Chapter 253 (2/2)

”Zheng Zhongguang is now running away from crime. You must know this.” Xiao Zimu suddenly asked.

”I've heard a little about him, but Lord Zheng really didn't come to him.” Pu Youren thought Xiao Zimu had misunderstood him for hiding Zheng Zhongguang, so he hurried to explain.

”Oh? What if he comes to you?” Xiao Zimu asked with great interest.

”It's natural to persuade Lord Zheng to go back and admit his mistake to his highness.” Pu Youren opened his mouth and returned without hesitation.

”The grace of support is nothing more than that for you.” Pu Youren, as Xiao Zimu said, looked rather embarrassed.

For a moment, he didn't know what Xiao Zimu meant. Did he accuse him of being unwilling to help Zheng Zhongguang who was facing difficulties.

”Your Highness will deal with it impartially. If you really escape like this, you can't really save it.” Pu Youren was silent for a moment this time and began to speak hard.

”I just want to ask you tonight, do you know the price of rice in ancient Anhui?” Xiao Zimu put down the tea lamp and asked seriously.

Pu Youren is in a dilemma. He doesn't know whether to answer truthfully or deny it.

”This matter involves the life and death of Zheng Zhongguang. You need to think clearly before you answer.” Xiao Zimu took back his eyes from him, as if to give him time to think carefully.

Pu Youren is even more difficult when he hears the speech. He doesn't know how to choose.

After a long time, he finally made up his mind and said to Xiao Zimu, ”I know.”

”Get up and talk.” Xiao Zimu said in a warm voice.

Pu Youren didn't insist this time and got up trembling.

He knew in his heart that Xiao Zimu had passed the pass, but it was unknown whether he could live after he said these words tonight.

”Are you from Prime Minister Du Cheng?” Xiao Zimu saw him get up and went straight to the point.

”No, I used to be the master of Wuzhou, and Prime Minister Du naturally despised it. Thanks to the help of Lord Zheng, I have now.” Pu Youren respectfully replied.

”In this way, Zheng Zhongguang really has the kindness to you. In that case, you know the grain price in ancient Anhui, why don't you remind him?” Xiao Zimu asked with a frown.

”Although I'm not from Prime Minister Du, I dare not offend the people above. When someone went to Beijing to complain about Gu Wan four years ago, I knew it. I also went to Gu Wan to investigate Lord Zheng's mouth and found that he didn't know anything about it. People under my hand don't dare to make decisions without permission. I also sent someone to check it, I know this is what Lord Xue means. Lord Xue is a disciple of prime minister Du Cheng. It is well known. Your highness, I dare not take care of this matter. ” Pu Youren's face was full of embarrassment, and there was a little guilty in the embarrassment.

Xiao Zimu felt thoughtful when he heard the speech. His eyes turned to the wing room on the right, which was the room where Su Qian'an sent Zheng Zhongguang in disguise to rest.

A moment later, he turned his head and looked at PU Youren: ”Zheng Zhongguang told me that if there are people in Wanzhou who can be trusted, probably only Pu Youren.”

Pu Youren's body stiffened when he heard the speech, and his eyes instantly turned red.

Xiao Zimu didn't deceive him. If Zheng Zhongguang hadn't told him this in Lu Zhongfu's courtyard, he wouldn't have spent so much time with PU Youren in Wuzhou.

”If I can protect you, will you testify for Lord Zheng?”
