Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Zhao Jiuchou comprehended, and after hearing what Guo Ye had said, he hurried out of the posthouse without finishing his meal, and left with the four Guanzhong swordsmen recruited at a high price.

Zhen Niang accompanied Guo Ye, and kept adding soup and rice for him.

Seeing Guo Ye and Zhao Jiuchou acting mysteriously, she muttered to herself. Although she was curious, she still kept her identity in mind and didn't ask.

Guo Ye took a mouthful of chicken breast and put it in his mouth, then motioned Zhenniang to sit down, and said, "Zhenniang, sit down and eat together."

Zhenniang gently shook her head from side to side, and said: "The slave's house is the housekeeper of Guo's mansion, and the old lady sent to serve the high officials. How can I sit down? The slave's house can just serve the high officials for dinner."

Guo Ye continued to wave his hand and said: "It's okay, there are no outsiders here, where did so many broken rules come from? Besides, why have I ever treated you as a servant?"

This time, Zhenniang was not as obedient and obedient as she imagined, but she stubbornly shook her head and replied: "The high officials are not only generous to the servants, but also have a heavy kindness. It can't be broken, and the slave's family can stand and serve the high officials."

Day~~Still stubborn!

Immediately, Guo Ye lowered his face, pretending to be very displeased and said: "I let you sit, but you just sit? Is it because I'm out of Longxi, and I can't speak well? Besides, we are in Fenglingdu. I have eaten at the same table, so what's the matter? Zhenniang, could it be that I really left the Guo Mansion in Longxi, so my words won't work?"

"what……"

When Zhenniang heard what Guo Ye said, she panicked immediately, and hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand the officials, I don't mean that. What I mean is..."

Guo Ye raised his hand to stop Zhenniang's explanation, and continued: "Sit down and eat, aren't you always curious about what I whispered to Zhao Jiuchou? You promise me to sit down and eat together, and I will slow down for you." Speak slowly."

Zhenniang hesitated for a moment, and finally, driven by curiosity, she walked to the edge of the table, pulled out a round stool, and sat down slowly.

After sitting down, he first took a small sip of a bowl of soup, and began to taste it while blowing on the hot air.

Seeing this, Guo Ye nodded quite satisfied, and picked up the chopsticks to pick up vegetables for Zhenniang, for fear that she would not dare to move the chopsticks because of her reserve, and she would starve to death.

Zhenniang refused again and again, shouting: "Enough, enough, the high officials are going to pinch again, and I promise the high officials to have a good meal."

Only then did Guo Ye take back his chopsticks, and while eating, he talked about what he had just said to Zhao Jiuchou.

Of course, it mainly introduces everything about Zhao Feixuan, such as how Zhao Feixuan became the governor of a state from a poor boy, Zhao Feixuan and his mother depended on each other when he was young, how poor he was, how Zhao Feixuan was filial to his mother, and finally imprisoned by Dai Mingde and Zhang Shiyuan Zhao's mother forced Zhao Feixuan to join forces with others, and even Fan Tanmo spoke out one by one.

Zhenniang put a mouthful of choy sum into her mouth from the beginning to the end, chewed and swallowed slowly, and when Guo Ye finished his long speech, Zhenniang was stunned that she hadn't finished eating the choy sum.

All her attention was focused on what Guo Ye said.

Finally, he murmured to himself: "Senior official, then, according to what you say, Governor Zhao is not only a filial son, but also a great official. Pity his seventy-year-old mother, who is left there. I don't know how many crimes I will suffer in the hands of two big corrupt officials!"

Guo Ye hummed, agreeing with Zhenniang's opinion.

Hearing Zhenniang's praise of Zhao Feixuan, Guo Ye had a sudden whim and asked: "Zhenniang, anyway, I'm fine after dinner, why don't you accompany me for a while, and visit this Governor Zhao?"

After Zhenniang heard about Zhao Feixuan's deeds, she naturally wanted to see the deity, a filial son and a corrupt official, and Zhenniang also wanted to see him.

Then he responded: "Okay, the servant girl will accompany the high official for a while."

Guo Ye smiled and pointed to the mountains of vegetables in Zhenniang's bowl, and said, "Then why don't you hurry up and finish the food? You must know that there are still victims of the disaster in Ruzhou who are starving. It is shameful to waste!"

After hearing this, Zhenniang nodded heavily and hummed, then lowered her head and picked up the food in the bowl.

Looking at this posture, my appetite is whetted.

After a while, Zhenniang followed Guo Ye out of the post house.

Guo Ye followed the route reported by Zhao Jiuchou and searched along the way. In addition, Ruzhou City was empty and unimpeded at this time, and the two arrived at Zhao Feixuan's mansion soon.

At this time, it was almost one more day, and the servants of the house closed the gate early, and there was no traffic at the gate as Guo Ye imagined, but silence.

Considering that Zhenniang is a womanizer, Guo Ye himself stepped forward and knocked on the gate of the house, duk duk duk duk~~

Yue Mo faintly heard a few replies from inside, and as he got closer, there was a sour sound from the door.

Squeak... Squeak...

The door was slowly pulled open from the inside. The person who opened the door, Guo Ye, seemed to be an aide brought by Zhao Feixuan from Anzhou.

At this time, this staff member is acting as the butler of Zhao Feixuan's temporary residence.

This house was allocated by Dai Mingde to Zhao Feixuan's temporary residence in Ruzhou, so Zhao Feixuan has never added any servants.

In the whole house, except for him, is the one who opened the door just now, and the staff who have been accompanying him all the time.

Naturally, this staff member also met Guo Ye at the dust-receiving banquet, and knew this imperial envoy and censor from Chang'an.

Knowing Guo Ye's identity, he naturally did not dare to neglect, and invited Guo Ye and Zhenniang into the courtyard.

After closing the gate, while leading the way, he shouted: "My lord, my lord, the Imperial Envoy Guo Yushi, I'm here to visit you!"

Under the guidance of this staff member, Guo Ye led Zhenniang to the living room of Zhao Feixuan's house.

After entering the living room, Zhao Feixuan had already made inquiries, and rushed to the living room from the study, one step ahead of Guo Ye.

Seeing Guo Ye entering, after the staff turned to leave, Zhao Feixuan's first words were not to say hello, nor to order the staff who played the role of housekeeper to serve tea, but said in a somewhat cold tone:

"Guo Yushi, it's getting dark, I don't know why you came to find me so late, what's your business?"

The coldness and impatience of his tone made him feel a little repulsive.

After hearing this, Zhenniang subconsciously hid behind Guo Ye.

Guo Yezong was very patient, and he seemed a little happy when he heard Zhao Feixuan's words, and he was paralyzed. Are you too proud?Dude is now the nemesis of all officials, the supervisory censor, you should respect it at least, don't you?

That being the case, Guo Ye was too lazy to play with him, and said straight to the point: "Inspector Zhao, I know that you are a good official who is willing to work for the well-being of the people, and I can guess that you must have something to hide. Tonight, since there are no outsiders in your house, why don't you and I have an open and honest talk?"

Hearing what Guo Ye said so directly, Zhao Feixuan's expression suddenly changed drastically, but it was only a matter of an instant, and within two breaths, he returned to his original state.

Then he chuckled a few times, and said disdainfully: "The governor doesn't know where Guo Yushi's words came from, and he doesn't know what Guo Yushi's words mean. I don't have any embarrassing things to say, and it's okay for me to ask myself." Stuff needs to be talked about openly and honestly with you."

Grandma, Guo Ye was very upset, what to pretend, it was obvious that he didn't trust his buddies.

Listening to Zhao Feixuan's non-salty speech and seeing Zhao Feixuan's indifferent expression, Guo Ye suddenly had a feeling of being dismissed as a donkey with good intentions.

Now that he opened the skylight to speak frankly, Guo Ye simply opened the skylight a little wider, stared into Zhao Feixuan's eyes, and said directly: "Master Zhao, you don't naively think that this censor is deliberately whitewashed by the governor of Ruzhou, Dai Mingde. Are you confused by the peaceful and prosperous times in the state? I want to persuade Governor Zhao to say that lies can never cover up the truth, how can paper cover fire?"

Bass~~

Zhao Feixuan stood up hastily, his face became more stern, as if strangers should not get close, he waved at Guo Ye and said: "Guo Yushi, I really don't know what you are talking about? It's too late, please go back. If You really want to know about the situation in Ruzhou, so please ask Sir Dai, the governor of Ruzhou!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Feixuan stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of invitation towards the door of the living room. As the name suggests, let's go, don't send it off!

Guo Ye naturally knew that Zhao Feixuan still couldn't trust him, so he was on his guard.

But now that Zhao Feixuan issued an order to evict guests, he didn't want to push too hard today, so he had to switch to the method of boiling frogs in warm water, and slowly pry open his vigilant defenses.

Immediately, he nodded slightly at Zhao Feixuan, and said sincerely: "Inspector Zhao, I know you are a good official, but please remember that there are no good officials in the world who are willing to plead for the lives of the people and seek their well-being. Only you, Governor Zhao, are alone. Guo is not talented, and he considers himself an official with conscience."
