On the second day after the Tiansheng Cult attack, repairs and reconstruction began inside the mansion. Because of the presence of warriors, the progress of repairs and reconstruction was very fast.
In the process of repairing the mansion, the Xuanguo Mansion also cooperated with other princes' mansions to investigate the incidents of cultists, search for various traces of the Tiansheng Sect and the Paradise Sect in Kyoto, and eliminate each believer.
In a courtyard.
Chen Xing was listening to his servant's report and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Is everything you said true?"
"I have confirmed everything, and it is all true."
The servant responded quietly.
Chen Xing closed his eyes, and after a while, he opened them again and said, "Then Wu Peng's wife and children are also under control?"
"They're all caught."
The servant responded.
Chen Xing nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
A trace of indifference flashed in his eyes.
He didn't take Chen Mu's matter to heart at first, he just planned to crush him to death at some point, but he didn't expect that during the two days of investigation about the intrusion of the Tiansheng Cult, Chen Mu was found.
Patroller Wu Peng is a follower of the Tiansheng Cult!
And Chen Mu actually went to Wu Peng's home and got involved with Wu Peng, and that's what happened in the past few days.
After learning about this, Chen Xing immediately asked people to further investigate Chen Mu, but found out that Chen Mu's whereabouts have been strange recently.
There are large amounts of gold tickets and gold ingots of unknown origin.
It seems to be from Wanzhen Building, and it is suspected that he stole something from the house and sold it.
I met Wu Peng's family and personally gave Wu Peng's wife a large sum of gold tickets, a hundred gold!
I have been in and out of Tianji Tower.
It is not clear what exactly he did or what information he obtained.
The maid next to her, Xiaofeng, was also a spy placed by the Tiansheng Cult in Xuanguo Mansion.
Today, he disappeared without a trace and disappeared from home. All the servants said that they had not seen Chen Mu since the morning. They searched the Xuanguo Mansion but could not find him.
"He actually colluded with a cult..."
Chen Xing had a sullen face.
Originally, he had no intention of really doing anything to Chen Mu, that is, cleaning him up or driving him out of the house, but Chen Mu actually did so many weird things secretly, many of which were related to the cult.
Although these are not clear evidence, together they can make Chen Mu unable to argue. Whether it is true or false, it is enough to kill Chen Mu. What's more, if this is true, even if there is no personal grudge, Chen Mu will still die.
.
This thing is so bad!
It was so bad that he couldn't handle it himself, so he had to report it to Chen Guang!
…
Listening to the constant knocking sounds in the distance, Ning Qiang felt a little depressed. She got up and walked around the yard several times, but she still didn't feel better.
"Master, don't leave anymore. It's better to sit down and have a rest."
The maid next to me came over and whispered a reminder.
Ning Qiang lightly beat her chest with her fist, shook her head and said, "I don't know what's going on. I always feel bored and panicked. I always feel like something bad has happened."
The maid smiled and said: "The noise of repairing the yard over there is so loud that even I feel upset, let alone you. You'd better go to the house to have a rest. The noise will be quieter inside."
"maybe."
Ning Qiang rubbed her eyebrows.
Then, with the help of the maid, he walked to the bedroom at the back.
But before he could take a few steps, a servant hurried into the yard.
"The master wants you to go to the west courtyard."
The servant spoke to Ning Qiang.
Hearing these words, Ning Qiang felt her heart skip a beat, and had a premonition that something bad was going on, but she couldn't shirk it at this time, so she could only respond, and then walked towards the west courtyard.
When she arrived at the west courtyard, she saw Chen Guangzheng, Duke of Xuan, standing in the courtyard with a livid face. Next to him, Chen Xing reported something with a cold face.
Ning Qiang walked closer and gradually heard Chen Xing's report clearly.
After hearing only one or two words, he was frightened, showed a little horror in his eyes, and couldn't help but said: "No, it is impossible for him to do such a thing..."
"Quiet."
Chen Guang shouted coldly.
This cold shout contained a burst of oppression, which made Ning Qiang feel depressed. She was unable to speak anymore. She staggered, but she managed to hold on without falling.
"You keep talking."
Chen Guang looked at Chen Xing and said coldly.
Chen Xing also felt palpitations, but continued to report: "... After Chen Mu got this large sum of money, he went to Wu Peng's house and gave Wu Peng's wife a gold ticket worth one hundred gold. Wu Peng's wife didn't seem to know the specific reason.
, but Wu Peng must know it, and it is probably used to contact him."
"That's unreasonable!"
Chen Guang was filled with anger for a moment.
If it were just a servant colluding with a cult, he would not be so angry if he killed him, but Chen Mu is the bloodline of Duke Xuan, and he is the master of Xuan Guo Mansion after the descendants of Duke Xuan!
It can be said that the servants colluded with the cult, which can be said to be a momentary oversight, but the master colluded with the cult, which means a completely different meaning, and the entire Xuanguo Mansion will be implicated!
"Who else knows about this?"
Chen Guang stared at Chen Xing and asked.
Chen Xing was also a little frightened by Chen Guang's gaze, and immediately responded: "Everyone who knows about it has been controlled by me, including Wu Peng's wife and children, and can be dealt with at any time."
"You did very well."
"The fewer people who know, the better."
Chen Guang nodded.
This kind of thing must be controlled, otherwise once word gets out, Duke Xuan will be criticized by all parties in the court, and he may be stripped of his title!
Chen Guang turned to look at Ning Qiang and said coldly: "Where has he gone?"
Ning Qiang only felt cold in her hands and feet. She knew that Chen Mu would not be able to hook up with the cult, but at this moment, being stared at by Chen Guang's cold eyes, she could not even say a single word of defense.
"I...I don't know..."
Ning Qiang trembled with difficulty.
Chen Xing added in a low voice beside him, "By the way, she was in Chen Mu's bedroom that night. I heard from my servant that between them..."
Chen Guang waved his hand.
interrupted Chen Xing's words.
Compared to colluding with a cult, this kind of thing is inconsequential. Not to mention that Ning Qiang's appearance should still be perfect. Even if she really has something to do with Chen Mu, it doesn't matter at this time.
"You, how could you slander me and uncle like this?"
Ning Qiang was so angry that she was shaking all over. If she was a little surprised before, now she was convinced that Chen Xing was all slandering and just seeking revenge.
If they just slander her and Chen Mu, that's fine. She is innocent and can prove it at any time. But slandering Chen Mu for colluding with a cult is so vicious. It will put Chen Mu to death!
"snort!"
Chen Guang snorted coldly.
This cold snort was like a thunder, exploding in the yard, interrupting Ning Qiang's words and making Ning Qiang's eyes tremble.
Chen Guang looked at Ning Qiang coldly and said, "Let me ask again, where is he?"
"I...I don't know...but it's impossible for uncle to..."
Ning Qiang's voice trembled.
"Pull it down."
Chen Guang waved his hand coldly, interrupting Ning Qiang's words, not wanting to listen any more.
Maybe Ning Qiang really knew nothing about it, but this matter was so bad that all clues had to be eliminated. It just so happened that Ning Qiang had no heirs, so it didn't matter, so we just dealt with it.
The old slave who was following Chen Guang responded and walked towards Ning Qiang.
"It's impossible for uncle to do that kind of thing, please believe it..."
Ning Qiang knelt down in front of Chen Guang and spoke with a trembling voice.
If possible, she is now even willing to die to prove her innocence, but since it involves a cult, and she is a low-key person, even death can't prove anything.
The old slave quietly glanced at Chen Guang and saw that Chen Guang didn't look at Ning Qiang anymore, so he walked up to Ning Qiang with a straight face and was about to take action.
But just then.
A voice came.
"stop!"
The old slave's movements paused.
Everyone looked together and saw a figure walking in from outside the hospital. He was petite and graceful, with light flowing in his beautiful eyes. It was Chen Yao.
"What mistake did my sister-in-law make? What are you going to do?"
As soon as Chen Yao walked into the courtyard, she kept asking.
When Chen Guang saw Chen Yao, he frowned slightly and scolded: "Go down and don't get involved."
