"Alright, alright." An old man with a slightly dark face, a round chin, long, ink-black hair, and a rather large nose waved his hand, cutting them off. "There's no need to go over this known information again. Tell me something I don't know."
The secret chamber fell silent.
The few Thousand Households present exchanged glances.
Finally, the one who had spoken first asked softly, "General Meng, are you referring to..."
"This Gu Zheng—is it possible he's one of *their* people?" the old man asked, raising an eyebrow.
"..."
The Thousand Households fell silent once more.
"General, we are unable to determine," the same Thousand Households who had spoken before replied in a low voice. "According to his file, there are no issues with Gu Zheng's family background. The Gu Family's lineage in Qingshi County can be traced back to his great-great-grandfather. Furthermore, based on his actions and performance, Gu Zheng doesn't seem to be one of their people."
