Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 75 Gift of Jade Flute

"me……"

"Tick...tick..."

The embroiderer couldn't help but raise her sleeve to cover her nose, "How disgusting!"

Gu Zhao stood up and slapped Liu Qingfeng in the face, knocking him to the ground. "Are you awake?"

"Wake up, wake up!" Liu Qingfeng replied immediately, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Sir, spare me! Miss, spare me! It's my aunt who married the Yuan Mansion Commander, it has nothing to do with me!"

Gu Zhao nodded and smiled, "He's quite smart. He knows who implicated him."

Liu Qingfeng cried, "That Yuan family, no, Yuan Wenrui is a sinister villain, a shameless person! When he first came to Changping Prefecture, he begged and pleaded to marry my aunt. After he got in touch with the Jinfeng Sect, he took in many concubines and became estranged from my Liu family.

Moreover, this person has a wolf-like look and a vicious heart. He exploits the people and takes human life lightly. He is corrupt and abuses power, bringing disaster to the country and the people. I don't know how many innocent lives he has killed. Even death cannot atone for his sins!
Although I am a descendant of the Liu family, I have nothing to do with him. Moreover... I have a grudge against him, yes! He even scolded me harshly last time!

The embroiderer curled her lips and said, "You're so jealous just because I scolded you once. You're really petty."

Liu Qingfeng complained, "But I didn't do anything! I didn't seduce his concubine, nor did I steal his gold and silver. I was just strolling around the mansion's garden and saw him go into the secret room, but I didn't follow him in!"

"Hmm?" Gu Zhao's eyes flashed, and then he looked at Zhuo Qingyan.

Zhuo Qingyan was also a smart girl. After thinking about it, she stretched out her jade hand and gently waved it in front of Liu Qingfeng.

The jade hands were slender, soft, white and tender. If he had met her on ordinary days, he would have played with them for two hours without getting tired of it. But at this moment, Liu Qingfeng only felt the hairs on his face stand up, and a cold moisture seemed to penetrate his skin and seep into his bones.

"Tell me all the information you have about Yuan Wenrui, otherwise..." Zhuo Qingyan interrupted at the crucial point.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Qingfeng did not hesitate at all. He did not even raise any conditions like "spare my life if I tell you so." He just poured out all the information directly.

Although it was all over the place and not in proper order, he did tell everyone everything, even the news he overheard from his third concubine about her favorite sex positions.

Gu Zhao clicked his tongue, "As expected of someone who follows the Golden Wind Sect, this posture is actually quite difficult."

The embroiderer lowered her head and dared not look up, while Zhuo Qingyan's pale and blue face seemed a little faded.

Liu Qingfeng spoke for a long time and they summarized the key points.

Yuan Wenrui came to Changping Prefecture with the Changping Prefecture Secretary thirty years ago, and then went to Jiangyang Prefecture for academic examination. Twenty years ago, he returned with the appointment of Jiangzhou Prefecture Magistrate and served as the Changping Prefecture Magistrate. From then on, he served in this position for twenty years.

When Yuan Wenrui first became the prefect, he had no foundation, so he married the daughter of the Liu family, a powerful family in Changping Prefecture, and then publicly endorsed the Golden Wind Sect, thus consolidating his position.

According to Liu Qingfeng, Yuan Wenrui was in his fifties at this time, but he was in very good condition and looked to be in his thirties. He was energetic and had a rosy complexion. It was said that he had taken the elixir offered by the Golden Wind Sect.

It is not known whether Yuan Wenrui has practiced cultivation, but he does have two great masters enshrined in his mansion to protect him.

The last key point is the secret room where Liu Qingfeng was scolded by Yuan Wenrui. He did not enter the secret room, but it was not because he did not want to go, but because he wanted to go in but was discovered.

"I was drunk at the time and was just a little curious!" Liu Qingfeng explained, "but I didn't actually go in!"

Yuan Wenrui's secret room is neither in the bedroom nor in the study, but in the backyard garden, which is very secretive.

"If he built the secret room in the study, I wouldn't even see it, so how could I be curious and want to go in?" Liu Qingfeng felt very wronged.

Gu Zhao nodded, "That makes sense." Liu Qingfeng nodded repeatedly, then licked his lips and said expectantly, "I, I've said everything. Can you, can you let me go?"

"Of course." Gu Zhao nodded and patted Liu Qingfeng on the shoulder. "I'll send you away now."

Liu Qingfeng's eyes lit up, covering up the ferocity in his eyes, and a pure smile appeared on his face. Then he heard Gu Zhao say, "Be a good person in your next life."

"What?" Liu Qingfeng's pupils shrank, and he was about to beg for mercy, but then he felt a headache, his vision went black, and he knew nothing.

Looking at Liu Qingfeng falling to the ground, Gu Zhao took a deep breath and said, "It's really easy for a magician to kill people."

He didn't use any magic just now, but just concentrated his consciousness into a sharp mental spike, which lightly stabbed Liu Qingfeng's brain and shattered his soul.

Taoist Master Yansong stood up and said, "The rain has stopped."

Gu Zhao nodded, "Let's go."

A moment later, a carriage drove away from the dilapidated River God Temple, and a fire started in the side hall of the temple after the rain. In a short time, the side hall was burned down and collapsed, burying the corpses of several people who had committed many evil deeds and assisted the tyrant.

……

"Liu Qingfeng is just an ordinary person after all. He doesn't know the strength of those two great mages." Gu Zhao began to summarize. "Also, Yuan Wenrui is in collusion with the Golden Wind Sect. There may be people from the Golden Wind Sect in the mansion."

"Besides, there may be other masters in the mansion." Taoist Master Yansong added, "The visible sentries are just targets, the hidden sentries are the key."

Gu Zhao ate a melon seed handed to him by the embroiderer and laughed, "The Changping government office is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"

Zhuo Qingyan was silent for a few breaths. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Gu Zhao bowing towards her, "Miss Zhuo, I still need your help in dealing with Yuan Wenrui. I need you to break your rules."

"Huh?" Zhuo Qingyan was stunned.

Gu Zhao opened the cabinet on the side and took out a jade flute from it. "If you play music with this flute, can it increase its power?"

Zhuo Qingyan took the jade flute in a daze, and felt the spiritual power and mental fluctuations in the jade flute.

This is a magic weapon with spiritual attributes.

Zhuo Qingyan's eyes jumped, and she subconsciously brought the jade flute close to her lips. Just a light note was played, and Gu Zhao and the other two felt their souls jump.

Zhuo Qingyan took the jade flute in her hand and looked at Gu Zhao deeply.

"How?" Gu Zhao asked.

"What a magic weapon." Zhuo Qingyan gently stroked the jade flute.

"That's good." Gu Zhao nodded. "I'm tone-deaf and can't play it at all. You're the only one among us who can bring out the full power of this flute."

Zhuo Qingyan pursed her lips and raised the jade flute again. Then, a song filled with tenderness and longing began to play like spring rain, gently brushing across the hearts of several people and causing a few ripples.

The song ends and the music fades away, but the lingering sound lingers in the air.

Zhuo Qingyan put away the jade flute, nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Gu."
