The Kang family was once a wealthy family in the North, but when Dong Hao invaded forty years ago, they had already surrendered and worked hard to stabilize the local order for Dong Hao.

When Emperor Wu led his men to expel the Donghao invaders from the country, the Kang family was heavily indebted to blood and was attacked by local people, resulting in numerous casualties.

However, Kang Yingjiang happened to be out to deal with family affairs and was able to save his life.

Later, he was admitted as a Jinshi, and the family became prosperous again.

However, because he was involved in the struggle for the right of succession between several princes of Emperor Wu, the prince whom Kang Yingjiang took refuge in lost, and he was also implicated. Emperor Wu ordered him to be dismissed from office, stay at home, and would never be employed.

Kang Yingjiang, who was in his prime of life, was unwilling to be left alone. He simply stepped forward and defected to Dong Hao when Dong Hao was conducting a routine robbery.

In order to win the trust of the Donghao people, he cooperated with others and dedicated the city where his home was to the Donghao army. He used the lives of hundreds of thousands of fellow villagers as a token of surrender and obtained an official position in another country.

Kang Yingjiang was determined to be loyal to King Donghao. When he was young, he personally led people back to Yongzhou to lurk more than once to provide information for Donghao's army. He cooperated internally and externally, allowing small-scale sneak attack teams to break through cities one after another, plunder them, and then leave.

It can be said that Kang Yingjiang's trust in the hearts of Donghao's upper echelons was built up with the lives of his compatriots in Bei'an.

When Kang Yingjiang got older, his only son began to take over his role. However, his son was obviously not as lucky as him, and soon died during a mission at the hands of the Bei'an army.

Such a traitor whose hands were stained with the blood of the Bei'an people, such a traitor who wholeheartedly followed Dong Hao's father and became the enemy of his mother country, Gu Zhao had long wanted him to die!

The smiles and closeness when they met before were just to get more information so as to push Kang Yingjiang into hell.

Thinking of the scene where Kang Yingjiang was roughly tied up and taken away, Gu Zhao felt relieved. However, on the surface, she was still as confused as everyone else, "If it is true as Zhu Jun said, Kang Jun has been loyal to Da Hao for many years and has always been loyal.

If so, what reason would he have for betraying him?"

"Perhaps there is some misunderstanding?"

Those few people who came to Gu Zhao also wanted to inquire about news.

After all, the newly appointed chief registrar is of noble birth, and his relationship with Zhong Shuai seems to be unusual. Maybe he knows something?

Seeing that Gu Zhao was very tight-lipped, several people did not leave, but started chatting in Gu Zhao's room.

Anyway, since the boss was arrested, everyone is uneasy, and there is no urgent business to deal with, so it is better to share the information with each other.

"Kang Yingjiang is a long-time historian with an extraordinary status. If there is no evidence, I am afraid that he will not be kidnapped and taken away in such a public way." In just this moment, Sihu's name for Kang Yingjiang changed.

The respectful "Kang Jun" became a first name.

Gu Zhao's eyes flashed and he observed the reactions of the other three people from the corner of his eye.

No one expressed dissatisfaction with this change.

Although there are already many Beian people working for Donghaofang in Douchuan Pass, there are still very few Beian people in core areas like Zhongshuai Mansion.

Most people in Bei'an only do menial jobs in the government, and only Kang Yingjiang can become a high-level official.

For so many years, a Bei'an man has been pressing down on them, local officials from Donghao. Do they have any complaints?

Now, if Kang Yingjiang falls and the position of Chang Shi becomes vacant, how can they not be tempted?

The smile on Gu Zhao's lips was so faint that no one noticed it.

Not long after, the city guards arrived and invited Sihu and the other four people to talk together.

Gu Zhao could roughly guess what questions they would be asked - of course, whether they had noticed any suspicious behavior in the process of getting along with Kang Yingjiang.

When I went to the office in the afternoon, the news had already spread that Kang Yingjiang was a traitor! He passed the news to the Bei'an Control He Division, which led to the great success that the city guards had most likely to capture, slipping through their fingers.

.

Fall short!

All the officials of Zhongshuai's Mansion were gathered in the main courtyard and saw Zhong Kewei with a pale complexion.

This is very rare.

Because no matter what major events he encounters, Zhong Kewei always has a steady and calm attitude, as if nothing can trouble him. This is why when the Donghao army mentions Zhong Kewei, they call him "Commander Zhong"

"Like a mountain" reason.

But today Zhong Kewei was furious, his eyes were full of fierceness, he was staring straight at Kang Yingjiang who was tied up and kneeling in the middle of the yard, as if he was ready to bite off a bite of Kang Yingjiang's flesh.

A newcomer like Gu Zhao didn't understand, but other officials understood Zhong Kewei's reaction.

Because Zhong Kewei had always had great trust in Kang Yingjiang, almost the entire administrative affairs of Zhongshuai Mansion and the civil affairs officials of Douchuan Pass were handed over to Kang Yingjiang.

Even an envoy like Yuncong Jiyu must be polite to Kang Yingjiang, because Kang Yingjiang really has real power and trust.

But Kang Yingjiang betrayed him and Dong Hao. What is the difference between this and giving Zhong Kewei a slap in the face in public? If this kind of thing spreads, Zhong Kewei will become the laughing stock of many political opponents.

.

Can he not be angry? Can he not hate?

Gu Zhao turned his eyes to Kang Yingjiang.

When he was dragged away just now, Kang Yingjiang was still struggling and crying out for injustice, and his whole body was filled with shock and anger. But now, as if all his bones had been ripped out, he knelt crookedly on the ground, holding his hands on the ground, shaking non-stop.

.

If you look carefully, you can still see the saliva dripping from the corner of Kang Yingjiang's mouth to the ground.

Seeing his desperate look, Gu Zhao knew that all the methods prepared for him had worked.
Chapter completed!
