Chapter 343: 205 Turn Over a New Leaf_2

"Of course we’ve checked."

Wu Hongqiu’s mouth curled slightly, "It’s just that, we have ways to make her pass the inspection, and in everyone’s eyes, she is innocent."

Dong Minzhu immediately felt relieved and said, "As long as Feng Jiayao was innocent at that time, no one can tarnish her purity."

Wu Hongqiu nodded in agreement and smiled, "That’s also why the Peng Family wants to capture Fang Maofu alive, they want to get his confession."

Dong Minzhu said, "Fang Maofu probably doesn’t know that he slept with Feng Jiayao, does he?"

"Of course."

Wu Hongqiu nodded and said, "However, once Fang Maofu falls into Peng Family’s hands, they can fabricate whatever confession they want. Even, the Peng Family doesn’t need a confession, as long as they can confirm through Fang Maofu that the Spiritual Cultivation Society definitely exists, they could stir up a huge commotion."

Dong Minzhu couldn’t help asking, "So how should we handle this matter? Do you have a way to suppress Peng Yuanxiong?"

Wu Hongqiu, calm and composed, detailed her plan, "Peng Yuanxiong and his daughter Peng Xuerong will surely cling to this matter and only make it bigger, none of us can suppress them."

Dong Minzhu asked, "What if I let Luo Keji take action?"

Wu Hongqiu shook her head and said, "If you were Luo Keji and you found out that Luo Tanzhi had been cuckold by your own subordinate, what would you do?"

Dong Minzhu’s mind tensed, and she sighed, "This matter concerns the dignity of the great noble Luo Family, it must be handled with utmost discretion."

Wu Hongqiu nodded and said, "I’ve already thought of a method, I’ll tell you about it, and you can help me consider it."

Dong Minzhu immediately sat up straight.

Wu Hongqiu slowly said, "The Peng Family wants to dig up scandals, but have they ever thought, doesn’t the Peng Family have any scandals of their own? I’ve already informed father to collect the Peng Family’s scandals. Your Dong Family can also lend a hand to find more dirt on the Peng Family. Afterward, we’ll give all the dirt to Feng Family to negotiate with Peng Family. If the negotiations go well, we can continue to live our good lives. If not, then it’s a fight to the death, with the combined forces of Wu Family, Dong Family, and Black Tiger Sect, even taking down the White Horse Manor wouldn’t be a problem."

Dong Minzhu thought for a moment and analyzed, "I’m worried that the Peng Family might directly reveal about the Spiritual Cultivation Society to the Prefectural Governor and Luo Tanzhi. Once the Prefectural Governor begins an investigation, with Luo Family’s extensive network of informants..."

Wu Hongqiu took a deep breath and pondered, "Hmm, we must guard against that and be fully prepared. My side can clean up the traces before night falls, and you also need to erase any traces on your end."

Dong Minzhu frowned and said, "You mean..."

Wu Hongqiu hinted, "Fang Maofu has been exposed, you need to make him disappear."

Dong Minzhu frowned and said, "If he vanishes as soon as he is exposed, doesn’t that give people more reason to suspect and validate their doubts that there’s something wrong with him?"

Wu Hongqiu laughed and said, "When I say ’disappear,’ I don’t mean quietly without a trace, but to make him disappear in a grand and official manner."

Dong Minzhu hesitated and said, "For example, have him run to another place on the pretext of doing business and hide far away?"

Wu Hongqiu laughed and said, "If the Prefectural Governor or Luo Tanzhi really dig deep, no matter where Fang Maofu hides, it won’t be useful. He must die!"

Dong Minzhu paused in breathing and sighed, "Fang Maofu is a reliable knife, very trustworthy in getting things done."

Wu Hongqiu said, "I will compensate you with two Limit-breaking Pills. It’s not hard to find talents like Fang Maofu if you want more."

Dong Minzhu showed a smile and said, "Then, how should he grandly disappear?"

Wu Hongqiu’s mouth twitched upwards as she said, "Do you remember the murder case of Shen Zhiyue? The murderer was someone who kept a Mutant Beast as a pet, and Fang Maofu fits this description perfectly."

Dong Minzhu staggered and said, "You want to use this to frame him? The Shen Family isn’t stupid. If Fang Maofu were really the murderer, wouldn’t they be able to find out?"

Wu Hongqiu said, "Don’t worry about that. I’ll personally request the Shen Family’s help. Even if Fang Maofu isn’t the real murderer, he now has to be."

Dong Minzhu nodded and said regretfully, "It’s a shame to lose such talent."

Wu Hongqiu clicked her tongue and laughed, "No, it’s a shame to lose a robust man, he is the darling of my Spiritual Cultivation Society."

Dong Minzhu’s eyes brightened and she smacked her lips, "Really? How impressive is he?"

Wu Hongqiu covered her mouth and laughed, unfolding the story in detail.

...

...

Evening arrived in a blink of an eye.

Fang Zhixing sat in the study, still harboring a sliver of hope.

Soon after, Hongye entered the study, holding an oil-paper package and said softly, "Master, someone suddenly sent this over; it was thrown right at the doorstep, and it has your name written on it."

Fang Zhixing opened the oil-paper package and found a handkerchief inside.

Upon seeing the handkerchief, Fang Zhixing couldn’t help but shudder in recognition.

Very familiar, extremely familiar!

He had definitely seen this handkerchief before.

He picked up the handkerchief, the texture silky smooth to the touch.

A familiar fragrance wafted from the handkerchief.

Fang Zhixing’s thoughts churned, and the image of the woman crying out in pain surfaced in his mind.

He spread out the handkerchief, and a slip of paper fell from inside.

"Escape quickly, you have been set up as the murderer of Shen Zhiyue, and you will be executed by the Shen Family tonight."

Fang Zhixing’s heart skipped a beat, and a bitter smile spread across his face as an immense sense of disappointment engulfed him.

Even though he had anticipated this outcome, it still left a sour taste in his heart.

He threw both the handkerchief and the paper into the brazier, burning them up.

Seeing this, Hongye expressed her concerns, "Master, could it be..."

Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "I’ve been abandoned by the eldest young master and the lady, I must escape immediately."

Hongye’s complexion changed dramatically, just about to speak.

The doorman rushed over and reported, "Master, there is a visitor outside requesting to see you."

Hongye turned and walked out.

After a while, she returned and whispered, "The visitor outside is sent by the lady."

Fang Zhixing paused, then nodded and said, "Let them in."

Sometime later, a middle-aged man in green robes stepped into the study with poise; at first glance, he gave off the impression of a refined and astute scholar.

"I am Deng Sanshou, greetings to Master Fang," the man in green robes gave a courteous bow.

Fang Zhixing got straight to the point, "What are the lady’s orders, please speak."

Deng Sanshou solemnly said, "Master Fang, the lady remembers your significant contributions and undeniable loyalty, and has specifically asked me to offer you help."

Fang Zhixing asked curiously, "How so?"

Deng Sanshou took out a porcelain bottle and placed it on the table, stating indifferently, "Inside this bottle is a pill that will allow you to pass away without any pain."

Upon hearing this, Hongye’s breath halted, and she froze in place.

Fang Zhixing said lightly, "What if I don’t take it?"

Deng Sanshou sighed, "Then you will be hunted by the Shen Family, and your death will be even more tragic, because you are the real murderer of Shen Zhiyue, whether you killed him or not, you are."

Fang Zhixing’s lips curled slightly as he said lightly, "Please convey my thanks for the lady’s kindness, but I’ve always been stubborn and want to try my luck."

Deng Sanshou displayed a mocking smile and shook his head in disbelief, "As you wish."

Fang Zhixing glanced at Hongye and asked, "Did the lady mention Hongye?"

Deng Sanshou hurriedly replied, "You can rest assured, Hongye will be summoned back to the lady’s side, and she will not be mistreated."

Fang Zhixing nodded, stood up, and said, "I have things to take care of, so I won’t see you out."

Deng Sanshou took a deep look at Fang Zhixing and smirked coldly, "Well, take care of yourself."

He turned and left.

"Master, how could this happen?" Hongye suddenly burst into tears, wailing.

Fang Zhixing pulled out a stack of gold tickets, stuffed them into her hand, said nothing more, and quickly turned to leave.

Xigou followed.

The man and the dog entered a secret tunnel and soon arrived at a civilian house across the street from Yixiang House.

There was a travel bag in the room.

Fang Zhixing performed the Bone Shrinking technique, drastically changing his physique and appearance, then quickly changed into a set of worn clothes.

Xigou sat in front of him.

Fang Zhixing looked at him and asked, "Are you ready?"

Xigou took a deep breath and said, "Ready, make it quick."

Fang Zhixing drew his sword from its sheath and slashed, cutting off one of Xigou’s ears.

Before Xigou could feel the pain, Fang Zhixing struck his head with his palm.

Boom~

Xigou’s body exploded into a mist of blood that was swept up into the sky by the wind and dispersed into every streak of the evening clouds.

Fang Zhixing opened the oiled paper, placed the dog’s ear inside, wrapped it up, and stuffed it into his chest.

He then shouldered his travel bag, weaved through the streets and alleys, blended into the crowd, and quietly left the city, disappearing into the distance.

The sky gradually darkened.

A group of white-robed figures rushed to Yixiang House, encircling the residence.

The leader was none other than Gu Jingzhang, the adopted son of Shen Yutang.

They kicked open the main gate without any hesitation and barged in.

Hongye and the Mandarinfish Assassins did not resist and were captured without a fight.
