At this point, Gu Zhao revealed his true purpose.

She made a gesture that valued both friendship and the overall situation, shocking Zhong Yunhai with historical facts and impressing Zhong Yunhai with her quiet loyalty. Her purpose was to get the opportunity to meet Yun Conghengxian through Zhong Yunhai.

.

Of course, what Zhong Yunhai did could not be hidden from Zhong Kewei.

But Gu Zhao felt that if Zhong Kewei knew that she wanted to see Yun Congheng one after another, he would most likely not stop her. Instead, he would pretend not to know and let people open the door for Zhong Yunhai so that she and Yun Congheng could go smoothly first.

meet.

Yun Congheng was first the captain of the City Guards, and he and Gu Zhao could be considered colleagues in the past.

He had caught too many spies and was very familiar with the procedures of interrogation and torture. It was easy for Zhong Kewei to lock him up, but it was difficult for him to get what he wanted from him.

Gu Zhao's departure was like a pebble thrown into a calm pool, stirring up waves, giving Zhong Kewei the opportunity to understand the depth and depth of the pool.

Zhong Yunhai was still a little hesitant after hearing Gu Zhao's request, but he quickly nodded gently to Gu Zhao, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely find a way!"

Seeing Zhong Yunhai surrounded by guards, Gu Zhao looked like he had decided to speak out after thinking for a long time, and said to Zhong Yunhai, "Yunhai, the person who spread the news about Ling'er's fever to you, you

You should think carefully about whether you should reward or punish."

Zhong Yunhai was startled for a moment and showed a thoughtful expression; while the guard leader glanced at Gu Zhao in slight surprise and immediately acted as if nothing had happened.

Gu Zhao said this just to let them tell Zhong Kewei about their performance and dispel Zhong Kewei's suspicion of him.

Of course she could make a clean break with the Yun Cong family, but Gu Zhao felt that the effect would not be good.

Since Zhong Kewei didn't imprison her, he obviously didn't have anything to arrest her; then this suspicion was just because of her close relationship with Yun Conghengxian, and he was worried that she would stand on the Yun Cong family's side

Enemy with Zhong Kewei.

As long as Gu Zhao shows great importance to friendship but pays more attention to Dahao's national interests, and strives to maintain a balanced posture between the two, Zhong Kewei will not take any drastic action against her.

And her subsequent contacts with various members of the Yun Cong family can be logically considered by Zhong Kewei to find out the truth; Gu Zhaocai was able to carry out actions to sow discord under this cover-up.

After parting ways with Zhong Yunhai, Gu Zhao found an excuse to leave Zhongshuai's mansion, hired a carriage on the street, and rushed to Yun Cong's house.

On the way, when passing by a drug store, she went in and grabbed some medicine to treat high fever and cold, holding it in her hand without any intention of covering it up.

Outside the huge mansion of Yun Cong's family, there were elite soldiers everywhere, and there was no chance of contact with the outside world.

Their aura was completely different from that of the city guards. Although they were not tall, their eyes were very fierce. If Gu Zhao hadn't been wearing the clothes of Donghao nobles, he would have been arrested by them before he could reach them.

Under their fierce gazes, Gu Zhao walked forward calmly, walked closer, and introduced himself, "I am a descendant of the Golden Wolf noble family, Helu Guang, and the chief secretary of the Zhongshuai Mansion."

The official position of the Registrar of Commander-in-Chief Zhong and the background of the Golden Wolf nobles caused the expressions of the gatekeepers to change immediately, and their attitudes softened a lot.

"You want to see Mr. Yun Cong?" The soldier leader was a little embarrassed, "Well, I'm very sorry, we can't disobey Commander Zhong's order. Please forgive me."

Gu Zhao sighed and looked a little displeased, "Since Commander Zhong has given the order, I will not see Mr. Yun Cong. Please let me in to see my students."

"She is suffering from a high fever now, which is very dangerous." Gu Zhao raised the medicine bag in his hand, "She must take the medicine immediately."

The leader of the soldiers still wanted to stop him, but Gu Zhao lost his temper and said, "How bold. Tell me, what is Commander Zhong's order?"

The soldier leader thought for a while, "Zhongshuai ordered that Yun Cong's house be cordoned off and no one is allowed to go out."

Gu Zhao sneered, "Look, Zhongshuai just said that people from the Yun Cong family are not allowed to go out, but he didn't say that others are not allowed to enter the Yun Cong family, right?"

"Besides, do you know what Zhong Shuai's order is for? Maybe Zhong Shuai and Lord Yun Cong have some misunderstanding, maybe Zhong Shuai just wants to protect Lord Yun Cong!"

"Maybe in two days, Commander Zhong and Mr. Yun Cong will resolve their misunderstanding, but you will kill Mr. Yun Cong's granddaughter because of your private decision. By then, will you be able to withstand Mr. Yun Cong's anger?"

"You know, this is the daughter of City Guardsman Heng Xianjun! Her life is very noble, can you afford to pay for it?" Gu Zhao looked at them sideways, "Things between aristocratic families, your kind

What do civilians know and dare to make their own decisions here?"

The soldier leader was so hesitant by Gu Zhao's words that he had to send someone to ask his superiors for advice.

After a while, a general Dong Hao wearing armor rushed over, looked Gu Zhao up and down, and then asked a group of soldiers to follow Gu Zhao into the Yuncong family's residence.

Gu Zhao has been to Yun Cong's house countless times before, but never has Yun Cong's house been so depressed and gloomy.

Most of the servants of Yun Cong's family were from Bei'an. In the chaos last night, Yun Cong Jiyu ordered them all to be driven out, for fear that they would cooperate with the Bei'an people outside.

In the huge courtyard, all the remaining people were Donghao people.

The guards were confiscated by soldiers sent by Zhong Kewei and were put under guard; the servants everywhere were also imprisoned in a centralized manner and were not allowed to move around at will.

As for the masters, they were gathered in a courtyard and were not allowed to bring anything with them. They lived in a miserable state.

Although the soldiers didn't say it clearly, Gu Zhao walked all the way and looked at the deserted courtyard and the soldiers outside certain courtyards, and basically guessed what they were doing.

The soldiers took Gu Zhao to the entrance of an inconspicuous courtyard and said a few words to the soldiers guarding the door. Gu Zhao was led into the courtyard by two soldiers with the medicine bag in his hand.

Hearing the noise outside, a middle-aged woman hurriedly ran out of the room, "Sir, sir, my lady has been burning all night..."

When she saw Gu Zhao, she was immediately overjoyed, especially when she saw the thing in Gu Zhao's hand, her voice trembled a little, "Master He! You are here? Are you taking this medicine? How do you know that the lady has a fever?"

"

Gu Zhao recognized her as Yun Congling'er's wet nurse. From the look of her, Yun Congling'er was really seriously ill.

She nodded to the wet nurse and handed the medicine bag in her hand to the wet nurse. "I heard that Ling'er had a fever, so I went to grab the medicine. Please hurry up and boil the medicine for her."

The door of the main room was closed tightly, and a group of soldiers stood outside the door, guarding it tightly.
