Chapter 335

Fu Nian furrowed his brows and said.

One point he could be sure of, the name appeared on the list, perhaps he had already been completely solved by Zhang Han.

It must be said that Fu Nian's words reminded Zhang Liang.

Now going to the Northwest to find out the truth was indeed of no help.

"No, Senior Brother, if I can find out the truth, although it simply cannot save Wang Chongming's life."

"But that is no longer important."

"What we need to do is to protect your status by Fusu's side now."

"If this matter continues to ferment, it will definitely affect your status now."

Zhang Liang had already completely detached from the imperial court, so he saw deeper than Fu Nian.

This matter would more or less affect the Confucian School, and as the head of the Confucian School, Fu Nian bore the brunt.

"His Majesty, because of the previous matter, is already dissatisfied with the Confucian School."

"We must take out evidence to prove that this matter has nothing to do with the Confucian School."

"So this trip to the Northwest, I must go."

Zhang Liang made a decision.

"Since that is the case, then you set off for the Northwest early tomorrow morning."

"Your goal this time is only one, which is to probe the truth of the matter; do not interfere with other things."

Fu Nian was silent for a while, but finally opened his mouth.

It must be said that the Junior Brother was right.

If this matter continued to ferment, it would very likely affect his status in the imperial court.

It might even destroy their ten-year plan for the Confucian School.

Once Fusu became estranged from him because of this matter, I am afraid all his hard work would be in vain.

"Take care."

Fu Nian said.

Zhang Liang nodded, and subsequently left Fu Nian's room.

Zhang Liang, who returned to his room, immediately began to pack his things.

Looking at the Lingxu Sword that had been hanging in the room, Zhang Liang took the Lingxu Sword down directly.

Unsheathing the scabbard, a faint light flashed in the sword body.

Ever since he was poisoned, the Lingxu Sword had been hanging here, unsheathed for a long time.

This time it could finally be unsheathed.

After packing some personal belongings, the night slowly darkened.

………

In a secret courtyard.

"Leader, the matter has been solved, the news has spread in Xianyang City."

A subordinate said to Yuan Zuozong.

Yuan Zuozong nodded slightly.

"Confucian people, any unusual movements?"

Yuan Zuozong asked.

Since the Young Master left, he had to grasp the situation in the entire Xianyang City.

Then he absolutely could not hold the Young Master back.

"Fu Nian seems to have received the news."

"But Zhang Liang and Fu Nian still have no unusual movements."

The subordinate continued to say.

Yuan Zuozong, after listening to the report, had a flash of contemplation in his eyes.

Could these two people really be so calm?

"Continue to watch."

Yuan Zuozong ordered.

After solving the matter here, he immediately came to the dungeon.

The task left by the Young Master also had one matter, which was to inquire about the whereabouts of the Agricultural School.

In the dungeon.

It was dim here, and apart from the candlelight flickering on the wall, it was impossible to distinguish day from night.

Staying inside for a long time, I am afraid there was no perception of time.

Simply did not know whether it was day or night outside.

Su Liuer looked at the surrounding walls and was unwilling to give up, wanting to find a place to escape from them.

But after testing for a long time, he completely gave up; there was simply no weakness here.

Even if he wanted to break through the dungeon wall, there was no way. 【690-

The clatter of chains echoed through the corridor.

The sound was exceptionally clear, and in this quiet dungeon, it immediately drew the attention of countless gazes.

These gazes, some overt and some hidden, were concealed everywhere.

Yuan Zuozong ignored these gazes entirely and walked straight to the cell of the young man from the Farmhouse.

"Bring him out for me."

He spoke casually to his subordinate at his side, his cold gaze sweeping over the people in the other cells.

Xiaomeng was hidden in a corner, observing this man.

She recognized him; he was the one who had been by the Ghost's side, leading a powerful army to surround and block them.

His strength was also formidable, but he was no match for her.

It was the force in his hands that made Xiaomeng feel incredibly wary.

Su Liuer had not expected his turn to come so quickly.

Seeing the person beside him open the cell, he did not hesitate at all and obediently followed the man out.

In the many days he had been here,

he hadn't learned much else, but he had certainly learned a great deal about obedience.

After all, as long as one was a bit more compliant, one could avoid a lot of torture.

The only place in the entire dungeon that was somewhat bright was the hall ahead.

This was where the dungeon guards rested, and also where they carried out interrogations and torture.

Yuan Zuozong sat on a chair, his cold gaze fixed on the young man below.

He did not speak first, but his deep, intense gaze made Su Liuer feel immense pressure.

Silence spread throughout the quiet dungeon.

Su Liuer felt a heaviness in his heart, as if a great mountain were pressing down upon it.

"Young hero..."

"You called me out, what exactly do you want?"

After a long silence, Su Liuer finally could not bear the stillness any longer.

He spoke up to ask.

The young man's tone seemed to carry a hint of timidity.

"... ou are from the Farmhouse."

Yuan Zuozong spoke.

Su Liuer's eyes flickered, and in the end, he nodded.

"That's right."
