My script is a supporting role

Mo Chen shrank imperceptibly, and said calmly, "Cook?"
"Isn't it about business?"
"Why did you switch to the cook again?"
Wei Junlan tried his best to recall the scene at that time, and said: "It was almost a month ago. My family's wedding invitations have been sent out for a long time, and all the guests have been notified."
"However, the original cook in my family suddenly said that my mother was seriously ill and wanted to resign and return home."
"You know that in a family like ours, the guests invited are all dignified."
"If the food is not cooked well, it will be a loss of etiquette, and it will sweep the face of the Wei family."
"It's not that easy to find a good cook temporarily."
"It just so happened that the surname Mu came to visit that day and gave some congratulatory gifts. He said that he was afraid that business would be too busy and he might not be able to come back in time, so he brought the congratulatory gifts in advance."
"Speaking of this happy event, my father was worried about the cook, so he just mentioned it to him."
"When the man surnamed Mu heard it, he immediately said that he had a distant relative who was very good at cooking. He used to be a chef in some high-ranking official's house."
"Later that senior official committed a crime, and his home was raided, so his relative went home, and now he happens to be free."
"My father is worried that he can't find a suitable person. Hearing what he said, let him bring someone here for a try."
"His movements are quite fast, and he was brought here the next day. After trying it out, his skills were really good. My father made a decision on the spot."
Mo Chen's eyes fell on the various dishes on the table.
The time when the businessman surnamed Mu bought the yard was a bit strange, and the cook of the Wei family had such a coincidence that he suddenly resigned and returned home a month ago.
The businessman surnamed Mu happened to come to give gifts at this time, and there happened to be a distant relative who was at home who was a cook. This series of coincidences seemed very unusual.
Judging from the suspicious behavior of the middle-aged man who entered the yard, no matter whether he is the "Mu surname businessman" Wei Junlan said, this yard is definitely not as simple as buying family property.
"Is this to kill Tiehu by poisoning food or drinks?"
After the two girls, Murong Qingyue and Zhong Xiaowan sat down, they were not polite and had been eating for a while.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Zhong Xiaowan couldn't help stopping her chopsticks, with a look of inquiry in her eyes: "Is there a problem with the food?"
Mo Chen smiled and said: "No problem, you can eat."
Murong Qingyue didn't stop, and said: "If there is a problem, can there still be so many people sitting here?"
This is exactly what Mo Chen thought.
If one wants to kill a master like Tie Hu with poison, it is impossible to use ordinary drugs, and the dosage must not be too low.
But there are so many guests here, there are weak women, there are old people, there are milky children, and there may be some weak and sick.
Their physiques are far worse than Tiehu's.
If all the food and wine were served according to the dosage of Tiehu, I am afraid that with one chopstick, everyone here would have to pour a large slice.
Even though the rules of the Wei family were strict, the order of serving dishes had already been set, and the designated wine and dishes could be delivered to Tiehu's table.
That Tiehu couldn't be weaker than the three sisters of the Lu family. Even Wan Yanzong, the school captain of Xiaoqi, although he always pretended to be a mighty general, was actually just a rookie in front of Tiehu.
Therefore, before Tiehu felt it, the people at that table might have died.
Although poisoning in the food had been ruled out, Mo Chen thoughtfully poked the food in front of him with his chopsticks.
What is the purpose of this cook being inserted in?
Suddenly, Mo Chen realized that he still knew too little about the Blood Spirit Sect.
Except for the Blood Spirit Orb and the Alienator, so far, Mo Chen has only one Tuobei in all he knows about the Blood Spirit Sect.
Such crude information cannot provide enough support for Mo Chen.
"I'm afraid the focus now is mainly on that courtyard."
At this time, a man in his 50s, well-dressed, and somewhat dark and fat saw Wei Junlan, and immediately came over and complained, "Why are you sitting here, there are still many guests waiting to greet you..."
Suddenly found that Mo Chen and the others were not the sons and brothers that Wei Junlan usually hung out with, they looked strange.
And with his eyesight of knowing people for many years, it is obvious that the temperament of these people is completely different from others.
After being stunned for a moment, he said, "These people are..."
Wei Junlan was a little guilty for a while, although he bragged about how he got acquainted with people from Tianxing Jianzhai, but in fact he was dealt with severely.
At this moment, Mo Chen was right in front of him, how could he dare to continue blowing?
"Father, here, a few... come from afar... distinguished guests..."
Instead, Mo Chen got up and bowed his hands, saying: "I have met Mr. Wei, we are all disciples of the Qingli Sect, and we are here to congratulate Mr. Wei on his wedding."
Seeing what Mo Chen said, Wei Junlan was overjoyed, and quickly introduced: "Yes, yes, these are all high-ranking disciples of the Qingli Sect... This, this, is my father!"
Mo Chen had guessed a few points just by looking at his body shape and appearance, and immediately said: "My servant, Mo Chen, these two are my senior sisters and senior sisters. Because I learned the news late, I asked the old man to forgive me for coming abruptly."
Murong Qingyue and Zhong Xiaowan also stood up to salute.
Wei Junlan's father's name is Wei Zhangquan. He has been in Jinyuan City for many years and has seen a lot of world. Although he is not a practitioner, he has heard the name of Qingli Sect for a long time. He dare not neglect him, so he hastened to greet him politely. for a while.
But I felt strange in my heart: "Didn't this kid say that he met someone from Tianxing Jianzhai earlier?"
"Why is someone from the Qingli Sect here again?"
"Is it really because he knew the people from Tianxing Jianzhai, so these high-ranking practice sects also think highly of my Wei family?"
Thinking of this, Wei Zhangquan felt very relieved, and after sending his heartfelt greetings, he decided to keep Mo Chen and the three of them to live in Wei's house no matter what.
In fact, Mo Chen also had this intention, and after a little excuse, he agreed.
Wei Zhangquan didn't ask Wei Junlan to greet other guests, but instead told him to treat the honored guests of Qingli Sect well, and then went happily.
Chapter 423 The Change of the Night
Thanks to Mo Chen's cover-up, Wei Junlan passed the test in front of his father, and was very happy. On the spur of the moment, the habit of a son-in-law was born, and he raised the wine glass and wanted to drink with them.
Mo Chen had something on his mind, so he refused to drink, and Murong Qingyue also calmly shook his head and refused.
Only Zhong Xiaowan would not refuse a cup with a smile, and after a few back and forth, Zhong Xiaowan's eyes were still clear, but Wei Junlan was lying on the table and couldn't get up.
Only then did Murong Qingyue ask Mo Chen, "Did you find anything?"
Mo Chen nodded slightly, and said: "When people died on the street today, I found a middle-aged man who left the scene, then went into the yard next to Wei's house, and never came out."
"The businessman surnamed Mu, and the cook who is now in the Wei family, their timing is too coincidental, and there may be problems."
Murong Qingyue said: "Then tonight, are you going to investigate?"
Mo Chen said: "There must be an investigation, just leave it to me."
"Just pay attention to what's going on in the Wei family."
Then he sent a voice over the line, telling Murong Qingyue and Zhong Xiaowan: "That man named Tiehu was the former commander of the Northwest Army, and the Blood Spirit Sect's target this time should be him."
Zhong Xiaowan was slightly surprised, and quickly glanced over there.
In this short period of time, many people have gone to the Lu family table to toast and greet, but none of them have anything to do with that dark man.
He still sat beside him without saying a word, eating food by himself.
Murong Qingyue hummed, "So, are we going to protect him?"
Mo Chen smiled and said: "That's not necessary, I only care about the actions of the Blood Spirit Sect."
Just kidding, after all, he is a god in the world, so this scene should not be too much to deal with.
It's just that the gods I met before were more or less flawed.
Mo Chen wanted to observe from the perspective of a bystander, what kind of guy this Tiehu is.
Murong Qingyue nodded and said no more.
For Mo Chen, she had an indescribable sense of trust.
No matter what he wants to do, she feels that there must be his ideas and reasons.
After the banquet, Wei Junlan, who was still drunk, was carried back by his servants, and the three of Mo Chen were also arranged to stay in Wei's guest room.
Mo Chen sat in the room, but his soul consciousness followed Tianji.com all the way to the courtyard where the door plaque of "Zaiyang Ningrui" was hung.
Completely different from the lively and noisy atmosphere of the Wei family, this courtyard is quiet, without any sound, and there is no light from any room.
"Since that middle-aged man entered here and never came out again, there should be some movement inside."
"Even if I went to bed early, I should have some breath, right?"
But right now, the courtyard is terribly silent, no different from a dead house.
The golden mosquitoes as fine as dust landed very carefully on the panes of every room in the courtyard, looking inside through the tiny gaps.
These rooms are all empty and the furnishings are very simple. It looks like no one has lived in it for a long time.
But where did that middle-aged man go?
Mo Chen clearly saw him coming in, and he could clearly see which room he entered.
But now he checked all the rooms in the courtyard, and the middle-aged man seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, without a trace!
"So, there should be a hidden secret room here?"
From buying the yard to now, more than five months have been enough to do a lot of things.
And with such a deep plan, the entrance and exit of the secret room must have been completely disguised.
Mo Chen was not in a hurry, and spread the golden mosquitoes in every hidden corner, waiting quietly.
The people here, including the middle-aged man, must be masters.
Minimizing the movement of the golden mosquitoes can reduce the fluctuation of the soul power, and the less likely it is to be discovered.
Although there is no blessing formation outside this courtyard, there must be a formation guarding the entrance and exit of the secret passage.
Mo Chen didn't want to try his luck here, not only would he not find useful clues, but he might startle the snake.
The Blood Spirit Sect specifically asked Song Xianqiao how long it would take for the lurkers to gather, which showed that they had taken this into consideration.
So Mo Chen still had time to wait.
The Lu family in Pingyang City didn't know what their relationship with the Wei family was, but they also lived in the Wei family's house.
Fortunately, the Wei family's house is quite large and there are many guests living in it, but there is no crowding.
In addition to Lu Yuqian and Tie Hu, Yang Zhuoyuan, Wan Yanzong and the Lu family sisters walked among the guests and chatted happily.
Of course, in addition to putting a golden face on himself, there is also some cynicism about Tiehu.
After all, without any foil, how can you appear to be more outstanding?
Mo Chen wasn't interested in listening to what they had to say, he was surrounded by a group of people who wanted to slap and swell their faces when Tie Hu came out of the mountain.
The only thing he couldn't understand was, with Tiehu's ability, why did he put himself in such a low position and make himself look like a doormat?
After showing a little bit of strength, these people don't dare to make such a mistake, right?
Moreover, it seems that the relationship between him and Lu Yuqian's husband and wife is not good. The two of them must have had a hard time in the past three years.
So, why is it necessary to maintain a marriage that is uncomfortable for everyone in such a deformed way?
Mo Chen could also see that although Lu Yuqian had a lot of resentment towards Tie Hu, because of Tie Hu, he was excluded and neglected at home.
But she still tried her best to defend it in front of people, and unceremoniously responded to all the words against Tiehu.
No matter whether she is doing it for Tiehu or for herself, Lu Yuqian is not too bad a woman if she can do this.
That iron tiger just watched such a woman, who suffered three years in vain with you, and still argues with others everywhere because of you, didn't he react at all?
Mo Chen really didn't understand what kind of mentality was behind these actions.
"Sure enough, these high gods, this one and that one, are actually caused by their own faults..."
It was night, and there was nothing special happening in Jinyuan City, only the drunken restaurant in the south of the city had a lot of guests.
The next day was just as uneventful.
Mo Chen also observed the cook specially, and the cook didn't do anything unusual.
The only thing I can be sure of is that this cook is also cultivated.
