Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

It's getting dark.

The Yucheng courtyard was brightly lit.

Yun Jiao, the good sister of the Second Miss Yu Qiu Shuang, has become dazed and stupid since she woke up from a coma in Xiaomian Inn.

Tonight, her room was extremely lively, with all the important people gathered there. The city lord Yu Mulan wanted to kill someone to silence him, but was caught on the spot.

"What are you doing? Madam, please save me?" Yu Mulan was acupunctured by Xiao Yuer and could not move her body. She could only struggle with her mouth.

"Madam Yu also saw it just now!" Fang Duobing took the dagger that was ready for murder from his hand and handed it to Yu Hongzhu.

"Yu Mulan, what's going on?" Yu Hongzhu couldn't believe it. This guy who was always so respectful in front of her actually dared to act like this in secret.

"Madam, it's all a misunderstanding!" Yu Mulan's face changed slightly, and she pretended to be calm and explained.

"This is not a misunderstanding. The reason why you, Yu Mulan, are so eager to kill people today is because of this!" Li Lianhua took out three golden needles from her arms.

"This is the Ghost Soul-Grabbing Needle!" Yu Hongzhu quickly recognized the origin of the golden needle: "Isn't this thing in the armory?"

Seeing this lethal weapon appear outside, Yu Hongzhu immediately ordered her servants, "Bring the armory's borrowing record!"

"Don't bother with that. We've already checked. This item was borrowed by the Second Young Miss!" Fang Duobing gave the answer directly and continued, "One of these three was found inside the Second Young Miss's body that was not completely burned."

"Yun Jiao!" Yu Hongzhu immediately thought of Yun Jiao. Only this good friend could let Yu Qiu Shuang lend her this weapon.

Then, she thought of Yu Mulan who came to kill and silence her: "It's you!"

"It's not me!" He tried to argue with Mu Lan.

"Why not you?" Xiao Yuer patted his face and continued:

"That day you used this hidden weapon to attack my brother Zhao, and today you overheard that we made the same discovery at the Second Young Lady and Xiaomian Inn. You are desperate now!"

"You did it on purpose!" Yu Mulan also realized at this moment that all this was a setup by Li Lianhua and the other two to lure him into the trap.

"If it weren't for that kid Fang Duobing who insisted on proving your guilt with evidence, we would have arrested you long ago. There would be no need to set up this trap!" Xiao Yuer slapped him again.

Zhao Xu also sighed for these infatuated people at this moment:

"You want to kill and silence the witnesses, and put all the blame on Miss Yun Jiao. You really wasted her kindness!"

"My heart is tied to the pearl, and the flying catkins of the beautiful flowers evoke my longing for her!"

Li Lianhua recited the poem softly, then took out the broken warm jade from her bosom and handed it to Yun Jiao, who was pretending to be stupid, along with a golden needle.

"Although the dandelion flower is deeply affectionate, the friendship of Nuanyu should not be betrayed!"

"That day at Xiaomian Inn, the warm jade given by Miss Qiu Shuang protected you. Girl, don't hide it for such a person anymore!"

"Qiu Shuang, I'm sorry!" Yun Jiao, who had a dazed expression, couldn't help but burst into tears.

"My heart is attached to the bright pearls and the flying catkins of the gorgeous flowers!"

Huahua Feixu may refer to dandelions. Yumulan, no, it should be Pumulan. The Pu family he was born in has dandelions as their family emblem.

Thinking of this, Yu Hongzhu quickly came to Yun Jiao, lifted her left hand, and a dandelion flower pendant bracelet came into view.

Only now did she realize that she had misunderstood before. Yun Jiao's love poem was not written to Zong Zheng Mingzhu, but to Pu Mulan.

"Mr. Li, when did you start to doubt me?" Yun Jiao was no longer pretending to be stupid, and she felt quite hopeless.

Hearing this, Li Lianhua, Zhao Xu and Xiao Yuer looked at each other and smiled.

"Young lady, you underestimate the first-class warriors. The raw pockmarks in the water of the inn can't make us drunk!"

"The transparent glue made from red grass can turn into blood red when it comes into contact with water. We have also found the raw materials for the young lady to make blood footprints in the Jade City courtyard."

Yun Jiao also found herself amused at the moment: "I see, I didn't expect that I would be exposed the moment I pretended to be Qiu Shuang!"

At this time, Fang Duobing had already instructed Yu Qiushuang's maid to bring up two shadow puppets.

"These two shadow puppets, one is from Xiaomian Inn, and the other is from Lord Yu's study."

Li Lianhua continued to explain after Fang Duobing's words:

"Pu Mulan was born in the Hujiang Pu family. They made a lot of money from shadow puppetry. Unfortunately, the former head of the family was addicted to gambling and ruined it all in one day!"

"That day at Xiaomian Inn, Pu Mulan used the unique art of shadow puppetry to let Miss Yunjiao play two roles, creating the illusion of a missing person in the secret room and a murder by a ghost."

"At Miss Qiu Shuang's feet, the red clay of Jade City and the petals have not yet melted. She must have been killed in Jade City!"

"What a joke! If I killed someone, I could just dump the body and make him disappear. Why would I go through all the trouble to do all this?" Pu Mulan still wanted to argue.

"Gambler, what are you yelling about!" Xiao Yuer slapped him again, and Pu Mulan's face was swollen on both sides.

"This Jade City may be too rich to rival a country. Second Miss Yu Qiu Shuang occupies half of it. According to the rules of Jade City, if her death is not confirmed, Madam Yu will not be able to inherit it!" Li Lianhua sighed slightly at this moment.

Fang Duobing clapped his hands, and soon a servant came over with two account books.

"The Fang family's banks are all over Daxi. It's easy to find this gambler's bills. The account books he used to falsify debts at the jade mine are also here!"

Yu Hongzhu looked through the account book and quickly confirmed that everything was true. She looked at Pu Mulan with an unusually cold gaze.

"I want revenge for Qiu Shuang!" Zong Zheng Mingzhu, who had been paying attention, attacked Yu Mulan with a palm in mid-air as if he had telepathy.

"Xiao Yuer, stop him!" Zhao Xu noticed it instantly and immediately reminded.

"Okay!" Xiao Yuer's true energy surged, the thunder and fire true energy, combined with the fierce fist intention, he punched out.

"Plop!" Zong Zheng Mingzhu was defeated and fell to the ground as soon as the fight started.

"Xiao Yu'er, your Wedding Dress Skill and Southern Sky Divine Fist are progressing at a rapid pace!" Zhao Xu's eyes lit up after seeing Xiao Yu'er take action and he praised.

"It's all thanks to Uncle Yan and Brother Zhao, the power of example!" Xiao Yuer said very modestly.

"Mingzhu!" Yu Hongzhu didn't care about anything else and ran over to help the man up. Seeing the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, she glared at him and asked, "What are you going to do!"

"Young master's injury has not yet fully healed, why bother doing this?" Fang Duobing said.

At this time, Li Lianhua continued to talk about the case:

"Master Zong Zheng is engaged to the Second Miss, and we can all understand that he wants revenge, but the real culprit in this case has not yet surfaced!"

"The murderer is Pu Mulan. Wasn't it confirmed just now?" Yu Hongzhu was very puzzled.

"The second young lady was hit by a needle in the heart and her abdomen was seriously injured by a palm strike!" Fang Duobing explained a few words, then looked at Zong Zheng Mingzhu and said:

"Master Zong Zheng's air splitting palm can attack from several feet in the air without damaging the skin, but it can damage the inside."

"No matter how you look at it, it fits perfectly!"
