Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

After Guo Ye asked him to sit down, he told the story of the East Factory without any concealment.

Even the nonsense about why it was named Dongchang was told truthfully.

Gan Zhushou listened to Guo Ye's narration, his face was still calm, without any ups and downs, it was still the same gloomy face.

Sometimes Guo Ye wondered if this grandson was born with facial paralysis.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this guess was made, Gan Zhushou broke his suspicion and suddenly grinned:

"hey-hey……"

Numbness, Brother Guo almost peed in fright, this smile is so different, it is simply a different way of laughing.

The grin tugged at the stiff cheeks, which was uglier than the old widow crying on the grave.

Especially the laughter, gloomy and depressed, as if the old raven is singing alone at night, it is not ordinary scary.

Guo Ye has reason to believe that if Gan Zhushou is now covered in a black robe, covering his face, and holding a walking stick, he will become a longer and taller version of the Great Miaojiang Wizard.

Such a person, with such an image, is very suitable to be the spokesperson of the shadowy organization of Dongchang.

Guo Ye looked at Gan Zhushou with burning eyes, and said solemnly: "Old Gan, I intend to ask you to take charge of this East Factory, what do you want?"

Gan Zhushou was not flattered at all, and asked bluntly: "I think this Dongchang should not be as simple as you said, right? Is it really just spying on the enemy's intelligence?"

What?

Guo Ye was taken aback by Gan Zhushou's see-through tone. Could it be that this grandson also rushed here from the Ming Dynasty?

Of course, this matter is unreliable, and his intuition told Guo Ye that it must be Gan Zhushou's hidden background and extraordinary experience that saw through his real purpose of establishing the East Factory.

What is East Factory?

Now it seems that Guo Ye is only used to spy on military intelligence and all valuable intelligence agencies, but what about the future?

Perhaps it will also be integrated into a secret service agency and secret police department like the old Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty.

However, at least now is not the time. In his view, the current Dongchang can only serve all military operations.

Hearing Gan Zhushou's direct questioning, Guo Ye was neither angry nor questioned, but said in a tone like a confidant:

"Old Gan, you are a smart person. Brother, I have always believed that sticking to your duty and never stepping over the threshold is the way of life for you, Old Gan. Do you agree?"

Guo Ye also gave Gan Zhushou a direct blow.

Dealing with smart people, to put it bluntly, is a good thing.

Sure enough, Gan Zhushou nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, he said: "Dongchang, I can handle it for you, but why do you trust me so much? I intercepted and killed Zhang Xiaoqi before, and you have been ignoring it, and you have procrastinated until now; today you handed over such a confidential Dongchang... I am in charge, dare to ask Brother Guo, where does trust come from?"

Guo Ye smiled, with a look of wisdom in his hands, and said happily in his heart, I knew you would not be able to hold it back, so I asked me about this, my brother will wait for you to come to the door, and I will take the initiative to explain the origin.

Then he analyzed them one by one to Gan Zhushou: "First of all, you intercepted and killed Zhang Xiaoqi for our common interests. Zhang Xiaoqi deserves to die. Whether you kill him or Zhao Jiuchou, it's the same anyway. It doesn't affect the overall situation. I settled this matter, why should I question you?"

"Secondly, you and I have known each other since Weimo, and we have shared weal and woe together in the Longxi County Government. Along the way, have you ever done me a disservice? Have you ever plotted to harm me? No! If not, why should I be a petty boy?" People, do those mediocre things?"

"The last point, from the day when you ambushed Qin Wei and the water bandits in Dongliu Township, I have already seen that you are very skilled, but you are just hiding your clumsiness. Moreover, although you have a gloomy and reticent temperament, you are very good at heart. You are loyal, so you are not a person with a cold nature. But your behavior and your temper just make people feel that you are always rejecting people thousands of miles away, as cold as a rock. Why is this? Hehe , there is only one answer—”

Gan Zhushou listened carefully to Guo Ye's logical analysis. Although his face was still gloomy, his heart was slightly turbulent. He never thought that Guo Ye could observe such subtleties, and his accomplishments in pondering human nature were really extraordinary.

Can't help blurting out: "Why is that? What's the answer?"

Guo Ye caught a trace of anxiety and panic in Gan Zhushou's eyes.

Seeing this, the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly turned up, and he said proudly in his heart: "The answer is, Lao Gan, you are a person with a story!"

There are stories of people?

Gan Zhushou mumbled to himself several times, then grinned again and smiled.

But this time it is no longer that stiff and strange smile, but a wry smile, a bitter smile, as if at this moment, after waiting for a long time, holding back for a long time, silently wryly smiling, smiling, two tears dripping out of the corners of his eyes Cloudy tears.

Squatting down slowly, with his mouth wide open and a wry smile, tears came one after another, and he clenched his right fist and beat his chest fiercely.

However, no matter whether it was laughing or crying, or beating one's chest or stomping one's feet, there was no sound at all.

Guo Ye stood in front of him, as if he was watching a one-man pantomime.

However, he knew that this was the real Gan Zhushou.

People, closed for too long, pretended for too long, tired~~

suddenly,

From Gan Zhushou's throat came a few howls like wild beasts in the mountains, and he said dryly to himself:

"Stayed in the county government for four years, no one recognized who I was."

"In the hands of Pang Feihu for four years, he only knows that I am living in Longxi in a different place."

"I have worked with Fatty Zhu for four years. He only knows that I am a man of few words and should not be close to strangers."

"My colleagues all think that I am cold by nature and should not be friends with each other. Everyone sees me like a ghost, and is afraid to avoid it."

"Only—"

"Only you are the first one to see that I have a story."

"Haha, hahaha, in the end, you know me best!!!"

After shouting the last sentence, Gan Zhushou's chest seemed to shake like a volcanic eruption, one after another, panting fiercely.

After panting for a while, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Guo Ye's calm and confident face with red eyes like a wild beast escaped from a cage, and asked openly for the first time:

"Guo Ye, have you ever heard the word dark night?"

Brother Guo shook his head and said nothing, expressing his ignorance.

"Then would you like to hear my story?"

After all,

His cheeks were a little excited, and the tone of the question was full of pleading, which Guo Ye couldn't bear to refuse.

Chapter 261 History Is Such Gossip

Gan Zhushou is willing to confide in the past and reveal his identity. Guo Ye is asking for it, how could he refuse?
