Crossover Anime: Where Did My Male God Go?

Chapter 242 Gong Yuanzheng 29

Upon hearing this, Gong Ziyu staggered and almost fell, but Jin Fan caught her.

"How could it have been my brother who did this..."

"Are you still lying to me? Are you conspiring with Gong Yuanzheng to deceive me? My brother is dead! Is this how you treat the dead?!"

Gong Shangjiao was furious when he saw his expression.

"Take a good look at Steward Jia's son. His current health is the best proof. How long are you going to be so brainless!"

Gong Ziyu's eyes were red: "My brother was the mastermind behind all of this, how can I believe that?!"

"This is the truth, and you have no choice but to believe it," Gong Shangjiao said cruelly to him.

Elder Hua: "Steward Jia, if there is any error in what you say, your son's life will be in danger."

"What I said is real."

Seeing that the knife was still stuck to Jia Ming's neck, Steward Jia kowtowed several more times on the ground.

“My son’s condition and the doctor’s treatment are all clearly recorded. His body was already beyond saving, and the doctor had already pronounced him dead. If it weren’t for Chu Yun Chong Lian, Ming’er would not have become a normal person, and his body would not be stronger than that of an ordinary person.”

"If I could do this, how could I let Ming'er suffer for so many years?"

"The young master has only cultivated this one Cloud Lotus so far. He personally entrusted it to the old wielder, and then handed it over to young master Gong Huanyu. If young master Gong Huanyu hadn't brought the Cloud Lotus to me, I would have gone with Ming'er that day."

"Back then, I would never have dared to covet the Izumo Lotus!"

"Let alone stealing it, I'm just a manager and I don't know any martial arts. Besides, Young Master Gong Huanyu is so powerful, how could I possibly steal the Cloud Lotus from him?"

"Everything I said is true, the facts are clear, there is not a single lie. Please, young master and elders, see for yourselves!"

Manager Jia kowtowed and explained repeatedly, afraid that if he hesitated even for a second, Jia Ming's head would fall to the ground.

Bloodstains were visible on the ground, and blood flowed down Steward Jia's forehead and onto his face.

He doesn't regret doing these things. As long as his son can live a healthy life, that's all that matters. Now that things have come to this, he must ensure that his son's life is preserved.

Gong Yuanzheng: "Brother, I just remembered something."

"Hmm?" Gong Shangjiao didn't understand what Gong Yuanzheng was going to say at this moment.

"Do you remember the Winter Cicada Grass that Young Master Yue researched?" Gong Yuanzheng thought of the medicine that Young Master Yue used on Yun Que: "It can make people appear dead. Do you think Gong Huanyu also appeared dead?"

"Otherwise, there's no reason for him to have planned all of this!"

Gong Shangjiao exclaimed in surprise: "It's really possible!"

"What did you say?" Gong Ziyu sniffed. "My brother isn't dead?"

"We'll only know for sure once the coffin is opened."

If that's really the case, what exactly does Gong Huanyu want to do? He's already the young master, and it won't be long before Zhi Ren abdicates, making him the rightful Zhi Ren.

Why did he design all of this?

Gong Ziyu strongly refused: "Even in death, my brother cannot find peace. I will not allow you to do this."

Gong Shangjiao: "Gong Ziyu, you need to see the current situation clearly. Have you considered what Gong Huanyu is going to do to the Gong family!"

"But these are all just your guesses. What if my brother really is dead?" Gong Ziyu remained completely unmoved by reason.

Gong Shangjiao's forehead veins bulged: "If we're wrong, hold a grand funeral for the young master again, and I'll personally kowtow to him a few times to admit my mistake. Are you satisfied now?"

“…Satisfied…”

Gong Ziyu swallowed hard. Gong Shangjiao actually said such harsh words. If she resisted any longer, she probably wouldn't get anything.

Gong Yuanzheng: "Send Steward Jia's son back, and don't forget to keep quiet."

"Yes!"

Jin Wu sheathed his sword and pushed Jia Ming away.

Seeing his son safe and sound, Steward Jia smiled. They had kept their promise; he hadn't made a wrong bet.

Gong Shangjiao: "Gong Huanyu probably anticipated that you would be brought in for questioning!"

Steward Jia nodded: "Young Master Gong Huanyu gave me a poison sac, which I hid in his back molar. If he says anything to frame the young master, he will die immediately, and then the young master will have no way to defend himself."

"I just didn't expect that the young master's wife would warn me in advance, which made me afraid to do it."

If it weren't for the young master's wife constantly threatening him with his family, he would have wanted to end his life the moment he was questioned.

"How insidious."

Gong Yuanzheng gritted his teeth fiercely, unable to understand why Gong Huanyu would frame him.

Fortunately, his wife was smart; otherwise, with Gong Ziyu's idiotic brain, he would have definitely concluded that he was the murderer.

Thinking of this, he reached out and pulled Qingyue's hand, saying that the wife he had chosen was the best.

When someone suddenly took her hand, Qingyue's eyes widened slightly as she stared blankly at the hand being held.

very strange.

It feels different from when I was a child, when I was holding the hand of my younger brother.

Gong Yuanzheng's palm was a size larger than hers, making her hands look small. She felt the warmth from his palm and looked up.

Gong Yuanzheng pretended to be calm and ignored her gaze.

Feeling a strange sensation in her heart, Qingyue chuckled softly, "I'll have to guide you in the future, my consort!"

Gong Shangjiao: "According to Gong Huanyu's plan, you can die now."

Now is not the time to alert the enemy; we need to secretly find fault with Gong Huanyu.

"Yes."

Manager Jia obediently bit down on the poison in his back teeth and collapsed to the ground, dying instantly.

Gong Shangjiao: "Someone, take Steward Jia's body back to his son to arrange his funeral."

"Yes!"

Jin Fu, who had escorted Shangguan Qian back, received his orders, carried Steward Jia's body out the door, and handed it to the guards outside, instructing them to carry out the orders.

Elder Hua: "Shang Jiao, it's safest for you to handle these matters."

"it is good."

Gong Shangjiao agreed. He hadn't intended to hand it over to anyone else anyway. Why would he hand it over to Gong Ziyu, who only denied the facts?

Too much happened tonight, and it was all so chaotic.

The three elders were very troubled.

They were relieved to have Gong Shangjiao in charge, and only hoped that Gong Ziyu would not act recklessly again.

Elder Yue: "Ziyu, you should follow Shangjiao and Yuanzheng and learn from them. Discuss things with each other and don't investigate everything on your own, or you'll easily go astray."

"...Yes." Gong Ziyu bowed to them.

What he wanted to seize was their weakness, so how could he negotiate with them!

Who knows if they are the real culprits who killed their father and brother? They are so suspicious, yet things just seem to have missed them and ended up involving the brother.

He knew that Steward Jia wasn't lying; if he wanted Jia Ming to live, he would definitely be telling the truth.

But he struggled to overcome his own inner conflict: how could his brother have killed their father?

It was too late tonight, and if they were to take action, it would be tomorrow. They pretended to argue at the door for a while, and then everyone dispersed.

Gong Yuanzheng stood outside the door and spoke to Qing Yue beside him.

"Don't go to the women's quarters, just go back to the Zheng Palace. Your room has been prepared."

She came without bringing anything, only wearing her wedding dress, so there was no need to pack anything; she could just have someone prepare new things.
