Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 44: What Happened (4K Reading)
Gu Mo recognized that it was indeed Zhuo Qingfeng's voice. Moreover, he could feel that the man outside was weak and his steps were light but unsteady. He was definitely seriously injured and did not pose much of a threat.

"Are you really Zhuo Qingfeng?" Gu Mo was a little skeptical.

The man outside said, "If you have any doubts, you can ask your sister to come out and take a look."

Gu Mo opened the door and called out Gu Chudong from the next room.

"Brother, it's really Captain Zhuo." Gu Chudong said.

Gu Mo was a little confused. He invited Zhuo Qingfeng in and asked, "Captain Zhuo, how dare you come to me? Do you know how valuable you are now?"

"I know," Zhuo Qingfeng said, "That's why I only dare to come to you. I don't dare to trust anyone now."

"Then you dare to believe me?" Gu Mo asked in surprise.

"Well," Zhuo Qingfeng said, "You are the only one who openly refused to arrest my ghostwriter and believed that I was wrongly accused. In addition, you also sent someone to pass a message to me before, telling me to be careful of Bai Tou Weng and the scholar. I believe you have no intention of harming me."

Gu Mo said speechlessly: "Aren't you afraid that I am just trying to attract attention and say that on purpose?"

"You're not that kind of person," Zhuo Qingfeng said. "I spent a few days with you at the Wang family in Yong'an County, and I trust you."

"Okay, okay," Gu Mo waved his hand and said, "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Zhuo Qingfeng said: "I didn't kill my colleagues, I was framed."

"But they all say you killed them, that you collaborated with the descendants of the Wood King and absconded with the treasure token." Gu Chudong said, "Your colleagues also died under your Seven Star Sky Sword Technique."

"It really wasn't me, it was Xiao Xuan who was lying."

Zhuo Qingfeng took a deep breath and said, "That day, I was escorting a token with a group of colleagues. We passed by Da Deng Valley and encountered an ambush. During the battle, I was led away. It was Bai Tou Weng and the scholar who deliberately led me there. However, I didn't think too much about it at the time.

I was led into a forest, where I encountered the Silver Fox. During this fight, the Scholar and the White-headed Mang suddenly attacked me, catching me off guard and injuring me. I fled hastily, encountering Xiao Xuan, who had come to support me. But to my surprise, Xiao Xuan betrayed me and, taking advantage of my insecurity, stabbed me in the back.

"Ah?" Gu Chudong asked in surprise: "Xiao Xuan betrayed you? Didn't you want to kill Xiao Xuan?"

"It wasn't me," Zhuo Qingfeng slowly turned around and lifted his clothes, revealing a wound on his back. He said, "It was this sword."

Gu Chudong asked in confusion: "Then how did you run away?"

Zhuo Qingfeng said: "Facing the siege of Silver Fox, Scholar, White-headed Mang and Xiao Xuan, and I was seriously injured, there was no way I could win. I just ran away for my life. Luckily, there was a river not far away, and I jumped into the river and was washed away.

I was rescued by a fisherman. I recuperated in the fishing village for two days and asked the fisherman to go to the local county town to report to the police. As a result, the fisherman went to the county town and brought a large group of people to arrest me.

Fortunately, I realized something was amiss. After the constables entered the fishing village, I hid myself and found an opportunity to slip away. I slowly learned that I was wanted. I found a doctor and used force to force him to close his clinic. He treated my injuries, and after I felt better, I fled back to Linjiang City.

Gu Mo said with some admiration: "You are really amazing. Now the underworld, the black and white worlds, and the government are all looking for you, and you actually dared to run into Linjiang City and didn't get caught?"

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "Have you forgotten what I do? I'm the Six Gates' Divine Constable. How many can match my anti-detection abilities? Among those capable Constables in the Six Gates, which one wasn't trained by me? If the Six Gates can't catch me, let alone those Jianghu people."

"You are quite proud." Gu Mo smiled and said, "However, there is something illogical in what you just said."

"Where?" Zhuo Qingfeng said, "Is it because my injuries healed so quickly? That's because I'm practicing the authentic Taoist internal energy Changchun Gong. The more time passes, the more mellow this technique becomes. It has infinite magical uses. It can not only prolong life but also drive away poisons and heal injuries. The internal energy is very long-lasting."

Gu Mo shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that. It's that you were able to escape from the hands of the Silver Fox? In fact, according to your own words, you fought against the Silver Fox and were not at a disadvantage, and even had the upper hand. Then the scholar and the white-headed old man ambushed you, and you escaped. Only then were you betrayed by Xiao Xuan and were completely defeated. That was the Silver Fox. The Silver Fox wanted to kill you, and he needed help? How could you have the upper hand in a head-on fight with the Silver Fox?"

Zhuo Qingfeng said anxiously: "Hero Gu, please believe me. Although it is hard to believe, this is the truth. I..."

"I believe."

"what?"

Seeing Gu Mo's straightforward words, Zhuo Qingfeng was confused and asked, "Why? That matter is indeed hard to believe. I can gain the upper hand against the Silver Fox."

"It's precisely because this statement is so obviously false that I believe you," Gu Mo said, "If you really wanted to lie to me, you wouldn't be so stupid as to make up a lie that no one would believe."

Zhuo Qingfeng sighed and said, "Actually, even now, I still can't figure out how I could possibly gain the upper hand with Silver Fox's strength. Logically speaking, I shouldn't even have a chance to escape."

"It's very simple," Gu Mo said, "either the Silver Fox you encountered was a fake, or the Silver Fox in the Wang Family Manor that left so many masters no chance to struggle was a fake. Well, that's not important. What's important is, why are you looking for me now?"

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "Please help me. I want to know the truth of this matter. As long as I confront Xiao Xuan, everything will be revealed. It wasn't me who betrayed the Six Gates, but him."

Gu Mo said, "You mean, it was Xiao Xuan who colluded with the descendants of the Wood King and plotted to steal the Wood King's treasure. When he failed to kill you, he directly framed you for the crime of killing his colleagues and stealing the treasure token."

"That's what it looks like at the moment," Zhuo Qingfeng said.

"What about the old man with white hair and the scholar?" Gu Mo said: "According to what you said, these two were also colluding with the descendants of the Wood King. He and Xiao Xuan should be in the same group, but they are dead too."

"I don't know." Zhuo Qingfeng said, "I have to meet Xiao Xuan and confront him to find out. So, Master Gu, please help me!"

Gu Mo said suspiciously, "Captain Zhuo, you don't want me to help you kidnap Deputy Captain Xiao Xuan, do you? I can't do that. You are a wanted criminal now, and I don't want to be your accomplice."

Zhuo Qingfeng quickly said, "Not really, not really. I just can't show up right now. Currently, there are only two people I trust. One is you, and the other is Chu Yuan, the Supervisor of the Six Gates of Linjiang County. However, Lord Chu has a special status, so I can't meet him. If I go to see him openly, I will be exposed immediately."

Gu Mo breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was not asked to kidnap Xiao Xuan, there would be no problem. After all, he was not prepared to be wanted by the court and wander around the world.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Gu Mo asked.

"Lord Chu usually stays at the Six Gates Yamen during the day, so there's really no way I can see him," Zhuo Qingfeng said, "so, I can only ask for your help."

As he spoke, Zhuo Qingfeng took out a jade pendant from his waist and said, "This is a token of trust. As long as Lord Chu sees this jade pendant, he will definitely come to see you. You will tell him the truth and ask him to come here to see me."

Gu Mo took the jade pendant and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Chu Yuan will lead his troops to surround you?"

Zhuo Qingfeng shook his head and said, "He and I have a life-and-death friendship. I've been in Linjiang County for ten years, and he's shielded me from countless attacks. Over the past ten years, everyone has said that the Six Gates of Linjiang County owe their prestige to me. In reality, I've achieved this thanks to his support. He deserves half the credit. I've always had my back. If he doesn't believe me now, then I'll be speechless even if I die."

"Trust them so much?" "Some people you wouldn't trust even if you were with them for your entire life, but some people you would trust immensely even if you only met them once." Zhuo Qingfeng said.

"There seems to be something wrong."

Gu Mo complained, picked up the jade pendant, and shouted: "Chu Dong, take me to the Liushenmen Yamen."

"oh oh,"

Gu Chudong stood up hurriedly and said, "Well, Captain Zhuo, there's food in the kitchen. If you're hungry, go get it yourself."

Then, he followed Gu Mo out the door.

……

There is no curfew in Linjiang County. To be more precise, there is no such thing as a curfew in the entire Qian Kingdom. Especially in the big cities, there will be various night markets after dark, so there will be no trouble walking in the city at night.

Gu Chudong brought Gu Mo to the Liushenmen Yamen.

A middle-aged yamen runner who was guarding the door came over and took a look at Gu Mo and Gu Chudong. Seeing that they were not dressed like ordinary people, he asked, "What are you two doing here? Are you here to report a crime?"

Gu Mo bowed and said, "I am Gu Mo, the ghostwriter. I have been asked to deliver something to Lord Chu Yuanchu. Please let him know."

The bailiff hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, a young bailiff ran up behind him and said enthusiastically, "So you're Gu Mo, the great hero. Do you have any token of loyalty? If not, it's fine. I'll just pass the message down for you."

"Have."

Gu Mo took out the jade pendant and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

"Where there is, it should be."

Immediately, the young yamen runner pulled the middle-aged yamen runner away.

"Who is that person?" the middle-aged yamen runner asked. "Why are you so polite?"

The young yamen runner said, "I usually tell you to pay more attention to the affairs of the martial arts world, but you refuse to listen and even accuse me of not doing my job properly. The man just now is a newly promoted gold medal ghostwriter. People in the martial arts world call him the Blind Man. He was the one who killed Feilong. Iron Arhat and Red-faced Beast were the Blind Man among the four gold medal ghostwriters who fought against Silver Fox at the Wang family in Yong'an County some time ago!"

"Oh oh oh, it's him!"

"Don't call someone blind to their face..."

"..."

Gu Mo and Gu Chudong were waiting quietly at the door.

That night, there were few people coming in and out of the Liushenmen Yamen, and it was very deserted.

Not long after, a serious-looking middle-aged man walked out. He was wearing a long robe. With every move he made, his robe sleeves fluttered gently, and he exuded an aura as steady as a mountain. Every step he took seemed to carry a tremendous force. Wherever he passed, the yamen runners bowed their heads and held their breath, showing great respect. This man was none other than Chu Yuan, the head of the Six Gates of Linjiang County and the Inspector.

"Are you Mr. Gu?" Chu Yuan asked hurriedly as he came out, "Where is he?"

"I'm at my house and would like to meet you, Lord Chu." Gu Mo said.

"Let's go, let's lead the way, Master Gu." Chu Yuan said hurriedly.

Gu Mo asked doubtfully, "Master Chu, aren't you bringing any people with you?"

Chu Yuan was stunned: "Why bring people with you? What if someone sees us?"

"Uh...too."

Gu Mo was speechless. No wonder Zhuo Qingfeng dared to trust Chu Yuan so much. These two people really had a tacit understanding and trusted each other without reservation.

Chu Yuan also understood what Gu Mo meant and explained, "I personally carved that jade pendant and gave it to him. No one else in this world knows its meaning except him and me. Since he asked you to give it to him, it means he trusts you very much, so I naturally don't have to doubt it."

"I see, please!"

Not long after,

Gu Mo and Gu Chudong took Chu Yuan back to the courtyard.

Gu Mo originally thought that a sad story would be staged, but he didn't expect Chu Yuan to say directly when he saw Zhuo Qingfeng as soon as he entered the room: "This time, you are in trouble. It will be difficult for you to clear your suspicion."

Zhuo Qingfeng asked, "Can I see Xiao Xuan? I want to confront him."

"I can't see you anymore," Chu Yuan said. "He's dead. He died after explaining what happened that day. The government didn't make it public because they wanted to try and lure you into a trap to avenge the assassination of Xiao Xuan."

Immediately,

Zhuo Qingfeng told Chu Yuan about the siege and ambush that day, and then asked, "What's the situation with Xiao Xuan?"

Chu Yuan said, "Just as you said, we were robbed by a group of masked men in Da Deng Valley. You, Bai Tou Weng, and the scholar shared most of the firepower. The fight got farther and farther away, and we disappeared after we entered the woods.

On their side, the fighting continued. During the process, the old man with white hair and the scholar rushed back to help them repel the enemy. In the end, the fighting was very difficult and everyone was exhausted before they finally repelled the enemy. Then you came back.

When everyone was still rejoicing that nothing had happened to you, you suddenly attacked and killed the two most skilled martial artists, the scholar and the old man with white hair, by surprise. Then, before Xiao Xuan could react, you struck him with a sword and started a killing spree.

At that time, apart from Bai Tou Weng, the scholar, and Xiao Xuan, there were only five or six of the dozen or so Six Gates constables left. Moreover, they were all exhausted and injured, and were easily slaughtered by you. Then you took the iron box containing the treasure token and left.

Xiao Xuan's heart collapsed to the left side, and he barely managed to hold on. With help, he held on until the Six Gates found him. After he told the whole story, he died on the spot. It's unlikely that he lied to frame you. There's no reason for him to risk his life to frame you and harm you.
