Chapter 268 East, South, North and West

Uncle Zhou thought about it over and over but couldn't figure out who would kill Uncle Sun. All those who had grudges against Uncle Sun had been dealt with in the past twenty years.

Apart from his adopted son, who is closest to him, the young master does not know his own life experience. If he knew, he would probably confront him first. Moreover, Uncle Sun has been good to him since he was a child, and it is not in the young master's character to kill him so directly.

Moreover, the place where Sun Shu was killed was in a ruined temple three days away from the border, and they passed by that ruined temple on their way back.

Did the Qingyun people have to chase so far before they attacked? Then the murderer's forbearance was very scary.

Fan Fengze said that he saw the flame armband of the Chen Kingdom's royal death squad, which made Zhuo Hongli confused.

It can be said that he has a very good relationship with the current royal family. He helped Chen Tianqi kill his brother and seized the position that originally belonged to the Second Prince. Chen Tianqi was very grateful to him.

He also knew his own interests and did not want to be a high-ranking official. Instead, he chose to live an ordinary life in a low-key manner. Then the royal family would have no reason to kill his people.

Moreover, if the royal family wanted to kill him, wouldn't they have had the opportunity in the past 20 years? Why did they do it so late? This doesn't make sense.

After much thought, Zhuo Hongli finally thought of the new emperor's ascension to the throne.

Last year, the new emperor ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty, releasing many prisoners. Could it be that there were his enemies among the prisoners?

If he is not a prisoner, then does the new emperor have any opinion about him?

Thinking of the complicated relationship between him and the royal family, Zhuo Hongli seemed to be trapped in a complicated circle and couldn't figure it out all of a sudden.

He also checked Fan Fengze's poison. After all, he was an expert in making poisons, but he found that he was once again helpless against this poison. He couldn't even detoxify Fan Mingzhu's yin-yang face.

This made him doubt himself. He had been making drugs since he was a child, so when did he become so bad?

He couldn't cure the Yin-bone poison in his own body, and he couldn't cure the black stripe worm poison in Qingyun Fan Mingzhu's body. Now there are two more poisons that he can't cure?

When did the world's poisons become so varied?

Or is he really old?

Am I not even as good as that little guy Lan Yan?

Others were miraculous doctors, and he was a poison doctor. In the end, others surpassed him, and Zhuo Hongli once doubted his life.

After returning from the Fan family, Zhuo Hongli did not sleep all night. The death of Uncle Sun made him very sad, after all, he was an old man who had been with him for such a long time.

Zhuo Hongli was really sad that one of his four most reliable and powerful confidants was suddenly gone, and he didn't know who the murderer was.

Mo Yunzhu had no idea that Zhuo Hongli was so sad because of Uncle Sun. If she knew, she would be happy to eat an extra bowl of rice.

Mo Yunzhu had been to the small courtyard in Qinghua Lane yesterday, so this time they didn't need a guide. The three of them came here directly. Of course, they were very careful on the road, fearing that someone would follow them.

Uncle Li opened the door and smiled when he saw Mo Yunzhu, "Princess, Long San is inside."

"Uncle Li, don't call me princess. Call me Miss. The prince and I haven't gotten married yet." Mo Yunzhu wanted to correct this yesterday.

"In the letter, the prince told me to treat the eldest lady as the princess." Uncle Li said with a smile.

Mo Yunzhu's face was a little hot as she said, "I know, but I'm afraid I'll make a mistake and cause unnecessary trouble."

Uncle Li nodded immediately and started addressing her as Miss.

Long San had already rushed out from the inner room, and seeing Mo Yunzhu with a happy face, he knelt on one knee to salute her.

"Get up, don't be polite to me, you've worked hard along the way." Mo Yunzhu said with a smile, and then several people sat down in the inner room.

Aunt Xu served them tea, melon seeds and peanuts and let them eat while chatting.

"Miss, I have fulfilled my mission." Long San showed his white teeth, "Fan Fengze and Fan Mingzhu were both poisoned. Uncle Sun killed them directly."

He described the situation at that time.

"You did a great job." Mo Yunzhu praised, "I believe the prince has also received the news from Long Sichuan."

Long San nodded and immediately began to report on what he had done here in the past ten days.

"I have met with Xiao Yi and the others. I know which government office each of them has gone to work as a guard. Every three days, I will go to see if they have any news. In addition, I have also contacted those people who the prince had left in the imperial capital before." Long San began to report in detail.

Mo Yunzhu was very surprised after hearing this. She didn't expect that Jun Huolan had such a hard time in those ten years, but he still had twenty or thirty confidants, and each of them was willing to follow Jun Huolan.

This group of people are in contact with Uncle Li, and they will send news to Jun Huolan every once in a while. Now this group of people has also developed some subordinates to help with things. Jun Huolan had a batch of money before, and asked them to find a shop and do business to cover up their identities.

"We now have four stores, which sell groceries. No one will be suspicious if you come in and out." Long San said with a smile, "Miss, you can go and have a look."

Uncle Li suddenly thought of something and immediately interrupted, "By the way, Miss knows medical skills, can you go and help Brother Hongliang with his injuries?"

Mo Yunzhu was stunned, and Long San immediately explained: "Hong Liang is one of our brothers. He was stabbed a few days ago. The wound worsened last night. If the knife wound is serious, we have to report it to the police, so we didn't dare to go."

"Where is the person?" Mo Yunzhu said immediately.

"It's in the grocery store on the east side." Long San said, "Let's go there now and have lunch there."

Mo Yunzhu nodded, and then Long San took the three of them out of Qinghua Lane and hired a carriage to go to the grocery store.

Because the shops in the commercial district were too expensive and difficult to buy, four grocery stores were located in the east, south, west and north, on the outskirts of the commercial district, but still some distance away from the city gate.

The grocery store they went to was located on the east side of the imperial capital. It was called Kelai Grocery Store. It had a two-bay storefront and was not very big, but fortunately it had two entrances inside with a yard in the middle, which could store some goods and accommodate some people.

The carriage took more than half an hour to arrive. The people here were dressed worse than in the central area of ​​Wanyao Pavilion. There were few two-story houses and fewer shops, but there were still many people.

Along the way, Long San and Chang Teng were always paying attention to the back. Mo Yunzhu was also dressed in simple gray today, and her head was lowered so that it would not be too abrupt.

Originally she wanted to make her skin look a little more yellow, but it really didn't feel comfortable. She couldn't handle being outside all day, so she still went out without makeup.

But compared with the other women here, she still stands out without makeup, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, and fair skin. Most people would take a second look at her appearance.

Fortunately, few people in Chen State have seen this face, so Mo Yunzhu doesn't want to embarrass herself for the time being.

When they arrived at the grocery store, Mo Yunzhu and three others got off the car.

The store was full of goods, and some people were buying things and bargaining with the waiters. Business seemed to be good.

As soon as he entered, Long San exchanged glances with the shopkeeper and shouted, "Shopkeeper, the barrels I ordered have arrived. My friend and I are here to pick them up."

"Here it is, sir. Please go to the backyard to get it." said the shopkeeper with a smile.
