Chapter 461 Today is different from the past

After Tang Min finished his story, he stopped talking and drank his wine in silence.

For a moment, the table fell into silence.

"Aha--"

Yue Heng yawned loudly, tears streaming down his face. "Brother Fu, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to sleep first."

"Go ahead." Fu Qingzhou waved his hand.

"I fell asleep too." Qiu Chan stood up and stretched lazily: "I still have to do things tomorrow."

Fu Qingzhou smiled at her and nodded slightly.

When he looked at Tang Jiao again, Tang Jiao gave him a look asking for help.

"Lao Yuan."

Fu Qingzhou pondered for a moment and whispered, "Watch your surroundings and don't let anyone get close... Well, although there is a high probability that there won't be anyone around, you should be more careful."

"Yes." Yuan Ziping bowed in response and left quickly.

Tang Min frowned slightly but said nothing.

Fu Qingzhou blinked again and said to Tang Jiao, "Jiaojiao, take Zhu Mei back to rest. It's very late."

"Brother?" Tang Jiao was stunned.

"Well, let's go."

Fu Qingzhou winked at her: "You are tired too."

Tang Jiao glanced at her uncle, understood, smiled gratefully at Fu Qingzhou, nodded softly, took Zhu Mei and left.

"Hey, sis, sis?"

Zhu Mei still had the cake in her mouth, and said reluctantly: "I haven't finished it yet! I haven't finished it yet!"

Tang Jiao ignored her and dragged her away.

Tang Min put down his wine glass with a strange look on his face, looked at their backs, and said nothing.

"Actually, you recognize that woman, right?"

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "After all, you are considered a capable killer. You must know what has happened in the capital and its surrounding areas recently."

"Ok, I know."

Tang Min poured himself another glass of wine and said calmly, "Wu Yan's woman... But I'm not interested in her. I'm not short of money recently."

"Then you should know who I am?" Fu Qingzhou said with a blink.

Tang Min nodded slightly: "I didn't know at first, but after seeing your sword skills, plus you brought Wu Yan's woman with you...it's hard not to know who you are."

"That's good. I don't have to introduce myself." Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and smiled, "There was a woman at the table just now. Do you know who she is?"

"I don't know." Tang Min picked up the wine glass and drank it all: "I'm not interested."

"She is the direct disciple of the master of Ziqi Xianfeng Temple."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Also, since you know who I am, do you know that Jiaojiao is my junior sister? Do you know what our sect is?"

Tang Min finally frowned: "What do you want to say?"

"Uncle Tang."

Fu Qingzhou exhaled lightly: "I want to say that if you can't handle it, we may be able to handle it."

"Humph." Tang Min sneered, "You are so young, but you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! Do you think that just because you have a little background and some strength, you can dominate the world?"

"That's not the case."

Fu Qingzhou smiled sadly and said, "When I meet those real masters, I am still not good enough... I know this very well."

After all, he had just fought with Hui Xin not long ago, and witnessed Si Yu's broken arm and another junior sister being killed...

"but."

He straightened his face and said calmly, "I can tell you that I have a big backer for investigating this case this time. A very big one... With his support, it doesn't matter who was behind the case back then."

"Ha." Tang Min sneered again: "Young man, do you think your backer is the emperor?"

"Uh..." Fu Qingzhou scratched his head.

My backer is really the emperor... Bai Xiao... Uh, no, Zhao Yuan said it himself. He can help find the case files.

But it is not a good idea to tell anyone about this for the time being. The emperor is on a secret visit and that is kept secret at the highest level. I can't tell him about it, that would be too unkind.

Therefore, he could only cough lightly and said, "In short, they are indeed royal relatives... and high-ranking officials in the court."

The emperor is also considered a royal relative, right?
Is the emperor considered a high-ranking official in the court? The most powerful one?
Hearing him say this, Tang Min's expression finally straightened up a little.

"Royal relatives and high-ranking officials of the imperial court."

He said in a deep voice: "How much support can they give you?"

"That's not the point." Fu Qingzhou looked at Tang Min with deep eyes: "The point is, is Tang Zhun really wronged? Who framed him? What is their relationship with the people behind me?"

"More importantly, we need to know if we can really find clues and uncover the culprits behind the scenes. Only then will their support be meaningful."

Hearing his words, Tang Min paused slightly.

"I just saw it wrong."

As he spoke, he moved an empty wine glass over to fill it up, and with a gentle push, the wine glass slid in front of Fu Qingzhou: "You are not just an impulsive and arrogant young man."

"Haha, it's okay." Fu Qingzhou took the wine glass and raised it from a distance: "But in fact, all of this is secondary to me."

"Oh?" Tang Min was stunned.

"Most importantly..."

Fu Qingzhou swirled the wine in his glass and said softly, "It's Jiaojiao."

Without waiting for Tang Min to respond, he continued, "The case back then changed her life. Her biggest obsession till now is to find out the truth of that year. If her father was wrongly accused, then the case will be overturned; if her father really deserved the punishment, then she will no longer feel relieved..."

"In short, no matter if we have the ability, background, or help, we..."

Fu Qingzhou drank the wine in one gulp and gently placed the glass on the table: "I will definitely get to the bottom of this."

Tang Min's pupils trembled slightly and he didn't speak for a long time. In the end, he still drank the wine in the glass.

"I understand."

He said in a deep voice: "But, I still need to think about it."

"It's okay, Uncle Tang can think about it slowly." Fu Qingzhou said with a smile: "Of course, from what Uncle just said, it can be seen that Jiaojiao's father was indeed wronged, and the mastermind behind it is extremely powerful and terrifying."

"If uncle is really not convenient and does not want to get involved in this matter, or even does not want Jiaojiao to participate in this matter, I can understand... At that time, uncle can think of ways to stabilize Jiaojiao, and we will handle this matter."

This time, Tang Min was really shocked.

After a while, he smiled at Fu Qingzhou for the first time: "Jiaojiao...I really made a good friend."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine jug again.

But this time, Fu Qingzhou stood up, waved his hand, and snatched the wine jug.

"Uncle Tang."

He smiled and said, "You've just been injured, so you'd better not drink so much."

Tang Min laughed.

"Okay, let's stop here for tonight." He stood up quickly and saluted Fu Qingzhou like a man of the underworld: "I'll come back after I think it through."

"Actually, Uncle Tang can come more often." Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Jiaojiao will probably want to see you more often."

"Um……"

After a moment's silence, Tang Min nodded.

Well, he just walked to the shadow on the side as if it was a habit, like a drop of water melting into the sea, disappearing in an instant, even Fu Qingzhou didn't notice how he disappeared.

"This move is really powerful." Fu Qingzhou looked at the place where he disappeared and murmured, "No wonder he can be a killer for decades, he really has some skills..."

He muttered to himself, and with a glance, he saw Tang Jiao, who had just left, standing not far away again, looking over here.

Fu Qingzhou smiled.

It's time to comfort her heart.
