Yu Zhijian was a little absent-minded. Seeing Yunyue coming back from outside, he stood up and asked, "Any clues?"

Yunyue shook her head, indicating that she had not found any useful information.

Now Yu Zhijian really had a headache.

He had a premonition that Mr. Yan's disappearance case was complicated, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated.

Yu Zhijian looked at Yunyue and asked, "How much do you think Song Guguang's words are true?"

Yun Yue waved her hand and said, "It's hard to say. It's normal for a wealthy and powerful man from such an aristocratic family to have concubines and illegitimate children."

Yu Zhijian frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Yan is a great scholar known to the world. He is a man of high moral character. How could he do such a dirty thing?"

Yun Yue said indifferently, "There are many people like this who are upright in front of others but filthy behind their backs. Everyone knows that the Yan family in Youzhou is famous for its many rules. How could they dare to let outsiders know about such a shameful thing as lusting after beauty?"

Yu Zhijian approached Song Guguang to investigate Yan Mingzhe's disappearance. He wanted to see how Song Guguang would explain the fact that he concealed his identity and approached Yan Mingzhe.

I expected that Song Guguan would say that he was just talking casually at that time, and he would use the reputation of an imperial examination student to provide himself with some insurance.

You should know that students taking the imperial examinations are registered with the court. If you fail to take the examination on time, the court will send people to investigate the reason.

If a student was killed on the way to the exam, the court would definitely investigate thoroughly.

Therefore, the bandits on the road are now reluctant to rob students who are taking the imperial examinations. They will not get much money and will attract the imperial court, which is not worth the loss.

Or maybe Song Guguan said that he admired Yan Mingzhe's talent and wanted to make friends with him, so he deliberately said that he was a student taking an exam.

Yu Zhijian had anticipated various reasonable reasons or excuses, but he never expected it.

Song Guguang is actually Yan Mingzhe’s illegitimate son! ! !

This news was so bizarre and outrageous that Yu Zhijian was completely stunned when he heard it. For a moment he couldn't tell whether it was true or false.

Logically speaking, given Yan Mingzhe's identity and status, it is normal for him to take a concubine, and it is unlikely that he would reveal his offspring to the outside world.

Besides, I have never heard that Mrs. Yan is the kind of narrow-minded, jealous, and shrew who can't tolerate the existence of other women.

Song Guguang's explanation for this was that his biological mother was a woman from a brothel.

The Yan family in Youzhou has very strict family rules and will never allow their children to have any involvement with prostitutes.

So Yan Mingzhe has been raising Song Guguang and his mother outside for these years, without any official status.

Yan Mingzhe has been nice to them mother and son over the years, so their father-son relationship is also pretty good.

This meeting in this inn was not a coincidence, but Yan Mingzhe had invited Song Guguang to the inn for a meeting in advance.

But because of Song Guguang's identity as an illegitimate child, he pretended to be a student taking an exam, so that he could naturally come into contact with Yan Mingzhe.

The reason why Song Guguan was arranged to come to the inn to meet Yan Mingzhe was not only because he wanted to see him.

Another point is that Yan Mingzhe knew that Song Guguang was not a good student.

Over the years, although Song Guguang has been fostered outside, the Yan family cannot help Song Guguang's future.

But after all, he is his own child, so Yan Mingzhe also has the idea of letting Song Guguang and Fu Hongxuan become friends.

He wanted Fu Hongxuan to take care of Song Guguang. After all, Fu Hongxuan was the most powerful among all Yan Mingzhe's disciples.

With Fu Hongxuan taking care of him, Song Guguan's future will be much smoother.

However, Yan Mingzhe still found it difficult to talk about Song Guguang's identity, not to mention that Fu Hongxuan was his disciple.

Naturally, he didn't want his disciples to know that he had such a shameful past.

He wanted to pretend that he and Song Guguang got along well, and then introduce them to Fu Hongxuan, and then try to reconcile them. For his own sake, Fu Hongxuan would look at Song Guguang differently.

That way half the job is done.

At this point, Yu Zhijianjue's outrageous behavior could barely be explained.

But what happened next made Yu Zhijian feel that the development of this matter was outrageous yet also somewhat reasonable.

Song Guguang said that Yan Mingzhe came to him that night and wanted to introduce Fu Hongxuan to him, but before he could finish his words, he smelled a burnt smell in the room.

When they opened the door, they saw thick smoke and the waiter ran over to tell them that there was a fire.

Although they escaped from the room together, they couldn't see anything in the thick smoke and eventually they got separated.

Song Guguang ran to the backyard and was choked by the smoke and fainted. When he woke up, he found out that Yan Mingzhe was missing.

The reason why Song Guguan came to Yizhou was to look for Yan Mingzhe.

He also felt that Yan Mingzhe's disappearance for no apparent reason was very strange, and that it was very likely that Yan Mingzhe was kidnapped by nearby bandits.

He was very worried about Yan Mingzhe, but for Yan Mingzhe's reputation he did not dare to admit his identity.

After all, in Fu Hongxuan's eyes, Song Guguang and Yan Mingzhe were strangers who met by chance.

If he showed too much, it would arouse Fu Hongxuan's suspicion, so Song Guguan could only look for it privately.

As for why he frequently moved among the wealthy merchants in Yizhou, it was because a strong dragon could not defeat a local snake, and the fastest way to find people was to find local talents.

The inn where the accident occurred was right on the border of Yizhou, and the locals must be most familiar with the local situation.

The reason why Song Guguan chose to tell Yu Zhijian was very simple, because Yu Zhijian had already come to him.

He is not stupid. Yu Zhijian came to him at this time, he must have some suspicion about him.

If Song Guguan chose to conceal the truth again at this time, and Yu Zhijian found out, it would become known to everyone, which was a result he did not want to see.

That's why I chose to tell Yu Zhijian the truth, hoping that Yu Zhijian could keep it secret.
