Chapter 23: Third Sister Murong of the Xiao Family in the Capital

Murong Yuan was walking alone in the streets of the capital, thinking in his mind, if he sneaked into the Tianlao, how would he enter the ninth floor of the Tianlao to see Gu Santong?

Follow the path of right and wrong?

The ghost knows which cell Cheng Shifei was locked up in, and how does he know which cell has a secret passage (dog hole) that leads directly to the ninth floor of the prison.

That secret passage must have been left by Zhu Wuli on purpose to humiliate Gu Santong.

Murong's third sister's name is Murong Ying.

Murong Ying married the Xiao eldest son more than ten years ago and is now the head of the Xiao family.

Every time after the first day of the Lunar New Year, Murong Ying would take some of the Xiao family members back to the Murong family to visit Mrs. Murong and her younger sister and younger brother.

The Xiao Family Courtyard is located in the south of the capital, and there is a bustling street in front of the gate with a lot of people.

Listen to the street vendors chirping and listen to the customers’ persistent haggling.

Murong Yuan chuckled secretly in his heart, no matter what era, there was always haggling.

Murong Yuan came to the gate of the Xiao family. Murong Yuan, who had never been to the Xiao family, looked at the Xiao family residence.

In front of the gate of the Xiao family's residence, there is a pair of stone lions that ward off evil spirits. Next to the stone lions are two servants of the Xiao family guarding the gate. The decoration looks rich and noble, and the momentum is full of grandeur.

Let the people know at first glance that this family is untouchable.

Murong Yuan climbed up the stairs, but was stopped by the gate guard.

"Sir, what do you want from me?" The guard said in a respectful tone.

Murong Yuan was dressed in luxurious clothes and his temperament was very eye-catching. Anyone who was not blind could tell that Murong Yuan came from a wealthy family.

"I'm looking for Mrs. Xiao, just say that Murong Yuan from the Murong family in Shaanxi comes to visit!" Murong Yuan looked indifferent.

"Okay, sir, wait a moment, I'll report it right away!" The guard nodded, turned around and ran into the gate, disappearing around the corner of the corridor.

One quarter stick of incense time.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from the Xiao family's gate. The footsteps were light and fast. Murong Yuan judged from his ear skills that the person who came was a woman.

Sure enough, Murong Yuan met the third sister.

"Brother Yuan, why are you here?" Murong Ying's face was full of surprise, she ran to Murong Yuan and directly held Murong Yuan's hand.

"Third Sister, we haven't seen you for two years, Third Sister, you have become beautiful again!" Murong Yuan said calmly.

Murong Ying smiled even more when she heard this, and said, "I haven't seen you in two years, and you have grown so tall, huh? It's just not good to be cold-faced, so smile more!"

Murong Yuan chuckled, and then entered the Xiao family residence under the leadership of Murong Ying.



At noon.

A large round table was placed in the main hall of the Xiao family. The table was filled with delicacies from all over the world. There were many maids walking around, all of them holding plates filled with delicacies.

"Brother Yuan, brother-in-law, let me give you a toast! You have come all the way to the Xiao family, and the Xiao family is really in a state of glory!" The head of the Xiao family stood up, holding a wine glass in his hand, and the aroma of the wine in the glass filled the main hall.

"Brother-in-law, you're welcome!" Murong Yuan smiled and nodded. After drinking a glass of wine, he greeted the head of the Xiao family: "Brother-in-law, Brother Yuan is here for the first time. I hope you will take good care of me!"

"Haha, it's easy to talk!" The head of the Xiao family smiled cheerfully: "Brother Yuan, don't worry, brother-in-law, I will worship you as the emperor! You can do whatever you want, and brother-in-law will support you strongly!"

Many direct relatives of the Xiao family raised glasses to celebrate Murong Yuan's arrival.

Then everyone started discussing it.

Some are in the world of martial arts, and some are currently in court.

After a hearty meal, Murong Yuan and Third Sister Murong walked on the corridor above the pond in Xiao's backyard, talking as they walked.

Murong Yuan asked how the third sister's life was in the Xiao family? What was his brother-in-law's personality like? How did the relatives treat the third sister?

What Third Sister Murong asked was how was the life of Mrs. Murong and Murong Jiu? And was there any news about father Murong Yi recently?

Talking about his father Murong Yi.

Murong Yuan's expression was sluggish, and he sighed and shook his head.

When Murong Ying saw this, her expression was gloomy, her tone was low, and she sighed: "Hey, where has dad gone? It's been six years and there's no news."

Although the Murong family is searching, it has been six years, and everyone except Murong Yuan almost thinks that Murong Yi must have passed away in a mysterious place inaccessible to people.

After hearing this, Murong Yuan said: "Third Sister, actually I am here today and I want to ask Third Sister for help with something!"

"My brother, why are you so polite? You're a stranger, tell me! What is it?" Murong Ying said with a chuckle.

Later, Murong Yuan revealed his purpose, which shocked Murong Ying.

"Brother Yuan, are you going to sneak into the East Factory and enter the prison?" Murong Ying covered her mouth and almost exclaimed.

"I just want to go to Tianlao to meet someone!" Murong Yuan said.

When they went to see Gu San Tong, they didn't want to tell Yu Murong Ying. The less they knew about Gu San Tong, the better.

"Who is he? If you don't tell me, my sister won't help you!" Murong Yuan looked sideways at Murong Yuan, and said with a flick of his graceful face.

Murong Yuan was speechless when he saw this. After hesitating again and again, he said: "Ancient three links!"

"Ancient three links?" Murong Ying said in surprise.

At that time, Zhu Wuyi's "capture" of Gu Santong in Tianchi was a secret. Except for him, who was an insider of the plot, basically no one else knew about it.

Murong Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, the ancient three links are in Dongchang Tianlao!"

"Six years ago, there was a rumor among the top officials in the capital that Hou Zhuwu, the brave god, had arrested the Jianghu demon Gu Santong. Unexpectedly... Gu Santong would be imprisoned in the Dongchang Heavenly Prison!" Murong Ying said in a surprised tone: "I still have it.

I thought it was executed in an unknown place!"

"Huh?" Murong Yuan asked, "Third sister, how do you know it was Zhu Wuli who arrested you?!"

Murong Ying said: "The Xiao family is stationed in the capital all the year round and has some connections, especially with Dongchang. Your brother-in-law once said that Dongchang imprisoned a felon six years ago, but the identity of the felon is unknown.

I know, it seems to be very confidential."

"According to what Brother Yuan said, it seems that the criminal who made the people in the capital retreat was probably the undefeated naughty boy Gu Santong!"

"I see!"

Murong Yuan narrowed his eyes and nodded, thinking to himself: It seems that he has fallen into a premonition of good things.

Murong Yuan really didn't expect that most of the high-ranking people in the capital knew that Gu Santong was secretly captured by Zhu Wuli and was secretly imprisoned on the ninth floor of the prison.

The Jianghu is alive, and the people in the Jianghu are not dead. Changes occur day and night.

Murong Yuan asked: "Then Third Sister, is there any way for me to sneak into the prison?"

"Brother Yuan, tell me first, why are you looking for Gu Santong?" Murong Ying looked at her brother with concern and said softly.

When Murong Yuan saw Murong Ying asking questions, his expression condensed, and then he sighed in his heart.

Sure enough.

Murong Yuan is the "lifeblood" of the Murong family. Most of the people in the Murong family care about him very much, not to mention the third sister Murong Ying who is related by blood.

Look at Murong Ying's eyes.

The meaning is very simple!

If you don't explain clearly, I won't help you!

Murong Yuan didn't know what to do for a while.

It seems that I can only tell the truth.

"At that time, the third sister also knew that my father admired Gu Santong very much, but it was not until Gu Santong became a public enemy that my father mysteriously disappeared the next day. In the past six years, I have been wondering whether my father's disappearance was related to Gu Santong.

Relationship!" Murong Yuan said.

Murong Yuan had reservations, and he also felt that Murong Yi's disappearance was also related to Tietan Shenhou.

But it was better for him to say less about things that Zhu ignored.

The more the Xiao family knows, the greater the danger to the Xiao family in the capital.
