Chapter 241 Gong Yuanzheng 28
It didn't take long.
Manager Jia's son was brought up.
"Dad, I'm scared."
Steward Jia's son leaned against his father, his face full of fear. He had never seen any important figures before, and now that he was facing all the important people in the palace, he was naturally flustered.
"Don't be afraid, Father is here."
Steward Jia patted his son on the back.
To save his son's life, he might as well tell the whole truth.
"I remember that Steward Jia's son was frail and sickly, wasn't he?"
Gong Yuanzheng looked at Jia Ming, the robust son of Steward Jia, on the ground, and found it to be completely different from what he knew.
Over the years, he had been sending physicians to take care of Steward Jia's son, because of his congenital weakness, which had no easy way to cure.
Unless it's a rare and precious herb, something so valuable that even the palace gates rarely have it, and no one has ever used it before, how could it be given to the son of a steward?
"He seems to be healthier than most people now."
Qingyue: "It seems I was right, all the gains have come from Steward Jia's son."
Gong Yuanzheng was furious when he saw the two people on the ground; they were the ones who framed him.
"Manager Jia, honestly confess everything, or I'll tear your son to pieces right in front of you and dump his body in the river!"
He now knows what a valid threat is.
It was thanks to his wife demonstrating for him on the spot that he was able to avoid suffering this injustice because of Gong Ziyu.
Seeing that Gong Yuanzheng was a promising young man, Qingyue nodded inwardly. He understood immediately and wasn't that stupid.
Jia Ming shuddered in fright.
Manager Jia felt a chill run down his spine at the thought, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"I only have this one son, young master, please, don't do this."
"Father, what have you done?" Jia Ming looked at Steward Jia pleadingly, "Please don't make any more mistakes, I don't want to die."
He had just recovered and hadn't even had a proper chance to go out and about. How could he just die like this?
Steward Jia stood up and hugged his son tightly.
"I won't let you die, I won't, I definitely won't."
His son is not married yet and has no offspring. The bloodline cannot be broken in his generation. Even if he goes to the underworld, he will have no face to meet his elders.
Gong Yuanzheng gave him a small reward.
"If you tell the truth, I might spare his life."
The person who betrayed him was Steward Jia. Judging from Jia Ming's appearance, he knew nothing. As long as the truth was told, he could be merciful and let Jia Ming go.
Jia Ming is so greedy for life that even if he were released, he probably wouldn't want to take revenge, let alone be expelled from the palace.
Manager Jia clenched his fists, his heart hardening.
"...Fine, I'll talk, I just beg you to release my son."
Gong Yuanzheng gave Jin Wu a wink, and Jin Wu, understanding the signal, dragged Jia Ming up and held a knife to Jia Ming's neck.
Jia Ming swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on the knife, too afraid to move. The knife was pressed against his skin; any movement could slit his throat.
Manager Jia couldn't hold onto his son, and seeing his son like this, he quickly pleaded.
“I told him everything, don’t hurt him, he’s innocent, he doesn’t know anything.”
Gong Yuanzheng said impatiently, "If you keep delaying, I can't guarantee he'll get out of this door unharmed."
"It's...it's Young Master Gong Huanyu!" Steward Jia shouted with his eyes closed; he really said it out loud...
"what!"
The three elders stood up excitedly.
Gong Shangjiao, Gong Yuanzheng, and Gong Ziyu stared blankly at Steward Jia in astonishment.
How could it be someone I've never suspected?
The angry man was now Gong Ziyu, who stepped forward and grabbed Steward Jia by the collar.
"Are you lying again? Did Gong Yuanzheng threaten your family's lives to say this?!"
Elder Hua frowned: "Ziyu, let him go!"
Jin Fan stepped forward, pulled Gong Ziyu's hand away, and dragged him back a few steps.
Elder Xue: "Explain everything clearly."
Things have come to this point, and the name of the person behind it has already been revealed. What else is there that cannot be said?
Manager Jia's head was lowered when his voice came through.
“My son was in critical condition that day. I thought I would follow him if he left. Just then, Young Master Gong Huanyu found me and said he could save my son, but I had to do something for him.”
"I was at my wit's end, so I agreed. I would do anything to save my son."
"Later, Young Master Gong Huanyu brought the Cloud Lotus that Young Master had researched. He gave me such a precious thing, and I immediately gave it to my son. Seeing that he was healthy and stronger than ordinary people, I was satisfied."
"what!"
Gong Yuanzheng was shocked and even more annoyed than before.
"The Izumo Lotus was left to my brother, but Old Blade said that the young master's martial arts had been stuck for a long time and he was exhausted, so he took the Izumo Lotus. And then it was given to your son?"
All those years of painstaking research to discover that one flower, and it's been ruined like this!
What does it matter to him whether Jia Ming lives or dies? His brother, Gong Shangjiao, is always traveling and has many injuries. He took care of Yun Chonglian because of Gong Shangjiao.
As a result, when the old master heard that he had successfully cultivated Gong Huanyu, he immediately asked for it because of Gong Huanyu's power level.
He couldn't refuse, nor could he allow Lao Zhiren to trip up his brother or make things difficult for him. He also didn't want Lao Zhiren to talk to his brother about it; it would break his heart.
Therefore, he could only offer the Cloud Lotus to the old Blade Master.
Thinking that if he could cultivate one, he could cultivate a second and a third. Fortunately, there were still seeds of the Izumo Lotus, and they were almost successfully cultivated.
Otherwise, he might have been so angry that he would have vomited blood on the spot, dug up Gong Huanyu's grave, stabbed him hundreds of times, and poisoned him with hundreds of kinds of drugs.
ah--!!
I'm so angry!
Everyone present fell silent.
Everyone knows how much effort Gong Yuanzheng put into cultivating the Cloud Lotus.
It's one thing to give Gong Huanyu such precious things, but to give them to a servant's son is another.
They had never used such good things before, so they immediately felt unbalanced and understood why Gong Yuanzheng was so angry.
"Can the Izumo Lotus bring people back to life?" Qingyue asked, tilting her head slightly.
She had never even heard of such herbs before; she should have read more medical books.
Gong Yuanzheng lowered his head and whispered, "I'll tell you later. In short, the Izumo Lotus is extremely rare and precious."
Qingyue nodded, then quickly withdrew her head; this wasn't her place to shine.
Manager Jia, kneeling on the ground, gave a bitter smile.
"Because I knew how precious the Cloud Lotus was, when I saw Young Master Gong Huanyu take out the Cloud Lotus, I knew that my son was saved. I dared not doubt the things that Young Master Gong Huanyu asked me to do."
"Gong Huanyu asked me to replace one of the herbs in the Hundred Herbs Extract. I did as he instructed. I never thought it would kill Old Master Zhiren, and I never thought that Young Master Gong Huanyu would also die."
