Chapter 226
The servant who sent the message was very responsible, and told the whole story of the matter.

Although Huang knew that Jiang Nan could not be blamed for this matter, she couldn't help but wanted to vent her anger.

At this time, Mu Yun interrupted what Huang was about to say, and asked:

"Mom, what's going on in the shop?"

When Huang frowned, her eyes turned red, and she said:

"All the goods in the shop were destroyed, and most of the silver taels were stolen. If there were not more than one place for silver taels in the shop, I'm afraid they would be taken away. It's a pity that those goods are probably because of those robbers. They couldn’t take it away, so they all went back. Those pastries are fine, but they have soiled the braised soup we’ve raised for more than half a year, and tore up the fur fabrics you made by yourself.”

These are not what Mu Yun wants to hear, she frowned and asked:

"Anything else? How's the boy in the shop?"

Huang smiled wryly:

"The guys are all fine. Xue Er was the first to discover the accident in the shop, and he sent someone to ask me to check it out. Thanks to Xue Er and Du Ru, they have minimized the loss of the shop. "

It turned out that after the accident happened in the shop, Xue Er and Du Ru called the shop assistants to find out the parts that could be used from the damaged goods.

For example, cakes are all crushed and sold to people who raise poultry and livestock.

The stewed mei products were all washed, some were sold to those who made pig feed, and some were sold to people in the village with dogs. In the end, they couldn't be disposed of, so they were thrown directly into the mountains and forests to feed those wild wolves and wild beasts.

Fur fabrics are easier to deal with. The fur is only scratched and not burned, so it can be reused. It's just something made again, but it can't be sold at a good price like before.

Huang said doubtfully:
"Why didn't this group of people directly burn down the shop, instead of making such a big move?"

Mu Yun shrank her pupils and said:

"They were able to do so many things in one night, it must have a large team. As for why they didn't set fire, it may be because most of the buildings in the city are made of wood. Burn my three shops, only I'm afraid that most of the entire town will be destroyed, they don't want to cause such a big impact, so they didn't use that once and for all method."

When Huang expressed her doubts, she happened to remember that her three shops happened to be in three directions of the town.Because when she opened the shop, most of them were tightly packed, so the locations of the shops were different, and they were not gathered in one place at all.

As long as the three shops burn, the whole town will soon be on fire if no one finds out in time.

"There are two possibilities for them to do this. One is that they are kind and don't want innocent people to be involved in this matter. The other possibility is that this accident is just a warning from them. Their business may not just destroy the goods and money."

After thinking so deeply, she began to suspect:
"The horse went crazy and injured Lin Jinyan, is it also related to the perpetrator?"

When everyone heard it, they were startled.

Mu Yun went on to say:

"I don't believe in the first possibility. If they are really kind, they should be merciful and let us go. As for the second possibility, there is one less thing they should do. If they threaten others, apart from money and a little bit of physical punishment, but they didn't hurt the clerk in my shop, and they didn't hurt my mother, so maybe they had already done the threat, so the horse went crazy, probably That's what they did."

After Mu Yun's long guess, everyone felt that there was some truth to it.

Axiu even looked at Mu Yun's eyes glowing:

"Mu Yun, you are really amazing. You can cook and run a shop by yourself, and you have a good understanding of the minds of these perpetrators."

Mu Yun shook her head and said:
"This is just my guess. Whether it's accurate or not depends on Ji Ge's investigation results. It's already late today, so let's take a rest first, and Axiu and Jiangnan will stay at my house temporarily."

After getting Mu Yun's order, Yulan and Yuyao quickly tidied up the house, and they slept peacefully.

The next day, when several people went to check the situation in the shop, they were all shocked by the sight in front of them.

All the things in the shop were overturned on the ground, and the tables, chairs, benches and counters were all scratched by swords, obviously they could no longer be used.The goods placed on the counter were probably taken away by Xue Er and Du Ru, so they were all empty, but it can be seen from the mess on the ground that those goods must have been treated no less than those tables, chairs and benches. .

While listening to the loss reported by Du Ru and Xue Er, Mu Yun looked around for any clues.

During the exploration, it was Jiangnan who spoke first:

"This group of people is probably the army."

Several people were shocked when they heard the words, and asked why Jiangnan had such a view.

Jiang Nan pointed to the knife marks on the table and chairs, and said:

"The traces of these swords are very sharp and deep. With such swift movements, the person who wants to strike is also a decisive person. Where is the most such people? Of course, the Ministry of War. In addition, if it is from ordinary people Swords, the carved marks, and the corners cannot always be so smooth, because the iron materials used for folk swords are not refined iron, and the swords made will become rough as long as they are scratched on these furniture a few times. The edge of the notch is also much frizzier."

Jiang Nan suddenly asked Mu Yun:

"The furniture you use is relatively hard wood, right?"

"It's walnut wood. It's a little less hard than pear wood, but it's still pretty hard."

Because the shop was smashed by the Yuan family and Mrs. Ji successively, Mu Yun was more cautious when buying furniture in the later stage.But they couldn't afford good furniture that was too expensive. She happened to see someone buying walnut wood, but many people didn't know the goods, so she missed it.

"Well, if you want to chop this kind of hard wood to make marks, you must have a certain amount of strength and a sharp blade, and folks can't make this kind of sword."

After Jiang Nan finished speaking, he frowned and looked around.

Mu Yun asked:

"There are other?"

Jiang Nan said with some uncertainty:

"Even if I don't say it, you should be able to feel that once you enter this room, all the traces of the depiction seem to emit a kind of aura. This kind of aura, in my opinion, is murderous."

After Jiang Nan finished speaking, his eyes stayed on the plaque above the counter.

On the plaque inscribed by Ji Ge, there is a big cross mark, which is obvious, almost everyone can see it when entering the door.

Even if Mu Yun has never seen the perpetrator, but seeing the traces on the counter, she can feel a strong sense of threat.

Mu Yun murmured:

"You guessed it right."

They do mean to warn us.

Axiu interrupted and said:

"Warning us of what? And who is warning us?"

Mu Yun was moved by us in her words.Although it was her shop that was destroyed, it seemed that both Axiu and Jiang Nan regarded it as their own business.Just when Mu Yun was about to speak, Ji Ge walked in from the door.

As soon as he saw Mu Yun, he hurried to her side, sized her up, and said:

"I accidentally fell asleep yesterday, but I missed the news of your return. Are you safe on this journey? Have you ever been injured?"

When Mu Yun saw Ji Ge, her heart ached slightly.

Ji Ge looked haggard, the most obvious being the shadows under his eye sockets.

It may be because he has been busy with the destruction of the shop in the past few days, and he has been running around constantly. In addition, he is already busy with affairs, so he may have stayed up for several nights.Probably last night, I couldn't hold on any longer, so I fell asleep.

Zhang Jian, the guard who followed Ji Ge, did not give Ji Ge a chance to cover up. He said bluntly:
"What 'accidentally fell asleep', obviously the body couldn't support it and passed out."

Hearing this, Ji Ge glared at Zhang Jian.

Mu Yun pulled Ji Ge and said:
"Handling the case is not something that can be done overnight. Why don't you go back and rest today. We will do the rest."

Ji Ge shook his head, but before he could say anything, Axiu stood up.

She first grabbed Ji Ge's wrist to feel his pulse, then frowned, looked at Ji Ge and said:

"Your body has been severely depleted. If you don't pay attention, it will be premature aging."

Axiu didn't make alarmist remarks, Ji Ge did do a lot of things for politics, and he wanted to stand on a high ground as soon as possible and marry Bai Qing as soon as possible, so he worked harder.Various mutations have taken place in the Lin family in the past few months, and he also took each item to heart and checked carefully.

A person's energy is inherently limited, and if he uses his body to the extreme, it is naturally a deficit.

Hearing this, Zhang Jian was the first to be unwilling. He said:

"Where did the hairy girl come from, you are talking alarmistly here."

This is the first time Zhang Jian has seen Axiu, so naturally he doesn't know about Axiu's medical skills, so when he heard Axiu's words, he subconsciously felt that this woman was cursing Ji Ge.

Axiu frowned and looked at Zhang Jian, and said:
"You can't hide your illness like this. If you are sick, you should treat it. I will regret it until I can't cure it. If you don't believe in my medical skills, then ask other doctors. What they said, It may not be easier to hear than what I said."

After Axiu finished speaking, she stood behind Jiangnan.

Zhang Jian widened his eyes and asked him:

"Where does your maidservant's self-confidence come from?"

Jiang Nan was also a little upset by Zhang Jian's series of questions. He looked at Ji Ge and said:

"Is this how you are controlled?"

Ji Ge coughed, but did not speak.

Mu Yun sighed.

"Axiu is Jiangnan's personal bodyguard, and her medical skills are very high. When Jinyan broke his arm, she took care of it carefully. In less than a month, she was able to move freely." After explaining to Zhang Jian, she looked at Zhang Jian. Ji Ge said, "Don't take chances. Since you can't stand it anymore, you should go to rest. The things in the shop can't be solved in a day or two."

"but……"

Ji Ge wanted to say something, but was blocked by Mu Yun's words.

"I'm my sister, you have to listen to me."

Ji Ge blushed and muttered a few words:
"It's just too early for a cup of tea."

Mu Yun frowned, angrily:

"Even if it's a little early, she's still your sister."

It was very funny for everyone to watch the bickering between the two siblings.

In the end, Ji Ge couldn't survive Mu Yun's persistence, so he could only go back to rest, and they decided to discuss it tomorrow.

Before Ji Ge left, Mu Yun still grabbed Zhang Jian and told him to rest with Ji Ge. If Ji Ge refused, she would directly knock him out.Ji Ge was walking in front, his whole face turned black.

After Ji Ge and the two left, Lin Jinyan looked at Mu Yun and said:

"What did you want to say just now?"

Mu Yun thought for a while and said:

"I remember Ji Ge said before that Mrs. Ji's brother seems to be in charge of military power in Beijing. According to Jiangnan's speculation, the only person who has grievances with us and still has military power in his hands is Mrs. Ji's brother."
