There were still six days before Maku was sent to the execution platform to be beheaded.
In a dim alchemy room, two people sat opposite each other. The table was covered with various precious elixirs and four or five boxes of gold and silver jewelry. Water was boiling next to them, and the boiling hot water was constantly hitting the lid of the pot. But neither of them touched the pot of hot water. They looked at the empty teacups in front of them and couldn't help but sigh. They were worrying about how to drink tea.
"Master Meng, if you do this, what should I do? Now, not only everyone in Xiwan Town knows about that scene, it is estimated that more than half of the people in the entire Dayuan Dynasty know about it."
"Boss Tu, please be patient. Let me think of a solution. In short, Boss Tu will definitely be able to see with his own eyes the execution platform where Mu died."
Looking at Tu Lumin and Meng Zulun sitting opposite each other, Licorice Hall and Ye Qingquan's group probably never thought that the two of them were in a cooperative relationship. Moreover, Mu Xiannian's case was not punishable by death, but this tourist Tu just couldn't stand Mu Xiannian and insisted on killing Mu Xiannian.
However, Ye Qingquan of Xiwan Town is an old guy who has not changed from the past. He does not know how to keep pace with the times, is worldly, and does not accept any courtesy. For Tu Lvmin, as long as you are a human being, there will always be things you are greedy for, be it beauty, power, or wealth. I am not afraid that you will be greedy, but I am afraid that you are not greedy at all. And Ye Qingquan is such a person.
Officials from Xiwan Town could not get involved. Officials from other towns were basically at the same level as Ye Qingquan. Even if they were one or two levels higher than Ye Qingquan, they could not interfere in other towns' cases at will. So Tu Lumin used his identity to ask court officials to handle the matter.
And this court official was none other than Meng Zulun.
The changes in the past two days are indeed a bit big, because Su Bao Bao has been promoting the good deeds Mu had done in Xiwan Town in the past few days, ranging from free medical treatment and medicine to helping others take care of their children. All the deeds have been verified by the people one by one. Ye Qingquan is even more afraid that the people will deliberately fan the flames and praise these deeds in order to reveal the past. So he personally led his troops to verify one by one. After the verification, Ye Qingquan also looked guilty. He felt guilty that he did not believe the words of the people, and he felt guilty that he did not believe that Mu could do so many good things for the people of Xiwan Town in the past.
Therefore, Ye Qingquan decided that in order to make up for his mistakes, he decided to let several doctors from Licorice Hall do things for the common people for free like Mu Mu did in the past.
Meng Zulun regretted what he had just said, because for him, being executed now would undoubtedly mean picking a hornet's nest from a tree and causing trouble on his own. It would be better to take a step back and discuss other solutions with Tu Traveler. .
Meng Zulun took the initiative to pick up the pot of boiling hot water, wash a cup and make tea for Tu Traveler. He smiled and said: "Boss Tu, in fact, this case last year didn't affect you much, right? The most critical Yaotou is dead, Yaotou's family is also dead, and the group of people who beat Yaotou to death are even more dead. . Why don’t Boss Tu think about it, if Mu didn’t impose the death penalty in the past, let him spend the rest of his life in prison.”
If he had known earlier that this case was so troublesome and involved several immortal sects, Meng Zulun should not have been greedy for the small fortune of the tourists, and now he was in a dilemma. Although Meng Zulun can indeed break things off, and his death was not a problem in the past, but it is troublesome when it involves the Licorice Hall and the Blood Scorpion Hall.
For him, reputation is more important than money. If the money is gone, he can still make it again. But once his reputation becomes bad, not only will he offend the Licorice Hall and the Blood Scorpion Hall at the same time, but the emperor will also find someone to investigate him. Accidentally, that would be a matter of killing the Nine Clans. If your life is gone, why do you need money?
When Tu Brigitte heard what Meng Zulun said, he stood up and slowly put away the gold and silver jewelry on the table, and said with a smile: "That's okay, just follow what Master Meng did. These things were originally prepared for Meng Zulun." Your Majesty’s finishing touches, it seems, are no longer needed now.”
Meng Zulun looked at boxes after boxes of jewels. The elixirs were put away by Tu Traveler and the boxes were closed. His heart was bleeding. He was hesitating. The gold and silver treasures did not make him reluctant to part with them. The key was those miraculous elixirs. , he couldn’t bear it. Is it better to offend Tu Traveler or Licorice Hall?
This damn Mu Xiannian, this damn Ye Qingquan, this damn Licorice Hall, all of them are making things difficult for me, making things more and more complicated.
Just when Tu Travelin was about to close the last box, Meng Zulun made his decision. He stood up and stopped Tu Travelin. Then he reopened the other boxes with a smile and said: "Boss Tu, where is this guy?" There are people who have trouble with money. Now that Boss Tu has figured out how to help me finish it off, I can’t let Boss Tu down. All in all, this matter is on my shoulders, and I will definitely make you happy I saw with my own eyes that Mu died on that execution platform a year ago."
Tu Brigitte smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Then I would like to thank Master Meng in advance. I have also prepared a small bag here, which can just contain everything here. I will help Master Meng put it away first." After that, He took out a storage bag, opened the bag, put all the gold, silver, jewelry and elixirs on the table, and handed them to Meng Zulun.
Meng Zulun took the kit and left with a smile, leaving Tu Traveler to wait. After Meng Zulun left for a long time, the smile on Tu Lvmin's face disappeared in an instant. He roared ferociously, kicked over the table, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said: "Meng Zulun, Meng Zulun, if Six Days Behind the Scenes had not died in the past, If so, you are the one who deserves to die."
——
The next day, there were still five days before Maku was sent to the execution platform to be beheaded.
Chen Zhishan was still sitting on the second floor of the inn, watching more and more favorable news about Mu Xiang. Chen Zhishan happily picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. There are still five days left, and Fan Xiaoxi and the others can come back today to provide free medical treatment for the people. Meng Zulun was right. Using free clinics to win the favor of the people was indeed beneficial to the past.
But free clinics also depend on the person. Important people will definitely know to use this matter to do other things. Yes, that person is Fan Xiaoxi, who is particularly good at talking. The other thing he did was to say good things to Chen Hongjing. While getting a good impression, you can slowly start the conversation and involve similar topics but different people.
After experiencing what happened in the past year, the people will naturally think more about it. Even if they don't think about it more, Fan Xiaoxi will guide them to think in that direction. This is the most exciting part of Chen Zhishan's plan. It can not only help Mu Mu change the trend in the past year, but also lay the foundation for Chen Hongjing's goodwill.
But at this time, Chen Zhishan frowned. She believed that Meng Zulun would not just watch and do nothing, and would definitely have a hand in reserve. Chen Zhishan was afraid that Meng Zulun would not listen to the opinions of the people, so he decisively sent Mu Xiannian to the execution platform. When the time comes, not to mention Mu couldn't be saved in the past, maybe Meng Zulun will also insist on sending Chen Hongjing to the execution platform.
Chen Zhishan would not believe it even to death that he came to Xiwan Town just to deal with this case from the past. A third-grade official came to such a remote Xiwan Town just to try a case? There is no one behind it, not even ghosts believe it.
Chen Zhishan looked downstairs, where Xu Huixin and Gan Muyu were treating patients for free, and smiled. If Meng Zulun really did what she thought, then she would have to use that trick.
——
In the prison, Captain Hou was walking in front, followed by Chen Hongjing. Because there are more and more favorable news about Makusha Nian in the past few days, although he can't be transferred out of his cell yet, he can still see people. So Ye Qingquan asked Chen Hongjing if he wanted to see him in the past.
Chen Hongjing naturally agreed. Maybe he wanted Chen Hongjing and Mu Xinnian to talk more about helping people, or maybe he really wanted Chen Hongjing and Mu Xinnian to be alone.
"Okay, this is it. You guys can chat slowly. This time, like last time, I will take a few steps away. As for whether you open the barrier or not, it's your business. Again, no matter whether you open the barrier or not World, as long as you do something beyond chatting, our government will naturally find out." After that, Detective Hou turned around and left.
"For what happened a few days ago, and what happened today, I'd like to thank you, the policeman, for hurrying up."
Detective Hou turned to look at Chen Hongjing and saw the child clasping his hands in fists. The handcuffs on his hands made him feel pity for his fist-clasping behavior, so he turned around and said to him: "You're welcome, it's my duty. Besides, The case between you and Mu in the past is indeed very regrettable. We were obviously trying to save people, but we didn’t expect this result."
"Just try your best. I believe in my teacher and Master Ye."
Captain Hou nodded: "Yes, you have such an idea at such a young age, I didn't expect it. Brother Chen, you are worthy of my respect."
Chen Hongjing, who was holding his fists in front of Captain Hou, could only bend down and bow slightly.
Chen Hongjing entered the prison where Mu Xiannian was imprisoned alone. At this time, Mu Xiannian was facing away from him, Mu Yu looked at the sunlight coming through the window.
"You're here, kid." Mu Xiannian said. In Chen Hongjing's voice of the past, there was no despair, but instead he gave up all freedom.
"Maku-senpai, why did you lie to me."
Mu Xiannian stood up, turned around slowly, and said with a kind smile: "Let's see how you are doing with your Xingxia Justice Fist training?"
Chen Hongjing saw that Mu Xiannian didn't want to answer him, so he had no choice but to follow his instructions and show Mu Xininian a set of Xingxia Justice Boxing. After finishing the fight, he asked the question again: "Senior Mu, In fact, no matter what the outcome is, you don’t have to lie to me.”
Mu Xiashi still didn't answer Chen Hongjing, but smiled and asked Chen Hongjing to watch him hit him again. After saying that, Mu Xiannian began to fight the Xingxia Justice Fist. Each punch and palm struck very slowly. After beating him once, before Chen Hongjing could speak for the third time, Mu Xiannian hit him again.
Chen Hongjing knew it. Since Senior Mu didn't want to talk about it, then he shouldn't talk about it. Chen Hongjing didn't ask any more questions, just watching Mu Xingxing's fist of justice over and over again.
Every time Mu Mu hit him in the past, there was an afterimage, and every palm he swung out was as graceful as a giant. Every punch thrown out is like a dragon swimming across the river. In his body, Chen Hongjing seemed to see Mu used this set of fists to fight for justice and defeat the strong and help the weak when he was fighting in the world.
A poem appeared in Chen Hongjing's mind to describe Mu's Xingxia Justice Fist in the past.
The hands are as if they are frightened and the dragon keeps dancing, and the heart is as if a dragon is wandering and thinking.
After beating it dozens of times, Mu Xiannian was willing to stop and asked with a smile: "Did you see everything clearly?"
Chen Hongkong nodded: "I will keep it all in mind."
Mu Xiannian nodded happily, sat down, and patted the seat next to him, signaling Chen Hongjing to sit down as well.
"My child, no matter what the outcome is, it should not affect your mood. Because there is no way to know what will happen in the future. I was still scolded a few days ago, but now my reputation has improved a lot. However, we can meet What will happen next second? No way."
Mu Xiannian looked at Chen Hongjing, patted his shoulder and continued: "Just like what you told Captain Hou just now, we believe in our friends. We do our best and obey fate. Do you understand?"
Chen Hongkong nodded and did not answer.
——
On the third day, there were still four days before Maku was sent to the execution platform to be beheaded. However, today's news is still the same as last year, but it is not good news, but bad news.
"I thought Mu was really that good in the past, but I didn't expect it was all just for show."
"Let me just say, there is nothing that good. The newspaper must have received money from the past years to publicize his good qualities. How can a person only have good sides and no bad sides?"
"That is to say, the case will not be concluded in the future, and I don't think we can just stand aside. Oh, it's really unlucky."
Chen Zhishan was still sitting in the same position on the second floor. Watching the people below constantly discussing the past events, she couldn't help but smile. Human nature is more fragile than imagined.
