Chapter 258 Confession
In the lobby of the government office, the prefect of Yangcheng flipped through the complaint in his hand, his brows were so deep that they could pinch a mosquito to death.

When Guo Youning stepped into the lobby, he saw his uncle with a serious face, and his long and narrow Danfeng eyes glanced behind him as if nothing, and then he turned around, showing a playful smile, "Master Yu, what are you looking at? Such a state of bitterness and hatred?"

Yu Yaozong raised his head holding the complaint, but his eyes passed Guo Youning, and looked directly at Wu Fang behind him.

"Master Wu, you are being sued for smuggling salt rice, copper and iron, making good soldiers and sharp weapons, colluding with bandits and bribing border officials! Communicating with barbarians! Leaking military aircraft..."

Yu Yaozong counted Wu Fang's crimes clearly word by word, and his calm tone reached the end, as if knocked down with a heavy hammer, "Is this really true?"

Guo Youning's playful face suddenly twisted up, and the veins on his forehead twitched suddenly, but he still suppressed his temper and forced a smile, "How could it be? Xiao Fang has done his best for Beijiang for so many years, everyone can see it , How could he do something treasonous? It must be a mistake."

As if he wanted to find some basis for his own words, and as if he wanted to give himself some basis for believing in his own words, Guo Youning smiled and turned to look at Wu Fang, "Right, Xiao Fang?"

It's just that Wu Fang hadn't opened his mouth yet. Yan Qing, who followed them in and was nicknamed "observing and studying", said calmly, "Master Hou, won't you look at the evidence first?"

Guo Youning's smile stiffened, and Yu Yaozong's voice sounded at the right time, "You'd better see for yourself first."

Wu Fang opened his mouth, but closed it gently without making a sound.

Looking at Wu Fang's slack shoulders as if he had finally unloaded some heavy burden, the smile on Guo Youning's face could hardly hold back, but he still suppressed his voice, turned around with a chuckle, "Humans, they will always be greedy." I want to seduce. Although it is against official duties to cooperate with the caravan for profit, but..."

Gu Youning's voice was cut off abruptly when his eyes fell on the ledger that Yaozong opened and handed to him.

He still had a smile on his face, but his smiling lips were already tightly pursed, and the muscles on his face were twitching, trying hard to maintain this calm appearance, but Yu Yaozong turned a page. , all efforts were dissipated like green smoke, leaving only layers of frost that could not be melted away.

Next, without using Yaozong to turn the pages for him, Guo Youning took over the account book and read each page slowly and carefully.

"The right of self-control of weapons in northern Xinjiang is to reduce the damage of weapons and the cost of long-distance transportation of weapons."

Guo Youning held the ledger, turned around slowly, and lightly cast his eyes on Wu Fang who was in the hall, "That's it, right? Xiao Fang."

Wu Fang calmly looked at the account book crumpled between Guo Youning's fingers, even if it was just a vague glance, it was enough for him to know what it was.

"You are very capable."

Wu Fang did not answer Guo Youning, but looked at Yan Qing who was standing aside, "This account book should have been gone long ago."

"Don't you refute?"

Yan Qing half-rolled his eyes, neither being caught by his provocation nor surprised by his calmness, "Master Hou is still waiting for a reasonable explanation from you."

Wu Fang followed her gaze and looked at Guo Youning.

The person who was always lazy and unruly was trembling and short of breath because of excessive restraint of his anger.Those long and narrow eyes were half closed, filled with a sharp light after the laziness faded away.

Looking at the furious Guo Youning, Wu Fang suddenly smiled, "What can you explain with an anonymous ledger?"

"Nothing can be explained."

Wu Fang looked at Guo Youning and breathed a sigh of relief, the corner of his lips smiled even more, and he laughed out loud, "Do you want me to say that?"

"Unfortunately, it's all true."

Wu Fang's words exploded on top of Guo Youning's head like rolling thunder, immediately igniting his suppressed anger, and punched Wu Fang's face hard!
Although Wu Fang has some skills in self-defense, compared with Guo Youning who rolled over in the shadow of swords and swords on the battlefield, the three-legged cat is not an amateur.

Without any precautions, Wu Fang was sent flying by this completely powerless punch, and rolled twice on the ground, clutching his bleeding mouth and nose, so painful that he couldn't stand upright.

"I thought that although you were a little greedy for profit, you at least had a bottom line and knew the severity."

Guo Youning pinned his fists to the spot, resisting the urge to rush forward to give him a good beating, and asked through gritted teeth, "But how dare you forge the account books of military weapons and sell large quantities of fine weapons to Beijing?" An enemy in Xinjiang? That is a felony treason against the Jiu Clan!"

"why?"

Wu Fang wiped the blood from his face, gave up the idea of ​​standing up, sat cross-legged on the ground, covered his bleeding nose, grinned open his mouth with missing front teeth, and pulled out a mocking smile, "Why else? Of course for Fame and fortune!"

"I, who offended the emperor, can only be a dog behind your ass, Guo Youning, for the rest of my life! Since I am a dog for people, why don't I choose someone who values ​​me more?"

Wu Fang saw Guo Youning's anger, but smiled even more complacently, "Others have promised me the throne! Isn't it a thousand times stronger than your broken master?! Ten thousand times?!"

"That will take your life."

Yan Qing interrupted coldly.

"what?"

Wu Fang seemed to have heard a joke, and turned his head to look at Yan Qing, "You don't really think that you can convict me with a bunch of so-called anonymous evidence, do you?"

"I can admit it in front of you now, but when I return to the capital, I can naturally deny it!"

Wu Fang smiled like a rascal, "Don't you forget? After all, I am still a Beijing official ordered by the emperor to be transferred here. All the accusations related to me will be successful or not, and it is up to the people in the capital to decide. "

"But with this pile of unnamed waste paper, who will believe the testimony you heard today?"

"You have to be careful. These nameless things may belong to me, Wu Fang, or they may belong to someone who doesn't know."

Wu Fang laughed ferociously, and at this moment, he cast a provocative look at Guo Youning with deep meaning in his eyes, "Tell me, is it worthwhile to use these things on me, a master who dies when he dies, or use Would it be more cost-effective to exchange the strength and power of a territory with someone of high authority?"

"At the beginning, when you proposed the autonomy of military equipment in northern Xinjiang, it was for the purpose of smuggling military equipment, making false accounts, and finally pushing everything on my head, so that the Guo family fell into a place of eternal doom?"

Having said that, even without Yan Qing's guidance and reminder, Guo Youning already understood what kind of jackal he was raising by his side!
"If it wasn't for this yellow-haired girl to disrupt the situation."

Regarding Guo Youning's questioning, Wu Fang still did not defend himself, and even gave Guo Youning a contemptuous look, then turned his gaze to Yan Qing who was aside, with a gloomy expression, "I'm curious, how did you get this ledger? Before Northern Xinjiang, I obviously burned it with my own hands."

 happy New Year!
