Chapter 1013

Not long after zu'an came out of the room, a figure standing in the distance turned and came to him: "I've seen Lord Zu. I'm gong pan. Madam said you wanted to ask me something."

"Lord Gong is serious. He just wants to consult about some problems." Zu'an looked carefully at the middle-aged man in front of him. He was vigorous and had sharp eyes. His accomplishments were not low at a glance. And he has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looks like a mature and prudent man. There was a dragon like scar from chin to neck, which added a bit of toughness to the whole person.

Because he looked more, Gong pan subconsciously touched the scar: "this was stabbed by the demon family master in those years. If it was more than half an inch, I'm afraid my bones would have been cold."

"Sorry." Zu'an apologized. After all, his eyes were really impolite.

"It's all right," Gong pan smiled. "Everyone who sees me for the first time will look here. This is not a shame for me, but a glorious mark, which proves that I was in a bloody battle with the demon family, and I left such an injury."

"General Gong can save his life under such an injury. If he doesn't die, he will be blessed." Zuan also lamented that the sword was too dangerous.

"I don't care whether I'm lucky or not. I just want the Duke of county to have no accident," Gong Pan said in a low tone. "At that time, thanks to the Duke of county pulling me aside, I just avoided this fatal blow. Unfortunately, although I'm still alive, the Duke of county doesn't know whether I'm alive or dead."

Zuan's heart moved and took the opportunity to ask, "what happened to your county Lord?"

Before investigating the relevant official cases, the court also submitted a report to the court. Unfortunately, many details are not clear, and there are contradictions between the logic before and after. It is obviously not so useful to ask those people who have experienced it personally.

Gong pan hesitated and said after a while, "since madam asked me to prove that Lord Zu is a trustworthy person, please follow me."

Then he led zu'an to an open yard. It was obvious to the naked eye that no one else was eavesdropping around. He just said, "the whole thing about the disappearance of the Duke of the county was very strange. At that time, the Duke of the county has been closed, but he hasn't been moving on the day of customs clearance. At first, everyone didn't take it seriously. After all, the practitioners may not be so punctual to leave the customs."

"But after ten days, there was still no movement in the closed place. Everyone tried to ask when the county Lord would come out. Who knows, there was no response."

"Everyone found that the door was not locked, and the building was empty."

"At first, people thought that the county Lord had left the customs in advance and went to other places. Such a thing hadn't happened before. Who knows, the county Lord didn't come back after a few months. The people of the family realized that something might have happened."

"We sent a lot of people to look for places where the Duke might go, but we never found them. Although some people in Yunzhong county and even the surrounding counties occasionally claim to have seen the Duke appear, after our investigation, they all talk nonsense in order to defraud the reward."

"In this way, after another half a year, the county Lord still didn't appear. Everyone realized that something might have happened to him."

At this point, he pinched the bone knot of his fingers and was obviously very excited.

Zu'an asked in a deep voice, "who was the last to see the Duke of the county and when?"

Gong pan thought for a moment and replied, "at last, there were many people who saw the Duke of county. At that time, the Duke of county invited the second master to drink. At that time, many servant girls and servants served. I was also present and saw it."

"You've been there all the time? And then you saw him shut up after drinking?" Zuan feels a little strange. He doesn't shut up after drinking.

"That's not true," replied Gong pan. "At first we were all nearby, but later the county Lord asked us to talk to the second master about some confidential things, so he asked us to step back outside. Although we didn't see it with our own eyes, we could see the two people drinking and laughing through the shadow of the window, and there were voices of conversation and laughter from time to time."

Zuan frowned. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, there would be a lot of room for operation.

So many detective stories in previous lives often have similar murders.

"Is it possible that the magistrate had an accident at that time, and the voice you saw and heard was actually imitated by others?" Asked Zuan.

"It's impossible!" Gong pan directly denied, "we are all the most trusted people of the magistrate. No one knows his body shape and voice better than us. If someone pretends, we can certainly distinguish it."

Zuan frowned and always felt that the other party's judgment was too arbitrary.

People's body shape may be distorted through the window, and there are so many strange people in the world. It's hard to guarantee that no one is good at oral skills.

The book "one thousand people", which he obtained before, tells how to perfectly imitate the voice of the target.

However, he thought again that such a secret script should be rare in the world. After all, he used to be an embroidered clothes messenger. I have never heard of anyone who can do it.

At this time, Gong pan continued: "back ten thousand steps, even if the man is a fake, how can he do it? You know, the cultivation of the county Lord is the peak of the master and the top expert in the world. Who can subdue and impersonate him in such a short time without being found by us outside?"

"What if second master Jane is there to help?" Zuan stared straight into each other's eyes.

Gong Pan's face changed, but he still replied, "it's impossible. Although second master Jian's cultivation is high, he's much worse than the Duke of county. The Duke of county let him have no problem with one hand, not to mention we're outside."

Zuanton fell into silence. He could doubt that someone could pretend to be a liar, but Xiuwei was real.

If Jian Yanyou was completely unprepared for his brother's sneak attack, it was also possible to be secretly plotted, but with his cultivation, he could not be subdued silently. As soon as he opened his mouth, the bodyguard outside went in.

Did you guess wrong from the beginning?

Zuan fell into silence and suddenly said, "what's the relationship between your wife and the Duke?"

"Madam?" Gong pan suddenly changed his face, "won't you doubt madam?"

Zuan waved: "I'm your wife's friend, how can I doubt her? Just curious, because I heard her mention before that I didn't live with the Duke of the county?"

Gong pan hesitated for a moment and replied, "yes, madam and Jun Gong do live separately, but that's because madam has to deal with all kinds of things in the jade family, and the Jun Gong has to be responsible for the safety of Yunzhong county and resist the invasion of the demon family. The two sides get together less and leave more, which makes them separate."

"But their feelings are very good. They have always respected each other like guests."

"Respect each other like guests." Zu'an raised his eyebrows. This word is understood from two angles. One is that the relationship between husband and wife is really harmonious. The second is that there is no real love, but they perform their duties, neither salty nor light

"There's a presumptuous question," zu'an looked at him curiously. "Then why did you come to the Jade House? You should be from the Duke's house."

Gong pan looked a little depressed: "after the county Lord disappeared, we were still very united at the beginning, but as we couldn't find his whereabouts, many things began to change."

"But this is also normal. Many people have to support their families. Some people still want to have a future. Naturally, they will look for new backers."

Zu'an said tentatively, "you mean second master Jane?"

Gong pan nodded: "yes, he is the younger brother of the Duke of the county. He was also the second in command of the governor's office. There are also a group of confidants under his hand. After the Duke of the county had an accident, it is justifiable for him to act as his agent. Many people may not want to take refuge in him at the beginning, but when they work with him, they will become his people unconsciously."

"But I didn't pursue so much. I've been waiting for the Duke to come back. Now it's a little inconvenient to stay there, so I came to the lady. After all, she is the Duke's wife. Some people who think the same as me came to the lady together."

Zu'an nodded secretly, which can also be understood. Others can take refuge in Jian TAIDING, but Gong pan, the bodyguard of the former Duke, his confidant, and taking refuge in the other side are doomed not to be reused. It is wise for him to choose yuyanluo, and at least he can win a reputation of loyalty.

"I can't seem to feel your hatred for second master Jane from your tone?" Zuan asked curiously.

Gong pan looked to the north and said calmly, "unless the disappearance of the county Lord is related to the second Lord, why should I hate him? It's human nature for him to win over the old Department of the county Lord. Even if I was in his position, I probably did the same."

"What's more, the governor's office is related to the safety of Yunzhong county and has to resist the demons who have repeatedly violated the border. After the county Duke disappeared, he needs a strong leader to stabilize the situation. A person with ability and ambition is much better than a mediocre."

"General Gong is really righteous. His bearing is beyond people's reach." Zu Ansheng admired him, and then asked him some things about the Duke's house, and the other party answered them one by one.

Finally, when he left, zu'an suddenly turned around and seemed to think of something: "by the way, can you give me a list of the sheriff's personal guard class?"
