Chapter 65: Things Past
He asked, "Is there really no good news at all"“Only worse…” Wen Lianmu said wearily, “Not only is Chongxuan striking those businesses, but also the Oozawa family, who knows what madness has gotten i...In the moments of waiting, time seems to drag on endlessly.
But luckily, it’s finally over.
When two porters, carrying a large iron-black chest, walked to the front of the main hall.
It is known that half an hour has passed.
Two strongmen, full of energy and vitality, were both masters at the Tenglong Realm. They carried such a heavy chest without even breaking a sweat.
Look at their steadfast demeanor, they are definitely not ordinary people. They must be the elite under the command of the esteemed Master Xuan.
The evidence they "chose" to bring up from Mount Fening wouldn't be simple.
"Oh Has your evidence arrived"
Zhang Weiyu's expression is very calm now.
It's difficult to guess what he's thinking from his expression.
And Chong Xuan ignored him completely, addressing only Dugu Xiaodao: "Dugu Pavilion Master, Zhang sir said he wants to speak with evidence. You should tell him!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Dugu Xiaoyu strode forward.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In Zhang Weiyu's gaze, she walked very steadily.
There was a large padlock on the chest. Dugu Xiaochong took the key from one of the porters and opened the lock.
Then he opened the box lid.
From the iron-black box, a person bound hand and foot was dragged out.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This is an ordinary-looking man.
There were no visible wounds on his body, but his eyes were glazed over and his face was vacant. He was dragged out of the box and only subconsciously lowered his head and buried his eyes.
Although Dugu Xiao's cultivation wasn't high, dragging someone like this didn't take much effort. He simply grabbed the man's collar and dragged him into the Zhengsheng Hall.
This kind of dragging is very similar to Zhang Weiyue's dragging of Fan Qingqing before.
In this progression, Dugu Xiao had a feeling he had never experienced before: the sensation of controlling other people's destinies.
This made her steps more stable.
Who is this person
This is the most pressing issue on people's minds right now on Mount Funing.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Fan Qingqing, curled up on the ground, was also a little lost.
But she suddenly thought of a possibility, her eyes shrinking abruptly!
獨孤小 just at this moment opened her mouth, she used a rather calm tone, slowly said: "This Zhengsheng Hall, and the old master's courtyard, have always been cleaned by me alone. Every time I clean Zhengsheng Hall, Fan sister..."
She seemed to have made a slip of the tongue, quickly correcting herself: “Fan Qingqing will always be with me. At first, I just thought she liked this place, liked this palace she supervised the construction of herself. Now I know, there's another reason. She's been watching me, afraid that I would discover her secret…”
Chongxuan Sheng listened silently, his expression unchanged. Perhaps only he understood that Duguxiao had no feelings for Fan Qingqing at all. In fact, it was Duguxiao who discovered and told him about Fan Qingqing. The words seemed to express deep emotion, but they were merely a mask, concealing her true intentions.
However, he did not detest this kind of scheming.
Although he was born into a noble family, he didn't have everything handed to him. He understood very well that ordinary people who want to move forward always have to give something up and sacrifice something.
But Dugu Xiao was still continuing to recount: "A month ago, I discovered this man. Every time he came to Qingyang Town, he always did things in a very regular way. I thought something was wrong with him, but I didn't know what his purpose was, and I was afraid of alarming him. It wasn't until after the old master's incident that I remembered this, and I told Young Master Chongxuan."
...the young master Chongxuan took him into custody for questioning. Only then did he learn that he was a spy working for the Diao Hailou to gather intelligence.
He didn't know Fan Qingqing, and Fan Qingqing didn't know him. The two had never met. They only completed intelligence transactions at a fixed location. That is, here. Funing Mountain, Zhengsheng Hall.
Fan Qingqing gave Dugu Xiao a deep look.
She always thought that she was just a loyal, simple little girl.
But now she realized that she had never truly understood this Dugu Xiao who was so attentive and devoted to her.
She spent almost every day with Dugu Xiao, yet she never found anything amiss about him here.
These days, she has been urging Dugu Xiao to leave Qi with her. Dugu Xiao's resolute refusal, instead, made her feel that this child was even more reliable.
She considered herself a seasoned veteran, imparting her knowledge of the Dugu martial arts while also taking it upon herself to guide the young one through the complexities of the world. But today, she received a harsh lesson from her student!
Dugu Xiao had always known that she was supplying information to the Diaohai Lou, yet she acted so innocent and clueless in front of her!
...and Chongxuan Sheng, the one who made her not even dare to look at him right now...
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
She finally understood why the other party didn't fight for her, and even expected her to frame someone. Because with this witness in hand, her framing would actually prove Jiang Wang's innocence more than her own truth! Moreover, Chong Xuan Sheng could even use her framing to send Zhang Weiyu to hell as well.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Such intelligence and ruthlessness!
“So…,” Zhang Weiyue could now see many things clearly. He looked at Chong Xuansheng, “The fake news about the Egalitarian Nation was still just a distraction. This is your real trap”
"What do you mean by 'trap' I don't understand." Chongxuan shook his head: "I only just learned about this myself, and I didn't expect you to know it too, let alone that you misunderstood! Zhang sir, why do you have such a prejudice against Jiang Wang"
He looked utterly perplexed: “Jealousy Or greed”
“I have no prejudice against Jiang Wang. I just follow the clues and make judgments based on evidence.” Zhang Weiyu forced himself to calm down and said seriously, “Sometimes mistakes can be made, it's my limited ability, not because of personal bias. In fact, I personally admire Jiang Qingyang!”
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
"You know why I'm willing to play with you for so long" Chong Xuan chuckled, "Because you're like a monkey performing, just passing by and I'll casually cheer you on... You act so convincingly, comical and adorable!"
As he said this, he also gave a thumbs-up.
Of course, he didn't appreciate Zhang Weiyu's performance either. He never watched monkeys performing.
Though this may seem hurtful, it's really just a facade on his part.
>
In this confrontation.
He first set a superficial trap, claiming that the Hell's Gate had a stronghold in Qingyang Town and Jiang Wang was a member of Hell's Gate, providing some seemingly credible evidence.
Anyone with a discerning eye wouldn't need to come to Qingyang Town. A little investigation would reveal its falseness. Then one might wonder, is this a cover-up for something
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
Only under this circumstance can we uncover the clues about the Equal Nation that seem to be hidden in the mist.
Of course, that's also fake.
It's impossible to hide anything from someone as observant as Zhang Weihui.
Under this situation, it was Fan Qingqing's task to gather information for the Diaolou. This was a matter of some significance, but not overly grand. If she collaborated with Jiang Wang, then it became a major event, but if she didn't, it would simply be a minor one.
>
Zhong Xuan Sheng had already secured the key witness, just waiting for someone to bring this matter to light.
On this complex layout basis, the first conflict between him and Zhang Weiyue was ignited, with Zhang Weiyue "narrowly" winning entry into the game!
But in fact, all of this was precisely to cover up the original rumor.
In this way, layer by layer, the relationship between Jiang Wang and Hell's Gate became ridiculous and laughable. No one would believe it anymore. Even if Su She appeared and Yin Guan spoke up, people would only think it was a frame-up.
In this round, the most superficial part is actually the core.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As long as someone enters the game, Chongxuan Sheng is the winner, no matter who the opponent is. Because the bait is the hook, Zhang Weiyue, is just a coincidence.
At such a moment, Zhang Weiyǔ sat there silently, as if not angered by Chong Xuan's mockery.
In fact, he didn't leave himself any room to be angry. His mind was racing, thinking about how much resources he had used and how much effort he had put in, only to end up with nothing in the end. What should he do
How can this loss be compensated
All that he had been through pushed him to keep moving forward, never to stay put.
And when Chong Xuan didn't get a response to his provocation, he said softly: "Speaking of which, I'm quite curious. The person who collects information is in my hands. You haven't met the person selling the information yet. Then how did you know that Diao Hai Lou used Fan Qingqing to collect information about the country"
He leaned forward slightly, looking at Zhang Weiyu: "Could it be... that you learned about this from someone in intelligence"
Zhang Weiyǔ was startled!
>
This is the reverse, chasing his army and seeking out his sources of information. Saying he is the one who colluded with the Diaohailou!
...and his sources of information were, in fact, hardly credible!
His sudden fright caused him to unconsciously flash a menacing look.
Zhong Xuan Sheng had already nimbly risen from his seat and stood behind Ma Xiong.
It's hard to imagine that someone so overweight could be so agile.
He used Ma Xiong as a shield and earnestly said, "Ma sir, in the face of right and wrong, you won't continue to pretend to be ignorant, will you If he becomes desperate and tries to harm me, you must protect me!"
Zhang Weiyu: ...
He of course couldn't possibly make a move against Chongxuan here. Although for a moment, he almost felt the urge to kill him.
There is no doubt that coming to Qingyang Town this time was the wrong choice.
Being able to surpass the brilliant and powerful Chongxuan Feng Hua, Chongxuan Sheng is far from an easy opponent to deal with.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But his life was still long. As long as the Minister of State, Chen Fu, was willing to support him, he would still have room for mistakes.
>
If one were to attack Chong Xuan today, they would be doomed for eternity.
Just one look at the expressions on everyone's faces in the crowd.
Although Ma Xiong didn't immediately voice his opinion, the look in his eyes already showed a certain amount of wariness.
The soldiers of the Zhan Yu Army outside Zheng Sheng Dian, though he had used his connections to bring them here, were clearly on guard. After all, they were Qi State's elite warriors and belonged to no one privately.
"I have my own sources of information. If Beiya wants to investigate, I will be honest with them." Zhang Weiyue said calmly, "But there's no need for you to know about it."
“Good!” Chong Xuan gently clapped his hands: “Then let’s leave it to Beiya to ask you!”
There is still a lot to be explored about the source of Zhang Weiyue's information.
But he didn't need to come forward himself.
Zhang Weiyù wanted to take the position of Northern Army Preceptor, but he didn't ask if the current Northern Army Preceptor was willing!
"And all I want to ask you..." He walked out from behind Ma Xiong, looking down at Zhang Weiyue: "Those who colluded with the Diaohailou have been caught, and Zhang has made a great contribution! Truly worthy of being the person Dr. Chen favors. So now, shouldn't we leave"
“Of course.” Zhang Weiyu actually smiled at this moment, and he stood up and said: “Actually, I have no conflict with Mr. Chongxuan. Some disputes are just out of public heart. Now that the truth of the case has been clarified, Qingyangzi’s innocence has been washed away, and the spy from Dihailou has also been caught, it is indeed thanks to Mr. Chongxuan's help!”
Actually, this matter could still be entangled, but facing Chong Xuan Sheng, he really didn't know if it was a real opportunity or another bait from the other party.
The position of Northern Palace Cavalry Captain is out of reach now, so recovering some losses is better than nothing.
Zhong Xuan smiled: "You are indeed frugal."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“It seems that Young Master Chongxuan is giving me high praise.” Zhang Weiyue smiled broadly, looking like he had successfully completed his mission. It seemed as if he had indeed done a perfect job, and Chongxuan was truly complimenting him.
“This person.”
He gestured towards Fan Qingqing with a flick of his finger. "Shall I take her away Or does Young Master Chongxuan have some further questions he wishes to ask in private"
This is a way to show Fan Qingqing's goodwill and give Chong Xuan Sheng a chance to vent.
It seems that Fan Qingqing, despite being sheltered by Jiang Wang, betrayed him in this manner, almost dragging him into the mire. Heavy Xuan's heart must surely hold resentment towards her.
This appears to be a code snippet rather than a piece of text for translation.Let me know if you have any actual text within the > that needs translating!
Zhong Xuan smiled and said, "Zhang sir is still good at handling official business."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Master Chongxuan!" Fan Qingqing spoke urgently at this moment.
She knew very well what awaited her this time.
Therefore, she wore a mournful expression, appearing truly heartbroken: "I know I have betrayed Master Jiang's trust and deserve to die. Since things have come to this, I don't ask for anything. As master and servant, before my execution, I only wish to see Master Jiang one last time!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
She pressed herself down, her head crashing heavily onto the ground: "Please, Master Chongxuan, grant my wish!"
That's the kind of sound it makes when you hit it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But Chong Xuan didn't move an eyebrow, only smiling and saying, "I'm really sorry, I can't get in touch with Jiang Wang right now either."
Fan Qingqing lifted her head, her long hair cascading down, tears streaming down her face as she pleaded: "I built the Zhengsheng Hall for Lord Jiang and managed his estate. I may not have any merit, but I certainly put in the effort. No matter what circumstances arose, I never slandered Lord Jiang once...Please..."
"Good." Chongxuan smiled and readily agreed: "I'll get in touch with Jiang Wang and pass on the message. Have a safe journey."
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
"Xiao Xiao!" Fan Qingqing looked at Dugu Xia with desperation, "Although we don't have a formal master-disciple relationship, we act like one. Can you please say a few words for me"
"Sister Fan," Du Gu Xiao sighed, her expression mournful: "I'm just a lowly maid... This way, when the master returns, I will tell him."
Fan Qingqing first cried, then laughed, acting as if she were crazy.
But over there, Chongxuan was already whispering to Fourteen about something, his smile radiant.
Zhang Weiyǔ watched with cold eyes, his understanding of this fat young master's cruel side deepened.
With a wave of his hand, two soldiers came forward, lifted Fan Qingqing up, and dragged her out.
Fan Qingqing was thus carried away, dragged backward out of this grand hall she had personally overseen its construction.
Her gaze swept over the tables and chairs in the hall, the window latticework and hanging curtains.
Zhou Xuan Sheng, with a beaming smile all over his face, Zhang Wei Yu, who also wore a harmonious expression, and Dugu Xiao, who sat down quietly and properly.
It all, has gradually faded away.
I don't know why.
She suddenly remembered, she was on that stormy ship back then.
>
The old man, as though divinely empowered, seized her in an instant. The fear that gripped her was immeasurable...
She once thought she was going to be killed by a casual squeeze.
That young prodigy, with a youthful air, looked straight at the powerful deity and said:—
"She is my subordinate and has never broken the rules. Please release her."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Please let her go...
Who else in this world would treat me like this

Fan Qingqing closed her eyes, and finally dissolved, those emotions that she had performed.the most distant Qingyun Pavilion cultivator, catching up to him and severing his neck. Then he gouged out his heart and liver.The swallows, hearing Jiang Wang's shouts, abandoned their pursuit. They...
