Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

"Master Blade Bearer." Manager Jia saluted respectfully.

Seeing this, Gong Ziyu looked at Gong Yuanzheng who was looking at him without saying a word.

The two of them looked like enemies, their eyes meeting each other with crackling eyes.

Gong Ziyu raised his chin slightly, and Jin Fan reminded him from behind: "Master Zheng, according to the rules, you should bow when you see the Master of the Blade."

"Who are you?" Gong Yuanzheng walked down the stairs and approached Jin Fan, saying disdainfully, "Are you worthy enough to talk to me?"

A mere Green Jade guard, relying on his master, dares to bite people?

He would never bow to Gong Ziyu, who was suspected of replacing his sister's medicine!

Jin Fan took a step back and was pulled to Gong Ziyu's side for protection. He had endured Gong Yuanzheng enough until now, so he opened his mouth softly and said that he would report the matter to the Council of Elders.

Gong Yuanzheng felt a tightness in his heart.

The Council of Elders was clearly on Gong Ziyu's side, and it was wrong for him not to salute Gong Ziyu, who was holding the sword.

If the suspicion of changing the dressing is confirmed, then he and Gong Ziyu will have a blood feud. Even if he is punished by the Council of Elders, he will never bow to him and will even bite his throat.

But now he has not found any evidence, and his brother has not come back. If he is put in solitary confinement by the Council of Elders, who will protect his sister?

Gritting his teeth and swallowing, Gong Yuanzheng adjusted his attitude, lowered his head slightly, and called out, "Master Blade Wielder."

He just wanted to tease him, but he didn't expect the boy to take it seriously. If he insisted on not paying his respects, he would not really hand him over to the Council of Elders.

Seeing the young man bend and stretch so well to bow to him, Gong Ziyu blinked awkwardly, waved his hand, and softened his voice slightly to give him a way out: "You're welcome, Mr. Zheng."

However, this set of movements made him seem superior, as if he was wielding a blade, which only made Gong Yuanzheng more angry.

Walking up the stairs and picking up a bottle of poison, Gong Ziyu asked Gong Yuanzheng about the poison his father and brother were poisoned with.

The young man gave the answers one by one, including the characteristics of the fairy dust poison that Old Zhiren and the young master were infected with, whether it was difficult to decipher, and how difficult it was to obtain. Until Gong Ziyu asked "Is it difficult to defend against", his face changed.

Gong Ziyu suspected that there was something wrong with the Baicaocui prepared by Gong Yuanzheng, and wanted to hold the person who made Baicaocui accountable, which was actually holding Gong Yuanzheng accountable.

He was suspected of assaulting his sister, and now he came to the clinic to deal with him.

Is it really Gong Ziyu who wants to harm my sister?

He wanted to take advantage of his brother's absence from the palace to eliminate his sister and him one by one, cut off his brother's arms, and thereby secure his position as the swordsman?

Perhaps Gong Ziyu hadn't anticipated the deaths of Old Zhiren and the Young Master, but after he was pushed into the position of Zhiren... No! Steward Jia had delivered the medicine to his sister the day before yesterday, when Old Zhiren and the Young Master hadn't gotten into trouble yet. Besides, Gong Ziyu couldn't possibly have such a conspiratorial mind.

If it was really him, then why did he attack my sister?

If it wasn't him, it must be Manager Jia!

Looking at the aura and airs of Gong Ziyu, who was holding the blade, Gong Yuanzheng collected his thoughts and said that he came here to check Baicaocui and there was no problem with Baicaocui. He retorted that instead of looking for his problem, it would be better to check the servants who served the old Zhiren and the young master who took Baicaocui. Don't frame Zhiren before he even has time to sit in the position.

The two eventually parted on bad terms.

Although the two of them had parted ways unhappily many times, Gong Ziyu felt that the way Gong Yuanzheng looked at him had changed.

He used to look at trash with disdain, but now there seems to be more hatred and deep murderous intent in his eyes?

The position of the Blade Master wasn't his to sit on, so why did he hate him so much? Gong Ziyu was puzzled, and then he thought of another possibility.

Gong Yuanzheng has always wanted Gong Shangjiao to take the position of the Blade Master. Perhaps the death of his father and brother is related to Gong Yuanzheng. Even if the timing of his action does not make sense, it may be some unexpected coincidence.

After all, the moment he learned that his father and brother had died of poisoning, he already had doubts about Gong Yuanzheng in his heart.

Looking at Gong Ziyu's departing figure, Gong Yuanzheng said: "He's a beast in human form."

A cruel and ruthless guy.

"Young Master, are you suspecting Young Master Yu?" Not daring to address Gong Ziyu as "Zhiren" in front of Gong Yuanzheng, Manager Jia sounded doubtful. Then he became certain, "It can't be Young Master Yu. I can guarantee that Young Master Yu didn't touch the Heart-Protecting Pill in my hand the night before last."

"It's either Gong Ziyu or you."

Gong Yuanzheng looked at Manager Jia with an inquiring look: "You seem very sure that Gong Ziyu didn't do it. You swore to vouch for him this morning, and now you're saying the same thing again."

"Could it really be you?"

"No! No!" Manager Jia knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, his body already shaking like a sieve.

"Master Yuanzheng, it really wasn't me!"

"Then why... do you protect Gong Ziyu to the point of putting yourself in danger?"

Gong Yuanzheng squatted on the ground and reached out to pinch Manager Jia's shoulders. As the force tightened, the creaking sound of the bones being pinched was extremely clear in the room. Manager Jia was old and could not bear the pain. He cried out and trembled in pain, but he said nothing else.

Seeing that Manager Jia was gritting his teeth and persisting, Gong Yuanzheng speculated, "Does he have something on you that he has a hold over you?"

Manager Jia's body trembled even more violently, gritting his teeth and trembling: "No, no, I'm telling the truth... Master Zheng, please believe me... uh... or bring me to the Second Young Lady. The Second Young Lady will definitely be able to tell whether I'm lying or not..."

"You are a suspect. Do you think I would bring someone as dangerous as you to my sister?"

"Besides, there are so many ways to get the truth out of you." Gong Yuanzheng smiled cruelly and handed a pill to Manager Jia. "Take it."

It's easy to guess what this is. Manager Jia was so scared that he almost fainted, crying and shouting that he was innocent.

"It seems that you want to be questioned by me somewhere else."

Grabbing Manager Jia, Gong Yuanzheng was about to drag him to the dungeon.

Walking out of the clinic, Gong Yuanzheng saw the guards of Zheng Gong and wondered, "What's wrong?"

Did something happen to my sister?

He became anxious at the thought.

The guard saluted and said, "Master Zheng, Master Jiao has returned and has just entered the mountain gate."

"Brother is back..." Hearing that his brother had finally returned, Gong Yuanzheng couldn't help but feel happy. He threw the steward Jia in his hand to the guards and said, "Imprison him to the Zheng Palace. Order all the rooms to be cordoned off. Post a few people inside to keep an eye on him. Don't let anything happen to him."

"Yes." The guard picked up Manager Jia, whose legs were too weak to stand up, and dragged him towards Zheng Palace.

As long as my brother is around, my sister's safety can be guaranteed. After he pried out the identity of the murderer who murdered my sister from Manager Jia, my brother will never let him go, no matter how biased the Council of Elders is!
