Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 560.1: The Truth Not Surfacing

Originally, it was planning to have the person dragged out and initiate an attack, but the clues seemingly just severed all of a sudden.

Li Hong Yuan’s one leg was bent stepping on the recliner, while the other leg was placed on the ground. Jing Wan’s legs were naturally half bent, sitting between his legs, leaning against his body. She was still in her normal everyday at-home attire, no different from when she would nap on normal days. Just, unfortunately, right now wasn’t the afternoon nap time, and moreover, starting from last night to now, she has already been deeply asleep for over twenty hours.

This while, there was still a ray of light coming from the horizon, but believe that very soon, it will disappear. The daytime was getting shorter and shorter after all.

The Li Hong Yuan at this very moment was very calm, even the terrifying air around him was seemingly all gone. Of course, the premise being that one doesn’t look at his eyes, he was completely just a quiet male beauty.

Qing Ju’s soft sobbing, unknown as to when, also disappeared. Clearly there were quite a few people present, yet it was terrifyingly silent, like as if not daring to breathe loudly. That kind of feeling really wasn’t good.

“Have the person waken.” Li Hong Yuan’s rather low voice sounded.

Who he was referring to, it was obvious to tell.

Gong Jiu took out the silver needle and went forward. After inserting a few needles, Qing Yi who was on the ground just showed signs of waking. ———-The main courtyard was the most special place in the entire manor. If this was outside, there won’t be such a comfortable way of waking up.

As for Gong Jiu, that kick from Li Hong Yuan wasn’t light. He figured that three of his ribs must be cracked. However, this actually was already considered light. If his master had really used all his strength, then he would’ve died. After all, breaking the rib and puncturing the lungs, this kind of thing, for his master, really wasn’t considered very difficult. With this level of injury, Gong Jiu just appeared to have a bit of a bad complexion. Everything else, regardless whether it was walking or applying the needles, his movements were all very steady, unable to make out anything wrong.

Qing Yi although was a spy, but inherently he was still a performer. In the early years, he just got arranged in Jin Qinwang Manor. One has to know, Li Hong Yuan has always concealed himself very well. Even if fearful of him as a person, they still didn’t have him treated as a true threat, because a single person, no matter how aggressive, still can’t overturn the heavens. For them to plant a spy in his manor, it was also just based on a cautious mind, unwilling to have anything overlooked.

Besides, such a person, it goes without saying that they won’t be valued, perhaps long having gotten forgotten about. Getting entrusted with such heavy responsibility at this special time………..

As a member of the lowest rung, regardless of how smooth and slick they were in the ways of the world, when facing someone like Li Hong Yuan, that was just like an ant, able to be easily crushed to death.

That’s why, this while, when facing Li Hong Yuan in person, even if doing his best to control himself, his body still trembled all over. And that appearance made the people below Li Hong Yuan both puzzled and gloomy. Even this kind of person is able to be a spy? But the reality was just he not only was a spy, he even succeeded! However, this time, it also ruthlessly gave them a lesson. Sure enough, can’t underestimate anyone. Previously, didn’t they precisely not have this kind of person taken seriously, and because he knew his place, they never suspected before. However, the lesson this time, for them, truly was a bit too painful.

If wangfei were to from hereon ‘never wake’……..then the aftermath, they didn’t even dare to imagine. Just this current situation already made them can’t help but tremble.

“That thing, when and where did you obtain it?” Li Hong Yuan calmly asked.

In reality, Qing Yi’s matter was the only area they found that was detrimental towards Jing Wan. However, because he himself didn’t know what it was——–even if he says that is gu, but according to the interrogation results, it was just what the person that gave him the thing told him. He didn’t know what the bug looked like, and aside from knowing that it will make the person fall into a deep slumber, he didn’t know anything else. If it was someone that completely didn’t understand this thing, then perhaps would just get fooled, yet there just so happened to be Gong Jiu, this ‘accident’, that seemingly was very knowledgable of gu, yet also completely didn’t have any memories of it. That’s why, this matter actually still has some suspicious areas. Could it be that, this person was just a shield, and the true culprit that did it was still hidden?

This question got asked not just once. Even if previously suffering an enormous punishment, the pressure still wasn’t as great as facing Li Hong Yuan. He tremblingly had the previous words repeated.

TN: All

Although of low status, they nevertheless didn’t forbid them from leaving the manor. These people, compared to certain upper class manors’ concubines and such, who absolutely weren’t allowed to step out of the second gate, their degree of freedom was still a bit higher.

Shortly after, Li Hong Yuan let someone bring over the guards that knew when Qing Yi went out. This while, even if knowing something was wrong, they still didn’t dare to hide anything. In reality, all the testimonies were the same, and there weren’t any conflicting areas. Even if carefully cross-examining, there still weren’t any area worth doubting.

“The others on duty that day, investigate again.”

Regardless whether or not they were related, since Li Hong Yuan ordered to investigate, they certainly will need to carefully investigate again.

The first time, there weren’t any problems. The second time, there weren’t any problems. However, when it came the third time, there was a problem. That day, there was clearly a guard that because of some matters, changed patrol times with another guard. In other words, he originally shouldn’t have been on patrol, yet he was the same as the others in the squad, expressing that he’d seen Qing Yi. This bit was just fairly abnormal, and what was even more abnormal was that the others in the squad all expressed that it was precisely this guy that patrolled with them.

Guard Qian, as the head of the guards, the manor’s security was all arranged by him. Every half month, he would have the guards all broken up and reorganized into squads. The time in which Qing Yi went out, it was more or less around the seventh to eighth day, so there was completely no reason for them to mix up their own teammate. But, that comrade that ‘filled in’ expressed that it was him that went patrolling. Moreover, he absolutely didn’t see Qing Yi. Under normal circumstances, when twelve people were saying the same thing, and one person was saying something else, it goes without saying that all would choose to believe the former.

However, Guard Qian and the others’ complexion all changed along with. If not for having all the guards called over, and not just the ones on duty that day, this bit probably will get overlooked.

When everyone was all saying the same thing, the one that was different perhaps was the key.

And everything else aside, in Gong Jiu’s hand, there was precisely this kind of drug, able to have a person’s memories in a certain time frame blurred. And if someone were to make a conscious effort, then can just let them specially remember things that you want them to remember.

As for whether or not it was this kind of situation, it wasn’t difficult to prove, just need to carefully ask about some other things.

Sure enough, aside from Qing Yi’s matter, the other memories were all very blurry, especially the person that changed shifts, even showing signs of memory disorder.

And this kind of situation just happened to match the effects of that drug in Gong Jiu’s hand.

This time, not just Li Hong Yuan, even the others’ gaze towards Gong Jiu seemingly were all a bit off.
