Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.

The following day, under the arrangement of Feng Manlou and Yun Fan, the Feng and Yun families began packing their luggage and preparing to secretly leave Jianta City to settle down in Nanzhao City in the far south.

For safety reasons, Feng Manlou and Yun Fan spent a lot of money to hire a security escort agency to send people to escort them. There were twenty-seven escorts at the Food Turbidity Realm, two escort leaders at the Food Disaster Realm, and one escort leader at the Food Fiend Realm.

A team of thirty escorts is enough to handle most of the dangers encountered on the journey.

After the family left Sword Tower City, Feng Manlou and Yun Fan began their revenge plan.

They naturally wouldn't trust the Lu Si Mansion, much less consider any so-called "big picture," because they weren't part of that "big picture." All they knew was that their loved ones had been killed by the Lu Si Mansion, and they had to retaliate in kind, paying for their blood debts.

"Old Feng, the first step in our revenge is to start with Ah Gou!" Yun Fan's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Feng Manlou sneered, "Fine, we'll let that Lu fellow taste what it's like to lose a loved one!"

As trusted confidants of the Lu Si family for many years, Feng Manlou and Yun Fan had been together day and night and knew almost everything.

This includes the fact that Ah Gou and Lu Sifu are relatives.

Outsiders were unaware that the Lu Sifu family thought they had covered it up well. In reality, Feng Manlou and Yun Fan knew exactly what was going on, but since the Lu Sifu family didn't say anything, they pretended to be confused and knew nothing.

Feng Manlou and Yun Fan visited the Lu family again, demanding an explanation from the Lu family.

However, faced with such a dead end, the Lu Si government had no way to explain itself.

Therefore, the Lu Si Mansion remained silent, simply bowing their heads to burn charcoal and brew tea.

Yunfan, holding a wine gourd, took a sip of the fine wine and said coldly, "Commander, my brother and I naturally believe that you have not done anything to wrong us, but you must provide evidence."

"If you can't produce it, it's alright. I, Yun, have a way to clear the name of the commander."

Upon hearing this, Lu Sifu raised an eyebrow: "Oh? This general is all ears."

Yunfan held the wine gourd and pretended to drink, secretly giving Feng Manlou a look.

Feng Manlou immediately understood and said casually, "This matter is simple. You personally transferred that Ah Gou to the Night Patrol Division. You have done him a great favor, and Ah Gou respects you very much and regards him as your benefactor."

“Now that Ah Gou is hanging out with Zhou Qingfeng and his gang, he must know a lot of secrets, such as whether the autopsy report was forged by Zhou Qingfeng and his gang. You can find out by asking Ah Gou.”

To appease the two, Lu Sifu thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement: "Alright, I'll call Ah Gou over right away."

The servants in the manor received instructions and hurried to the Night Patrol Division to find Ah Gou.

Before long, Ah Gou was brought back to the Lu residence. As soon as he stepped into the hall, the door was closed.

Ah Gou glanced around and saw that Lu Sifu was sitting in the head seat, brewing tea over charcoal. So he took three steps forward, bowed, and clasped his hands: "Ah Gou greets the Commander. May I ask what important matter the Commander has summoned Ah Gou to give me?"

Lu Sifu picked up the teapot that had been brewing tea, poured a cup of tea, and then placed the teapot on the placemat. He then used the fire tongs to stir the charcoal fire in the stove: "Agou, I have something to ask you. Don't be nervous, just tell me the truth."

Ah Gou cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Commander."

Lu Sifu nodded slowly and glanced at the screen.

Behind the screen were Feng and Yun, who were hiding to the side.

"You spend all your time with that Commander Zhou, do you know what he's been plotting behind my back?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Gou cupped his hands and said, "It's a confidential matter, so Ah Gou can only say that I'm working on a major case with Commander Zhou."

Seeing this, the official changed his question: "Do you know if the autopsy report was forged?"

Ah Gou shook his head: "I don't know."

Lu Sifu frowned immediately: "Agou, how have I treated you?"

Ah Gou hesitated for a moment: "Without the commander recruiting me into the Night Patrol Division, there would be no Ah Gou today."

"Agou is grateful for your kindness and has always regarded you as his benefactor."

"Even if you make Ah Gou go through fire and water, Ah Gou will not even blink an eye."

Upon hearing this, Lu Sifu nodded in satisfaction: "Good. If I were to tell you that Commander Zhou intends to murder me, would you help him or me?"

Agou was stunned by the question and hurriedly said, "How could that be? You are a very good person, and so is Commander Zhou. How could Commander Zhou harm you? There must be a misunderstanding. Don't be fooled by villains."

"Did Feng Manlou and Yun Fan say something to you? They're not good people, Commander!"

Ah Gou really didn't know the core secret, because Zhou Qingfeng had never mentioned it to him. After all, not everyone has the courage to go against the Lu Si Mansion. So in Ah Gou's eyes, the bad guys were Feng and Yun, but had nothing to do with the 'good guy' Lu Si Mansion.

"Hehehe... We're not good people, so does that mean the Road Administration is good? Ah Gou, you think too highly of the Road Administration." Feng and Yun sneered repeatedly as they slowly emerged from behind the screen.

Lu Sifu looked at them coldly: "Did I, the commander, allow you to come out?"

Feng Manlou shrugged, completely unconcerned, with a "go ahead and kill me if you dare" attitude.

Yunfan swayed up behind Agou, patted Agou's shoulders with both hands, and said with a grin, "Agou, let me tell you, we're in cahoots with Lu Sifu, and Lu Sifu is the mastermind."

“We were involved in human trafficking together; we did countless dirty and bad things together.”

Lu Sifu slammed his fist on the table, furious: "Enough! Yunfan, Fengmanlou, what are you trying to do?"

Yunfan raised his hand, took a half step back, and said with a grin, "I don't want to do anything, I just want to be clear so that it will be easier to communicate."

At this point, Yunfan walked around to Ah Gou's front, revealing a morbid and insane smile: "Ah Gou, now that you know such an important secret, if we just let you go like this, you'll definitely go and tell Zhou Qingfeng."

"So today you either betray Zhou Qingfeng and his gang and work with us."

"Either you don't walk out of this door alive, or you choose to do it yourself."

Ah Gou was terrified. He looked at Yun Fan, then at Feng Manlou, and finally, with his last hope, looked towards the Lu Si Mansion: "Lord, is it true? Is this really true?"

Lu Sifu looked at Feng Manlou and Yun Fan, his heart filled with rage. These two bastards actually wanted to drag Agou into this hellish situation. However, on the surface, in order to protect Agou, he couldn't get angry.

Lu Sifu feigned indifference: "Speak, tell me everything you know. If you don't, you won't be able to leave."

Ah Gou trembled violently with fear: "The commander has treated me with the greatest kindness, I will never betray him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Gou reached out and grabbed a piece of burning coal from the stove, stuffing it into his mouth.

"Sizzle sizzle..." A wisp of smoke rose from Ah Gou's mouth. The pain made him kneel down on the spot, cover his mouth, and hold the charcoal fire tightly in his mouth, letting the charcoal fire melt and burn his throat and tongue.

He was a novice cultivator, possessing only magical power. Although his body had been comprehensively strengthened by the power, he had not cultivated any physical skills. He was merely a mortal, vulnerable to swords and blades, and could not withstand the burning of charcoal.

"Agou!" Upon seeing this, Lu Sifu was stunned and instinctively lost his composure. He quickly stepped forward and hugged Agou tightly, saying, "What are you doing? Spit it out, spit it out!"

Feng Manlou and Yun Fan exchanged a glance, a hint of vengeful pleasure flashing in their eyes. At the same time, a cold and cruel smile curled at the corners of their mouths. Knowing full well what was going on, they asked, "Commander, why have you lost your composure?"
