Chapter 658

Emperor Zhao was thoughtful, and tapped his finger on the table, "Do you know Zeng Tianyou?"

Zhou Zhi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect it to be this question, and he just said truthfully, "Of course I know Master Zeng's name."

"That's not what I said."

Emperor Zhao shook his head, trying to think about something, "I've been looking for him to discuss political affairs recently, and the more I look at him, the more I feel that he looks familiar, as if I've seen him before."

But if you say where you saw it, you really can't remember it.

He also sent people to investigate Zeng Tianyou's life experience, and the news he got was that he was born in a small mountain village, his father had passed away, and there was only an old mother left in the family.

It doesn't look like there is any problem.

But this sense of familiarity is always lingering.

Zhou Zhi was silent for a while, but he still told about the fact that Zeng Tianyou came to him on his own initiative and told him to be careful about Wu Yongda.

"He actually reminded you like that?"

Logically speaking, Zeng Tianyou has already joined Wu Yongda's sect, so he should be with him, but...

Emperor Zhao narrowed his eyes, and suddenly asked, "So, he knows your identity?"

"Probably."

"Strange," Emperor Zhao murmured to himself, "Could it be that he is also an insider?"

Those who were involved in the case of Duan's family were more or less convicted, or they were with the perpetrators.

Where did Zeng Tianyou come from?

There was a moment of tranquility in the imperial study room, the incense curled up, moving with the breeze, blowing into Zhou Zhi's nose, like the faint fragrance of lotus on a summer night.

"emperor."

Zhou Zhi spoke suddenly, with a slightly dignified expression, "I remembered something."

"Say."

Zhou Zhi: "My father once had a lieutenant named Guo Kang. When the commander returned to the court that day, he was the first to attack and presented the first criminal evidence."

As a lieutenant general, he has a close relationship with Duan Rongyu, who is the coach, and they often discuss wars together.

He knows best what Duan Rongyu has done.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the piles of piles submitted by him are highly credible.

Since then, people have continued to write letters, and in just a few days, the Duan family has changed from a loyal minister to a criminal.

Within two months, Guo Kang resigned and prepared to return to his hometown. He had packed all his belongings and set off at dawn.

Unexpectedly, that night, Guo Kang was bitten to death by a poisonous snake in his sleep and died.

At that time, it was summer night and the season of lotus fragrance.

Emperor Zhao stroked his eyebrows for a moment, and Guo Kang's face flashed in his mind, which was to % similar to Zeng Tianyou's, "When you say that, I remember, does he have a son?"

"Yes, about my age."

Zeng Tianyou's reported age was two years older than Zhou Zhi's, but Guo Kang's son was the same age as him.

But age is something, as long as there are no major problems, it is not too outrageous, and no one has ever paid attention to it.

"That's right," Emperor Zhao sorted out some context after listening, "I remember that his wife and children still chose to return home with his ashes after the funeral, and there has been no news since then."

It is impossible to bypass the lieutenant general Guo Kang when investigating the affairs of Duan's family, but after finding out that his wife and children were killed by bandits during the process of returning home, the clues were cut off.

Now it seems that the matter of bandits was not that simple.

If Zeng Tianyou is Guo Kang's son, then it is not difficult to understand that he recognized Zhou Zhi and tried every means to get close to Wu Yongda.

Zhou Zhi's brows were already furrowed, and he was able to get a little bit of context in his mind, "Thank you for reminding me, Your Majesty, I will discuss this matter with Your Highness again."
