Gu Ruinian was in extreme pain.
How could he know who became the emperor? But he had to provide an answer that seemed impossible to everyone else to have a chance of survival.
No matter, surviving comes first.
"Second Master Zheng, may I be struck by lightning if I'm lying," Gu Ruinian said.
Second Master Zheng ordered the water torture to stop.
Gu Ruinian took a deep breath, his mind gradually recovering, realizing that Second Master Zheng asking him this question wasn't to test him because Second Master Zheng himself didn't know the answer.
There was only one conclusion, and that was that Second Master Zheng or the Zheng Family had connections with Shengjing, and he wanted to use this chance for risky investment.
In the feudal era of collusion between officials and merchants, which local businessman didn't have a backer in the court?
Second Master Zheng had quite an appetite.
Gu Ruinian nodded without hesitation and said, "The next emperor is indeed the Fifth Prince."
