    Chapter 214

    Mu Wanqing was also taken aback, how could Cuiyun Nunnery suddenly catch fire?

    As far as she knew, although Mrs. Du was sent to Cuiyun Nunnery, she brought eight maids, eight old maids, eight young servants, and a team of guards, all of whom protected her and served her.

    Apart from not being able to go out, her food and clothing are the same as before, and the Du residence sends her fresh goodies from time to time.

    Cuiyun Nunnery is not open to the outside world, the door is closed, and no contact with the outside world.

    "Du Shaoxuan, hurry up."

    Du Shaoxuan blankly took two steps out, and then he couldn't move anymore. "My legs are weak, give me a hand."

    After all, he was his biological mother, and he loved his mother so much that his heart was completely chaotic.

    Mu Wanqing could understand his mood at this time, and stepped forward to support his arm, "I'll accompany you there."

    The group hurried to Cuiyun Nunnery, Du Shaoxuan couldn't ride the horse, and was held in the carriage by Mu Wanqing.

    Along the way, he was extremely anxious.

    When we arrived, the fire had been extinguished, and we saw the ruins and ruins.

    The Du family guards are cleaning up the scene.

    Du Shaoxuan jumped out of the carriage and asked anxiously, "Where is my mother? Has my mother rescued her?"

    The guards knelt down in front of him, feeling extremely guilty, "Young Commander, we haven't found the lady yet."

    Du Shaoxuan looked at the burnt Cuiyun Nunnery, his face was as pale as paper, and his head was blank.

    Mu Wanqing didn't want to get involved in the Du family's affairs, but seeing that Du Shaoxuan had no masters at the moment, she simply helped.

    "What do you mean by not finding Mrs.? Where was she when the fire was on? What about the people around her? It stands to reason that she is not away from people. She is protected by a guard with strong martial arts, who can protect her as soon as the incident occurs."

    "It happened in Mao Shi, when the madam hadn't got up yet..." The guard said with a guilty face.

    This time is when the kitchen is busy, and when the smoke is just coming out, no one cares.

    The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and when they went back and wanted to bring Madam Du out, Madam Du's yard was also on fire...

    Mu Wanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, this was clearly intentional arson, and she also shifted the focus, leading everyone's eyes to the kitchen first.

    "How many people are there in Mrs. Du's yard? None of them came out?"

    "Only a few maids escaped, two old maids."

    Mu Wanqing took a deep breath, "Let's go, show us."

    The sound of the hooves sounded, and Mu Wanqing turned her head to look, only to see two carriages surrounded by them.

    The front carriage has the mark of the Dufu.

    Sure enough, as soon as the carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and a pale and thin man stepped down.

    "Father handsome."

    "Du Shuai."

    Du Shuai's eyes filled with anxiety, "Where's Yu Niang? Where is she?"

    "Du Shuai, Madam, she..." The guard hesitated, "She was not rescued."

    Du Shuai's body shook and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

    "Father handsome." Du Shaoxuan hurriedly supported him.

    The Du family sisters got off the second carriage, and their faces changed drastically when they heard this, "What do you mean, nothing will happen, my mother? I'm going to see her now."

    The guard lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

    Du Shaoxuan said softly, "Let's go first."

    In front of the burnt down main courtyard, several servants knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, constantly calling out to Madam. The scene was very miserable.

    "Xing'er, hurry up, where's Madam?"

    One of the servants turned around, with tears all over his face, "Du Shuai, young master, eldest miss, I didn't protect my wife well..."

    During the conversation, several charred corpses were carried out, and one of the corpses had a jade pendant hanging around its neck.

    Du Shuai grabbed the jade pendant and wiped the dust off it. The familiar words came into view, exquisite and auspicious.

    Big tears fell on the jade pendant. Linglong was the nickname he gave to his wife. This jade pendant was their love, and Mrs. Du stayed with her for a moment.

    "I'm sorry for her. I knew she liked the fun, but I exiled her to the deserted Cuiyun Nunnery. I hurt her. I promised to protect her for the rest of my life, but I..."

    There was a piercing pain in my heart.

    When a person dies, all the bad things in life are forgotten, only her beauty is remembered.

    Not to mention they have so many fond memories.

    The eyes of the Du family's siblings were red. No matter how bad Mrs. Du was, she truly loved her husband and children.

    The scene was shrouded in thick sadness, and suddenly, a voice sounded, "This is not Mrs. Du."

    Everyone looked at it in unison. It was Mu Wanqing, who was squatting next to the corpse to take a closer look.

    Du Shaoxuan was dubious when others said this, but he completely believed what Mu Wanqing said.

    "How did you see it?"

    Mu Wanqing looked indifferent, "The bone age of the corpse should be around twenty-five years old."

    Du Shaoxuan's eyes brightened, "Are you sure?"

    "Sure." Mu Wanqing's tone was decisive.

    Du Shaoxuan stood up abruptly, "Father, this is not right, how could my mother's jade pendant be on someone else's neck?"

    They are all battle-hardened characters who were dazzled by grief before, but now their minds are clear, and many thoughts come to mind.

    Du Shuai's face was extremely bad, and he ordered coldly. "Immediately block all levels, and strictly check pedestrians and vehicles."

    Dare to hit the Du family's head, then let them go back and forth.

    "Send all the soldiers to separate ways, and dig three feet in the ground to find people."

    After that, Mu Wanqing didn't take part in it, and went back to the city to watch the every move of the two missions. At the same time, new products appeared frequently, and they changed patterns every day, determined to empty people's wallets.

    Hu Tu suddenly came over, "Qingping County Lord, let's talk about opening the shopping mall together."

    "Okay." Mu Wanqing pointed to the seat opposite, and said casually, "Where's your Agudamu? Are you still shopping outside?"

    Hu Tu's expression froze, but he recovered quickly and joked with a smile, "Why are you interested in a bodyguard?"

    "The first time we met him, he managed to get my attention." Mu Wanqing said vaguely, "A big beard can't cover up his own... bearing."

    "You're really joking, what kind of bearing does a guard have?"

    Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, "If my conditions are acceptable, then sign the agreement."

    Hu Tu said directly, "I want 80% of the profit."

    There is no way to know the reserve price of the purchase price, so the profit is simply re-divided.

    Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, "You pay all the money?"

    "No, yes..." Before Hu Tu could finish his words, there was a commotion outside.

    "Qingping County Lord, help." The voice was extremely shrill.

    Mu Wanqing was drinking tea, her hands were shaking, and a few drops of tea splashed, "Who is making a noise outside?"

    "It's the maid of the Du family."

    There was a flash of thought in Mu Wanqing's eyes, and she waved her hand to let people in, but the maid refused to come in, so she knelt outside and kept kowtow.

    Her movement attracted a lot of onlookers, Mu Wanqing frowned, and walked out slowly, looking down at the maid who had smashed her head.

    This is Mrs. Du's maid, called Shiqin, who survived this time.

    However, when something happened to Mrs. Du, her personal maid would also suffer.

    "Qingping County Lord, please save my wife."

    Mu Wanqing didn't want to ask anything, and didn't want to take responsibility for her, "I don't know where Du Shuai and his son are? Find someone to take her there."

    Shiqin's head was bleeding, but she refused to leave, "Qingping county magistrate, the bandits who robbed his wife want to see you and say that the negotiator must be you."

    It turned out that Du Shuai and his son intercepted the robbers in time at the pass, but the other party took Mrs. Du's life and asked Du Shuai and his son to throw a mouse at the sword.

    Mu Wanqing couldn't help rolling her eyes and cursed inwardly.

    In fact, she is very concerned about Madam Du's whereabouts, and it's okay if she dies, but falling into the hands of someone with a heart will bring huge trouble to the Du family.

    If something happens to the Du family, Xiliang will also be turbulent.

    Now is the ideal situation. The Du family is in charge of border control and security, and she is in charge of governance and infrastructure.

    She looked at Shi Qin deeply, "Did Shuai Du told you to do this?"

    Shiqin lowered her head, "...Yes."

    The boss has an order, and the subordinate can't refuse it, not to mention a human life is involved.

    In front of so many people, Mu Wanqing couldn't say no, if something happened to Mrs. Du, she would inevitably be angered and accused by countless people.

    Although she wasn't afraid, she didn't have to.

    "Since it's what Du Shuai meant, let's go and bring the Wind Team with you."

    The Wind Team is her women's special team, with a strong fighting force.

    If there is an ambush, it will be wiped out directly. As long as you don't leave the Xiliang area, there is nothing to fear.

    She traveled with a mighty crowd, and to her surprise, there was no ambush on the way.

    Before Fuhu Pass, the two teams confronted each other, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

    There are a large number of people on one side, and one side holds the trump card in his hand, and he has nothing to fear.

    Suddenly, the sound of hooves rattled, and a group of female knights in blue came gallantly, and they were all surrounded by an ordinary-looking carriage.

    However, the carriage has the mark of the main mansion of Qingping County.

    Du Shaoxuan's face changed.

    The carriage slowly approached, and the curtain was lifted, revealing a beautiful face.

    Du Shuai frowned slightly, "Qingping County Lord, why are you here?"

    "Didn't you ask me to come?" Mu Wanqing was surprised and pulled out the Shiqin on one side, "The Shiqin is begging in public again, and is passing your password in public."

    The Du family's father and son's eyes swept to Shiqin, Shiqin was trembling and his face was pale.

    A cold light flashed in Du Shuai's eyes, "I didn't give such an order. This is our Du family's family matter, and the Du family can handle it."

    Mu Wanqing actually guessed a thing or two, but she wasn't very surprised, "So, this is the thief? Let me just say, how could the iron-like defense be breached."

    Shiqin hurriedly shouted, "I'm not, I'm too worried about Madam. Madam's status is noble, and there must be nothing wrong with her."

    In other words, could something happen to Mu Wanqing?

    A man in black shouted, "Qingping County Lord, you are finally here."

    Mu Qing looked over at night, and saw Madam Du, who had fallen into a coma, was holding the sword against her neck, and could be divided into two sections with a single wave.

    The man in black snorted coldly, "To be honest, Mrs. Du was implicated by you, and our target is you."

    "Are you from the Jin Palace?" Mu Wanqing's tone was extremely disdainful. People who want to compete for the world always go the wrong way. What big things can they do?

    "Yes, I can't assassinate you, so I can't come here for nothing, so I find Mrs. Du." The man in black said confidently, "So, it's all your fault."

    The atmosphere suddenly became weird.

    Mu Wanqing chuckled, this logic is negative, and the trick to sow discord is a bit low, but some people just use it.

    "According to what you said, it's my fault that your whole family was killed by King Jin? Who told me to be obedient and captured."

    "According to what you said, it's the emperor's fault that the King Jin's uprising has caused life to be ruined. Who asked the emperor to obediently offer Jiangshan to him?"

    The audience was shocked, she really dared to speak.
