Soon, Mu Baye’s men brought back a wild dog from outside the house.
Mu Baye dipped a bone into some brown powder and threw it to the wild dog.
However, after the wild dog gnawed the bones stained with brown powder, there was no reaction for a long time, and it was still alive and kicking, with no sign of poisoning.
Mu Sanniang sneered: "What did I say? I am indeed a charlatan. What else do you have to say?"
Mu Baye said angrily: "Are you a fool? Didn't Master Su just say that the poison will take effect after nine smiles? This dog doesn't laugh at all, how can the poison take effect?"
"You must be a fool, how can a beast laugh?" Mu Sanniang retorted.
Mu Baye thought for a while and ordered someone to bring another beautiful female dog with snow-white fur.
When the wild dog saw the beautiful bitch, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he barked and barked around the bitch. He was extremely excited.
"In this case, it should be considered a smile, right?"
Mu Baye said to himself uncertainly.
After a while.
Just when Mu Sanniang felt impatient and was about to make a sarcastic comment.
The wild dog suddenly foamed at the mouth and kicked its legs.
died!
This scene immediately made Mu Sanniang's eyes widen and she could hardly believe it.
On the side, Mr. Mu's eyes suddenly shone brightly as he stared at the purple jade coral plum and remained silent for a long time.
"How can it be?"
After a long while, the old man spoke.
Although the old man's expression was still as calm as ever, the slightly trembling final voice betrayed that he was not at peace in his heart.
"Impossible, how could this purple jade coral plum be poisonous?"
Mu Sanniang said sharply, "Let's not mention that it is impossible for Prince Anyang to go down.
Poison, let’s just say that after arriving at Mu’s house, this purple jade coral plum underwent strict inspection by a dedicated person before being sent to the old man. If it is really poisonous, shouldn’t it have been detected at that time?”
After all, Mu Sanniang still didn't believe it. Under everyone's noses and with such strict security measures of the Mu family, how could an obviously poisonous purple jade coral plum be delivered to Mr. Mu?
Not to mention Mu Sanniang, even Mr. Mu looked at Su Chen with a hint of doubt, hoping to get an answer from Su Chen.
"it's actually really easy."
Su Chen said calmly, "This purple jade coral plum was non-toxic when it was first brought to the Mu family. However, after a few months, it grew poisonous."
"What? You said it grew poison?"
Mu Sanniang's face was filled with absurdity. How could this be possible? Purple Jade Coral Plum is not a poisonous plant, so how could it have grown poison on its own, and even grown the strangely poisonous Jiuxiao Powder? Is this possible?
Su Chen ignored Mu Sanniang and dug up the roots of the purple jade coral plum with the small shovel in his hand.
A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Mr. Mu's eyes, and he seemed to understand what Su Chen was going to do, but he did not disturb Su Chen and watched quietly from the side.
Soon, Su Chen dug out some of the same brown powder from the roots of the Purple Jade Coral Plum.
"This is... there is Jiuxiaosan buried in the roots of the Purple Jade Coral Plum?"
Mu Baye asked in surprise.
"That's right, Jiuxiaosan was buried in the soil at the base of the purple jade coral root. From the outside, there was nothing abnormal. Even if you checked it, as long as you didn't dig up the soil at the root, you wouldn't be able to find anything.
Strange."
"However, as time goes by, the Purple Jade Coral Plum will absorb the Jiuxiao Powder from the roots, and then transport the Jiuxiao Powder to the branches and leaves through the movement of nutrients in the plant. This originally non-toxic Purple Jade Coral Plum will
It’s toxic.”
Su Chen said calmly.
"Too vicious!"
Mu Baye punched the coffee table next to him with an angry face, "Who on earth actually used such vicious methods to harm the old man? If Master Su hadn't found out, I'm afraid the old man would have been killed by them!"
After Mu Baye finished speaking, he thought that Mr. Mu was still around, so he hurried to see Mr. Mu.
Mr. Mu's expression was calm, but his hands on his knees were trembling, which clearly showed that he was not at peace in his heart.
Master Mu knew that no one would be happy with this kind of thing. Mr. Mu spent his whole life fighting for the old Prince of Anyang, but the son of the old Prince of Anyang wanted to kill him with poison. Anyone else would be extremely disappointed.
"Old man, it may not have been the Prince of Anyang County. It may have been tampered with by others during the transportation of the Purple Jade Coral Plum." Mu Baye said quickly.
"I know."
The old man slowly calmed down. After all, there are still too many doubts about this matter, and we cannot conclude that it was Prince Anyang who did it.
However, no matter who is responsible for this matter, the Mu family must investigate the matter to the bottom of the matter. It is definitely not a trivial matter that someone dares to poison and assassinate the head of the Mu family.
Su Chen looked indifferent, these things had little to do with him, and he was not interested.
Suddenly, Mr. Mu stood up and walked up to Su Chen. Unexpectedly, he bent down deeply and bowed.
"Thank you, little friend, for helping me point out the poisoning today, otherwise
If so, I’m still in the dark, and I don’t even know when he died suddenly!”
Mr. Mu's tone was full of sincerity. This matter was indeed thanks to Su Chen.
Otherwise, this is not just a matter of Mr. Mu alone. Once the big tree of Mr. Mu falls, the entire Mu family will be shaken violently.
Mu Sanniang opened her red lips and watched in disbelief as the old man she always respected as a god bowed respectfully to Su Chen. Even if this scene was spread, no one would believe it.
With Mr. Mu's status, he didn't have to pay any kind of courtesy in front of the Prince of Anyang County, but yet he gave such a big gift to a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old!
More importantly, the old man's attitude was equivalent to a slap in the face for her words and actions just now.
Fortunately, she had repeatedly taunted Su Chen just now, but the old man's current actions were undoubtedly equivalent to countless hot slaps directly on Mu Sanniang's face.
"If Master Su is willing to relieve me of the poison of Jiuxiao Powder, you can make a request to me. I promise that as long as the Mu family has the ability to do it, no matter what request you make, it will be fine."
Mr. Mu said firmly.
Immediately, Mu Baye on the side took a breath of cold air.
You must know that looking at the entire Anyang City, apart from the Anyang County Prince's Palace, the Mu family's wealth and power are among the best. And Mr. Mu is the head of the Mu family, so he is right.
If it had been anyone else, as long as they heard Mr. Mu say that they could make a request to him, they would have been shocked at least, not to mention going crazy with joy.
However, Su Chen had a calm and composed look on his face, as if Mr. Mu's words could not make much waves in his mind.
