Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 421 True or False
Although Yun Hao really wanted to arrest Yang Zheng and others immediately, he did not have enough manpower. If he acted rashly, not only would he fail to accomplish his goal, but he might also let them escape, bringing greater disaster to the people.

He must act cautiously and plan carefully in order to take down Yang Zheng and his gang in one fell swoop.

As for the Wang Shi who impersonated him, he could be used. Yang Zheng wanted Wang Shi to lure him out, so he arranged for someone to show up.

When the false is true, the true is false; when the true is false, the false is true.

"Waiter, please pay the bill." Yun Hao put down the money for the tea, stood up and left the teahouse.

Back at the small courtyard where he was staying temporarily, Yun Hao arranged for his men to pretend to be him and contact Wang Shi. "Li Xin, you are the smartest. You will pretend to be me. Go and ask him why he pretended to be you and ruin your reputation."

"I understand." Li Xin replied.

"Wu Cheng, Qin Yi, the two of you accompany him to meet Yang Zheng." Yun Hao continued.

"Yes, sir." The two men accepted the order.

The three of them left the courtyard and successfully found Wang Shi, who was having a good time in the brothel.

Seeing the three people who broke in, Wang Shi asked angrily: "Who are you? Who let you in? Get out."

"Young Master Wang, you are so arrogant. How come you have been pretending to be me so much that you have forgotten who you are?" Li Xin sneered.

Wang Shi's expression changed slightly, "You, you are Yun Hao, Lord Yun?"

"Why am I not? Are you?" Li Xin dragged a chair over and sat down, curling the corners of his lips and asked with a smile.

"Lord Yun, I didn't want to impersonate you. Someone forced me to do this. Please spare my life!" Wang Shi knelt on the ground crying. He knew that impersonating Yun Hao would be risky, but he didn't expect that after only three days of pretending to be Yun Hao, he would lure someone out.

Without Li Xin and his men interrogating him, Wang Shi told them everything. "He is the governor, and I am just an ordinary citizen. He said that if I don't do what he wants, he will kill me."

"He can kill him, but I can't kill you?" Li Xin said lightly.

Although the sound was not loud, it was as chilling as ice, causing Wang Shi's heart to sink to the bottom in an instant.

Wang Shi was trembling all over, he knew that he was really in big trouble this time.

He originally thought that Yang Zheng could protect him, but now it seems that it was just an illusion. He raised his head and said with pleading eyes: "Master Yun, I...I was really forced. I am willing to serve you and make up for my mistakes."

"Let's go, while it's still early, let's go meet the governor." Li Xin stretched out his hand and lifted up Wang Shi who was kneeling on the ground.

"Yes, Lord Yun, I will take you there right away." Wang Shi said tremblingly.

The night is deep and the moonlight shines on the earth, forming a mottled light and shadow.

The person who was carrying Wang Shi was replaced by Wu Cheng, after all, Li Xin is now "Yun Hao".

Soon, they arrived at the Governor's residence.

The gate of the mansion was closed, and two guards stood in front of the door. They held spears and looked around vigilantly.

Wang Shi stepped forward and whispered to the guard, "I am Wang Shi, and I have something important to discuss with the Governor."

The guard didn't recognize Wang Shi. "Who dares to come to see the Governor? Go away, get out of the way!"

Wang Shi's face froze. "Brother, it's not me who wants to see the Governor-General. I'm bringing Lord Yun to see the Governor-General. Please be flexible."

The guard rubbed his fingers, and Wang Shi tactfully took out two silver pieces and gave them to him, "Brother, take this and have a drink." "Okay, wait." The guard went in to report.

Li Xin and the other two snorted. The fact that the guards accepted benefits so blatantly showed the atmosphere in the Governor's Mansion.

However, the main purpose of their trip was to meet Yang Zheng, so they would not bother too much about such trivial matters.

After waiting for a while, the guard came out and said, "The Governor wants to see you. Please come in."

"Thank you, big brother." Wang Shi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and followed the guard inside. Li Xin and the other two followed slowly.

After passing through the hanging flower gate and a corridor, they arrived at the reception room. The maid guarding the door reported in, "Sir, the guests are here."

"Let them in." Yang Zheng said from inside.

This person was so arrogant that Wu Cheng muttered quietly, "He is just a second-rank official, but he acts like His Majesty."

Qin Yi glanced at him and said, "Local emperor."

When they entered the room, they saw a middle-aged man sitting in the main seat. He was wearing official uniform and a hat, and had a serious expression. It was Yang Zheng, the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

Yang Zheng saw several people coming in and his eyes fell on Li Xin, "Who are you? Why do you want to see me?"

"Lord Yang took great pains and used all means to force me out. Now that he sees me, he asks me who I am. He is really blind." Li Xin said sarcastically.

As the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Yang Zheng held great power and was always treated with respect wherever he went. Li Xin (Yun Hao) was rude, which made him very unhappy, but he did not show it on his face. He smiled and bowed his hands and said, "Don't be upset, Lord Yun. I had no choice but to do this. Lord Yun, please take a seat and talk slowly."

Li Xin sneered, sat down on the chair, and asked directly: "I wonder what is the purpose of Lord Yang mobilizing so many troops and forcing Yun out at the cost of ruining my reputation?"

"Lord Yun is a straightforward person, so I will just tell you straight away. What brings Lord Yun to Tianxing Prefecture?" Yang Zheng asked.

"Lord Yang wants to ask Yun whether he came to Tianxing Mansion to investigate you?" Li Xin said clearly.

Yang Zheng was stunned. Even though he was a very cunning man, he felt a little embarrassed. He laughed dryly and said, "Master Yun, you are joking."

"Sir Yang, Yun came to Tianxing Mansion this time to investigate some things, but he did not come here for you, Sir Yang. You are worrying too much." Li Xin said lightly, but there was a sharpness in his eyes, as if he could see through Yang Zheng's heart.

"Oh? Then why did Lord Yun come here?" Yang Zheng did not believe what he said. The body lost in the mass grave was the bait he released. He firmly believed that Yun Hao had someone move the body away.

"This matter involves some secrets of the court, so I am not in a position to disclose it." Li Xin said lightly.

Since this matter concerns the imperial court, Yang Zheng could not ask any more questions. "How long does Lord Yun plan to stay in Tianxing Prefecture?"

"Well, that depends on the progress of Yun's investigation." Li Xin didn't know how long it would take to resolve this matter.

They have to wait until all the men are gathered before they can catch Yang Zheng and his gang in one fell swoop.

Yang Zheng was not disappointed when he could not get any information from Li Xin. He took the initiative to invite Li Xin to stay at the Governor's Mansion. "Lord Yun, you are here at Tianxing Mansion. As the landlord, it would be wrong for me not to show my hospitality. Why don't you stay at the Governor's Mansion?"

Li Xin wanted to refuse, but then he thought, if you don't venture into the tiger's den, you can't get the tiger cub. If he stayed in the Governor's Mansion, he might be able to find more evidence. He smiled and said, "Thank you for bothering me."

Yang Zheng was stunned. He thought Li Xin would refuse, but Li Xin's agreement made him uncertain.

Didn’t Yun Hao come to Tianxing Prefecture to investigate him?
