Chapter 422 Adding fuel to the fire
When Mo Yunzhu was sleeping soundly, there was a loud shouting outside.
She acted smartly, and Li Xiang came in immediately and said, "Miss, there's something wrong in the backyard."
"What time is it now?" Mo Yunzhu didn't know how long she had slept.
"It's already three o'clock in the morning." Li Xiang's words made Mo Yunzhu breathe a sigh of relief.
With the strength of Jun Huolan and Zhuo Yu, they wouldn't kill people from midnight to the third watch. It must be that the servants who were patrolling behind went there and saw something wrong.
Mo Yunzhu put on her clothes and ran out, and saw many people outside running towards the backyard.
"Yunzhu!" Zhuo Yu's voice rang out, "Why are you up?"
"Brother Yu, what happened? Why is everyone running to the back?" Mo Yunzhu looked panicked.
"Someone's dead in the backyard. Don't go. I'll go check it out first." Zhuo Yu winked at her and immediately flew away.
But Mo Yunzhu didn't listen to him. Instead, she slowly followed the servants and squeezed into the backyard to take a look.
However, they were stopped by the security guards, who told them to stop making noise and that it was just some of Mr. Zhuo's friends who had gotten into trouble and it had nothing to do with them, so they were told to go back to sleep.
The servants were in a panic, but they didn't know what was going on and were not allowed to go in. They only saw some corpses covered with white cloths lying in the yard from the crowd, and they all walked away with their necks tucked in.
Mo Yunzhu was not afraid. She walked to the gate of the courtyard.
"Aren't these the friends from the martial arts world that Uncle Zhuo just invited? How could they be dead?" Mo Yunzhu asked while standing next to the security guard.
The guards all knew Mo Yunzhu and knew that she was the same as their master.
"Miss Mo, the details of what happened are still unclear, because an assassin broke in, and the old man is checking and dealing with it. It's bloody inside, so you'd better not go in." The security guard said politely.
Mo Yunzhu covered her nose and said, "The smell of blood is so strong, it looks like a lot of people died, should we report it to the Ministry of Justice?"
"This, this has to wait for the decision of the old master and the young master."
"Okay, I'll go back to sleep." Mo Yunzhu yawned again, and turned around and said anxiously, "You guys better watch out ahead. What if the assassin comes again?"
The guard immediately felt that it made sense.
"Don't worry, Miss Mo, we will add more people to patrol."
Mo Yunzhu nodded, and then went back with relief.
In the backyard, the twelve bodies had been carried out and placed on the open space.
Zhuo Hongli had just returned and sent someone to look for someone, but he didn't expect this to happen. When he came over and saw it, he was so angry that he fell down.
If Uncle Zhao hadn't been watching over him and immediately transferred some internal energy to him, he would have probably had a stroke.
"Godfather, who did this?" Zhuo Yu was very angry. After all, he was the one who picked these people up during the day.
Zhuo Hongli's chest heaved, and then he squatted down to check.
"It seems that the murderer is very strong, as they were all killed with one sword. However, there is no sign of resistance. He must have drugged them while they were sleeping." Zhuo Hongli said after looking at it.
"Master, there should be two people. You see, these are different from those fatal blows. Although they are all sword wounds, one is obviously wider and thicker." Uncle Zhao also checked.
Zhuo Hongli read it again, nodded and said, "Yes, there should be two people, and they can enter the Wanyao Pavilion silently, so they must be strong.
And there is this drug. Normal drugs cannot make all twelve people unconscious. The internal strength of the fifth one is very strong. Even if he is drugged, it is impossible for him to not resist at all."
"Who has this kind of drug?" Uncle Zhao also nodded. In fact, these guys are quite strong and it is impossible for them to sleep so soundly.
Zhuo Hongli's old face was so gloomy that it could no longer be looked at, and his palms were clenched into fists.
Thinking back to when he was having dinner, he was called out by Song Gou. His pharmacy in the other courtyard was destroyed, killing several people, and he asked if he was the one who did it.
Zhuo Hongli was so angry that he laughed. The two argued until two o'clock in the morning, but he finally felt that something was wrong.
They are not stupid, and they also feel that they are being used to sow discord among them, but the dead cannot testify.
Even a living person couldn't explain it clearly. Song Gou asked him to provide evidence that the incident in the villa was not done by him, otherwise he would never let him go.
Zhuo Hongli also agreed to prove his innocence, but he didn't expect that before he could figure out how to prove his innocence, something went wrong when he came back here.
Zhuo Hongli looked at the row of corpses and felt that he was really stupid.
Song Gou and I have been arguing to this point. It is obvious that Song Gou is trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and his purpose is to kill all the people who entered the city today.
"Yu'er, please make arrangements. I'm a little tired." Zhuo Hongli said to Zhuo Yu.
"Godfather. You should go and have a rest. I will take care of everything here." Zhuo Yu said quickly.
Uncle Zhao helped Zhuo Hongli leave. Zhuo Yu asked everyone to shut up, and then arranged for someone to take the body out and find a quiet place to bury it.
As for the families of these people, Zhuo Yu will also pay for their comfort.
This is the rule of Wanyao Pavilion, otherwise there wouldn't be so many killers willing to join Wanyao Pavilion.
The lights in Wanyao Pavilion remained on until dawn, and everyone had dark circles under their eyes.
Mo Yunzhu went to pay her respects to Zhuo Hongli early in the morning.
"Uncle Zhuo, are you okay? How could this happen? I was so scared that I couldn't sleep afterwards."
When Mo Yunzhu saw Zhuo Hongli's thin old face, she couldn't help laughing.
"Don't be afraid, those people won't target you." Zhuo Hongli looked very weak, as if he had suffered a serious illness.
"Uncle Zhao, you go and have a rest. I will take care of Uncle Zhuo." Mo Yunzhu said to Uncle Zhao beside her.
Uncle Zhao immediately said no, but Zhuo Hongli immediately gave him a look.
"Old Zhao, you've been tired all night, go back and rest, Yun Zhu is all that's needed here, by the way, Yu'er will be free soon, let him come over."
Uncle Zhao agreed and went out. Mo Yunzhu poured tea and water for him, and also took his pulse, taking care of Zhuo Hongli meticulously.
When Zhuo Hongli looked at her, he felt as if he had a wife, and the pain and anger he felt last night disappeared a lot.
"Uncle Zhuo, you're a little irritable, and your qi and blood are a little weak. You'd better not overwork yourself." Mo Yunzhu said to Zhuo Hongli after taking his pulse.
Zhuo Hongli nodded and said, "Okay, I will take care of myself."
"Uncle Zhuo, was it Eunuch Song who attacked last night?" Mo Yunzhu suddenly asked in a low voice.
Zhuo Hongli was startled by her and asked, "Why do you think so?"
"Isn't this Cheng Linhan who has returned? He said that Eunuch Song had a stone room for making medicine in the other courtyard, but it was destroyed. He heard from Eunuch Song that he suspected it was done by you, Uncle Zhuo."
Zhuo Hongli looked deep and asked, "Why would Cheng Linhan tell you these things?"
"I forced him to tell me. He can see that I care about you, Uncle Zhuo, and he thinks Eunuch Song is too suspicious, so he wants me to remind you, Uncle Zhuo, to be careful." Mo Yunzhu pouted.
