26 Confession
"Zuo Mu, what proof do you have to show that you were not present at the time and did not harm Jia Jin Sheng? If you can't prove it, you are the murderer!" Jia Fu pointed at Zuo Mu, his gaze furious as he threatened with his aura.
"He's trying to push our clan's Zuo Mu into being the scapegoat. How atrocious!" At this point, the clan elders had reacted and their expressions all turned unkind.
They had been fighting and scheming against each other for a long time, so if they thought about it, they would know easily about Jia Fu's standpoint and intentions.
Zuo Mu showed an expression of shock, as if he wanted to speak but couldn't.
"No need for others, just tell me if you do or not!" Jia Fu raised his voice again, forcing Zuo Mu.
Zuo Mu showed an indignant expression, but finally gritted his teeth and said helplessly with slight rage and embarrassment, "yes."
"Haha. Then you are-wait what?" Jia Fu was about to declare his verdict as he had thought there were no witnesses.
"What stop lying, you better speak the truth or else hmph," said Jia Fu as he began to exert pressure on the poor defenseless man.
Struggling to speak up he said "t-that night after the argument with Jia Jin Sheng I had a lot of pent up stress bottled up inside and no matter what I did I just couldn't help but be angry so I-I decided to got downtown a found a few Mortal girls and I approached the best looking one and I paid her 10 primeval stones before going back to her house, if you don't, believe me, you can go to her house and get her to be my witness and if that wasn't enough you can ask her to call the other girls present at that time as they all saw me and I doubt they would forget me as I-I was the only Gu master there" while lowering his head shamefully.
All the elders present including Gu Yue Bo and Jia Fu looked at him in disgust as to why a dignified Gu master would ever goto such shameful places and one meant for Mortals as well, such a disgrace to Gu masters.
However, the academy elder stepped forth and spoke "don't worry Zuo Mu with all you have provided we are sure to get you your innocence and won't suffer any injustice" with a deep voice.
Soon an elder sent some guards to get the people who were mentioned by Zuo, after entering they were scared witless but under the insurance of the clan head, they did their part and told the truth, proving Zuo Mu's innocence.
But Jia Fu with his gaze of spite there was also shock and panic
Jia Fu's expression was dim, he did not expect the academy elder to stand out and protect Zuo Mu.
The crucial point was, the Gu Yue clan leader did not object. This had a great meaning, for it meant the Gu Yue clan was going to protect Zuo Mu.
"I get it! I wanted to get Zuo Mu to become the scapegoat, but that was from my perspective, and I did not consider their perspective. Indeed, once Zuo Mu is criminalized, the Gu Yue clan has to bear the evil name of harming a Jia family member. From then on they will have to face the Jia family's retribution as well as losing their own reputation. Furthermore, future caravans would not dare to come here and trade anymore, the loss is too great!"Thinking of this, Jia Fu was anguished and wanted to slap his own head.
The Gu Yue higher-ups did have such considerations.
Zuo Mu was a rank 1 with no future, so if he really harmed Jia Jin Sheng, handing him over was nothing. But the point was, now that his suspicion had been cleared, if he was handed over, wouldn't the Gu Yue clan suffer a great injustice and lose out greatly?
Knowing that this conflict could not be resolved, Jia Fu gritted his teeth, determined to get his way. He said, "If so, why don't you let me use the Footprint Gu. Once this Gu is used, it will show us his last 30,000 footprints on the floor."The academy elder scoffed in displeasure.
Jia Fu's words meant he did not trust them. But he has no reason to stop him, thus he let Jia Fu through."Come and test!" Zuo Mu stared coldly at Jia Fu, walking towards him with his head lowered.
He was embarrassed, these few days he did not leave the village the village and only visited the downtown area and the wine shop with this he will become the shame of the entire village.
Under the Gu Yue higher-ups supervision, Jia Fu did not play any tricks.
The Footprint Gu was very peculiar, it was shaped like a person's foot. Its material was like a translucent yogurt, giving others a feeling of smoothness, and the surface had a yellow-green luster.
Its size was small, being only palm size. Jia Fu held it in his hands, sending primeval essence into the Footprint Gu. The Footprint Gu became brighter, and then suddenly with a "bam" sound, exploded into a cloud of yellow green powder.
The powdery cloud enveloped Zuo Mu and spun around him before flying out of the discussion hall. Where the powder cloud passed through, the floor would show a series of footprints. These footprints glowed in a yellow-green light around the same size as Zuo Mu's foot. They were Zuo Mu's footprints when he entered the discussion hall.
