King Shou said that this matter could be settled in about half a month, which was actually a bit optimistic.
Meng Xiang and his wife were also very easy to check. They could do it in just a few words and in half a day.
But when they visited the old Marquis and his wife, they ran into trouble.
He refused to plead guilty. No matter what he asked, Mr. Mu always said, "I don't know, I don't know."
Mrs. Mu couldn't say a few words before she fainted and was seriously ill.
Mu Zixin burst into tears when asked: "The sinner is sorry for your majesty. There is absolutely no poisoning. She was just suspicious and ran away secretly."
The sinner was afraid of not being able to explain clearly and felt embarrassed, so he had no choice but to come up with this method and try to hide it."
The servant girl was hired, but her knowledge was limited, and she just said a few words over and over again, which were almost the same as what the third grandmother said.
King Shou is not in a hurry, he will be punished when he should be punished, and he will be arrested when he should be arrested.
Within a few days, most of the servants in the Muhou Mansion were summoned to court, and a small number were kept in prison for interrogation day and night.
It caused people to panic, and those with connections ran away even if they could. The Muhou Mansion, which used to be so lively and bustling, suddenly became deserted and desolate.
Mu Yao lost face and was in a bad mood, so she simply locked herself up and said nothing, never showed up, and asked nothing about anything in the house.
Mrs. Mu Da ran to her parents' house for help, but her parents avoided her, so she could only cry and curse.
Although Mr. Mu Er wanted to turn the tide, he was powerless. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he simply stopped giving Gu the pills.
The people of Mujia Street are also in a state of panic, and everyone is looking for their own way out.
And the courtyard with sweet-scented osmanthus in Mujia Street still smells of all kinds of food every day, making these people irritable and want to snatch people away every day.
At this time, two more Gao Shengji's shops were opening in the west to recruit people.
The fat aunt's family took the lead to apply for the job and successfully joined the job. The Muhou Mansion had no time to take care of itself, so no one came to take care of it.
Everyone was envious and came to inquire one after another. They all wanted to ask the fat aunt to introduce him to work.
The fat aunt picked the most shrewd and capable ones and took them there to try out the work in the shop. More than twenty people were employed at once.
When the news came back, the whole Mujia Street was in a state of excitement.
More people wanted to go out and apply for jobs, but other shops were not as easy to talk to as Gao Shengji. As soon as they heard that it belonged to Mu's, they kicked people out without explanation.
So seven or eight days passed, and everyone in Mujia Street was idle except for Gao Shengji, who had taken in more than twenty people.
Mr. Mu Er was so busy dealing with the lawsuit that he completely forgot to arrange for the distribution of food and expenses to these people.
The angry Mu clan members surrounded the Muhou Mansion and almost broke into the house to rob and distribute things.
At the critical moment, it was Mrs. Gu who led the people and maintained order as a 100-year-old in-law.
Master Mu Er personally divided the food expenses for another season before calming down the anger of the clan members.
The incident was so big that even Mu Yunhan, who lived in seclusion at home, heard about it.
When she saw Gu Fenglin in the evening, she couldn't help but said to him: "Your old man is really too powerful. This time, is he planning to take the opportunity to hold the Muhou Mansion in his hands and let him round it up and flatten it?"
?"
Gu Fenglin said: "That's what he means, but Mr. Mu Er is not a vegetarian. He holds the secret recipe for the medicine and the person who donated the blood, and he will not let it go." (To be continued)
