Chapter 337 The Death of the Patriarch (2/2)



Is it true that when you can no longer hear this inner voice, that's when your family will leave?

When faced with uncertainties, people tend to have uncontrollable wild thoughts, and the more they try to restrain themselves, the more these thoughts run rampant.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Yun'an looked down at his younger sister, reached out and grasped the little one's wrist; it was cold.

His sudden words drew the attention of Bai Yunqi and Bai Yunxing to Juanjuan.

I noticed that Juanjuan's complexion wasn't very good.

Juanjuan shook her head.

Bai Yun'an, however, thought that Juanjuan had seen Mu Shisan, and then remembered the things she had been struggling with in the courtyard earlier.

"Bai Yunshu, let me tell you, you don't need to underestimate yourself. There are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Just be yourself."

Juanjuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, her third brother was there.

Although it was her third brother who discovered the anomaly, he also gave her a suitable reason.

"Okay, sure."

Juanjuan composed herself and nodded obediently.

...

The number of Mu family soldiers who came to Yunjiang with Mu Shisan this time was not large, but each of them was strong and capable of fighting ten against one.

Therefore, the arrival of about ten Mu family soldiers actually relieved a lot of pressure on the guards watching over the Tang family.

They stopped the people who wanted to kill the head of the Tang family, but they couldn't stop him from committing suicide.

When the Grand Tutor arrived.

The head of the Tang family has already committed suicide by poisoning.

"Who are you……"

The old Grand Tutor looked at the young boy standing beside the corpse of the Tang family head and felt that he looked somewhat familiar.

Mu Shisan clasped his hands in a respectful greeting: "This junior is Mu Shisan."

The old tutor understood, and then asked, "Did you come to Yunjiang on important business?"

Mu Shisan scratched his head: "It's nothing important. I just haven't been home for a long time! There are several happy events in the family, so I begged my father to let me come back and take a look."

"The capital city and Yunjiang are not on the same route."

Mu Shisan blushed slightly: "The little miracle doctor in the army asked me to bring her something back to Yunjiang."

The old tutor understood the boy's expression and didn't ask any further questions.

He remembered that there was a divine doctor in the Mu family army, who seemed to be from Yunjiang. He had a granddaughter who was known as the Little Divine Doctor and was about the same age as this thirteenth young man from the Mu family.

After bidding farewell to the Grand Tutor, the shyness on Mu Shisan's face vanished instantly.

His purpose in coming to Yunjiang this time was to investigate the problem of stale military rations.

Half of the military rations transported this time were old and inedible.

It's not that we didn't submit reports, but submitting reports wouldn't change the outcome.

While the quantity of grain and fodder was not lacking, there were bound to be uncontrollable variables during transportation, and it was not impossible for the grain and fodder to become stale.

The emperor could only punish the officials in charge of transporting the grain and ordered the grain to be redeployed and sent to the frontier.

It seems like an accident, and the supplies have already been replenished; we shouldn't make a big deal out of it.

But this year, the Di Kingdom's fighting style changed. They frequently harassed the city in an attempt to seize grain from the Mu family army. If they couldn't get it, they would try every means to burn the grain.

This time, I came to Yunjiang to check on the grain.

The most likely place to have a large amount of old, rotten grain is the place with the highest grain production.

Therefore, by checking the whereabouts of Yunjiang's old grain, we can find out whether the old grain was due to improper storage on the way or was old grain from the moment it set off!

But tonight, the head of the Tang family died.

He stopped the assassins, but he couldn't stop the head of the Tang family from seeking his own death.

Who is the person behind the head of the Tang family?

Mu Shisan didn't sleep that night and immediately began his investigation in secret.

Bai Yunqi, who was secretly observing, asked his younger siblings, "Do you think he can guess that it's King Wen?"

If he hadn't spoken out directly, which would have been considered revealing a secret and risking being struck by lightning, he would have said it long ago.

Bai Yunxing: "Even if I guess it, I have to confirm it."

Sometimes, guessing is useless; concrete evidence is needed.

Juanjuan couldn't help but yawn.

Bai Yunqi's gaze suddenly shifted to Juanjuan.

Why is this little guy still here, silent and completely ignored?

"It's late, let's go back to sleep!"

Juanjuan: ...
