[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Daoist Mo's Whisk

"Earth bag? You mean, grave bag?" Murong Fu asked in surprise.

Duan Yu nodded: "That's right, she bowed three times to that dirt bag, isn't it just a grave bag?"

Prefect Mo asked strangely, "Whose grave is it?"

Are there other dead?

Duan Yu: "It's Master He's tomb."

"Seventh Aunt said that she and Master He have been playmates since they were young. They are childhood sweethearts, brother and sister. There is no eldest son in Seventh Aunt's family. When she married into Su's family, Master He, the righteous brother, carried the door."

"I asked her if there was any contact between the two before Mr. He died today, and Aunt Qi said no. I thought this clue was over, so I comforted her, thinking to come back quickly, so that I could buy some food along the way Just as she was about to leave, she started crying and cursing someone into the grave."

Mo Qi: "Who?"

"He Xiang."

Xiangxiang, who was sitting next to Zhifu Mo, clenched her dress tightly.

Xu Zhu asked confusedly: "Who is He Xiang?"

Duan Yu said: "I was also very strange, so I asked the Seventh Concubine. The Seventh Concubine said that He Xiang is Master He's own sister, and they often played together when they were young. But when Master He went, what happened at home There was no one to attend his funeral, and He Xiang never showed his face from the beginning to the end. She is also a married woman, so she can't carry the coffin and handle the funeral for Master He."

With a thought in his mind, Mo Qi looked at Gong Jiu, and repeated the name of Master He's sister word by word: "He, Xiang."

Gong Jiufu felt his heart, and immediately stabbed his eyes like a sharp knife to the silent Xiangxiang: "He Xiang, 'Lotus Fragrance'. No wonder you only have lotus flowers on the brocade bag you embroidered, and there is no name or surname."

Zhifu Mo frowned and said, "I didn't know there was such a thing...Miss Xiangxiang, can you admit what the son said?"

Duan Yu smiled and raised his voice: "Miss Xiangxiang, don't panic to answer, wait for me to finish my last sentence."

"Seventh Aunt said that this Miss He Xiang has been doted on since she was a child. At that time, the He family's parents had not passed away, and they guarded the little daughter almost every day. The reason is that this Miss He Xiang was weak and sick, and she gave birth to a newborn child. With bright eyes and bright teeth, she looks like ice and snow at a young age, and...she also has a strange fragrance on her body."

"—Rouge incense."

Duan Yu spat out the last three words, and the answer to the question was settled.

He Xiang clenched his hands, his complexion changed for a moment, and he said unwillingly, "I am indeed He Xiang."

The connection between Xiangxiang and Master He surfaced, only Shen Yan's.If she also had a connection with Shen Yan, the Xiangxiang girl must have been involved in the Rouge bone matter.There must have been hidden things that everyone didn't know back then, maybe it was hidden in He Xiang's heart.

Prefect Mo: "Okay! Let me ask you, you answer truthfully. Have you ever met Shen Yan?"

He Xiang said with a dark face, "No."

Duan Yu waved his hand and said: "Let's not mention the matter of Shen Yan for now. Miss He Xiang, I have a question, please answer it."

"Master He is the master of the Gusu Mansion. In terms of family background and savings, he will never let his most favored sister go out and enter the brothel. Moreover, when Master He went, you didn't even show your face. Is this really the case? Why?"

He Xiang said with a cold face: "What's the matter? Our family is not the only one who is tearing apart the skin between brothers and sisters."

Duan Yu raised his eyebrows: "What kind of enmity, you can't even let your brother die?"

He Xiang looked up at Duan Yu, her tone was firm and there was no room for negotiation, and she said: "This is a little girl's family matter, so it doesn't matter what happened in Gusu right now?"

Xu Zhu said warmly: "Since it's a family matter, then I won't mention it. Listen to what the third younger brother just said, Miss He Xiang has a strange smell in her body since she was a child, that means, you have been infected with rouge bone poison since you were a child."

He Xiang was still waiting for a few words of defense, Gong Jiu said coldly: "When you were unconscious, Daoist Mo had already taken blood from your fingertip, tested for poison, and it was Rouge bone. What else do you want to justify?"

He Xiang subconsciously looked at her hands without wounds, and fell silent.

Xu Zhu paused for a while in good temper, seeing that Gong Jiu and He Xiang had nothing to say, he continued: "As far as we know so far, the rouge bone should belong to Shen Yan, if that's the case, why is the girl here Poisoned at a young age?"

He Xiang sneered: "Since it was poisoned when I was young, how do I know why I was poisoned? Anyway, it has been like this since I was sensible."

He Xiang's appearance full of thorns and full of resistance made Zhifu Mo frowned involuntarily.

Just when he was about to speak to persuade He Xiang, the hall door was knocked lightly three times.

Abi was holding a lantern, with a worried expression on her face: "A policeman is outside Canhezhuang, saying that he has something to report."

Prefect Mo: "What's the matter?! Let him in!"

Abi went to lure the police to the chamber.

Prefect Mo: "What happened so late at night?"

The catcher clasped his fists and replied, "My lord, Mr. Bai, he is dead."

Duan Yu and Mo Qi stood up together: "What?!"

Another person died!Within today alone, there were three more corpses in Gusu City.

First Shen Yan, then Master He, and now there is another Elder Bai? !

What's the matter with Mr. Bai again?They heard the name of this Elder Master because of the name of "Firework Twins" with Elder Su.

Prefect Mo asked, "How did he die?!"

The policeman respectfully said: "Wu Zuo hasn't had an autopsy yet. His body was found in the mass grave. When the night watchman saw it, he almost fell ill."

Mo Qi: "Is there a wound?"

The catcher who had seen Mo Qi at Shen's rouge shop with the catcher before, hurriedly cupped his hands and said to Mo Qi: "If you return to the master, there will be no wounds, just like the corpse of Shen Yan before."

"No wound? That's not what Murong the ghost did." Duan Yu said decisively, "It must be the cause of the rouge bone poison."

The police: "We immediately questioned the people in Manxianglou. This is the place where Mr. Bai was last seen. The people in Manxianglou said that Mr. Bai came and left together with Mr. Su."

Duan Yu: "In that case, what about Mr. Su?!"

The policeman said in an orderly manner: "Returning to Your Majesty, after we learned that Mr. Su was probably the last person to see Mr. Bai, we immediately sent people to the Su residence to arrest people. The person who is escorting Mr. Su should have already At the gate of Shenhe Village, would the prefect want to see you?"

Participate in Hezhuang Dungeon.

Mr. Su was dragged out of his home, and he was so frightened that he was sober.

When he was thrown on the ground where there was still some water in the dungeon, his mind was full of bloody scenes of various punishments.Before anyone could speak, he was trembling with fright, and curled up on the ground, showing no stinginess like he did when he was in the mansion during the day.

Murong Fu smiled and handed Zhifu Mo an inkstone, telling Zhifu Mo to use it as a gavel.

Zhifu Mo took a closer look, the black jade inkstone inlaid with gold, it seemed ridiculously expensive at first glance, as expected, his chest felt oppressed, and he slapped "Jintangmu" viciously.

Prefect Mo: "Speak up, tell me everything you know!"

Mr. Su was shocked, like a bamboo tube that was slapped on the buttocks, and poured out all the words in his stomach: "I am wronged, I am wronged, Lord Zhifu! You arrested the wrong person, I really didn't kill him ,not me!"

Master Su spoke quickly, but his drunken tongue hindered his clarification a lot: "Lao Bai and I, that——is an iron friendship, how could I kill him? And , Today I just went to listen to a little song with him, happy and happy, I didn't expect him to die!"

Mo Zhifu squinted his eyes, and his solemn and vicissitudes old face made such a suspicious expression, which can make everyone with a guilty conscience panic: "How do you know that he is dead? Going to catch your arrest, but from beginning to end there is nothing wrong with you." It didn't say that Grandpa Bai is dead."

Elder Su was tongue-tied for a while, and said mournfully, "It's really not me!"

"I—I'll tell you the truth, here's the thing—"

"Today during the day, I met Lao Bai in Manxiang Building. I told him about Shen Yan and that bitch, and I was so angry that I drank more wine. Keep drinking. The two of us drank until midnight, and then passed out."

"I... I don't know what's going on, anyway, when I opened my eyes, I found myself lying in a mass grave, with Lao Bai lying beside me!"

Grandpa Su was trembling, obviously remembering the scene at that time: "The body is hard and cold, like a dead man! I even shook him and wanted to wake him up. I thought he was doing this. Pretending to be asleep, this is a joke he made with me! But... but who knows, he is really dead! When I breathed through my nose, I was already out of breath. I felt my pulse again, and it was as cold as a popsicle It looks like a child, how can you still dance!"

"I woke up from the alcohol!" Mr. Su covered his face, the hairs on his hands stood on end, and his whole body was icy cold, "My mother——I am—this is a mass grave! Lao Bai died Ah! Where the hell do I know what the murderer who killed Lao Bai meant by throwing me next to him? What if he, he just took a break in the middle and came back in a while to kill me?!"

"I thought, that won't work! I don't want to die! I just crawled out of the grave and didn't dare to turn back all the way. I ran back home as hard as I could, and I just stayed in my room and didn't dare to go out."

Prefect Mo asked sharply: "Since we are home safe, why not report the death of Elder Bai to the government?"

Elder Su's eyes widened: "Then do I dare to report? I am the last person to see Elder Bai. If you treat me as a murderer, who shall I find to prove my innocence?!"

He drooped his head in frustration: "Hey, why am I still talking about this, anyway, I am not innocent now. Do you think I am the murderer of Lao Bai?" He showed a stubborn expression, "I don't admit it, I absolutely don't admit it. No... no matter how much you want me to torture you, I won't admit it."

After Master Su finished speaking, roll up the sleeves of his robe, wrapped himself up, and curled up on the ground, looking like "waiting for you to make a move", looking like a man holding his breath and determined to make trouble Little urchin.

Prefect Mo only thought it was funny, Mr. Su's eyes were fixed on the torture equipment next to him, yet he still had the guts to say that he was not afraid of torture.

In his heart, he really felt that Mr. Su did not seem to be the murderer who killed Mr. Bai, but Mr. Su was indeed the last person who saw Mr. Bai, so he was the most suspicious.Moreover, Mr. Su's confession was made by himself, and no one can prove whether it is true or not. If he is really the murderer, is this confession fabricated by himself?

Just as he was thinking about whether to put on torture tools to scare Mr. Su, the policeman who came to report Mr. Bai's death earlier knocked on the door again: "My lord."

Prefect Mo put down the gavel in his hand: "What's the matter?"

The policeman: "News came from the Su residence, saying that... the Seventh Concubine in the residence was found dead."

Prefect Mo was shocked: "What?! When did he die and how did he die?!"

Duan Yu, who was still listening with a smile on the side, restrained the smile on his face.

The policeman said: "It should be in the afternoon. The maidservant delivered the porridge and soup for night maintenance to the Seventh Aunt as usual and found out. The death condition is the same as that of Mr. He. His head was crushed with a palm, and there is a pink lump in his brain." Fingerbones."

Duan Yu clenched his fist and slammed it on the hard stone wall beside him, angrily and angrily said: "If I stay longer..."

Mo Qi looked at Duan Yu: "You can stay for a while, you can't stay for a lifetime. If the ghost Murong decides to kill her, it doesn't matter if you stay in the Su Manor until now, there will always be time to go."

Gong Jiu calmly said: "At least Ghost Murong's move has provided us with another clue. Seventh Aunt Taiding also knows about Rouzhigu, otherwise Ghost Murong would not have attacked her."

Xu Zhu frowned and said: "But the only thing Seventh Aunt has relationship with Rou Zhigu is that she and Master He are childhood sweethearts."

Ye Gucheng, who had been standing in a corner away from the crowd, said slowly: "Three childhood sweethearts. Mr. He died, and Aunt Qi died. The mystery of the rouge bone must be related to the only remaining He Xiang. Where is she?"

Mo Qi's heart tightened: "She is still in the conference hall, no one is staying."

Duan Yu rushed out of the dungeon first.

Everyone followed up one after another, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue stayed in the cell, temporarily acting as the guards of Grand Master Su, lest they all disappear, and what happened to Grand Master Su.

... Master Su is also very lucky in his life. He has Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue as his guards.

It's a pity that he doesn't know the blessings in the blessings, and he doesn't know who the two elegant men in white clothes standing in front of the door are, but he is still immersed in the sad news that "the seventh aunt is too dead" just now. Among them, after a long while, "Wow -" howled out.

Grandpa Su thumped the ground: "I'm so miserable! I'm so miserable! Wow——"

Ye Gucheng frowned.

A black sword was pointed at the tip of Mr. Su's nose, Ximen Chuuxue: "Shut up, or you will die."

Master Su stopped his wailing in an instant, and hiccupped.

The owner of Wanmei Mountain Villa and the owner of Baiyun City guarded him; he survived the sword of Ximen Chuuxue, the number one swordsman in the world.

Master Su experienced the two things that could never happen in one night.

He Xiang is dead.

He didn't die in the meeting hall, but in the lotus pond.The fat-headed koi, who was usually fed and slept besides eating, sucked its mouth vigorously beside her, thinking it was a huge piece of fish food.

She died very peacefully, with a section of brocade covered with water under her body, floating on the water like a hibiscus flower, her black hair bobbing and sinking in the water.If you don't look at those silly koi and ignore that the beauty on the water is completely dead, this picture is surprisingly beautiful.

"...Strange, this Shenhe Village is not a place where ordinary people come and go whenever they want. If someone has never practiced martial arts, how could he kill He Xiang in Shenhe Village?" Duan Yu looked at He Xiang who had been fished ashore. His brows were furrowed.

Gong Jiu asked Murong Fu: "Is there a secret way to the outside in Canhe Village?"

Murong Fu shook his head: "Impossible. After Murong Fu's death, every inch of land and every inch of the wall in Canhe Village was inspected carefully by the people who were proficient in the secret ways of organs sent by the Holy One, and there was no secret way."

Abi tightly grasped Murong Bo's sleeve: "Then how did she die?"

She and Murong Bo had already fallen asleep, but when they were about to fall asleep, they were awakened by the exclamation of the dead body.The two came in a hurry, and what they saw was He Xiang floating on the water.

Mo Qi squatted down next to He Xiang, inspecting her body: "She died of suffocation. It should be because her mouth and nose were suffocated and she couldn't breathe."

Mo Qi put down He Xiang's hand: "She died in Canhe Village, there are only two possibilities that are more reasonable. One, He Xiang committed suicide. She is the murderer of these cases. Two, He Xiang was killed by the ghost Murong."

Xu Zhu was puzzled: "I'm stupid... I can understand the first possibility. But the second... why do you say that He Xiang was killed by the ghost Murong? Isn't it true that the ghost Murong kills people? Dead body, leave rouge bone?"

Gong Jiu reminded Xu Zhu: "You forgot, we said earlier that there are many clothes, shoes, and sachets for men in He Xiang's house. If this is the wishful gentleman that He Xiang is thinking of, it is that What about the ghost Murong? The two of them repaired well, and although the ghost Murong killed He Xiang to silence him, he still cared about his feelings, so he decorated He Xiang's corpse beautifully as compensation."

Duan Yu sneered: "If that's the case, that ghost Murong is really as hateful as before!"

When everyone gathered around the corpse for inspection, Zhifu Mo brought all the dead who had died so far in the Rouge Bone Case with the two foremen from the previous morgue.

Murong Fu searched for the ice cellar of Shenhezhuang, and asked someone to clear out a space in the ice cellar, and put these corpses in it.

Except for Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng who were still in the dungeon, everyone gathered in the ice cellar.

Murong Fu wanted to send Abi back to rest, but Abi didn't want to, so Murong Fu put a thick cloak on her, held her in his arms, and discussed the case with everyone.

Master Bai's corpse has already been experienced.

Sure enough, his bones were pink.

Murong Fu looked at the two pink phalanxes that had been taken out and placed separately in the box, and immediately raised a question: "According to our speculation, the ghost Murong should not have obtained the poison of rouge bone when he killed Master He and Mrs. Seven. .So why did he have these pink phalanxes on his hand?"

Mo Qi said indifferently: "The death of the young concubine of the Su family also had skeleton finger marks on the body. These skeleton finger marks were left by Shen Yan to help Mrs. Su cover up her crimes. In other words, Shen Yan must have a skeleton in her hand. But when we searched Shen's house, we didn't find this skeleton. Could it be because the skeleton is no longer in the hands of Shen Yan, but fell into the hands of the ghost Murong?"

Duan Yu thought about it carefully: "That's right, this is the only guess that can explain the rouge bone in Ghost Murong's hand."

Xu Zhu digested everyone's words slowly: "Then...but... since the deceased's bones are pink, it means that he must have been poisoned by the rouge bone poison before he was alive. Maybe the owner of this skeleton, It was killed by Shen Yan's rouge bone poison. But since this person was poisoned to death, why didn't anyone find out?"

Mo Qi picked up a phalanx with tweezers and observed for himself: "The owner of these two phalanxes should be very old, an old man in his sixties. The joints are thick, so he should be a male."

"60 years old, male?!" A flash of light flashed in Zhifu Mo's mind, and he slammed the ice next to him hard. At first, his face changed in pain, and then he touched his painful hand and said, "I don't know why no one Found it! Because everyone thought he died normally!"

"Shen Yan was not Master Shen, but Young Master Shen half a month ago. His father died of illness half a month ago! But Shen's father was sick, so after the news of his death came out, no one questioned it. Now It seems that he was killed by his own son, Shen Yan!"

Prefect Mo said angrily: "No wonder Shen Yan suddenly called Mr. Su to drink half a month ago! The relationship was originally to celebrate that he had won the family property! Then he happened to meet Mrs. Su who killed Liniang by mistake, got the handle, and Got a beauty in my arms. Double happiness."

Mo Qi said to Zhifu Mo: "But it's just a guess."

Duan Yu laughed shortly: "It's not easy to prove it? Although we can't find that pink skeleton, there is one piece of evidence that will never run away."

"Master Shen's grave."

·

·

In the middle of the night, a gravedigger ushered in Shen's ancestral grave.

The tomb engraved with Master Shen's name was quickly dug up, revealing a thick golden nanmu coffin.

Duan Yu was the first to jump down from the grave, and knocked open the coffin with one finger, revealing a rotten corpse inside.

Gong Jiu immediately took a few steps back, covering her nose with a folding fan.

stinky.

The two forensics immediately went down to the pit for an autopsy, and within a short while they said, "It's not Mr. Shen's. This person is only in his fifties, and he has chilblains on his uncorrupted skin. How could it be that Mr. Shen, who is well-clothed and well-fed, has frostbite?" s things."

Prefect Mo's guess was verified.

Mo Qi was silent for a while: "Yes."

Xu Zhuben was still praying with his palms together, he couldn't help asking: "What's right?"

Mo Qi's dark eyes swept towards Xu Zhu: "The time coincides with the appearance of the ghost Murong."

It was half a month ago that Shen Yan used the rouge bone for the first time.Ghost Murong appeared in Gusu also half a month ago.

Presumably, after Shen Yan killed Master Shen and changed the body, the pink skeleton was discovered by the shadow man who had been secretly watching the poison holy relic, so he sent the ghost Murong here.

Zhifu Mo frowns: "We are right, but we still don't know who the murderer who killed Shen Yan, Mrs. Su and Mr. Bai is? What about the 'ghost Murong' you are talking about?" What's the matter?"

"It doesn't matter." The coffin was finally sealed again, and Gong Jiu took down the fan covering the tip of his nose, "Ghost Murong kills people with only one purpose from beginning to end, to get the rouge bone. Therefore, all those who were poisoned to death, Nothing to do with him."

Mo Qi nodded: "That is to say, apart from Liniang, the bones of the dead: Master He, Seventh Concubine, and He Xiang who died of suffocation rather than poisoning were all killed by the ghost Murong. Except for the ghost Murong, There is another person in Gusu who killed Shen Yan, Mrs. Su and Mr. Bai with the poison of rouge bone."

"So, if you want to find out who the murderer is, you should not worry about the connection between this person and the ghost Murong, but you should find out what stories are hidden between Shen Yan, Mrs. Su and Mr. Bai."

"When we find out what is the connection between these three people, we will be able to find out the murderer. As for the ghost Murong—"

Gong Jiu shook the folding fan in his hand: "—he wants the rouge bone in the murderer's hand."

"As soon as we catch the murderer, he will crash into us himself."

·

·

The chaotic case has finally been sorted out into a clear context.

When everyone came out of the ice cellar, they found that it was already daylight.They actually stayed in the ice cellar all night.

Prefect Mo got used to running around, so he simply didn't rest, and rushed back to the cellar, wanting to interrogate Mr. Su, to see if Mr. Su could say anything.If it really doesn't work, I'm afraid the tactics have to be tougher. After all, who made the dead Shen Yan, Mrs. Su and Mr. Bai all have close ties with Mr. Su?

One was the adulterer who put a cuckold on his head. When the other died, he was the only one by his side.

It is really difficult to escape suspicion.

Duan Yu and Mo Qi discussed for a while, and planned to go to the White Mansion together to visit Mrs. Bai's widow, Mrs. Bai.

After all, since she is Mr. Bai's first wife, she should know something about Mr. Bai.Come, before she left the cabinet, she and Mrs. Su called Gusu Shuangmei together, maybe there will be some kind of friendship.

There are really not many people who have friendship with Shen Yan, Mr. Bai, and Mrs. Su, and only Mr. Su and Mrs. Bai are alive.

As for Gong Jiu, he temporarily separated from Mo Qi and went to Manxiang Building alone, planning to search He Xiang's wing again.If he has time, he is going to visit the rooms of Master He and Seventh Aunt.After all, these three people were killed for Murong Fu, so they must have something to do with the poison of Rouzhigu, it is impossible to say what clues will be left in their residence.

When Duan Yu and Mo Qi arrived outside the gate of the White Mansion, Mrs. Bai was sitting in the back hall, softly comforting the crying concubines of Mrs. Bai.

In fact, Master Bai also had brothers, but all of them were short-lived, and they all died when they were young.Now that he left, the entire White Mansion would be left without a man who could support him, so he could only place all his hopes on Mrs. Bai, the hostess who never cared about things.

Fortunately, the relationship between Mrs. Bai and the concubines has always been good. When outsiders wondered whether the backyard of the White Mansion was already in full swing, the women's family had already taken care of the funeral affairs.Now, taking a break from his busy schedule, he handed over the work of receiving funeral guests to the housekeeper, while he gathered in the back hall with a few sisters who would depend on each other for life, crying and venting the worries in his heart.

After the butler informed Mrs. Bai of Duan Yu and Mo Qi's arrival, he led them into the back hall.

At this time, the hostesses had quickly tidied themselves up and were ready to deal with the two distinguished guests.

When Duan Yu and Mo Qi entered the door, there was another concubine who was secretly applying lip balm, and when he saw Mo Qi stepping into the door, he was stunned.

It's not just her, almost all the women's eyes in this room are on Mo Qi.

It is human instinct to appreciate the extremely beautiful scenery.

Mrs. Bai was helpless, coughed a few times, stepped forward to salute, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I have seen Your Majesty, I have seen Master Guoshi."

She waited for Duan Yu to excuse me before slowly raising her head to reveal her face.

She was born beautiful and refined, her temperament is elegant and elegant, and her face looks like a lotus without makeup, which makes people want to sigh at first sight: she really deserves the name of Gusu double beauty.

Mrs. Bai led the two of them to sit at the main seat, while she led a few younger sisters to stand in the hall, bringing refreshments and melons and fruits, with comprehensive etiquette and no omissions.

Mrs. Bai: "You two come to my White House, but do you have something to ask?"

Mo Qi didn't say a word, and sat straight on the grand teacher's chair with indifferent eyebrows and eyes. His posture of sitting upright showed his upright figure, which attracted the hearts of several younger concubines standing in the hall, and they couldn't help but Biting her lip, she secretly looked at him.

Duan Yu looked anxiously at Mo Qi who really didn't intend to speak, so he had to turn his head and said to Mrs. Bai: "There is indeed something. I want to ask Mrs. Bai. Do you know that your elder, together with Shen Yan and Mrs. Su, In between, is there any...unknown secret?"

Mrs. Bai lowered her head respectfully, her soft blue hair hanging on her chest, as beautiful as a smear of moonlight: "Your Majesty just joked, since it is a secret that is not known, how can I know it."

Duan Yu said with a smile: "Mrs. Bai is Mr. Bai's first wife and the person who sleeps with him. If Mr. Bai has any secrets, you should be aware of it. Oh, it may not be a secret, maybe it is something This matter is related to Mr. Bai, Mrs. Su and Shen Yan."

Mrs. Bai thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I don't remember any connection between my lord and Mrs. Su. Although my lord really...prefers beautiful women. But Mrs. Su is Mrs. Su's first wife , my grandpa is a very loyal person, to him...brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes. No matter how sorry he is to us, he will never do anything to offend Mr. Su."

Mrs. Bai's words were flat, but there was a lot of complaints in it.

Mrs. Bai: "As for Shen Yan, I only know that he is Mr. Su's friend. If I have to say it, half a month ago, Shen Yan invited Mr. Su to drink. For the sake of excitement, Mr. Su took my Mr. I also shouted. This is probably the only intersection between my master and Shen Yan."

Duan Yu was a little helpless.

He thought for a while, then scratched his face and said, "Then does Mr. Su have any enemies in his daily life? Or is there a competitor in business?"

Mrs. Bai looked at Duan Yu quietly, and then said: "To tell you the truth, my master has already left, so what I said is an afterthought."

Duan Yu: "What do you mean?"

Mrs. Bai said: "My master met Mr. Su when he was young. The two have known each other for more than ten years. My master wholeheartedly believes that Mr. Su and him are like-minded friends. Every time I tell him, he always blames my wife for thinking , you cannot save the belly of a gentleman."

Duan Yu asked: "Mrs. Bai means...do you think Mr. Su is suspected?"

Mrs. Bai did not express her position, but said: "I don't know. Maybe I am a short-sighted woman who watches the sky in the backyard. I dare not tell His Majesty whether Mr. Su is suspected. I can only tell you about these years, About the matter between Mr. Su and my master, tell the two distinguished guests."

"My lord's nature is playful and beautiful, he has no talents, he doesn't seek perfection, he only wants to be successful. Baishi's foundation is in the hands of my lord, it hasn't developed, but it hasn't lost either. This is the best my lord can do. I did my best."

"Master Su inherited the Su family on the same day as my master. To play, to play with my master, to be crazy, to be crazy with my master. But Su's facade has opened more and more in Gusu. Su The Eldest Master seems to be very stubborn, and he always looks like a fool, but he is actually more ambitious and capable than my Master."

"The Su family and the Bai family are allies. They were supposed to be in the timber business. They formed an alliance in order not to create vicious competition. The more the Su family has, the less space there is for the Bai family. Sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat. I told my master several times, but he didn’t listen.”

"Now, he is dead. Mr. Su is still alive. I don't know if there will be a Bai family in Gusu after a year."

Duan Yu hissed.

Is Mr. Su really that powerful?They didn't see it at all!

Mrs. Bai wears thick clothes, but her figure is still thin: "Now, so many people have died in Gusu. The three people mentioned by His Majesty just now are all related to Mr. Su—even if Your Majesty will say that the little girl is short-sighted , the little girl also wants to say, it is really hard for me not to doubt Mr. Su."

Duan Yu glanced at Mo Qi.Mo Qi remained motionless, but this time his eyes fell on Mrs. Bai, and he listened very seriously, without any intention of asking any questions.Duan Yu had no choice but to speak again, and asked Mrs. Bai and the concubine behind her a few questions before being sent out the back door together with Mo Qi by the housekeeper.

When passing through the corridor, I heard the big maid was admonishing a young maidservant: "...Now is the time of filial piety! You still put on rouge?! Don't you think about it!"

In the past few days, I have heard a lot of "Rouge bone". As soon as they heard the word "Rouge", Mo Qi and Duan Yu cast their eyes very sensitively, but they didn't see anyone, only a room with a closed door.

The maid obediently confessed: "No, no more."

The big servant girl scolded a few times, and then she exposed the matter, and said to the maidservant: "After the medicine for nourishing the body is finished, you can bring it to the mistresses. It's very cold this winter. Well, the female hostesses are not as physically fit as men, so they can't catch the cold. Now the whole White House is pointing at them to stand up, but we can't let them fall down!"

After saying this, there was no sound in the room.

The butler reminded the two who stopped: "You two?"

"Oh, I'm distracted." Duan Yu said with a smile, and followed the butler out the door.

From Baifu, back to Canhezhuang, I have to walk the street I am already familiar with.

The streets are full of merchants setting up stalls, and more of them are wandering customers.After walking for a while, the two heard a commotion.

"What what? What excitement?" Duan Yu couldn't stop walking all the way when he heard the sound, heading straight for the noisy place.

Surrounded by crowds of people is Shen's Rouge Shop.The people who crowded in frantically were men and women, most of them were dressed as servants and maidservants, obviously they came to buy rouge for their master's house.

The deputy shopkeeper who served Gong Jiu before stood in the store and shouted: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze! If you squeeze it, you will pay back a hundred times!"

"The last three boxes of rouge snow prepared by Shopkeeper Shen during his lifetime are the only ones left in the world! Everyone, do you want to make a price?"

The crowd immediately shouted.

"Twenty thousand taels of silver!"

"Twenty thousand taels!"

"10 taels!"

"Golden ten thousand taels!"

Duan Yu smacked his lips: "My dear, now a box of rouge can be sold so expensive."

He pounded the ink unicorn, and teased narrowly: "Master Dao, you need to know that the reason why this rouge is expensive is not because it is made of good materials, but because the person who made it has passed away, and it is difficult for anyone in the world to reproduce this rouge." The beauty of rouge."

"The last three boxes in the world. Daoist, you are not short of money, why don't you buy them back and give them to Prince Taiping?"

Mo Qi: "..."

He had to remind: "Master Jiu is a man. No need for rouge."

Duan Yu hated that iron could not be made into steel: "Oh, what I just said was in vain, right? The important thing is not what it is, what is important is that it is the words 'unique in the world, only three boxes left', do you understand? ?”

Mo Qi frowned: "Three boxes?"

Isn't that a lot more?

With Gong Jiu's personality, I'm afraid that someone who has the same things as him would be very dissatisfied, three boxes?He can throw the rouge on the ground on the spot, believe it or not?

When Mo Qi and Duan Yu returned to Canhe Village, it was already after noon.

Abi helped them put the reheated food on the table, then yawned and went back to the room with Murong Fu to rest.

Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue are still guarding the dungeon, and Zhifu Mo has not yet come out of the dungeon. It seems that they have not been able to pry any information from Mr. Su.

Mo Qi subconsciously looked around the room.

Gong Jiu hasn't come back yet?

Duan Yu was so hungry that he was so hungry that his chopsticks were almost used as pointers.
