Keyboard Immortal Chapter 1013: Mysterious Disappearance

Not long after Zu An came out of the room, a figure standing in the distance turned around and walked towards him: "I have seen Mr. Zu, I am Gong Pan. Madam said you have something to ask me."

"Sir Gong is serious, I just want to ask some questions." Zaan carefully looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, his body was strong and his eyes were sharp. Moreover, he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks like the kind of mature and prudent person. There was a horned dragon-like scar from his chin to his neck, which added a bit of sturdiness to his whole body.

Because he took a second look, Gong Pan subconsciously touched the scar: "This was stabbed by a demon master back then. If it were half an inch away, I'm afraid my corpse would already be cold."

"Sorry." Zaun was a little apologetic, after all, the look in his eyes just now was a little rude.

"It's fine," Gong Pan smiled openly, "everyone who sees me for the first time will look here, this is not a shame for me, but a glorious mark, proving that I was a positive and The **** battle of the demon race left such an injury just now."

"General Gong can save his life under such an injury, and there will be blessings if he survives the disaster." Zaan also sighed that this sword was too dangerous.

"I don't care if I'm lucky or not, I just want the Duke of the county to be okay," Gong Pan's tone suddenly dropped, "Thanks to the Duke of Duke who pulled me to the side an inch, I was able to avoid this fatal incident. One blow, it's a pity that although I'm still alive now, the Duke's life and death are unknown."

Zu An was shocked and took the opportunity to ask, "What happened to your county prince?"

The relevant cases have been investigated by local officials before, and reports have been submitted to the imperial court. Unfortunately, many details are unclear, and there are contradictions in the logic before and after. Obviously, it is not as useful to ask these people who have experienced it personally.

Gong Pan hesitated, and after a while said, "Since Madam asked me to come, it proves that Master Zu is a trustworthy person, please come with me."

As he spoke, he led Zaan to an open yard, and no one else could be seen listening to him before he opened his mouth and said, "The whole matter of the Duke's disappearance is very bizarre. At that time, the Duke had been in seclusion, but When it came time to leave the seclusion, he never made a move, and everyone didn't take it seriously at first, after all, cultivators may not be able to leave the seclusion on time."

"But after ten days, there was still no movement in the place of retreat, so everyone tried to ask when the prince would come out, but no one knew at all."

"It was only then that everyone realized that the door was not locked, and the building was already empty."

"At first, everyone thought that the Duke went out of the customs earlier, and this kind of thing happened before. Who knows that after several months, the Duke has not come back, and the people in the mansion realized that something might have happened. ."

"We sent a lot of people to look for the place where the Duke may go, but unfortunately we have never found it. The entire Yunzhong County, and even the surrounding counties, although some people occasionally claim to have seen the Duke appear, but after our investigation, It's all **** to get bounties."

"It's been another half a year like this, and the Duke of the County still hasn't appeared. It's only now that everyone understands that something has probably happened to him."

He's clunking his knuckles at this point, obviously very emotional.

Zuan asked in a deep voice, "Who and when did you last see the Duke?"

Gong Pan thought for a while and replied: "In the end, there were a lot of people who saw the prince. At that time, the prince invited the second master to drink at the mansion. At that time, many maids and family servants served. I was also present and saw them all."

"You've been there all the time? And then saw him go into retreat after drinking?" Zaun thought it was odd that he would retreat after drinking.

"That's not true," Gong Pan replied. "We were all next to each other at first, but later, the Duke and Er Ye wanted to talk about some confidential matters, so he asked us to retreat to a distance outside. Although there was no I saw it with my own eyes, but through the shadow of the window, I could see the two of them intertwined, and there were conversations and laughter from time to time."

Zuan frowned. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, there would have been a lot of room for manipulation.

So many detective novels in previous lives often have similar murders.

"Could it be that something happened to the Duke at that time, and the voices you saw and heard were actually imitated by others?" Zaan asked.

"It's impossible!" Gong Pan denied directly, "We are all the people most trusted by the Duke. No one knows his body shape and voice better than us. If someone pretends to be, we will definitely be able to tell the difference."

Zuan frowned, feeling that his judgment was too arbitrary.

The body shape of the person across the window may be distorted, and there are so many strange people in the world, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no good ventriloquism.

The "One Thousand Faces" that he had obtained before, which described how to perfectly imitate the target's voice.

However, he thought about it, such a secret should be rare in the world. After all, when he was an embroidered messenger, he had never heard of anyone who could do this.

At this time, Gong Pan continued: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if that person is a fake, how could he do it? You must know that Duke Jun's cultivation is already the pinnacle of a grandmaster, and he is a top master in the world. Being able to impersonate him in such a short period of time, without being discovered by us outside?"

"What if Second Master Jian was there to help?" Zaan stared straight into the other's eyes.

Gong Pan's expression changed, but he still replied, "Impossible. Although Er Ye Jian's cultivation base is high, he is still a lot worse than the Duke. The Duke allows him to have no problem with one hand, not to mention. And we're out there."

Zuan fell into silence for a while. He could suspect that someone could use ventriloquist to impersonate, but Xiuwei was the real thing.

If Jian Yanyou is completely unprepared for his younger brother's sneak attack, it is possible to be plotted, but with his cultivation, it is impossible to be subdued silently, as long as the guards outside enter.

Have you guessed wrong from the start?

Zuan fell into silence and suddenly said, "How is the relationship between your wife and the county public?"

"Madam?" Gong Pan's expression suddenly changed, "You don't doubt Madam, do you?"

Zuan waved his hand: "I'm a friend of your wife, so how can I doubt her? I'm just curious, because I heard her mention it before and didn't live with the Duke?"

Gong Pan hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "Yes, the madam and the prince are indeed separated, but that is because the madam has to deal with various affairs of the Yu family, and the prince is responsible for the safety of Yunzhong County. To resist the invasion of the demon clan, the two sides gather less and leave more, and then they separate."

"But they have a good relationship and have always treated each other like guests."

"Respect each other like a guest." Zaan raised his eyebrows. This word can be understood from two perspectives. One is that the relationship between husband and wife is indeed very harmonious. light...

"There is a presumptuous question," Zaun looked at him curiously, "then why did you come to the Yu family? It stands to reason that you should be from the duke's palace."

Gong Ian's expression suddenly became a little down: "After the disappearance of the Duke, everyone was very united at first, but as we couldn't find his whereabouts, many things began to change."

"But this is normal. Many people have to support their families, and some people want to go to the future, so naturally they will find new backers."

Zuan tentatively said: "You mean the backer of the second master Jian?"

Gong Pan nodded: "Yes, he is the Duke's younger brother. He was originally the second-in-command of the Governor's Mansion. In the beginning, it may not have been to seek refuge with him, but when you do things with him, you will become his person without realizing it over time.”

"But I didn't pursue so much, and I've been waiting for the Duke to come back. It's a bit annoying to stay there now, so I came to the lady's side. After all, she is the wife of the Duke. I have the same idea. Some people came to Madam's side together."

Zuan nodded secretly, which is understandable. Others can take refuge in Jian Taiding, but Gong Pan, the former duke's captain and confidant, is destined to not be reused when he chooses Yu Yanluo. To be wise, at least to gain a reputation for loyalty.

"You don't seem to feel your hatred for Second Master Jian from your tone?" Zaan asked curiously.

Gong Pan looked towards the north and said calmly: "Unless the disappearance of the prince is related to the second master, why should I hate him? It is only natural for him to win over the prince's former department, even if it is me in his place. location, and most likely the same.”

"What's more, the Dudu's Mansion is related to the safety of Yunzhong County, and it has to resist the demon clan that has repeatedly committed crimes. After the disappearance of the Duke, a strong leader was needed to stabilize the situation, a person with ability and ambition. , is better than a mediocrity."

"The Gong General is really righteous, and his bearing is very high." Zu An was impressed, and then asked him some things about the Duke's Mansion, and the other party answered them one by one.

When he finally left, Zaan suddenly turned around, as if remembering something: "By the way, can you give me a list of the Duke's personal bodyguard class?"
