Nonsense, they definitely wouldn't accept money with insults in it. Otherwise, where would they put their faces?
However, it was a good thing that they didn't receive it …
Of course, if Madam Niu and Madam Luo were a little more generous, they would give them five to six thousand taels of gold and smash them with that gold …
Chen Mu Mu Mu felt that she wouldn't so easily chase him out.
Therefore, it was still the fault of Madam Niu and Madam Luo that they were too stingy, so stingy that even the heavens could not stand to watch.
Madam Li shared the same thought as Chen Mu Mu, both of their expressions were strange.
"Let's put this matter at an end for now. Since it has already happened, there's no point in overthinking it." Lu Jinfeng said.
"The government will inform us that the case is progressing." Madam Li was also a little helpless.
"At this point, we should no longer have any suspicions." Chen Ergou said.
The reason the constables searched the entire family was because Lu Daquan's family was already dead, and Lu Jinfeng's family had the most motive to kill them.
Right now, not only Lu Daquan's family had died, so many people had also died. This method was not something that the Lu Daquan family could accomplish.
Besides, the constables had not been able to find anything in their homes.
"Not necessarily." Chen Mu Mu Mu wasn't as optimistic as he was, "Maybe the search was just the beginning, I don't believe that they would search our home for no reason before finding out about the police case. They should have some other purpose. "
"One step at a time, there's no other way." Lu Jinfeng said.
"Then that's it." "Although this is our guess, the truth might not be as we guessed, so we might follow in the footsteps of the Lu Daquan family. We have to be more careful in the next few days."
Pausing, Madam Li hesitated and said, "Why don't we go out and hide for a few days? Come back when the crisis is over? "
When this suggestion was made, it was immediately rejected by everyone.
Lu Jinfeng said: "Mother, is this fortune or fate, there is no way to avoid it. Those people are ruthless and have a lot of information, if they had the intention to kill us, even if we escape to the ends of the earth, we would not be able to avoid a tragedy, so we might as well stay and watch."
"They are cruel. We might not be chickens waiting to be slaughtered." Chen Mu Mu's pupils darkened as a trace of viciousness flitted across his eyes. "Mother, don't worry. It's good that they didn't come. If they did, I'll capture the culprit and calm my heart."
Although her martial arts were lacking, her brain was.
She could still deal with outsiders who barged into her private house.
Wasn't there a saying: "Two fists cannot fight four feet, while a good man can't beat an expert, and an expert can't defeat poison and mechanisms?"
If those people dared to come, she would make them unable to return!
When Lu Jinfeng and the Madam Li saw her confidence, they calmed down a little. However, they were not sure and asked: "Are you sure you can do it?"
"Those people are all martial arts experts." Chen Ergou reminded them, "Little sister, I'm afraid you can't even beat one of them."
"My martial arts can at least stall for some time." Lu Jinfeng clenched his teeth, "Believe her, if it really isn't possible, I will stall for time, all of you better quickly escape."
"No need to be so brave." Chen Mu Mu found the situation hilarious. "Sometimes, when you're fighting, you might not use your fists, but here."
Chen Mu Mu Mu pointed at his own brain as he spoke, "A great army cannot defeat a commander who knows how to scheme. A great army cannot defeat a great commander who knows how to scheme.
"You sure know how to praise yourself." Lu Jinfeng found it a little funny as he looked at her, "Since you're so confident, we'll wait and see.
"Alright." Chen Mu Mu nodded. "I will definitely protect all of you."
Actually... Could she say that she wasn't full of confidence?
Those people are vicious, I am in the dark, nothing can be 100% certain of victory.
However, she couldn't possibly voice her unease and let everyone else worry as well, right?
Morale was especially important. Without it, he would be defeated before the enemy even arrived.
Furthermore, she had a bit of confidence.
Other than mechanisms and poisons, she also had a trump card — — gambling.
Betting that some people would not let Lu Jinfeng die and protect them from the shadows.
It was a gamble that the people behind the scenes would run away after getting the money. They would be under the watch of the officials and not cause trouble again.
After all, they did not take the gold and jewels, nor did they really offend those people.
In the following day, Chen Mu Mu Mu was in charge of leading, Chen Ergou and Lu Jinfeng were in charge of setting up the organs, and even the Madam Li was using his crutches to help them.
Everyone focused on working together. After a day, they would look at the set up hidden mechanism and poison bureau and unconsciously feel a bit more confident.
Chen Ergou said: "Little sister, I never expected you to have this kind of ability, I feel that it is really flawless, even if a fly flew in, it would have to fly away."
Lu Jinfeng's eyes carried a bit of appreciation as he said, "Chen Mu Mu Mu, you're right.
Chen Mu Mu didn't think that he had much ability. After all, she had only read about hidden mechanisms and hidden weapons from books. As such, she wasn't proficient in them, so it wasn't a given that she would be able to subdue the other party successfully.
However, looking at the prepared hidden mechanisms and weapons, as well as the poison pits, he still felt a sense of accomplishment after a day of hard work.
Madam Li nodded his head in satisfaction, but there was still a hint of worry in his eyes: "This is a matter of life and death, we cannot afford to be careless. We won't sleep tonight. Let's wait for daybreak. "
No one had any objections to this suggestion.
Thus, after extinguishing the lights, the family of four squatted in the dark and stared unblinkingly at the yard, afraid that they would miss something and lose their lives.
However, the truth was as Chen Mu Mu had guessed. Who would want their lives?
They sat on the ground until dawn, not even seeing a rat.
But even so, Lu Jinfeng, Madam Li Chen Mu and the rest were still worried, in the following period of time, they moved to the same courtyard.
Then, a pleasant surprise happened.
That day, just as everyone fell asleep, there was a commotion in the yard.
As Lu Daquan's family and his relatives were suffering, even though they were asleep, their sleep was shallow. As soon as the wind blew, they would wake up.
Madam Li woke Chen Mu, and Lu Jinfeng woke Chen Ergou up. At almost the same time, everyone gathered together from the hidden door that was already prepared a long time ago.
"Someone broke in." Lu Jinfeng said, "Your martial arts are not bad."
"There are quite a few people." Chen Ergou held onto the main mechanism, with a bit of imposing courage in his eyes, he stared at the group of black figures that descended from the sky and hatefully said, "But it doesn't matter, with Grandfather here, I will definitely make them suffer!"
"Protect your mother to prevent any fish from escaping the net." Chen Mu told Lu Jinfeng, and distributed the antidote to the others, then went to the drawer and took out the medicine's fragrance that was already prepared and lit it, "This fragrance has a hallucinating effect, after absorbing it, the first thing you see is an illusion, and when the incense is large, you will be able to put the person down."
There was also a poison array formation in the courtyard, when the uninvited guests barged in, Chen Mu Mu had Chen Ergou activate it.
Tens of thousands of sharpened bamboo and concealed weapons swooped down on those assassins. At the same time, poison was sprinkled under the eaves of the houses around them.
However, the courtyard was spacious and extremely ventilated. The effects of the poison weren't very strong, so some people could avoid it.
Those people were very skilled in martial arts, and they could easily dodge hidden weapons.
Thus, after a few more trials, there were still three or four shadows that rushed towards the house.
"You guys hide in the shadows, I'll attack them." Lu Jinfeng said, "I'm afraid that you won't be able to accomplish it with just your medicinal powder and fragrance."
Hearing that, Chen Mu also felt that it was reasonable. Rather than letting Lu Jinfeng guard the Madam Li, it was better to take advantage of the time when people inhaled the incense and push them down while they were unconscious.
"Alright, be careful."
The truth proved that Chen Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng were worrying too much.
This was because the assassins who had survived had just opened the door and were covered by the illusion of incense. Before they could even react, they all fell to the ground.
Lu Jinfeng didn't even have the chance to make a move.
No one moved. They waited until the yard became completely quiet before they went out to tie up the people with ropes.
Chen Ergou counted the people and said with a sigh: "Twelve people came in, five died, three fainted from injuries, four fainted because of poison."
"At least I caught these people." The Madam Li said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, we haven't relaxed in the past few days. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to hide tonight."
The three of them had different expressions, but it was obvious that they were a lot more relaxed. The Madam Li revealed a smile and said, "You are tired too, but at least you have avenged Lu Daquan and the others today. Hand these people over to the officials, and we will be safe from now on."
"It's better if everyone is optimistic." Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu stared at the fallen bodies, "We cannot allow any accidents to happen before the government arrives to retrieve our men."
After a pause, he said, "Check their teeth. All the poisonous ones have been extracted."
Lu Jinfeng, "..."
Chen Ergou, "..."
Madam Li was also stunned, "There is even a saying that poisons are hidden in one's teeth?"
"They will. If they fail the professional killer mission, they will take the poison and commit suicide. Before we find out the truth, we can't let them die." "Unfortunately, I was afraid something might have happened. The medicine I applied was very heavy, and after these people took the sleeping pill, they probably wouldn't be able to wake up for two to three days."
"But after daybreak, he will definitely be handed over to the government." Lu Jinfeng looked at the dead bodies, "Otherwise, I would not be able to account for these corpses."
"That's the only way." Chen Mu felt unwillingness in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
Chen Ergou stared at Chen Mu Mu with a stupefied face. After hesitating for a while, he could not help but ask, "Little girl, are you really my little sister?"
He was starting to suspect that his sister had grown up in the eyes of him, and he knew exactly what sort of virtue his sister had.
Since when had his sister been able to read and do business?
Since when did his sister know how to identify medicinal herbs to create poison?
Since when did his sister become so proficient in hidden weapons that not even so many assassins could shake them at all?
Was the person before him really his younger sister, Chen Mu?
Or maybe, if they had the same surname and the same face … Counterfeit?
