Chapter 57: A Gentleman's Lie

Jia Fu was confused.

He has now ruled out Fang Yuan's suspicion, and is almost certain that Jia Gui is the mastermind behind the scenes.

"But even if I know the truth, what can I do?" Jia Fu's heart surged with grief and anger, "I don't have any evidence in my hands, if I come to my father to testify against Jia Gui without any evidence, I'm afraid my father still thinks I To frame him!"

Jia Fu is very shrewd. He looked at Fang Yuan, and his eyes flashed brightly.

Jia Jinsheng followed him along the way. Now that Jia Jinsheng is missing, he, Jia Fu, naturally has the responsibility of not taking good care of him! Since he can't testify against Jia Gui, he must give his father an explanation.

And this explanation is right in front of you!

"Yes, if this Fang Yuan is used as a scapegoat, it can be considered a reluctance to explain the past. As long as this hurdle is passed, I may be able to get it back twice as much." Jia Fu's heart was filled with evil thoughts.

He raised his voice abruptly, and then asked Fang Yuan sternly, "Fang Yuan, how do you prove that you didn't murder Jia Jinsheng?"

The elders of the family couldn't help but be stunned, this matter is obviously your Jia family fighting, why are you still holding on to my clan?

Only Patriarch Gu Yue's expression sank, his eyes turned sharp, and he stared at Jia Fu tightly.

"Fang Yuan, what witnesses do you have to prove that you were not present and didn't have time to murder Jia Jinsheng? If not, you are the murderer!" Jia Fu pointed at Fang Yuan, glaring angrily, his aura was pressing.

"He, Jia Fu, is trying to push Fang Yuan out of our clan and use it as a scapegoat. It's really outrageous!" At this moment, the elders of the clan also reacted, and their expressions became unpleasant.

They had been intriguing for a long time, and after a little thought, they understood Jia Fu's position and plan.

"Witness? Of course there is! I have already arranged it." Fang Yuan secretly sneered, but on the surface he gave a lifelike expression that he was speechless, but was speechless.

"Don't say anything else, just tell me if you have it!" Jia Fu raised his voice again, pressing Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan looked indignant, and in the end he seemed helpless to squeeze two words out of his teeth: "No."

"Haha. Then you are—" Just as Jia Fu was about to pronounce the sentence loudly, it was at this moment.

"Slow!" Xuetang's elder stepped forward and stood in front of Fang Yuan with a solemn expression, "Of course he has a witness, and I am his witness!"

"You?" Jia Fu was surprised.

"That's right, it's this old man." Facing Jia Fu, the senior of the school, his tone was a little empty. But seeing the encouraging gaze from the patriarch Gu Yuebo, he sighed and raised his head, "These days, Fang Yuan unexpectedly took the lead in being promoted to the middle rank, so I sent people to investigate secretly. His every day's whereabouts are recorded on the record. , there is no time to assassinate Jia Jinsheng at all."

"Yes, that's it..." Fang Yuan hid behind the elders of the school, and no one saw the slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Jia Fu's face was ashen. He didn't expect that the elders of the school would suddenly stand up and vouch for Fang Yuan.

More importantly, Patriarch Gu Yue did not object. This is of great significance, it means that the Gu Yue clan must protect this Fang Yuan.

"I see! I wanted to make Fang Yuan a scapegoat, but I just started from myself, but didn't take their feelings into account. Yes, once Fang Yuan was blamed, the Gu Yue family would have to bear the notoriety of murdering the Jia family. We will face retaliation from the Jia family, our reputation will also be damaged, and the caravan will not dare to trade in the future, so the loss will be too great!"

Thinking of this, Jia Fu angrily wanted to slap his forehead.

Gu Yue high-level, is exactly the idea.

Fang Yuan is only a third-class. If he really killed Jia Jinsheng and handed him over, it would be nothing. But the point is, now that his suspicions have been cleared, if he is still handed over, wouldn't the Gu Yue family suffer a lot of unnecessary losses?

Knowing that this conflict was irreconcilable, Jia Fu gritted his teeth and decided to persevere to the end.

He opened his mouth and said, "If that's the case, then let me use the Footprint Gu. After this Gu is used, the footprints of the last 30,000 steps can be displayed on the ground."

The school elder immediately snorted in displeasure.

Jia Fu said this, obviously not believing himself. But he didn't have any reason to stop him, so he stepped aside.

"Let's test!" Fang Yuan looked at Jia Fu with a sneer, and walked up to him with his head held high.

He was confident because he had anticipated this factor. Therefore, these days, they are all huddled in the cottage, and the secret cave of the stone cracks has not been involved at all.

Under the close watch of Gu Yue's senior management, Jia Fu did not play tricks.

Footprint Gu has a very special shape, like a human foot. Its material is like a piece of translucent frozen milk, giving people a smooth and tender feeling, and there is a layer of yellow-green fluorescence on the surface.

The body is not big, only the size of the palm of your hand.

Jia Fu held it in his hand, and the True Essence spewed out, pouring it into the Footprint Gu.

The footprint Gu became brighter and brighter, and suddenly there was a light bang, and it exploded into a large piece of yellow-green fluorescent powder.

Yingfen snorted, covered Fang Yuan, spun around him, and flew out of the door of the council hall.

As the fluorescent powder flew all the way, a series of footprints appeared on the ground.

These footprints all exude yellow-green fluorescence, and the size is exactly the same as Fang Yuan's two feet. It was the footsteps that he had just entered the council hall.

The footprints have been extending from the main pavilion to the school dormitory, and then circled around the school. In addition, it is to reach the inn in the cottage.

The yellow-green fluorescent powder flew less and less, and finally disappeared completely on the 30,000th footprint.

When the results came out, everyone checked and knew that Fang Yuan was completely innocent, no doubt about it.

Jia Fu sighed deeply, and took out a small jade box from his arms.

He opened the jade box, and there was only one jade piece in the jade box.

The jade piece was translucent emerald green, and a Gu worm was sealed inside.

This is a stick insect, its body is slender and slender, the color of jasper, and the whole body is like a round bamboo tube.

Stick insects are generally longer than a palm, but this one is not, only the length of a fingernail. On its surface, there is also a slight white light.

"Blue jade is the body, and Bai Hua is covering the body, this is a bamboo gentleman!" Immediately, some elders recognized this Gu worm and exclaimed.

Even the patriarch Gu Yuebo was moved, and couldn't help but persuade him, "Brother Jia, this Bamboo Gentleman is a rank four Gu worm. It's not easy to refine. Why waste it here?"

Jia Fu shook his head and looked at Fang Yuan: "This bamboo gentleman was obtained by accidental dissolving of the stone when I was young. The stone was only half-dissolved, and there was no further dissolving. As we all know, this Gu insect feeds on sincerity, and is naturally able to measure it. Lies. Only sincere gentlemen who have never told a lie since childhood can refine and feed this Gu."

"Fang Yuan, you just need to untie the stone and take the weak bamboo gentleman into the aperture. Whatever I ask you, you can answer. Then take out this Gu and let us all see if there is any worm. Discoloration. As long as it changes color, it means you are lying!"

"No problem." Without any hesitation, Fang Yuan untied the jade piece and did as Jia Fu said.

As soon as the bamboo gentleman appeared in the aperture, he immediately emitted a slight green light, illuminating the entire Sea of ​​True Essence.

Fang Yuan suddenly felt that as long as he told a lie, the bamboo gentleman could sense it, and his body changed from green to other colors.

But the reason why he promises it is also emboldened.

"Spring and Autumn Cicada!" He had a thought, and the sleeping Spring and Autumn Cicada suddenly woke up, exuding a ray of breath.

This aura was extremely magnificent, and immediately suppressed Zhu Junzi.

The green light emitted by the bamboo gentleman suddenly retracted into his body. The whole body was curled up, shivering with fear. Where is there any spare energy to sense a lie?

Jia Fu began to ask questions, and his first sentence pointed directly to the center: "Fang Yuan, did you harm my brother Jia Jinsheng?"

"No!" Fang Yuan answered decisively.

Jia Fu asked again, "Do you know anything else about him?"

Fang Yuan shook his head: "I don't know."

Jia Fu asked again, "Is there anything inaccurate in what you just said to us all?"

Fang Yuan shook his head again: "No."

"Okay, you can take out the bamboo gentleman." Jia Fu said after three sentences.

Fang Yuan took out the bamboo gentleman, and everyone looked at the bamboo gentleman, and saw that the surface of the bamboo gentleman was still a green color, and there was no change.

All the family members breathed a sigh of relief.

Jia Fu's expression also softened. He put away the bamboo gentleman, and threw his hands to Gu Yue Bo: "This time, I have offended you, Brother Gu Yue."

"It's okay, it's what we want to see if the truth is revealed." Gu Yuebo waved his hand, then sighed, "It's just a pity for this bamboo gentleman."

Bamboo gentleman has the ability to detect polygraphs, his rank is as high as four rank, and his value is very great. But feeding and refining are very difficult. It must be refined by sincere gentlemen. As long as other Gu Masters tell a lie, refining Bamboo Junzi will definitely fail, and Bamboo Junzi will die on the spot.

Its food is sincerity. As for the sojourn in the emptiness of the sincere gentleman, only the sincerity of the gentleman can survive.

Now that the bamboo gentleman was opened, he was extremely weak, but he had no food to restore his vitality. After Fang Yuan's use just now, death is a foregone conclusion.

However, Jia Fu shook his head and looked at the dying bamboo gentleman in his hand, which seemed not to be a pity.

He said solemnly: "I have done my best to investigate this matter, but unfortunately I am not able to catch it. This time I will return to the family, I will hire Chashen Tie Xue Leng with a lot of money, and I will definitely investigate this matter clearly! Goodbye."

After saying that, he handed over to Gu Yue Bo, turned around and walked away, neat and tidy, but he seemed a bit elegant.

Looking at the backs of Jia Fu and the others leaving, Gu Yue Bo let out a long sigh of relief: "You can all go too."

He waved to the elders, as if thinking of something, and said, "The school elders stay."

Without a single hair missing, Fang Yuan walked out of the patriarchal pavilion unharmed.
