Chapter 430 Nothing special happened

Gu Zhao waited for less than half an hour before someone delivered the food.

The food box has the seal of Zhongshuai Mansion.

This shows Zhong Kewei's determination to conduct a thorough internal investigation this time - the kitchen of Zhongshuai's Mansion usually only provides food for Zhong Kewei's family and his attendants, and does not provide food to other officials and soldiers.

This time we closed the door to screen for internal spies. In order to avoid asking people to deliver food from the outside and causing leaks of information, we let those specially hired chefs cook for so many people.

However, with so many people eating suddenly, it was normal for the kitchen to be overwhelmed. So when Gu Zhao opened the food box, he was not surprised to find that the food was already cold.

However, the three dishes and one soup placed in the food box are representative local dishes of Donghao.

The corners of Gu Zhao's mouth moved, which showed that her identity has not yet become a major target of suspicion. Otherwise, who would care about her taste?

Gu Zhao casually rewarded the guard who delivered the meal with a broken piece of silver. He knelt down and sat upright and began to eat.

Not long after finishing the meal, someone came and took Gu Zhao out.

The attitude of the two city guards was still very polite.

Gu Zhao sorted out his plans and words in his mind again, trying to figure out the different expressions and tones in different situations, trying to achieve his goals in the subsequent inquiries.

When he came to the room and saw Yun Conghengxian and Gong Xuyue in the room, Gu Zhao's eyes suddenly showed a hint of joy, and then he made a serious look.

"Jun." On this occasion, Yun Conghengxian also acted businesslike and asked with a straight face, "Now, I need to ask you some questions, and you must answer them truthfully."

"If there is any concealment or deception, once the investigation comes out, you will be regarded as Dahao's traitor. I hope you can take it seriously."

Gu Zhao looked around and found that there was no seat prepared for her in the room, so he could only say angrily, "Sir, please speak."

Yun Congheng said with a cold face, "Please describe all the places you visited, the people you met, and the things you did from the time you went to the Yamen at noon yesterday to the time you returned to Commander Zhong's Mansion this morning."

Gu Zhao was a little surprised and opened his mouth, but looking at Yun Conghengxian's expression, he did not ask any more questions, but made an expression of thinking and reminiscing.

"Yesterday at noon, after going to the Yamen, I left Zhongshuai's Mansion and went to have lunch."

While thinking about it, she told where she had eaten and what she had eaten, "Then she returned to Commander Zhong's Mansion..."

Gong Xuyue took a writing brush and wrote down quickly.

"Where's the time? Please be more detailed." Yun Congheng asked expressionlessly.

Gu Zhao frowned, but didn't feel dissatisfied at all. He made a rough estimate.

"Do you walk back and forth? Have you encountered any strange people or things?" Yun Congheng first asked in detail.

Gu Zhao thought for a while, "Yes, I have been walking. However, I haven't encountered anything special."

She passed Lin Junting in the corner of the woods, handed him a note, and asked him to do what was asked on the note. This kind of thing was not special at all, it was all common to her.

Yun Congheng said "hmm" first and then "continue."

"After returning to Commander Zhong's Mansion, I went to find Kang Jun."

"Because I plan to invite all Kang Jun's colleagues to have a drink together, get acquainted with everyone, and ask them to give me, the junior, more guidance."

"We decided that after going to the Yamen in the afternoon, we would first go to the Xuelin Restaurant to have a drink and dine, and then go to the Zhuyu Pavilion to listen to music..."

Yun Congheng nodded first and asked calmly, "Jun He, are you familiar with Xuelin Wine House and Zhuyu Tower?"

Gu Zhao shook his head with a natural expression, "I haven't been to Douchuan Pass for a long time, so I don't know much about these places."

"Then, who suggested going to Xuelin Wine House and Zhuyu Tower?"

Although Yun Conghengxian's tone and expression did not change much, Gu Zhao's intuition told her that the other party was very concerned about the answer to this question.

It seems that the methods she arranged have paid off.

Gu Zhao thought carefully before replying, "This was recommended by Kang Jun."

She nodded, "Kang Jun is very enthusiastic about the younger generation. As soon as I asked him for advice in the morning, he was very enthusiastic about helping me plan."

"Xuelin Wine House and Zhuyu Tower were both recommended to me by Mr. Kang."

Yun Conghengxian and Gong Xuyue looked at each other.

Gong Xuyue said, "Jun He, do you still remember what he said at that time?"

Gu Zhao showed a shocked look - the He Luguang she played was a smart and witty person, and the reactions of Yun Conghengxian and Gong Xuyue should have been enough to evoke He Luguang's thoughts.

Looking at the two serious-looking city guard captains in front of him, Gu Zhao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took a deep breath, and continued to recall,

"He said, 'The most authentic local dish in Douchuan Guanzhong is the Xuelin Restaurant in Lingbo Taichung.'"

Gu Zhao imitated Kang Yingjiang's expression and tone when he spoke - Kang Yingjiang's tone was very natural when he talked about "local cuisine", as if he was really a Donghao person.
