He looked at the bottomless prison, and with a movement of his wrist, the entrance to the prison slowly closed.

......

After the event, there are still people coming and going on Phoenix Street, but it is no longer as lively as it was a few days ago.

Li Jiang walked leisurely on the street, followed by Mu Dong and Shen Xun.

Mu Dong has always been very curious about this child who suddenly appeared, but he didn't have much chance to speak, and now that he happened to have time, he was like opening a chatterbox, asking questions all the way.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Are you really eight years old? It's the first time I've been with such a young child......

"Why don't you speak? Are other children as cold as you?"

"Who are your parents? Aren't they worried about you coming out at such a young age? Or are they ......?"

"Can you be quiet?" said Shen Xun impatiently, holding his arms.

Mu Dong jumped in front of him and suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, are you the child secretly born to Qinghe and other men?" No wonder you two have such similar personalities, I even think you look a little similar now......

He looked at Shen Xun's face carefully and analyzed solemnly.

Suddenly, the back collar was pulled up, Li Jiang didn't know when he came back, pinching his collar with two fingers, but his eyes were looking at Shen Xun, and said, "Don't provoke him." ”

Shen Xun raised an eyebrow and looked back at him.

Mudon tried to free the collar from his grasp, but he used too much force, and because of inertia, he leaned back sharply, and stepped on something soft on the soles of his feet.

Mu Dong froze in place for a moment, motionless: "Tell me, what I stepped on was not a bug or something." ”

Li Jiang glanced at it: "No." ”

Mu Dong breathed a sigh of relief and moved his feet away.

Li Jiang squatted down and looked at the petals that were crushed by Mu Dong's foot, he still remembered that these flowers were placed on the roadside for decoration on the day of the flower festival.

Six days have passed since that day, and the flowering period is short, and six days without water irrigation can dry up and wilt, and from the petals scattered in the street, it does not seem to be so.

"There is something wrong with these flowers. ”

Mu Dong also squatted down: "Do you suspect that someone has poisoned the petals?"

Li Jiang: "Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to have water until now." ”

All things have spirits, flowers and plants are also blessed by heaven, even if the spiritual power is weak, but it should not be underestimated.

Once the toxin is infiltrated, the growth of the root veins of the aura will become extremely slow, which will delay the life cycle of the petals, and the fragrance of the flowers spreads quickly, and it is not easy to attract people, and sprinkling poison on the petals can be said to be twice the result with half the effort.

Apparently someone took advantage of this to achieve his ends.

Mu Dong: "But the number of these flowers is not small, and there are many people in contact, so it may not be easy to find out who the poisoner is." ”

Li Jiang: "Then check from the source first, let's find the boss who supplies these flowers first......"

Before he finished speaking, Mu Dong stood up, as if he had found something, and pointed to the crowd in front of him and shouted: "Senior brother, look! Is that person the charlatan who cheated you out of money?"

Li Jiang looked back and saw that when they came to the Apocalypse Capital on the first day, the person he was looking for was set up on a table, with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and a banner next to it, with the four big characters of 'Divine Calculation' written on it.

The person who hung up was showing a girl's palmistry, and he touched the girl's slender jade fingers, and his little eyes glanced at the girl's body from time to time, and he didn't notice that someone was walking towards him murderously.

"Just listen to me and do as I say, and I'll promise you'll be fine. ”

"Really, Daoist, you must help me......"

With a 'bang', Mu Dong slammed his fist on the table and looked at the hanging person playfully: "Girl, he is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he can't help you." ”

The girl didn't know why, and looked at the three people who suddenly appeared with a blank expression.

The person who hung up had a good memory, recognized Li Jiang at a glance, and the moment he turned around and ran away, he was grabbed by Mu Dong by the collar and dragged back.

Seeing this posture, the girl thought that she was here to seek revenge, and hurriedly pulled the maid and hurried away.

Mu Dong looked at the hanger with a smile: "You still remember me, huh, you are a charlatan, you cheated my senior brother's money, and you dare to come out to set up a stall, let me catch you today, I will definitely beat you all over the ground to find your teeth!"

The hanging man was quite backbone, and he refused to admit it: "Who is the liar? Who cheated you out of your money? Let me tell you, this is the country of the Apocalypse, not the territory of your outsiders, and someone in my family is from the Yamen, if you dare to touch me, I will let you not eat and walk around!"

Mu Dong was most unaccustomed to this kind of bullying villain in his life, and when he rolled up his sleeves and was about to start, Li Jiang stopped him with one hand.

"If you want us not to do it, you can answer me a few questions and I'll let you go. ”

Seeing that the person who hung up didn't need to be beaten, he immediately said, "What's the problem?"

Li Jiang: "On the day of the flower festival, who undertook those tulip flowers used as decoration?"

The man's eyes were dripping, and just as he wanted to speak, he heard Li Jiang say again: "You'd better tell the truth, my junior brother doesn't have a good temper." ”

Mu Dong cooperated with him and made a fierce expression, and the man could only resign himself to his fate: "It is Yao Bing, the owner of Linglong Flower Workshop, who will provide all kinds of flowers to serve the imperial court every year during the flower festival wine. He himself was not originally from the Apocalypse, when he was a child, he came here with his father to do business, and found that the soil here is very suitable for growing flowers, so he settled here, after his father died, Yao Bing inherited the family business, and the business became bigger and bigger, and now it has become a royal family. ”

Li Jiang: "Is he the only boss in Linglong Flower Workshop?"

The person thought for a while and said: "The boss is a person, and the shareholders don't know, it is estimated that there are several." ”

Li Jiang: "Who are the shareholders?"

The hanger shrugged: "I don't know this, the secret of the merchant is never passed on, this is the rule." ”

Mu Dong glared at him: "Don't you claim to know astronomy and geography?"

The hanging person squeezed out a wry smile: "I'm not trying to eat ...... for a mouthful of food."

Mu Dong rolled up his sleeves: "Thanks to you for meeting us who are so easy to talk to, if you meet someone with a hot temper, you don't know how you died!"

The hanger muttered: "I really didn't see it......"

Li Jiang: "Where is Linglong Flower Workshop?"

The person who hung it pointed in the direction: "Just turn the corner of that street, you can see a very beautiful house." ”

Li Jiang pulled the two of them and walked in the direction of the target.

Mu Dong was puzzled: "Why don't you let me beat him, I get angry when I look at his face!"

Li Jiang ignored him, and Shen Xun said: "That person is right, this is not our territory, if you beat someone here, it will be very troublesome." ”

Mu Dong: "Then we want the money back, don't do anything, we will suffer a lot." ”

Shen Xun looked at him, a strange light flashed in his eyes: "You can wait until we leave the Apocalypse Kingdom and then sneak back to kill him, without knowing it." ”

Obviously it was a joke, but Mu Dong really began to seriously think about the feasibility of this plan.

Shen Xun raised his forehead, I don't know whether to say that he kept his promise or was naïve and stupid.

Not long after walking, a magnificent mansion appeared in front of me.

The vermilion gate is closed, and there is a plaque hanging on it, and the four big characters of Linglong Flower Workshop are dragon flying and phoenix dancing, strong and powerful.

Li Jiang stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, a kind old man came out, looked at it a few times, and said, "You are here to find the master?"

Li Jiang: "Yes, please let me know. ”

The old man nodded and went in.

After a while, he came out again and said to the three people: "A few people, please come in." ”

After entering the house, the three of them knew how big this exquisite flower workshop was.

There is a long corridor in the middle of the wide courtyard, and the lotus ponds are repaired on both sides, it is the height of summer, the lotus flowers are full of ponds, the lotus fragrance is overflowing, and the heart is relaxed and happy. There is a rockery in the pool, and the clear water flows down the rockery, and the sound is pleasant.

Passing through the corridor, in the center is the main hall, in front of which stands a huge screen carved from white marble, on which is carved a painting of flowers and birds, which is fascinating and lifelike.

After a distance on both sides of the screen, there are two long verandahs, which stretch far away, and a few orioles hang on the trellises, and several orioles shuttle through them, making a brisk bird's call.

Almost the entire garden is decorated with a variety of flowers, giving the illusion of being at a flower exhibition.

Mu Dong was stunned, and quietly said to Li Jiang: "See, this is the life of a rich man, I don't know if I can live in such a big house in my life." ”

Li Jiang glanced at him: "A place as big as Qingyun Sect, haven't you already lived in it?"

Mu Dong looked at him like a retarded eye: "Are you serious?"

There was a light cough behind him, and Yao Bing, the owner of the flower shop, was slowly walking out of his palatial living room, playing with two jade balls in his hands, and a bright yellow brocade robe almost blinded the eyes of the three of them.

Yao Bing greeted the guests with a smile: "Three guests, but you want to buy flowers?"

Li Jiang: "No, I just want to ask the boss about the poisoning of someone in the capital." ”

To do business, Yao Bing naturally has his own set of means, and businessmen are always cautious.

He asked, "A few people look at the eyes, not like the locals, I don't know what this matter has to do with you?"

Li Jiang: "That's right, a friend who was with us accidentally got poisoned, according to her, it was because she started to go wrong after touching the tulip flowers supplied by your shop, and the three of us came to let the boss know something. ”

Yao Bing: "You mean to say that there is a problem with my words?"

Li Jiang said straightly: "That's right. He took out the petals he had picked up on the ground before and explained the reason to Yao Bing.

Yao Bing looked at the petals, Li Jiang had been observing his expression, and keenly noticed that a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It seems that he was unaware.

The jade ball in his hand thumped, Yao Bing walked back and forth a few steps, as if he was thinking, Li Jiang waited for him patiently.

But after a while, he stopped where he was and gestured to the three of them: "Three, let's talk inside." ”

Li Jiang and Mu Dong glanced at each other, and then followed Yao Bing into the inner hall.
