C4

In the center of Wu Cheng Prefecture was written the four words, written in the main hall of Wu City Prefecture. On the front of the hall, there were two sides of Zhu Chi's signboard.

Wu Cheng nervously sat on the high chair. After a long time of calmness, he managed to keep himself from shaking. His beady eyes occasionally looked down at the grandmaster's chair in the middle of the hall.

Lin Yi, who was originally the Grand Master, now had an indifferent expression. As for Bao Fu Yun, who was always on close protection, he dressed up as a guard with Su Mu and Wang Yu. He stood on both sides of the court with a Murderous Rod in his hand.

The County Magistrate, who was trembling in fear, could only clap his hands weakly. At the same time, the Magistrate's guard shouted in unison, "Mighty!"

"Bring the victim to court, Zhu Chunsheng." The county magistrate regained some of his composure as he shouted loudly.

Upon seeing this, Su Mu, who was wearing a large "Brave" military uniform, couldn't help but doubt the origins of these two people. Not only could they be brought into the mansion so casually, but they also made the County Magistrate of Wu City, who was so afraid, not an ordinary inspecting officer. Could it be Wang Sun, Gui Hao?

Su Mu's gaze was filled with suspicion as he looked at Lin Yi, who was sitting casually on the chair. If she really was a member of the noble clans of the capital, could her father's grievances be broken through from his side?

Just as Su Mu was thinking about this, a scholar with a delicate and refined face was brought to the hall by the yamen runners.

"This commoner pays his respects to the lord." Even though three months had passed since his mother's funeral, Zhu Chusheng was still dressed in white to be filial, his already emaciated body seemed to be even more haggard from the pain of losing his mother.

Wu Cheng gazed at Lin Yi and said guiltily, "I have summoned you here to reinvestigate the matter of your mother's death."

"Master, didn't you finish your case a few months ago? Now that my mother has buried my soul, bringing it up again is no doubt a heart for a commoner to be gouged out. " Although Zhu Chusheng's voice was low, it was still very agitated.

Being mentioned that the case had been closed, Lin Yi faintly glanced at the hall. The county magistrate had always been paying attention to that side, and upon receiving this cold and blade-like gaze, his eyes suddenly became as sharp as needles, "This official …" I was misled by a mediocre person before and thought that he had escaped. Recently, someone had come to report that he was still in Wu Cheng City and that the people of the city had been poisoned again to give an explanation to your mother and the dead. I ask that you come here and cooperate with the investigation. "

The county magistrate's voice was firm, and the kneeling Zhu Chusheng became agitated. Suddenly, he couldn't help but cough, "If the real culprit is found, then this humble commoner will naturally cooperate with you."

The magistrate looked at Zhu Chusheng with satisfaction. Someone was blocking his way, but it was a good thing that the citizens under his jurisdiction were obedient. "Since that's the case, I'll send two bailiffs to follow you back to your residence for investigation."

Zhu Chusheng stopped coughing when he heard this, but he still nodded his head, "Yes, this subject will obey."

After saying everything that needed to be said, the magistrate stealthily looked at Lin Yi, "Grand Master, is there anything that needs to be mentioned?"

Bao Fusheng, who was standing next to Lin Yi, held his breath for a long time before finally opening his mouth in an unkind manner. This county's corruption cases were like a sea of nerves, causing him to be even more timid than a rat ant.

"None." After Lin Yi gave a brief reply, he cast a warning look at the bag.

Just like this, with just a few words from the county magistrate, Bao Fu Sheng and Su Mu entered the Zhu Residence.

Before leaving for the Zhu manor, Wang Dong pulled Su Mu back worriedly, "Why do you have to go there? If that evil person comes back, how can you escape with your body intact?" I don't agree. "

"Wei, don't worry. Everything will be fine. Isn't Sir Lin going with us?" Su Mu knew that the king's worries were not baseless. Even she herself was not sure when the villain in the shadows would appear, "I will do my best to protect myself, and you know that the case against the Zhu Residence will be considered a matter of concern to me. Once the city gates are unsealed, we can continue onward."

Wang Tong understood that ever since he had entered Wu City, the Zhu Clan's murder case had always been on Su Mu's mind. Now that he had used these two unknown people to investigate this case, it might be a good thing for Su Mu.

"Well, then, I will wait for your safe return."

"Mm, but you have to be careful too. That Sir Lin's identity must be even more extraordinary. As for my father …" Su Mu planned to tell Wang Yan about his plans.

"Brother Su, this carriage has already been prepared as per your request. Why don't we set off?"

Not only did Bao Fusheng not understand that, as brothers, how could two men bid farewell for so long? He also did not understand why Su Mu, a 'man' who looked weak, would request to ride in a carriage. However, his years of upbringing and personality had made him hold back his curiosity and ask politely.

Inevitably, Su Mu also politely replied, "Thank you, Brother Lin. I will definitely go all out in this investigation. I will definitely try my best to take care of my body."

The two of them politely clasped their hands together, and just as they were about to sit in the carriage, Lin Yi, who hadn't said anything all this time, said in a cold tone, "If something goes wrong, immediately leave the mansion and take care of yourself."

With the concern and expectation of Bao Yi and Wang Yu, the two of them finally arrived at the front door of the Zhu Residence.

No matter how ordinary the Zhu Clan was, they were, after all, a large clan that resided in remote areas. The front gate of the mansion was only slightly wider than that of an ordinary clan.

However, when they entered the mansion, Su and Bao discovered that there was another world out there. The decorations inside the Zhu Residence were completely different from the simple and low profile outside the mansion, and it gave them a feeling of extravagance compared to the county magistrate.

It seemed that the rumored mother Zhu who lived in the neighborhood had a generous dowry, and what she said was true.

"Two officials." Zhu Chusheng changed into his traditional Chinese clothes and came forward to welcome him. His face that was bathed in his eyes revealed an almost transparent white color, as if he was terminally ill.

"The two of you have come to my humble abode. Since there is nothing for you to do, please send someone to sweep up two clean rooms and invite the two of you to stay."

When Su Mu heard this, he did not say anything. On the other hand, Bao Fu Sheng directly said, "The two of us will only stay for one night. There's no need to trouble ourselves. One room is enough."

"Could it be that you two sirs have been wronged?" Zhu Chusheng looked at the silent Su Mu.

On the way here, Bao Xuansheng and Su Mu had already discussed this matter and decided to investigate the crime scene together at night. As a result, they wouldn't rest for too long. To be able to resolve the case as soon as possible, Su Mu naturally wanted to see an increase in efficiency. Naturally, he agreed.

"One room will do." Su Mu looked straight at Zhu Chusheng.

Zhu Chusheng did not continue, he turned around and instructed an old woman behind him, "Mrs Liu, bring the two officials to settle down."

With that, he smiled and explained to Bao and Su, "Mrs Liu is deaf and can't speak. If you need anything, you can come directly to me."

Su Mu nodded in agreement. She turned around and followed behind Mrs Liu, who looked like she was about to escape. Bao Fu Cheng also took his leave and followed behind her.

As the two walked side by side, their gazes met on Mrs Liu in front of them at the same time.

Su Mu suddenly stopped. He turned around and said to Bao Fu Yun, "This killer should still be in the Zhu Residence." The sound wasn't loud, and it just happened to be loud enough for Mrs Liu to hear. Of course, the premise was that Mrs Liu had to be able to hear it.
