Xuanxia

Chapter 1055: A Person of Interest

Fu Qingzhou drank tea at the stone table, and Yuan Zizheng poured tea for him.

The time they rested had already exceeded an incense stick.

Yuan Ye sent someone to ask, but Yuan Zizheng just said that the consumption had not yet recovered and it would take some time.

"After last night, Gu Jinchen has been under house arrest. It will take some time to get around Uncle Er and release him."

Yuan Zizhen said with a tired look: "However, now Second Uncle only suspects that he has a relationship with you, but he is not sure. After all, he appeared outside the secret place under such circumstances... Therefore, not many people in the clan know that he is under house arrest, and he can still command some people."

"That's good."

Fu Qingzhou put down his teacup and said leisurely, "It's OK as long as you can arrange it clearly."

As they were talking, two people were walking quickly towards them from a distance.

The person leading the way was the confidant arranged by Yuan Zizheng - and following behind this confidant was Gu Jinchen.

Gu Jinchen looked rather depressed, with a hint of worry in his eyes. When he sat down at the stone table, there was a hint of caution in his eyes when he looked at Yuan Zizheng.

Soon, Yuan Zizhen's confidant bowed and left, waiting to be called not far away, while Yuan Zizhen... picked up the teapot and poured another cup of tea for Fu Qingzhou.

Just this small action made a gleam of light burst out in Gu Jinchen's eyes!
"You don't remember what happened last night, do you?"

Fu Qingzhou played with the teacup and smiled.

Gu Jinchen trembled: "You are..."

Fu Qingzhou didn't say anything, but reached out and stroked his face.

The breeze hit Gu Jinchen's face. His expression was dull for a moment, then his whole body trembled. When he looked at Fu Qingzhou, his eyes were full of fear!

"Yes……"

He was about to shout, but then he realized something and suddenly closed his mouth. He suppressed the fear in his eyes and said in a low voice: "Fu..."

"Ah."

Fu Qingzhou took a sip of tea and said, "Sir, you can make the arrangements."

"Yes."

Yuan Zizhen responded respectfully.

He turned to Gu Jinchen and said seriously, "Master Gu, the fate of the Yuan family, and the life and death of you and me, all depend on this."

Gu Jinchen swallowed.

He is a very smart man. In just a few years, he has climbed up from a small servant to his current position, showing only a little bit of the taste of a mean man. This is not easy. More importantly, he has never lost his survival wisdom.

Although the two people in front of him did not explain anything to him, he had already guessed everything from what happened last night to today.

Naturally...

He also knew what he should do.

"How far should we go?"

Gu Jinchen asked.

He did not look at Fu Qingzhou, because Fu Qingzhou said that Yuan Zizheng would arrange it.

"Uncle, we must control it."

Yuan Zizhen said tiredly: "As for those worshippers..."

He hesitated halfway through his words, so Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "If you wait until I make a move, then the price will be different."

"understood."

Yuan Zizhen sighed: "We will find a way."

"Yeah." Fu Qingzhou put down the teacup for the second time: "I told you to arrange it, so it's entirely up to you. I only look at the results - it's almost time for us to go back, don't let Yuan Ye get suspicious."

……

This "lie detector" farce was over very quickly. After Yuan Zizheng returned to the square, he performed the play with all his heart and soul. Naturally, he could not find any "traitors", not to mention Fu Qingzhou. Even Lan Jingzhu, who was trembling with fear, was released safely after he finished speaking in front of him.

However, when Lan Jingzhu returned to Fu Qingzhou, her clothes were soaked with sweat. After the polygraph test, Yuan Ye's face became even uglier.

"Second Master."

Just as he was about to leave the square with a gloomy face, a middle-aged man ran up to him, bowed and called out, "Master Zizhen said that he had just found something, but he didn't tell you for fear of alerting the enemy, so he asked you to come over."

"Oh?!"

A light flashed in Yuanye's eyes.

He recognized the man in front of him. He was the housekeeper of Yuan Zizheng's line. He had been in the clan for decades and was trustworthy.

"Okay, take me there!" Yuan Ye flicked his sleeves.

His heart became lively.

Could it be that there is more than one enemy hiding in the tribe?
It is indeed possible... Otherwise, how could Fu Qingzhou come and go in the manor so easily, as if he were in an empty space? Everyone is in the Cave Heaven Realm, so why didn't the few worshippers in his family notice it at all? They are not those ghost cultivators in the Xishuo Army who are trying to force their way forward. These people have been fed with their own cultivation resources since they were young! They are truly at the Grandmaster level!
Not to mention...even my eldest brother Xuanxing is dead!

Fu Qingzhou alone could never do such a thing!
Could it be that someone from Xuanmeng has arrived?
Or has Mingjian Pavilion also infiltrated?

But the Lan family has just experienced a great war, and both the Xuan League and the righteous army suffered heavy casualties. This cannot be fake... Wait, could it be that the news that came is also fake, just to confuse me?

Yuan Ye followed the butler and walked quickly, thinking about all kinds of possibilities in his mind, sweat already oozing out of his forehead.

It was precisely because he kept thinking that he didn't notice that the road was becoming more and more remote.

By the time he reacted, the two of them had already arrived at a deserted courtyard in a very remote part of the manor.

"wrong!"

Yuan Ye's pupils shrank: "What are you doing here!"

The middle-aged butler had already run away, shouting, "Here he comes! The second master is here!"

Yuan Ye was shocked, but before he could do anything, a group of Yuan family guards rushed out from his surroundings!
"I rebelled against you!"

Yuan Ye was furious. He suddenly pulled out a vajra from his sleeve and waved it in the air: "Do you really think I am a piece of tofu?"

The vajra cut through the wind, making a roaring sound, and then...

There's no after that.

Yuan Ye widened his eyes and was stunned.

This, this is not right! Why is it useless!

Yes... If it worked, would I not know what happened last night? This was switched!

But by the time I realized it, it was already too late.

This group of Yuan family guards suddenly surrounded Yuan Ye, but they did not hold swords in their hands, but short sticks, which they pointed at Yuan Ye cautiously.

"Second Master, I'm sorry, please come with us."

The leading guard said: "Don't worry, your illness can be cured."

Yuan Ye was furious: "What's wrong with me?!"

"Uncle, you are indeed sick, but you don't know it."

Not far away, Yuan Zizheng's voice came.

He looked tired, and walked slowly towards them with Gu Jinchen following behind him.

Yuan Ye was shocked and furious: "Zizhen? What are you doing?!"

"Uncle, actually..." Yuan Zizhen sighed, "Do you know that you let Fu Qingzhou in? Father also died because of you."

"What?!" Yuan Ye's eyes widened.

"We will find a way to restore your lost memories, and you will soon know the truth."

Yuan Zizhen said in a deep voice: "But now, we can't let you go out. It's too dangerous. For your own good and for the good of the family, my nephew... can only offend you."
