As far as Xie Yan could see, it was just a minor matter.
He knew Gu Zhenkang well. He was in a low position and totally incapable. The reason why he was able to survive in the capital was only because he had two capable wives. Now when he was able to be related to Lord Ling, he was going to agree and approve of everything. Therefore, he was not at all worried about this visit.
Gu Zhenkang came to greet him, when he told the guards who he was.
Seeing Xie Yan, he put on a flattering smile. "Greetings, Officer Xie, anything I can do for you today?"
Then he asked Xie Yan to take a seat inside.
Xie Yan smiled in satisfaction, but said nothing directly. Instead, he took a sip of the tea in the hall and started slowly, "I am here today, because Lord Ling is wondering about one thing here."
Gu Zhenkang was startled. Then he smiled and rubbed his hands.
