Chapter 555 It turns out to be the Prince An of Great Chu, who was on the run after his rebellion!
Chapter 555 It was actually the Prince An of Great Chu, who had rebelled and fled!
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Wang Dacheng smiled obsequiously, as if he had received a pardon.
"Shut up, you traitor!" Zhang Erdan shouted, while Liu Jing looked at him with disdain.
“I said, I know, Chairman Zhang has sided with a mysterious person, called, called Master Lu!” Wang Dacheng said, his voice trembling.
"Who is Master Lu?" Gu Yuanjin pressed.
"I only met him once. He was about my height, with a long, horse-like face and a mole next to his nose. I don't know what he did or what."
All I know is that he arrested Chairman Zhang's wife and children and pressured him until Chairman Zhang had no choice.
Wang Dacheng paused, as if he had made up his mind, "Chairman Zhang was almost killed, so he turned to Master Lu and saved his life. We followed him and turned to him too."
"Wang Dacheng, you traitor! How could I, Zhang Erdan, have a colleague like you! What's the use of your words! Even if I, Zhang Erdan, have wronged heaven and earth, I cannot wrong my wife, children, and parents. I..."
As he spoke, Zhang Erdan burst into tears, looking utterly miserable.
"Hit them!" Gu Qingyue said, watching the two of them put on such a smooth act.
Yue Ling lashed Zhang Erdan with her whip again, and a scream rang out.
Wang Dacheng's eyelids twitched, and he lowered his eyes.
But the next instant, the whip struck him.
"Ah-------" Wang Dacheng's scream almost lifted the roof off.
"I... I told you why you still hit me?" Wang Dacheng started to shed tears.
“Heh------ Continue,” Gu Qingyue turned around, “Father, you should go out first, it’s dirty.”
Gu Changling shook his head. "It's alright, you can continue."
Gu Qingyue's lips twitched; watching the interrogation was no fun!
But whatever, he's a general who came from the bloody battlefield, so it's nothing.
"You tell me, who is Master Lu?" Gu Qingyue asked Liu Jing again.
Liu Jing was clearly a tough nut to crack; she wouldn't answer any of Gu Qingyue's questions.
"Liu Jing! You traitor! How has Mo Ge wronged you that you would betray us with Zhang Erdan?"
Old Feng spoke with great sorrow, "Liu Jing used to be such a good child, how could she have become like this!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Jing closed her eyes and remained silent.
One wrong step leads to another, and now there's no turning back.
Gu Qingyue stood up; she didn't want to waste any more time arguing with these guys.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Zhang Erdan. "Come on, you tell me yourself! You're too bold as an underling, daring to lie so openly. I still believe you, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Erdan turned to look at Gu Qingyue, staring straight into her shimmering eyes, and was taken aback.
By the time I got back to the Gu residence, it was almost dark. Before I knew it, I had spent the whole day dealing with things there.
The matter has been clarified, but no one is happy.
Indeed, the mysterious man called himself Master Lu. According to Zhang Erdan, he came from the capital and was very wealthy. He gave Zhang Erdan 100,000 taels of silver on their first date.
But his appearance was not as Wang Dacheng described. Instead, he was tall, handsome, and noble. This was something he had seen by chance once. Master Lu had always seen the people from the Ink Pavilion wearing half-face masks.
So nobody knew what he looked like except themselves.
His guards were all highly skilled. The leader of the Moge Guard Corps couldn't even last a hundred moves against Master Lu's personal bodyguards before being killed.
He estimated that those bodyguards of Master Lu were all Grandmasters, or were close to reaching the Grandmaster level.
As for Hu Yuanwai, he had submitted to Master Lu in his early years, and he would go to the capital every year to send tribute.
I haven't gone yet this year.
As for Master Lu's current whereabouts, he didn't know.
However, he guessed that Master Lu might have hundreds or even thousands of men under his command, making him extremely powerful!
After getting the information about the mastermind, everyone else was still clueless, wondering who this Master Lu was and what his background was.
But Gu Qingyue already had a vague idea of who to choose.
She was sitting at the table, sketching a portrait.
The man in the portrait is handsome and tall, with bright and shining eyes, exuding nobility and extraordinary charm.
It was definitely him.
"Senior brother?" Gu Qingyue looked up and found Liu Feng sitting motionless at the stone table in her courtyard, waiting for her.
Looking at the man's solemn profile, Gu Qingyue felt a pang of sadness for a moment.
Zhang Erdan also confessed that he was the one who wiped out the Yang family back then, and that Master Lu lent them manpower.
No wonder the Yang family brought many experts to worship their ancestors back then, but they were still slaughtered. It turned out that it was Master Lu who made the move.
In other words, several major upheavals in the Mo Pavilion back then were orchestrated by Master Lu through Zhang Erdan. He first tried to win them over, and when that failed, he eliminated them by force.
Afterwards, Zhang Erdan was destined to die at the hands of his senior brother Liu Feng. Although he could kill his enemy with his own hands, he would never see his deceased family members again.
How regrettable and tragic!
"Junior Sister!" Liu Feng stood up when he heard the voice.
"Is it finished? I'll take it over now and let Zhang Erdan identify it," Liu Feng was clearly in a bad mood.
Gu Qingyue raised her hand and patted his shoulder to comfort him.
With a soft sigh, he said, "After you've identified him, Zhang Erdan will be yours."
Liu Feng nodded, looking at the person in the portrait, and frowned. Although he had never seen him, he had a strong feeling that he disliked the person's features.
Gu Qingyue watched Liu Feng's figure disappear before sitting down at the table again.
It's now clear that the reason Mo Ge is in such a mess is because of Master Lu's interference. His goal is very clear: he wants to take over Mo Ge for himself.
However, while the rebels in these chambers of commerce have been dealt with, there are still rebels at other canal docks and even in the craftsmen's guilds, making it no easy task to eliminate them.
Moreover, Master Lu can continue to recruit others in the Ink Pavilion at any time. If Master Lu doesn't disappear, then everyone else could become the next Zhang Erdan. How many people can resist the temptation of spending 100,000 taels of silver?
big head!
That evening, Liu Feng returned with slightly red eyes. Gu Qingyue completely understood his feelings; it was good for him to cry, after all, he had avenged his family.
"It's the person in the painting, the one Erdan saw before," Liu Feng said in a low voice.
Gu Qingyue nodded. Yes, it must be him, Prince An!
It is clear that Prince An had indeed fled to the vicinity of Lizhou.
"Who is he?" Liu Feng asked, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
"King An of Great Chu!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng slammed his fist on the table.
He never imagined that it would be the Prince An of Great Chu, who had rebelled and fled!
No wonder he's so wealthy and powerful, and all his subordinates are highly skilled in martial arts.
"If it's Prince An, then I roughly know how his men practice martial arts. They all use the Ink Blood Gu from the Nanzhao Wizard Temple. It's said that after planting the Gu, one's internal strength will greatly increase, and their strength should be formidable. Even the Royal Dragon Guards are no match for them."
