I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 772:
Chapter 772: Complicated (1)
Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but smile in relief.
As his most capable subordinate, Gu Qinghuan had never disappointed him.
However, this was an away match, and it was in the Six Nations, which was the most difficult place. Jiang Beiran had thought that Gu Qinghuan would need some time to get used to it, or perhaps one or two defeats to pave the way. At the very least, it would not be as perfect as before. He only needed to wait for the good news.
However, it turned out that he had still underestimated Gu Qinghuan’s ability.
Not only did Gu Qinghuan quickly adapt to Tan Country, but he also solved the problem that he thought would be very difficult in less than a month. He even had many options for him to choose from.
“Absolute!”

After he was done lamenting, Jiang Beiran asked calmly, “”Tell me which option you think I’m most likely to choose.”
“Yes, sir!” Gu Qinghuan cupped her hands and replied,” Wen Yunyan has an older brother named Wen Yuanhui. They grew up together and were very close. But just last month, Wen Yuanzheng died tragically outside a small town called
Dianlin. Now, his heart is filled with the fire of revenge.”
With Gu Qinghuan’s supplementary description, Jiang Beiran quickly understood the gist of the matter.
Wen Yuanzheng was the eldest son of the Wen family. He had excellent talent since he was young and was gentle and respectful. Therefore, he was loved by his younger brothers and sisters in the family.
However, just last month, the Wen family’s eldest young master suddenly died tragically outside the Forest Array, and beside him lay a female corpse in a terrible state.
This woman’s surname was Lin, and her name was Yan. She was a disciple of the Green Cloud Sect. In the sect, her beauty was unparalleled, and she was the dream lover of many male disciples.
The Green Cloud Sect was located in Fenghe County, and they were neighbors of Renwu County, where the Wen family was located.
Wen Yuanzheng and Lin Yan had met by accident, and they had developed feelings for each other ever since.
However, Lin Yan already had a lover, and this lover’s name was Liu Zhousi.
Liu Zhousi’s identity was not simple. He was the second son of the Commandery Governor of Renwu, the Wu Manor. The Chang Wu Manor and the Wen family had always been on bad terms. The two families were not like fire and water, but they often quarreled over the distribution of resources.
Therefore, when Wen Yuanzheng died tragically outside Dianlin Town, the
Wen family quickly investigated the matter and directly attacked the Changwu Village where the Liu family was located, wanting to take Liu Zhousi’s life as compensation.
However, Liu Zhousi insisted that the death of the adulterous couple had nothing to do with him.
The fact that these two families could hold out for such a long time also meant that their overall strength was about the same.
Therefore, since they could not produce any evidence and did not intend to fight to the death with the other party, the Wen family could only swallow their anger and retreat to find real evidence before going to the Liu family to ask for an explanation.
Among them, Wen Yuanzheng was the most eager.
At this point, Jiang Beiran had basically understood what Gu Qinghuan meant. If he wanted Wen Yuanzheng to hand over Zhanri Liu willingly, he would have to help him take revenge.
Whether it was killing Liu Zhousi directly or finding evidence that Liu Zhousi had killed his elder brother, it should be enough to make Wen Yuanzheng willing to hand over the Sun Chopping Glass as a reward.
“So you’ve already investigated it clearly?” Jiang Beiran asked after drinking a glass of wine.
“Yes.” Gu Qinghuan cupped her hands.” Because the Wen and Liu families were never on good terms, the Wen family had determined that Liu Zhousi was the murderer of Wen Yuanzheng since the beginning of the incident. Liu Zhousi was at the peak of the Mystic Emperor realm, which was much stronger than Wen Yuanzheng, who was at the eighth level of the Mystic Emperor realm. He had the ability to kill him.”
“Other than that, Liu Zhousi’s motive for killing was also very strong. After all, it was Wen Yuanzheng who took away his lover first, so it’s not surprising that
Liu Zhousi took revenge.”
Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but nod to himself.
‘Yes… No matter what era it was, being cuckolded would easily make people go crazy and do irrational things.’
After explaining the background of the incident, Gu Qinghuan added,””However, while everyone’s attention was drawn to the feud between the Wen and Liu families, I felt that I might be able to find something on this woman called Lin Yan. However, the Wen and Liu families must have thought of everything that I could think of, but they didn’t seem to find anything on her. ”
“Is that why you need Wen Zhou’s help?” Jiang Beiran could not help but laugh.”
“Yes.” Gu Qinghuan nodded.” Junior Brother Luo has an in-depth investigation that ordinary people can’t compare to. That’s why I’ve troubled Senior Brother to find him.”
“Senior Brother Gu, you’re too kind.” Luo Wenzhou immediately cupped his hands.”
“It seems that Wen Zhou has indeed found something.”
“Yes.” Gu Qinghuan nodded.” After Junior Brother Wen Zhou came, I told him a little about the ins and outs of the incident. After only three days, he gained something.”
“He received a letter from a female disciple of the Green Cloud Sect. It was a letter left behind by Lin Yan.”
‘Good fellow…
Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but sigh at the fact that his two disciples were both talented and had amazing bones. He had actually managed to find out something that even the two local tycoons had failed to.
“Senior Brother, this is the letter.”
After receiving the letter from Gu Qinghuan, Jiang Beiran opened it and read it once. He found that the contents of the letter were very interesting.
In the letter, Lin Yan told him that someone had planned for her from her “accidental” meeting with Wen Yuanzheng to her falling in love with him. The person who had planned and instructed her was the Shen family of Cangxi
Prefecture..
