Chapter 204 – The Virgin White Lotus (1 / 2)

“If you want people to not know unless you don’t do it.” Mu Zi Yan saw that Zhang couldn’t say anything to refute, she hooked her lips in a light smile and turned her eyes to look at her brother who was sitting quietly watching the show, the corner of her mouth hooked up in a faint smile.

Zhang Yiqing turned her eyes to look at her blandly, “What the county princess said, my wife indeed does not understand what it means.”

“Second sister-in-law will understand later.” Mu Zi Yan looked at her meaningfully.

Zhang Yiqing’s eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and after a long period of silence, she then said, “Good.”

Seeing Zhang Yiqing like this, Zhang’s eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and then she dropped her eyes on Mu Ziyan’s body, and said in a cold voice, “I had my words first just now, if Sheriff Master really searched for anything, it will be at Sheriff Master’s disposal.”

Zhang Yiqing just stood with a pale expression, obviously this matter had nothing to do with her.

Mu Zi Yan looked at Zhang Yi Qing in front of her with a light smile, and after a long time, she saw Yun Xiang come, holding two golden qilin in her hands, and then said, “Eldest Miss, it was found in the hidden compartment within the wall of the, and also found this item.”

Yunxiang said and handed that thing to Mu Zi Yan, suddenly a gust of wind flashed, Yunxiang just handed over the thing fell in the hands of Zhang Yiqing, she raised her hand and took a look at it, her eyes were cold, looking straight at Mu Zi Yan, “Sheriff Master is really powerful, even the side of the maid are tuned. Teach this kind of resourcefulness.”

Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips and smiled lightly, “If you don’t have a ghost in your heart, you won’t be tricked.”

“Haha,” Zhang Yiqing raised a laugh and suddenly turned around to leave.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes froze, “Follow.”

“Yes.” The hidden one in the shadows answered and followed closely.

Mu Ziyan raised her eyes to look at Zhang’s, then said, “Second Auntie, the reasoning that it’s hard to prevent household thieves during the day and at night, I think Second Auntie has a deeper understanding than I do.”

Zhang knew that Mu Zi Yan’s words were double entendre, not only was she reminding her, but she was also mocking her for what she did to Mu Zi Yan in the first place, she sighed helplessly, although there was anger in her heart, she could not vent it out at this moment.

Mu Zi Yan turned around and walked outside, turning her eyes to look at Lu Zhong, “Uncle Lu, have you found everything”

“All have been found.” Lu Zhong hung his head and returned, “Not a single thing.”

“Pull out all those who are harboring it and beat them to death with sticks.” Mu Zi Yan said in a deep voice.

“Yes.” Lu Zhong hung his head and answered, turning his eyes to look at Zhang Clan, “Second Mistress, I’m offended.”

“Since I have my words first, I will not back out.” Zhang’s nature is arrogant, since she said it in front of Mu Zi Yan, and in full view of everyone, even if she wanted to back out, she couldn’t.

When Mu Zi Yan left, he heard the screams coming from outside, since Lu Zhong has led the people to start the execution.

Mu Lingxuan sat inside the carriage, looking at Mu Ziyan overflowing with smiles, “Sister does things without dragging her feet and is clean, in turn impressing brother.”

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “I’m just doing it for Zhang.”

Just as the two of them were about to leave, they saw Zhang’s suddenly stepping forward to block the front of the carriage, “Sheriff Master, please stay.”

Yunxiang lifted the curtain of the car and saw Zhang’s face looking at her anxiously, “What happened”

“Rui’er had an accident and killed someone.” Zhang’s suddenly knelt down, “I still beg the county princess to be generous and be able to save him.”

Mu Zi Yan did not expect the chapter now on Mu Ling Rui surprisingly so loving, rather than kneel down in public to beg her if it is placed in the past for fear that it is not possible it

She was silent for a few moments, but there were a few more moments of reckoning in her mind.

“Sister, this matter,” Mu Lingxuan said as he looked at her.

“Go and take a look first.” Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment, turned her eyes just to see the corner of Sister Lu’s mouth hooked up a touch of calculation when she looked down, her eyes darkened, it seems that a few days ago Yunxiang reported, and now it is considered to be fulfilled, if Auntie two is not willing to get involved in Princess Qing Li’s calculations, then Princess Qing Li will certainly take action against the people Auntie two cares about the most, since the beginning of the time, Sister Lu is the Princess Qing Li’s people, it’s just a pity that the second Auntie does not yet know herself.

When Zhang heard Mu Zi Yan say so, she quickly kowtowed, “Many thanks to county princess.”

Mu Zi Yan looked at Zhang and sighed, “Second Auntie, if you knew it would be today, why did you bother”

Her words sounded like she was lamenting how cold and thin Zhang had once been to Mu Ling Rui, but the deeper meaning here, I’m afraid, was only experienced by Zhang herself.

Zhang’s self is to hear out the strings, turned her eyes to look at Sister Lu, eyes low crossed the vicious, and then said, “The courtesan respectfully follow the county master’s teachings.”

Mu Zi Yan was silent for a long time, finally letting down the curtain, Sister Lu came forward to help Zhang get up, Zhang sideways, the carriage slowly left.

Zhang’s eyes lowered as she said, “Go prepare a carriage and go forward to the Jingzhao Yin’s government office.”

“Yes.” Sister Lu answered and then went to prepare.

Zhang stood in place, turned her eyes to look at Sister Lu’s back, Mu Zi Yan words she understood, had known that Princess Qing Li will be secretly counting themselves, why did she listen to slander, and into the Princess Qing Li’s calculations!

Zhang is undoubtedly a contradictory person, she is not willing but do not want to take risks, Mu Ling Rui is her son, now she only has one child left, so how can she just like this to watch him die and, Zhang Yiqing is still also a malicious mind, she can not wait for death, more can not let Rui’s son finally also step in the dust of her.

Mu Zi Yan sat inside the carriage, Mu Ling Xuan looked at her and said, “Why did sister go to save second brother”

“This is Princess Qing Li’s plot, this move will result in one less enemy since.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently.

“That’s true, nowadays, I see that the second brother’s nature has changed a lot, and that Zhang Yiqing is even a secretive ghost, in the future, I need to be more than one to beware of it.” Mu Lingxuan said in a low voice.

“I’ve already sent people to chase after her, and if my guess is good, she should be fleeing towards Yun Ying Temple now.” Mu Zi Yan said in a cold voice.

“He really is single-handedly trained by Abbot Void. Taught out.” Mu Lingxuan said in a deep voice.

“A long time ago, the chapter marquis residence must have laid a lot of traps, but now is the milk can not drink her, she failed in this mission, the void of that ruthlessness.

Void is as ruthless as that, and will definitely not bypass her.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she whispered.

“Sister, who actually did what to third uncle” Mu Lingxuan suddenly had a bold guess when he heard her say that.

“Just as brother thought.” Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips in a meaningful smile.

“This,” Mu Lingxuan was stunned, “A tiger’s poison doesn’t eat its children, this void is too ruthless.”

Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips and smiled coldly, “In the eyes of the void, third uncle is just a chess piece, a waste chess piece, keeping it can only add to the trouble, he will make third uncle disappear forever.”

“It’s just that this method is also too” Mu Lingxuan really didn’t know how to describe it.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly, “Brother, the old madam is aware of this, knowing that, she can still act so calmly, these two are not simple.”

“The old madam will definitely take revenge.” According to the old madam’s nature, she was afraid that she was already plotting now.

“Right.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “Isn’t it better to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight”

“Just don’t ever get involved.” Mu Lingxuan said worriedly.

“Today’s situation is hard to predict.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “We can only save for a rainy day and take one step at a time, the good thing is that I don’t have to go back to the Imperial Tomb and am able to keep track of the movements in the capital.”

“It’s a pity.” Mu Lingxuan looked at Mu Ziyan and sighed quietly.

“What pity,” Mu Zi Yan asked in confusion.

“If you were a man, you would definitely be a vassal and a minister.” Mu Lingxuan said with great certainty.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “I would rather be a small woman than a conspirator who is above one person and below ten thousand people in that court.”

“Hey.” Mu Lingxuan sighed, “I don’t know what exactly you’re thinking”

Muzzy Smoke raised an eyebrow, “Happy.”

“Happy,” Mu Lingxuan raised his hand and pinched her nose dotingly, “I’m happy when I see you happy.”

“This can’t be.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head, “The new sister-in-law will be jealous.”

“When Zoe looks at you and is happy, she will be happy too.” Mu Lingxuan said with a smile.

“I watched my brother and sister-in-law be happy, and I’m happy too.” Mu Zi Yan returned the words to him.

“Haha,” Mu Lingxuan couldn’t help but laugh brightly.

When I rushed to the government office of Beijing Zhaoyin, Zhang Zong was opening the hall, and Mu Lingrui was kneeling under the hall, reticent.

Mu Zi Yan walked forward, Zhang Zong saw her come, as if he had already expected it, then went forward and saluted, “I see the county princess.”

“There is no need to be polite, Senior Zhang.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently.

“Sheriff Master came here this time, but for the murder case in the downtown area just now” Zhang Zong asked in a low voice.

“Exactly.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded.

Mu Ling Rui raised his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, and when he saw that she had actually come for her own sake, his eyes flashed with a flash of surprise.

Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Where’s the body of the deceased”

“In autopsy.” Zhang Zong continued.

“Go in first and take a look.” Mu Zi Yan said and entered the back hall.

Mu Lingxuan glanced at Mu Lingrui, then followed.

Zhang’s also rushed over at this moment, seeing Mu Ling Rui kneeling on the ground with his head hung low, she rushed in and then knelt down as well, looking at him nervously, “Rui’er, don’t worry, the county princess will return your innocence.”

Mu Ling Rui raised his eyes to look at Zhang’s and spoke in puzzlement, “Mother, you believe in my child”

“En, Mother naturally believes in you, you would never kill anyone.” Zhang looked at him and said.

“Mother, if you believe in your child, your child will be satisfied.” Mu Ling Rui was most helpless at this time, remembering the days when he was infected with five stone powder, no one dared to take him in at that time, if it wasn’t for his mother, he was afraid that he would have already died.

Now that he thought about it, he looked at Zhang and held her hand tightly, “Mother, don’t worry, son is fine.”

“Good.” Zhang nodded her head and responded, her eyes overflowing with compassion, this was from the heart, not a false sentiment.

Sister Lu knelt by the side, secretly hated in her heart, but also felt that the more Zhang was so concerned about Mu Ling Rui, in the future, as long as she held Mu Ling Rui in check, she would be able to make Zhang obediently listen to her, thinking this way, Sister Lu also calmed down, and then with tears in her eyes, she looked at Mu Ling Rui, “Young master, you can rest assured, the county princess is a divine hand in deciding the case, and she will surely return young master to his innocence. “

Mu Lingrui nodded slightly, “En.”

Mu Ziyan entered the autopsy room, and saw that Niangzi Lu had just finished the autopsy, raised her eyes to look at Mu Ziyan, and then said, “This person is Wu Baozhai’s son, was in the time of pushing and shoving, the back of his head was knocked by the corner of the table and died.”

“Can there be other clues” Mu Zi Yan then asked.

“No more, other than some tear marks, there is nothing else to be found.” Lady Lu shook her head and said.

“Let me see.” Mu Zi Yan stepped forward and examined it carefully with her eyes downcast, just as Niangzi Lu had said, she raised her eyes to look at Zhang Zong, “Brother Zhang, how did things go”

“When I arrived, Mu Er Gongzi was trapped in Wu Baozhai, and Wu Baozhai’s shopkeeper was also there, lying on the ground is the deceased, looking at the scene, many messy places, I heard that at that time it was due to a piece of ink stone and a verbal altercation, the two of them pushed and shoved, and then the deceased was pushed down and out of breath.” Zhang Zong looked at him and said.

“Only the two of them pushed and shoved,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

“At that time surrounded a lot of people, all dare not go forward, at that time also only these two people in pushing and shoving.” Zhang Zong continued, “I looked at the ground did not have any ground things cause the deceased feet slippery, not quite fall.”

Mu Zi Yan shook her head and said, “Look at the thick calluses on the dead man’s fingers, this person is a person with a body, I think his martial arts skills are not bad.”

“You mean,” Zhang Zong lowered his eyes and raised them to look at Lady Lu, “what’s going on here”

“I didn’t realize it when I looked just now.” Niangzi Lu was also surprised.

Mu Zi Yan continued, “It’s normal that Sister Lu didn’t notice it, Brother Zhang, take a closer look, this thick callus anyone who looks at it thinks it’s from holding the pen for too long.

Hold the pen too long, but look closely at the lines to tell.”

“But the martial arts practiced by this person must not be simple.” Mu Zi Yan stared and looked, “There are no other injuries, but he was pushed into the corner of the table, this is too strange, second brother nowadays only has some leg and foot work, and does not have any internal strength, no different from ordinary people, how can he be pushed down”

“When Smokey says so, I do feel that there must be something odd here.” Zhang Zong said in a low voice as he listened to Mu Zi Yan’s analysis.

“Go out and ask Second Brother.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently, turned around and left the autopsy room.

When she reached the public hall, she saw Zhang’s also kneeling, and she whispered, “Second aunt and second brother get up first.”

“Many thanks, Sheriff Lord.” Zhang’s eyes lowered as she answered, and then she got up with Mu Ling Rui.

Mu Ling Rui’s legs bent when he got up, his body was unsteady, Mu Zi Yan went up to support him, taking the opportunity to test his internal strength, and then looked at his tendons and veins, turning to look at Zhang Zong, “Lord Zhang, indeed, he does not have any earthly martial arts.”

“It seems that there is something else going on in this matter.” Zhang Zong said in a deep voice.

“Second brother, you and tell me about the situation at that time.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Mu Ling Rui and said.

Mu Ling Rui looked at Mu Zi Yan, silent for a moment, before narrating, “I was going to Wu Bao Zhai to buy the four treasures, the shopkeeper said that the new side of the purple inkstone, this purple inkstone is very rare, I came to the interest, they let the shopkeeper to bring to see, is looking at the time, the Wu family’s son came, but also looked at the inkstone, and then snatched the past, said that the inkstone is not for sale, I will be with him! Theory, I did not expect just a few lines of theory, he started to move.”

“He started it” Mu Zi Yan then asked.

“Yes.” Mu Lingrui nodded and responded.

“Then how” Mu Zi Yan looked at Mu Ling Rui seems to be recalling, and did not have any dodge and cover up, then know that what he said is true.

“I don’t know what happened, but when I was pushing and shoving, someone behind me pushed me hard and I pushed the Wu family’s son down.” Mu Ling Rui looked at Mu Zi Yan, “By the time I reacted the person was already dead.”

Mu Zi Yan continued, “How did Second Brother push someone down”

“My figure is similar to that Wu family’s son.” Mu Lingxuan stood in front of Mu Lingrui.

“That’s how I am.” Mu Ling Rui then didn’t hesitate, and immediately began to push and shove with Mu Ling Xuan.

Mu Zi Yan handed Zhang Zong a look, Zhang Zong nodded his head and replied, then he stood far behind Mu Ling Xuan, but was blocked by the onlookers, he pushed with his internal force, and Mu Ling Rui pushed with a force, and pushed Mu Ling Xuan out right then and there.

Mu Lingxuan took a few steps backward before stabilizing himself, patting his chest in relief.

When Mu Ling Rui saw Mu Ling Xuan like this, he was slightly embarrassed and arched his hand, “Big brother, I’m offended.”

“Isn’t that so, Sheriff,” Zhang Zong said as he looked at her.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded, “Go to the scene.”

“Good.” Zhang Zong was instantly energized, and the few of them headed to Wu Baozhai together.

Waiting for the Wu Bao Zhai, the shopkeeper since the red eyes, raised his eyes to see Mu Ling Rui, was about to rush over, when he saw Mu Zi Yan and Zhang Zong, he stepped back a few steps, “I’ve seen the Grand Master.”

“Shopkeeper Wu, this is County Lord Cheng’an.” Zhang Zong said in a cold voice.

“Herborist see Sheriff Lord.” When Boss Wu heard this, he hurriedly knelt down, while the fellows inside all knelt down as well.

Outside the people heard that came is the Cheng An county princess, earlier heard that she is the goddess, now since the news, have rushed over, but can not go in, had to probe the head to see.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked around before looking at Mu Ling Rui, “Second brother, stand in the seat before you.”

“Yes.” Mu Lingrui nodded in response, and then stood in the seat he had pushed and shoved earlier.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked around, then looked at the shopkeeper at the side, “Shopkeeper Wu, what were you doing when the crime occurred”

“I was ordering goods at the back, and because of the temporary arrival of goods, I left for a short while, not realizing that this kind of thing had happened.” Shopkeeper Wu couldn’t help but sob as he spoke.

Mu Zi Yan continued, “What about the rest of them”

“A few fellows are there.” Boss Wu continued.

“What were you all doing at the time of the crime” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at the fellow kneeling in front of her and asked in a cold voice.

“Back to the county princess, the grasshopper was greeting the guests, when he suddenly heard the noise, and seeing that it was the young master again, he didn’t dare to come forward.” The fellow returned truthfully.

“Re-establish where you stood at the time of the crime once more now.” Muzzy Smoke nodded slightly and whispered.

“Yes.” The fellows responded, and with a rush, they got up and stood up individually.

Mu Zi Yan turned around and looked at the people gathered outside, “At that time when the crime occurred, who could see it?”

“Grass people.” Mu Zi Yan’s words undoubtedly caused a commotion among the people outside, and in a hurry, someone then came forward and knelt down to respond.

Mu Zi Yan continued, “Did anyone see what happened inside?”

“Herborists saw it.” An old man hurriedly said, “The grasshopper saw that there was another person sitting at the corner behind this gentleman.”

“But here,” Muzzy Smoke asked in a low voice.

“The man disappeared after the crime.” The old man continued.

“But know who he is” Mu Zi Yan asked immediately after.

“I don’t know, but the dress looks like a young master.” The old man whispered back.

“The straw man saw it too.” Another dry, thin teenager said, “The fellow was accompanying the man.”

“Oh,” Muzzy Smoke continued, “which fellow”

“That’s him.” The teenager said, pointing inside to the fellow standing around the corner.

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan nodded in response and turned to look at Yun Xiang, “Reward.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang answered, and then she went forward to give these two people the silver reward.
