Chapter 178: Actor-level characters! (7,000 words)(3/4)
Xu Youxin, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites who experienced the tragic death of his son and his wife was poisoned, looked much haggard, and he looked dull after seeing Chen Mu.
"Mr. Xu, it is also said that the young master will be buried the next day."
Chen Mu asked with his fists.
Xu Youxin nodded slightly: "That's right."
"In addition, I also learned that the coffin of Mr. Ling had been nailed to death."
"Well, is there any problem?"
Xu Youxin looked at Chen Mu and did not hide his thoughts. "After all, he was almost made into a living puppet, and I was afraid of accidents."
"Understand, understand..."
Chen Mu nodded with a smile.
After waiting for the servants to serve tea, Xu Youxin asked, "Mr. Chen came to my house and probably found the antidote to save my wife."
Chen Mu did not answer, but asked, "Mr. Xu, I have one thing I want to ask you?"
"explain."
"I heard that your relationship with your wife has broken down because you married a concubine, the top girl in Xinghuayuan. Since then, I have never had sex with my original wife. I want to know that concubine..."
"Bang!"
The tea cup fell heavily on the table, splashing a lot of tea on the table.
Xu Youxin's eyes were too long and stared at Chen Mu coldly: "Mr. Chen, can these you asked help my wife to relieve the poison?"
"Does the adult really care about your wife? Have you really cared about her?"
Chen Mu looked at each other without fear.
The cold chill came, and Xu Youxin pinched the armrest with his five fingers, and a very light and thin sound of Titicacia came from the chair.
After a moment, the chill on his body dissipated and he said lightly: "My wife has been in the room these days. I originally asked her to come out to relax, but because of Wu Qing's death, she refused to forgive me, so she never wanted to see me."
The implication is that after she was poisoned, I still want to understand her.
I'm not a scumbag who is tired of the new and old.
A smile flashed across Chen Mu's lips: "The old official doesn't care about the personal affairs of the lord. Today, the old official came to open the coffin of Mr. Ling and then take a look."
"no!"
Xu Youxin refused. "The ritual has been completed, how can we open the nailed coffin again? It's just a mess!"
Chen Mu stood up and clasped his fists: "Sir, this matter is extremely important. I must verify the body of Mr. Ling. If there is any error, I am afraid... I will have more trouble for me."
Listening to Chen Mu's half-comfortable words, Xu Youxin narrowed his eyes.
He has heard of Chen Mu's abilities.
Since he said there was trouble, it means that the trouble might be very big.
Xu Youxin tapped the water-dipped desktop with her fingers. After struggling for a long time, she finally agreed to the other party’s request: “Okay, then open it and let you take a look.”
"By the way, please call out all your family."
Chen Mu smiled.
Xu Youxin glanced at him deeply and signaled the maid to call someone.
Soon, everyone came to the mourning hall.
Mrs. Xu, who had been detained for several days due to poisoning, looked extremely haggard, her eyes were swollen, her face was pale, and she was extremely exhausted.
When I was helped by the maid, I staggered when I walked.
Seeing the coffin in front of the mourning hall, she wailed and pounced on the mourning hall, crying into tears, making people sigh.
The pain of losing a son is like a heart-wrenching.
Chen Mu looked at her wrist and the spider mark still existed.
Lord Xu looked at his crying wife with a blank expression on his face.
Next to Lord Xu is his very favorite concubine.
Her skin is as snowy as she looks small and charming, with a face that looks like a palm, a delicate body as weak as a willow, and her eyes are watery.
After seeing it, I wish I could hold it in my arms and feel pity for me.
It is worthy of being the top brand of Xinghuayuan.
Moreover, according to the information, this woman named Hu Yuaner had a conflict with Anlian.
There is even gossip -
The burn of Yinlian was caused by her secretly causing damage.
"Hello, madam."
Chen Mu took the initiative to go forward and salute.
After seeing the handsome Chen Mu, Hu Yuan'er's beautiful eyes suddenly brightened, and her seductive eyes were filled with inexplicable meaning.
"Hello, Lord Chen."
Hu Yuaner's voice is soft and pleasant.
Chen Mu sighed: "It is difficult to go out for a walk in this house in Xu Mansion on weekdays. If your wife doesn't dislike you, I will ask my inner person to take you to the suburbs to relax."
wife?
Hu Yuan'er looked at Yun Zhiyue next to her.
The eyes fell on the other person's face, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, but when his eyes moved to the other person's extremely perfect figure with a golden ratio, he felt another wave of jealousy.
She smiled sweetly: "Okay."
Looking at the concubine who was talking to Chen Mu, Xu Youxin frowned and ordered the four guards: "What are you still standing there? Open the coffin!"
The four guards quickly took out their tools and began to pry the lid of the coffin.
About twenty minutes later, the black coffin lid was finally pried up.
Xu Youxin walked to the coffin, looked at his sleeping son inside, and looked sad, turned his head and said coldly to Chen Mu, "Is there any other test needed?"
"It's a bit strange, there are no corpse spots."
Chen Mu looked surprised and turned his head to Yun Zhiyue who was following him. "Madam, please see if you are normal."
Yun Zhiyue glared at him and checked carefully.
Just a few seconds later, her phoenix eyes condensed, and she squeezed out a magic trick, and suddenly pressed it against Xu Wuqing's eyebrows.
Buzz —
A touch of pink mist dissipated.
Then, Xu Youxin and the others who were surrounding him looked at the corpse in the coffin and were completely stunned and dared not look like their own eyes.
Because in the coffin, except for the intact head, there is only a skeleton left in the other body.
It's like removing all the meat on it.
"This...this...this...this is going on."
Xu Youxin suddenly looked at Yun Zhiyue and pointed at her. "What did you do!!"
Yun Zhiyue said expressionlessly: "I just broke through the low-level tricks. This corpse was like this, but it was tampered with someone."
Had someone tampered with it?
Xu Youxin was stunned, and a little bit of chilled up on his back.
In other words, some people secretly gave his son's body to...
Chen Mu touched Xu Wuqing's head, it was very cold, and a curve appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It turns out that there are ice silkworms, it seems that I guess right."
"Wu Qing!!"
Looking at his son who turned into bones, Mrs. Xu's eyes turned black and she almost fainted on the spot. In grief, she vomited a mouthful of red blood.
She lay on the coffin and cried bitterly: "Why is this happening? Wu Qing...my son..."
Hu Yuaner's face turned pale and she took several steps back.
Seeing Chen Mu's eyes popping, he barely squeezed out a smile, but felt it was not suitable, so he quickly looked very sad.
Chen Mu smiled slightly: "Sir, don't you understand now? Your son has been taken advantage of."
Xu Youxin stared at Chen Mu without saying anything.
Chen Mu said: "Someone secretly turned your son into a big tonic, like practicing it into a living puppet, and perhaps other purposes.
But unexpectedly, another wave of people also set their sights on your son.
And this is the fox demon!”
Fox demon!?
