Chapter 935: Silencing and Muzzling

It was already the third watch!

The monk Jueneng, who won the scripture debate, had not yet fallen asleep. He was still reviewing today's scripture debate, only to see his brows tightly furrowed, as if there were many things he couldn't understand.

"This shouldn't be!"

With Pure Yang Zhenren's ability, he shouldn't have lost so abruptly and so quickly!

Going into trouble is a reason.

It's just that, for Pure Yang Zhenren, who has been famous for a long time and has seen all kinds of big scenes, why would it be like this?

He couldn't figure it out!

The next day, someone from the palace came to summon him to enter the palace to see the Emperor.

Baoguo Temple was happy and joyful.

The monk Jueneng's keen sixth sense made him feel that this trip to the palace was probably not very good.

After he entered the palace, he stayed for three consecutive days.

The day he left the palace, it felt like a lifetime away.

Suddenly, he understood all the previous questions.

Why Pure Yang Zhenren lost, why he lost so abruptly, and why he announced seclusion as soon as he returned to Yuquan Palace, and it was a dead seclusion. He understood everything.

Self-defilement to avoid disaster!

Hahaha...

He thought he was the winner, but he didn't know that he was actually a part of someone else's calculation.

Still too young!

He even vaguely guessed that Chen Guanlou had a hand in this, but he didn't pursue it.

He had to concentrate all his energy to deal with the current situation.

Chen Guanlou watched for two days and then relaxed.

Humming a little tune, drinking a little wine, how happy.

Mu Yiguan Mu successfully completed the task and returned.

The old lady of the Marquis's mansion recovered, could eat and drink, and it seemed that living for another three to five years was not a problem. The crisis of the Marquis's mansion was lifted, the eldest master didn't need to return to the capital to observe filial piety, and continued to be outside, the emperor's orders were not accepted!

Emperor Jian Shi was currently concentrating his strength to deal with the Prince of Chu, listened to Xie Changling's suggestion, and temporarily shelved the Northwest. After killing the Prince of Chu, he would discuss the Northwest and the stay of Marquis Pingjiang.

It seems that the world is peaceful.

Unfortunately, peace never lasts long.

A few days after Mu Yiguan Mu returned, the old lady of the Marquis's mansion suddenly fell ill again.

The Marquis's mansion invited a doctor to check, and there was a suspicion of poisoning.

That night, in the old lady's courtyard, a third-class tea maid hanged herself. The chief steward made a decisive decision and sent someone to investigate the maid's home, but it was a step late. The maid's parents both died, and they were hanged in the room. The maid's brothers and sisters also did not escape.

Silencing!

Muzzling!

The problem is very serious!

The heir Chen Guanfu immediately ordered to seal the Marquis's mansion, seal the streets and alleys around the Marquis's mansion, and not allow outsiders to step in. All members of the Chen clan, including the slaves born in the house, one by one, must be investigated.

The life and death of the old lady is related to the survival of the Marquis's mansion, and he dared not be negligent at all.

When Chen Guanlou got off work and went home, he saw young clansmen patrolling the alley, as if he had returned to the winter when the Marquis's mansion fought against Jiang Tu.

He asked someone and found out that the old lady of the Marquis's mansion had fallen ill again.

The old lady was poisoned, the Marquis's mansion sealed the news and didn't spread it. Everyone thought the old lady had eaten something bad and fell ill.

Chen Guanlou pondered for a while and went to Master Du's house first.

His face is a pass, and in the territory of the Marquis's mansion, it is naturally unobstructed, and no one dares to stop him.

Successfully arrived at Master Du's house.

Because the old lady fell ill again, the clan school also stopped classes.

Master Du sighed at him. "Everything was fine, why did she fall ill again! Fortunately, the weather is getting warmer, I think she should recover soon this time."

"Do you believe it? The outside is full of wind and cranes, but the master is so optimistic."

Chen Guanlou ate peanuts. Although he didn't know what happened specifically, judging from the reaction of the Marquis's mansion, it must be much more serious than the last illness.

"What if I'm not optimistic?" Master Du looked worried. He was promoted by the eldest master, and only then did he have a good life today. His son and grandson followed the Marquis's mansion, which could be considered a future.

He even thought about whether to move the whole family to the capital and slowly operate with the Marquis's mansion as his backer. In the end, he was reluctant to leave his hometown, so he didn't take this step.

At this moment, he was more anxious and worried than anyone else, for fear that something might happen to the old lady of the Marquis's mansion, which would affect the eldest master's future, and then affect the future of the Marquis's mansion.

"You're still eating? As a member of the Chen clan, don't you know how to contribute and share some of it." Master Du scolded angrily.

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows. "I'm a big man, I can't serve the old lady, and there is no one I need to kill. What am I doing if I don't eat? Sighing with you, starving? Could it be that if you starve, the old lady will get better?"

"Aren't you worried at all?" Master Du didn't understand.

Chen Guanlou took a sip of wine. "Nothing to worry about. The old lady is old, and there will be such a day sooner or later. The old lady fell ill twice in a short period of time, the Marquis's mansion should take the opportunity to make full preparations, don't pin your hopes on some unrealistic fantasies."

"This is not the time! The eldest master is leading troops to fight in the Northwest, this... if something happens to the old lady at this time, the eldest master has to return to the capital to observe filial piety, what should we do? At that time, wouldn't the Marquis's mansion become a lamb to be slaughtered."

Master Du was worried, more worried than Chen Guanlou, a genuine member of the Chen clan.

"If the Marquis's mansion is really so weak, it deserves to be slaughtered." Chen Guanlou said indifferently. "However, conversely, do you really think the Marquis's mansion is so weak? Such a weak Marquis's mansion, why should other noble families be convinced? Why listen to the orders of the Marquis's mansion? You, you are worrying about nothing!"

Master Du was speechless.

Think about it carefully, it seems that he is indeed worrying about nothing.

He asked eagerly, "According to what you said, even if the old lady is really gone, even if the eldest master is recalled to the capital, it doesn't matter?"

Chen Guanlou ate a peanut and took a sip of wine. "There will definitely be an impact, but with the foundation of the Marquis's mansion, I believe it can pass the hurdle smoothly. You have to have confidence in the eldest master."

Master Du nodded slowly, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. Barely calmed down!

The next day, Mu Yiguan Mu ran to Chen Guanlou and complained. "The old lady of the Marquis's mansion fell ill again, and the Marquis's mansion asked this old man to go over and ask questions. What does this mean, suspecting that this old man did something? This old man has seen ten thousand patients, if not one thousand, in these years, and this is the first time I have encountered such a thing. I knew it, don't deal with noble families, this money is not easy to earn."

He complained a lot, mainly because the Marquis's mansion seemed to be questioning his medical skills, which made him very unhappy.

Chen Guanlou immediately stated his position. "I will accompany you to the Marquis's mansion. Let's make it clear face to face. The old lady fell ill for the second time, if the Marquis's mansion allows it, you can help take a look and see what the situation is."

"This old man will never suffer this bird's anger. From now on, I will never go to the Marquis's mansion to see a doctor."

Chen Guanlou knew that Mu Yiguan Mu was angry, so he could only try his best to appease him and accompany him to the Marquis's mansion.

The atmosphere of the Marquis's mansion was much heavier than the last time.

Mu Yiguan Mu whispered: "Is the old lady's condition really very serious?"

"I don't know." Chen Guanlou said truthfully, the Marquis's mansion seemed to have deliberately blocked some news this time.

"When you see the people of the Marquis's mansion later, you must speak for this old man. If it weren't for your face, this old man wouldn't have come to the Marquis's mansion to see a doctor."

"Don't worry, I will definitely stand on your side. I trust your medical skills!" Chen Guanlou promised. ===== CHAPTER 936 =====
