Chapter 2369 I seem to have a very bad reputation
Shu Quan? Shu Feng never expected to hear this name from Shu Yu.
For a moment, he was dazed. How could Shu Quan know that he had captured the abbot of Dongqing Temple?
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes covered, so he couldn't see Shu Yu, but looked in the direction from which the voice had come. "How could Shu Quan tell you something like this? You two... you've been in contact all along? You had him spy on me?"
Shu Yu hadn't expected him to go so far astray. She shook her head and sighed, "You're overthinking it. It's not that I asked him to monitor you; it's that he just doesn't like you. Mainly, he's more pragmatic than you. He knows that following the Second Prince won't end well. Wasn't the last lesson profound enough? Your father lost his life, and your whole family was exiled to the southwest. Even Shu Quan knew to find a better patron, but you're stubbornly sticking to your path."
Shu Feng's expression changed.
Shu Yu said, "You have one last chance. If you confess honestly, you might be able to atone for your sins."
"Make amends for your crimes? Lu Shuyu, you've never been honest. Do you think I'd still believe you?"
Shu Yu was slightly surprised. "I'm someone who always keeps my word. How come I seem to have a bad reputation with you?"
"Bullshit! What about Ronghou? He just joined your side, but in the end, you found he was no longer of any use, so you used Lord Liu to take his life, didn't you?"
Shu Yu, “…” You’re overthinking things. Rong Hou’s death was truly an accident. Meng Yunzheng wanted to save him, but Rong Hou entered the room too quickly, and he couldn’t pull him back in time.
"Since you won't tell me, there's nothing I can do." Shu Yu sighed.
Shu Feng frowned, not realizing what was happening, when he heard her get up and open the door.
He was startled and suddenly felt a little nervous. He wanted to say something, but then he heard footsteps again, and the door closed again.
This time, it was Meng Yunzheng who asked the questions...
Shu Yu stood outside the courtyard, shook her head slightly, and muttered to herself, "They won't listen to well-intentioned advice, they only listen when others use underhanded methods. They still haven't figured out their own situation, no wonder they can't even handle Shu Quan."
She went to the kitchen to eat something and only came back when it was almost time.
A short while later, Meng Yunzheng came out of the room. Shu Yu peeked through the open door and saw Shu Feng with his head down, looking as if he had fainted.
Meng Yunzheng's hands were wet, so he must have just washed them.
Shu Yu handed him a handkerchief. "So, did you get anything out of him?"
"Yes." Meng Yunzheng nodded while wiping his hands. "They escaped from Zhengdao Village three days ago."
Three days ago?
They started their operation three days ago.
"According to Shu Feng, three days ago, several unfamiliar faces appeared in Zhengdao Village. In a place like Zhengdao Village, unless they are exiled prisoners or their relatives, strangers would hardly go there."
This is also why Qi Lie sent people to the village under the guise of exiling criminals.
In the past, it wouldn't have been a problem, but Liu Jie and his men are now extremely cautious, paying close attention to even the slightest disturbance.
Although the strangers didn't seem to have done anything, Liu Jie didn't want to take any risks. So, using the excuse that the boy was sick and they wanted to take him to the county town for treatment, the group decided to leave the village for a couple of days.
