Chapter 195 There Is Something Wrong with This Purple Jade Coral Plum
"Get out of my way!" Mr. Mu roared.
Mu Sanniang refused to give way: "What a joke! Such a charlatan can't even enter the gate of the Mu family under normal circumstances, and he still wants to deceive the old man and cheat? Dream on!"
Mr. Mu had no choice but to look at the head of the Mu family: "Old man, I can guarantee that Master Su is definitely not a charlatan..."
The head of the Mu family pondered and looked at Su Chen.
If it were any other time, the head of the Mu family would never believe that such a boy who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old would be a master of alchemy.
However, if it were an ordinary boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, once he stepped into the famous Mu family and met the legendary head of the Mu family, even a boy with a good heart would inevitably feel nervous, excited, timid and other emotions.
But the boy in front of him, since entering the yard, has been unhurried, exuding a calm and leisurely demeanor. That feeling does not feel like the first time he entered the Mu family, but rather like strolling in his own yard.
Moreover, facing a late-stage powerhouse like himself, his expression did not fluctuate much, and he did not have the nervousness and anxiety that ordinary people should have when facing a late-stage powerhouse.
Such a mentality is definitely beyond ordinary people.
After pondering for a while, the head of the Mu family slowly said: "Young man, what poison do you think I was poisoned by?"
"Nine Smiles Powder."
Su Chen said calmly.
"This kind of poison, I have never heard of it."
The head of the Mu family frowned slightly and said.
"Nine Laughs Powder is a very rare and strange poison. It was very popular in ancient times, but now it is almost lost."
Su Chen said lightly, "Its characteristics are that it is colorless and tasteless, and it is extremely toxic. Only a tiny amount is needed to poison an elephant. Even a strong person in the late stage of the transformation realm will be poisoned if he is not prepared."
"The poisoned person will die after laughing nine times, and the internal organs will rupture and die, and it is difficult to save him. At least, I have never seen anyone who can be saved after laughing nine times."
Mr. Mu Ba, who was standing aside, was also secretly shocked when he heard Su Chen say this.
According to what Su Chen said, this Nine Laughs Powder is an extremely dangerous and strange poison. Fortunately, the old man seems to have not laughed nine times since he was poisoned, which means that he can still be saved.
The old man's expression is very calm. After all, he has seen many storms. At this moment, there is no emotion on his face, and there is no panic that ordinary people know that they are poisoned.
After a moment of silence, the old man slowly spoke: "Young man, it's not that I don't believe you, but what you said is really bizarre. I have been staying in the Mu family, not leaving the house, and have not met any outsiders in the past few months. How could I suddenly be poisoned?"
The old man's doubts are actually the same as what Mu Sanniang said just now.
The old man has never come into contact with any outsiders, and all his food and clothing have been inspected by a special person. If the old man is poisoned, the poison must have a source, right?
It is not brought by outsiders, and it is not from food and clothing, so where does the poison come from?
Mu Sanniang said respectfully: "Old man, in my opinion, you don't need to say more to him. It is obvious that he is a charlatan. I will have people beat him out with sticks."
"Shut up."
The old man waved his hand to stop Mu Sanniang from speaking, and his eyes were fixed on Su Chen.
He wanted to know whether Su Chen could tell where the Nine Laughs Powder came from.
"Does the head of the Mu family have any special favorites and items that he often enjoys in recent months?"
Su Chen asked.
"There is one item that he often enjoys."
Grandpa Mu thought for a while and said.
"Can I take a look?" Su Chen asked.
Grandpa Mu ordered: "Come here, bring the purple jade coral plum."
Soon, his men brought a pot of purple jade coral plum and placed it in front of several people.
This purple jade coral plum is about one person tall, with bright colors, warm luster, and a gentle aura. At first glance, you can tell that it is a priceless item.
"Haha, you so-called master, you are not going to say that the Nine Smiles Powder was put on this purple jade coral plum, right?"
When Mu Sanniang saw the purple jade coral plum, she sneered, "This purple jade coral plum was given to the old man by the Prince of Anyang. Are you going to say that the Prince of Anyang wants to poison the old man?"
Old man Mu also showed a trace of doubt. This purple jade coral plum was indeed given to him by the Prince of Anyang. Logically speaking, there is absolutely no problem. The Prince of Anyang has no reason to poison him.
In Anyang City, the Prince of Anyang is like the emperor. If the emperor really wants to kill his ministers, why would he go through so much trouble?
Besides, the old man was a subordinate of the old Prince of Anyang and made great contributions. Although the old Prince of Anyang has passed away, the current Prince of Anyang should not kill him anyway.
"The problem lies in this purple jade coral plum."
Su Chen sniffed the purple jade coral plum and said affirmatively.
Suddenly, Mu Sanniang sneered again: "See, this kid is really a fake so-called master, without any real skills. He actually framed the prince for poisoning."
Mu Baye was also full of doubts. Although he would not doubt Su Chen, he couldn't help but ask doubtfully: "Master Su, is there something wrong? This purple jade coral plum was given by the Anyang County King. It is absolutely impossible to be poisonous."
"Bring a shovel."
Su Chen ignored the doubts of the three people and spoke.
Mu Baye suppressed his doubts and raised his hand to call someone: "Bring a shovel to Master Su."
Soon, the shovel was sent up.
Su Chen picked up the shovel and quickly scraped a thin layer of brown powder on the surface of the purple jade coral plum.
"These are the Nine Smiles Powder." Su Chen said lightly.
Mu Baye looked at it carefully, smelled it again, and immediately showed a look of shock on his face. These brown powders were exactly the same as the brown powders he forced out in the restaurant!
"How is it possible? Could it be that the poison was really put on the purple jade coral plum?" Mu Baye muttered to himself. He really couldn't accept this fact. Could it be that the Prince of Anyang really wanted to poison Mr. Mu?
Mu Sanniang didn't believe it at all, and said sternly: "Boy, you are lying and slandering the Prince of Anyang, which is a serious crime!"
As she said that, Mu Sanniang turned to Mr. Mu and said, "Old man, this kid is talking nonsense from beginning to end. These brown powders can't be poisons at all. If you don't believe it, you can find a dog and do an experiment to know whether these brown powders are poisonous or not."
"Humph, since you said so, I'll send someone to find it, and we'll test it on the spot!"
Mu Baye snorted coldly. He didn't believe that Su Chen would lie, so he had to help Su Chen prove it.
