With the Iron Shoe Bandit's curse of "Tomorrow at noon, I will come for your life", not many people would be able to sleep peacefully until noon.

When Hua Manlou woke up, Yang Muzhi was busy changing his appearance.

Looking at his fake smile in the mirror, Yang Muzhi smiled bitterly and said to the person behind him, "Hua Manlou, it's a good thing you can't see it.

To be honest, I think it's a bit funny. "

Hua Manlou pressed his head accurately into his hair and laughed softly, "Muzhi, no matter what you look like, you're the same in my eyes."

"What do you look like?"

"The way I'm happy."

Yang Muzhi's face gradually became warmer. He put his hands on his waist and turned around, "What if you wake up one day and realize that I'm not like what you imagined?"

Hua Manlou laughed and teased him playfully, "Then you can only accept it."

As if he really took it to heart, Yang Muzhi followed up and asked, "Accept it?

Do you accept your fate or admit defeat? "

Kissing his forehead, Hua Manlou's voice carried a smile, "I've set my mind on you, Muzhi."

Unprepared for being teased again, Yang Muzhi paused and said, "It won't be long, Hua Manlou, your eyes …"

When the two of them arrived at the reception pavilion, Lu Xiaofeng and Jin Jiu Ling had already arrived and were discussing the case.

Jin Jiu Ling seemed to have grown an extra pair of eyes. Since Yang Muzhi entered the door, although he was still talking about the case, his eyes had long been glued to him and refused to leave.

Sensing his burning gaze, Yang Muzhi was slightly displeased and moved closer to Hua Manlou.

"So, who was the one who drugged Yuan Fei?" Lu Xiaofeng had obvious dark circles under his eyes. He didn't know if he didn't sleep well or if he didn't sleep at all.

After he finished speaking, he didn't get a response for half a cup of tea. He looked up and saw that Jin Jiu Ling had already jumped in front of Yang Muzhi and Hua Manlou. He silently added in his heart, "Forget your friends when you see a girl."

"Golden Constable, was the villa safe last night?"

Because Yang Muzhi still had Hua Ping's face, he was happy and didn't speak at all. Hua Manlou had to speak for two people.

Jin Jiu Ling smiled and retracted his gaze. Facing Hua Manlou, he was much more serious. "Other than Yuan Fei being drugged, there were no other major issues."

Because this matter was still confidential, Jin Jiu Ling lowered his voice and didn't speak in detail. The three of them moved closer to Lu Xiaofeng. Hua Manlou asked, "Drugged?

Is it serious? "

"Medicine Man Song Wencao has already treated him and said that it's nothing serious. After three or four days, he will naturally wake up."

Lu Xiaofeng continued, "But it's strange, isn't it?

If it was the Iron Shoe Bandit who did it, how could someone as vicious and merciless as him leave a person alive?

If it wasn't the Iron Shoe Bandit, then who could have done it? "

What he said made sense. Moreover, he would only wake up after three or four days. This kind of matter was too small and couldn't be considered a shocking matter at all.

Hua Manlou, who was the most meticulous, pondered for a moment. "The Iron Shoe Bandit's reason for coming this time was either to steal the Jade Buddha Of The Vast Seas or to take revenge on the people of Jianghu who pursued him in the past.

But now that there are so many experts gathered, attacking without any reason will only cause him to reveal more clues. I don't think it was the Iron Shoe Bandit who did it. "

Yang Muzhi nodded in agreement and then asked, "Who discovered Yuan Fei's coma?

The first person to discover it is very suspicious. "

"It was Kantai. He and Yuan Fei are close friends. He originally wanted to find Yuan Fei to patrol together, but when he found him, he was already unconscious."

Playing with his beard, Lu Xiaofeng expressed his opinion. "Yesterday, Jin Jiu Ling said that Yuan Fei was suspicious. Today, he fainted. This is too much of a coincidence.

Since I said before that the people around Uncle Hua can't be trusted, Muzhi might as well personally check on Yuan Fei and then ask Kantai. I have a feeling that they might know something. "

With that said, the four of them decided on the spot to check on Yuan Fei's situation. Jin Jiu Ling wanted to liven up the atmosphere and patted Lu Xiaofeng. "Look at what you said just now. It was as if I was the one who said that Yuan Fei fainted."

Perhaps because Yang Muzhi and Hua Manlou had explained things clearly, their relationship had taken a step further and they dared to face the difficulties in front of them together. Therefore, the atmosphere between the four of them was quite good. Jin Jiu Ling's words also succeeded in making the atmosphere more lively.

Yuan Fei lived not far away, so the four of them soon arrived. Yang Muzhi carefully observed his symptoms. After checking his pulse again and again, he quickly took out a small medicine bottle that he carried with him and took out a pill for Yuan Fei to swallow. Then his face sank. "He's not unconscious, he's poisoned. If he's not detoxified in time, I'm afraid he won't be able to wake up again."

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly stagnated. After the servant, the Iron Shoe Bandit made his move again.

Medicine Man Song Wencao, who had treated Yuan Fei, became more suspicious. Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Can you speculate when he was poisoned?

Is this poison common?

Is it easy to diagnose and treat? "

Yang Muzhi shook his head. "According to the spread, he should have been poisoned last night. It's not a poison from the Central Plains. People who don't understand won't be able to diagnose it at all."

It wasn't a poison from the Central Plains. The Iron Shoe Bandit came from the Poison Dragon Island. Hanhai Province didn't belong to the Central Plains either. This clue was broken again.

After arranging the Hua family's secret guards around Yuan Fei, the four of them went to find Kantai with heavy hearts to ask about the relevant situation.

It was Jin Jiu Ling who came out with a smile to liven up the atmosphere. "Everyone, don't be so tense. Otherwise, Kantai will be able to tell that something is wrong when he sees you."

After hearing his words, the other three reluctantly put away their heavy expressions and put on more normal ones.

When they found Kantai, he was much more solemn than the other four people. He didn't evade the question. "We usually live together. Before we came, we had a quarrel and then separated. When I went to find him, he … If I had known, I would have given in. Why did I have to fight with him?"

Every sentence came from the bottom of his heart. Hua Manlou couldn't bear to see the tough guy sad, so he comforted him. "Master Yuan is only unconscious. Please don't be too sad."

Kantai sighed. "When he wakes up, I'll give in to him and admit my mistake. We won't quarrel anymore."

The four of them didn't get any useful clues. They wanted to find Song Wencao to ask about the situation, but they couldn't find him. They just gave up.

During lunch, the eldest son of the Hua family brought all the good wine that had been hidden in the wine cellar for a long time to apologize to the guests who were frightened yesterday.

Perhaps it was because they had the thought of "even if they died, they would eat and drink well before they died." Everyone ate and drank freely. Only Hua Manlou's table was different.

Because he was wearing Hua Ping's face, Yang Muzhi didn't want to join them. If a servant didn't follow the rules, it would never be the servant who would lose face, but the master.

However, he couldn't resist the other three's insistence. In the end, he sat next to Hua Manlou and helped him put food on the table.

Lu Xiaofeng was so envious that he smacked his lips. He drank cup after cup of wine and didn't stop even after he finished a jar. He kept saying that he wanted to go to the wine cellar to get another jar.

Jin Jiu Ling didn't spare him a glance. Yang Muzhi and Hua Manlou were eating and drinking. Naturally, they didn't care about him.

Who knew that he would bump into Kantai on the way to the wine cellar. Almost immediately, Lu Xiaofeng took advantage of the terrain to hide.

After Kantai disappeared from sight, he quickly ran to the wine cellar to see if any of the jars had been tampered with.

Unfortunately, every jar was about the same. In the end, he could only bring one jar back for Yang Muzhi to inspect.

It was less than two hours before noon.

Yang Muzhi was full of doubts as he inspected the jar that Lu Xiaofeng brought back. "There's nothing different. Little Phoenix, did you drink too much and become muddle-headed?"

At this moment, the eldest son of the Hua family, Hua Man Xuan, was about to propose a toast. Lu Xiaofeng knew that something was wrong. He stopped Hua Man Xuan, snatched the jar of wine from his hand, and handed it to Yang Muzhi.

This time, the wine was poisoned. It wasn't the poison of the Central Plains.

Someone made a move.

After careful consideration, the four of them decided not to change the wine in the jar. Instead, they carefully observed each person's reaction during the toast. Kantai was, of course, the focus.

What happened later proved that there was indeed something wrong with Kantai. He repeatedly declined Hua Man Xuan's toast. In the end, he didn't drink.

After all the tables had been toasted, the four of them still hadn't discovered Song Wencao's whereabouts. Thus, they called Kantai out to confront him.

"Kantai!

You've already harmed one person. Don't tell me you want to harm others! "

Jin Jiu Ling displayed the imposing manner of a constable interrogating a criminal. However, Kantai wasn't intimidated. In fact, he was a little frightened.

"Harmed one person?!

What do you mean?!

Speak! "He shouted himself hoarse, as if he wasn't the culprit but the victim.

Faced with such a "criminal," Jin Jiu Ling was a little unconfident. He braced himself and continued, "Yuan Fei has been poisoned. I'm afraid he won't survive!

If you're not harming one person, then what are you?! "

As if he had heard the most terrifying words in the world, Kantai trembled. "You're not lying to me?

… Yuan Fei … Yuan Fei won't survive? "

His blood-curdling voice pierced through everyone's hearts, forcibly evoking memories of the past that they didn't want to recall.

They didn't need to interrogate him. Kantai had already broken down. "I knew he wouldn't let me go. I knew that the drug wasn't as simple as a fake death drug. Why did I still feed it to Yuan Fei …"

Lu Xiaofeng grabbed him by the collar so that he wouldn't collapse. He asked sternly, "Who is he?!

Who ordered you to do this?! "

However, before Kantai could say the name, he died from a silver needle. The needle was laced with Antiaris. Yang Muzhi sighed and shook his head. Another life.

The trail was cut off again. Lu Xiaofeng and Jin Jiu Ling looked at each other. One went into the parlor to see if anyone had come out, while the other went in the direction of the needle to chase after the culprit.

Yang Muzhi stayed where he was and rubbed the needle. No one knew what he was thinking. Hua Manlou pulled him up and ordered the servants to dispose of Kantai's body.

The servants asked if they should put the body in the temporary mourning hall like the servant who died a few days ago. Hua Manlou didn't know why, but he suddenly thought of Yuan Fei, whose death was unknown. He frowned and said, "Put the body of Hero Yuan in the temporary mourning hall first … Find someone to take care of his remains."
