Chapter 389 The whole story
Achen continued to pack up Lan Hongjun's things, and while doing so, he whispered to Fu Qingzhou about the reason for what happened.

"The cause of the incident...is of course still the incident in Hengfeng City."

He wiped the sweat off his head and said softly, "Although Master Lan has not allowed you to continue pursuing this matter, you and Mr. Yue have offended you after all. You are very dissatisfied."

"It just so happened that when we arrived in the capital, we heard that Mr. Yue had been admitted to Qingteng Yayuan with an essay, so..."

He smiled helplessly: "Young Master has the idea of ​​revenge."

Fu Qingzhou sat on a small stone chair in the yard, listening to him quietly.

With the power and ability of the Lan family, he didn't need to enter any academy to prepare for the minor imperial examination. However, for the sake of revenge, he made a simple operation and entered Qingteng Yayuan.

But Lan Hongjun still remembered what his father had said, that he was not allowed to pursue the matter, so he knew that he could not take the initiative to provoke Yue Heng, and he had to use some means.

At the beginning, he bribed a few of Yue Heng's friends and asked them to drag Yue Heng to drink.

But... every time Yue Heng went there, he would only have a few drinks and refused to drink more.

According to those people, Yue Heng actually likes to drink a lot. He can't help but smell more good wine, but he also keeps thinking that drinking will cause trouble, so he dare not drink too much.

For this reason, Lan Hongjun had to put extra thought into it and thought of a way to give Yue Heng a reason to get drunk.

At this time, he met a "craftsman" in a bar who was good at forging ancient books and imitating handwriting. He paid a large sum of money to ask the craftsman to forge an article, falsely accusing Yue Heng of plagiarizing the article.

As a result, Yue Heng was really depressed. When he was dragged out for a drink by those "good friends", he couldn't help but let go of his restraints. In addition, these people kept pouring wine for him, and finally he was drunk and lost his memory.

What happened after that couldn't be simpler.

For Lan Hongjun, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

After arranging someone to accuse Yue Heng of being an immoral person, Yue Heng was indeed kicked out of Qingteng Yayuan.

Afterwards, Lan Junhong deliberately arranged for people to mock Yue Heng, saying that he had such a stigma and it would be impossible for him to go to the Sword Academy again in his life... After such stimulation, Yue Heng became depressed and disheartened, and decided to leave the capital.

Before he left the capital, he decided to visit the Sword Academy again.

"Before, Young Master heard from Mr. Yue that the place he longed for the most was the Palm Sword Academy. He regarded it as the most sacred place in his heart. Before he passed the exam, he was even reluctant to take a trip there."

Ah Chen said slowly: "So, that day, the young master arranged for someone to deliberately provoke him... As a result of this provocation, Mr. Yue really decided to go to the Palm Sword Academy."

Fu Qingzhou sneered: "And you also arranged people in the Palm Sword Academy, right? To steal the books and secret manuals, and then have Lan Hongjun deliberately induce him to beat someone up, and then take advantage of the beating to secretly stuff the things into his body?"

“The specific operation is different from what Master Fu said, but…” Ah Chen smiled bitterly: “The final effect is the same.”

“I don’t want to hear the final result.”

Fu Qingzhou said coldly: "I want you to tell me the details."

"……Understood."

Ah Chen sighed, "The things were stolen by the young master's cousin Lan Shaozhong. He was admitted to the Palm Sword Academy last year and has a very good relationship with the young master since childhood. He also has the fifth level of martial arts cultivation... With Shaozhong's ability, he could have quietly passed by Mr. Yue when he entered the Palm Sword Academy and stuffed a few thin books into his luggage. It couldn't be easier."

Fu Qingzhou snorted, "In the prestigious Sword Academy, there are actually such villains!"

"As long as they are human, it doesn't matter." Ah Chen smiled bitterly. "Young Master's plan was going smoothly. With me by his side, I was not afraid that Yue Heng would hurt him. As long as he was provoked to get angry and hurt someone, the rest would be easy to arrange."

Fu Qingzhou sneered: "You didn't expect that the seemingly weak Brother Yue could actually cast spells. With one palm strike, he paralyzed that useless Lan Hongjun!"

"good."

Ah Chen shook his head and said, "In fact, this actually proves that Mr. Yue stole the secret manual of Palm Sword Academy."

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, I understand this. Now, let me tell you about your business. You said that Brother Yue is still safe now. Is it because of your involvement?"

"That's right." Having said that, Achen put down the work in his hands, stood up straight, and said softly: "I secretly revealed to the Ministry of Justice that Mr. Yue is the fiancé of the daughter of the prefect of Qingyang City."

"Oh?"

Fu Qingzhou placed his hands on his knees, tapping his knees with his fingertips, and asked calmly, "So what?"

"Young Master Fu, you don't know." Achen said calmly, "Mr. Yue's future father-in-law, the prefect of Qingyang City, Lin Zhongwen, is also from a noble family... He is the son-in-law of the Yuan family, one of the four major families in Dayan." Fu Qingzhou's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Although Mr. Yue has not yet been married, he has been engaged, so his status is not ordinary... Since the case involves the son of an aristocratic family, the Ministry of Justice cannot make a decision casually. The case must be handed over to the Mingjian Pavilion for investigation and then to the Dali Temple for trial."

Achen explained: "In this case, the trial time will inevitably be extended, and at this time, Master Fu, you should also come."

Hearing the last sentence, Fu Qingzhou stopped tapping his knees.

He looked at Achen coldly: "What do you mean it's time for me to come? You'd better explain it clearly."

"Master Fu is so smart, don't you understand?"

Ah Chen sighed, "Young Master planned to deal with Mr. Yue for you."

Fu Qingzhou's mind raced, and he suddenly realized, "I offended Lan Hongjun in Hengfeng City, and he wanted to cause trouble for me? But I mentioned the name of Wuwei Temple, and he didn't dare to offend me. So he decided to attack Brother Yue to lure me into action, so that he could have a legitimate reason to do so?"

"That's right." Achen said with his head down.

Fu Qingzhou frowned deeply: "This is not right."

Achen was stunned: "Why is it wrong?"

"Many people know that I'm coming to the capital. It's not surprising that you knew about it in advance, but..." Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and said, "Whether Brother Yue is dead or alive, it won't affect my trouble with you."

"If that's the case, why bother bringing Brother Yue's case to the Mingjian Pavilion?"

Hearing this, Achen suddenly laughed.

However, that smile contained relief, peace of mind, and also a hint of ruthlessness.

"Master Fu, I've told you before, it was me who leaked the information, not you."

He said word by word: "This is my decision."

Then, without waiting for Fu Qingzhou to ask, he bowed deeply and said, "I am Gu Jinchen, and my family has been a servant for generations... My father, Gu Xingxiang, was a tenant farmer of the Lan family. He fell seriously ill more than ten years ago, but died because the Lan family was unwilling to spend money on treatment. My mother, Ge Jinhua, was Lan Hongjun's wet nurse. She was driven out of the house by the Lan family's servants and had her leg broken just because she begged Lan Wanxiong to pay for my father's treatment."

"I have been Lan Hongjun's servant since I was a child. I have helped him do countless things, but his family is not even willing to punish my father!"

"Not long ago, Lan Wanxiong saw that I was talented and was willing to register me for the minor imperial examination... Even if I climb higher, won't I still be a dog of the Lan family? But even so, Lan Hongjun will be jealous of me! He hates that I am better than him!"

At this point, his eyes were filled with resentment, and he gnashed his teeth: "Now that Lan Hongjun has become a crippled man, I am so happy! I don't want to be a running dog of the Lan family anymore! I want to be myself!"

"My name is Gu Jinchen, not Achen!"

Fu Qingzhou looked at him quietly.

"Hey, what this kid said doesn't sound fake." The smoker laughed in his mind, "But I think he is hiding something."

Fu Qingzhou responded, "Of course there are some secrets... Although I don't know Lan Hongjun well, looking at the friends he had in Hengfeng City, he doesn't seem like someone who can come up with such a thorough and detailed plan."

"They even knew to use Brother Yue to plot against me? Haha, I think this plan was probably thought up by Gu Jinchen."

The smoker smiled and said, "What should we do? Get him?"

"Why bother? More friends mean more paths. He was a lackey for Lan Hongjun before, but now he's planning to bite back. Why don't I take advantage of him?"

After Fu Qingzhou responded, he looked at Gu Jinchen deeply and said, "Since you have asked about me, you should know my identity and origin."

"Yes."

Gu Jinchen lowered his head, the fierceness in his eyes disappeared, and he regained his gentleness and calmness: "You are the successor of Wuwei Temple, and you are the champion of the Qianlong Hundred Outstanding Conference not long ago. You are known as Qianlong in the martial arts world, and you are the strongest among the younger generation."

"Well, I value my reputation very much." Fu Qingzhou said softly, "So I won't go back on my promise."

Gu Jinchen's eyes lit up slightly.

"Help me rescue Brother Yue." Fu Qingzhou continued, "And I can let you do what you want."
