The tip of the arrow flashed with light in the setting sun.

In front of the carriage, the person controlling the crane was approaching steadily, holding a long black knife.

Although she couldn't see behind the car, Lin Xuerong could hear footsteps approaching.

She was really surrounded!

Strong fear captured all Lin Xuerong's emotions.

She sat stiffly on the spot, realizing for the first time that there was such a big gap between herself and Gu Zhao.

If she was dragged out of the carriage by Gu Zhao, her reputation would be completely ruined.

In this era, what choice does a rich lady who visits a brothel have except death?

"I can't sit still and wait for death." Lin Xuerong murmured.

The solution she had previously thought of was to wear a curtain hat, not show her true face, and say that she was a female dependent in charge of the Duke Li's palace.

No one dared to lift the curtain to confirm.

But it doesn't work now. Gu Zhao will definitely not let her get away with it like this.

Lin Xuerong quickly got up and lifted the cushion under her body, "Zisui, come and help!"

This carriage has been specially modified. The bottom of the couch is hollow, so she can lie down in it given her height.

The two people moved the things on the couch as quickly as possible, opened the cover, and Lin Xuerong quickly lay down in it.

Zi Sui covered the cover, huffing and puffing, and arranged the bedding, brocade quilt and pillows neatly.

Looking back, she saw the curtain hat on the floor, and Zi Sui quickly put it on her head.

After checking the surroundings and finding no flaws, Zisui suddenly sat on the ground.

"Miss, what should I do?" the guard leader's voice trembled, "Do you want to rush out?"

Zi Sui took a deep breath, "No need."

She raised her voice, "I'm here to take a look at the property of our Duke's Mansion. Are there any other laws that have been violated?"

With that said, Zi Sui opened the car curtain and slowly walked out of the car.

The mother-in-law quickly brought a brocade stool and helped her get out of the carriage.

Zi Sui, wearing a curtain hat, walked to the front of the carriage and saluted Gu Zhao who was surrounded by people.

"Your Excellency, I am the stewardess of Duke Li's Mansion. I came to the mansion today to do some business. I wonder if you would like to advise me if you stop us?"

Gu Zhao looked her up and down, and naturally he could tell that this was not Lin Xuerong.

She nodded, "Is there anyone else in the car?"

Zi Sui tried her best to keep calm, "No, it's just me."

She raised her finger and pointed at the maid who was following behind the car, "Everyone I have with me is outside the car."

Gu Zhao thought thoughtfully, "Okay, please come with us."

Zi Sui's voice rose unconsciously, "Where are you going?"

"Of course it's the Control Crane Division."

"Why?"

"Because I have received news that Dong Hao's spies are meeting here. The time and place you showed up are so coincidental that I have to suspect that you are related to this."

Zi Sui was anxious, "How is that possible! We are from Duke Li's palace, how could we have anything to do with Dong Hao's spy! Sir, please be careful with your words!"

Gu Zhao chuckled lightly and raised his chin towards Qi Si beside him.

Qi Si took a step forward with a cold face.

Almost no one saw clearly how he drew the sword. They could only hear the roar of the wind and a fountain of blood as thick as a bucket rising into the sky!

After a brief silence, screams and cries sounded almost simultaneously.

Zi Sui only saw a large amount of blood spurting out of thin air on the white gauze around the curtain cap, and the strong bloody smell surrounded her.

She didn't even realize what happened.

Until there was a plop, the old woman collapsed to the ground, and a bloody horse head rolled to her side.

Only then did Zi Sui realize that the man who controlled Hesi just cut off the head of the horse pulling the cart with one knife!

Her legs were weak, the ground beneath her feet seemed to be circling and shaking, and the whole world was spinning.

Gu Zhao sneered, "How dare you, a small steward, speak nonsense in front of me?"

Lin Weikang only warned her face to face to be careful with her words, but the servants of the Duke's Mansion actually dared to be so presumptuous. She really didn't know how much she weighed.

Zisui was so frightened that she lost her mind and fell to the ground. She couldn't hear any sound at all.

Gu Zhao took a few steps forward, grabbed her wrist and lifted her up.

Countless voices rushed into Gu Zhao's mind overlappingly.

How terrible!

Am I going to die?

The Controller is going to kill someone!

It's really not cost-effective to follow a young lady.

Is Gu Zhao a woman? Why is she so cruel?

It would be too easy for the young lady to be discovered hiding in the car!

I want to go home, I don’t want to see these evil spirits like Konheji!

There are also many screams and roars that Gu Zhao cannot hear clearly...

All these things rushed into Gu Zhao's mind at the same time, giving her a splitting headache.

Gu Zhao endured the pain, threw Zi Sui into the car, and took advantage of the situation to take stock of the situation in the car.

A sarcastic smile appeared on Gu Zhao's face. She turned around and ordered, "Take everyone back and kill those who resist!"

Just as the leader of the guards of the Duke's Mansion was about to say something, there was sudden movement deep in the alley.

The back door of Hongxiuzhao was opened, and a stream of people filed out.

The first few were wearing the guard uniforms of Duke Li's palace, while the ones behind were wearing the official uniforms of Konghe Division.

Several of the guards of Duke Li's Mansion were dejected, their hands tied behind their backs and strung together with a rope.

At the end of the rope was a short man wearing a silk coat, who was also tied tightly and had a cloth stuffed in his mouth.

The leader, Xiaohe, saluted and reported to Gu Zhao

"Sir, we discovered Dong Hao's spy, Master Shen, and several brothers who were kidnapped by them in the secret room of the Red Sleeves.

"These people claim to be the bodyguards of Duke Li's Mansion, helping Donghao's spies guard our brothers!"

Gu Zhao looked at him approvingly, "Well done! I'll give you credit this time!"

Xiaohe's face was full of respect, "It's all a clever plan by adults. These people are all paying attention to the developments at the back door and are not prepared for our surprise attack. Only then can my subordinates take down these rebels in one fell swoop."

Shen Wei followed at the end, his face full of shame, hesitating "Sir, I..."

Gu Zhao interrupted him and comforted him.

"This is a trap for us. Brother Shen, don't take it to heart. Didn't you catch him? Go back and entertain him!"

Shen Wei and the two Xiaohe who were trapped together showed their white teeth when they thought about the past few days. "Yes, we will definitely make them feel at home!"

The people with their hands tied and their mouths gagged all shook their heads desperately, as if they wanted to say something, but they could only make whining sounds.

Gu Zhao glanced at the carriage and coldly ordered, "Take them all back! Both the people and the carriage must be strictly guarded and no one is allowed to approach."
