Chapter 196 This Child Is Not Simple

Soon, Mu Baye's men brought back a wild dog from outside the mansion.

Mu Baye dipped a piece of bone in a little brown powder and threw it to the wild dog.

But after the wild dog gnawed the bone with brown powder, it didn't react for a long time and was still alive and kicking, with no signs of poisoning.

Mu Sanniang sneered, "What did I say? He is indeed a charlatan. What else do you have to say, Lao Ba?"

Mu Baye said angrily, "Are you a fool? Didn't Master Su just say that you have to laugh nine times before the poison will take effect. This dog didn't laugh at all, how could the poison take effect?"

"You are not a fool, how can a beast laugh?" Mu Sanniang retorted.

Mu Baye thought about it and ordered someone to bring another beautiful bitch with snow-white fur.

When the wild dog saw the beautiful bitch, his eyes lit up and he barked and yelped around the bitch, excited.

"This should be considered a smile, right?"

Mr. Mu Ba muttered to himself uncertainly.

After a while.

Just when Mu Sanniang was getting impatient and was about to make another sarcastic remark.

The wild dog suddenly foamed at the mouth and glared at all four legs.

Dead!

This scene immediately made Mu Sanniang's eyes widen, and she could hardly believe it.

And Mr. Mu, who was standing aside, also had his eyes shining instantly, staring at the purple jade coral plum, and remained silent for a long time.

"How is it possible?"

After a long while, the old man spoke.

Although the old man's expression was still as calm as usual, the slightly trembling tail tone betrayed that his heart was not calm.

"Impossible, how could this purple jade coral plum be poisonous?"

Mu Sanniang screamed, "Let's not talk about the fact that Prince Anyang couldn't have poisoned it. After it came to the Mu family, the purple jade coral plum was also strictly inspected by a special person before it was sent to the old man. If it was really poisonous, shouldn't it have been detected at that time?"

In the end, Mu Sanniang still didn't believe it. Under everyone's noses, under the Mu family's strict security measures, how could a purple jade coral plum that was obviously poisonous be sent to the old man Mu?

Not to mention Mu Sanniang, even the old man Mu looked at Su Chen with a trace of doubt, hoping to get an answer from Su Chen.

"It's actually very simple."

Su Chen said calmly, "This purple jade coral plum was non-toxic when it was first sent to the Mu family. But after a few months, it became poisonous."

"What? You said it became poisonous?"

Mu Sanniang's face was full of absurdity. How could this be possible? Purple jade coral plum is not a poisonous plant. How could it grow poison on its own, and grow the strange poison Nine Laughs Powder? Is this possible?

Su Chen ignored Mu Sanniang, and used the small shovel in his hand to dig up the roots of the purple jade coral plum.

A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Grandpa Mu's eyes, as if he understood what Su Chen was going to do, but he did not speak to disturb Su Chen, but watched quietly from the side.

Soon, Su Chen also dug out some brown powder from the roots of the purple jade coral plum.

"Is this... Nine Laughs Powder buried in the roots of the purple jade coral plum?"

Mu Baye asked in surprise.

"That's right. The Nine Smiles Powder was buried in the soil at the root of the Purple Jade Coral Plum. From the outside, there is nothing abnormal. Even if you check it, as long as you don't dig up the soil at the root, you won't find anything unusual."

"But, as time goes by, the Purple Jade Coral Plum will absorb the Nine Smiles Powder at the root, and then transport the Nine Smiles Powder to the branches and leaves through the circulation of nutrients in the plant. This Purple Jade Coral Plum, which was originally non-toxic, has become toxic."

Su Chen said lightly.

"Too vicious!"

Mr. Mu slammed his fist on the coffee table next to him, his face full of anger, "Who on earth would have used such a vicious method to harm the old man? If Master Su hadn't discovered it, I'm afraid the old man would have been killed by them!"

After Mr. Mu finished speaking, he thought that Mr. Mu was still next to him, so he hurried to see Mr. Mu.

Mr. Mu looked indifferent, but his two hands on his knees were shaking constantly, obviously indicating that he was not calm inside.

Mr. Mu Ba knew that no one would be calm if this happened to him. Mr. Mu had fought for the old Prince of Anyang all his life, but the son of the old Prince of Anyang wanted to poison him. No matter who it was, he would be extremely chilled.

"Old man, it may not be the Prince of Anyang who did it. It may be that someone else tampered with the purple jade coral plum during its transportation." Mr. Mu Ba said hurriedly.

"I know."

The old man slowly calmed down. After all, there were too many doubts about this matter, and it could not be asserted that it was the Prince of Anyang who did it.

However, no matter who did it, the Mu family must investigate it thoroughly. Someone actually dared to poison the head of the Mu family. This is definitely not a trivial matter.

Su Chen looked indifferent. These things had little to do with him, and he was not interested.

Suddenly, Mr. Mu stood up, walked in front of Su Chen, and unexpectedly bent down deeply and bowed.

"Thank you for pointing out the poisoning to me today. Otherwise, I would still be in the dark and I wouldn't even know when I died!"

Mr. Mu's tone was full of sincerity. This matter was indeed thanks to Su Chen.

Otherwise, this would not only be Mr. Mu's business. Once Mr. Mu fell, the whole Mu family would be shaken violently.

Mu Sanniang opened her red lips and looked at her old man, whom she always respected as a god, bowing respectfully to Su Chen. Even if this scene was spread out, no one would believe it.

With Mr. Mu's status, he didn't have to pay homage to the Prince of Anyang, but he paid such a homage to a 15 or 16-year-old boy!

More importantly, the old man's attitude was equivalent to a slap in the face for her words and deeds just now.

She had repeatedly mocked Su Chen just now, but the old man's actions now were undoubtedly equivalent to countless hot slaps directly on Mu Sanniang's face.

"If Master Su is willing to help me get rid of the poison of the Nine Laughs Powder, you can make a request to me. I promise that as long as the Mu family is capable of doing it, no matter what you ask for, it's fine."

Grandpa Mu said firmly.

Soon, Mr. Mu, who was standing by, took a breath of cold air.

You should know that in the entire Anyang City, except for the Anyang County Prince's Mansion, the wealth and power of the Mu family are among the best. And Grandpa Mu is the head of the Mu family, and his words are final.

If it were someone else, as long as they heard Grandpa Mu say that they could make a request to him, they would be shocked at least, if not crazy with joy.

However, Su Chen's face was calm and composed, as if Grandpa Mu's words could not stir up much waves in his mind.

This boy is definitely not simple!
