Chapter 936: Poisoned, Not Long to Live

After meeting with the chief steward, Mu Yiguan Mu was invited to look at the prescriptions and medical records.

Chen Guanlou was left in the side room, and he decisively asked: "How is the old lady's condition? The wind is blowing and the cranes are calling, it doesn't look simple."

The chief steward stared at him for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Can this old man trust you?"

Chen Guanlou:...

"You old man let me do so many shady things, and now you ask me if I can trust you. Chief Steward, isn't this question a bit too late, it hurts people's hearts!

It can't be that the old lady is seriously ill this time because of Mu Yiguan Mu. Absolutely impossible! I have been with old Mu for so many years, I dare not say 100% what kind of person he is, at least I have 90% certainty to guarantee that he is not the kind of person you think."

Chen Guanlou said sonorously.

Although he didn't know the old lady's condition, he could guess from the situation, it was bad! Very bad! Maybe the eldest master couldn't escape the fate of returning to the capital this year.

That is really God standing on Emperor Jian Shi's side.

In this day and age, filial piety is not just talk.

A stepmother is also a mother, a stepmother is also a mother!

Once the old lady passes away, if the eldest master dares not return to the capital to observe filial piety for the reason of official business, immediately, his reputation and even the reputation of the Marquis's mansion will stink, the kind that stinks for three miles in the wind.

Personal reputation and prestige will all be buried because of this matter. After that, if he wants to call on the noble group, it is absolutely impossible. It is even possible that the soldiers under his command will rebel against him.

After all, the Great Qian Dynasty is far from the point of setting sun, and it will collapse tomorrow.

With Xie Gechen and his band of paper-pasters, the great ship of Great Gan can still be patched up and continue to sail.

"This old man did not suspect Mu Yiguan Mu, and the heir did not suspect either." After a moment of hesitation, the chief steward said again: "This old man might as well tell you, the old lady was poisoned!"

"What?" Chen Guanlou was astonished. "The old lady, poisoned in the Marquis's mansion? Not joking?"

"How could such a thing be a joke. A third-class maid in the old lady's courtyard died, and the maid's family also died. You say this matter... alas, this old man didn't expect it either, guarding against this and that all day long, didn't expect that the problem would be the person in the old lady's courtyard, and it was an inconspicuous little girl. Who could have thought of it!"

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue secretly. "So, you invited Mu Yiguan Mu over, is it to detoxify and treat the illness, or to investigate?"

"Both! The poison on the old lady was solved as soon as it was discovered. However, as you said, the old lady is old and has experienced poisoning, her body is only... I'm afraid she won't last long. Inviting Mu Yiguan Mu over, one is to ask if there were any abnormal situations in the past month. Second, I hope Mu Yiguan Mu has the ability to save the old lady."

Chen Guanlou nodded clearly. "Have you investigated the maid who poisoned? A little maid, where did the poison come from, who is the accomplice, who is the mastermind? Poisoning, a little maid can't get out of the mansion, it's impossible to complete it independently."

"Naturally investigated! The servants in the old lady's courtyard, whether maids or servants, including the big maid who served closely, were all arrested and interrogated one by one. Currently, no useful news has been asked. You don't need to worry about this matter, since you are here today, just in case, you need to make a trip to the eldest master's place yourself."

The chief steward made a request.

Chen Guanlou asked directly: "What do I need to do?"

"The eldest master's side, including the Marquis's mansion here, must have many people staring at it, and some words are not easy to pass. But you are different, this world except for Grandmasters, as long as you deliberately hide, no one can find your trace."

Chen Guanlou understood in his heart.

The Marquis's mansion is preparing for the old lady's funeral.

No matter if the old lady can live or not, whether she can break through this death hurdle, everything that should be prepared must be prepared.

There are some things here that cannot see the light, such as the armed forces raised by the Marquis's mansion outside, which must not appear in public.

However, once the old lady passes away, the eldest master has to return to the capital to observe filial piety, and those forces that cannot see the light are very necessary to show off to deter some people and forces who are ready to move. The grasp of the proportions here, the heir Chen Guanfu must ask the eldest master before he can make a decision.

There are other arrangements, human relationships in the court, whether to move, and how to move.

Are the relationships in the palace also to be moved...

Chaotic, thousands of threads, many and complicated things.

Among them, many things need the eldest master to make up his mind.

Because, some people outside only recognize the eldest master, not Chen Guanfu. Unless Chen Guanfu inherits the title and can hold the Marquis's mansion, and deal with the Emperor.

People outside choose to cooperate with the Marquis's mansion, also to see strength. It's not just relying on ancestors to succeed!

This is why there are so many noble families in the capital who clearly have titles but are called broken households.

The person in charge of the family can't support the family business, what is it if it's not a broken household?

It's nothing more than relying on the accumulation of ancestors, and can still live a rich life for decades. As for being noble, hehe, it can't be noble! Rich and noble, rich and noble, just rich is useless. If you don't restore the glory of your ancestors, the person in charge of the family is not successful, and sooner or later you will be bullied to death! Seizing their money is just a trivial matter!

"When to set off?" Chen Guanlou naturally would not refuse, he would contribute when the Marquis's mansion needed it.

"Best today!"

"Okay!" Chen Guanlou agreed.

Before leaving, he met Mu Yiguan Mu. "You should know the old lady's physical condition. Are you sure?"

Mu Yiguan Mu shook his head. "The King of Hell wants people to die at the third watch, even if this old man can keep people until the fifth watch, it is only the fifth watch." People who should die will die sooner or later, this is fate, not controlled by people.

Chen Guanlou nodded clearly. "Remember to keep it secret, don't reveal a word. I am very busy these days, I have to stay in the Marquis's mansion to help, and I won't go to the Heavenly Prison to serve. If you have anything, put it aside for now, and talk about it after I'm busy."

Mu Yiguan Mu guessed from his words that he might be leaving the capital. But he knew the rules and didn't pursue it, only saying: "Don't worry, Lord, this old man has served for decades and knows what to do. You just get busy, the Marquis's mansion's affairs are important."

That day, Chen Guanlou carried a piece of luggage, left the capital, and went straight to the Northwest.

Familiar with the road.

Arrived at the Central Army Camp in the middle of the night, straight to the commander's tent!

The personal guards on guard were very alert and opened their eyes instantly. "Who?"

Although Chen Guanlou was not seen, no one was seen, but the personal guard's intuition was very sharp, feeling that there seemed to be a little more in the tent.

"All retreat!"

Marquis Pingjiang woke up from a light sleep and dismissed the left and right.

The candle was lit, and Chen Guanlou walked out of the darkness.

"The eldest master dismissed the left and right so lightly, aren't you afraid that I was sent by the enemy?"

"This old man knew you were coming early."

Marquis Pingjiang sat up from the bed. "They sent you here, could it be that something happened to the old lady again?"

"So the person who sent the letter hasn't arrived yet."

"The person who sent the letter relies on foot power and horse power, how can it compare to your speed of traveling. Tell me, what happened to the old lady?"

"Poisoned! Not long to live!" ===== CHAPTER 937 =====
