Keyboard Immortal - 237. Chapter 236
“Zuan?”
After hearing the name the other party said, Sang Qian’s voice rose by an octave.
Sang Hong, who had always been calm, did not have time to blame his son this time. On the contrary, he was equally surprised, because the news was really unexpected.
It is really difficult for him to connect Zu An and Shi Lezhi such an 8-rank master, let alone kill Shi Lezhi.
“Brother Shi, you can’t be mistaken, are you?” Sang Qian asked suspiciously, thinking that this guy was cut by Zuan’s sword at the back of the college. He wouldn’t be frightened. , Deliberately described Zuan as strong, so that he is not so embarrassed?
But to kill the 8-Rank master, this is too ridiculous.
Sang Hong didn’t believe it either, but he didn’t hold his breath like his son, but looked at Shi Kun quietly, knowing that there must be a follow-up.
Sure enough, Shi Kun opened his mouth and smiled bitterly: “I also think I made a mistake…”
Then he explained what happened last night and Bian Tai’s reasoning. Of course, some unnecessary content was omitted. For example, they had prescribed medicine to Qiao Xueying, just as a normal capture of traitors.
“Nine-Rank…” Sang Hong was silent, as if thinking deeply about something.
Sang Qian said: “Brother Shi, there is no Ninth-Rank in Mingyue City, is there any misunderstanding on your side?”
Knowing that they don’t believe their words, Shi Kun sneered: “I’ve already told you everything that should be said. As for believe it or not, I’m up to you. Anyway, I will return to Beijing soon. What happened to your side? , It has nothing to do with me.”
“Is Young Master Shi going back to Beijing?” Sang Hongqi said.
“Yes, there is a letter from my family, and something calls me back.” Shi Kun was not embarrassed to say that he was scared, so he naturally found a reason.
After speaking, he greeted a few words and left in a hurry.
After he left, Sang Qian wondered: “Father, how could the Shi family call Shi Kun back to Beijing at this time?”
Sang Hong said indifferently: “Shi Kun’s plans have all failed, and it’s useless to stay here, not to mention that Shi Lezhi is dead. He should be terribly scared now and naturally went back.”
“What do you think of what he just said, is there really a mysterious master of Rank 9?” Sang Qian asked curiously.
“Is it right? Just ask.” Sang Hong got up and turned a porcelain bottle on the bookshelf behind him. The bookshelf was separated on both sides, and a secret room was exposed.
Immediately after a man with a mask came out from inside, Sang Qian couldn’t help but look at it a few more times. He couldn’t figure out why his father had to hide it from himself. After all this time, he made him wear a mask. .
Sang Hong said solemnly: “You heard what Shi Kun said just now, right? What do you think?”
“Nine-Rank? The Chu Family shouldn’t exist like this,” the person shook his head, and said sarcastically, “If there is really a Ninth-Rank, the Patriarch will not have his turn to sit in Chu Zhongtian.”
Sang Hong said, “I also judged this way, but Shi Lezhi’s death in Chu’s house is not like a fake. What is going on?”
“By the way, I remember now,” the masked man patted his forehead, “Last time the family’s big brother Zuan was a blockbuster, the Chu family also questioned him afterwards. At that time, he seemed to say that he had been taught the exercises by a stranger. It’s just that the stranger left after teaching him.”
“Could he be lying, the stranger didn’t actually leave, he was always by his side!”
Sang Hong nodded: “It’s very possible. This also explains why Shi Lezhi died in it silently. It should be because he learned that Chu Zhongtian was out of the city. Shi Kun was a bit miserable by the opponent, and he must retaliate.”
“Unfortunately, I didn’t expect that there is a mysterious master hidden behind Zu An. If that person makes a surprise attack with mental arithmetic and unintentional, even if his cultivation is similar to Shi Lezhi, he should be able to kill him.”
After roughly guessing, Sang Hong looked at the masked man: “The question now is, who is that mysterious master?”
A trace of doubt appeared in the eyes of the masked person: “I have been in the Chu family for so many years, and haven’t noticed that such a person exists. Could it be related to Zuan’s father’s generation, not in the Chu Mansion?”
Sang Qian on the side said, “After the Chu family chose Zu’an as their son-in-law, we sent someone to investigate Zu’an’s situation. We thought he had some special identity. Unfortunately, according to the information we found, he is a man. Orphan, raised by his uncle since he was a child, and his uncle also died not long ago.”
“We investigated his uncle, he is just an ordinary person, nothing special.”
“Orphan…” Sang Hong was lost in thought, “Can’t you find any information about his parents?”
“I haven’t found it,” Sang Qian shook his head, suddenly surprised, “Is there really any secret to his life experience?”
“Probably so,” Sang Hong’s eyes flickered, “There is no unprovoked kindness in this world. I don’t believe that a waste is worthy of such an effort to cultivate a mysterious master. Qianer, you can go and investigate his background information in depth. See if you can find any clues about his parents.”
“Okay!” Sang Qian agreed, but his face was a little embarrassed, “It’s just that you may not be able to find out anything, after all, I have checked it carefully before.”
“It used to be a needle in a haystack. Now this is a targeted investigation. Maybe there will be unexpected gains.” Sang Hong is quite experienced in this area, and then turned to look at the masked man. Besides, I have to trouble your Excellency to investigate in the Chu family, and see if you can find the mysterious person.”
“No matter how mysterious a person is, since in this world, he will inevitably leave traces. If you observe carefully, you should be able to find some clues.”
The masked man looked solemn: “Okay, I want to see which expert is hiding in the house.”
How can he be at ease with such a top expert hiding in the mansion?
“Then I’ll trouble you, Mr. Sang Hong,” Sang Hong then asked, “By the way, we just talked about the Chu and Wang caravans, how many people know about it, and will they doubt you afterwards?”
“Thank you for your concern, Master Prefect.” The masked man arched his hands. “Don’t worry, I didn’t participate in this matter. I heard about it from other channels, so after the incident, I will not be involved with me.”
Sang Hong smiled slightly: “Mr. is indeed an old world.”
“Doing things for the prefect, you can’t be careful,” the masked man showed hesitation after speaking, and finally said, “but the prefect promised me before, I don’t know…”
“Don’t worry, Sangmou has always been a person who keeps his promises,” Sang Hong replied, “Chu Zhongtian doesn’t know the current affairs and is destined to be eliminated. By then, the Chu family will belong to you, and the person you are thinking about. .”
The eyes of the masked man showed a sense of sorrow: “Let the prefect laugh.”
“It’s quite normal for a gentle lady and gentleman. What’s so funny.” Sang Hong smiled slightly. “Why did Chu Zhongtian suddenly go out of the city last night? It seems that Miss Chu was sick? I actually needed to go overnight. Looking for genius doctor Ji?”
“Yes, it’s true that Chu Chuyan has something wrong with her body.” The masked man replied, “It’s a pity that the Chu family kept her condition strictly confidential, and I don’t even know what the situation is.”
“Could it be that there are side effects after taking Wuxian Illusion Lotus.” Sang Hong fell into deep thought, Chu Chuyan’s strength skyrocketed after he came out of the secret realm. The matter of Wuxian Illusion Lotus is no longer a secret.
“I have sent someone to approach Zuan to listen to Chu Chuyan’s news. With follow-up news, I will notify the prefect as soon as possible.” The mask man said.
“Okay, Mr. Troublesome.” Sang Hong saluted.
“Master Sang is polite.” The masked man hurriedly got up and replied.
After the two chatted for a while, the masked man left.
After he left, Sang Qian said with some dissatisfaction: “Father, who is this person? Why didn’t you even hide it from me?”
Sang Hong replied: “This is his request. His identity is sensitive and he only wants to let me know by myself. Since I have agreed to him, I am not going to break my promise.”
Knowing that his father had always said something, Sang Qian didn’t dare to say anything. He just murmured and didn’t know his identity, making it so mysterious.
Seeing his reaction, Sang Hong shook his head secretly, his son’s character was still a bit too reckless, no wonder the man had such a request.
“By the way, I heard that you are letting Zheng Dan approach Zuan?” Thinking of another incident, Sang Qian’s voice suddenly fell cold.

Today, I seem to have offended the school teacher by accidentally saying the wrong thing. The point is that I didn’t mean that. I spent the whole night in panic, and now I have not recovered my mood. Hey, my kind of scum is really suitable to be a keyboard man and give pointers on the Internet.
