he liked to change his thoughts like this on weekdays

Mu Yirong's expression was serious: "Before the coffin is closed, everything must be constantly skeptical, and don't jump to conclusions." Those who are officials should not wronged a good person and let a bad person go as their own responsibility. ”

Mu Juezhi was repeatedly taught by Mu Yirong, and Ruicao, who was biting the brush, took out a small notebook from her arms and wrote down a comment she made on Mu Yirong, the object of human male observation, who was young and could tell a big truth.

And for this, she was deeply ashamed. She is more than 500 years older than Mu Yirong, but she can't even read a basket of big characters, so she can't tell a truth like him to convince the public.

She will only solve problems with her fists and convince people by force

However, Seocho also quickly comforted herself, at least, her kung fu was better than Mu Yirong.

No one is perfect, how can it be perfect

She has realized some truths wisely, and she must write them down and show them to Taishan Niangniang in order to praise them.

Mu Yirong looked at Ruicao and took out the mysterious little notebook, frowned slightly, and secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that this Qi County Order and Liu Jingshan really have some ulterior problems

Just as Mu Yirong was staring at Ruicao and thinking about it, a terrible scream suddenly sounded outside, cutting through the sound of dripping rain and shooting into everyone's eardrums like a sharp arrow.

Mu Juezhi, who had just left to say goodbye to Mu Yirong and walked out of the door, immediately turned around and pointed in the direction of the west, "It's the voice from over there." ”

Mu Yirong and the others hurriedly got up and ran out of the house, and saw that there was a courtyard wall that was neither high nor low to the west, and they flew over despite the fact that it was still raining.

The house next to the west side of the yamen is the mansion of Liu Jingshan, the brother-in-law of Lord Qi, Mu Yirong and a few people jumped into the courtyard, and with the screams that were still ringing, they quickly passed through a verandah and came to a small courtyard.

In the middle of the courtyard, an old man with gray hair sat in the rain's blisters, his eyes were staring at two copper bells, and his hands were trembling and pointing ahead.

Not far ahead, a little girl who looked like a maid fell straight at the door of the main house in the small courtyard, her feet were at the door, her head was tilted back, hanging down under the steps of the door, rolling her eyes, her body kept twitching, her face was extremely distorted, as if she had seen some terrifying picture, her eyes were full of horror, and the scene looked weird and very penetrating.

The little maid who fell at the door was still convulsing, Mu Yirong hurriedly stepped forward, reached out and gently lifted her head, level with her body, and then pinched the little maid with the other hand, and after a while, seeing that the little maid was no longer twitching, she hurriedly helped her up.

The little maid's body was as soft as an invertebrate, with her eyes closed, hanging on Mu Yirong's body softly, as if she had lost consciousness.

At this time, some subordinates in the house rushed into the courtyard when they heard the sound, and when they saw four or five messengers in official clothes standing in the courtyard, no one dared to come forward to inquire for a while.

Mu Yirong picked up the little maid who had completely fallen into a coma, turned around and shouted to the onlookers at the door, "Come on, send her back to the room to rest." ”

At this time, the two brothers Hou Hu and Hou Hu had already helped the white-haired old man in the courtyard to his feet, and the people at the door saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to interrogate the white-haired old man, "Steward Pang, what happened?"

Steward Pang, who was almost old, stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointing in the direction of the door, and immediately someone stepped forward to take the fainted little maid from Mu Yirong's hands and send her back to the room.

Mu Yirong turned around, a pair of wolf eyes like torches, and quickly scanned the room.

"There's no smell of blood. ”

Seocho's little head melon came out from under Mu Yirong's armpit, and was about to enter the house, when Mu Yirong grabbed the back of his neck.

"Be careful. ”

Seocho nodded and said "yes", and the two of them walked into the house on alert.

The room is small, and the walls are all shelves made of ash wood near the front, which are sturdy and durable, and they are full of books.

In some of the vacant places on the walls, there are a few calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, and some more bamboo, insects and birds are painted for both elegant and popular appreciation.

In the middle of the house, there is a screen painted with landscapes, and people can walk on the left and right sides.

However, the screen was very crooked, and the side near the window was skewed outward, as if someone had run out and hit the screen.

Mu Yirong and Seocho moved forward against the wall on the side of the window, and saw a table inside that had fallen to the ground, and a person was lying next to him, so they hurriedly stepped forward.

The person on the ground was a middle-aged man, with a big mole on his chin, no scars on his head and face, and no wounds on his body, but his eyes were closed, and Mu Yirong probed the pulse of the man's neck.

The beating was faint, it should just be a coma, Mu Yirong breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Mu Juezhi and others helped the gray-haired housekeeper Pang into the house, and when housekeeper Pang saw the person who fell to the ground, he immediately screamed bitterly, "Master." ”

Then he rolled his eyes, and fainted, so shocked that the people of Liu's mansion who followed behind were in a hurry, and ran to ask for a doctor.

Mu Yirong looked at the room that was supposed to be a study, obviously having a fight, and his right hand unconsciously pinched his chin.

Although there were traces of a fight in the house, there were no obvious external injuries on Liu Jingshan's body, and they just began to suspect that Liu Jingshan had something to do with the Wanjin Gambling House in Shangjing, and Liu Jingshan had such a situation, could it be just a coincidence

Moreover, Mu Yirong remembered that when he rushed into the courtyard just now, the white-haired Pang in charge seemed to shout "The monster has killed someone", but the distance was far away and the rain was loud, so he didn't hear it clearly.

It's just that now the gray-haired housekeeper Pang also fainted, and he couldn't ask why.

Mu Yirong turned his head to look at Seocho, "What can you see?"

Before Seocho could speak, the doctor invited by the Liu Mansion walked into the house, saw that there was an official errand, and hurriedly gave a salute.

Liu Jingshan, who was unconscious, had already been carried to the bed by his subordinates, and Steward Pang was helped to lie on top of the hard collapse, Mu Yirong asked the doctor not to be polite, and to treat Liu Jingshan quickly.

The doctor walked to the bed, put down the medicine box, sat on the stool, and stretched out his hand to check Liu Jingshan's pulse.

After a long time, the doctor withdrew his hand and said to Mu Yirong and others, "Liu County's pulse is slow and stops, and there is a fixed number, this is the pulse of the generation, which is caused by panic." ”

A big man was actually stunned, and human beings are really so timid regardless of gender.

Seocho was very curious, this Liu Jingshan's guts were not as big as a grain of rice

The doctor also said that Liu Jingshan has the appearance of qi deficiency, but it stands to reason that he is a city and county lieutenant, and he is not a beggar who can't eat enough on the roadside, so there should be no such malnutrition and qi deficiency.

After the doctor finished speaking, he treated Steward Pang again, but he was also overly frightened, coupled with the rush to attack his heart, and he was old and weak, so he fell into a coma. It is best to let him go back to his room and meditate for a few days, and he will be cured.

After the doctor finished speaking, he prescribed a decoction for Liu Jingshan and Steward Pang to calm the nerves and replenish qi, and then received the consultation fee and said goodbye.

Butler Pang, who was lying on the hard collapse, woke up when someone moved him, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he immediately called anxiously in an old and hoarse voice, "Master." ”

Mu Yirong pressed Steward Pang's anxious body and told him not to move, Liu Jingshan was fine, so he could rest assured.

Steward Pang's nervous expression relaxed, and he lay down on top of the hard collapse, but then held Mu Yirong's hand tightly and begged Mu Yirong to save his master.

Mu Yirong asked Steward Pang, who was panting like a cow, not to get excited, and slowly said what was going on

Steward Pang gasped hard, and finally breathed smoothly before he spoke.

In recent days, Liu Jingshan has always felt heavy and uncomfortable, upset, and can't hear people's noise.

It just so happened that Mrs. Liu was pregnant and her nerves were also very sensitive, so she decided to sleep in a separate room with her husband Liu Jingshan.

So Liu Jingshan moved to this remote and quiet study to recuperate his body alone.

Before noon today, Steward Pang took her maidservant Xiao Tao to deliver food to Liu Jingshan as usual.

As a result, as soon as they walked to the door, the two of them were extremely frightened to see his master suspended in the air in the house. On the beam, a person with his legs hooked upside down on the beam, facing inward, hanging his hands, is "sucking" Liu Jingshan up.

Liu Jingshan, who was hanging in mid-air, rolled his eyes and kept struggling, looking very painful.
