Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

It has to be said that Gong Shangjiao is very efficient. In just one night, he not only calculated the cost of rebuilding the Zhiren Hall, but also made arrangements for the craftsmen who would come to rebuild the Zhiren Hall early the next morning.

The family background of Manager Jia, why he falsely accused the Palace Master of Zheng Palace of stealing Baicaocui, who he is, and how he was inserted into Zheng Palace have all been thoroughly investigated.

Since the Blade Hall is still under reconstruction, all these are reported to the Council of Elders.

"When did Wufeng have such an old assassin?" Gong Zishang muttered in a low voice in the Elders' Council.

"I don't know if there is one that old, but what I can be sure of is that there is more than one Wufeng assassin in the palace gate. There are more who are hiding." When Gong Shangjiao talked about Wufeng, the bloodthirsty expression on his face was imprinted in Gong Ziyu's eyes, which made Gong Ziyu's heart tremble.

"Elders, now it is clear. Manager Jia was sent in by Wufeng as a chess piece to split the palace. So brother Yuanzheng is definitely not the one who murdered Qian Zhiren and the young master." Gong Shangjiao immediately clarified to the three elders that Gong Yuanzheng was definitely not the murderer.

"If you say it's not him, then it's not him! Even if it wasn't him, it was because of his negligence that the assassin Wufeng ran into the clinic and took the position of manager. This gave the assassin Wufeng the opportunity to replace Baicaocui and harm my father!" Gong Ziyu was not convinced. Gong Ziyu stiffened his neck and still wanted to blame Gong Yuanzheng.

"Gong Ziyu, although the Herb Extract was made by Brother Yuanzheng himself, I don't know how many people had to go through it before it was delivered to the various palaces." Gong Shangjiao sneered at Gong Ziyu, "Each Herb Extract made by Brother Yuanzheng is wrapped in special medicine paper. Why is it that there is no problem with the ones made by the other three palaces and the Council of Elders, but only your Yu Palace has a problem?"

Gong Shangjiao's eyes, which looked like he was looking at trash, irritated Gong Ziyu's fragile heart. He wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Jin Fan behind him, "Hold the blade! Don't be impulsive!"

"You used to be the Palace Master of Yu Palace. Firstly, you failed to shoulder the responsibilities of the Palace Master. Second, you failed to properly arrange the protection of the palace gates. Third, you failed to be friendly to the blood relatives of the palace gates!" Gong Shangjiao pointed out one by one the mistakes made by Gong Ziyuwei and the Palace Master.

Gong Shangjiao thought about what Yuan Zheng had said to him when he came back a few days ago. "You even exposed the secret passage of the palace gate to the bride who hid the assassin because of a momentary woman's kindness! Are you afraid that it would be too dangerous for the assassin to come in, so you provided a safe and unobstructed path so that the tragedy of ten years ago could happen again?"

Gong Ziyu was pushed step by step by Gong Shangjiao's questioning. His lips moved a few times, but he couldn't say a word, because he had not done anything Gong Shangjiao said. After he succeeded as the Palace Master of Yugong, all affairs were managed by his eldest brother.

That secret passage was also the only way for him to sneak out of the palace, but it was already abandoned! Besides, hadn't he already found the assassin hiding in it?

"Gong Shangjiao! I admit that I am not as good as you, but the bladeless assassin hiding in the bride has been found out. How come there are so many assassins who know that secret passage?" Gong Ziyu refuted Gong Shangjiao as if he had found an excuse.

Elder Xue looked at the child whom she had always loved being pressed step by step by Gong Shangjiao, "Shangjiao! Ziyu is also thinking about the palace gate, but he just couldn't think of a good solution at the moment. If I discipline him well in the future, he won't make such a mistake again."

Gong Zishang acted as if he had heard a huge joke. He rolled his eyes quietly when no one was paying attention and muttered silently: Only Gong Ziyu is a human being, and we are not human. He is the only one who is kind-hearted, and he stepped on the blood and bones of all of us to get to the top!

Gong Shangjiao's pupils dilated as he glanced at the elders who were supposed to be fair, "Since the elders have said so, then Shangjiao has nothing to say! I heard last night that brother Yuanzheng was unwell, so I went to visit brother Yuanzheng first." After saying that, he left without giving the people in the Council of Elders time to react.

"Elder Xue, Elder Yue, Elder Hua, if there is nothing else, then Zi Shang will take his leave first. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in the Shang Palace." Gong Zi Shang also took the opportunity to leave.

Seeing this, Elder Hua did not ask anyone to stay and waved his hand to let Gong Zishang leave.

Jin Fan looked at Gong Zishang who no longer followed him, and couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness in his heart. Perhaps it was because he was used to having such a person following him every day, so it was a little difficult to bear for a while!

Jin Fan thought about it and it made sense. He was just a guard, and she was the eldest lady of the palace and the master of a palace. She had only chased after him, a guard, on a whim before. Now that she didn't want to chase him anymore, there was nothing she could do.

Elder Xue and Elder Yue were still comforting Gong Ziyu's young heart.

Gong Zishang jogged all the way and finally caught up with Gong Shangjiao. Gong Zishang and Gong Shangjiao arrived at the gate of Zheng Palace together.

Without waiting for them to speak, the guards of Zheng Palace opened the door and let them in. However, Jin Fu, the guard of Gong Shangjiao, was not so lucky and could only stay and wait at the door.

"Brother Yuanzheng~" Gong Zishang held up the hem of her skirt and ran into Zhenggong's reception room mischievously. "Hey~ so many people!" As a result, as soon as she entered the room, not only Gong Yuanzheng and his cousin Zhuo Yichen's demon hunting team, but also the group of doctors in the clinic were there.

Gong Zishang just felt that she could cover it with two more layers of soil, this world was so gloomy!

"Why doesn't the young lady go in?" Gong Shangjiao looked at Gong Zishang who was blocking the door.

"Mr. Horn!"

Gong Shangjiao walked around the petrified Gong Zishang and looked over, only to see that in the reception room of Zheng Palace there were not only Gong Yuanzheng and his cousin Zhuo Yichen, but also a group of old doctors from the clinic and all the people from the Monster Collection Bureau.

"Mr. Wang!" Gong Shangjiao looked at the old doctor with white hair and a youthful face who was leading the group.

"I am an old man who has already gone into the coffin and I am not worthy of Master Jiao's gift!" Old Wang looked at Gong Shangjiao who was saluting him in a salute with a weird look.

Just as Gong Yuanzheng was about to open his mouth to defend his brother, he was pulled back by his second brother. His second brother just shook his head slightly at him. Gong Yuanzheng could only look at his brother in frustration and helplessness.

Gong Zishang had already sneaked up to Wen Xiao when no one was paying attention. When he turned around and saw Gong Shangjiao being embarrassed, he couldn't help but find it funny that Mr. Gong Er, a famous man in the martial arts world, was being scolded.

"Mr. Wang, you're joking. If it weren't for your help, Shangjiao might not be able to stand here and talk to you." Gong Shangjiao naturally understood why Mr. Wang had this attitude towards him.

"Mr. Jiao, we old guys are old, not dead!" Old Wang slammed the table and roared with full energy.

"Do you really think that there is no one in our Zheng Palace? Ah! How can you bully an underage child so blatantly!" Another old doctor who looked younger than Mr. Wang stood up suddenly, rushed to the door and cursed at the Elders' Council.

"Mr. Liu, you should take care of your health!" The servants in Zheng Palace looked at Mr. Liu, a doctor who was eager to rush to the Elders' Council.

"I'm not as old as those bastards who need to be served by others! Even if I really reach that point, I will make my own poison and put an end to it all!"

It can be seen that Dr. Liu is also a person with a bad temper.

"Shang Jiao, come and sit down!" An old doctor who always had a calm expression next to Mr. Wang spoke up and asked him to sit opposite him.

"Mr. Chen!" Gong Shangjiao bowed respectfully, then knelt down and poured a refill of tea for the person opposite him.

"Shang Jiao, even though what they said was not very nice, it was for Yuan Zheng's own good after all. You raised Yuan Zheng single-handedly, so you should be able to understand this feeling." Old Chen did not curse directly like Old Wang and Old Doctor Liu did, but instead appealed to their emotions and explained the situation to them with reason.

"Shangjiao understands!" Gong Shangjiao could not treat this old doctor with the same attitude as he treated the Council of Elders.

People in the Council of Elders might be afraid of him because of his reputation outside and the fact that he is in charge of the financial power of the palace, but these old doctors are not afraid of those things at all. Every one of them who leaves the palace is a well-known miracle doctor. As long as they are willing, many people will come to them with those rare treasures.

"Since you have something to discuss, we'll take our leave first!" Zhuo Yichen looked at Gong Shangjiao and several doctors and took the lead in suggesting leaving.

"Second brother!" Gong Yuanzheng wanted to stay with his second brother for a while longer.

"We have important matters to attend to, so we can't stay any longer. We originally planned to leave today, but because of what happened last night, so..." Zhuo Yichen patted Gong Yuanzheng and explained.

"Yuanzheng, please send your second brother and the others off on behalf of us old guys!" Old Chen knew what the next topic would be, and it was not convenient for Gong Yuanzheng to know. As his second brother just happened to ask to leave, he took the opportunity to send him away.

Gong Yuanzheng reluctantly followed Zhuo Yichen and the others and left. Gong Zishang looked at Gong Shangjiao where the atmosphere was quite solemn and followed them to leave.

Standing at the palace gate, Gong Yuanzheng was seeing Zhuo Yichen and the others off. Gong Ziyu appeared from somewhere and immediately saw Wen Xiao, who had opened the curtain and was looking at Zhuo Yichen, Gong Yuanzheng and the others.

"mother!"

The roar of the cow startled everyone. They turned around and saw Gong Ziyu standing behind them. His eyes were fixed on Wen Xiao in the carriage.

Seeing this, Gong Zishang quickly stepped forward and patted Gong Ziyu on the shoulder. "What nonsense are you talking about? That is the collection officer of the Monster Collection Bureau, Master Wen Xiaowen, who is also the current White Ze Goddess."

Gong Ziyu grabbed Gong Zishang's clothes and stammered, "She is my mother! Her face is the same as my mother's!"

Gong Zishang's eyes almost rolled up to the sky, "What do you mean your mother? Madam Lan died a long time ago. How could a girl like her give birth to a son as old as you? Are you crazy?"

Gong Zishang looked at Zhuo Yichen and the others with a smile, "We Zhiren have had face blindness since childhood, and we love to call pretty girls our mothers! Please forgive us!" Gong Zishang covered Gong Ziyu's mouth with his hand to stop him from speaking, and signaled Jin Fan behind him to come over and take the man away.
