Chapter 93: Xie Changkong is not Xie Changkong, and Wei Wuxie is not Wei Wuxie
Duan Yuanming waited at the prison gate for a while, until the footsteps of the bailiffs were completely gone, and then he walked into the cell.
At this time, Xu Chong had already floated to the corner of the wall.
Although the cell was pitch black, he could clearly see the arrogance and indifference on Duan Yuanming's face, which was completely different from his usual approachable appearance.
However, this kind of arrogance and indifference suddenly turned into gloomy when Duan Yuanming walked up to Xie Changkong and found that Xie Changkong was actually sleeping.
"You can still sleep?"
Duan Yuanming said this in a calm and low voice.
Just with these light and subtle words, Xie Changkong shuddered all over and woke up instantly.
"Master, I..."
Xie Changkong subconsciously wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Duan Yuanming.
"Shut up."
Duan Yuanming scolded, "Let me ask you, is there anything unusual about that person coming here today?"
"Nothing unusual, you have predicted it right, young master."
Xie Changkong replied, "When he came in, he said directly, 'The Taoist Master is here to save you.' Then I followed the young master's instructions and acted very excited. Then he looked at me as if he was thinking for a while, and then left."
"Is that so..."
Duan Yuanming nodded, "That makes sense. Xie Changkong was killed by the water ghost himself. Once he got the file, he would immediately know that you are not Xie Changkong... I'm afraid he is also curious about when such a Taiping Dao master appeared in Zhanghua Mansion."
???
A question mark on Xu Chong’s forehead.
Water ghost?
Why do you associate yourself with a water ghost?
From the outside world's perspective, do I have any relationship with the water ghost?
Just when he was confused, Xie Changkong spoke.
"Master..."
Xie Changkong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did the young master really die? Is it possible..."
"impossible!"
Duan Yuanming rejected it without hesitation, with a hint of hatred in his tone: "If Wuxie is still alive, even if he doesn't contact his family, he will definitely contact me!"
Wuxie, the fragments of the cave...
Wei Wuxie is Duan Yuanming's son? !
How can this be?!
Xu Chong's pupils suddenly shrank to the extreme.
Although he didn't want to believe it, he had already accepted this possibility in his heart.
After all, both father and son are a bit dark...
It’s just that the age difference is a bit exaggerated. Duan Yuanming gave birth to Wei when he was thirteen or fourteen years old... Duan Wuxie?
"Originally, I just wanted to get some information out of Xu Chong, and I didn't suspect the water ghost. But he should never, ever, deliberately appear as Wuxie in order to divert my attention."
"Think about it, if a small-time character from a county town can master the Wind-Breaking Hand, wouldn't the streets be full of people with the Wind-Breaking Hand?"
Duan Yuanming raised his lips, "But this way, everything is explained... The water ghost took the Wuxiang Clothes and thought he was perfect. Not only did he not hide, he even took on someone else's identity in an attempt to truly enter the court."
"Then... since the young master can confirm the identity of the water ghost, why don't you just take action directly, but instead go through such a big detour?"
Xie Changkong asked in confusion, "Not to mention that you are not afraid of that Qianhu with your own strength, if you let your family take action, even if the entire Qianhu..."
"You don't need to know this."
Duan Yuanming's eyes turned cold. "You just need to do what I say. After the matter is accomplished, not only will you be safe, but I will also arrange for your son to be an official with real official status."
"Yes! I, your son, would like to thank you for your cultivation!"
Xie Changkong immediately put his doubts aside and became excited.
Xu Chong sneered in his heart.
It seems that Duan Yuanming has maintained his image quite well, at least he is very convincing in the Duan family.
This fake Xie Changkong lived to such an old age, but he didn't even realize that he was going to die.
hehe.
Why not use the power of your family?
Because just like Fu Yuanlong and Wei Wuxie, he wants to keep the remaining pieces for himself.
In this situation, no matter how things develop, Xie Changkong is doomed to die.
"Open your mouth."
Duan Yuanming stretched out his hand, and there was a pill on his fingertips. "Take this, and you won't feel any pain."
Duan Yuanming didn't hesitate at all and swallowed it directly.
"Remember, no matter what he does to you tomorrow, don't be afraid, don't panic, even if he makes you eat human flesh... your family will help you recover and make it up to you."
Duan Yuanming soothed her and said, "Don't miss a word that should be said, and don't say a single word that shouldn't be said. Do you understand?"
"I understand, old slave."
Xie Changkong responded solemnly.
Duan Yuanming nodded and walked out of the prison.
Xu Chong followed closely behind, thoughts colliding back and forth in his mind.
Do you want to take action?
He now has a thorough understanding of Duan Yuanming's entire plan.
Asking myself to interrogate this 'Xie Changkong' was a tactic to sow discord.
The things that were found out during the interrogation might be related to the deal between Ge Wanshan and Wei Wuxie... Anyway, Wei Wuxie is dead, so as long as he sticks to the identity of "Xie Changkong", anything can be said.
It may not even be just a transaction with Wei Wuxie, it may also include the speculation of 'letting the serious criminal escape secretly'.
It can be imagined that as long as these things were revealed by Xie Changkong and heard by himself, even without a written agreement, Duan Yuanming could use them to negotiate with Ge Wanshan and ask Ge Wanshan to hand him over.
Even if he confessed to Ge Wanshan first, it would be useless. Once he knew it, he knew it. If he didn't want to leak it, the safest thing to do was to keep his mouth shut forever.
They can all be considered open conspiracies.
If he didn't want to fall into the trap, he had to either not interrogate Xie Changkong or kill him directly during the interrogation.
However, no matter which one it is, it will make Duan Yuanming suspicious... and then he might have to face the entire Duan family.
Therefore, Xu Chong really wanted to take action now and kill Duan Yuanming directly.
But the problem is, Xie Changkong just said, "With your own strength, you are not afraid of that Qianhu"...
The meaning is obvious.
Duan Yuanming concealed his strength and was not afraid of Ge Wanshan. It is very likely that he is also at the tenth level of Tongmai.
In this case, only by using spiritual energy to lift the Zhefeng hand up and practice it into picking stars can one be absolutely sure.
Reaching for the stars...
Xu Chong recalled the scene where Dou Tianyuan used the Star Picking Technique. To be honest, he was very moved.
But after thinking about it, he finally gave up the plan.
Because he has another choice.
Xu Chong stopped quietly and watched Duan Yuanming walk away with squinted eyes.
Duan Yuanming's move can be said to be one wrong step after another.
From the moment he mistook himself for a water ghost, he was doomed to fail.
In this way, Xu Chong took advantage of the night and returned all the way back to Qianhu Suo.
After confirming that no one had entered his room, Xu Chong spent an hour recovering his strength and then jumped out of the window again.
The only difference was that this time he jumped up.
