Chapter 545: Test
Time passed, and an hour later, Lu Le and a group of people hurried back to the room.
After meeting Meng Zhao, he first saluted, and then put a flower cloth on the table in front of Meng Zhao, saying,
"Young Master, you have found out that the person who poisoned it was the chef of the kitchen in the original village, Mrs. Qi Wang. There were five hundred taels of silver in this package, which was the bribe that she had bought her and the remaining poison that had not been destroyed. Half a bottle of residual, please click on it."
Meng Zhao had originally closed his eyes and calmed his mind, breathing in his heart. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and glanced at the package on the table with a quiet calmness, but he completely calmed down and disappeared from the previous manic murderous intent. He signaled Lu Le to open the package. He glanced at it and said with a smile,
"Interestingly, I will buy my life for five hundred taels. Is my Meng Zhao's life so worthless?"
But Lu Le didn't laugh, his expression was still serious, even cold, and he clasped his fists,
"Young master, that's not the case. The little slave interrogated the cook just now. She said that this medicine cannot cause death, it will only cause drowsiness and mental fatigue. She also thought that the man dared not to murder the young master, so she boldly did such a thing as to blame the master."
Meng Zhao was not surprised. This kind of woman in the kitchen was frivolous and stupid, short-sighted, and deceived. However, he thought of something,
"Have you ever interrogated the person behind the scenes?"
"I asked for some things. According to what she said, she had previously embezzled the capital she bought in the manor and was exposed and threatened. She had to surrender to a mysterious person, provide him with information and did a lot of things.
Earlier, she was forced to do nothing, but later she was gradually bought. Even her son, under the arrangement of the mysterious man, went to a large gang called the Iron Hand Society in the inner city to do things.
She guessed that the person who threatened her was probably a senior executive of the Iron Hand Society. Because of the conditions for drugging her this time, in addition to the five hundred taels of silver, the other party also promised to promote and reuse her son."
"The little slave has also checked that the son of King Qi was originally the Zhuang Ding of the Zhuangzi. He followed the guards on the farm and only learned a few rough fists and feet, and had not practiced internal skills, so he was not considered a warrior.
Later, he left Zhuangzi and joined the Iron Hand Club, and was promoted very quickly. Now he is a small leader, with dozens of people under his command. With his ability, it should be the result of someone taking care of him."
"Is there any other news? For example, are there anyone else in this village like her?"
What Meng Zhao wants to do most now is not to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, but to first eliminate internal troubles and stabilize the foundation before considering revenge.
Lu Le nodded,
"She said there should be, because every time she passes messages, she vaguely feels that someone is following and surveillance. Although there is no evidence, she has the intuition, and she is the person in Zhuangzi.
She also said the names of several suspects. The little slave had sent someone to take them all. She is waiting outside the door now. Master, should you interrogate yourself?"
"Okay, let them come in together, I have something to ask them."
Meng Zhao said, and got up and packed the remaining Sansu cakes on the table into a plate and put them on hand. Lu Le shouted, and someone walked into the house outside the door with four black-clad warriors.
There are four suspects. According to Lu Le, they are all manor warriors recruited in Lingwu City several years ago. They look ordinary and nothing special.
Because they were unloaded their weapons and were imprisoned for a while, the four of them looked a little frightened. After seeing the master Meng Zhao, they were even more scared and didn't know what they were about to face.
Meng Zhao smiled and spoke first,
"Everyone, don't be afraid. Before, a thief broke into the farm and stole a treasure from my hand, and left calmly. I suspected that someone had colluded with foreign enemies, so I ordered people to block the farm and let everyone not run around.
Now that you have found the guy who is trampling on the inside, your suspicion has been cleared. This plate of three vegetarian cakes will be given to you as a shock. At the same time, each person will reward you with twenty taels of silver to repay your hard work."
As he said that, Meng Zhao pointed at the plate containing the three-su cake with his right index finger. Lu Le nodded, stepped on the front and walked slowly to the four people who were half kneeling on the ground, his eyes full of scrutiny.
Among the four, two of them had a soothing expression, feeling relieved, and a smile appeared on the corners of their mouths. Obviously there was no problem.
One of them looked hesitant, as if he was suspicious that Meng Zhao's words were lying to them. He should be just being cautious and smart enough, and there was no big problem.
Another person had a sharp change in his face and a cold sweat in his head, especially the qi in his body changed, and he seemed to want to do something.
In fact, at this time, without Meng Zhao saying anything, Lu Le could directly see who was having a problem.
Turning around, he gently put the dining plate on the table, then moves his body and falls in front of the man like a tiger. He presses it with one hand, as if the sky is overturned, and the momentum is great.
The guilty man was prepared to use his skills and was ready to take a desperate attack. Seeing this, he leaned back his upper body and shook a short dagger with a cold light under his right rib, stabbing Lu Le's throat, which was hidden in his arms.
Lu Le was very skilled in martial arts. He was trained by Lu Zhong earlier and later followed Meng Zhao. He was often guided. He even took the treasures with the qualifications for change, and his cultivation was almost complete.
Facing the sudden dagger, he remained calm in the face of danger, and his moves changed suddenly. His four fingers were concave and single fingers came out. A ball of Hunyuan inner breath condensed on his fingers, as hard as steel, and the dagger that burst out directly hit him and was knocked away.
The next moment, the person with a guilty heart was sealed by Lu Le, and several large acupoints in front of his chest and behind him. His qi and meridians were locked, and his strength could not be used at all. Lu Le hated him for being scattered inside and out, and was so bold that he was so cruel in front of Meng Zhao that he dislocated his arms and kicked him to the ground with one kick.
This shocking change, in just a few breaths, the other three people kneeling on the ground and the guards standing at the door of the big house were stunned and could not understand what was going on.
"Okay, you guys go there first. I will give you the money I mentioned before. As for this plate of Sanyu cake, you will not be blessed to endure it."
Following Meng Zhao's instructions, the three of them could only leave in a hurry with doubts and fear.
The person who stayed was gritting his teeth, enduring the severe pain caused by his arms, staring at Lu Le, as if he wanted to kill someone with his eyes?
Meng Zhao asked the people at the door to guard the door outside and closed it, and then said to the captured person.
"You don't look like a stupid person, but what you do is a stupid thing. I really don't understand what method the man used to bribe you and make you rather betray the Meng family than surrender to the other party.
But it doesn't matter. What's important now is what you should do to save your life.
