I promise

Chapter 788
The day after Cheng Zhuyan's death, Tu Xuan died on his back.

The discovery of the body was a complete accident.

The horses in the stable ran out in fright, knocked over the bucket cart that was transporting waste rocks out of Songhuayuan, and threw Tu Xuan's body out of the cart.

The state of death was the same as that of Cheng Zhuyan—the throat was completely broken, and the throat was cut off violently in an instant, resulting in death.

As we all know, Mu Zijin is the apprentice of Lan Qingping, the last head of the Burning Sun Sect, and he practiced palm kung fu. A pair of "ecstasy hands" can cut gold and iron, even crush a soft throat.

When Mu Zhongcheng stepped into the Songhua Courtyard, Mu Zijin was digging stones with his back facing the Moon Gate, his back straight under the blue shirt, as if he was leaning against it with a ruler.

It is hard for Mu Zhongcheng to imagine such a proud person, he would take his carefully polished stone carvings to the market, and let those vulgar and arrogant upstart businessmen who don't know how to appreciate them dictate.

I have never heard of Mu Zijin being interested in money before.

If he is keen on earning money, with his ability, he should have accumulated a little during the ten years since he left, and he shouldn't have come back poor and empty - except for a few clothes, there is only a piano that Lan Si'er left for him.

Mu Zhongcheng didn't understand Mu Zijin until Mu Ziyan came back early and set fire to his yard.

——It takes more than force to protect a person from sorrow and trouble.

You have to have money to clear the way.

Mu Zhongcheng remembered that when Mu Zijin first came to Mu's house, life was very miserable.At that time, the Jin family was powerful, and Mu Zijin's appearance made Mu Cangping extremely embarrassed. He didn't dare to do anything other than give him a bite of food.

The lowest servants in the house dared to bully him.

Mu Zijin was stubborn, refused to bow his head, and often had injuries on his body.

Mu Dian was the first to extend a helping hand to him, and also the one who gave him the most warmth.Jin Yanchen, the son of the Jin family, showed his favor, and Jin Lianyin's acceptance fundamentally changed his situation in Mu's house.

Mu Zijin has a withdrawn personality, but he values ​​friendship. With this past, he can die for Mu Dian.If he really believed that Cheng Zhuyan would be detrimental to Mu Dian, it would not be impossible to kill Cheng Zhuyan.

But why did he want to kill Tu Xuanbei?

"Cheng Zhuyan and Tu Xuan are dead."

Mu Zhongcheng said straight to the point, "He was choked to death by a man with strong wrists. The body appeared in the waste rock transported from your yard."

"I didn't kill it." Mu Zijin kept chiseling in his hand, without looking back, and without explaining too much.

According to Mu Zijin's previous temperament, he really would not lie.

But more than ten years have passed, and people will change.Mu Zhongcheng was a little uncertain.

"Cheng Zhuyan secretly attacked Xiao Si'er, you know about it?"

"I know." Mu Zijin said briefly, "I asked her, but she said it wasn't her."

"Why do you believe her?"

"intuition."

When Mu Zhongcheng was young, he heard old people say that at the beginning of life, he had the ability of telepathy.

It's just that later people gathered in groups to fight and fight, relying too much on wisdom and skills, and this ability degenerated.Only a very small number of people retain their true heart, are not disturbed by the world, and still have the true perception of human affairs.

He didn't believe in these claims before, but as he got older, he became devout and in awe of some profound powers that were beyond the scope of cognition.

If Mu Zijian and Mu Ziyan came to talk to him about their intuition, he would definitely think they were talking nonsense.But Mu Zijin, a eccentric person who has lived alone for many years, does things purely by intuition, which sounds very reasonable.

Mu Zhongcheng didn't leave immediately, hoping that Mu Zijin would say something more.

But it was clear that Mu Zijin was more interested in the stone sculptures in front of him than the murder charges that flew in from the sky.

Mu Zhongcheng had no choice but to go.

——I can’t ask any more questions.

Even if Mu Zijin really killed the person, can he still kill Mu Cangping's son to avenge Cheng Zhuyan and Tu Xuanbei?
***
Mu Dianke was teaching Xiaoyao how to read and write, when he saw Huo An approaching, his brows showed that he wanted to say something.

She continued the previous words, patiently finished explaining the definition of the word "Xi" with Yao Zhen, and asked her to repeat it again, put the book down with a smile,

"Xiao Ke'er is really amazing... Let's learn this today, Xiao Ke'er and Aunt Xiaoye go out to play, okay?"

The little girl is always smart, and her mother also taught that adults often have important things to do, so they can't always be with her, she replied in a waxy voice, "Okay."

With a twist of her limp body, Xiaoxiao leaned back on the high stool and slid down skillfully.Tilting his head again, he brought his left cheek closer: "Little Ke'er is amazing, kiss me, aunt."

Mu Dianke couldn't help laughing, bent down and kissed the little guy on the left and right cheeks, patted her head, and said with a smile, "Go."

Xiaoyao was really happy to go with Xiaoye, she didn't let Xiaoye hold her when she crossed the threshold, she held on to the door frame and stepped over by herself.

Mu Dian couldn't help telling, "...slow down, yes... don't let go."

Watching Xiaoye lead Yaozhen down the steps and head towards the pavilion, Mu Dianke looked away and his smile turned cold, "Who died?"

"Tu Xuan's back."

Huo An felt ashamed, and said, "This subordinate is not doing his job well, and the second son Mu was involved."

Mu Dianke looked up at Huo An, it was a questioning look.

Huo An went on to say, "Tu Xuanbei's body was found among the waste rocks transported out of the second son's courtyard, and like Cheng Zhuyan, he was strangled to death..."

Mu Zijin practiced ecstasy hands, his palms were strong, so he couldn't escape suspicion.

It turned out that the murderer chose to choke the throat to kill, and this was his intention.

"It's none of your business." Mu Dianke said, "This matter was planned hastily. You have done a good job of pushing things forward steadily in the expected direction. Whether there will be any side issues in the middle depends on that." It's not something you can control—they are all foxes who have matured for thousands of years, so how can you not leave yourself a way out?"

Having said that, Huo An still didn't want to trouble Mu Dianke by not doing well what he had handled.

The former Mu Dian was wise and strong, and of course he admired him.But he prefers that Mu Dian can live a simple life like these days - chatting with Yu Yi about homework; taking Xiaoyao to release paper kites; bickering with bitter cauliflower, grabbing food with Mei Longxue - more lively, Also happier.

Or he is not strong enough.

"The subordinates will try their best to make up for their mistakes, so that the second son will not be accused of being innocent."

Mu Dianke smiled lightly, "This matter is not as serious as you think. Even if it is finally determined that my second brother did it, what can we do with him?"

He said again: "I am no longer the saint girl of the Ming Palace. You don't have to call yourself a subordinate, and you don't have to abide by those rules. You are allowed to stand but not to sit. Just like Caihua and the others, be more casual."

"Yes." Huo An replied, his attitude was still respectful.

Mu Dian knew that his habit would be difficult to change for a while, so he didn't force it.

He took a piece of paper from the desk, picked up a pen to write a letter, and asked casually, "Is my third brother at home today?"

"Going out at noon." Huo An said, "Master Mu seems to be inquiring about buying a house."

Mu Dianke's brows that had just relaxed were frowned again.
