Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao once again came to the Blade Hall. Just like before, the three elders sat at the top, Gong Ziyu stood beside him, and there was a kneeling steward Jia beside him.

After the two came in, they saw Gong Ziyu smiling smugly.

"Shang Jiao and Yuan Zheng have arrived. Just tell me what you want to say!"

Ugh!

Ugh···

The elders in front sighed one after another and frowned.

Gong Ziyu first glanced at the two of them, then kicked Manager Jia hard on the ground, causing him to stagger. Manager Jia did not dare to make a sound.

"Manager Jia, please repeat what you said to me yesterday."

Manager Jia avoided looking at the two people standing behind him. He gritted his teeth and finished speaking in one breath, as if he had thrown away a broken jar.

"It was Master Zheng who ordered this old servant to replace the Divine Feather Flower in the Herb Extract with the Spirit Grass Flower. They were the ones who conspired to return the old blade. This matter has nothing to do with me!"

Gong Yuanzheng was so angry that he kicked Manager Jia once, and then kicked him twice.

"You little dog slave, you dare to bite me? I'm going to beat you to death today."

When he was about to kick, Gong Ziyu stopped him. The two of them started pushing each other after a disagreement.

"Who is behind you? Tell me—"

Seeing the situation getting out of control again, the elder couldn't help but feel veins bulging on his forehead.

"Stop—Yuanzheng, what do you mean by asking the person behind the scenes?"

Gong Yuanzheng forcefully brushed away Gong Ziyu's grip on his collar, rested for a moment, and clasped his fists.

"Manager Jia alone couldn't have done it. There must be a mastermind behind him."

"Aren't you the one who ordered him? We have witnesses and evidence. Why are you still trying to make excuses?"

Gong Ziyu's face was full of dissatisfaction, but seeing that the two men didn't seem to be panicking at all, he looked at Manager Jia with some uncertainty.

Seeing the forced expression on Manager Jia's face, he felt that he was being too suspicious.

"Brother Zi Yu, after you caught this guy, you just listened to his story and didn't investigate him, did you?"

"What do you mean? He is Gong Zheng's. How can you say he has nothing to do with Gong Yuanzheng?"

Gong Shangjiao did not argue with Gong Ziyu, but turned to the three elders and said.

"Meet the elders. Ever since the incident with Old Zhiren, the two of us have been investigating the matter of Baicao Cui. We've also long suspected that Manager Jia was suspicious, but we haven't touched him yet. We wanted to wait and see if anyone suspicious contacted him."

"Oh? Did you find anything?"

Gong Shangjiao shook his head, feeling a little disappointed, and then smiled indifferently.

"Before, I wanted to wait for the person behind this to confess voluntarily, but now it seems that's not necessary. I can throw him in jail and torture him in every possible way. I'm not afraid that he won't tell me."

Then he walked up to Manager Jia with a cold look, glanced at him with an extremely contemptuous attitude.

"Yuanzheng has just developed several new poisons recently, so it's a good opportunity to try them out."

Manager Jia was so frightened that he trembled and kept looking up at Gong Shangjiao.

"Could it be that you're trying to force a confession out of me and make Manager Jia take the blame for everything? That's not impossible."

While the two were talking, Manager Jia took advantage of the situation and pulled out two hidden weapons from his bosom. He flicked his wide sleeves and shot them out, both of which shot towards the elder at the same time.

Clang! ! !

At the moment the hidden weapon was thrown, Gong Yuanzheng also took out three flying arrows from his weapon bag and shot them at the hidden weapon.

Bang bang!

Two hidden weapons suddenly exploded, and a pungent smell of smoke filled the air, accompanied by the muffled groan of an arrow hitting flesh.
