Zhang Shenzhi Has a Father?
"An exclusive agent in the Western Region?"
Gail Bakado whispered. She looked at the carriage that was leaving with a complicated feeling in her heart.
She had come to the Tang Empire with the intention of secretly learning the advanced technology of the Tang Empire. In the end, she had become…a worker.
Through Gu Hao's explanation, she knew what this 'exclusive agent in the Western Regions' meant.
This made it difficult for her to reject Gu Hao's request.
Most importantly, she felt that what Gu Hao requested was not difficult to accomplish.
"I can understand everyone praising the Great Tang Emperor, but why even Hou Junji? Wasn't it Hou Junji who captured him last night?”
Gail Bakaduo was puzzled.
In her opinion, it was normal to praise the Emperor. However, it was hard for her to understand why someone would praise someone who had just had a conflict.
She didn't think that Gu Hao was the kind of person who would repay evil with good.
"Forget it, let's do things first. He said three days, so we should know what he wants to do in three days.”
Gail Bagado thought silently.
………
In the carriage, Gu Hao lifted the curtains and looked at the street.
People came and went, and it was bustling.
He was in a daze, and the image of an old woman kneeling on the ground and shouting 'my son is wronged' appeared in his mind.
He felt pity for her.
Gu Hao didn't sympathize with Zhang Shenzhi, thinking that he had it coming.
However, Gu Hao had yet to meet Zhang Shenzhi's mother, Zhang Qianshi, but he already felt pity for her.
"How can there be unjust cases in the prosperous Great Tang?”
Gu Hao's lips curled into a cold smile.
Previously, the method he thought of to save himself was all centered around himself.
Killing Yang Zhengdao, making sharper and more durable weapons…
In his plan, he had to do all of this personally.
Last night, he had a long conversation with Zhang Shenzhi. He only felt pity for Zhang Qianshi and didn't think much about it.
Until…this morning when she came out of the prison and saw Zhang Shenzhi with her own eyes!
After leaving the Ministry of Justice's prison, he received news that Hou Junji had killed Zhao Yicheng to frame him.
All of this made Gu Hao…see the light.
To solve one's own crisis, one did not have to do it personally.
"The Tang Empire is prosperous and the politics are clear, but there are cases of confessions being forced out of torture and mothers crying out for injustice.”
Gu Hao's gaze was cold.
In a dead end outside the Changping Public House.
Three female servants were viciously beating up a peasant woman in ragged clothes.
After beating her for a while, the woman fainted. The female servant on the left said fiercely,"If you dare to come again, I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs.”
"This old woman really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. With Furen around, even if she really is Old Master's divorced wife, Furen will not let her see Old Master.”The female servant in the middle sneered.
"Alright, let's go back. She smells so bad. After we go back, I have to take a shower and change my clothes.”The maidservant on the right said with disdain.
“………”
Near noon, the ragged peasant woman woke up moaning in pain.
As soon as she woke up, a man's face suddenly appeared in front of her. She was so frightened that she trembled and shrank her head back.
"Your name is Zhang Qianshi?"
"…Yes." The woman said timidly.
"Zhang Shenzhi's mother?"
"Yes, my son's name is Zhang Shenzhi." The woman said nervously.
"Hu ~, hehehe, I'm really lucky. The person that the Crown Prince and General Qin were looking for, I found him. Two rewards, no matter what, should be at least a hundred strings.”
The farmer's wife, Zhang Qianshi, looked at the person in front of her in confusion.
The Crown Prince is looking for me?
Who was General Qin?
………
Gu Hao met Zhang Qianshi in front of the antique shop in the afternoon.
"Don't be afraid. I was with Zhang Shenzhi last night.”Gu Hao comforted Zhang Qianshi softly when he saw the fear on her face.
Hearing this, Zhang Qianshi's originally lifeless eyes immediately lit up. She hurriedly asked,"Have you seen my son?"
"Come in and talk." Gu Hao invited Zhang Qianshi into the antique shop.
Then, he instructed Gail, who had already returned. Bajiaduo boiled hot water for Madam Zhang Qian to bathe and bought two sets of new clothes to change into.
When Zhang Qianshi appeared next to Gu Hao again, she looked much more dignified than before.
His skin was dark, and his face was red and swollen…
It was obvious that he had suffered a lot after coming to Chang 'an.
"Zhang Shenzhi told me that you have a way to save him.”Gu Hao asked gently.
Zhang Qianshi quickly nodded and said,"That Zhang Liang is…is Shen Zhi's father."”
"Zhang Liang?" Gu Hao's eyelids twitched violently.
Zhang Liang, General of Youwei, Duke of Changping, an old minister of King Qin's Mansion.
If Zhang Shenzhi had such an awesome father, why would he owe me so much money?
"The Zhang Liang you mentioned…is the Duke of Changping, Zhang Liang?”Gu Hao asked hesitantly.
"Yes, yes, he is Shen Zhi's father.”Zhang Qianshi nodded repeatedly.
"This…why don't you tell me the specific situation?”
Gu Hao paused.
This situation was completely out of his expectations.
After that, Zhang Qianshi told Gu Hao about her experience and Zhang Shenzhi's background.
Gu Hao was speechless for a long time.
So…
Zhang Qian and Zhang Liang were from the same hometown. When she was fourteen, she married Zhang Liang, a farmer who had been farming for generations.
The Sui Dynasty was in chaos and the people were in dire straits.
Zhang Liang left home and participated in the Wagang Uprising at that time. He was under the command of Xu Maogong Li Ji.
Later, he joined the Great Tang and entered King Qin's Residence, slowly becoming one of Li Shimin's trusted generals.
After Zhang Liang gained power, he had once returned to his hometown.
Originally, he wanted to bring Zhang Qianshi and his son to Chang 'an to live a good life.
Who knew that on the way, he would meet a young lady surnamed Li and was momentarily fascinated by her.
After that, Zhang Liang returned to his hometown. When he saw his wife, Zhang Qianshi, he was extremely disappointed.
Zhang Qian was a farmer all day long. Her skin was dark and her knowledge was very shallow. Zhang Liang lived in his hometown for three days and became more and more dissatisfied.
Especially when that lady surnamed Li came looking for him, Zhang Liang couldn't stand the fact that his first wife was an 'ugly, dark, shallow' peasant woman.
Divorce his wife!
Under the circumstances that Zhang Qian Shi did not violate any female morals, Zhang Liang divorced his wife and married another lady surnamed Li.
Before he left, Zhang Liang left a sum of money for Zhang Qianshi and took his own son, Zhang Shenwei, with him.
At that time, Zhang Qianshi was very confused.
When she realized that she had been divorced, she was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to hang herself.
In the end, she was saved by her neighbor.
When the doctor was treating her, he discovered an unexpected situation.
She was pregnant.
For the sake of her child, Zhang Qianshi endured the shame and anger of being divorced and survived.
This child's name was Zhang Shenzhi.
It was Zhang Qianshi's only hope and thought.
"No wonder you said that you have a way to save Zhang Shenzhi.”
Gu Hao said softly.
He was a little hesitant.
If Zhang Shenzhi was Zhang Liang's son, with Zhang Liang's status, if he pleaded with Li Er, Li Er would definitely give him face.
If Zhang Shenzhi was saved like this, then his plan…
"Can you help me find Zhang Liang? They stopped me from seeing Zhang Liang.”Zhang Qianshi looked at Gu Hao with pleading and anticipation.
After a moment of silence, Gu Hao nodded." Alright, tomorrow then. I'll take you to General Zhang tomorrow."”
" Thank you, thank you, thank you Young Master…" Zhang Qianshi said incoherently.
The image of Zhang Shenzhi's incoherent speech from last night appeared in Gu Hao's mind, and he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Even without Zhang Shenzhi's unjust case, if Yang Zhengdao wants to live, he must have a scapegoat.”
Gu Hao thought to himself.
Although he thought so, he knew deep down.
Zhang Shenzhi was still the most suitable person to be a sucker.
However…
Looking at Zhang Qianshi in front of him, Gu Hao really couldn't bear to let her suffer more because of him.
"Forget it. Even if we can't kill Yang Zhengdao this time, we should at least make Hou Junji bleed.”
Gu Hao's heart turned cold.
If Zhang Liang showed up, Zhang Shenzhi could indeed live. However, Zhang Shenzhi's confession, which was forced into a confession under torture, must have been written in black and white.
If he could get his hands on this confession, Hou Junji would be disgusted for a while.
"I'll help you find a new son, and you'll give me a confession. It's not a loss, right?”
Gu Hao snorted.
He looked down on this General Zhang whom he had yet to meet.
If you like a lady from a noble family, just accept her. Why divorce her?
In this era, it was a great humiliation for a woman to be divorced.
It was almost evening.
Gu Hao arrived at Hongwen Hall.
"So quiet?"
After walking around Hongwen Hall for a while, Gu Hao raised his eyebrows.
He had never met a single person.
The entire Hongwen Hall seemed to be empty.
As he approached his office, Gu Hao saw someone.
Many people.
A group of eunuchs and a group of palace maids.
There was also an extremely luxurious carriage at the side.
The queen's phoenix carriage.
