I Have Six Plug-ins

Chapter 252 Resourcefulness

Ning Xingzhi stomped his feet and said, "It's absolutely true, the Zhu family has become a mess."

He described it.

Last night, after Zhu Youxuan and others all died, the entire Zhu family was leaderless.

The servants were terrified at first.

But then, they discovered that the assailant had already left and had no intention of harming them.

At this time, seeing this situation, some servants completely let themselves go, and began to frantically search Zhu's mansion and plunder property.

One with one.

Just like that, the servants swept away Zhu's property one by one, and fled away scrambling to be the first.

Other servants, a small number, were more loyal, and they found someone.

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

Ning Xingzhi said, "This blind fortune teller is Zhu Youxuan's confidant. He didn't stop those servants from fleeing with money. He only gathered those loyal servants around him, and then told them to go to a private house and pick up a young man. After coming over, I informed the stewards who worked for the Zhu family that they were all big shopkeepers.

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

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

Ning Xingzhi spread his hands and said, "Lan Dongyu presented evidence, including Zhu Youxuan's secret letter and family inheritance tokens. Anyway, in the end, he persuaded those big shopkeepers, and everyone regarded Zhu Benzong as the new master of the Zhu family."

Dian Wei: "The Zhu family still has many offshoots. Will those clansmen agree with this Zhu Benzong?"

Ning Xingzhi: "Zhu Benzong is a nine-level pagoda, with the support of those big shopkeepers, it will be difficult for those side branch people to rebel."

Dian Wei curled his lips and said, "How can a nine-level pagoda keep the Zhu family's huge property?"

Ning Xingzhi: "So, I have to admire that Lan Dongyu's courage. He asked Zhu Benzong to use all his family property to propose marriage to Mu Bingqing, and the Mu and Zhu families 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 status 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 in exchange for the wealth of the Zhu family. gone."

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

Ning Xingzhi: "Compared to the newly unified Mu family, which ended a long-term split,

It is a time of unprecedented strength, and there is nothing more reliable than relying on the Mu family. "

Dian Wei couldn't help being silent.

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

"Did Mrs. Mu agree?"

"Of course I agree, how could I disagree." Ning Xingzhi sighed, "Taking 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.

Sort out what happened.

Because of the change in Heilian Temple, Dian Wei seized the opportunity to wipe out Zhu's family in one fell swoop, and at the same time, Mu's Water School also seized the opportunity to overthrow the Han School.

These two incidents directly led to the merger of the two giants of Mu and Zhu, or in other words, the Mu family annexed the Zhu family and became stronger than imagined.

As for the Zhu family, it was a free gift.

But this is also a helpless solution, without the cover of the Mu family, the Zhu family will inevitably fall apart.

It's not that the Zhu family has no enemies. Seeing this situation, those enemies rushed forward. I'm afraid the Zhu family will completely cut off their children and grandchildren.

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

Dian Wei twitched his lips, "What a Lan Dongyu, if you make three or three moves, it will ruin my big business."

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

...

Zhu's mansion is covered with white silk.

A carriage parked majestically outside the main gate of Zhu Mansion, and an old man in black robe got out of the carriage.

The old man's temples are stained with frost, but there are not many wrinkles on his face, so he doesn't look old.

And he is Mu Miaoyuan, the leader of the Mu Clan's Water School.

Of course, Mu Miaoyuan's status 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 dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, respectfully saluted.

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

Mu Miaoyuan felt slightly embarrassed, never expected that the wealthy Zhu family would be reduced to this overnight, just thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle.

Will the Mu family become like this one day?

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

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

Mu Miaoyuan raised his hand and said with a smile: "From now on, Mu Zhu will be a family, united in the same spirit, and united in the same hatred."

Having said that, Mu Miaoyuan's expression darkened, "Have you found out who the murderer is?"

Lan Dongyu said in a deep voice: "From the confession of the servant, there is only one perpetrator."

"one person?!"

Mu Miaoyuan gasped, and was so frightened that he panicked inexplicably, "Just one person killed the three bone-forging members of the Zhu family?"

Even if the bone-forging strong fight against each other, they can still escape, and it is difficult to keep them.

One can imagine the difficulty of killing all three forging bones.

Even Mu Miaoyuan wasn't sure about this kind of thing, at least he couldn't do it alone.

Mu Miaoyuan couldn't help but take a deep look at Lan Dongyu. At this moment, he understood a little why this blind man took refuge in the Mu family so decisively.

I'm afraid that in the entire Ice and Fire City, only the Mu family can protect them.

"The three bone-forging members of the Zhu family just came out of the Black Lotus Temple. Maybe they were injured and someone took advantage of their loopholes."

Mu Miaoyuan could only think so.

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

Lan Dongyu: "No one has seen the perpetrator's true face. Without a single witness, there is no way for the other party to know the process of the murder."

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

Lan Dongyu had been prepared for a long time, and said: "This way please."

soon.

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

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

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

Later, he saw Zhu Youxuan's and Zhu Kaixiong's corpses, all of which were in dilapidated condition. They died in a disfigured, horrible way.

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

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

Zhu Benzong replied: "Uncle's body is torn apart, so we can't find the whole body."

One is worse than the other!

Mu Miaoyuan's expression froze immediately.

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

Lan Dongyu: "Please take a look at the other corpses."

Mu Miaoyuan nodded, and lifted a piece of white cloth next to it, just look at it! The old man's pupils shrank involuntarily.

The man's skin was torn all over, with almost no intact skin, and his eyes were covered with criss-cross scratches.

"This is……"

Mu Miaoyuan was extremely astonished. He had never seen such a bizarre way of death before, so he couldn't help saying in shock: "Could it be that these thousand-odd lives were all itching to death?"

Lan Dongyu nodded: "I suspect that they were poisoned, and their bodies were extremely itchy. They had to scratch themselves hard, but in the end it didn't help, and they were itching to death."

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

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

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

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

These words made Mu Miaoyuan blush slightly.

Speaking of which, his Water faction's success in suppressing the Han faction was not due to a long-planned plan, and he also took advantage of the opportunity of the Black Lotus Temple.

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

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

Lan Dongyu: "The perpetrator came prepared, leaving almost no trace at the scene."

Mu Miaoyuan: "Who is it impossible to find out the perpetrator?"

Lan Dongyu: "That's not true. In fact, there are 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 everything.

Lan Dongyu said slowly: "First, 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 priceless. These Jade Buddhas disappeared along with the perpetrators."

"Jade Buddha, Jinyu?"

Mu Miaoyuan understands that as long as he finds the whereabouts of the Jade Buddha, there is hope to track down the perpetrator.

Lan Dongyu: "Secondly, after the master came back from the Black Lotus Temple, he chatted with me for a while, and mentioned that he entered the Black Lotus Temple this time and obtained a treasure. Depressed."

As soon as this word comes out!

Mu Miaoyuan was startled for a moment, then thought of something, his face changed drastically.

Lan Dongyu paused, and continued: "Although the master didn't say it clearly, I guess that the most precious thing in the Black Lotus Temple should have fallen 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, there is a kind of black lotus planted in the Black Lotus Temple, which takes only 900 years to ripen and has infinite uses.

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

Never expected that the person who took the black lotus would be Zhu Youxuan.

But Mu Miaoyuan was not a fool, why did 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 that thing?"

Lan Dongyu spread his hands and said: "The master didn't say it clearly at the time, and I'm blind again, how do you ask me to produce 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. It can be seen that he really got a good baby."

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

Lan Dongyu nodded: "I have reason to suspect that the assailant raided the Zhu Mansion just because of that treasure."

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

Soon, Mu Bingqing arrived.

The glamorous and unparalleled Mu Bingqing appeared in the Zhu residence...

When Zhu Benzong saw it at a glance, his heart swayed immediately, he fell in love with it, and his eyes straightened.

Mu Bingqing bowed her head, "Grandpa, what are your orders?"

Mu Miaoyuan: "That black lotus was most likely taken away by Zhu Youxuan, and then taken away by the assailant."

Mu Bingqing's tender body trembled, she thought carefully, and immediately checked Zhu Youxuan's body, sniffing and sniffing close to the corpse.

After a while, she raised her head and muttered: "The fragrance of black lotus is very strong. Those who have touched the black lotus must leave the fragrance in their hands. There is indeed a faint and strange fragrance on Zhu Youxuan's body, which does not belong to any spice, even bloody fragrance Can't hide the smell."

Hearing this, Mu Miaoyuan was moved and said: "Check, let me find out! No matter who the perpetrator is, even if he digs three feet, he must be found!"
