Du Meng pretended to be surprised, "Is there such a thing? Someone from our Du Family went to Hualin Inn to assassinate someone from the Gu Family?"
"That's right. Furthermore, our men have already confirmed that the person who went to assassinate was Lin Fu from your Du Family. After our interrogation, Lin Fu also honestly confessed that it was your son, Du Haoran, who instructed him to assassinate Gu Ying. Of course, he went to assassinate someone else and accidentally stabbed Gu Ying." Elder Mo Han immediately said.
This Lin Fu actually confessed! Du Meng was shocked.
He immediately hardened his heart and said, "I'm afraid that person is lying. Our Du Family doesn't have a person like Lin Fu. He is framing us!"
After saying that, he immediately looked at the housekeeper and said, "Housekeeper, go and ask if there is a person called Lin Fu in our Du Family!"
After a while, the housekeeper came back and said, "Our Du Family does have a person called Lin Fu."
Before, when he heard these words, how could Mo Han not know what Du Meng was planning?
Of course, this was what Du Meng and the housekeeper had discussed before. Otherwise, the housekeeper wouldn't know how to answer.
"Oh, then what did he do in our Du Family before?" Du Meng frowned.
"He used to do odd jobs in the kitchen. A few days ago, because he committed a crime, he was kicked out of our Du Family." The housekeeper said.
"Elder Mo Han, you see, that man has already left our Du Family. I reckon that he was in a bad mood, so he decided to rob someone else. But who wouldn't rob? Why would he go and rob someone from the Gu Family? I can only say that he is blind. The most infuriating thing is that he actually framed our Du Family." Du Meng said angrily, as if he was the victim.
After a short pause, Du Meng continued, "But, no matter what, it has something to do with our Du Family. So, Elder Mo Han, please help us apologize to the Gu Family."
This Du Meng was really shameless. He actually shirked all responsibility. Mo Han slightly frowned.
"But, Du Family Head, I think we should ask your son Du Haoran." Mo Han said.
Since Lin Fu said that Du Haoran was the mastermind, he had to see Du Haoran.
"Since Elder Mo Han has ordered, I will naturally obey." Du Meng immediately said to the housekeeper, "Go and call Du Haoran."
Soon, Du Haoran was called over.
"Elder Mo Han, what business do you have with me?" Du Haoran pretended to be at a loss and asked.
"It's like this, someone tried to assassinate Gu Ying, but was caught, and now that person said that it was you who ordered him to do so, is there such a thing?" Mo Han looked at Du Haoran and asked.
"How could this be? How could there be such a thing? This is simply slander. I am the dignified young master of the Du Family. How could I do such a thing?" Du Haoran immediately shouted.
"That man is called Lin Fu, are you sure you didn't order him?" Mo Han frowned.
"I'm sure, 100% sure. After Lin Fu was driven away by our Du Family, I haven't seen him at all. How could I possibly order him around?" Du Haoran said angrily.
Seeing the reaction of the Du Clan, Mo Han didn't plan to ask any further. "Understood. Mo Han, I will take my leave first."
After saying that, Mo Han walked out, and Du Meng naturally followed behind him to send him out.
After Mo Han left, Du Meng finally felt relieved.
"That Lin Fu, he actually confessed, hateful ah!" Du Haoran cursed behind him.
"Shut your mouth!" Du Meng immediately scolded Mo Han when he heard this.
If it wasn't for you stirring up trouble, how could such a thing happen in the middle of the night?
Du Haoran didn't dare to say anything and just kept his mouth shut.
After Mo Han returned to the dungeon, Gu Ying hurriedly asked. "Elder Mo Han, how was it?"
"The Du Family's Patriarch said that this man was driven out of the Du Family a few days ago, so whatever he did has nothing to do with the Du Family." Mo Han said.
Hearing such words, Gu Ying couldn't help but frown. He didn't believe that Lin Fu would dare to assassinate him without the Du Family's backing.
"Then I will have to trouble Elder Mo Han to carefully interrogate Lin Fu." Gu Ying said.
He naturally wasn't willing to be fooled like this.
"Alright." Mo Han nodded and went back to the dungeon.
After entering the dungeon, he stared at Lin Fu and said. "Lin Fu, I went to the Du Family and asked them. The Du Family's Patriarch, Du Meng, said that you are not a member of the Du Family and that you were driven out a few days ago."
Hearing such words, Lin Fu's body obviously trembled.
"Since the Du Family didn't instruct you, then who did? Or is it your own personal behavior?" Mo Han raised his voice and shouted.
"It's really the Du Family's Young Master Du Haoran who instructed me!" Lin Fu gritted his teeth and said.
Right now, he naturally hated the Du Family to the bone.
"Then, do you have any evidence?" Mo Han said coldly.
Evidence? Hearing such words, Lin Fu's face turned ugly. How could he have any evidence?
"No." Mo Han said helplessly.
"In that case, it's your own behavior. From today onwards, you will stay in the dungeon." After saying such words, Mo Han left the dungeon.
Lin Fu's face naturally became even uglier.
If I leave the Du Family one day, I, Lin Fu, will definitely find trouble with you! Lin Fu angrily said in his heart.
Although he knew that it was impossible to leave the dungeon, it was better to be safe than sorry.
After Mo Han went out, he said to Gu Ying, "Lin Fu has no evidence, so he can't testify against Lin Haoran. So, this matter can only be like this."
Hearing such words, Gu Ying frowned. He knew that Mo Han had tried his best, so he didn't want to make things difficult for Mo Han.
He immediately said, "This night, I have troubled Elder Mo Han."
"Brother Gu, don't say that." Mo Han couldn't help but laugh.
"Elder Mo Han, another day, I will treat you to a meal at the Drunken Phoenix Inn. I will properly thank you." Saying this, Gu Ying walked out of the dungeon.
This matter must be related to the Du Family. I must inform the Patriarch of this matter and let him be wary of the Du Family. On the way back, Gu Ying's heart flashed with such a thought.
Once he returned to the inn, he found someone to bring this news to the Gu Family.
Back at the inn, Gu Ying, who hadn't slept the whole night, wanted to go back to sleep, but he found that Lin Long had woken up early in the morning.
He immediately greeted Lin Long, "Brother Lin, where are you going so early in the morning?"
"Today, Elder Xie Zhe is accepting disciples. I am going to try my luck and see if I can be accepted as a disciple." Lin Long said with a smile.
"You learned how to use runes?" Hearing Lin Long's words, Gu Ying was a little surprised.
"Yes, I just learned a simple rune." Lin Long said.
"That's not bad." Gu Ying praised.
From his point of view, those who could learn runes were geniuses, so he naturally admired Lin Long.
With such praise, he felt that it was not bad to make friends with Lin Long.
"Brother Gu, what happened last night? Did that person confess?" Lin Long asked.
He was naturally curious about the outcome of last night.
"That person did confess. He said that it was the Du Family in Mo Shi City who ordered him to do it, but the Du Family insisted that he was lying. In the end, that person was locked in the dungeon." Gu Ying said.
"Then, Brother Gu, what do you think?" Lin Long asked again.
"I think that this matter has something to do with the Du Family. Since that person has no evidence, and the Du Family is acting shamelessly, this can only be the outcome." Gu Ying sighed.
"Is that so." Lin Long nodded, then asked, "Is the Du Family very powerful in Mo Shi City?"
"It's just so-so, just a small force." Gu Ying said.
After a few more words, Lin Long left Hualin Inn and headed for Xie Zhe's courtyard.
Not long after, he arrived in front of Xie Zhe's courtyard. At this moment, there were two other people standing at the door.
Seeing Lin Long, the two people asked, "Who are you? What's the matter?"
"I am Lin Li. I am here for the assessment today." Lin Long answered.
"Lin Li?" After mumbling, one of the two people picked up a piece of paper in his hand. After confirming that Lin Li really existed, he let Lin Long in.
Entering the courtyard, Lin Long found that there were already more than 20 people inside. However, it was not the end. After a while, another 20 people came.
When there were more than 50 people, the number of people who came in decreased.
Du Haoran was almost the last person to come in. He had a pair of panda eyes, and it seemed that he did not sleep well last night.
When he came in and saw that Lin Long was also there, he naturally glared at Lin Long.
If glares could kill, Lin Long would probably have fallen for it.
After a while, one of the two people that Lin Long saw yesterday stood in the courtyard and said, "Everyone, please line up in two rows in front of me. Teacher is ready for the assessment."
Hearing his words, everyone stood in front of him.
After a while, an old man with white hair and beard walked out. When he came in front of everyone, he sat in the armchair that had been prepared beforehand.
After sitting down, the old man said in a low voice, "I am Elder Xie Zhe of the Mo Family."
"Greetings, Teacher," everyone hurriedly said.
Xie Zhe waved his hand. "Although you are here, you may not be able to become my disciple. So, don't say that first."
After a short pause, he said, "Alright, now, the first person on the left, please take a few steps forward."
The first person on the left hurriedly took a few steps forward.
"Alright, now start activating the rune curse that you have mastered," Xie Zhe said immediately.
That person immediately got into a horse stance and formed a hand seal with both hands. After a soft shout, he pushed both hands forward. At the same time, a rune that seemed to be formed by his hand seal disappeared in front of him.
"Not bad." Xie Zhe nodded. With his experience, he did not need to ask to know what rune curse the other person used.
"Then, Teacher, did I pass?" that person said happily.
"Yes, that's good." Xie Zhe nodded and said, "Next."
Very quickly, the next person walked to the previous position.
Then, he also took a horse stance and formed a hand seal with both hands. Then, he pushed both hands forward again.
However, this time, there was clearly no rune to form a seal.
This situation caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
"Teacher, can you let me try again?" He hurriedly asked.
