Chapter 394 Zhu Chen's Death
She and Xu Younan stayed in Chuzhou for many days.Xu Younan was not low-key at all, he made a strange incident of hoarding goods, and made a big deal with Tan Lang.

With such a movement, Tan Zhou should have known that they were coming to Chuzhou.

However, there was no response.

Of course it can't be that there is no real response.

It can be seen from Tan Zhou's careful planning of a killing game, but he didn't take the initiative to attack, and only waited for Mu Dianke to take the bait himself. It can be seen that he is a very patient hunter.

Perhaps he had already started the layout, but the lines were too long, the chess was played too darkly, and the moistening was silent, so she didn't notice the clues.

What could it be?

I have been in Huairen Hall these days, and if Tan Zhou wants to plot against her, it is very likely that he will reach into Huairen Hall.Where would he start?
Mu Dian can comb carefully.

There are two major events that happened in the hall recently: one is that the soup pot for distributing medicines in Songleng Street was poisoned, which almost caused great changes;

The two things had nothing to do with each other. If it was Tan Zhou's handwriting, she really couldn't think of what purpose Tan Zhou wanted to achieve with these two things.

There is another thing that is extremely easy to make a fuss about.Du Simian from Dongshu Pharmacy has an affair with Tan Lang's concubine Wu Luzhi, does Tan Zhou know?
If he knew about it, how would the pair of cousins ​​attack him?

Mu Dian had no clue at all.

Looking up and looking into the distance, there are dense ancient trees, thick green, and the potential can cover the sky.

A little man ran up the boulevard, holding a delicate mahogany box in his arms, panting as he ran, it was Xiao Li Zhuang.

In May, the sun is poisonous day by day.

The little guy was already fat, and after running all the way, his forehead was covered with sweat.The square box was held in his arms, and it was also soaked in sweat, with heavy water marks on the edge.

Li Zhu ran straight towards Mu Dianke, but he was not looking for Liao Shiqi.

When she came to Mu Dianke, she handed the box to her and said, "Here, for you."

There is a sense of offering treasures in the air.

Mu Dian opened the lid of the box, and saw a pair of lifelike golden crickets on the black velvet. The tentacles on the head and the forks of the tail were clearly distinct, very lifelike.

Surprised: "Send it to me?"

Li Zhu nodded and said: "Yes, I heard that you were injured, so I want to give you a gift, but you are here with the young master, and you must have everything. You don't care about giving you food and clothing. I think about it , I will send you this pair of golden crickets to entertain you. Touch its tentacles and see, it will still make a sound."

Mu Dianke reached out and touched the antennae on the cricket's head, and he heard two "chirp" sounds from the cricket's belly, which should be due to the metal shrapnel inside.

Crickets are small in size, and there is little space in their belly to hold things. The sound is not very realistic, but it has a half-dozen charm, which is quite interesting.

Mu Dian could see that the storage box was exquisite, and the box was carefully padded with velvet. Presumably, this pair of crickets were Li Zhu's favorites, and he gave them to himself. This kind of heart is really touching.

She is no longer a child, and is not very interested in these playthings.So I had no choice but to spoil Li Zhu's interest, pretending to be full of interest and poking the cricket's tentacles, causing the crickets to keep chirping, raised his head and said with a smile:
"This cricket is really cute, I like it very much. It's just that I've been traveling all year round, living in no fixed place, so it's inconvenient to carry it with me. How about this, I'll keep it with me for a few days to play with, and then I'll give it back to you."

Li Zhu was also a bit reluctant to part with the golden cricket, but how could he get back the things he gave away, and said: "That's good, when you want to go out, you can let me keep it here. When you want it, come and get it from me." .”

Mu Dian nodded with a smile: "Okay."

Li Zhu came closer to teach Mu Dian how to control the cricket, and said:

"Sister, I just heard from Yangzhi that it was your idea to catch the villainous shopkeeper of Shou'an Medicine Hall. You are really capable. I will follow you in the future. If you need someone to run errands, you can't find them." Yang Zhi, you can also find me, I guarantee you can handle it properly."

Coincidentally, Mu Dian really needed Li Zhu's help.

After listening to Mu Dianke's words, Li Zhu frowned, thought for a while, and said:

"A few days before the theft, strange things... seemed to have happened. In those few days, Chen Xiang'an didn't go to fill the medicine bag. His cousin said he was sick.

But Chen Xiang'an was dishonest, he always liked to pretend to be sick and lazy, everyone didn't believe him, so they didn't go to see him, only Xiaoxue and Feifei went.

But Grandma Chen Xiangan said that he was very ill and was afraid of being quarreled, so he actually drove Xiaoxue and Feifei out.Everyone was very angry. "

The little fat man said angrily: "Later, Chen Xiang'an and his grandma scolded you and the young master together, their voice was so loud, it didn't look like they were sick."

Mu Dianke was slightly taken aback: Scolding her and Chang Qianfo?

She remembered very clearly that the iron guards had frequent activities outside the meeting hall in those few days, and the number of people passing by suddenly decreased a lot, and almost no new faces appeared.

She wondered and wondered, and didn't feel too relieved.After all, Chang Qianfo has his reasons for doing things.

Thinking about it now, the number of ledgers sent by Shui Huoyan increased sharply in those few days, and she was so busy that she didn't even have time to go out.

This is not a coincidence, it was intentional by Chang Qianfo.

Li Zhu stuck out his tongue, with an annoyed expression on his face, clearly remorseful.Uneasy peeping at Mu Dianke from the corner of his eye.

Mu Dianke pretended not to have seen it, and without further questioning, he said, "Then what happened to Guanshi Zhu's house?"

Seeing that she didn't notice this layer, Li Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with high spirits: "You said that at Grandpa Zhu's house, Kunzi and Tiantian in his family are all fine, and they will pack medicine bags as before. Aunt Ah Jing even gave us glutinous rice cakes, nothing unusual."

Mu Dian asked Xin Yang to bring some fruits and snacks for Li Zhu to eat, and asked him not to say what he said today.Li Zhu patted his chest and reassured that it would not be leaked, then ran to greet Liao Shiqi, and ran away.

An Tiru came over and said, "Miss Si suspects that there is something hidden about the theft of medicinal materials from the Western Medicine Storehouse?"

Mu Dian was not very sure, he shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, I hope I'm overthinking."

An Tiru said: "There is something, the young master told his subordinates, if the fourth lady doesn't ask, don't mention it. On the day the two stewards hanged themselves, the young master asked me to check the recent movements of the Zhu and Chen families."

Mu Dianke's heart trembled, and he asked, "Then what did you find out?"

An Tiru said: "The little grandson of Chen Jingxi's family is not sick, but missing."

as predicted!

An Tiru looked solemn, and said: "At Chen Jingxi's funeral, the little grandson reappeared again. My son guessed that the two managers, Zhu and Chen, must have been coerced by someone."

Who has the motive to coerce the two little medical stewards of Changjiabao?Who has the guts?

After much deliberation, Mu Dian still felt that this matter was directed at him.
