"It's dead!!!"

With a terrified shout, countless birds and birds in the alley were startled.

Whether they are queuing at the entrance of the restaurant or eating inside, or residents in the alley, passers-by, flocking to the entrance of the teahouse to watch with fear and curiosity.

Yes, on the first day of opening of Muting Restaurant, you were silenced in the opposite teahouse, from the shopkeeper to the waiter and even the customers who didn't leave in time.

Died of poison, silently.

It was not discovered until the Yachai broke in.

The other party also carefully prepared a gift. When the yacha opened the door, a corpse fell from the sky and landed right at their feet, which is why there was that scream.

And the reason why more than a dozen people died in vain in this teahouse was just to cover up the identity of the person behind the scenes, so as to prevent people who had seen him from recognizing him.

So I would rather kill by mistake than let one go.

This was the first time Mu Ting saw so many real corpses, and realized that this so-called battle for the title was far more cruel than he had imagined.

More than a dozen human lives disappeared in this world in an instant, how cruel it is.

He also wondered if he indirectly killed these people.

If he didn't talk to Chu Heng, it doesn't matter that he was seen by the emperor, wouldn't the people in the teahouse be silenced today?

When Mu Ting saw the corpse, he thought a lot, and when he left the teahouse, he was still in a daze.

Brother Qi sensed that he was wrong, and persuaded him from the side, "You don't have to blame yourself, if a person is not cruel enough, he can't do such cruel things, and if not today, there will be tomorrow and the day after, such a person You will always try your best to achieve your goal by any means, the one who is wrong is the murderer, and it has nothing to do with you."

Whether it is to provoke conflicts between the emperor and the Prince of Jin's mansion or to conceal his own identity, there are ways. A benevolent person will never kill innocent people. If that person did so, it shows that he has never put the lives of these people on the line. in the eyes.

To him, they are but a stepping stone on the road.

Brother Qi said: "The top priority is to find out who this person is. If the other party's ambition is greater than that of Prince Jin's Mansion, if he succeeds, then everyone's life will be difficult."

Mu Ting collected his thoughts, calmed down, and seriously analyzed with Big Brother Qi, "In fact, he exposed himself by doing this, and even took out the Jin Palace."

Because of the token that was found from the assassin, Prince Jin's Mansion is the most suspected. Now this man has played a trick of silence in order to keep his secret, which makes people feel that he is guilty. The eyes of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice will also gather on this person.

Brother Qi has several years of experience in handling cases. Hearing Mu Ting's words, he shook his head, "Not necessarily. There have always been a lot of cases of guarding and stealing. No one knows whether that person is from the Jin Palace or has another identity."

Of course, if this was the method of Prince Jin's Mansion to clear up the suspicion, then the reaction would be really fast.

"You should ask the third brother to go back earlier. The restaurant will not open tomorrow. It will open for business after a few days when the matter subsides. With so many people dead, the people will not dare to come here for dinner for the time being."

As soon as Big Brother Qi finished speaking, Qi Zhan hurried over, calling Mu Ting's name.

He ran to the innermost part of the alley, and was discussing the price of the shop with others, when someone ran over and yelled that there was a dead person ahead, Qi Zhan immediately ran back and squeezed into the crowd all the way to Mu Ting's side.

"Tingting, are you okay? What's the situation, who died?"

Mu Ting grabbed his hand and shook his head at him, "I'm fine, don't worry."

He said to Brother Qi again, "Brother, then I'll go and tell the shopkeeper, we'll go back first, brother, you have to be careful, and go home early after you're done."

Mu Ting dragged Qi Zhan into the restaurant, and the people who had been eating ran out, and the waiters only needed to clean up the dishes and then close the door.

Mu Ting told the shopkeeper that the door will not be open for business in the past few days, and everyone will go home to rest for a few days, and then open the door after the dead people in the teahouse fade away, and the wages will be paid during this period.

The originally thriving business closed early because of this incident, the shopkeeper nodded helplessly and thanked Mu Ting.

Yu Xuyao ​​and the others didn't leave either, and Mu Ting also called them together. When they went back, they didn't take a carriage, and Mu Ting briefly told them what he knew.

On the spot, they slapped their legs and cursed that the murderer was not a thing.

"Such a vicious thing must be caught as soon as possible, otherwise who knows if it will harm other people, beast!"

"This kind of beast deserves to cut him into pieces, and let him die without peace, otherwise he will feel sorry for the innocent people who were killed by him."

Everyone scolded me sentence by sentence for a long time before they calmed down a little, and then guessed the identity of that person.

"Crazy Chu didn't even have a boy around him today, and went to the teahouse alone to drink tea with that mysterious man. It can be seen that he trusts him very much, which shows that this person has a deep friendship with Madman Chu or the Jin Palace."

"Didn't Mu Ting say that, that person's identity is not simple, and he's old, he must be a high-ranking minister in the court, or a relative of the emperor or something."

"Do you think it will be Wei Guogong?" Guessing, someone suddenly mentioned it.

Yu Xuyao ​​and the others immediately analyzed: "Perhaps it is true, the Duke of Wei's mansion has always been the dog's leg of the Prince Jin's mansion, his son was maimed by the lunatic Chu and he didn't even say a word, maybe the assassination was ordered by Chu Heng. Then this person poisoned so many people in the teahouse to divert the attention of Prince Jin's mansion, so that it is convenient for King Jin to argue in front of the emperor. Anyway, the witnesses are all dead. It will not be a loss to Jin Palace if we can find a few scapegoats to close the case."

This is a way of thinking, but Mu Ting thinks it is unlikely, the emperor is wise, the courtiers are capable, and the assassination of the emperor is still a major matter, and it is absolutely impossible to casually expose it.

Mu Ting said: "There is only Chu Heng left as a witness. It depends on whether Chu Heng himself is reluctant to speak or someone told him not to speak."

Qi Zhan didn't quite understand, "Why didn't Chu Heng want to tell? The man who came couldn't possibly be King Jin. If he didn't talk about King Jin's residence, it would be a big trouble."

Mu Ting asked back, "What does the troubles in Prince Jin's mansion have to do with him?"

From the moment he led Chu Heng downstairs and was discovered by the emperor, the relationship between Chu Heng and Prince Jin's mansion had already cracked, or it had already existed, but they didn't know it.

Mu Ting said to Qi Zhan: "Chu Heng is not the only choice for King Jin. He will have a choice between satisfying the emperor and protecting his son. We will just wait and see."

If the King of Jin gave up on Chu Heng, then Chu Heng might not be willing to say who the other party is, because life is hard after all, and he can still drag the Prince Jin's mansion into the water, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for a lunatic like Chu Heng. carefree.

Mu Ting felt that this might be one of the reasons why the other party killed more than a dozen people in the teahouse.

There was rebellion in Prince Jin's mansion, Chu Heng obviously couldn't beat his father, and once what King Jin did was exposed or the emperor didn't want to tolerate him anymore, then he had only one way to go - rebellion!

After all, death is impossible, and it is impossible for King Jin to be willing to die in the hands of the emperor.

Mu Ting thought that he probably had a glimpse of the other party's intentions. The people behind the scenes were forcing the Prince Jin Mansion to rebel ahead of time, and this oriole who regarded the Prince Jin Mansion as a praying mantis couldn't wait any longer.

As for the reason for the sudden anxiety, I don't know, Mu Ting stared ahead, maybe starting to investigate from this aspect, there will be unexpected gains.

……

This is a day destined to be uneasy, and no one knows how long this unrest will last, but what is certain is that this is just the beginning, and some people can't bear it anymore.

After such a thing happened, Mu Ting was in a low mood all the time. He even took a little for dinner. He tossed and turned in bed while sleeping, unable to fall asleep.

Qi Zhan leaned over to hug him, and patted his back, "Tingting, are you feeling bad?"

"Well," Mu Ting responded lightly.

Qi Zhan said: "Brother will definitely find out who did it as soon as possible and catch the real culprit."

"But if they are caught, it is impossible for those who died innocently to come back to life, and how can one life cost more than a dozen lives? It is not enough to cut him into pieces."

Moreover, the identity of the other party is not simple. If there is no real evidence, it is difficult to bring the person to justice. The intricate power, the game between the family and the emperor has never been broken since ancient times. Mu Ting knows that this is not easy to handle.

Unless the other party really rebelled, that is the best reason for the emperor to kill people.

Qi Zhan shook him, "Don't think so, people are already dead, we can't change anything, the only thing a living person can do is to catch the real culprit and pay the dead for their lives. This is already doing our best .”

Mu Ting closed his eyes, he understood everything, but still felt uncomfortable, it was regret for human life, and sadness.

Qi Zhan kissed Mu Ting, "Ting Ting, you will be sad tonight, and you won't be sad when you wake up, okay, the restaurant will not be open tomorrow, so we will go outside the city to offer incense, and ask Buddha to bless you as soon as possible Catch the murderer, and then let the murderer bleed from the seven orifices and fester all over, anyway, he will die anyway, the Buddha will bless the good and punish the bad."

Mu Ting said good, but didn't feel sleepy, so he asked Qi Zhan why he didn't persuade him not to be sad now.

"Because Ting Ting is a kind person, and you are already sad, I just say a few words to persuade you, whether you are sad or not depends on yourself, maybe the more I persuade you, the more you think, and the sadder it is. Besides, people should be sad, sad, and cry, just like being happy and laughing, and there is nothing wrong with it.”

"But you can't be sad for too long, it will hurt your body, and I will feel bad too."

Mu Ting's hand on Qi Zhan's waist tightened a little, he wanted to laugh, and his nose was sore, he said, "Why are you so nice?"

Qi Zhan rubbed against Mu Ting's cheek, a little shy, "Because I'm your daughter-in-law, Ting Ting."

Mu Ting thought, then he is really lucky to have such a good wife.
