Mo Chen had only been to the City Lord's Mansion once, and only had tea in the hall, so he left without staying much longer. But the City Lord's Mansion looks loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and it's not a place where anyone can sneak in carelessly, and there's nothing wrong with that.
There are really too many people in Beifu city these days, it hasn't been so many in decades, the city lord's mansion must be stricter than usual.
In other words, the person who killed City Lord Song was able to sneak in without anyone noticing, and even killed City Lord Song who was in the study without any mistakes.
To give an inappropriate example, when Chen Jingzhi wanted to kill Xiaodong, Yu Dahong, who happened to bump into him, silenced him, then tricked Tong Hao into doing things for him, and only did it after he lured Mo Chen away.
The difficulty of wanting to kill City Master Song is of course not the same as wanting to kill Junior Brother, but the result now is that Junior Brother is still alive, but City Master Song is dead.
This can't help but make people feel extremely absurd.
If there is no internal response, this matter is really unreasonable.
"Then, what do the people in the City Lord's Mansion think now?"
"It's a mess now, and they must have this suspicion in their hearts. But in the current situation, even if they have doubts, can they find someone out? What's more fearful is that someone will take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents. It is estimated that someone is already doing this gone."
What the master said made Mo Chen also silent.
"Actually, I think that what happened that day may be..."
"What?"
After all, Li Fulin was the last person who saw City Lord Song before his death. He knew and thought more than others.
"I think, that person, City Lord Song may know him, and even know that he is coming."
Mo Chen asked softly: "Why does Master think so?"
"City Master Song's sword wound was on the front, piercing through the heart, and the bookshelves, calligraphy and paintings next to him were not messy at all. This sword must have been stabbed from a close distance."
No need to say any more, Mo Chen already understood.
This closeness must be very close.
He even deduced the situation and distance silently in his heart.
City Lord Song is not a three-year-old child, even if the old injury has recurred now, he is not powerless. What's more, on his territory, would someone walk in front of him and he wouldn't be able to find it
Li Fulin understood what Master meant.
It's like... Just like Elder Lu of Burial Sword Valley, he was killed by Jin Mian, whom he trusted.
The last thing people are prepared to guard against is plotting from people around them.
Thinking about it this way, the person who made the attack was not guarded against by City Lord Song, and his skill is not low...
Mo Chen glanced at his master.
Why is it that after all the calculations, my master is the most suspected? Master meets all the above conditions. He has been close friends with City Lord Song for many years, and his swordsmanship has always been respected by others. Give City Lord Song a sword piercing through his heart or something...
Although Mo Chen didn't say what was in his heart, his expression and eyes said everything.
Li Fulin was a little weak when he was seen by his disciples: "What kind of person is your master? How can I do such a thing with my character?"
Of course, there is nothing to say about the character of my master, but such things as character and reputation are very difficult to accumulate, and they are quickly lost. When Master returned to his hometown this time, first of all, there was a sudden addition of a "Taoist Companion", who was not from a famous and decent family. He offended those eight sects again and again. Although those people are not very capable, the villain is the most enthusiastic when it comes to gossip.
Although this matter sounds like a joke, but involving the death of City Lord Song, it is absolutely impossible to make people laugh.
"Master, you should be more careful."
Li Fulin nodded: "Master, I understand."
In this matter, Li Fulin was really dangerous. If it hadn't been for the time when City Lord Song went in to get the letter, a female steward from the City Lord's mansion happened to come in. At this moment, Li Fulin would not be able to clean up even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
But the stewardess said some resentful and pointed words to Li Fulin at that time, so I don't need to tell Tuer about these details. Anyway, Li Fulin didn't even know her name, and he couldn't remember when he gave her any wrong hints.
Li Fulin was confused by the other party's stare at the heartbroken man, and at the same time felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
As a result, now he has to be thankful that the other party came to pester him at that time, otherwise he might not be able to explain clearly.
"Master..." Mo Chen hesitated, not knowing whether his guess should be said or not.
"Just say what you want, what can't you say in front of Master?"
Although Mo Chen is young, he is not young and reckless in dealing with people, and he is often more thoughtful than Li Fulin in thinking about things.
"Who knows about Master going to find City Lord Song?"
Li Fulin was startled: "What?"
Could it be... the murderer deliberately wanted to pin this matter on him
If it wasn't for the female manager who took advantage of the opportunity to come in, this matter...
Li Fulin was originally worried about his friends and apprentices, and never thought about the possibility Mo Chen proposed.
"This matter... no one else should know about it." He went to the City Lord's Mansion to find out about Chen Jingzhi's affairs, and he didn't post or send anyone to tell him. It doesn't make much sense to say that someone knew he was going in advance and plotted to blame him for the murder.
"Or that person has been in the city lord's mansion for a long time. After seeing the master meeting and talking with the city lord Song, he pushed the boat and thought of killing two birds with one stone?"
"Maybe." Li Fulin shook his head: "We can't think of a clue if we think about it that way."
Go back and talk about themselves.
Li Fulin asked people to check the news, and a letter happened to arrive just now.
"Master, what did the letter say?"
"The few they found were minions." None of them were the real masters. These pawns didn't know anything, but they were sent to inquire about the news. People in the magic way act secretly and are good at disguising. Li Fulin remembers that one year at the Sword Discussion Meeting, a person sent by a sect was intercepted halfway, and everyone was killed. Did not see any flaws. Now that there are so many faces in Beifu City, it is too difficult to find them.
It seems that good things and bad things like to pile up together. As the saying goes, good fortune comes without double, and misfortune never comes singly. Li Fulin searched for methods and elixir for his disciples to cure Gu poison. There are many capable people in Beifu City, and there are also many shops selling elixir and medicinal materials, but when the drug dregs were taken out, everyone shook their heads and said they had never seen it before. Haven't even heard of it.
Some people enthusiastically wanted to show them the way, and said: "Didn't someone come to Bixia Villa this time? They are also good at refining medicine, and they also have an exclusive secret method for detoxification. Why don't you go and ask them for advice?"
really.
Those who can ask, they have asked, even if they only touch a little bit, only Bixia Villa has not asked.
Zhou Pinzhi previously instigated people to make troubles with Huiliu Mountain, the two factions had already revealed their feud, their faces were torn apart, they begged to come to the door... Will the other party be willing to help
No matter what, you have to give it a try, maybe Bixia Villa really has a way.
"Master, should the disciple go to visit tomorrow?"
"You don't need to go." Li Fulin shook his head: "You are a junior, and they will send you away for any reason. I'm afraid you won't be able to get in."
Besides, this matter started because of him, so what's the matter if he let disciple go to show his face? After all, he is the head of the sect, and he has a lot of weight when he goes to compete with his disciples.
"Master." Mo Chen disagreed.
Bixia Villa is full of women from top to bottom, sometimes they act very unreasonably and unreasonably, and at such a time, the master is going, I am afraid that the other party will be powerful and unforgiving, and some humiliation may be light.
"Okay, it's settled like this." Li Fulin motioned him not to say any more.
Li Fulin knew what he might encounter during this trip, but isn't the life of his apprentice more important than his own face? If there are medicines and cures in Bixia Villa, what's the point of making people vent their anger
"I will go with you."
Ji Zhenren stepped in from the outside.
Every time he sees her, Mo Chen instinctively feels awe-inspiring.
Living under the same roof for so many days, no one has ever seen Ji Zhenren smile, nor have she shown any expressions of anger, sadness, etc. It seems that this person is born without emotions, and will not treat anyone, Take everything to heart.
"Don't talk nonsense, what are you going to do?"
Ji Zheng glanced at him: "Are you planning to come and ask for help?"
The words were true, but Li Fulin said a little uncomfortably: "The world is so big, every school and faction has its own untold secrets, people are more proficient in this matter than us..."
"That's it. If you want to go alone, you can't control what I want to do."
Li Fulin really has a headache right now.
That's right, he just begged someone to go, and then he couldn't say how embarrassing he would be. He wasn't afraid of shame, but he didn't want Ji Zheng to see him.
Besides, with Ji Zheng's temper and attitude, how could this be begging for help? This is to offend people, right? With her, I'm afraid that what can be done before can't be done.
Mo Chen stood up knowingly and left.
How should Master and Ji Zhenren discuss it... It's not appropriate for him to stay on the sidelines.
Xiaodong rubbed her hands and came in from the outside.
When Mo Chen saw that his fingers were red from the cold, he knew that he must have been in cold water again just now.
"Eldest brother." Xiaodong called him from a distance, then remembered something, and tried to hide his hands in his sleeves calmly.
The result is still exposed.
Mo Chen clasped his two frozen radish-like hands together and said, "What did he do?"
"I didn't do anything." Xiaodong quickly changed the subject: "I just heard from Brother Jiang that Senior Sister is much better. Do you want to go and see?"
"Sit down," Mo Chen was not fooled.
He just went to see her early in the morning, and he knows Linglong's situation better than Xiaodong.
"Oh..." Xiaodong sat down obediently, feeling a little guilty, not daring to look at Mo Chen.
Mo Chen warmed his hands before asking: "What did you have for lunch?"
There are too many things these days, and Mo Chen doesn't have the time to stare at him from morning till night.
"I ate steamed stuffed buns and drank a big bowl of porridge." In order to increase his persuasiveness, Xiaodong specially gestured for a big bowl with his hands. But after finishing speaking, he immediately asked back: "Brother, how about you? Have you eaten yet?"
Mo Chen patted his little head: "I ate with Master." (To be continued)
