Chapter 394 Evidence
call!call!call!
In the small courtyard, there were gusts of sword-like winds.

Fu Qingzhou held the Cloud-Splitting Knife in his hand, and with a single swing of the knife he was able to create such a powerful force that the leaves from the old sycamore tree in the yard were split into several petals before they even hit the ground.

After practicing with the sword, he picked up the bow again, but not to shoot arrows, but to shoot with the sword!

He placed the Cloud-Splitting Sword on the bow and shot it out suddenly. The long sword whizzed out, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. It seemed to be spinning irregularly, but it finally flew back to Fu Qingzhou and was grasped by him.

"It's still a little bit off... the knife I shot out doesn't work at all."

He shook his head: "How did Ning Wushu attach his true essence to the sword he shot out and use the Wind and Thunder Sword?"

"Young master, it's time for breakfast." At this time, Yuan Ziping's voice came from not far away.

Fu Qingzhou turned his head and saw Yuan Ziping slowly approaching him. He bowed respectfully and said with a smile, "Miss Tang Jiao has prepared breakfast."

"Lao Yuan."

Fu Qingzhou glanced at him and waved the knife in his hand: "Want to learn some knife skills?"

Yuan Ziping was startled: "Sir, what did you say?"

"You are not only my driver now." Fu Qingzhou said with a smile, "You drive, guard the courtyard, do errands... you do so many things, but I only give you 20 taels of silver a month. I really feel bad about it. But I am a person who lives off my savings and has no source of income. It is really difficult for me to spend a lot of money. I can only teach you something practical."

Yuan Ziping laughed: "Sir, what are you doing? It is my honor to follow you. Why do we need to talk about this?"

"Now I'm going to teach you swordsmanship, do you want to learn it?" Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows.

Yuan Ziping smiled lightly and bowed: "Learn."

"That's it." Fu Qingzhou raised his hand and threw the Cloud-Splitting Knife to Yuan Ziping: "Take it!"

Yuan Ziping raised his hands and caught the knife steadily.

"You watched me practice my sword skills just now." Fu Qingzhou said with a smile, "Practice it once and let me see it."

In the yard, Yuan Ziping held the knife in both hands and waved it over and over again, while Fu Qingzhou stood beside him with his hands behind his back and whispered instructions.

This scene... is quite strange.

Fu Qingzhou is probably only about nineteen to twenty years old now, but Yuan Ziping is already in his thirties or nearly forty years old. Judging from their ages, it is reasonable to say that they are the father and the younger generation, but it is the "younger generation" who is instructing the "senior generation".

"Brother, I've been calling for a long time, but where is he? How come Uncle Yuan is missing too?"

Tang Jiao's voice rang out across the yard: "The soy milk is cold!"

The breakfast was not very rich, just ordinary soy milk and fried dough sticks, plus a few fragrant tea eggs.

In the past few days, Yuan Ziping has filled the kitchen of the courtyard with all the necessary ingredients. The dishes for each meal are also varied. Zhu Mei has gained a lot of weight in the past few days.

"You damn pervert, you haven't been out for several days."

Qiuchan chewed the dough sticks and said leisurely, "Not doing anything anymore?"

"What should we do?" Fu Qingzhou said helplessly, "There is no movement from your side, and there is no movement from Mingjian Pavilion. The imperial envoy said he would help me investigate Yue Heng's matter, but now there is no movement... Wu Yan didn't hear any news from the other end, and even Jiaojiao didn't find her father's friend. What can we do?"

"Well……"

Tang Jiao lowered her head helplessly: "I will go out and look for it today, I should be able to find it."

"It's okay, there's no rush." ​​Fu Qingzhou comforted him, "This is a long-term job, there's no need to rush."

As they were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door of the courtyard.

Several people were startled.

"Mingjian Pavilion is investigating a case. Open the door." A low shout came from outside the door.

Several people were obviously shocked, but Fu Qingzhou laughed: "Oh, it seems that Brother Yue's matter is going to work out."

After saying that, he was the first to stand up and strode to open the door.

When the door opened, both sides were stunned.

There were two secret envoys from Mingjian Pavilion standing outside the door... two familiar faces.

They were the two people who were chatting gossip with Fu Qingzhou in the "tea room"!
"Eh?" The second emissary stared: "Well, brother, it's you?"

Envoy A grinned and said, "Fu Qingzhou, right? The leader of the Hidden Dragon Hundred Talents Conference and a disciple of Wuwei Temple. I didn't expect that we had tea together."

"It seems that you have taken this job." Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Since you came to me, I guess the case has come to me, right?"

"good."

Envoy A nodded and said, "When we interrogated Yue Heng, he said that he learned magic from you, so we have to ask you to come with us."

"no problem."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and asked, "What are your names?"

"Liu Xingyuan." Secret Envoy A pointed at himself, then pointed at Secret Envoy B: "Wang Dahai."

"Hey, why are you telling him this?"

Wang Dahai shook his head and said, "How can we casually tell the witness the name of our secret agent?"

Liu Xingyuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Didn't you see him that day? Young Master Fu followed the commander and might become our superior one day. What's wrong with reporting your name?"

"Alright, alright..." Fu Qingzhou clasped his fists and said, "You two, let's get down to business first."

"Okay." Wang Dahai waved his hand and said, "We are all acquaintances, so let's not waste time on those empty words. Come with us, okay?"

Their arrival meant that Yue Heng's case had indeed taken a turn for the better.

Otherwise, who would have the time to care where you learned your magic when you severely injured a disciple from an aristocratic family in public?
Regardless of whether Bai Jin mediated or not, it means... Yue Heng, the unfortunate child, can be saved.

Fu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

After briefly explaining things to Tang Jiao, Qiu Chan and the others, he immediately followed the two secret envoys onto the Mingjian Pavilion's carriage.

"You two, where are we going?"

After getting on the carriage, Fu Qingzhou asked in a low voice: "If you just want to confirm whether Brother Yue learned magic from me, why did you take me away alone to question me?"

"See, I told you that Mr. Fu would have to join our pavilion sooner or later." Liu Xingyuan squinted his eyes, "How perceptive."

Fu Qingzhou smiled bitterly.

Wang Dahai smiled and said, "Since we are investigating the case, we have to investigate it seriously. Yue Heng's confession was certainly not just a verbal confession. He also took out a worn-out booklet and said it was written by you..."

Fu Qingzhou suddenly realized: "You have to check whether that thing is my handwriting and whether I know the spell on it, right?"

But soon he frowned: "But even if he learned magic from me, it doesn't mean that he won't steal the secret book of the Sword Palm Academy?"

When the two secret agents heard what he said, they both laughed.

"Hey, just to complete the chain of evidence." Liu Xingyuan smiled and said, "We don't care about this."

"Yes."

Wang Dahai also shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the instructions from above that we must dig deep into all the details of this case, we wouldn't have to make this extra trip."

Fu Qingzhou chuckled and tasted the flavor.

Was the "instructions from above" something that Bai Jin had manipulated? Probably.

Perhaps it was also due to the fact that Yue Heng’s father-in-law was the prefect, but the fact that they were able to find me must have been prompted by someone.

Does it matter who Yue Heng learned magic from?
unimportant.

But Mingjian Pavilion must have a reason to look for Fu Qingzhou.

Because only if he finds him, he will...

"Since you two have come to me, I will tell you what I know about the details of this case." Fu Qingzhou blinked: "As far as I know, there is another key figure in this case, his name is Gu Jinchen..."
