The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 191 Cloud Feather (Viewing Mode) 2

In this situation, if Zheng Nanyi is found to be the Wufeng Assassin, then Gong Shangjiao's situation will become very awkward.

Even if Gong Hongyu trusts him and doesn't punish him, he still has to personally go to the Zheng family to investigate.

Therefore, he was not at the palace gate at the crucial moment, thus missing the opportunity to inherit the position and wield the blade, which allowed Gong Ziyu to take advantage of the situation.

Those present couldn't help but feel sorry for Miyazaki. He was clearly the most capable among the younger generation, yet he repeatedly missed out on the position of Blade Master. It was truly a cruel twist of fate!

Turning to look at Gong Ziyu, who was still in a daze, everyone couldn't help but sigh again.

Now that things have come to this, they can only hope that after Gong Ziyu becomes the Blade Master, he can change his old temper and think more about the Gong family!

After that, everyone watched as Jin Fan tirelessly searched for the true cause of death of the old master and the young master.

Jin Fan investigated Lady Wu Ji, the clinic, the female assassin's corpse, and the brothel. He was busy all day long. In contrast, Gong Ziyu stayed in her room in a daze.

Ah this...

Your father and older brother are both dead, and you're just hiding in your room doing nothing. That's just too much...

Everyone's eyes unconsciously glanced at Gong Ziyu.

Well! Given Gong Ziyu's previous uneducated and dissolute character, this is something he is capable of doing.

Good heavens! With such a wielder, won't the palace be doomed?

Gong Hongyu glared at Gong Ziyu, his face flushed with shame, feeling that his son was utterly disappointing.

The images on the wall continued to appear.

Jin Fan brought Yun Weishan to the Feather Palace and recounted in detail Yun Weishan's suspicious actions of releasing river lanterns and trying to escape.

Facing the pitiful beauty, Gong Ziyu remained expressionless and said lightly, "Send her to the dungeon and interrogate her thoroughly!"

The tone was so natural, as if he were greeting someone, rather than sending a delicate girl to the dungeon.

Yun Weishan was shocked and hurriedly said, "Young Master Yu, please listen to me..."

Gong Ziyu, however, seemed to show no mercy whatsoever. Ignoring Yun Weishan's loud protests, he simply waved his sleeve and ordered, "Take her away!"

Seeing that Gong Ziyu had decisively sent Yun Weishan into the dungeon, Gong Hongyu's expression softened slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Yun Weishan's pitiful appearance just now, he was really worried that his silly son would soften his heart and let Yun Weishan go.

"At least they've learned their lesson and realized there's something wrong with Yun Weishan, so they didn't release him easily," Gong Hongyu thought to himself with a sense of relief.

Others' attitudes toward Gong Ziyu also changed somewhat; they never expected that Gong Ziyu could be so decisive.

However, Gong Ziyu, who was being praised by everyone, frowned. How could he be so cold and ruthless in the scene? Without any solid evidence, he sent Miss Yun to the dungeon. How could a weak woman like her withstand the methods used in the dungeon?

"The only unusual thing about Miss Jiang before she was poisoned was that she had been drinking tea with Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian. It's hard not to suspect that Miss Jiang's poisoning was related to them."

"...Yun Weishan is strange, she is very likely the assassin Wufeng...and Shangguan Qian is probably also suspicious, take her to the dungeon for interrogation as well."

"...Send men immediately to arrest the pharmacy manager...We need to see him alive or dead."

...Send men to strictly control the women's quarters...If anyone resists, kill them on the spot!

Ok?

"Is this Gong Ziyu?"

Everyone looked at Gong Ziyu, who was calmly and methodically issuing orders on the screen, and a big question mark popped into their minds.

Is the person in the picture definitely not Gong Shangjiao, but Gong Ziyu?

The Gong Ziyu they knew was an ignorant, reckless, and frivolous person who often indiscriminately gave alms without considering the consequences. Even though he was already twenty years old, he was still like a child who hadn't grown up, still possessing the impetuousness and immaturity of youth, lacking the composure that an adult should have, and giving the impression that he would never amount to anything.

However, the Gong Ziyu in the picture is completely different from the real him.

Gong Ziyu was calm and composed when facing problems, and acted decisively and efficiently.

From the moment Jin Fan and Yun Weishan stood before him until Yun Weishan was thrown into the dungeon, the entire process took only the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Yet, he was able to quickly discern that Yun Weishan was lying, and using the available information, he followed the clues to uncover Shangguan Qian. Finally, without changing his expression, he sent the two directly to the dungeon for rigorous interrogation.

He then sent men to surround the women's quarters and said menacing words like, "If anyone resists, kill them on the spot."

Upon realizing that the pharmacy manager was acting strangely, he did not hesitate to order a search of the entire palace.

The immense aura emanating from him almost seemed to penetrate the screen and engulf everyone present, while the unwavering confidence in his words conveyed his profound self-assurance of his abilities.

Because he was confident that he would not make a mistake, he was able to issue orders decisively even without empirical evidence, or even when he was still in the stage of doubt.

How could a person undergo such a dramatic change in just one day?

Could it be that Gong Ziyu has been hiding his true abilities all along?

Looking up at Gong Ziyu on the screen again, it was clear that the next day, after only reviewing a few files left behind by Gong Hongyu, he was able to handle all matters, big and small, inside and outside the palace in an orderly manner. This calm and composed demeanor further confirmed everyone's suspicions.

Now that things have come to this point, if the younger generation like Gong Zishang, Gong Shangjiao, and Gong Yuanzheng only suspect that Gong Ziyu is hiding his true abilities, then the three elders are basically certain.

Gong Ziyu was hiding his talents, so how could his biological father, Gong Hongyu, not know?

Because he understood his son's true abilities, Gong Hongyu demoted the Red Jade Guard Jin Fan to the Green Jade Guard, making him protect his son.

In order to live a free and easy life, and also to avoid hurting his brotherly relationship with his elder brother, Gong Ziyu deliberately acted as if he was not serious about his work and was not capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities.

It wasn't until his father and brother suddenly died that he was appointed as the Blade Master in a time of crisis, and only then did he begin to reveal his true abilities.

Hiss!

Upon realizing this, the three elders couldn't help but gasp, and their gazes towards Gong Hongyu instantly changed.

OK!

Gong Hongyu, you old bastard!

I never expected that the three of us would treat you like a close friend, while you would treat us like an old idiot!

Gong Ziyu was so smart and clever when she was young, how come she turned out to be such a mess when she grew up?

So you two were working together to put on a show for us!

Gong Hongyu: ...

He's really suffering in silence!

(Is this what a movie-watching style is supposed to be like? Why does mine feel more like a side story?)
