Reborn eldest daughter, she killed Gu Zhaoqin Xinglie insanely

As Gu Zhao said this, he went up the stairs first and sat on the seat by the window again. Seeing this, Kang Jian could only follow him up.

Qi Si said a few words to Shen Wei, and then ordered his men to take good care of these people. No matter who came, they were not allowed to see each other, and the carriage must also be kept alone.

After the explanation, he quickly walked upstairs and stood beside Gu Zhao.

Kang Jian said half with emotion and half with compliment, "Master Gu's men are really loyal."

Gu Zhao asked Qi Si to sit down, and Qi Si cupped his hands and took the person to sit down at the next table, always paying attention to what was going on around him.

"My father-in-law knows that I am a newcomer, and Brother Qi has been helping me."

Kang Jian nodded secretly and poured Gu Zhao a cup of tea.

Both are young women with extraordinary status, but Gu Zhao and Lin Xuerong give people very different impressions.

On the surface, Lin Xuerong appears to be gentle, generous, considerate and sensible, but in fact, no matter who she is, one can sense her invisible reserve and alienation.

Probably only in front of His Highness the Crown Prince, she was truly as tender as water.

Gu Zhao is different.

She is tough and resolute when talking about business, but outside of business she is easy-going and even makes jokes with people from time to time.

There is no flattery to those above and no airs to those below.

Even eunuchs like Kang Jian never felt any difference in treatment in front of her. Over time, it was easy to get along with her, as casually as an old friend.

But Kang Jian would not forget Gu Zhao's identity because of this.

He took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Mr. Gu, there are still serious things to do, so we won't go around in circles with you."

Gu Zhao raised his eyes and looked at Kang Jian with a smile, waiting for him to continue.

Kang Jian lowered his voice, "We are following you today. We saw with our own eyes the guards of the Duke's Mansion escorting Zisui all the way to Hong Xiuzhao. We naturally know that she is here to find that person."

He paused and showed some hesitation, "But, after all, I haven't seen that person with my own eyes..."

The task given to him by the prince was to confirm whether Lin Xuerong was really closely related to such a filthy place as Hong Xiuzhao.

He saw with his own eyes that Zi Sui came to Hongxiuzhao in a carriage from the Duke's Palace, sneaked in through the back door, and then came out in a carriage from the back door of the Hongxiu Zhao. There were a large number of servants from the Duke's Palace around the carriage.

From a logical inference, everyone can imagine that Lin Xuerong is doing the red sleeve trick.

Otherwise, how could one maid have such a big battle?

But Kang Jian didn't see Lin Xuerong with his own eyes after all.

Gu Zhao laughed softly, "What my father-in-law said makes sense. Come on, Gu Zhao will give you a cup of tea instead of wine."

Kang Jian didn't mean to say that he didn't see Lin Xuerong with his own eyes, so he couldn't report back to the prince?

This is not a case that requires solid evidence, but just the slightest possibility. The mere appearance of Lin Xuerong's personal maid in Hong Xiu Zhao is enough to establish the certainty of this matter.

Kang Jian was reminding her that since he took action, he would press Lin Xuerong to death and never give her a chance to stand up!

Also, if Lin Xuerong resurfaces and gets involved with the prince again, Kang Jian will be the first to be unlucky.

Two white porcelain teacups touched each other gently in the air, and Gu Zhao and Kang Jian laughed tacitly.

Kang Jian slowly drank the tea in his cup, stood up and said goodbye, "We still need to reply to His Highness, so I won't disturb Mr. Gu."

Gu Zhao sat by the window, picked up side dishes and ate them casually.

Not long after, the waiter came over holding a bottle of wine, followed by a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper.

"Master Gu." The middle-aged man looked attentive and bowed, "The young one is the shopkeeper here."

He took the bottle of wine with his own hands, poured a glass respectfully, put it in front of Gu Zhao, and then poured a glass himself, "My father-in-law has sent a message, thank you Mr. Gu for enforcing the law impartially and clearing the eldest son's grievances. Bei

As long as my Huo family can handle street matters, please feel free to give me your orders."

After saying that, the shopkeeper drank the wine in one gulp and lit the bottom of the cup to show respect to Gu Zhaoliang. "I have a low status. This cup is from my heart. The Duke of Yong has said that Master Gu is always welcome in Duke Yong's mansion."

To be a guest."

Gu Zhao didn't expect that a restaurant he picked at random would turn out to be the property of Duke Yongguo.

It seemed that Duke Yong's government had a deeper foundation in North Street than she had imagined. Moreover, Duke Yong's government reacted so quickly. I'm afraid they got the news before Konghesi took action.

She turned her head and looked out the window. This restaurant happened to have a back door in Hongxiu. Maybe it was not a coincidence.

The smile on Gu Zhao's face faded, leaving only a calm and solemn look. "Can you please tell Duke Yong that I am just fulfilling my duties and do not need to express my gratitude to him."

"As for the North Street matter, as long as it does not violate national laws and regulations, I will not meddle in it."

Duke Yong Guo did not dare to make friends with her, for fear of arousing more jealousy from the emperor, and as an official of the Crane Control Department, Gu Zhao would not make friends with Duke Yong.

"Yes, I must have conveyed Master Gu's words." The shopkeeper bowed and said, "I'll take my leave."

Gu Zhao took a look at him and found that the shopkeeper's behavior seemed to be respectful, but in fact he was neither humble nor overbearing. It seemed that there were many people in Duke Yong's mansion.

Gu Zhao waited for a while longer, until dusk had fallen and no one else came.

She had heard from Luo Ting that the largest gang in North Street was called Qingyi Tang, which controlled most of the coolies at the water transport terminal.

What's even more special is that the head of the Qingyi Hall is an old lady in her sixties, known as the "witch woman". It is said that she has a tough style, is decisive in her actions, and will fight for reasons without giving in.

Why didn't you show up today?

Gu Zhao got up, went downstairs, and got on his horse.

This time on weekdays is when Hong Xiu welcomes customers.

At that time, the whole Hongxiu was brightly lit, and there were often twos and threes of beautiful women upstairs leaning on the railings to look into the distance, attracting passers-by to walk involuntarily.

Today's Red Sleeve Movement was in complete darkness, with soldiers guarding the front and back doors. Many people became frightened when they saw it from a distance, and turned around and left.
