Chen Mu's words seemed to be covered with cold frost, which reduced the temperature in the hut by several degrees, and the atmosphere stagnated.

"Atonement?"

Deng Wensheng's deep eyes were extremely cold. "I don't know what Mr. Chen is talking about, but the officials don't understand."

Chen Mu said in a calm tone: "I saw your daughter in front of the government office. She asked me to help her return a doll, saying that if I don't return it, my father will scold her..."

Deng Wensheng listened quietly, with no expression on his face.

But the fist hidden in the sleeve was slightly clenched.

"So I told her that you were dead and were beaten to death by your own father. But she didn't believe it because the father she respected the most could not kill her..."

Chen Mu continued. "The little girl has been waiting there, waiting for her father to pick her up...waiting for the family to reunite."

Hearing this, Deng Wensheng said lightly: "Mr. Chen has something to say, there is no need to use this kind of childhood story to scare me. I will behave well all my life and sit upright, and will not be afraid of any evil things."

"Do you think your daughter is...an evil thing?"

Chen Mu smiled and mocked.

Deng Wensheng raised his chin and his bright eyes were full of firmness:

"Mr. Chen, are you planning to use this matter as an official's article? That official tells you that you can go and promote it, and I will never be afraid!"

After saying that, he lifted the curtain: "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry that I will send it to you soon!"

"Do you have no guilt for your daughter?"

Chen Mu asked every question. "Even if a six-year-old girl steals a small toy, you can use many ways to educate her, but why did she beat her to death!

You can educate people with morality when dealing with those robbers and thieves, but you can use such heavy hand to your daughter—”

"Enough!!"

Deng Wensheng's face was ashen, and his thin body was like a bamboo pole against the backdrop of his wide official uniform, but he stood straight.

He straightened his chest and said with a stern expression:

"As a prefect, I am a model for the people. My daughter steals other people's property because of her own greed. This is a crime.

When you were young, you were cheated by thieves, and when you grew up, you were even more amazing. This shows that you are naturally misconduct!

As the daughter of the prefect, she would be even more guilty of doing such a violation of morality and misfortune! If I do not punish her seriously, how can I feel ashamed of the emperor's kindness and how can I feel ashamed of the people?

If Mr. Chen thinks that he will make a fuss about me and threaten me, he may disappoint you. I have a clear conscience in this matter. Even if there are a hundred more times, I will still choose this way!"

Looking at the resolute expression on Deng Wensheng's face, Chen Mu shook his head and looked disappointed.

He picked up a few pieces of paper scattered on the ground, placed it neatly on the table, and asked lightly: "Lonely Shenyou had a good relationship with you back then."

Deng Wensheng frowned and said nothing.

"Later, that guy was driven out of the Destiny Valley for insulting his junior brother's wife and wandering around..."

Chen Mu smiled and said, "You are a person with such a bad character, but you are friends with him. Lord Deng is not good at knowing people."

"He is not my friend."

"Oh, are you planning to clear your relationship?" Chen Mu sarcastically.

Deng Wensheng said coldly: "I have frequent contact with him, but it is just a matter of official business. Private friendship does not exist. Mr. Chen can go and investigate it, and I will never stop him."

Chen Mu sneered: "There are no people now, how can I check it?

But then again, a beast who doesn't even let his junior brother's woman go is a lustful person, and is not as good as a beast with human face and beast heart.

Especially when I heard that Tianming Valley recruited many female disciples under ten years younger than ten years old.

So I have some doubts, when you beat your daughter to death, did you want to cover up some ugly things... For example, that old man..."

"Chen! Mu!"

At first, Deng Wensheng had not reacted, but when he heard the words behind him, he gradually came back to his senses and his expression suddenly became ugly.

Because of extreme anger, the blue veins on the forehead burst, jumping and jumping, which was particularly scary.

He rushed forward and grabbed the other person's collar, pushed it to the dusty wall, and said angrily: "Chen Mu, you can talk nonsense, but don't slander my daughter!"

"Or why would you beat her to death? It's just because of a toy?"

Chen Mu spread his hands. "I don't understand anyway."

Deng Wensheng's eyes were red and his whole body was trembling, like an angry lion.

He warned word by word: "Mr. Chen, if you want to investigate, you will go to investigate. If you want to find someone, you will go to find someone! But I warn you not to make a fuss about my daughter's reputation, otherwise... I will definitely not let you go!"

Seeing that Chen Mu was still sarcastic, Deng Wensheng said again: "What's more, I don't think Lonely Shenyou will do that."

"Why are you so sure?" Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.

Deng Wensheng hesitated for a moment and said lightly: "Because Mrs. Han and Gu Du Shenyou are lovers. When Gu Du Shenyou had an affair with another woman, Mrs. Han was angry and married Han Dongjiang."

Lovers!

This clue was unexpected by Chen Mu.

He stared at Deng Wensheng and asked, "Who told you? Why didn't others say it before? Don't they know?"

"Seldom people know about this, but they are indeed lovers."

Deng Wensheng's tone was cold. "I don't need to fool you here. If you don't believe it, you can go to Tianming Valley to find Mrs. Han's room, and you will definitely find something. And you can also-"

At this point, Deng Wensheng suddenly stopped talking, but looked at Chen Mu with a very cold look.

"What's wrong?" Chen Mu was puzzled.

Deng Wensheng smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Chen is a good method. It turns out that he is not looking for your wife when he comes to me, but is deliberately angering me, trying to get clues about loneliness and wandering from me."

Seeing that his trick was discovered, Chen Mu stopped refuting it and said with a smile: "That's right, if I asked directly, would you say it?"

"No." Deng Wensheng shook his head.

If the other party asks directly, he doesn't want to pay attention to it at all.

Chen Mu sat back on the chair and brewed a cup of tea on his own: "Tell me about the old man Tianji Han Dongjiang, what kind of person is he?"

However, Deng Wensheng was unwilling to talk to Chen Mu again at this time.

He sorted out his official uniform and said lightly: "I have some official duties to be busy with, so I won't compensate Mr. Chen. Since Mr. Chen is unwilling to leave, then continue to stay here and say goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hut.

Chen Mu didn't stop him. Feeling the heat coming from the porcelain, he sighed helplessly: "What an annoying guy."

Fortunately, I finally found some information from the other party, which was considered to be a reward.

Chen Mu took out a small notebook and recorded the clues and fell into deep thought:

"If Dugu Shenyou and Mrs. Han were lovers before, then there was no need for him to force and insult each other, but... they were very likely to commit adultery!"

The man's eyes lit up, and some doubts in his mind began to resolve doubts.

Maybe that night, Gu Du Shenyou was secretly committing adultery with Mrs. Han, and was mistakenly thought that Mrs. Han was forced.

This is also the reason why the 'physical evidence' is conclusive.

The reason why Lonely Shenyou admitted that he insulted the other party was because he wanted to bear the crime alone.

After all, the matter of ‘adultery’ is very disgraceful.

Once it is leaked, the woman's reputation will be even more severe, and she will be scolded by countless people, and the end result will either be in seclusion or commit suicide.

This will also make your junior brother look disgraceful.

After that, I went out to wander around and never told the truth, and this is also because of this reason.

But the last doubtful point is, why did Mrs. Han suddenly die that night?

Since they are committing adultery, there is no need to kill each other when they are lonely, but the woman is indeed dead in his arms.

Is it because someone secretly poisoned?

But with the cultivation of Lonely Shenyou, can't you notice it?

Besides, he was the last old man Tianji and was proficient in divination. He could not predict in advance that these things would happen?

These doubts are like tangled lumps of wool, perhaps only I can answer.

Of course, the clues provided by Deng Wensheng cannot be fully believed. After all, it is still necessary to find absolute evidence to prove that Mrs. Han and Dugu Shenyou are indeed lovers.

Chen Mu put away the notebook, took a sip of bitter tea, casually looked through some documents on the table, and left Deng Wensheng's house.

After walking through several alleys and using the "thing beyond the sky" to determine that no one was following him, Chen Mu disguised himself as a stranger again and sneaked into the place where Mangayaya was, intending to visit Su Qiaoer.

But when he entered the room, a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

The air was filled with a slight smell of blood.

There is no one in the house.

It can be seen that the broken tables and chairs have been fighting here.
