The reason why Meng Xiuyuan was able to remain so calm was actually because the condition in his body at this time was far less than what Zhu Changling expected.

Although Meng Xiuyuan had never heard of "brown fish stone" and "purple-crowned lily of the valley", he was not completely caught because of his vigilance.

Before entering this study, in order to prevent poisoning, Meng Xiuyuan sealed the qi and meridians in his lungs with extreme internal force.

Therefore, although he did smell the fragrance of "Purple Crown Lily of the Valley", its medicinal power did not actually spread out in Meng Xiuyuan's body.

In other words, the medicinal properties of this "purple crown lily of the valley" are really light and agile, which is far beyond common sense. Otherwise, Meng Xiuyuan's method of sealing the qi and meridians in the lungs would not have the only impact now.

The reason why Meng Xiuyuan asked Zhu Changling how powerful the medicinal power of the "purple crown lily of the valley" was actually because he wanted to use this to estimate the effect of his method of sealing the qi and meridians in his lungs, and thought that he would improve it as appropriate in the future.

But no one from Zhu Changling and even the Zhu family's ancestors had been able to practice martial arts to the point where Meng Xiuyuan could not understand the mystery. He thought that Meng Xiuyuan was still stubborn when he died, and couldn't help but sneer:

"Boy, you are a character, and you still have the intention to make me laugh at this time.

But it's a pity, I'm not interested in listening to you say more nonsense.

If you want to chat, then wait until your martial arts is ruined first and you kneel in front of me, let’s talk again.

Brother Wu, Brother Yao, take action.”

While speaking, the group of good soldiers holding weapons behind Meng Xiuyuan immediately rushed towards Meng Xiuyuan from all directions, showing an encirclement.

At this time, I found that the two leading men were Zhu Changling's sworn brother Yao Qingquan and Zhu Wu Lianhuanzhuang's other owner Wu Lie.

Meng Xiuyuan lived in Hongmei Villa for several months. Although he did not often interact with the people in the village, he had met some of the main characters.

Like Zhu Changling, these two people flatter Meng Xiuyuan a lot and always look flattering.

Now they thought Meng Xiuyuan had lost his skills and had completely changed his appearance. His fierce and cruel face was not concealed, and he even gave his all his strength when he took action.

Wu Lie's thumb and index finger were buckled, the remaining three fingers were slightly opened, and his fingers stretched out like an orchid. He used the "Orchid Brushing Hand" delivered from Dongxie Huang Yaoshi, and directly attacked the critical acupoint on Meng Xiuyuan's chest.

This skill originally focused on "fast, accurate, strange, and clear". Especially the word "clear" is the most difficult, you need to be elegant, leisurely, lightly and simple, and do as if nothing is done.

But when Wu Lie got to the hands of this hand, there was only speed and accuracy, and there was no clarity at all, but it was full of murderous aura.

In addition, Wu Lie was a stout and ugly man himself, so he used such a profound and beautiful martial arts very much, which made Meng Xiuyuan shake his head.

"Huang Yaoshi's kung fu is good, but unfortunately he was ruined by you."

Meng Xiuyuan pointed casually and tapped Wu Lie's three major acupoints on his chest in the air with the skill of "Yi Yang Finger", which made him unable to move for a while. Then he patted it gently and printed it on his lower abdomen, which had abandoned his lifelong skills.

"Wow!" Wu Lie squirted out a mouthful of blood, feeling the crackling pain of a knife cutting and axe coming from his dantian, and then an endless sense of weakness came from his body, but because Meng Xiuyuan pointed the acupoints, he was fixed there for a moment but did not lie down.

"You, why do you still have such strong skills?!" Zhu Changling stared at Meng Xiuyuan with wide eyes, with both confusion and fear in his eyes.

At this time, several Zhuangzhong experts who were loyal to Zhu Changling and Wu Lie did not give up at this time. They led by Wu Lie's disciple Wei Bi, attacked Meng Xiuyuan one after another. They were all good at kung fu, and there were obviously traces of the martial arts of the Zhu and Wu families.

However, it is said that their kung fu is not weak, but it is only comparable to the average level in the martial arts world. In front of Meng Xiuyuan, even Zhu Changling and Wu Lie who taught them kung fu could not pass a move, so they naturally had no chance.

In a moment, these people flew backwards without any surprise, landing on the ground without even a chance to scream in pain, and were straight and no longer moving.

Only Zhu Changling's sworn brother Yao Qingquan saw that something was wrong, so he turned around and left immediately, and took advantage of Meng Xiuyuan being besieged to escape to the study.

Yao Qingquan is nicknamed "Chasing the Wind for Thousand Miles". Although his kung fu is ordinary, his light skills are quite clever. His movements are really fast as the wind. When he sprints with all his strength, he is about to leave the door.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt his body sinking, and a palm had been placed on his shoulder from behind:

"Go slowly, I have something to ask you."

As Meng Xiuyuan's voice came from behind, the next moment, Yao Qingquan felt dizzy and lay back on the ground in the middle of the study with a "thump". At the same time, a severe pain in the Dantian came, and Meng Xiuyuan also squandered his skills.

Meng Xiuyuan kept his lives for the time being, so naturally he did not pity them, but wanted them to expose each other and ask clearly about the evil deeds of the people in Zhuwu Lianzhuang, so as to clarify what to do next.

Originally, Meng Xiuyuan thought of interrogating them separately and then checking their remarks.

However, Yao Qingquan was aware of the current affairs. Before Meng Xiuyuan could speak, he endured the pain and became afraid. He knelt in front of Meng Xiuyuan and begged:

"Meng Shaoxia, please tell me clearly.

Whether it was the killing of the Xueyu Merchant Gang back then or the plot against you this time, you were all mastermind Zhu Changling.

I said it was his sworn brother on the surface, but in fact it was just his subordinates, and they were just following his orders.

I hope you, Young Master, give me a way out and let me reform myself..."

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, although he was very happy that Yao Qingquan cooperated with the explanation, he was a little confused. What happened to the "Snow Jade Merchants"?

After he asked in detail, he learned from Yao Qingquan that there was a Xueyu merchant gang more than a hundred miles west of this Hongmei Villa.

The Snow Jade Merchant was named after the digging of jade ore in the snow-capped mountains, and was also quite wealthy because of selling jade to the Central Plains.

The Xueyu Merchant Gang developed rapidly, which made Zhu Changling greedy for his wealth. He joined Wu Lie, Yao Qingquan and others to lead many good players trained in the two villages to dress up as bandits, destroying more than a hundred people from the Xueyu Merchant Gang.

Not only did he finally annex his property, he also instructed people to occupy the jade mining area. It seemed that someone came to form a new business gang, but they were actually under the control of Zhu Wu Lianhuanzhuang in secret.

Meng Xiuyuan was very surprised when he heard this. Because he knew nothing about this, even the account book he searched did not have relevant income records.

It seems that Zhu Changling is cautious by nature and does not put this part of his income on paper.

When Meng Xiuyuan was just rude in his heart, Zhu Changling seemed to have accepted his fate and suddenly spoke to Yao Qingquan and said sarcastically:

"My second brother Yao, I'm not surprised that you can say such words at all.

But do you think that even if you shake your tail and beg for mercy in front of him, he will let you go?

Didn’t I say that the matter of the Xueyu Merchants Group has been investigated clearly for a long time, so why do you need to speak?

If we succeed, the king will lose, and the enemy will lose. If we lose today, we will never be able to escape death.

Don’t do this embarrassing look again, it’s better to die.”

Meng Xiuyuan was puzzled when he heard this and asked Zhu Changling:

"Why do you think I have found out the matter with the Xueyu Merchants?

To be honest, I just heard this name from your brother.”

Zhu Changling said disdainfully when he heard this, and said to Meng Xiuyuan contempt:

"Meng Xiuyuan, it's already here, why bother me?

I think I am quite cautious and thorough. I may have done a lot of things like you heroes who want to fight and kill after seeing it, but I handled every thing very cleanly and would never reveal any flaws.

What I have to say is the only thing that involves the Xueyu Merchant Gang that involves too much, and I cannot cover it up, leaving some hidden dangers.

Half a month ago, Zhen'er suddenly told me that she learned from Song Qingshu that you said that I was filthy and dirty in Hongmei Villa and didn't want Song Qingshu and Zhen'er to get along with him again.

At that time, I began to think about where I made a mistake that made you notice.

Finally, after thinking about it, the only thing that was the Xueyu Merchants often went to the Central Plains to sell jade, and they had some interaction with the Central Plains martial arts world, perhaps because they could hear some news.

At that time, I was not sure, but I didn't expect that you would leave without saying goodbye and disappear into the vast Kunlun Mountains.

I took people to search, but I saw that your trace was heading west.

Although we haven't found you later, we can think about it and know that you must have investigated the matter of the Xueyu Merchants."

Meng Xiuyuan was speechless when he heard the sound. He never thought that Zhu Changling actually had such a rich psychological activity.

However, Zhu Changling was guilty after all, and Meng Xiuyuan cheated out his ultimate move with a simple flat a.

"Master Zhu, you misunderstood. To be honest, I don't know anything about the Xueyu Merchants.

I don't need to lie to you, you did miss one thing.

What I found out was that you brutally killed several tenant farmers' families in order to increase the rent."

Meng Xiuyuan simply spoke out loud, which was to make Zhu Changling understand.

"What?!" Zhu Changling was shocked when he heard this. He felt unbelievable at first, and then he regretted it very much.

After a long time, Zhu Changling, who finally figured out everything, had lost his eyes and looked at him secretly and murmured:

"It turned out to be just a small matter like a few tenants...

I don't have to die, I don't have to die... Why do I have to be smart..."

Meng Xiuyuan smiled and comforted him:

"Don't worry, it won't affect the results.

In my opinion, killing a tenant is also a great crime.

Damn it or die.”

...

Meng Xiuyuan did not delay Zhu Changling's study for too long, because after all, Song Qingshu was still in their hands, so it would be safer to rescue him first.

He followed the information provided by Yao Qingquan and found Zhu Jiuzhen's boudoir all the way.

According to him, even if Qingshu was locked up here, Zhu Jiuzhen was guarded by himself.

Sure enough, before I reached the door, I heard Song Qingshu's voice coming from inside the room:

"Zhener, stop perfunctory and tell me quickly, what did your father do to be so forced to be hostile to my uncle?

Although my uncle is good at kung fu, he is easy-going. There is no enough reason to make things difficult for you, Hongmei Villa.

Did your father do something evil that is harmful to the world?

Have you been involved with it?!"
