Wei Rou was greedy for the warmth of his palm, and babbled.

She squinted like a docile kitten.

Seeing her like this, Gu Xi's eyes darkened slightly.

"What did he say?"

Wei Rou raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and lifted her eyelids to look at him, that tantalizing look seemed to tie Gu Xi's mind.

He swallowed hard.

Wei Rou laughed softly: "You heard it all, and you still ask me?"

Gu Xi coughed, pretending not to hear.

Wei Rou thought of what he had said before, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and told him her guess.

Even the second uncle, Wei Zhongliang, was not so sure that she was the daughter of Duke Wei's mansion, otherwise the evidence that Wei Ruyi presented at the beginning would have been perjured.

But He Zheng is so sure of her identity, could it be that he knows something about it?

When Wei Rou was young, He Zheng was a guest of the previous son of Duke Wei's mansion, and he would go through fire and water for the former son without hesitation.

It's just that after Wei Rou gradually grew up, He Zheng faded out of the capital.

Wei Rou didn't know about it before, but only today did she find out that he was an official in the south of the Yangtze River.

She married Zhao Yong early in the previous life, and she had no way of knowing the news, but this life is different.

What puzzled Wei Rou even more was why the gentle and refined He Zheng had become a Jiangnan prefect who wasted his life and used his power for personal gain?

After hearing her judgment, Gu Xi hugged her a little tighter.

"Perhaps 'possession and power peddling' is just what he wants others to see."

Wei Rou was taken aback.

She is not in the officialdom, the clues of which are naturally invisible, without Gu Xi's sharp and long-term vision, but after hearing what he said, I guessed a bit.

In a place as rich and prosperous as Jiangnan, perhaps such an action would be more prudent and safe.

Wei Rou didn't think about it any more, she just felt that Lingyue's matter was finally settled, and she shouldn't be able to cause any disturbances in the future.

The prefect's mansion at this time.

Several people knelt in front of He Zheng.

"I told you to stare at Duke Wei's mansion in the capital, is that how you stare?"

Those people trembled and couldn't stop begging for mercy.

He Zheng threw a teacup directly in front of them.

They closed their eyes, and the fragments of the teacup scratched their faces, leaving a few bloodstains.

"What did I say before? As long as there is any change in Wei Guogong's mansion, you will tell me, and the result? Where did you stare?"

"The eunuch forgives the crime!"

He Zheng snorted coldly: "Give me the truth, you're right, maybe I can let you go."

Hearing this, these people looked at each other a few times, and some of them hurriedly took a step forward.

"Report to the prefect, I was always watching, but I was imprisoned in the village in the suburbs a few years ago, if the prefect hadn't sent someone to come, I'm afraid I'll wait..."

"Snapped--"

He Zheng slapped him, the man lowered his head in astonishment, his body shaking like chaff.

"I made it clear just now, as long as any of you tell me the details of Wei Guogong's mansion, I will let you go. I don't want to hear an explanation."

"Or, do you really think I have a good temper? Do you think I will show mercy and let you go?"

"..."

Those people stared wide-eyed and kowtowed frantically.

"Excuse me, eunuch!"

He Zheng endured and endured, and when he heard their begging for mercy, he strode out of the hall and gave his entourage a wink.

After he left, those people were taken to a quiet place and executed quietly.

He Zheng stood in the courtyard, looking up at the night sky, with a deep tone.

"Find out exactly what happened in the past few years."

"Yes!"

A few black shadows disappeared.
