After learning about a shortcut that deviated from the official road from the honest man who was driving, the carriage turned around. Although according to his words, this shortcut was a bit uneven, it got off the car at Danu and passed several large blocks blocking the road.
After the stone was easily removed, the honest man said nothing more.
Fortunately, Mu Yi changed the road, so a few fast horses chased him along the official road, which saved him some trouble.
In the next few days, the carriage did not pass through any major county towns, so Mu Yi also did not know that many portrait notices had been posted in the county town, and one of them even described the characteristics of Mu Yi and Da Nu in detail.
If Mu Yi saw it, he would immediately know that the news of the key had spread completely, and some people even connected Mu Yi with the murderer of the young master, even though it was indeed Mu Yi who did it.
But there was no one who really saw it, but the group of people in Luoyang City needed to report to the superiors. If Qu Yang was secretly adding fuel to the flames, it would be natural to replace the mysterious murderer with Mu Yi. Anyway, all they needed was a scapegoat.
An explanation is enough.
"Taoist Master, there is a town ahead. How about we stay in the town tonight?"
That evening, when the carriage arrived at a small town, Li Laoshi opened the curtain and asked Mu Yi in the carriage for instructions.
After setting out on the road, Mu Yi naturally no longer concealed his identity and put on a Taoist robe again. Through small talk, he also knew the name of the coachman, Li Laoshi. Of course, this was not his real name, but because he was too honest.
So the name Li Laoshi came into being, and over time, he even called himself that.
"Okay." Mu Yi nodded. Although he could not sleep in the open air these past few days, he had not had a good rest. Even though Mu Yi could meditate at night and practice the bamboo of years, Li Laoshi was driving during the day and could not have a good rest at night.
You won't be able to hold on for a long time.
Hearing Mu Yi's agreement, Li Laoshi's eyes showed a hint of joy. If it were him, he would definitely be reluctant to stay in the hotel, but Mu Yi hired his carriage, which naturally included the food and lodging along the way, and all expenses were paid by Mu Yi.
Come out.
It was just getting dark at the moment, but every door in the town was closed, and not even a pedestrian was seen on the road. The situation seemed a bit strange, and there was not even an inn in this town, which was a bit abnormal.
However, Li Laoshi finally knocked on the door of a wealthy family and made his intention clear.
Naturally, the family was unwilling and kept trying to drive them away. Finally, after Mu Yi handed over a piece of silver, the other party thought for a while and finally accommodated them and agreed to stay one night.
But they were asked to leave before dawn tomorrow.
Although he knew that something was wrong with the situation, Mu Yi still agreed directly. The key was that there was no water in their carriage and they could just replenish some.
Then, under the leadership of the housekeeper, they came to a side room. At least for the sake of money, the housekeeper prepared some food and water, but explained again that they were not allowed to wander around at night, and they were not allowed to wander around before dawn.
Must leave.
"It's really weird here." After the housekeeper left, Li Laoshi couldn't help but muttered.
Mu Yi just smiled and didn't say anything. Regardless of whether this place was weird or not, they were leaving tomorrow morning and would not have anything to do with this place.
At night, after Li Laoshi crawled onto the bed and fell asleep, Mu Yi started to perform sacrifices again. Although it was a strange place, Mu Yi was still not afraid. At least the big slave was standing by. If anything happened, he would not be unable to take care of it.
With the past few days of sacrifice, Mu Yi clearly felt that Nian Nuer's aura was getting stronger and stronger, and he almost wanted to break through the restrictions of the Time Bamboo and burst out completely.
Obviously, her savings had reached its peak, and she might be able to break through in the next moment, but that night, Nian Nuer still failed to break through.
"Quick, quick, it's right here."
"Hurry up and surround us, don't let the murderer escape!"
In the early morning, before dawn, there was a burst of chaotic sounds outside. At least based on Mu Yi's induction, there were no less than twenty auras gathered outside.
"Taoist Priest, what happened?"
The movement outside also woke Li Laoshi. He got up from the bed and asked Mu Yi in confusion.
At this moment, the courtyard was brightly illuminated by torches, and the light filtered in through the window and shone on Li Laoshi's dazed face.
"I don't know, let's go out and have a look." Mu Yi shook his head and walked out of bed. Fortunately, the sacrifice had been completed long ago, otherwise Li Laoshi and Da Nu alone might not be able to deal with the situation outside.
Mu Yi opened the door first and looked at the people in the yard.
Unexpectedly, at first there was an old woman with silver hair and a cane in her hand. Next to her was the housekeeper who brought them in last night.
Except for a few servants and servants, the rest were maids, all with pale faces, holding various weapons, brooms, dusters, and even wooden basins in their hands, looking ridiculous.
But Mu Yi couldn't laugh.
"I wonder what's wrong with you guys?"
After Mu Yi came out, the people in the yard looked at him nervously, but they did not dare to make any more noise, and their eyes towards him were full of fear.
"Taoist Priest, I saw that you had a hard time traveling, so I kindly took you in for a night, but why did you murder my daughter-in-law?" The old woman among them looked at Mu Yi with hatred and sorrow.
But her words made Mu Yi stunned.
Although I had heard about the murderer before, I still didn't expect that the other party would point the finger directly at him.
"We made a mistake." This was Mu Yi's first thought.
"Old madam, how could it be possible to kill someone if the trail was not out last night? Are you mistaken?" Mu Yi explained.
"Cuixiang, tell me, is it him?" The old woman turned to look at a pale girl next to her.
"Old lady!"
The girl named Cuixiang immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud, "Back to the old madam, it was this man who broke into the young madam's room last night and wanted to do something evil to the young madam. The young madam resisted with all her strength, but she was not as strong as this man. In order to keep her innocence,
He bit his tongue and committed suicide."
After the girl finished speaking, she burst into tears.
After listening to her words, Mu Yi's eyes couldn't help but become sharp.
At first I thought it was just a misunderstanding, but now it seems that it was clearly a deliberate attempt to frame him and put the shit basin on his head.
Looking at this group of old, weak, women and children, Mu Yi felt a little sad.
"What a sinister plot. He bit his tongue and committed suicide. It seems that you have decided on the wrong path?" Mu Yi sneered and glanced around. Those people avoided looking at him, not daring to look at him.
"As a monk, to be so unconscionable, I don't believe there is no law in this world." The old woman looked at Mu Yi angrily.
"The king's law is there, but it's not from your family." Mu Yi's voice became even colder.
Behind him, Li Laoshi was frightened. He was too tired last night, so he fell into a deep sleep. He didn't know what happened. However, based on his understanding of Mu Yi, it was impossible for Mu Yi to do such a thing.
Only the big slave who was still in the house didn't care. As long as Mu Yi didn't say anything, he only had to guard the Time Bamboo.
"Old madam, there's no need to talk nonsense to an ungrateful person like him. I've already sent someone to report him to the official. All we need to do is arrest him and wait until dawn for the Yamen to send someone to come." The housekeeper standing next to him was at this moment.
said.
In fact, he was the one who collected Mu Yi's money and brought him in last night.
Mu Yi took a deep look at him and began to wonder what the other person's purpose was. Was it because he wanted to make money?
But if he was really motivated by money, why did he go around in such a big circle and risk a life? And send him to see an official? Obviously the other party couldn't be motivated by money.
Since it was not for money, then the key point probably falls on the dead young lady. Could it be suicide? But according to what the girl named Cuixiang said, the young lady bit her tongue and committed suicide. Unless it was voluntary.
, otherwise it will not be easy to do.
Or is it suicide? But what is it for? And if it is really suicide, there is no need to involve him.
So for a while, Mu Yi couldn't figure out what was going on, unless he could see the young lady who bit her tongue and committed suicide. But looking at the current situation, the other party was unwilling to give him this opportunity.
"Little Taoist Priest, if you just surrender, I may not be able to say anything nice for you, otherwise I will have to make you suffer." The old woman looked at Mu Yi and said, looking like she was thinking about Mu Yi.
"Does Xiaodao look like a fool? Or have you lived like a dog all these years, old man?" Mu Yi's words were shocking, which really shocked many people. After hearing Mu Yi's words, the old woman
He was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
She used the crutch in her hand hard, and pointed at Mu Yi with her other hand tremblingly, "Okay, okay, it seems that you are toasting instead of eating the fine wine. Come here, take him down for me, life or death."
.”
Obviously, the old woman was furious.
"Yes, old lady."
Perhaps it was because Mu Yi was young and looked easy to bully, so after hearing what the old lady said, several servants surrounded Mu Yi with weapons such as axes and kitchen knives. As for Li Laoshi behind Mu Yi
, naturally ignored by them.
They had seen people like Li Laoshi who were honest and trustworthy at first sight, and they could even calm him down with just a maid.
Mu Yi looked at the expressionless expressions of the servants who had gathered around him. Unexpectedly, he did not have much murderous intention in his heart. In fact, after the mass killing a few days ago, he knew that his realm was not yet stable.
So these days, he has been trying his best to consolidate his realm.
In this situation, as long as he is willing, he can easily kill everyone, but he is not willing to spoil his mood again because of this trivial matter, and let the state that has finally been stabilized fluctuate again, not to mention, he is not willing to
He likes to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
However, even though he didn't kill people, it didn't mean that he would be captured without hesitation, and he also wanted to see what kind of show the other party was playing.
