Chapter 45: Going to Yong'an County Again (4K Reading Request)
For a moment, Zhuo Qingfeng was silent and didn't know what to say. He originally thought that he was betrayed by Xiao Xuan, and wanted to confront Xiao Xuan with Chu Yuan's help to clear his suspicion.

As a result, Xiao Xuan died, which made him lose his direction all of a sudden.

"Do you have any other clues?" Chu Yuan asked.

Zhuo Qingfeng shook his head and said, "Right now, I'm afraid the only way to prove my innocence is to capture the descendants of the Wood King. However, up to now, the Wood King's descendants have not appeared, and there is no direction at all. The only clue is the Silver Fox, but this person's whereabouts are treacherous, and it is difficult to start."

Chu Yuan frowned. He and Zhuo Qingfeng had similar initial thoughts, except that Zhuo Qingfeng thought that he could find out the result by confronting Xiao Xuan, while Chu Yuan thought that as long as he met Zhuo Qingfeng, everything would be revealed.

However, now that the two have met, the situation has become even more unpredictable.

At this moment,
Gu Mo suddenly spoke up and said, "Actually, it's not that we don't have a direction."

Zhuo Qingfeng quickly asked, "Master Gu, please speak."

Gu Mo said slowly, "I've listened to what you two have said so far. It seems complicated, but in fact, if you break it down, there are only two points. That day in Da Deng Valley, there were two Zhuo Qingfengs, two Xiao Xuans, two white-headed old men, two scholars, and a Silver Fox with unusual strength."

Chu Yuan said slowly: "Indeed, if Xiao Xuan didn't lie, and Qingfeng you didn't lie, then it means that both of you were deceived. The Xiao Xuan you saw was fake, and the you Xiao Xuan saw was also fake. It's just that you didn't notice it, and you were attacked without any defense.

In addition, two of the White-headed Old Man and the Scholar also appeared. One pair attacked you, and the other pair was killed in the Big Lantern Valley."

Zhuo Qingfeng's mind was a little confused, and he said, "What does this mean?"

Gu Mo said, "This means that one of your enemies is a master of deception who can make the fake look real. So we might as well make a bold guess that there are two Silver Foxes, one is fake and the other is real."

At this point, Gu Mo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he said: "I suddenly seem to understand one thing. I have always felt that something is wrong with what happened in the Wang Family Manor, but I can't figure out what is wrong. Now I think it's Silver Fox!
Before, my sister had said many times that it was fortunate that Silver Fox did not go on a killing spree when we were chasing him in the Wang Family Manor that night. Otherwise, with Silver Fox's strength, more people would have died that night. At that time, I felt that there was something wrong with her words but I couldn't find anything wrong.

But now, I understand.

Considering the fact that Captain Zhuo encountered the Silver Fox in Da Deng Valley and was able to gain the upper hand, we can basically infer that the Silver Fox we encountered at Wang Family Manor that day was not unwilling to kill, but simply had no ability to do so and could only rely on Qing Gong to escape."

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "That's not right. Silver Fox's strength is obvious to all. The three Tong brothers and the Hermit are all top-notch masters. I know the strength of the dozen or so constables of the Six Gates best. My two apprentices are also top-notch masters. And Wang Yuanbao, I've fought with him before. His internal energy is very strong. Although he's a little older, he's definitely not weak if he fights to the death. If Silver Fox wasn't a top-notch expert, how could he have killed all these people with a single blow without making a sound?"

Gu Mo chuckled and asked, "Captain Zhuo, you and Lord Chu are both equally strong, but if I were to suddenly attack and kill someone right now, guess how confident I am that you two wouldn't have time to react before you were killed?"

"This..." Zhuo Qingfeng was stunned.

Gu Mo continued, "Also, there's another unusual thing. If the Silver Fox was really that powerful, why would he have to sneak around and kill the three Tong brothers and the Hermit, creating a gap in the encirclement for him to escape?

Silver Fox killed someone and issued a death notice in advance, which shows that he is a very proud person. Would such a person take such precautions if he was sure of his life? Definitely not. Since he did it, it means that he was not sure of escaping our encirclement. This also reflects that Silver Fox is not as strong as we imagined. At least, the Silver Fox we saw that day was not.

If the silver fox we saw that day was real, or the silver fox you encountered in Da Deng Valley was real, it would mean that the silent killing of so many masters in Wang's Manor was definitely not the Silver Fox's doing. Someone in Wang's Manor was helping him.

If the Silver Fox we saw was fake, and the real one was truly that powerful, then why did he create a fake one? Where did it really go? Is it still at the Wang Family Manor? What was the point of him hiding there? Waiting for Madam Wang to retrieve the treasure token? But when Madam Wang handed it over in public, he didn't show up to take it? Was he unsure he could defeat us, who were completely unprepared at the time? That would also indicate that he wasn't strong enough to silently kill so many masters.

So, generally speaking, what happened at the Wang Family Manor that night was illogical. Silver Fox's strength is a big problem. Something is wrong at the Wang Family Manor!"

Gu Mo's words were a bit confusing, but Zhuo Qingfeng and Chu Yuan both understood.

simply put,
If the Silver Fox's strength is as the world speculates, then there is no need for the real Silver Fox to create a fake Silver Fox, which means that the Silver Fox's strength is not that strong, which indirectly means that someone in the Wang Family Manor is helping the Silver Fox.

Zhuo Qingfeng said: "So, now I should go check on the Wang family?"

Chu Yuan had sorted out his doubts by this time and asked, "Qingfeng, I have another question. Dadeng Valley, the two people who led you to the woods to fight the Silver Fox, are you sure they are the real White-headed Mang and the Scholar?"

"It was certain before, but not sure now." Zhuo Qingfeng said, "However, whether it's certain or not, it can be said that there is something wrong with the old man with white hair and the scholar. If the one who attacked me was real, then there is no need to say more, there must be something wrong. Then if the one who attacked me was fake, then where did he really go during the chaos? Why did he appear again at the end? That also means there is something wrong."

Chu Yuan said: "Then how do you explain their death?"

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "Is it possible that he died in front of Xiao Xuan?"

Chu Yuan said in a deep voice, "You mean, they knew Xiao Xuan was not dead, and in order to make Xiao Xuan believe that Zhuo Qingfeng betrayed the Six Gates, they "died" in front of Xiao Xuan."

"Where is the body now?"

"He was taken away by his family and cremated that same day." Chu Yuanteng stood up and said, "This is... destroying the body!"

Zhuo Qingfeng asked, "Did you verify the identities of the family members of Bai Tou Weng and the scholar at that time?"

"No," Chu Yuan said, "Because at the time, after investigating the scene, it was confirmed that he died from the Seven Star Sky Sword Technique. Mainly, with Xiao Xuan's confession, it was confirmed that the murderer was you. No one paid much attention to the bodies and did not doubt their authenticity at all."

After listening for a long time, Gu Chudong said helplessly, "Then, Captain Zhuo, doesn't this mean that you can't prove your innocence now? Originally, as long as we can prove that the two bodies are fake, we can overturn Xiao Xuan's dying confession."

Zhuo Qingfeng waved his hand and said, "It's not a big problem. We have a clue now. The whole thing has been problematic in the Wang family since the very beginning. First, it can be confirmed that the Silver Fox's strength is not as terrifying as the rumors say. Someone is colluding with the Silver Fox in the Wang family murder.

Secondly, if only Whiteheaded Mang and Scholar worked together with Silver Fox, they wouldn't be able to accomplish something this big. Therefore, there are other people collaborating with Silver Fox who are very familiar with the Wang family and hold considerable power within the Wang family."

Chu Yuan nodded and said, "The thread of events is now clear. Someone within the Wang family, along with the White-headed Old Man, the Scholar, and Silver Fox, is colluding with each other. Judging from the strength Silver Fox has shown, he is not strong enough to sneak into the Wang family manor, which is so tightly controlled. In other words, Silver Fox is likely to have hidden in the Wang family manor in advance. To do this, he must have a certain amount of power within the Wang family.

Afterward, the White-headed Man and the Scholar urged Lin Buqi to challenge Hero Gu, presumably to test his prowess firsthand. Ultimately, after comparing their strength, they realized that breaking through Hero Gu was far more difficult than with the three Tong brothers. Therefore, they decided to collaborate in killing the three Tong brothers, creating a breach and allowing Silver Fox to escape. Gu Chudong wondered, "That doesn't make sense. If Silver Fox had been hiding in the Wang family manor, why didn't he remain hidden after killing Wang Yuanbao? Instead, he took the risk of cutting a breach and escaping in public?"

Chu Yuan explained, "Because if we do that, no one will suspect that Silver Fox is hiding in the Wang family in advance, and naturally no one will suspect that someone inside the Wang family is colluding with Silver Fox. Moreover, they have a second step plan. If they knew that Silver Fox was hiding inside the Wang family and had helpers, would Mrs. Wang dare to hand over the treasure token? Even if she handed it over, everyone inside the Wang family at the time would be suspected, including Bai Tou Weng and the scholar. Qingfeng would not trust them and let them escort together."

Gu Chudong suddenly understood and said, "So that's how it is."

Chu Yuan continued, "With the old man with white hair and the scholar delivering messages in the team, the descendants of the Wood King behind the scenes will naturally be able to know the whereabouts of Qingfeng and the others at any time. Knowing their route, they will ambush them in the Big Lantern Valley in advance."

Zhuo Qingfeng took over the conversation and said, "Now, if I want to prove my innocence, I must capture the descendants of the Wood King or the Silver Fox Bai Tou Weng and others. But now, Bai Tou Weng and the scholar have faked their deaths and escaped. If I want to find clues, I can only look for the traitor within the Wang family."

Chu Yuan said, "I'll go. It's inconvenient for you to show up now."

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "If you go there with a lot of fanfare, you might alert the enemy."

Chu Yuan said, "I won't bring too many people with me. It's reasonable to make routine inquiries about the Wood King's treasure. No one will be suspicious. You can disguise yourself and pretend to be one of my men to go into the Wang family to investigate."

"it is good."

Gu Mo reminded: "Captain Zhuo, although the general thread is clear, there are still doubts. Although we speculate that there is a master of counterfeiting who can disguise himself to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing and deceive trust, and then launch a surprise attack, the three Tong brothers are only three people after all. In the case of being caught off guard, they may indeed be killed. However, there are more than a dozen masters of the Six Gates protecting Wang Yuanbao. It is unlikely that they can kill more than a dozen people silently by simply trusting each other and then launching a surprise attack.

In addition, the biggest question is, if the other party's goal is the Wood King's treasure, then stealing the token is already a success. Why would they go to such great lengths to frame you? "

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Early in the morning, Chu Yuan set out for Yong'an County with several guards, and Zhuo Qingfeng, in disguise, mixed in with his team.

Gu Mo and Gu Chudong also drove to Yong'an County together. However, their destinations were different. Zhuo Qingfeng and Chu Yuan's destination was the Wang family, while Gu Mo's destination was outside the county to kill the evil master Poison Spider.

but,

Chu Yuan and Zhuo Qingfeng were quite anxious. They rode as fast as they could and didn't even rest at night. It took them just over a day to reach Yong'an County. However, Gu Mo and Gu Chudong couldn't go any faster and were still on the way.

Chu Yuan and Zhuo Qingfeng arrived in Yong'an County that night, but in order not to arouse suspicion, they did not rashly go to investigate at night, but went to Wang's house the next morning.

Upon learning that it was Chu Yuan, the Inspector of the Six Gates, who had come to visit, Wang Yuanbao's five sons, daughters-in-law, and Mrs. Wang all came out to greet him in person.

After a greeting,
Chu Yuan then said, "Everyone, the main reason I'm here this time is because this case involves the former rebel Mu Wang, and it has alarmed the court. I need to understand as much detail as possible about this matter, especially the three major guards of Mu Wang's mansion, and what happened on the day when Wang Yuanwai was assassinated. That night, the Six Gates suffered heavy losses, and I also need to reconstruct the events of that day. Originally, this matter should have been reported by Zhuo Qingfeng... Sigh!"

Madam Wang quickly said, "Lord Chu, I understand. You and the other officers are free to investigate and inquire. Our Wang family will fully cooperate. I will tell you everything I know about the affairs of Prince Mu's mansion. As for what happened on the day the master was assassinated, you can ask anyone in the mansion and do your best to reconstruct the scene."

"Thank you, Madam Wang, for your cooperation."

"Please come in."

Mrs. Wang was a very sensible and polite person. The young masters of the Wang family were also well-educated. They all stood respectfully behind Mrs. Wang, waiting for Chu Yuan and others to enter the house.

After entering the Wang Family Manor,

Chu Yuan began to investigate, while Zhuo Qingfeng, who was in disguise, was checking around the manor in the name of inquiry.

……

At the same time, in a valley outside the city.

The whole mountain was covered with maple trees. When the wind blew, the leaves fluttered like dancing green silk or fluttering butterflies. A carriage was slowly approaching, and it was Gu Mo and Gu Chudong.

This place is called the Red Maple Forest because there are maple trees everywhere. In late autumn, the maple leaves turn red and the whole mountain looks like fire.

There is a tavern in the dense forest not far away.

The carriage slowly stopped at the door of the tavern, and a servant hurried out to greet it.

Gu Mo and Gu Chudong stepped into the tavern, where there were only three or five customers scattered around.

The waiter came over and asked, "Sir, what would you like to eat?"

"If you don't want to eat, find someone."

"Who are you looking for, sir?"

"Poisonous spider!"
