My Gu Can Cultivate on Their Own

Chapter 217: Li Tongzhou

As for how the rest of the matter would progress and how far it would go, that was not up to them to decide. It all depended on the reactions of the various factions.

As the group of bailiffs quickly sent Fang Yuan back to the Supreme Court’s prison, there were also a large number of bailiffs doing checks around the Zhang Manor.

They were checking how many people had died because of this incident, how many people had been injured, and how many properties had been destroyed.

Although these things were complicated, they were also part of their work to solve the case. It was part of their job, so they did not slack off in the slightest. After Fang Yuan reached the Supreme Court’s internal prison, he was directly imprisoned in a black stone cell.

There were no windows or gaps around this building to let in the light from outside. It was pure darkness inside.

And in this darkness, there was a large amount of damp, fishy smell, as well as a faint, almost nonexistent smell.

Fang Yuan guessed that if anyone was really imprisoned in such a dark place, then they would probably not let go of anything that could enter their environment, even if it was a bug, a cockroach, or a rat.

When Fang Yuan was sent to the high-ranking officials of the Supreme Court, everyone in the Supreme Court was alerted. Many spies even reported back to someone in the imperial palace on the same day.

However, for some unknown reason, they did not make any reactioins at all. When such a huge incident happened, all the forces in the capital of the Yan Shen Empire took action.

Previously, Li Tongzhou, who was very familiar with Fang Yuan, immediately went to look for his father after receiving the news that Fang Yuan had been arrested and imprisoned.

As the young master of the current prime minister, there was naturally no need to explain in detail how much power Li Tonghzou held.

“Aiya, father! Quickly look at these Imperial Court vermin!”

What kind of things do they do on a daily basis? If you don’t take care of them, the sky would be turned upside down.

Li Tongzhou angrily sent his men to find out more information about Fang Yuan’s situation. At the same time, he quickly gathered his servants and went to his father’s office.

Because of some reasons that could not be explained, and some things that the Yan Shen Saint had done in the past, Li Tongzhou’s father had quite a lot of royal blood. To outsiders, Li Tongzhou’s father could be considered a royal relative.

His power and influence were top-notch in the entire Yan Shen Empire. In addition, his royal identity gave him the ability to face the current Yan Shen Saint directly.

Therefore, Li Tongzhou’s father’s daily work was almost always in the imperial palace. Besides for rest, he rarely went home.

Although every time Li Tongzhou wanted to find his father, it was very convenient, entering the imperial palace like entering his own home, and convenient as it was, he had the experience of always having to leave home and go to another room to find his father, which made Li Tongzhou’s past experience growing up not very perfect.

Although his family could be considered to be extremely powerful and wealthy, his father spent less than a tenth of the year at home. This fact was never acceptable to Li Tongzhou.

Therefore, Li Tongzhou’s dissatisfaction with his father was naturally clear in his father’s heart.

Therefore, whenever Li Tongzhou had any needs, his father would try his best to satisfy him. Ever since he was young, there was no exception.

Even if it was something extremely rare within the Yan Shen Empire’s territory, or even something that was not there, that he had to seek outside of the Yan Shen Empire’s territory. He had already satisfied almost everything.

At this moment, Li Tongzhou naturally went to the imperial palace to look for his father with a belly full of dissatisfaction. The first thing he did when he saw his father was complain.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong? What happened this time? Tell Father.”

Li Tongzhou’s father, the prime minister, saw Li Tongzhou when he shouldn’t have seen him. Although he was puzzled, he still hurriedly asked him to sit down.

“It’s about Fang Yuan. I think you know what the Zhang clan is like.”

“And I heard that they directly made a move on someone by Fang Yuan’s side. It’s said that the relationship between that person and Fang Yuan is not ordinary!”

“So when Fang Yuan received the news, he couldn’t wait to find them. It seemed that he just wanted an explanation and an answer, but he didn’t expect to be directly rejected by the butler.”

“It’s fine if they rejected him, but they actually made a move against him. I heard that this time, their butler brought the strongest group of guards. It’s said that the eighteen leaders all made a move together.”

“But how could they be Fang Yuan’s match? They were all defeated and killed by Fang Yuan in just two or three moves. Father, tell me, is this a big deal?”

Li Tongzhou was not in the mood to slowly explain. He anxiously paced back and forth in front of his father, telling him everything he knew.

“Alright, alright, I know the situation you are talking about, the Fang Yuan you are talking about. I have a piece of information. He is the personal disciple of the sect master Gu Zhenren from the Gu Immortal Sect in the southeast direction of Yan Shen Empire, right?”

“As for the specific situation of the Zhang clan, I know about it too, but this time, they are not acting alone.”

Li Tongzhou’s father, the prime minister, said silently.

“What? Is there any information I don’t know?”

Li Tongzhou asked in surprise, and his father continued.

“According to our official information, the Zhang clan’s operation this time is quite big. They first incited the clan heads of the other four forces in the capital to sell off all their assets.”

“Then, they pledged to the Gu Demon Sect. When they received the primeval stones, they immediately mobilized their men to purchase a large number of shops in the entire Yan Shen Empire’s capital.”

“And they are also the main culprit behind the looting of resources and the spreading of rumors in the Yan Shen Empire’s capital today.”

“What? So it was the Zhang clan that caused such a huge commotion and made the people’s lives miserable? Father, you just said that the Gu Demon Sect is behind the Zhang clan?”

“It seems that this time, not only did the Zhang clan want to cause trouble for themselves, even the Gu Demon Sect has ulterior motives.”
