Shu Gao's words were like thunder, exploding in the room.
Everyone looked at him, especially Meng Yi, who had deep pride in his eyes and glanced at Zhang Han.
He involuntarily puffed up his chest, looked at Shugao, and asked, "Where have you seen it?"
Shu Gao looked at the painting in front of him, checked it carefully before saying: "When I was patrolling the west of the city with the Lieutenant Army, there was a boy who was in a panic. He ran out of nowhere and almost hit his subordinates, so the impression was quite different. profound."
"But his face was indeed too inconspicuous, and his subordinates didn't take it seriously. Seeing that he only had a sprained foot and posed no threat, they let him leave."
"Looking back now, when I met the lieutenant, his expression was very calm. He didn't look like a panicked person at all. This is very suspicious."
"West of the city?" Meng Yi accurately grasped the key point of Shu Gao's words. He has been tracking down Zhang Zifang's affairs in the past few days. If he remembers correctly, Zhang Zifang's wine shop is in the west of the city.
"Is there a wine shop over there?"
Hearing what he said, the other people also reacted, especially Gu Zongmin, who was moved in his heart. Could it be that the assassin is really related to Zhang Zifang?
What if Ran Fang finds out and suspects him?
He was the most nervous person now. He turned to look at Zhang Han and explained quickly: "I really don't know about this. The man came to me suddenly. I just investigated and found out that he is the owner of the wine shop. I will tell Mr. Ran directly."
"I didn't see at all that he would be harmful to the husband. If he knew that I would never bring the person to the husband!"
Zhang Han seemed calm and did not express his opinion directly, nor did he say whether he had doubts about Gu Zongmin.
He stroked his beard with his right index finger a few times and looked at Shugao, "Are you sure? It's in the west of the city?"
"In addition to what you just said, are there any other discoveries?"
"I believe that if you are able to work under General Meng, you must be outstanding. It is impossible that you will not discover anything."
"Think carefully, is there anything that has been overlooked?"
Being praised like this, Shugao's face was obviously happy, but when he received Meng Yi's murderous eyes, he suppressed his smile again.
However, he was seriously thinking about what happened that day?
Is there anything else he's missing?
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Zongmin, "I saw you that day!"
"Just when I met that person, I saw you coming out of a salt shop and you said hello to the boss politely."
"He seemed to have been looking at you. When your eyes suddenly turned around, the man bumped into me in a hurry. When I helped him up, his eyes were staring at you, and there was a deep look in his eyes. Deep hatred.”
"And that shop should not be far from the wine shop."
"At that time... there seemed to be a very handsome middle-aged man standing at the door of the wine shop. His eyes were also looking in your direction. As for the rest, I really can't remember anything else."
No one thought that this series of events would eventually come back to Gu Zongmin.
Everyone's eyes turned to him again, everyone stared at Gu Zongmin, as if waiting for an answer from him.
Gu Zongmin listened to Shu Gao's words. This time, there was no trace of panic on his face, nor was he angry because of Shu Gao's accusation. Instead, he was thinking carefully about what he said.
"how could be?"
"Have I seen it before?"
"Could it be that my Gu family robbed his business?"
But he wanted to break his head, but he didn't remember when he had seen this person before?
When did you become enemies with him?
In the end, Yangjie, who was still sitting there, couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but said: "This person's face seems to be easily forgotten. If he meets by chance, the head of the Gu family will not remember it at all."
"Why don't you think about it, has anything special happened recently?"
Gu Zongmin still shook his head and said with some embarrassment: "I come into contact with so many people and things every time that it's really hard to think of them. Why don't you go to the west of the city to investigate first? I'll think about it carefully. If I think of anything, I'll notify you immediately. Two adults."
Seeing that he really couldn't remember, Meng Yi was a little disappointed, and he was so angry that he wanted to arrest him and torture him severely.
However, when he caught Zhang Han's gaze, he suppressed the thought. He would not give Zhang Han any excuse to torture him in front of His Majesty.
"In that case, please think about it more, Master Gu. I will go to the west of the city to investigate first."
"However, I still have to say that it is best not to have anything to do with the head of the Gu family, otherwise it will be useless for anyone to plead for mercy!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left with his men.
Seeing this, Zhang Han also stood up from the couch, took a deep look at Gu Zongmin, nodded to him, and left without saying anything.
Gu Zongmin quickly stood up and bowed to send the two adults away. The expression on his face was very humble, but it was impossible to see his inner thoughts.
After they left, Yang Jie looked at Gu Zongmin and smiled, "Master Gu, you are really loyal."
After saying this, he left as if nothing happened.
In the end, Gu Zongmin was left sitting there, wondering what he was thinking.
…
The matter was not resolved and a bunch of other things were involved. Meng Yi felt like he had one head and two heads.
Several days have passed since he was ordered to arrest Zhang Liang, but he has not made any progress. This matter must be made known to His Majesty and His Majesty must make a decision.
He took the evidence he had investigated in the past few days, put it all together, wrote it on paper, and respectfully took these things into the palace.
When he was about to reach Zhangtai Palace, he unexpectedly met Zhao Gao, which surprised him.
Zhao Gao looked calm, as if he was sure that Meng Yi would enter the palace at this moment and made a special trip to wait for him here.
"Master Meng."
After all, Zhao Gao is also a popular person around His Majesty. Although Meng Yi looks down on him, he will not offend him easily.
Standing there, Meng Yi put the things in his hands behind his back and nodded slightly towards Zhao Gao to express hello.
"I have to go to see His Majesty. I can't greet my father-in-law anymore. I hope you will forgive me."
With that said, he was about to leave behind Zhao Gao.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao seemed to have no intention of letting Meng Yi go. He turned slightly to the side, but got closer to Meng Yi.
"Master Meng, don't be anxious."
"Your Majesty is currently dealing with the memorial. I'm afraid he doesn't have time to see Mr. Meng. How about we chat here for a few words?"
Meng Yi, who was a little anxious at first, felt a lot more at ease when he heard Zhao Gao's words. He wanted to see what kind of medicine Zhao Gao Huluhu was selling?
You know, although Zhao Gao was just a eunuch, he had a high say in front of His Majesty, and many people in the court fawned over him.
It is rare for Zhao Gao to personally stop someone from talking.
"I wonder what's going on, father-in-law?"
"Hahaha, nothing's wrong."
Although Zhao Gao had a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened, but if you look closely, his smile did not reach his eyes.
After laughing a few times, he put away the smile on his lips and took the initiative to say: "I heard that Lord Meng is very busy these days, and now he comes to see His Majesty in person to pay his respects. I really admire Lord Meng's loyalty."
"Your Majesty has been worried about too many things recently, and your health is not as good as before. I hope you will be careful when speaking, so as not to anger Your Majesty again."
