After evading the officers and soldiers who were searching the city, several people successfully returned to the courtyard.
Mu Zhiyun went to the kitchen to make medicine, while Su Ningxin told Gu Mingxi and Chu Luoye the news she had learned from Tia.
"The head of the Mo family did come from the green forest and has always been inextricably linked with the world." Chu Luoye was familiar with these aristocratic families in Da Qi and confirmed that Tia's statement was not wrong.
"Then what is their purpose for doing this?" Gu Mingxi asked with a frown.
"The Miemen Wulin leader and his family must have some ulterior secrets. As for hunting us down, I guess they think of us as Jianghu people who have a relationship with the former Wulin leader. They are picking on the weak and want to find someone to attract attention. ." Chu Luoye speculated.
Thinking about it carefully, what he said does make sense. If a few of their acquaintances of the real martial arts leaders want to investigate the situation, they can directly put the murderous hat on their heads, which can divert the attention of people in the world and the court.
It would be best if the Mo family could catch a few of them. They could beat them into submission or pretend to commit suicide in fear of crime, so that this tragedy of annihilation could be exposed. If they couldn't be caught, it would be fine. Wait until the court sends someone to come and let the court do it. If you arrest someone, you can still pluck yourself clean when the time comes.
[It’s a pity that they didn’t count us in the imperial court. Thinking about the Mo family’s expressions when they knew the truth, I was really looking forward to it. ] Su Ningxin thought silently in her heart.
"Now that we know who is behind the scenes, let's go investigate and let Mu Zhiyun stay and take care of Shen Zhao. Ning'er and I will go check out the so-called Mo family. Go and see if you can get in touch with Ji. Master, now many people from Jingsha Pavilion are searching outside. I think the people who come to Master Ji to monitor us should be much weaker." Chu Jihan suggested.
"Well, it just so happens that I also want to meet Master Ji." Gu Mingxi agreed.
After finalizing the plan, they went back to their rooms to rest. After all, they had been busy all night, and they would wait until they were well rested before taking action tomorrow night.
Mo's house.
Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan hid in a tree and observed the patrol route in the mansion. Compared with the killers of Jingsha Pavilion that Chu Jihan encountered outside Master Ji's courtyard, these secret guards of the Mo family were far inferior. too much.
When the two of them came here, they felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. Unfortunately, when they came in, they found that the level of the secret guards of the Mo family was really average, and they managed to sneak in easily.
This also gave rise to another speculation in their minds. Maybe the Jingshao Pavilion and the Mo family are not affiliated, but a cooperative relationship. Otherwise, there is no way to explain that Jingshao Pavilion is so powerful, but they did not choose some powerful people to protect themselves. After all, normal people will definitely put their own safety first.
After figuring out the patrol route, Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan jumped off the tree, and then followed the calculated route to avoid the patrolling soldiers. In this way, they walked to the study of the head of the Mo family almost swaggering.
The two of them hid outside the back window of the study, listening to the conversation of the people inside, who should be the patriarch and his son.
"Father, now the news has been sent to the capital. Soon the capital will send people to investigate this matter. If we don't clean up the matter from beginning to end, our entire Mo family will suffer disaster."
"You don't have to worry. The Pavilion Master is already tracing the whereabouts of those people. They will definitely not be able to escape. Even if they do escape, it will be easy to find a few scapegoats to deal with the imperial envoys." An old but majestic voice said said.
The young man said dissatisfiedly, "If my father hadn't insisted on getting involved with Jingsha Pavilion, how would our Mo family have encountered such a thing."
Something was smashed to the ground with a "bang", "You are so impudent. I still have the final say in the Mo family now. It's not your turn to point fingers. If I hadn't cooperated with Jingshao Pavilion, where would the Mo family's current status be? Do you enjoy everything in the Mo family but blame your father?"
After that, the study fell into silence, and there was no more sound.
After a while, there was a knock on the door outside, and a sweet young woman's voice said, "Grandpa, are you in there? Wan'er made some soup for you."
The head of the Mo family slowed down and said, "It's Wan'er, come in."
Hearing the woman's voice, Su Ningxin felt a little familiar. She didn't expect that when she came to Yangzhou City for the first time, she would meet people she had known before one after another.
Su Ningxin frowned and thought for a moment, Wan'er? Who among the people I know is named Wan'er
Soon Su Ningxin locked her target. This name and voice should be Su Wanxin, the concubine of the Marquis of Xuanning.
When the Su family was in the prison, someone robbed her and rescued her. Unexpectedly, she was here.
After sorting out the relationship, Su Ningxin didn't feel strange at all. She thought that she had discovered that Su Wanxin was good at martial arts and had connections with people in the world. It really fit the image of the Mo family who was deeply involved in the world.
What's more, Su Wanxin's aunt was named Mo, so it makes sense that Su Wanxin would appear in the Mo family.
After Su Wanxin brought the soup into the study, she only said some caring words to the head of the Mo family, without any useful information.
However, it can be inferred from the short conversation between the Mo family and his son that in the cooperation between the Mo family and Jingsha Pavilion, it seems that Jingsha Pavilion is the leader and has a higher status, while the Mo family has a more subordinate relationship.
Although the Mo family is not a big family with five surnames and seven hopes, it is still well-known in Yangzhou City. It is a bit strange to be suppressed by a gangster organization like this.
After leaving the study room, Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan stopped at a remote place behind the rockery. Su Ningxin whispered, "It seems that the Jingshao Pavilion is not that capable of treating a family like the Mo family as a subordinate. It’s simple.”
Remembering that Chu Jihan still didn't know Su Wanxin's identity, Su Ningxin explained Su Wanxin's identity again.
"How is your relationship with Su Wanxin?" Chu Jihan asked.
Su Ningxin didn't know what Chu Jihan meant, but she still answered truthfully, "Absolutely, not very close and not against each other."
"How about you show up to see her and see if you can get anything out of her. Judging from the current situation, everything should be planned by Jingshao Pavilion. The Mo family is just one of them. If you promise If the Mo family is dealt with lightly, she should be able to say something." Chu Jihan said.
Su Ning thought for a moment and then nodded. Judging from the conversation between the Mo family and his son just now, the Mo family is indeed at the end of its rope. As long as you give them a little hope at this time, they will seize it.
Moreover, Su Ningxin was also very interested in how Su Wanxin became the eldest granddaughter of the Mo family.
