Chapter 7 Finding Clues
A gleam flashed in Chen Yiguan's eyes, and the corner of his mouth was twitched, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Guo gave birth to a good son, okay! I'll follow you, but if you can't find the real culprit of the evil book case in three days, don't blame me for being ruthless!" As he said that, he waved to the maid who was pinching his shoulders behind him and said: "You send Mr. Guo out!"
Guo Zhiyuan left with the maid. Qian Menggao, who had been standing next to him with his hands hanging down, immediately walked over and said to Chen Yiguan: "The son of Guo Zhengyu is not a thing in the pool, and he may become a big trouble in the future. Why didn't Chen Xiang get rid of him just now!..."
Chen Yiguan glanced at Qian Menggao and laughed and said, "Guo Zhengyu is a very lucky guy. He has such an experience at such a young age. And I see that this son's personality is completely different from Guo Zhengyu. Guo Zhengyu's personality is pedantic and ignorant, but he is so scheming when he has a son. It's really anomaly. You have to see clearly that someone is just by looking at his eyes. Guo Zhiyuan's eyes remind me of someone..."
"who?"
"When I was young, I could feel the ambition he buried deep in my heart. As long as he had ambition, he could use it for me, because in order to achieve his goals, everything could be sold, including his father!..." Chen Yiguan squinted his eyes and flickered constantly.
Speaking of this, Chen Yiguan suddenly changed his tone and said in a silence: "Of course, this boy is young after all, and it is too early to draw a conclusion at this time. That boy said one thing that is that we must find the real culprit of the evil book case, otherwise we will become more and more passive! The boy is full of confidence, let him try it out. If it can be done well, it means that this boy is indeed a useful talent and worthy of recruitment. If it is not done well, it will not be too late to attack his father and son!"
Guo Zhiyuan felt a little weak when he came out of Chen Yiguan's mansion. The Ming Dynasty chief minister is equivalent to the second-ranked leader of modern times. The pressure that naturally reveals in his every move is very terrifying. Although Guo Zhiyuan is full of confidence in front of Shen Yiguan, it is all his pretending to save his life.
In history, this demon book case was an absolute mystery. In the end, he caught a scapegoat and left nothing. Therefore, Guo Zhiyuan boasted in front of Shen Yiguan that he would solve the "demon book case" within three days, but he actually had no idea at all.
Guo Zhiyuan grabbed his hair hard, but after thinking about it, he decided to go to the prison chief Zhang Cheng first. Such a low-level official often has his own information channels, and perhaps it may not be possible to find some clues from him. After making up his mind, Guo Zhiyuan hired a carriage and rushed to the prison.
Before the carriage reached the prison gate, I happened to see Zhang Chengxing coming hurriedly. Guo Zhiyuan quickly lifted the curtain of the carriage and called Zhang Cheng. When Zhang Cheng saw Guo Zhiyuan, he was overjoyed and walked over quickly, lowered his voice and said, "Young Master Guo, the villain is about to look for you. The big thing is wrong. I received reliable news. The Jinyiwei arrested another doctor in the martial arts world and a monk. He is now torturing and forcing them to admit that Mr. Guo is the mastermind behind the "Demon Book Case"..."
Guo Zhiyuan felt a little sad when he heard this. In history, Chen Yiguan captured the famous monk Daguan (the famous Master Zibai) and the doctor Chen Lingyu tortured and forced them to frame Guo Zhengyu as the mastermind behind the "Demon Book Case". Thanks to both of them being loyal heroes, they would rather die than follow him. Daguan was tortured to death because of this, so that Chen Yiguan's conspiracy did not succeed. It seems that Chen Yiguan is indeed a cunning man. He agreed to it well, but secretly he is still composing Guo Zhengyu in a hurry. He must seize the time.
However, Zhang Cheng was so enthusiastic that he came to tell him the news. It seemed that he had a desire to defect to him, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's my fault that Brother Zhang, but I already know this news. Both of them are righteous men and will not betrayal..."
Zhang Cheng was secretly shocked. The news he had found was top secret. He worked hard to get a few jars of good wine and ten taels of silver from the familiar Jinyiwei. Mr. Guo had already known this. It seemed that he was very human. He was following the right person. He quickly said respectfully: "It is a blessing for a villain to do things for the young master. How dare he be called a laborious person? It's just that the villain is incompetent and failed to really help Mr. Guo..."
Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand quickly and said, "Brother Zhang, don't say that. I'm asking Brother Zhang for help when I have something to do. Brother Zhang is well-informed. I want to ask Brother Zhang to help me find out what strange things have happened in this capital recently?..."
When he gave Guo Zhiyuan this praise, Zhang Cheng felt that his bones were a little lighter, and he patted his chest and said, "Young Master, it's not a villain who boasted. If you talk about this little news, the villain is indeed a bit capable. You can follow me..."
Guo Zhiyuan was also very curious about the channels Zhang Cheng had to inquire about the rumors, so he paid to send the carriage away. He followed Zhang Cheng around and came to an alley. He saw several thief-headed and yelling in a ball of dice, and was shocked when he saw Zhang Cheng, so he ran away, not even picking up dice on the ground.
"Come back!" After hearing Zhang Cheng shouting majesticly, the idle men obediently turned back, nodded and bowed, "Master Zhang, why are you here?"
"Run, why don't you run?" Zhang Cheng snorted coldly.
The idle men became more and more frightened and said awkwardly: "Master Zhang, how dare we run? No matter how we run, we can't jump out of your palm. I was so anxious to pee just now..."
Guo Zhiyuan looked at him secretly and was funny. This was really something that was inferior to others. These idle men looked fierce, but when they saw Zhang Cheng, they looked like a mouse or a cat. Zhang Cheng was respectful in front of him, but in front of these idle men, they were very arrogant.
Zhang Cheng was so arrogant that he looked down on the people and said: "Let's spare you today. Go and ask what strange things have happened in the capital recently. I'll wait for your news in the teahouse in front. I'll give you an hour. If I can't get the news I want, I'll peel you carefully!..."
Those idle men were relieved when they heard that Zhang Cheng was just asking them to inquire about the news, and hurriedly said, "Master Zhang, don't worry, the news will be delivered in less than an hour..." After that, they scattered like a rabbit.
