Chapter 21
Zhu Mu was stunned, when Ying Si died suddenly, there were many speculations from all sides, but Han Yumen covered it very tightly, only saying that Ying Si was a recurrence of an old disease and lost his vitality, Mu Yuanzi mentioned the cause of Ying Si's death at this time, is it ......
Zhu Mulian asked, "Could it be related to Zha Hui?"
Mu Yuanzi: "You guessed right, the old boss was plotted by Cha Hui and was seriously injured and died. ”
"That's the case!" Zhu Mu was really shocked.
Mu Yuanzi continued with an indignant face: "That Cha Hui deceived people too much, on the surface he was benevolent and moral, but in fact he was ambitious, not only plotting against the old master, but also disguising the old master's will, asking the head to secretly release the civet cat and accept that Zhou Teng as a personal disciple.
Fortunately, before his death, the old boss left a secret message that only the boss could understand, so that we could know the truth.
But that Cha Hui is the head of the city, and his power is monstrous, plus the old head is dead, the situation of Hanyumen is not optimistic, the head can only compromise and seek perfection, first pretend to obey, secretly release the civet, and then accept that Zhou Teng as a personal disciple, just to deceive Cha Hui's old horseman. ”
"I see. ”
Zhu Mu's eyes flickered, and Mu Yuanzi believed what he said, but he didn't believe it all.
He grew up in Fucheng since he was a child, and he knows Zha Hui very well, the chief manager of Fucheng, who is a difficult person to deal with, and even his grandfather has to be careful.
As the absolute confidant of the mansion owner Situ Zhen, it is a bit far-fetched to say that Zha Hui will plot against him, but the hearts of the people are separated from each other, and who knows what Zha Hui thinks.
If that Zhou Teng is really Zha Hui's illegitimate son, then it seems to make sense to take action against Ying Si and help his son to take the position.
What made him vigilant was that he was afraid that this was Situ Zhen's secret instruction, and he would not make a move, and indirectly control the Hanyumen through Cha Hui's hands, which may not be nothing.
Seeing him like this, Mu Yuanzi said again: "At the right time, you pursued the head of the sect and came to the Hanyu Gate, and the head of the sect then made a plan and accepted you as a personal disciple of the Hanyu Gate, on the one hand, it can be regarded as a kind of secret response to you, and on the other hand, it also has the meaning of delaying Zha Hui's ambitions.
You attack Zhou Teng, the head of the house knows that he is angry on the surface, but in fact he is happy in his heart, the hatred of killing his father is not shared, and the head often washes his face with tears in the middle of the night, eager to kill the thief immediately.
However, Ying Zi and other sisters are still young, and Ying Dang is weak and unusable, so the head can only be false and wrong, and secretly plot. ”
"Great Elder, why didn't you explain these things to me earlier, Yang Yang was really wronged. Zhu Mu closed his eyes and shook his head, his throat twitched, and even a little tears were squeezed out of the corners of his eyes, and his face was distressed.
Mu Yuanzi hurriedly waved his hand: "The virtuous nephew misunderstood, it's not that I can't believe you, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to bear it, although the thief should be cut by a thousand knives, but he must not die in this cold jade gate."
The head of the sect discussed with me before, and wanted to take advantage of the provocation of the Huoyun Sect to secretly attack, but the thief was suspicious by nature, and he was afraid that he would notice something, so he held back.
But just yesterday, that guy actually got involved with the Governor of Bishui County by chance. ”
"Lord Postmaster of Bishui County!"
Zhu Mu was shocked, he already knew it from Yingdang before, but the play always had to be played, so he hurriedly asked, "Great Elder, what's going on?"
Mu Yuanzi's eyes showed a fierce light: "That thief should be very loved by the old man of Cha Hui, he has been vigorously cultivated since he was a child, he has a lot of wisdom, and he has amazing attainments in poetry and songs. ”
Zhu Mu hated that iron could not become steel, "Win and be confused, how can you associate with a thief, isn't this a father who recognizes a thief?"
Mu Yuanzi nodded thoughtfully, and continued: "Let's not mention the matter of winning for the time being, after the head of the family learned the news, he was anxious, I was afraid that the post supervisor would not know the loyalty and treachery, and he would make a villain in vain, and he was even more afraid that the post supervisor would interfere in the affairs of the Hanyu Gate." ”
"Great Elder, don't worry, it's only a pity to think of that adult, but I don't know that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and I don't have any plans to make deep friends when I think about it. Zhu Mu comforted.
"That's what the boss and I thought the same way. ”
Mu Yuanzi nodded in agreement with his point of view, and then continued: "You must also know about the marriage between the Fire Cloud Sect and the Vientiane Cave Heaven, plus the accident of Lord Inspector, you can't assassinate you, so I decided with the head that I must get rid of that thief as soon as possible, which is why I came to tell you the whole truth this time." ”
"Great Elder, what does Yang Yang mean?" Zhu Mu pretended not to understand.
Mu Motoko explained: "The head of the sect has given an order to send that thief to the Vientiane Cave to congratulate him and take the opportunity to get rid of him. In this way, not only can the thief be eliminated, but also the Huoyun Sect can be blamed, even if Cha Hui is angry, it has nothing to do with our Hanyumen. ”
"What an old fox!"
Zhu Mu scolded secretly, but he still pretended to be confused, and asked: "But if the thief reveals the identity of the illegitimate son, the Huoyun Sect and the Vientiane Cave Heaven are jealous, and they may not attack him." ”
Mu Yuanzi: "That's why, the head of the family asked me to come to see the virtuous nephew, just hoping that the virtuous nephew could secretly take action and get rid of the thief in one fell swoop." ”
"Me?" Zhu Mu was stunned.
Mu Yuanzi walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, "Isn't the virtuous nephew willing to help the master?"
"How can it be, I really like Yangyang, as long as Yangyang speaks, I will never shirk, but the stakes are high, everything has to be calculated carefully, and it is the best policy. ”
"It turns out that the virtuous nephew is worried about this. ”
Mu Yuanzi smiled and muttered in his ear, and Zhu Mu's face was treacherous when he heard it.
After Mu Yuanzi left, Li Qianjiang Hou Yan walked in quickly, "Childe, Xu Cheng has a letter from there." ”
Zhu Mu took it and unfolded it, and the content on the note was exactly what Xu Cheng said about Han Yumen asking him to accompany Zhou Teng to the Vientiane Cave to congratulate him, except for this, Xu Cheng didn't say anything else, even the fact that Zhou Teng was the illegitimate son of the chief manager.
Zhu Mu sat with a frown, combing through this series of information.
Regarding Zhou Teng's identity, he thinks it should be true.
If he is really a teenager who grew up in the countryside, how can he have such a deep attainment in poetry.
Poetry is not something that can be achieved quickly overnight, nor can it be achieved overnight by being talented, he has read all those poems, and it is indeed extraordinary.
Regarding Zhou Teng's origin, Zhu Mu believes that in addition to him, other forces should have also investigated, especially the Huoyun Sect, when he released the news that this Zhou Teng was the hole card found by the Hanyumen, it was impossible for the Huoyun Sect to be indifferent.
But no matter how you check, that Zhou Teng doesn't seem to be suspicious.
There is no suspicion, but it is the biggest flaw.
Combined with Zhou Teng's performance in Bihan Xiaozhu, how could a country boy be so calm?
It shows that he has no fear, it shows that he has something to rely on, and the confidence should come from Cha Hui.
Only Zha Hui, the head of the city, has such great energy that can make all forces helpless about the true origin of this cow Ren.
After thinking about this, the actions of Fairy Sunrise and Mu Yuanzi before and after seem to be explained clearly.
As for the Rising Sun Fairy asking him to get rid of that Zhou Teng, no matter it was out of use or what, for him, as long as the result is the same, the process is not important.
Besides, even the post governor of Bishui County confessed to himself, so he shouldn't be able to fake it.
knocked on the handrail, and instructed Li Qianjiang Hou Yan behind him: "Get ready, we will rush to Vientiane Cave overnight." ”
