Chapter 202: The Shock at the Mu Mansion
Mrs. Mu's horrified voice was heard, and Mu Lianzhi leaned over and made a "hush" gesture to her, indicating that she was fine.
With one foot hooking over a chair to support the man's half-fallen body, Mu Lianzhi climbed up and caught the knife that the man was about to drop, and then hid in the gap formed by the column and the chair.
"What are you doing? Catch one quickly."
"Kill them."
"Hurry, it's too late."
When Beitang Yi and Si Chen brought their people in, they saw the fighting scene on the ground. They were both stunned and quickly went up to help.
"withdraw!"
A sharp whistle was heard, and the masked man began to walk towards the door.
"No matter if they are dead or alive, take them all down."
Beitang Yi gave an order and the fighting in the field became more and more intense. The two elders of the Mu family freed their hands and rushed to the side.
"Zhizhi, Nianqing, are you okay?"
When the two saw that the man was dead, and then saw Mu Lianzhi holding the child around her, with the little guy not even opening his eyes, Mrs. Mu couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
"Mom, we're fine. Dad, please check on him. He fell asleep on his own and didn't wake up even with all the noise."
Mu Lianzhi undressed and put her brother on her lap to make it easier for her father to check him. Looking up, she saw her mother first tear off the mask of the masked man, and then pulled the man's wrist. Then, she watched her take out a small bottle and smear something on the man's wrist. There seemed to be a mark on it that disappeared.
Before Mu Lianzhi could ask, she saw her mother running to another body in the room and doing the same thing again.
Soon, the fighting outside the house stopped.
In addition to those who were killed on the spot, the two captured alive also took poison. Beitang Yi brought people in to count and examine the bodies. Mu Lianzhi secretly took off her gloves and stuffed them back into her small bag before she stood up holding her brother:
"Dad, is my brother okay?"
"He's fine, he just fell asleep. The medicine I gave him before didn't work very well, but it worked at the critical moment. It can be considered a blessing in disguise."
As the two were talking, Beitang Yi came in after finishing his business:
"Zhizhi, how are you? Are you hurt?"
Beitang Yi was about to start, but when he looked down, he found that she was holding a child in her arms:
"here……"
"I'm fine, this is my brother Mu Nianqing."
At this time, Mrs. Mu also came back after packing up. The two elders exchanged glances, took the child and stepped aside to leave space for the two of them.
"Why are you here?"
After checking her hand up and down again and making sure she was not hurt, Beitang Yi heaved a sigh of relief:
"I was out doing some work with Si Chao, and I happened to see your maid at the door of the store. I knew you had gone home, so I thought I'd stop by to see you, but I didn't expect to hear that something happened when I got to the door."
"I never thought someone would dare to assassinate someone in the capital in broad daylight!"
"I'm really tired of living."
"Does your family have any enemies? Who would want to kill you?"
Having said that, Beitang Yi was actually quite puzzled. He had already instructed the government office to intensify training here and also sent his men to look after the surrounding area. This was originally just in case, but he didn't expect that something would really happen.
But, didn’t her parents just return to Beijing, and didn’t the matter of the Marquis’ Mansion have a conclusion?
These people are not like ordinary killers.
Not only Beitang Yi was puzzled, Mu Lianzhi was also puzzled, because she suddenly thought of the house in front of her parents and the one behind them that was connected, maybe it was not actually built to guard against her.
And the parents are obviously mentally prepared and have taken precautions in advance, so this matter is probably not simple.
"..."
Pursing her lips, she didn't respond. She glanced at her parents and younger brother from the corner of her eye. She tugged at Beitang Yi's sleeve:
"Can I ask you a favor?"
"Are you still being distant with me?"
Finally, Mu Lianzhi discussed taking over the house that Beitang Yi had bought next to the Marquis' Mansion and letting his parents move in.
On the one hand, the house was surrounded by dignitaries and guarded by Beitang Yi's men, so it was relatively safer. On the other hand, it was close to her and convenient for visiting, so her parents had a legitimate reason to live there. Furthermore, the house had two gates, both facing the street, so even if it was a neighbor to the Marquis' Mansion, it would not be an eyesore if it wanted to.
Beitang Yiben also wanted to find someone to take care of that house, and they hit it off immediately. He arranged to send his family over there first. The transfer was completed on the same day, and even the house number plate was removed.
……
After sending the person over, Beitang Yi did not dare to stay long and returned to the crime scene.
At this time, the government office had already sent people to control the situation. Si Chao had also been at the scene. There were a total of seven bodies. Without their masks, they were all dressed like ordinary people.
After walking around, Beitang Yi found many signs of fighting. When he returned to the corpses, he saw Si Chao covering the last corpse with white cloth, and his expression seemed more solemn.
"What did you find?"
"They look like ordinary people, but they are actually martial artists. I have asked the Ministry of Justice to verify their identities. There are a few suspicious points. I will tell you when I sort them out and go back."
Si Chao gave a look and Beitang Yi's heart skipped a beat. The tacit understanding between them made him feel that this matter might not be simple, so he nodded.
……
At this time, in the west wing of the Marquis' Mansion, Mu Lianzhi watched his parents checking the room, arranging and arranging the servants in an orderly manner. However, his mind seemed to be exploding with fireworks, and there was a big question mark on each firework. The more he watched, the more frightened he became.
Soon, Mu's mother arranged what each maid should do.
A servant had already gone to pick up Leng Yun, Chunmiao and Xia Xiu. The two little girls understood their mother's instructions almost instantly. It was obvious that they had been trained very early. Especially when Mu Lianzhi saw that her mother had written a prescription and asked Xia Xiu to get the medicine herself, she was completely shocked.
It seems that Xia Xiu is not only able to do accounting and read, but she should also know something about herbal medicine. However, for such a long time, she didn't realize it at all.
Chunmiao's mind is obviously much simpler, but she is quick and agile, and she doesn't even react when she shouldn't be asked. Precisely because of her roughness, she can invisibly cover up and mislead many truths. These two people together can definitely achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
Isn’t father just a retired imperial physician?
Why did every operation today make her feel like something was wrong?
After Mu's mother had arranged everything, she turned around and looked into Mu Lianzhi's eyes. At this moment, Mu's father also got up after giving acupuncture to his youngest son on the bed. The three of them looked at each other, and the room fell into a silent silence.
Then, Father Mu nodded, and Mother Mu asked Leng Yun, Leng Yu and Chun Miao to go out to guard the door, while she closed all the doors and windows.
"Zhizhi, you are surprised that mom and dad are on guard against this, right? There are some things that you should know."
As she spoke, Mu's mother walked to the basin at the side, took off the wide bracelet on her wrist, poured some medicine powder on it, dipped it in a handkerchief and applied it to her wrist for a while, then gently tore it off, revealing a red mark -
