Chapter 252 Wisdom

  Ning Xingzhi stomped his feet and said, "It's absolutely true, the Zhu family has already turned into a pot of porridge."

  He described it.

   Last night, after Zhu Youxuan and others all died, the entire Zhu Mansion was headless.

  People were terrified at first.

   But then, they found out that the perpetrators had already left and had no intention of harming them.

   At this time, some servants saw this situation, completely let go of themselves, and began to frantically search the Zhu Mansion and plunder the property.

   One with one.

  In this way, the servants swept away the property of the Zhu family and ran away.

   Some of the other servants, a small number, are more loyal, and they have found someone.

   "Zhu Youxuan has been raising a fortune-teller, a blind man named Lan Dongyu."

Ning Xingzhi eloquently said, "This blind fortune-teller is Zhu Youxuan's confidant, he did not stop those servants from fleeing with money, only gathered those loyal servants around him, and then ordered them to go to a private house and pick up a young man Come here, and then notify the stewards who serve the Zhu family, all of whom are the shopkeepers of the shop.

  Later, Lan Dongyu pointed at the young man and announced to the big shopkeepers that the young man's name was Zhu Benzong, the biological son of Zhu Youxuan, and the heir that Zhu Youxuan had secretly cultivated just in case. "

   Hearing this, Dian Wei said speechlessly: "Do other people believe this?"

  Ning Xingzhi's hand said: "Lan Dongyu has produced evidence, including Zhu Youxuan's secret letter and family inheritance token. Anyway, in the end, he persuaded those big shopkeepers, and everyone took Zhu Benzong as the new owner of the Zhu family."

  Dianwei: "The Zhu family still has a lot of side branches. Those clansmen would agree with this Zhu Benzong?"

  Ning Xingzhi: "Zhu Benzong is a ninth-level pagoda. With the support of those big shopkeepers, it is very difficult for those side branches to rebel."

  Dian Wei pouted and said, "How can a ninth-level pagoda keep the Zhu family's huge property?"

  Ning Xingzhi: "So, I have to admire the courage of that Lan Dongyu. He asked Zhu Benzong to use all his family property to propose a marriage to Mu Bingqing, and the Mu Zhu family married and tied them together."

  Dian Wei frowned and said, "Why is it Mu Bingqing?"

Ning Xingzhi: "Lan Dongyu's explanation is very simple, Mu Bingqing's identity is very embarrassing right now, and the Mu family urgently needs to get rid of Mu Bingqing, there is no better deal than marrying her off and then exchanging for the wealth of the Zhu family. already."

  Dian Wei: "Can't the Su family and the Shao family work?"

  Ning Xingzhi: "Compared to the newly unified Mu Clan, the end of the long-term split is at a time when it is unprecedentedly strong. There is nothing more reliable than turning to the Mu Clan."

  Dian Wei couldn't help being silent.

   Thinking about it carefully, I have to admit that Lan Dongyu made an extremely wise decision.

   "Does the Mu family agree?"

   "Of course I agree, how could I disagree." Ning Xingzhi sighed, "Take this opportunity, with a mere marriage, the Mu family can absorb the entire Zhu family. No fool would refuse such a huge benefit."

  Dian Wei understood.

   comb through what happened.

  Because of this change in the Black Lotus Temple, Dian Wei seized the opportunity to destroy the Zhu family in one fell swoop, and at the same time, the Mu Clan's Water Sect also seized the opportunity to overthrow the Han Sect.

   These two things directly led to the merger of the two giants of Mu Zhu, or the Mu clan annexed the Zhu family and became more powerful than imagined.

   And the Zhu family, it was a free gift.

   But this is also a no-brainer, without Mu's covering, the Zhu family will inevitably fall apart.

   It is not that the Zhu family has no enemies. When those enemies saw this situation, they swarmed them, and I am afraid that the Zhu family will completely cut off their descendants.

   "Unexpectedly, the Zhu family is not completely over."

  Dian Wei curled his lips, "It's a good Lan Dongyu, but it will ruin my affairs."

   He took out the bunch of keys and looked at the three keys with a gloomy expression on his face.

  …

   Zhu Mansion, covered with white silk.

   A carriage stopped grandly outside the gate of Zhu Mansion, and an old man in a black robe got off the carriage.

  This old man has dyed cream on his temples, but his face is not very wrinkled, so he doesn't look old.

   And he was Mu Miaoyuan, the leader of the Mu Clan's Water Sect.

   Of course, Mu Miaoyuan's identity at this time is different from yesterday, and he is already the supreme ruler of the Mu family.

   In front of the gate, Lan Dongyu and a young man put on sackcloth and filial piety, and saluted respectfully.

   "The Zhu family has suffered drastic changes, please mourn."

   Mu Miaoyuan felt a little sigh, never expected that the wealthy Zhu family would be reduced to this overnight, thinking about it would make one's scalp tingle.

  Will the Mu family become like this one day?

  Lan Dongyu said: "Patriarch Mu, thank you for coming to mourn."

   Then, the young man beside him said nervously, "Junior Zhu Benzong, see Grandpa Mu."

  Mu Miaoyuan raised her hand and said with a smile: "In the future, Mu Zhu will be a family, with the same spirit and the same hatred."

   Having said this, Mu Miaoyuan's face sank, "Have you found out who the murderer is?"

  Lan Dongyu said solemnly: "From the testimony of the servant, I know that there is only one perpetrator."

"A person?!"

  Mu Miaoyuan sucked in a breath of cold air, and was so frightened that he panicked inexplicably, "One person killed the three forging bones of the Zhu family?"

  Bone forging powerhouses fight, even if they can't beat them, they can still escape, and it's hard to keep them.

   Want to kill all three forged bones, the difficulty can be imagined.

   This kind of thing, even he Mu Miaoyuan is not completely sure, at least he can't do it alone.

   Mu Miaoyuan couldn't help but take a deep look at Lan Dongyu, at this moment he kind of understood why this blind man was so decisive to join the Mu family.

   I'm afraid, in the entire Icefire City, only the Mu family can protect them.

   "The three forged bones of the Zhu family have just come out of the Black Lotus Temple. Maybe they were injured and they were exploited."

  Mu Miaoyuan can only think so.

   The old man's face tightened and he asked, "Any clues?"

  Lan Dongyu: "No one has seen the true face of the perpetrator, there is no witness, and there is no way to know the process of the murder."

  Mu Miaoyuan: "Take me to see the corpse."

  Lan Dongyu was already prepared, and said, "Please come here."

soon.

   In a hall, there were many corpses neatly placed on the ground, lined up in rows, all covered with white cloth.

  Mu Miaoyuan glanced at it, and it felt extraordinarily spectacular.

   After all, he had never seen so many corpses at once in his life!

   Afterwards, he saw Zhu Youxuan and Zhu Kaixiong's corpses.

   "Zhu Youxuan's neck was almost broken, and Zhu Kaixiong's neck was completely broken."

   Mu Miaoyuan's expression became more solemn, "Hey, why don't you see Zhu Guisheng's body?"

   Zhu Benzong replied: "Uncle's body is torn apart, so that the body cannot be found."

   One is worse than the other!

   Mu Miaoyuan's expression suddenly stiffened.

   Damn it, he has lived for so many years, and he has never encountered such a wicked thing.

  Lan Dongyu: "Please look at other people's bodies."

   Mu Miaoyuan nodded and lifted a piece of white cloth next to him, this look! The old man's pupils could not help shrinking.

   The skin of the man was torn all over his body, with almost no intact skin, and his eyes were full of criss-crossing scratches.

"This is……"

  Mu Miaoyuan was extremely stunned. He had never seen such a bizarre method of death before, so he couldn't help but said in awe, "Could it be that all these more than 1,000 lives have been killed?"

  Lan Dongyu nodded: "I suspect that they were poisoned, and they were so itchy that they had to scratch themselves hard. In the end, it was of no avail, and they died of itching."

   Mu Miaoyuan frowned into a pimple, secretly startled: "Is there such a strange poison in the world?"

  Lan Dongyu said calmly: "There should be. If you investigate carefully, you can always find out."

  Mu Miaoyuan: "Well, the other party is so cruel, it can be seen that the perpetrator has a deep hatred with the Zhu family and has been planning for a long time."

  Lan Dongyu took it seriously: "The perpetrator killed the murder on the night when the master and others escaped from the Black Lotus Temple. It was not a temporary intention, but was already waiting for the opportunity."

   These words made Mu Miaoyuan's face slightly red.

  Speaking of which, the fact that the Water Sect was able to successfully suppress the Han Sect was not because he had planned for a long time, but also took advantage of the opportunity of the Black Lotus Temple.

   The tricks they can think of, others can naturally think of.

  Mu Miaoyuan quickly changed the topic: "Do you have any clever plan to find this perpetrator?"

  Lan Dongyu: "The perpetrators came prepared, and there were hardly any traces left at the scene."

  Mu Miaoyuan: "Then who can't find out the perpetrator?"

  Lan Dongyu: "Not really, there are actually two clues that can pinpoint the perpetrator."

   "Oh, let's hear it."

  Mu Miaoyuan had long heard that this blind fortune-teller was resourceful, and Zhu Youxuan regarded him as a confidant, and would ask him for advice on anything.

  Lan Dongyu said slowly: "One, the Zhu family obtained a batch of precious jade Buddhas in the Black Lotus Temple, all of which are made of gold and jade, and are invaluable. These batches of jade Buddhas disappeared along with the perpetrators."

   "Jade Buddha, golden jade?"

   Mu Miaoyuan understood that as long as he found the whereabouts of the Jade Buddha, he could hope to track down the perpetrator.

Lan Dongyu: "Second, after the master came back from Heilian Temple, he chatted with me for a while, and mentioned that he entered Heilian Temple this time and got a treasure. Boring."

   As soon as these words come out!

   Mu Miaoyuan was stunned at first, and then he thought of something, and his face changed greatly.

  Lan Dongyu paused, and then said: "Although the master did not say it clearly, I guess that the most precious thing in the Black Lotus Temple should fall into his hands."

  Mu Miaoyuan took a deep breath, he naturally knew what Lan Dongyu was talking about, Hei Lian!

  According to the information provided by Mu Bingqing, a kind of black lotus has been cultivated in the Black Lotus Temple.

  It's a pity that they were one step late, and the black lotus was taken first by others.

   Never thought that the person who picked the black lotus would be Zhu Youxuan.

   But Mu Miaoyuan is not a fool. How could he feel that Lan Dongyu was borrowing a knife to kill someone, and asked, "What evidence do you have to prove that Zhu Youxuan got it?"

Lan Dongyu spread his hands and said: "Master didn't say clearly at the time, I'm blind again, how can you ask me to show evidence? However, the Zhu family entered the Black Lotus Temple this time, and many people were killed and injured, but the master was in a good mood. This shows that he really got a good baby."

  Mu Miaoyuan: "Let me guess, that baby is gone, isn't it?"

  Lan Dongyu nodded: "I have reason to suspect that ~lightnovelpub.net~ the perpetrator is for that treasure, and that's why he raided the Zhu Mansion."

   Mu Miaoyuan was silent for a while, and then he ordered a squire to have Mu Bingqing come over as soon as possible.

   Soon, Mu Bingqing arrived.

  As soon as the beautiful and unparalleled Mu Bingqing appeared in the Zhu residence...

   Zhu Benzong saw it at first sight, and his heart swayed, he fell in love with it, and his eyes were straight.

   Mu Bingqing bowed and bowed: "Grandpa, what are your orders?"

  Mu Miaoyuan: "The black lotus was most likely picked by Zhu Youxuan, and then taken by the perpetrator."

   Mu Bingqing's delicate body trembled, and after thinking about it carefully, she immediately checked Zhu Youxuan's body, and sniffed and smelled close to the corpse.

After a while, she raised her head and pondered: "The fragrance of black lotus is fragrant. Anyone who has been in contact with black lotus must have left a lingering fragrance on their hands. Zhu Youxuan does have a faint scent that does not belong to any spice, even bloody. Can't hide the smell."

   Hearing this, Mu Miaoyuan said with emotion: "Check, let me check to the end! No matter who the perpetrator is, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he must be found!"
