Gu Zhao's pupils shrank, and his fingers subconsciously pressed on the handle of the knife at his waist.

When Qin Xinglie saw her reaction, he moved his steps and blocked her behind him.

However, Zhang Xinkun seemed not to notice their movements at all. He just lowered his head and waited for Dian Fengnian's answer.

Dian Fengnian's expression has changed.

When talking to Gu Zhao and Qin Xinglie, he was like an elder from a relative's family, with a kind face, a smile in his tone, and a bit of ridicule in his words.

But now, facing Zhang Xinkun, Dian Fengnian's face turned serious, and his eyebrows were full of dignity.

He did not immediately answer Zhang Xinkun's words. Instead, he put his hands behind his back, took a few steps, sat down on the Arhat chair by the window, and then asked calmly, "What are you guilty of?"

Zhang Xinkun lowered his head and spoke in a tight voice, "My subordinates released the suspect in the dungeon without authorization, so that he colluded with others in Changyang Garden and framed Mr. Gu, which almost caused a tragedy."

"This subordinate's sin is unforgivable, please punish me."

Gu Zhao stared at Zhang Xinkun's back, his eyes full of thoughts.

She and Zhang Xinkun are not particularly close, but they have had many interactions with each other.

In my impression, this middle-aged man doesn't talk much, but he has a gentle personality and a sense of justice. He doesn't look like the kind of traitor who only seeks profit and betrays the Control Bureau.

Dian Fengnian said "Uh" "Releasing a criminal privately almost led to a big mistake. According to the rules of our Control Bureau, how should we deal with it?"

Zhang Xinkun replied without any hesitation, "At the least, you can lead an army with a hundred sticks, and at the worst, you can be executed."

Dian Fengnian snorted coldly, not hiding his dissatisfaction at all. "Since you know the rules, why do you knowingly break them?"

Zhang Xinkun lowered his head and said nothing.

"You are also an old man who controls Hesi. Before you are punished for this kind of thing, you must explain the reason clearly. Otherwise, no one can judge whether you have been bribed by those spies."

"Tell me. Who asked you to do this?"

Zhang Xinkun was silent for a while and said, "Sir, these are all your own choices."

Dian Fengnian slapped his hand on the table next to him, "Do you want me to have someone torture you?"

Gu Zhao said, "Sir, there is no need to impose punishment."

Dian Fengnian glanced at Gu Zhao and suddenly laughed, "That's right. Zhang Xinkun, you have seen Gu Zhao's ability. Do you have to ask her to interrogate you before you will say anything?"

Dian Fengnian was about to say something else, but Qin Xinglie stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Xinkun's arm with his big hand, and threw him to the ground with a bang.

Qin Xinglie used skillful energy. This force poured into Zhang Xinkun's body with his movements, causing all Zhang Xinkun's limbs and joints to fall apart, and the dagger in his hand immediately fell to the ground.

Zhang Xinkun finally showed his anxiety and shame, "Sir, I am ashamed of your cultivation and trust, I am ashamed of Master Gu, and I am ashamed of Kong Hesi, so let me die!"

"With my blood and life, I will wipe out the shame I brought to the Control Division!"

He lay on the ground, trying hard to reach the dagger beside him, but he couldn't control his limbs at all.

Dian Fengnian was so angry that he stood up and kicked him, "You coward! Don't you dare to tell who harmed you? I don't believe that you intentionally betrayed the Controller! Tell me what happened!"

Zhang Xinkun gave up his efforts, looked at Qin Xinglie with shocked eyes, and closed his eyes.

Gu Zhao knelt down and held his wrist, "Mr. Zhang, we can be considered colleagues at least. You should know what Lin Xuerong did to Shen Wei and the others, and what he tried to do to me. I She is in a dungeon and has done nothing wrong."

"Why did you let her go secretly?"

Zhang Xinkun sighed and said nothing.

How should I tell Gu Zhao? I thought she was dead at the time, so after my friend spoke, I felt that I could give him some face... How should I tell Gu Zhao!

A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Zhao's mouth: "Master Zhang has always been a loyal person. This time he violated the rules and released the suspect privately. I'm afraid it was some good friend who invited me to you."

"But, Mr. Zhang, have you ever thought about why he didn't come to you for so many years, but only a few days after I sent Zhong Kewei's head and handsome seal back to Konghe Division, he did I came to you for help, please let Lin Xuerong go?"

"What?" Zhang Xinkun was shocked and opened his eyes suddenly.

From Zhao Zhao's point of view, the time chosen by his friend was too much of a coincidence.

Zhang Xinkun is also an experienced old man, and he quickly figured out the key. "Master Gu, you are saying that after you sent Zhong Kewei's head and commander's seal back to Konghe Division, you were still alive and successfully captured The news about Xia Douchuan Pass has been known by some people. They want to deal with you, but they know too little about you, so they want to get Lin Xuerong and learn more about your personality from Lin Xuerong, so as to formulate a plan to specifically target you. A means of revenge!"

Having said this, Zhang Xinkun's face turned pale and he wished he could slap himself to death.

Unexpectedly, after hunting geese all my life, this time I would be pecked in the eye by a goose!

Lang Ting, Lang Ting, I treat you as a friend in vain, but you colluded with the Donghao people to plot against me!

It's actually Lang Ting!

Gu Zhao's expression changed slightly.

She still has a very deep memory of Lang Ting. In her previous life, Lang Ting was covered in armor and died in the palace in order to protect Yuan Zhimei;

In this life, Lang Ting opened the Yuxian Tower to collect all kinds of information for Yuan Zhimei. However, because of the case of the prince vomiting blood that happened at the Yuxian Tower during the Lantern Festival, he was caught and tortured by the prosecutor's office, but he refused. Tell any news.

It was Gu Zhao who grasped his loyalty to Bei'an and broke through his defense, and finally got the information he wanted to know from him.
