Chapter 561 The True Messenger
Zhang Xinkun knelt down and recounted how he secretly transported Lin Xuerong out of the dungeon and handed her over to Lang Ting's people.
But Gu Zhao could hear his voice. In his heart, Lin Xuerong's crime did not warrant such a punishment.
It was just a competition between the little girls in the backyard for favor, but Gu Zhao imprisoned his opponent in the dungeon, which was suspected of taking advantage of his power.
The Duke of Li's palace is no longer here, and Lin Xuerong has fallen from the high and mighty quasi-princess into the dust. She is already very miserable, and she still has to endure such pain in the dungeon.
Thinking of his friendship with Lang Ting, Zhang Xinkun felt soft-hearted and secretly took Lin Xuerong out of the dungeon.
The expression on Dian Fengnian's face became colder and colder. Although Zhang Xinkun did not express his disdain for Gu Zhao, Dian Fengnian could feel it just from his choice of words and subtle expressions.
"It seems that in your heart, Lang Ting is one of your own, while Gu Zhao is an outsider." Dian Fengnian said lightly.
Zhang Xinkun heard the disappointment in Dian Fengnian's words and was startled. He quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "Sir, I already knew my mistake!"
Gu Zhao smiled and said, "Lang Ting, he is indeed a good man." Her eyes drifted from Qin Xinglie, and Qin Xinglie wanted to scratch his head.
"Tough-minded, loyal, affectionate, determined and will not change even if I die."
Zhang Xinkun raised his head and looked at Gu Zhao, with surprise and gratitude coexisting on his face.
He was so mean to Gu Zhao and brought so much trouble to Gu Zhao. Not only was Gu Zhao not angry, but he also spoke for him?
Gu Zhao then said, "But, do you know who he is?"
Zhang Xinkun's expression changed and he looked dejected, "Donghao people?"
Gu Zhao chuckled, "That's right, that's also wrong."
"I think it is unlikely that Lang Ting himself colluded with the Donghao people; but the master he is loyal to is unscrupulous."
Qin Xinglie's face became even more embarrassed.
Zhang Xinkun had read Lang Ting's interrogation records and knew that Lang Ting was in love with a certain concubine in the palace, and he opened the Yuxian Tower to collect and deliver news to this concubine.
In his eyes, these are just romantic sins. On the other hand, they are also a footnote to Lang Ting's emphasis on love and righteousness.
But Gu Zhao said that Lang Ting had a "loyal master"? This nature is completely different.
At this moment, while recalling some of the details of his usual interactions with Lang Ting, Zhang Xinkun suddenly realized that the reason why he had this misunderstanding was actually the result of Lang Ting's deliberate language to mislead...
"I really deserve to die!" Zhang Xinkun smiled bitterly. It turns out that this so-called friendship between close friends is just an illusion created by someone else's scheme!
He, Zhang Xinkun, had been in the He Control Division for decades and had made great achievements in investigating and interrogating cases. How could he be deceived into this by Lang Ting?
Zhang Xinkun, who was heartbroken, wanted to commit suicide again, but was stopped by Gu Zhao in time.
Zhang Xinkun felt the strength that seemed to be fixed by fine steel. He struggled with all his strength but could not shake it at all. He could hardly believe that this was Gu Zhao's hand.
"Master Zhang, if you die, won't it cause pain to your loved ones and happiness to your enemies?" Gu Zhao asked seriously, "Don't you want to catch up with Lang Ting and those behind you who deceived you and used you?"
Judging from the clues currently known, at least Yuan Zhimei has cooperated with the Liu family, and perhaps Donghao people are involved. This force is hidden in the dark and must be planning something big.
Zhang Xinkun's expression was very bitter, "How can the Control He Company tolerate a traitor like me? If I don't die, and there are people with similar behavior in the future, will I kill him or not?"
Gu Zhao was speechless for a moment.
Dian Fengnian tugged on the copper wire next to the seat, and soon someone came up and took Zhang Xinkun out.
He is about to enter the cell again, only this time, not as an interrogator, but as the interrogated.
There were only three people left in the room: Dian Fengnian, Gu Zhao and Qin Xinglie. Dian Fengnian's face looked a little heavy.
"Zhang Xinkun is also an old man from the Control He Division. He has been with me for nearly twenty years. He is usually down-to-earth and thoughtful. It is really unbelievable that he would make such a mistake this time."
Qin Xinglie's face looked uglier than Dian Fengnian's.
He took two steps in the room, like a furious tiger, his aura rising and falling.
Dian Fengnian and Gu Zhao both knew him well, but they just looked at him silently.
After a long time, Qin Xinglie hissed, "Lang Ting was originally on my must-kill list, but I searched all over the capital and couldn't find his whereabouts, so I let him live."
"Who would have thought that he would come back again and help Yuan Zhimei design Ah Zhao!"
Yes, there is no need for any evidence at all. Qin Xinglie has already confirmed in his heart that the real person responsible for this incident is Yuan Zhimei.
Lang Ting will only listen to Yuan Zhimei!
And Yuan Zhimei’s murderous intention towards Gu Zhao is even worse than before!
And how did Lang Ting receive Yuan Zhimei's instructions to get Lin Xuerong away from Zhang Xinkun? Obviously, his palace was not as airtight as he imagined.
Then think about it further, when Yuan Zhimei said that he was exchanging secrets for freedom, was he trying to paralyze him, encourage him, or both?
With so many problems, how can Qin Xinglie look good?
For a time, all the situations of those responsible for guarding Yuan Zhimei appeared in Qin Xinglie's mind.
These people were carefully selected by him and he believed that they would not betray him.
But the fact now is that someone must have betrayed him!
Dian Fengnian's expression was also a little solemn, "She is really good at it." She is also very persistent.
