Chapter 38 Revisiting Mo's House
Soon, a group of Mo family disciples came to the street. They put the dead bodies on a stretcher and carried them away without asking the reason. Obviously they heard the sound of the wind.
The people around were still talking, and the four of them had no intention of listening, and quietly followed the footsteps of the disciples of the Mo family.
The four of them saw them lifting their bearded man into a wild mountain from a distance, and found a clearing area and dug a hole, throwing him in and burying him. They were shockingly fast, and then the few people left quickly.
Jiang Yu quietly walked behind them, covered the mouth of the last person, and dragged him into the back of the bushes. They left in a panic and did not find that there was one missing.
After they walked away, Jiang Yu let go of him. He immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Several immortals, let me go! I don't know anything."
Ji Nuan took the lead and asked: "Who are you and who asked you to come."
The man replied tremblingly: "My name is Mo Xing. It was the sect leader who asked me to come. He is from the Mo Mansion. We are just here to deal with his funeral."
Tang Siyan said disdainfully: "Hmph, just dig a hole and bury it in this way, it is called dealing with the funeral?"
"This, he is just a low-class disciple. He is worthy of burying him for no relatives or reasons." Mo Xing's eyes flashed but he was still striking, obviously he was very cunning.
Jiang Yu asked, "Who is the sect leader you just mentioned? Isn't Mo Yun dead?"
"It's Mo Feng, Sect Master Mo."
Ji Nuan couldn't imagine who they were still squatting about last night. Today he was already the sect leader. Mo Feng seemed not simple.
"Well…"
Before Ji Nuan could ask again, Mo Xing suddenly let out a scream and fell to the ground. A poisonous arrow was inserted in his back and he died on the spot.
Yu Man and Jiang Yu immediately chased after him, while Ji Nuan squatted down and looked into his breath. After confirming that he was exhausted, he stood up and said angrily: "Who are you?"
Tang Siyan felt that Qinzhou was still very dangerous, and immediately thought of leaving. He pulled Ji Nuan's wrist and begged: "Good Ji Nuan, let's not worry. Let's go to Yueyang, or go back to Muxi."
Ji Nuan shook his hand away and said firmly: "I won't leave, I will never let the real murderer get away with it."
At this time, Yu Man and Jiang Yu ran back, and the two shook their heads one after another. When they chased them out, the other party had long disappeared.
Tang Siyan asked helplessly: "Then where are we going now?"
Ji Nuan glanced at Mo Xing on the ground and said, "Go to Mo's Mansion." After saying that, he turned around and walked to the front, and Yu Man and Jiang Yu followed.
Only Tang Siyan was left at the end and shouted: "Ah? You're going to Mo's mansion, hey, wait for me!"
He looked around again, feeling horrible and weird, and immediately ran up and pulled Jiang Yu's arm and said, "Jiang Yu, you said you would protect me, you must do it."
Jiang Yu said "um" and stopped talking. He was so timid and afraid of things, but he was much easier than Tang Siyan, who was merciless before.
Several people came to the Mo Mansion again, and saw that the Mo Mansion had lost its previous lifelessness, and everything was arranged properly by Mo Feng. In terms of ability, he was indeed the best choice for the sect leader.
When the servants at the door saw them coming again, they were obviously surprised and said: "Have you ever paid your condolences? Why..."
"We have something to ask your sect leader." After Ji Nuan finished speaking, she took a few people straight in without waiting for his answer.
Mo An immediately came up and saluted respectfully, "Why did Miss Ji come?"
When Ji Nuan saw the familiar person in front of her, she instantly remembered the snowy day again. The young master was playing alone in the pavilion.
Suddenly, he responded cordially: "I have something to ask Mo Feng, can you take me there?"
Mo An always smiled and replied as if he was pleased: "Of course, please, Miss Ji."
A few people led him to the meeting hall, the place where the Mo family members quarreled last night. At this time, Mo Feng was sitting upright at the top of the hall, holding a book in his hand, watching it attentively, and frowned from time to time.
Mo An bowed and said, "Sect Master, Miss Ji is visiting." Mo Feng then looked up, waved his hand, and he immediately bowed and retreated.
Ji Nuan took the lead and said, "Ji Nuan and her senior brother, the senior sister comes uninvited. I hope Sect Master Mo forgives me." She deliberately said the three words "Sect Master Mo".
A trace of cunning flashed across Mo Feng's eyes, and he immediately stood up and smiled: "Immortal Masters, please sit down quickly. Miss Ji can come. Mo Feng was flattered. But the incident happened suddenly. Mo Feng was ordered in danger, and he was forced to do so."
He made a seat in a position of asking for a seat, and his attitude was humble and polite. Several people returned the gift and sat down, and immediately a maid served new tea. If Ji Nuan hadn't heard his quarrel with the Mo family last night, he would have really believed him.
Ji Nuan then asked, "Does Sect Master Mo know that another monk was dug out of his heart today and his corpse was on the street?"
"Yes, I have heard about it earlier, but now it is the time when the Mo family is in the mourning, Mo Feng is unable to do anything. In order not to cause panic among the people, he can only order his disciples to deal with it in a low-key manner." Mo Feng's answer was reasonable and seemed to be really considering the people.
Jiang Yu continued to ask, "Sect Master Mo, can you know that one of the disciples who ordered you to bury the corpse was shot to death by a poisonous arrow."
Mo Feng said in surprise: "What, why is this?"
"We caught a few of them burying the body, so we pulled someone to find out the situation, but we didn't expect that he would die on the spot. It was Jiang Yu who was abrupt." After saying that, Jiang Yu bowed to apologize.
"Who is this enemy of our Mo family? Our Mo family is in charge of Qinzhou. Although I dare not say how much dedication I have made, I have never offended others. Why are they so cruel?" Mo Feng asked while shook his head, looking sad.
Ji Nuan kept paying attention to his actions, but did not find anything wrong. Suddenly remembered the matter of Jiaqing, and then asked: "Does Sect Master Mo know a scholar named Jiaqing? We had the chance to meet him when we first arrived in Qinzhou?"
Mo Feng turned his back to everyone, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, then turned around and said with a smile: "My family is all vulgar practitioners, so how can I know any scholars? But if Miss Ji wants to find him, Mo Feng will do his best to help."
Ji Nuan knew that he was lying, but he couldn't expose it directly. After thinking about it, he replied with a smile: "Thank you, Master Mo. I'm looking for him because I saw him having dinner and chatting with your disciples who died in Mo's house today. He looked very familiar. He thought that he might know who killed the monk. In this way, there seems to be another person, I wonder if Master Mo can know him?"
"Who?"
"A small man with very small eyes, but he is very clever. I remember he called the big bearded man the eldest brother. I think he should be a disciple of the Mo family, right?"
Mo Feng seemed to suddenly remember someone, and suddenly realized, "I wonder if the person Miss Ji said is Mo Jin? If you want me to let him come over, you can take a look." Then he immediately shouted, "Come here."
A disciple hurriedly ran in and saluted: "Sect Master",
Mo Feng ordered, "Call Mo Jin in, Miss Ji has something to ask." The visitor stepped out and said goodbye.
Ji Nuan immediately stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Sect Master Mo."
Mo Feng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Miss Ji, you have to be polite, this is what I should do.
What should be done, and this matter is related to the comfort of the Mo family. I have thanked several immortal masters on behalf of the Mo family." After Mo Feng said that, he bowed deeply to them.
Jiang Yu waved his hand quickly and said, "You are polite to Master Mo. This is our duty."
Yu Man never said a word because he had fought with him before. At this time, he was particularly disgusted with their vain rituals and his eyes were full of disdain.
Tang Siyan wanted to speak, but he couldn't get what they said, so he could only cross his legs and kept playing with the tea cup in his hand.
After a while, Mo Jin hurried in and immediately saluted when he saw Mo Feng, "Sect Master, I wonder why the Sect Master is looking for Mo Jin?"
Mo Feng replied, "It's Miss Ji who has something to come to you."
Ji Nuan looked closely and was sure that he was the little man he saw that day. He immediately asked, "Do you still know me?"
Mo Jin turned around and seemed a little panicked when he saw Ji Nuan, and quickly responded: "I know, the girl is the Immortal Master Muxi, we have met in the inn."
"You are obviously a disciple of the Mo family, why do you deliberately mention the Mo family in front of us and make trouble?" Ji Nuan stared at him with sharp eyes, and he looked at Mo Feng in a panic.
Mo Feng immediately said angrily: "You tell her the truth about what Miss Ji asks you."
Mo Jin immediately knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "The Sect Master forgives the crime, Miss Ji forgives the crime. My elder brother and I have long been disgusted with Mo Yun's actions. As the Sect Master of the Mo family, he ignored the disappearance of the monks. We deliberately mentioned it in front of outsiders to make him alert and manage the Mo family well. But I didn't expect that I met the Immortal Master Muxi, and even more unexpected that Mo Yun was related to this matter. We killed him, wuwu..."
After Mo Jin said that, he started crying. Mo Feng suddenly kicked him in the chest. He fell to the ground without any precaution. Mo Feng roared angrily: "Silly, how can you do this? Doing this will place me in the reputation of the Mo family."
Ji Nuan looked at all this coldly, and she didn't believe it would be so coincidental. Mo Jin was spreading rumors outside and happened to meet Muxi disciples. Besides, there was a family minister who clearly heard that he was called Brother Mo Feng, but Mo Feng lied that he didn't know him.
She immediately comforted her: "Sect Master Mo, don't be angry. He is also doing his best for the Mo family. He just backfired and wronged Mo Yun."
Then he asked Mo Jin: "Do you know that your elder brother died tragically on the street this morning. His death was the same as the cultivator who had disappeared before. He was dug out of his heart and died. Obviously, Mo Yun and Xiangling are not the real murderer. I am worried that their next target will be you or the family minister."
Before Mo Jin could get up from the ground, he immediately cried bitterly when he heard the news of his elder brother's death: "Wuwu...Brother". After crying for a while, he cried and climbed to Mo Feng again, holding his calves with both hands, and cried while saying, "Wuwuwu...The Sect Master saved me, Mo Jin doesn't want to die..."
Mo Feng kicked him away and roared, "Hmph, I'll take it upon myself."
Mo Jin immediately rolled to the ground, then cried and cried to Ji Nuan's feet, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged, "Miss Ji save me, I don't want to die, Miss Ji, woo..."
Seeing this, Ji Nuan immediately pulled him up and comforted him: "You don't have to worry too much. I'm just guessing. Now tell me who is the one of my parents?"
Mo Jin looked at Mo Feng again when he heard this, and Mo Feng kept glaring. He then faced Ji Nuan and replied, "I'm not familiar with him, I just talked and had a meal together."
Ji Nuan replied, "Is that so? Then I can do nothing, you can do it." Then he nodded to the other three, and the three of them stood up with understanding.
