Guo Ziyi's brain spun. Prince Heng? Wasn't that Li Heng? It was also the later Tang Suzong, the ruler who pacified the world during the An Lushan Rebellion.
At this moment, Guo Ziyi sincerely wanted to tell Taba Feng that all the suffering was worth it, Big Brother. You are the Crown Prince's man, and also the future Emperor's man!
But Guo Ziyi remembered that Li Heng's path to the throne had been fraught with hardships and twists and turns. His future was bright, but the road was truly winding.
Guo Ziyi was also very excited. He had become sworn brothers with the Crown Prince's men. After transmigrating, he had chosen the right side.
"Since Big Brother is the Crown Prince's subordinate, then Li Linfu must have eaten the guts of a leopard to dare make things difficult for you?”Guo Ziyi asked deliberately.
"Brother, you may not know this, but the Crown Prince has just been appointed and his position is not secure. Li Linfu was supporting the Acting King, Li Mao, so he naturally had to spare no effort to deal a blow to the Crown Prince and his people. For his own future, he would definitely do so.”Taba Feng replied.
Guo Ziyi nodded. He understood that the ancient court struggles were very fierce, and there were bloody massacres between relatives. There was only one word for it: power.
"By the way, brother, you've been away from Yanzhou for a long time. Why did you only reach Liangzhou now?”Taba Feng felt a little strange.
Shen Feng smiled embarrassedly and told Taba Feng everything that happened after he accidentally saved Zhongli Su.
After listening, Taba Feng smiled and said,""The eldest daughter of the Zhong family is at the prime of her life and is also from a wealthy family. I saw her today. She is indeed beautiful and moving. Brother, are you tempted?”
As expected of my big brother, you really understand me! Guo Ziyi nodded.
"A graceful lady is a good match for a gentleman. This was a good thing. Brother was now a dignified Rank Five Commandant Guo Yi, and was worthy of her.”
Guo Ziyi sighed." It's just that the eldest daughter of the Zhong family is arrogant and cold to me."”
"Brother stood up for the Zhong family today, so Miss Zhong will definitely be moved. Moreover, his brother was handsome, tall, and mighty. Now that he had an official position, the Miss of the Zhong family might be reserved. She might be interested in him, but she would not say anything.”Taba Feng said.
Guo Ziyi was delighted when she heard this,"I really hope it's as big brother said!"”
"If you need big brother's help, or if you need to propose a marriage, just say it!”Taba Feng laughed.
"Good things take time. Let this little brother take his time.”Guo Ziyi's heart was filled with flowers.
Seeing that it was getting late, Taba Feng left Guo Ziyi's room and let her rest.
Thinking of what Taba Feng had just said, Guo Ziyi was excited. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. However, after thinking about it carefully, now that Provincial Governor Yu had fallen, that bad boy, He Zhien, was still around. The things that had happened in the Zhong residence during this period of time were most likely caused by He Zhien. That kid was very insidious. Who knew what kind of underhanded tricks he would use behind Zhong Lisu's back in the future.
"I should teach that little bastard from the He family a lesson.”Guo Ziyi thought to himself.
The next day, Guo Ziyi got up early and went to the cell where Provincial Governor Yu was temporarily imprisoned.
Provincial Governor Yu sat in the corner of the cell like a defeated rooster, no longer as arrogant as before.
"Good morning, Lord Yu. Did you rest well last night?”Guo Ziyi asked with a smile.
"Why must Commandant Shen make fun of a sinner like me? "Commandant Shen might end up like me in the future…" Yu Tai said coldly without raising his head.
Guo Ziyi sighed and said politely,"Lord Yu is right. I shouldn't have hit him when he was down.”
"Are you interrogating me now? I won't say anything until I reach Chang 'an.”Yu Tai said slowly.
Guo Ziyi guessed that Lord Yu had some connections in Chang 'an, so she smiled coldly and said,""Interrogating Lord Yu is not my business, and I don't care. I came here today to ask Lord Yu some questions. It's best if you're willing to answer, but you don't have to answer if you're unwilling.”
"Tell me what you want to ask first."
"So many things have happened to the Zhong family during this period of time. Previously, the eldest daughter of the Zhong family was chased down on the way back to Liangzhou. Was it done by the He family?”Guo Ziyi asked.
Yu Tai smiled coldly." The commandant could have asked Young Master He directly about this matter. Why are you asking me?"”
Guo Ziyi smiled." I'll ask him now. Is He Zhien willing to tell me?" I already know about the relationship between Lord Yu and the He family. Otherwise, with your status as a provincial governor, why would you find trouble with a weak woman like the eldest daughter of the Zhong family? Now that Daren is willing to say that drawing a clear line with the He family is good for you.”
Yu Tai thought for a moment, looked up at Guo Ziyi and asked,"I'm already a sinner now. I have no future. What if I'm willing to say it? What if I'm unwilling to say it?”
Hearing this, Guo Ziyi smiled." Lord Yu is a smart person. I don't think I need to say anything more." As the saying goes, it's better to clean the table for a smart person than to carry the flag for a fool…"
Guo Ziyi was stunned for a moment. This was a modern saying. She wondered if Lord Yu understood it.
Unexpectedly, Yu Tai nodded and seemed to understand everything. The magical charm of the Chinese language lay in this. It could transcend the past and the present.
"Commandant Shen, please continue.”Yu Tai's eyes flashed.
Guo Ziyi secretly smiled and slowly said,"Lord Wang Zhongsi has ordered Lord Shen to be escorted to Chang 'an for interrogation. It was our people who escorted Lord Shen all the way to Chang 'an. If Lord Yu is willing to say it, we can let Lord Yu suffer less on the way and reach Chang' an safely. After arriving in Chang 'an, if Lord Yu still had any ability, he could use it again.”
Yu Tai's eyes flashed and he asked,"What if I don't want to tell you?"
Guo Ziyi sighed and continued,"The journey to Chang 'an is thousands of miles long and dangerous. I can't guarantee that you won't fall sick along the way. Would they be robbed by bandits? Would there be a landslide or a flood? Would they encounter any snakes, insects, or ferocious beasts? Would he get poisoned after eating some unclean food? Alas, I don't know if Lord Yu has issued an order to escort the prisoners to Chang 'an. How many of them have arrived alive?”
Guo Ziyi had used all the dirty tricks she had seen in the history books. Although his words were tactful, it was a blatant threat.
Guo Ziyi secretly laughed and reminded herself, In ancient times, don't be bad!
Yu Tai trembled and looked at Guo Ziyi coldly. He understood what Guo Ziyi meant.
If he didn't say it, he would probably not be able to reach Chang 'an alive. He would have died in an' accident 'on the way.
"It was the He family who sent people to assassinate the eldest daughter of the Zhong family on the road. They were also the ones who found the person. I didn't participate.”As expected, Yu Tai began to answer the questions.
The answer was as expected. Guo Ziyi nodded."Alright, I'll do it. Was it also the He family's idea to seize the Zhong family's goods and frame them for hiding firearms and evading taxes?”
