Chapter one hundred and eighty second
Seeing Guo Zhiyuan getting up and walking into the back of the lobby, Zhang Cheng also quickly followed him quietly. Guo Zhiyuan heard footsteps coming from behind and knew that Zhang Cheng was following. He stopped and turned around and frowned and asked, "Zhang Cheng, is that person who is you an old acquaintance just now?..."
Zhang Cheng nodded and lowered his voice, "That person is not only an old acquaintance with the villain, but also an old acquaintance with the adults!"
Guo Zhiyuan was stunned when he heard this. He clearly didn't know the down-and-out middle-aged man, so why did Zhang Cheng say that he was his old acquaintance? Then Zhang Cheng continued to whisper: "Do you still remember the 'Demon Book Case'? This person was the shining Guang who arranged for the villain to leave at that time!..."
"Qing Shengguang!" Guo Zhiyuan was stunned. Guo Zhiyuan was able to crack the "demon book case" to rescue his cheap father Guo Zhengyu was the scapegoat for this Qi Shengguang. However, Guo Zhiyuan himself had never seen Qi Shengguang, so he did not recognize him. Guo Zhiyuan thought that he had arranged for Zhang Cheng to scare Qi Shengguang away, and he would never have any interaction with Qi Shengguang again, so he did not take this person in his heart. Guo Zhiyuan had to sigh that this world was too small! He actually met Qi Shengguang again in Gutian!
"Sir, this person is really ignorant of his life and death. He even dares to show off his throat after committing such a big case. If someone discovers his true identity, it may be detrimental to him. It is better..." Zhang Cheng looked at Guo Zhiyuan carefully and made a throat-cutting gesture.
Guo Zhiyuan shook his head. Although this Feng Shengguang was treacherous and cheated everywhere, he was caught by Shen Yiguan in the original time and space and tortured him to frame Guo Zhengyu as the mastermind behind the demon book case. Feng Shengguang would rather die than obey. It can be seen that this person has a bottom line and character in his work. Moreover, Guo Zhiyuan cracked the "monster book case" to rescue his cheap father Guo Zhengyu relied on using this Feng Shengguang as a scapegoat, which means that Feng Shengguang indirectly saved Guo Zhengyu. If Guo Zhiyuan killed him, wouldn't it be a favor to revenge? This violated Guo Zhiyuan's principle of being a human being.
However, what Zhang Cheng said makes sense. Xu Shengguang is now a wanted criminal in the imperial court. Fortunately, he met Guo Zhiyuan today. If he was caught by other officials, his identity was exposed and he was escorted back to the capital, he would be in danger. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor! Beheading is light, and maybe he will kill the nine clans!
Therefore, we must never let Feng Shengguang cheat everywhere again. Guo Zhiyuan will never allow such an uncertain factor to affect his grand career. He cannot kill or let go. Guo Zhiyuan is also in a dilemma.
At this time, Bai Du also came over from the back yamen and bowed to Guo Zhiyuan and said, "I wonder what the Lord calls the officials to come?"
Although Guo Zhiyuan regards Bai Du as his right-hand man, the influence of the "demon book case" is too great, so it is difficult to tell him. He winked at Zhang Cheng and handed Bai Du the fake Lu Yin that was in his hand and said, "Brother Bai, look at this Lu Yin, it's really..."
Bai Du took the Lu Zhi and looked at it, nodded and said, "It should be true..."
Guo Zhiyuan already knew the true identity of Su Shengguang, so he naturally knew that this Lu Yin could never be true. Unexpectedly, even Bai Du was taken aback. He couldn't help but feel surprised and smiled and said, "Brother Bai takes a closer look..."
Bai Du took Lu Yin with some confusion and looked at him carefully. After a long time of searching, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "It's not a reminder of the adults, I almost got away! This Lu Yin is indeed a forgery. This forgery is really a master. He can actually make the real fake so much!..."
Master! A sudden flash of inspiration in Guo Zhiyuan's mind. Aren't he worried about not being able to find a professional talent who runs a newspaper? When he was in the capital, he made a living by "printing fraud". He also boldly used the "national foundation dispute" to blackmail Concubine Zheng's brother Zheng Guotai, and it was successful. At this time, his fake path even made Bai Du look at it, which shows that this person is not only bold but also a little "wrong"!
As the saying goes, people can use their talents to their fullest. Although Feng Shengguang is cunning by nature, he still has a bottom line and character in life. It can be seen that his essence is not bad. If he uses it well, he is a rare talent. It is most appropriate to let him help Guo Zhiyuan run a newspaper. In this way, Guo Zhiyuan puts him under his nose, and there is no need to worry that he is caught and exposed and affects his great cause.
Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh happily: "This is really a matter of searching for everything without any effort!"
Zhang Cheng and Bai Du both looked at Guo Zhiyuan for some reason. Guo Zhiyuan did not explain to them. He waved to them and walked back to the lobby. He slapped the gavel hard and said loudly: "Bai Tingguang, you have a twin brother named Bai Shengguang who specializes in publishing and fraud and cheating others?!"
When Su Shengguang heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning. He knew that his identity had been seen through by Guo Zhiyuan. He just didn't know why Guo Zhiyuan had seen through his true identity but did not take him down on the spot. He had to know that he was a wanted criminal in the court. Guo Zhiyuan could have arrested him and went to the capital to seek credit. However, Guo Zhiyuan did not seem to be trying to arrest him, but instead he was trying to cover up his feelings.
He looked at Guo Zhiyuan in shock and confusion. However, Guo Zhiyuan looked at him with a smile, turned to the cheated passerby and said, "I have found out that someone else who took away your silver before was Bai Tingguang's twin brother. But you can pay it back. It's okay for you to find Bai Tingguang. But I see that Bai Tingguang is so depressed, I'm afraid there will be no silver to pay you back. Just as the county government needs a chore, the county government will first repay the silver you have taken away for Bai Tingguang and let Bai Tingguang do a chore to pay off the debt in the county government. Do you have any objections?..."
Although the cheated passerby did not understand why Guo Zhiyuan went out and found out that Bai Tingguang had a twin brother, he was overjoyed when he heard that he could get the silver that was swept away. He didn't think so much about it and kowtowed without any trouble and said, "It's up to the master to make the decision, and the villain has no objection!"
Feng Shengguang looked at Guo Zhiyuan in amazement, and forgot to answer. He couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head. Why didn't Guo Zhiyuan not only help him cover up, but also help him pay the money?
Guo Zhiyuan looked at Feng Shengguang's appearance and was secretly funny. This was exactly the effect he wanted. Feng Shengguang was cunning by nature. He had to use him before. Feng Shengguang would honestly help him run the newspaper. He did not dare to have bad thoughts, so he snorted coldly: "Bai Tingguang, if you don't answer, you don't want to stay in the county jail as a servant? Then I will put you in jail. When I catch your twin brother, I will punish you together!..."
Only then did Feng Shengguang wake up and kowtowed, "Thank you for your kindness, the villain is willing!"
The cheated passerby took the silver that the county yard had given to him for Feng Shengguang and left happily. Guo Zhiyuan stood up and said to Feng Shengguang who was still confused, "Bai Tingguang, come with me, I have something to ask you!" After that, he walked towards the back yard, and Feng Shengguang quickly got up and followed him anxiously.
One by one, the other, they arrived at Guo Zhiyuan's official residence in the back yamen. Guo Zhiyuan sat down on the chair in the middle of the flower hall. He looked at the anxious Feng Shengguang, and suddenly his face changed. He said in a cold voice: "Feng Shengguang, you are so brave. You dare to cheat everywhere for committing the heinous crime of killing the nine clans, but do you think your life is long?!..."
When Xu Shengguang heard Guo Zhiyuan call out his real name, the last trace of luck in his heart disappeared. He was so scared that he knelt in front of Guo Zhiyuan and cried bitterly: "Sir, please spare your life. The villain knew that he should die, but he really had no choice. The villain was unaware of the demon book case, but he inexplicably became an imperial criminal invader in the court. He left the capital in a hurry and did not bring much money. He spent it shortly after leaving the capital. The villain had no skills and could only do this shameless life!..."
Guo Zhiyuan knew that what Xu Shengguang said was indeed the truth, otherwise he would not be so down and out. This was exactly the effect that Guo Zhiyuan wanted. Only by making Xu Shengguang feel that he was his last life-saving straw, Xu Shengguang would devote himself to his loyalty. So Guo Zhiyuan glanced at Xu Shengguang and said in a long tone: "Xi Shengguang, do you know why this official didn't take you down and send you to the capital to seek credit?!..."
This was also the most confusing question of Su Shengguang, so he immediately raised his head and looked at Guo Zhiyuan with a look that he longed to know the answer. Guo Zhiyuan did not keep it in slightest and said, "Because my father is Guo Zhengyu, the former Minister of Rites, who was wronged and imprisoned for the case. Later, my father was able to clear his grievances because of your appearance. So no matter whether you are really the culprit of the evil book case, I am willing to give you a chance to survive. I will apply for your household registration, and from then on you will never have to hide in Tibet!..."
Speaking of this, Guo Zhiyuan suddenly changed his tone and said sternly: "But you also need to know that you committed a heinous crime of killing the nine clans. You have to bear a great deal of taking in it. If you remain unchanged, as long as you find out once, you will definitely take down your head and avoid harming others!"
Feng Shengguang has been running for life in a hurry for a while, always worried about being caught, and it is really worse than death. Now he finally saw the hope of survival, so he kowtowed hard and thanked him, and said gratefully: "Adults are the rebirthed parents of villains. If they are not grateful, wouldn't it be better than pigs and dogs? Please rest assured, villains will definitely change their past mistakes. If adults have a place to use villains, villains are willing to work hard for dogs and horses!"
Guo Zhiyuan saw that the bald head was bleeding. He knew that what he said should be the truth, so he helped him up and said in a slow tone: "Then remember, from now on, there will be no such person in the world. You are called Bai Tingguang! You are a rare talent, but unfortunately you are not used on the right path. I will give you a chance to display your talents and run a newspaper for me!"
