This day passed by seemingly uneventfully.

That night, Li Cunxi sat in Di Renjie's room. There was a bag of mung bean cakes and a few cups of tea on the table.

Soon, the East Flower Hall caught fire and the servants in the Governor's Mansion began to put out the fire. In a panic, Fang Qian escaped from the room to avoid the fire.

Li Yuanfang and Hu Jinghui secretly broke into Fang Qian's room and found the white medicine that Fang Qian had applied on the bed.

"My Lord and Cunxi are so smart!"

Li Yuanfang was filled with emotion. He quickly collected some money and returned to Di Renjie's room with Hu Jinghui.

"Sir, we found it." Li Yuanfang placed the handful of white medicine on the table. "It has been confirmed. It is white medicine."

"It's Baiyao, hehe, Cunxi is really smart, he actually guessed this guy's identity."

Di Renjie also sat down. Now Fang Qian's identity was basically confirmed. He just had to wait for Di Chun to bring the things over in three or four days to confirm Li Cunxi's guess.

"Sir, who exactly is Fang Qian?" Li Yuanfang asked in confusion, "Why do I feel like you guys don't tell me anything?"

"His name is Liu Jin, the secretary during the Yuewang Rebellion." Li Cunxi put down the mung bean cake and yawned. "Uncle, I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to go back to sleep. Call me tomorrow morning. We can play with this guy again. Maybe we can dig out the viper and Jin Mulan."

"Okay, you go back, Jinghui, you go back too, Yuanfang, come with me to comfort this Lord Fang."

After Li Cunxi and Hu Jinghui left, Li Yuanfang still looked confused.

He looked at Di Renjie and asked, "Sir, what is going on?"

Di Renjie took a sip of tea and said, "Let's talk while we walk. Actually, this is what happened. We went to the governor's mansion again this morning. In the secret passage of the governor's mansion, we confirmed that what Fang Qian said was false. Then, we made a plan for tonight."

"But, sir, why is Fang Qian Liu Jin?"

"Yuan Fang, think about it, why did we find a person who was imprisoned in the secret passage for only one night at most, but claimed to have been imprisoned for three years? Of course it was the fake Fang Qian who leaked the secret, but he was clearly only imprisoned for one night, which means that the fake Fang Qian had kept it a secret from Cun Xi."

Di Renjie talked as he walked.

"Then what is his purpose in hiding this from Cun Xi? Of course, he is afraid that Cun Xi is also a fake, so he can secretly send the real Fang Qian to us through Cun Xi."

"Last night, Fang Qian kicked out the servants who served him, and we felt something was wrong. Now I can only be sure that it was definitely Liu Jin and not Fang Qian. He colluded with Jin Mulan behind the scenes and tried to gain my trust, intending to make Youzhou their territory again."

"But I have always had a question... He is obviously Liu Jin, so why does his handprint match Fang Qian's?"

……

The next day, Di Renjie got up early and strolled in the yard.

Even if Di Chun rode as fast as he could until a few horses died, it would still take at least a day and a half to get back to Youzhou.

Therefore, it is obviously impossible to judge the problem between Liu Jin and Fang Qian based on the library files brought by Di Chun within these two days.

Then he could only start with Fang Qian and trick him.

"Yuan Fang, go and invite Lord Fang over."

Seeing that Hu Jinghui and Li Cunxi had arrived, Di Renjie asked Li Yuanfang to invite them.

"Yes."

Li Yuanfang clasped his fists and left, heading towards the East Flower Hall.

Soon, Li Yuanfang brought Fang Qian into the lobby.

"Master Fang, please sit down." Di Renjie pointed to a chair on the side with a smile.

"Thank you, sir."

Fang Qian secretly glanced at Li Cunxi who was sitting on the other side. This kid is not a good guy.

The riot at the Wucheng Bingmasi happened because this guy used a trick to deceive his own stand-in.

In the end, the stand-in was tricked into rebelling, which completely ruined Jin Mulan's plan.

"Master Fang, why are you staring at me?" Li Cunxi put down the mung bean cake in his hand and said with a smile, "Does Master Fang like my mung bean cake too?"

"Young Master is joking."

"Brother Yuanfang, please give this mung bean cake of mine to Lord Fang."

"Sir, you don't have to do this. I don't like this. It's too sweet."

"I don't like it... I thought Lord Fang had been in the secret passage for more than three years, so he should want to eat everything he sees." Li Cunxi held up a piece of mung bean cake with regret, ate it, and chewed it very fragrantly.

Fang Qian already felt something was wrong at this moment, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "You are right, but I am not a greedy person. How can I compete with you for these things?"

"Master Fang, don't bother with Cunxi." Di Renjie said with a smile, "Cunxi has always eaten mung bean cakes as meals. We don't like to eat this, so Cunxi always wants to share it with others. Master Fang doesn't like to eat this, so I came here today to ask if Master Fang is in poor health."

Fang Qian was slightly stunned, and quickly said: "No, even if there is something wrong, it should be... malnutrition caused by not taking in nutrients for a long time."

"In this case, why not ask a doctor to come over and check on Lord Fang so that he can be nursed back to health?"

"It shouldn't be necessary... What are you doing?" Fang Qian widened his eyes with an incredible expression.

Two Qianniu Guards rushed into the lobby in full view of everyone and quickly stripped off Fang Qian's shirt.

Under his robe and inside his shirt, his entire body was covered with scars.

"Brother Jinghui, you probably haven't noticed that Liu Jin, whom you have been secretly interrogating in the earthen kiln outside Chang'an for more than a year, is actually this thief."

"When you interrogated him, you probably didn't notice the human skin mask on his face."

Li Cunxi was chewing a mung bean cake and his speech was already slurred.

However, Hu Jinghui, who had already checked the answer, immediately stepped forward to identify it.

After carefully examining the wounds on Fang Qian's body, Hu Jinghui said quickly:

"Yes, it's this traitor!"

"The scars on his body were left by the Qianniu Guards' Seven Star Whip and Rib Knife. I can tell at a glance!"

Hu Jinghui kicked Liu Jin, who was still in a daze, off the chair. He rolled on the ground for several rounds. The two Qianniu Guards were unable to hold Fang Qian down.

This powerful kick almost killed Fang Qian.

Without waiting for Fang Qian to recover, he kicked Fang Qian with great force, pinning him down, unable to move.

Hu Jinghui drew the sword from his waist, put it on Fang Qian's neck, and roared:

"You traitor, I can change your face, but I can't change your skin!"

"Tell me where the list is! Hand it over quickly, you bastard!"

Li Cunxi swallowed the mung bean cake residue between his teeth, held his chin and said:

"Brother Jinghui, I'm afraid that list is no longer with him."
