Chapter 18 So Is This the Money Ability of a Rich Woman?

Peng Ke looked at Mu Xiyun silently.

Although Buyanzong is a sect that Peng Ke doesn't like very much, but to be fair, the word-of-mouth of Buyanzong is still good.

In the past thousand years, the information that Bu Yanzong may have sold may not be all correct, but at least there are very few mistakes.

Especially this kind of incident that does not involve a higher level is the murder of a wealthy family's son.

Since Mu Guoli paid for Bu Yanzong to help investigate, and they did find out the whole thing, the chain of evidence is complete, and the prisoner has been punished, there should be nothing wrong.

Even if, from a rational point of view, the Fang family really had a motive to murder brother Mu Xiyun.

But being motivated doesn't mean you'll do something.

Maybe this really is a coincidence.

Even the Fang family may have indeed planned to murder brother Mu Xiyun, but by coincidence, she hadn't taken action yet, and brother Mu Xiyun happened to be killed while he was out for inspection.

After all, sometimes luck is such a thing, it is really unclear.

But if he looked at this matter from Mu Xiyun's point of view, his own brother was murdered, his mother died of depression because of this incident, and the Fang family who had the most murderous motive was after his mother died. He was righted, inherited everything from his mother, and even became his stepmother.

Who can be calm when it comes to such a thing?

Mu Xiyun has always thought that it is normal for Fang Shi to have this kind of hatred. It would be unreasonable if he could quickly see through and accept Fang Shi's innocence.

With some pity, Peng Ke finally nodded and said: "I can help you with this favor. I can let the Jinyiwei Qianhu in Suzhou Mansion secretly investigate the murder of your brother."

"But eight years have passed since your brother was killed, and the group of thieves who claimed to have killed your brother have also been brought to justice. It is very difficult to find out the results now."

"I promise you to do your best, but you have to be mentally prepared that you may not find anything."

Mu Xiyun is sad and angry, but she is not stupid. Knowing that it is really difficult to find out what happened after eight years, it's just that it involves the lives of her brother and mother after all, and she just wants a result.

As long as Peng Ke is willing to help her, even if it is finally found out that she really has nothing to do with the Fang family, she has a clear conscience towards her mother and brother.

"Thank you Brother Peng."

Mu Xiyun nodded with relief, reached out and groped in the collar, then took out a few bank notes and handed them to Peng Ke.

"Brother Peng uses official equipment for private affairs, and there will definitely be a lot of inconvenience. Brother Peng will use the 1 taels of silver notes for turnover."

"If it's not enough, you can send someone to pick it up. Although I don't have much savings, I can still get three to five thousand taels."

Mu Xiyun laughed at himself, and said sadly, "This is the only place I can help."

Peng Ke took the bank note from Mu Xiyun in astonishment, completely dumbfounded.

Smelling the fragrant wind blowing when Mu Xiyun approached him, Peng Ke was in no mood to distinguish whether the fragrance was sweet-scented osmanthus or jasmine.

At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind.

"So this is the money-making ability of a rich woman?"

A silver note worth 1 taels of silver!

With the current purchasing power of silver, 50 taels is enough to buy a ten-year-old maid, and 100 taels is enough to settle down, enough for a grown man to do his life's work!
The salary that Peng Ke got in one year was equivalent to less than 100 taels of silver. He had to spend 100 years as the commander of Jinyiwei to get it!
But in Mu Xiyun's mouth, it seemed to be as light as a few taels of silver, and he even wanted to come to her for money after spending enough.

This is equivalent to a rich woman in modern times giving you a 1000 million bank card for you to spend as you like, and you can ask her for it after spending it.

This feeling, this sense of happiness, directly knocked Penke out.

Nervously, he put a few banknotes into his pocket, but said embarrassedly: "This is not good, although you and I will get married in the future, but 1 taels is not a small amount..."

Mu Xiyun smiled when he saw Peng Ke who was at a loss and flustered when he got such a large amount of money for the first time.

This is the first time since they met, Penke has shown a little bit of disposition in line with what he should have at his age.

To be honest, before meeting Peng Ke with his own eyes, Mu Xiyun was unavoidably intimidated by Peng Ke's position as commander of Jinyiwei and the rumors about him from the outside world.

What the former two chiefs of Jinyiwei did was really scary. In addition, after Peng Ke took over, although there were no major crimes, they could be regarded as killing the rivers and lakes and bleeding into rivers, which is still very deterrent.

And when the two met, except when Peng Ke saw him for the first time, he was briefly distracted by Mu Xiyun's beauty.

In the subsequent conversation between the two, Peng Ke was always serious and unsmiling, frowning from time to time, with a very majestic aura, which made Mu Xiyun's little heart follow Peng Ke's frown up and down.

It wasn't until Mu Xiyun took out the 1 taels of silver note and handed it to Peng Ke that she saw a little bit of embarrassment and panic that young people should have from Peng Ke.

I also saw the appearance of Peng Ke who "has never seen the world".

Only then did Mu Xiyun feel a little more real about her future husband.

It turned out that Peng Yan Wang, who was famous for his murder and frightened the sects in the world, also had this kind of helpless and childish attitude.

"Brother Peng, feel free to accept it. This is my private savings. Usually, I don't need much. There is no place to spend this money."

"Brother Peng, please take more trouble to restore my brother's innocence in the murder case. Please."

Seeing Mu Xiyun bent over and was about to bow down, Peng Ke quickly reached out to support Mu Xiyun.

"Miss Mu doesn't need to be so polite, I will do my best to investigate, don't worry." Peng Ke said repeatedly.

Although it is really difficult to find out the results of this old case eight years ago.

But Peng Ke has also made up his mind, and he is going to do his best to help Mu Xiyun investigate and try to find out the truth!
It's really not because of the 1 taels of silver!
The main reason is that Peng Ke can't see that the girl has been depressed because of the death of his brother and mother, and there is a hurdle in his heart.

There are really not many good girls who are as affectionate, righteous, reasonable, and understanding as Mu Xiyun.

Since he has the ability to help find out the truth, he will naturally help to the end!

Mu Xiyun nodded gratefully: "Thank you Brother Peng, I hope this matter is only a secret between you and me, and my father, I hope Brother Peng can hide it for a while."

Although she really suspected that her brother's death had something to do with Fang's.

But for the sake of the apparent harmony of the Mu family, and the very small possibility of wronging a good person, Mu Xiyun naturally didn't want to let his father know.

Penke even agreed to this.

There is a high probability that Mu Guoli will become his future father-in-law, and Fang's family will be his future mother-in-law.

Regardless of Peng Ke's identity, privately investigating whether Fang's family was related to the murder of Mu Xiyun's brother would be an embarrassing matter for both families.

It would be fine if something was found out, but if nothing was found out, how could he see his mother-in-law in the future?

This thing can only be done quietly!
