Kong Qing gave him a deep look, and finally said meaningfully, "Lord Zu is indeed a young hero. No wonder, no wonder."
Zuan was completely baffled. This person's eyes looked strange. Could this be the so-called pupil technique?
Yu Yanluo was also somewhat surprised. She knew that Kong Qing was a notorious ruthless person among the demon race. She was worried that Zu An's words would anger him and he would take the opportunity to cause trouble.
She was even prepared to come to her rescue, but the other party simply replied with a casual remark, and his tone was full of praise.
Jian Taiding, standing to the side, was overjoyed, as if he had seen a savior: "Mr. Kong, you've come at the right time. These two know our secret. Quickly get rid of the one surnamed Zu. My sister-in-law is the head of the Yu family. Getting rid of her would have too much of an impact. Just subdue her first and then put her under house arrest."
Zuan couldn't help but laugh: "Even at a time like this, you still haven't forgotten your sister-in-law."
Even Yu Yanluo blushed deeply, giving him a disapproving look, clearly blaming him for talking nonsense.
However, to Jian Taiding, this look seemed more like flirting. When had his sister-in-law ever looked at him like that?
Thinking of this, he felt both jealous and hateful towards Zuan.

At this moment, Kong Qing looked at Jian Taiding and couldn't help but shake his head: "Governor Jian, how did you end up in such a miserable state?"
His tone contained sympathy, sighs, and something else that was hard to define.
"Hmph, I was already injured, and then I was ambushed by a villain." Although Jian Taiding answered like this, he was filled with regret in his heart.
These past few days, seeing that imposter wandering around the mansion has made me flustered, and I'm anxious to confirm whether my elder brother has truly been resurrected.
This matter was confidential, so he naturally couldn't let others know, which gave Zuan an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Otherwise, with so many skilled warriors and such a strong military under his command, he wouldn't even need to personally take action to destroy the enemy.
"By the way, why did you suddenly come here?" Jian Taiding suddenly became alert.
Kong Qing smiled and said, "Didn't I hear that the Duke of Yunzhong suddenly appeared and returned? And everyone was saying it as if it were true. I was curious, so I naturally came to take a look. I didn't expect to see such a wonderful scene."
Yu Yanluo's eyes narrowed: "Were you also involved in the plot to harm Yanyou?"
"Governor Jian did indeed ask me to come and help in that battle, but their plan was too meticulous. Before I could even make a move, they had already taken care of everything." Kong Qing got off the Wolf King and looked at Jian Yanyou's ice sculpture not far away. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes, but he didn't think about it too much and continued, "I'm not saying this to shirk my responsibilities. You should know that the Duke of Yunzhong is out of touch with reality. There are many people who want him dead. If there is a need, I will naturally not hesitate to take action."
Zu An said in a deep voice, "Just because the Duke of Yunzhong refused to collude with you, you eliminated him and replaced him with Jian Taiding to cooperate with the demon race in smuggling?"
Kong Qing glanced at him: "You seem to know quite a lot, but do you think Jian Yanyou is so clean? He was the one who cooperated with us in the first place."
"What!" This was the first time Zu'an had heard this. In his mind, it must be that Jian Yanyou refused to cooperate with the demon race in smuggling, and Jian Taiding, because he coveted Yu Yanluo and had great ambitions, hit it off with the demon race and the two sides joined forces to eliminate Jian Yanyou.
But now I've heard that Jian Yanyou and the demon race were actually partners from the very beginning?
“That’s right, but he’s made enough money over the years, and now that he’s achieved success, he wants to retire,” Kong Qing sneered. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Once you’ve embarked on this path, there’s no turning back. If he wants to turn back, we’ll help him take his head off.”
"Why are you explaining all this to him? Just get rid of him already!" Jian Taiding complained.
Even Yu Yanluo found it strange, feeling that Kong Qing's attitude towards Zu'an seemed somewhat unusual.
However, she still had to explain on behalf of her nominal husband: "Aunt, don't be misled by him. I know a little about what Yan You did a few years ago. At that time, he did have some cooperation with the demon race, but it was only within a certain controllable range. There are many shady things that aristocratic families do. If you really want to investigate, you can find out some things about any family."
"I just didn't expect that the demon race's appetite would grow bigger and bigger. The amount of smuggling was not only shocking, but also included a large amount of military supplies. Yan You was worried that something big would happen, so he broke off the cooperation with them."
Zu An frowned upon hearing this, but before he could say anything, Kong Qing laughed and said, "Lord Zu, Madam Yu didn't tell you what she just said before, did she?"
Zu An's heart sank; there really wasn't one.
I remember he even asked her about it. At the time, Yu Yanluo was very surprised and shocked when she heard about colluding with the demon race. Now that I think about it, her acting skills were really good.
Yu Yanluo opened her mouth as if to explain, but in the end she said nothing.
Although their relationship was acceptable at the time, it wasn't close enough for them to exchange such confidential family matters. Moreover, the other party was an imperial envoy who had come to Yunzhong County to investigate related cases, so how could he possibly tell him these things?
There's no point in explaining now; it will only lead to misunderstanding.
She sighed softly, a hint of melancholy creeping into her eyes.
Jian Taiding, who was always watching her closely, keenly noticed the change in her thoughts and was filled with intense jealousy.
When has my sister-in-law, who is the most beautiful woman in the world, ever been so conflicted about another man?
Anger points from Jian Taiding: +546 +546 +546...
