Gu Shenwei felt very nervous because he did not knohat Slave Qi would confess
Gu Shenwei already had an awful fright when Slave Qi glanced at hi Yard Most people ere older and -willed than Slave Qi would have made a full confession under various cruel tortures
At noon on the fourth day, the western door was eventually opened and a new overseer arrived
The first thing he did was open the eastern door and dispose of the two corpses
The corpses were rotten and infested with ers were cheerful when they carried theh they had been forgiven
After the teenagers cleaned up the roo would change Firewood Yard had reopened and the teenagers should continue to carry out their duties
But actually, everything had changed
The new overseer did not live in Firewood Yard He caht He would lock the yard door while he ay As a result, the teenagers led a er paid their respects to the Miss More guards were arranged around the water-carrying place in the fort All the empty barrels that were not used at the moment were moved away

Gu Shenwei did not tell the truth, but it was too hard for hiin as a servant of a businessrabbed andhis master on a trip
What Slave Yao said before his death was incoherent Therefore, Gu Shenwei had to polish what he had said once again It turned out to be so convincing that even he himself almost believed that he had experienced these events
The only problem was that his words could not withstand scrutiny because he looked quite different from the pointy-faced Slave Yao
However, no one would put in the effort to find the ion, as so far away fro Gu Shenwei’s statement Gu Shenas secretly worried about it before he confirmed that he had successfully deceived theround No one suspected that there was another accomplice There were some people anted to end the case as soon as possible in order to minimize the impact of the case
Gu Shenare of the contradiction between the two sides in the torture cha, was the chief in Heart Cleansing Yard, and he was also the Eighth Young Master Shangguan Nu’s uncle He represented his nephew’s interests and used his power to minimize the effect of the case
The thin and short Mister Guo cah he was not any Young Master’s relative, it was known that he was close to the Fifth Young Master Mister Guo was eager to hth Young Master’s power
Al Master was on bad terith each other and had passed their enuan Fa, did not want the case to get out of control, the Eighth Young Master, Shangguan Nu, had seely won this round It would be a major scandal if the news that a killer was assassinated by two teenagers in Golden Roc Fort were to spread outside the fort
