My Lady Is Not A Demon

Chapter 339 The headless general’s help!

In the middle of the night, there are not many rooms with lights on in the courtyard, and the shadows of the building at night seem particularly lonely.

Chen Mu did not rush back to Nan Fengruo, but came to the house of the prefect.

He decided to spy on Du Piwu in advance.

Although the wolf head tattoos have shown before, there is a close relationship between Du Piwu and Murong Ruo.

However, Chen Mu, who has been investigating the case for many years, felt that something was wrong.

I always feel that there is an important clue buried in it.

Avoiding the guards of the mansion, Chen Mu lurked to the backyard of the mansion and found that the light in the study was on.

From the light and shadow of the window, one can see a person sitting at the desk.

It must be the prefect Du Piwu who can be in the study during this period of time.

Wearing night clothes, Chen Mu used the perception of things outside of the sky and his ability to stick to walls, climbing the walls outside the house like an octopus.

Since absorbing the mysterious ‘Things Beyond the Heaven’ in the tomb, Chen Mu’s strength has been ascension to a new level. And when fighting with that old turtle monster, he can also flexibly use his space abilities to make small shifts.

If he becomes a killer now, he will certainly be able to create a name.

Chen Mu listened attentively.

Quietly in the study, there were occasional swish sounds of Master Du turning over the book, and the swaying candle shadow slightly distorted his figure.

“Isn’t going to sleep in the middle of the night, so I run to read a book?”

Chen Mu frowned slightly.

He quietly took out a handful of Senhan Broken Blade from the storage space, stuck it on the side of his right leg, and waited for the assassination.

Of course, he didn’t really assassinate, but wanted to test it out.

According to the information, Mr. Du has some Cultivation Base, but Cultivation Base is not very high, at most it is the skill of a three-legged cat.

Therefore, Chen Mu wanted to verify.

See if this big guy with wolf head tattoos is the rumored cat or dog.

However, before the assassination, Chen Mu planned to monitor for a period of time to see if he had the luck to hear any important information.

Time passes slowly and silently…

Liuyun Jingyue was also silent.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Du Piwu in the house always sat at the table and read, without any unusual behavior.

During the period, only the maids came to offer tea.

After deliberately waiting for another quarter of an hour, Chen Mu finally gave up monitoring and prepared to assassinate.

But just as he was about to break in, suddenly his eyes caught a Daoist shadow walking towards here.

The figure seemed to emerge suddenly from a certain underground, extremely mysterious.

Chen Mu was taken aback, and quickly reduced his breath.

When the figure approached, Chen Mu felt a stormy sea in his heart, and for a moment thought he was dazzled.

Master Du! ?

That’s right, the mysterious person who appeared in the courtyard was Du Piwu!

Chen Mu looked confused.

Looking at the figures in the room through the candlelight, and then at Master Du walking towards the study, it was difficult to tell for a while.

Isn’t Du Piwu in the study?

While thinking about it, Master Du had already arrived in front of the study and opened the door.

“Didn’t you let you stay honestly? What are you doing out?” The man sitting at the table asked a little displeased.

“It’s too boring to stay down. Come out and let it breathe.”

“You are getting bolder now.”

“Don’t worry, I, Master Du, is more cautious than you, Master Du, and there will be no problems.”

Master Du who entered the study squinted with a smile.

At this moment, Chen Mu, who was monitoring the conversation between the two outside, was completely shocked.

what’s the situation?

How come there are two Du adults! ?

Could it be–

Chen Mu’s sharp eyes gleamed with a faint light, recalling what Bai Xianyu had said before in his mind:

‘Master Du’s temperament often fluctuates, and sometimes it feels like a different person. ’

I see!

At this moment, Chen Mu really understood the reason.

Master Du has a substitute!

This also explains why Master Du’s temperament changed before. From the beginning to the end, Bai Xianyu and the others saw a different Master Du.

And judging from the conversation between the two and the degree of tacit understanding in the weekdays, it is obvious that they have been a substitute for a long time.

“Strange, why does Du Piwu want to find a substitute for himself?”

Chen Mu thought secretly.

Generally speaking, there are only two reasons for such officials to find substitutes.

One is to prevent assassinations.

This phenomenon is very common. Many officials will find substitutes when they learn that they are being targeted by killers.

But this is only a short-term replacement.

After all, a stand-in is a stand-in and can never do what the righteous should do.

Long-term stand-in situations like Du Piwu are almost rare.

So there can only be a second reason-

Du Piwu is often not in the yamen, and must find a substitute to help him with his official duties!

A dignified prefect, but he hasn’t been in Yamen for a long time.

Where will he go?

Does he have other identities?

Countless clues and information were intertwined in Chen Mu’s mind, and gradually filtered and pieced together an incredible answer.

“The same tattoo… Cha Zhuxiang assassinated Lord Murong Ruo… Master Du suddenly died… Yu’s companion was killed… The stability of Dongzhou City… The compromise between Heaven and Earth…”

Chen Mu suddenly took a breath.

Although the inferred conclusion he himself could not believe, it was undoubtedly the most logical conclusion.

That is–

Master Du and Lord Murong Rudder have a high chance of being the same person!

is that true?

If this is true, it will inevitably shake the court and shock all officials, and it will also cause heated discussions among the people.

Chen Mu felt cold in his back and clenched the blade subconsciously.

Do you want to get in and capture the two?

no!

As soon as he thought of it, Chen Mu dismissed it.

If Master Du is really the master of Murong Ruo, with Murong Ruo’s strength, even his own strength Ascension is not his opponent.

Besides, Dongzhou cannot be chaotic now.

In particular, the fact that the important ministers of the imperial court are the masters of heaven and earth should not be leaked out to let the people of the world know.

Otherwise, the imperial court is bound to lose face.

Even the queen dowager who reused Mr. Du before will be burdened with infamy and taint, which will affect the next road to governance.

Other anti-inflammatory forces will also use this to make a big story.

At this time the two people in the house started talking again.

“I know that killing that woman made you very dissatisfied. But she lurked by your side, just trying to avenge her own husband. You are also a pig brain, and let people know my true identity.”

Master Du at the desk said coldly. “Fortunately, her daughter also killed another substitute for me, otherwise…this Dongzhou would be messed up early!”

Master Du, the double at the door, said lightly: “Then you should also leave it to me to deal with.”

“Dispose of it to you, that woman might have ran away long ago.”

“You don’t trust me so much?”

“Hmph, I naturally trust you, but you are too feminine, and you are not always cruel to women. If I hadn’t wiped your ass behind your back these years, you and I could sit securely in the prefecture. now?”

Perhaps it was because of self-knowledge, the stand-in at the door was cold and did not speak.

Hearing these words in Chen Mu’s ears, it is completely certain that Master Du is the master of Murong Ruo!

Chen Mu feels complicated.

Murong Ruo’s case is basically clear.

When Ma Tingzi was made a scapegoat, his wife and daughter came to avenge him.

The wife approached her substitute Du and became Mrs. Du. And learned the identity of the real Master Du from the double-handed Master Du.

And her daughter planned to assassinate Lord Murong Ruo.

It’s a pity that although the assassination was successful, the assassination was also a substitute for Master Murong Rudder, which fell short.

As a result, Mrs. Du’s identity was exposed and she was killed by the real Master Du.

Of course, there are still some questions.

For example, why Ma Xingzi’s wife can approach Master Du.

After the first approach, why not just assassinate? How did you know that Master Du next to her was a stand-in?

Another example, why did Cha Zhuxiang choose to assassinate that way?

But now I can explain another thing.

When Bai Xianyu was looking at Madam Du’s body that day, the mysterious headless general suddenly appeared, intending to assassinate Bai Xianyu.

After hearing a strange sound, the headless general suddenly left.

Thinking about it now, the headless general was not General Feiqiong, but Cha Zhuxiang, the daughter of Ma Tengzi.

And the reason why she appeared that day was because Own’s mother was killed, so she showed up in grief and anger.

Not to assassinate Bai Xianyu.

After figuring this out, Chen Mu secretly sighed: “Although everything is clear, the situation is getting less and less optimistic, for fear that there is still unknown cruelty behind.”

Forget it, let’s leave here first and tell the lady what you have found.

Chen Mu put the broken blade away.

After a pause, he swept towards the eaves.

However, just as he was about to get up, the surrounding breath fluctuated accidentally, and suddenly there was a loud voice in the house: “Who!”

Wow!

The roof shattered in an instant, and the tiles splashed all over!

A figure flew out.

It is Master Du (Master of Murong Ruo).

The fierce Killing intent swept around like a storm, slamming Chen Muyi’s hunting and hunting, and his cheeks were like a knife.

Fuck, daddy was so careless!

Chen Mu was startled and regretted that he was about to draw a knife to deal with it, only to find that the other party rushed towards the courtyard.

Turning his head to look around, I saw a blood-red horse under the moonlight, like a horse that walked out of the painting, and his whole body was dizzy with blood.

And on the horseback, sat a woman in armor.

Women have no heads!

This is the first time Chen Mu has seen the rumored general without a head.

However, at this moment, he has basically determined that the identity of the opponent is not General Feiqiong, but Ma Tengzi’s daughter Cha Zhuxiang.

And… the bride whose head was cut off by the river after they returned from saving Ji Wuming!

“Smelly girl, the old man thought you were dead!”

Master Du squinted at the headless general who appeared, sneered.

Huh!

The headless general did not make a move, but chose to leave.

The blood-red steed crossed an arc of blood, and the surrounding air seemed to be stagnant at this moment, and even the breathing was slowed a bit.

“Since you are here, don’t even think about leaving!”

Master Du (Master Murong Rudder) stomped his feet, and his powerful energy shattered the space that the opponent had deliberately condensed into pieces, and chased the headless general like an electric light.

Soon, the two disappeared.

Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief and quietly left the house under the cover of darkness.

When he came to the street, he glanced at the direction where the headless general had left, and muttered: “Strange, how do you feel that she is deliberately helping me lead Master Murong away.”

After all, it was he who accidentally aroused the alert of Mr. Du in the house just now.

If it hadn’t been for the headless general to show up, I’m afraid he would have been caught by Master Murong Ruo.

After hesitating again and again, Chen Mu decided to follow up and have a look.
