Chapter 87

"Panicked, what's the matter? Why don't you see your son?" [Mu Yuanfeng] held a cup of tea, this tea should have just been brewed, and it was still steaming.

"Prime Minister... Son... Childe was killed—" The man fell to his knees and wept bitterly.

As soon as these words came out, I heard the sound of the water glass falling to the floor and smashing, and the sound was very crisp.

Mu Yuanfeng was not as painful as the man, first shocked and then angry, raised his eyes to look at the man who was crawling at his feet, and said, "You wait for the boat to come back, how can there be villains on this boat to kill him?"

"It's... When this boy was on the shore, he saw a man with a sword at his waist, which was very delicate... I thought... Thinking of taking it for himself, I inquired and found out that this person also wanted to take a boat... He tried his best to trick his people into the ship, thinking that there would be a chance to get his sword... I never thought about it..."

"Waste things! Even if you have been robbing people's girls before, you don't have long eyes when you go far away, can a person with a good sword be such an incompetent person?"

This person was prostrate on the ground, his whole body and voice were trembling, and before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a scolding from this Mu Yuanfeng.

At this time, [Mu Xiangping] walked in, he was the eldest son of the Mu Mansion, and there were two older sisters above, but he was already married.

"Xiangping, you came just in time, your brother was killed by the Jianghu people. Mu Yuanfeng has regained his calm, but in his opinion, the person who bears his surname "Mu" should not die like this.

Mu Xiangping is the same as his father, and the expression on his face changes relatively little, his younger brother was originally a gentleman, and Mu Xiangping himself not only holds a high position in the court, but even intends to take over his father's position as prime minister, so if it is not something that affects his career, he will not care much. Mu Xiangping poured his father a cup of tea again and said, "Father, don't worry, just leave this matter to me to solve." ”

"Hmph! You said that he was ridiculous, he didn't even understand the details of the other party, and he wanted to take other people's things!" Mu Yuanfeng said this pun, not only to point out his son's ignorance, but also to remind his eldest son to know himself and his opponent in everything he does.

"Now that Shu and Chu are at war, the DPRK and China still rely on my father to control the government, and my father must not worry too much. The third brother's affairs will be handled by me, and I will give my father a satisfactory result. After Mu Xiangping said that, he motioned left and right to take this person down.

Left and right stepped forward and brought the man down. After the man walked out of the door with his servant, he was overjoyed, thinking that he should be able to get a good reward, and he did not come in vain. Left and right took the man to a less crowded place in the backyard, and before the man could react, a wooden stick smashed on the back of the head, and the conversation between the two people was faintly heard when the man fell to the ground.

"The son didn't come back, but your guard ran away first, the lord and the eldest son didn't say it clearly, and the little one also knew that your dog was going to stay here. ”

"Working in this house, even if you lose your life, this son must not lack arms and legs, so you can come back cheekily?"

When the two men had finished speaking, they picked up the wooden stick in their hands and struck again, and the man left no room for it, as if he were beating an animal, stick after stick, until the man lying on the ground did not move again. Only then did he gasp and throw away the wood in his hand, and then found a straw mat to roll the man in, found a place where there was no one, and threw it directly.

Mu Yuanfeng sat in the lobby of the Mufu with his eyes slightly closed, the tea on the table had long been out of heat, and then Mu Yuanfeng slowly spoke: "On the first seven days of your third brother's congratulations, you must bring the head of the villain to sacrifice, if you can find the best, if you can't find it, you can just find a scapegoat, and you can't lose the face of my Mufu." ”

Mu Xiangping, who was standing nearby, nodded and said, "Although my father is relieved, I will thoroughly investigate this matter to the end." ”

Mu Yuanfeng took the cup of cold tea and drank it all, although the tea at this time had cooled, but it was surprisingly bitter, and after drinking this tea, he said: "Let your second brother handle the funeral, you can go and check it." ”

Mu Xiangping bent down and nodded, and then slowly withdrew from the lobby, and when he walked out, he saw this Mu Xiangping's posture and appearance, his steps were heavy and powerful, with unusual arrogance in his eyes, and his whole popularity was extraordinary, and he was very recognizable in the crowd, and a face that showed his age, his beard was very carefully trimmed, and it could be seen that he should have been taken care of regularly.

Mu Xiangping has a few things that are clear, one is that the person who killed his brother wears a famous sword and has strong martial arts, the second is the same route as his brother's return, and the third is that he listened to the description of the person who came back, the person is very recognizable, he is a very standard and handsome face, and he is also equipped with a noble jade pendant around his waist. In this way, it is easy to find out this person, there are not many famous swords in the world, and the handsome appearance is not rare, and even the best jade pendant on the waist, the three are one, it is not difficult to guess that it should be a disciple of the famous and decent family in the rivers and lakes in Southern Chu, just visit one by one, you can guess the bottom line, because the famous and decent people are also rare, so that the original answer to the fog is very clear.

"Recently, there have been major ceremonies held by the Jianghu sect, or a more solemn meeting or something like that. "Mu Xiangping came to a place that is famous for selling intelligence, and this place has cooperation with post stations all over the country, who walks over, where people go, and what to do, whether they look panicked or indifferent, they will all be sold to the intelligence department, and the intelligence department will then sell it.

This place that sells intelligence is not big, it is a small wine shop, don't look at the small scale, the price of this bowl of wine is a lot, ordinary people are discouraged, and people who can enter the store will not lack the money for this drink.

The shopkeeper walked out, poured a bowl of wine, and said, "The scope of your question is large, how many mountains are there in the world, how many sects are there, how many sects are there, and what kind of scale is the scale of the meeting... It's not that the villain is afraid that you can't afford to pay the silver taels, but this can save you money, and the villain doesn't want to overcharge a cent. ”

This wine shop left a good impression on Mu Xiangping, threw out a silver ingot, raised his eyes and said: "The Jianghu sect in Shuchu has been holding some kind of grand ceremony recently. ”

Xiao Er took the ingot of silver, and when he reached out to pick it up, he almost didn't pull it off the table, and the full amount of silver was finally taken down, resting it on his waist and saying: "Recently, there is a grand ceremony in the Chudi Sword Sect, and the heroes from all walks of life are called on heroes from all walks of life to go, I heard that it is the wedding of the eldest disciple, and by the way, the eldest disciple is the next head of the successor. ”

"Where is the Sword Sect?" Mu Xiangping didn't mean to drink water, and still looked at this little two.

"Master, that's the second question. "Xiao Er didn't mean to cheat, there are rules on this road, and the shopkeeper behind him is still watching.

Mu Xiangping was not angry, threw out the second ingot of silver, and said, "Where is it?" ”

"In the vicinity of Chu Mountain, the location of this sword sect is difficult to find, and the entire sect is arranged outside the sword mound, if it is not for the invitation of its sect people, it is easy to not be able to enter this sect, but recently there have been a wide range of hero posts, that... Then you can blend in with the flow of people and get inside. After Xiao Er finished speaking, he took the silver tael, but this person still didn't go away, standing aside and waiting for the next question of the master in front of him.

Mu Xiangping was already very sure at this time that the person who killed his brother was the person in the Sword Sect, even if he was not a disciple of the Sword Sect, he was also a person from the rivers and lakes who was invited, and he knew that as long as he could go to the Sword Sect, he would be able to find that person on the spot. After thinking about it, the pastor got up and prepared to leave.

Xiao Er saw that he had no questions to ask again, so he added: "The master is generous, and the villain will give him a free hint to the master, this sword sect is not a good place to seek revenge, I am afraid that there is no return, the master had better think clearly, the sword sect master is not a sleeping lion." ”

Mu Xiangping was stunned for a moment and then smiled, he never thought that the matter of the Mu Mansion was also one of the information sold in the rivers and lakes, but this did not affect anything, the news of his brother's death would be known to everyone sooner or later, so why worry about someone knowing, but this little er's prompt is indeed worth thinking about, the conclusion of this matter can only be concluded after some thought, and the face of the Mu Mansion is not so easy to lose.

Whether to find out the people in the rivers and lakes or find a scapegoat, this is an exam question left by Mu Yuanfeng for him. If you find out the people in the rivers and lakes, you have to go to the Sword Sect, and it is convenient to find a scapegoat, but if the matter is revealed in the future, it will inevitably become the laughing stock of others, so that the face of the Mu Mansion is completely lost, after careful consideration, Mu Xiangping decided to go to the Sword Sect, but he wants to find a few masters of martial arts, even if he can't find out the villain, he must be able to retreat with his whole body.

"Brother Fan, this land of Beihai is also a lively place!" Liu Cong and the others are already in Beihai City.

Fan Shijin is quite envious of the people who live here, green mountains and green waters, as well as beaches and waves, the ancient literati all pursued the land of mountains and rivers, is the sea water in front of him also this pursuit? In Fan Shijin's view, this must be true! The sea water is salty and can produce salt, and fresh water can be boiled and drunk directly. Besides, there is also this north wind, which can remove the heat of summer, no wonder many emperors have been in this Youzhou throughout the ages, it is indeed a treasure of feng shui, even if he has not yet arrived in Youzhou at this time, Fan Shijin can understand the goodness of that land. There are mountains, rivers, and the endless ocean, what is in the sea, the sea is boundless and unfathomable, if there are gods on the top of the high mountain, the depth of the sea is not nothing, otherwise where does the dragon king come from.

"If you go any further, you'll have to cross the river again!" said Wei Shujin, holding his horse and pointing ahead.

"Crossing this river, it is a land route, and then you can go all the way to Youzhou, and you can go directly to Youzhou in a few days. Fan Shijin took out the map again, and the group at this time had passed through the entire land of Shenzhou, how far the road was, and he was no longer far from the final destination, and he could sing all the way after crossing the river.
