Feng Gui immediately packed his things and led his men to the frontlines.
Xiangyang District wasn't very far from the frontline. It would only take three to five days to travel at top speed. Feng Gui arrived in no time.
When Qiguan Rang heard of Feng Gui's visit, he couldn't help but curl his lips. It looked like his judgment was correct. The Feng family had not betrayed them.
After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Feng Gui got straight to the point and explained his purpose for coming. Qiguan Rang took out the letter and handed it to him.
Qiguan Rang said, "This letter was found on the spy's body."
Feng Gui carefully took it and glanced at it. His eyes widened in shock.
"How could this handwriting —"
The handwriting on the paper was clearly his, and some of the words were written in the same way. Those who were familiar with him would not mistake it.
Feng Gui put down the letter and said honestly, "To tell you the truth, this letter was definitely not written by me. However, the person who wrote it was very skilled. Even I was fooled. If it wasn't for the fact that the content of the letter was so horrifying, I would have suspected when I had written such a letter. "
Since even Feng Gui himself had said so, it was clear to see how well the forgery of this letter was done.
It was enough to pass off as genuine!
Qiguan Rang said, "When I first read the letter, I was shocked. After thinking about it carefully, I felt that something was wrong. There must be a villain behind this. Clan Leader Feng, why don't you go back and check the people around you? I don't think there are many people who are familiar with Clan Leader's writing habits. "
Feng Gui thanked Qiguan Rang sincerely. His trust had saved the Feng family from an undeserved calamity.
If this matter reached Jiang Pengji's ears, she did not know what kind of disaster it would cause.
The Feng family had been keeping a low profile all these years, but that didn't mean they didn't fight.
There were too many changes in power in this chaotic world. Who could guarantee that a person who was in the limelight today would not be beheaded tomorrow?
The Feng family was cautious in doing things. Even the sides they stood on were ambiguous. How could they openly communicate with Feng Jue to decide their stand?
At present, the Feng family thought more highly of Jiang Pengji and had high hopes for Feng Jin.
As long as Feng Jin had a firm foothold with Jiang Pengji and didn't lose her trust, would the Feng family have to worry about not having opportunities to develop in the future?
How could the Feng family give up their principles and change their stance to Huang Song just because of Feng Jue?
Just by thinking about it, one could tell that it was fake. It was just a setup by someone with ulterior motives.
Feng Gui nodded his head solemnly in agreement.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he didn't even dare to ask about his third brother, Feng Jue.
Qiguan Rang tried to sound them out again without batting an eyelid. He was only relieved when he confirmed that the Feng family was not a suspect.
After Feng Gui left, Qiguan Rang called a few more people over and asked, "Is there anything strange about that woman?"
Taxue was under strict supervision, but this woman's eyes were evil. Her pair of charming eyes could make ordinary people forget themselves. Those who were not strong-willed could easily be instigated by her. In order to prevent Taxue from escaping, Qiguan Rang ordered his men to build a small black house with green bricks.
After they threw Taxue in, they sealed the exit, leaving only a small ventilation hole and a small door for food delivery.
Even so, Qiguan Rang was still worried. He sent people to monitor Taxue in three shifts a day.
The soldier reported, "There's nothing unusual."
Qiguan Rang asked, "Nothing unusual?"
He personally went over to interrogate her, but Taxue's reaction was cold. She had a cold and uncooperative attitude.
"Lady Taxue, you have a master-servant relationship with our lord. If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell us. Won't our lord uphold justice for you?" Qiguan Rang tried to persuade Taxue. "This place is very safe. No one can threaten you. You can …"
Taxue was not sure what he said. She snickered and said, "What master-servant relationship? That's a demon. "
Qiguan Rang was stunned. His expression darkened.
He had given her face, but she did not take it. She had slandered his lord in front of him. Who gave her the courage?
Taxue's voice suddenly rose. "The real Liu Xi has been possessed long ago. Now, this is just a demon who has thrown the world into chaos!"
Qiguan Rang's eyes darkened. He raised his right hand and waved his feather fan, indicating for the soldiers beside him to retreat.
If they knew too much, they would die too quickly.
Qiguan Rang said in a low voice, "A man does not speak of strange powers and gods. What possessed demon? Lady Taxue's betrayal of her former lord is already a crime worthy of death. Now, you are splashing dirty water on your former lord. This cannot wash away your sins. If you still want to live, you'd better confess obediently. Don't play any tricks. "
Taxue shrieked, "The real Liu Xi has died long ago. Now, this is a demon who has thrown the world into chaos. Ever since she's possessed, she has brought war wherever she goes. The earthquake in Shangjing was also caused by her theft of the nation's destiny. You're helping the evildoer — you'll die a horrible death! "
Qiguan Rang clenched his fists. The handle of the feather fan in his hand was almost broken.
Taxue seemed to have regained her rationality. She snickered and said, "How much do you know about Liu Xi? I'm her personal servant. I know everything about her since she was young. Liu Xi is introverted and docile. She doesn't even dare to kill a mosquito, let alone kill a person … The real Liu Xi has been mistakenly killed by bandits a long time ago. Now, this demon is merely a dove occupying a magpie's nest and causing wars and massacres! "
Qiguan Rang did not speak. Taxue continued, "That demon is extremely terrifying. She possessed someone else's body, stole someone else's family, and used Liu Xi's identity to do whatever she wants. I hate it. I hate it so much that I can't expose this demon. She even dared to plot for the destiny of the world … Those who are not of the same race are bound to have different intentions. You guys should be careful. Who knows, one day, she might not be able to hold back and show her fangs and kill all of you!"
Qiguan Rang said, "There's no evidence."
Taxue smiled coquettishly and said casually, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Qiguan Rang is the son-in-law of Teacher Wei Yuan. Haven't you heard him talk about what kind of person Liu Xi used to be? Wei Yuan was Liu Xi's teacher. What I said could be false? Could your father-in-law's words be fake? You've all been deceived by her. She's the demon who incited chaos in the world … "
Even though the saints did not speak of strange powers and gods, the ancients were still very superstitious. Otherwise, the emperor would not have used "divine authority" to fool the people.
The five countries in the world had collapsed one after another, and there were endless wars. If ordinary people heard Taxue's words, they might not believe it.
Who was Qiguan Rang?
He was a man that the audience called "Big Boss". How could he be brainwashed?
It was ridiculous to blame the war and chaos on a "demon."
So what if Liu Xi was not the current lord?
From the beginning to the end, the only person he regarded as a close friend was the current lord.
"You're more like a demon, aren't you?" Qiguan Rang said in a low voice, "It's a pity that your ability to bewitch people's hearts is not good enough. Since you blamed the war and chaos on one person, that's the biggest flaw. If you have the time, learn well. Don't come out and show off your half-baked skills. "
Taxue was extremely embarrassed by Qiguan Rang's mockery.
"She's really a demon who possessed someone else's body!" Taxue said, "Old Master knows that too. That's why he's been so distant from her all these years!"
