After Gu Zhao and his party left, Mrs. Zhong's charming smile immediately turned into a serious look.

"Think about it carefully. Did you leave any flaws when you started?"

The nurse who looked honest just now had sinister eyes and a cold tone, "Madam, don't worry, those thieves don't even have the strength to fight back. How could they let us leave clues?"

"After beating them to death, we dumped them in a place where no one has been before. We have checked all the traces, and there is absolutely no way for anyone to doubt them."

The housekeeper watched the courtyard door close and walked to Mrs. Zhong, "Don't worry, madam. I sent someone to check it out. Lieutenant He County also wants to visit other people's homes. He shouldn't be here specifically for us."

Mrs. Zhong's beautiful face had a cold expression, like a beautiful snake. "The plan will be implemented soon. In the last few days, we must not take it lightly!"

"As long as this plan succeeds, Stone City, the stone that has blocked our country's march for a long time, can be completely removed, and Dahao's troops marching south will be unstoppable!"

Her face darkened, "But if you fail, you should know better than me what the consequences will be!"

"As a side branch of the clan, I was just rejected by the king and fell into despair. But you..." Mrs. Zhong's cold eyes swept across the few people in front of her, "There is only one end! That is death!"

The housekeeper, several nursing staff, and the maids around Mrs. Zhong all stood upright and shouted in unison, "I will serve you to the death!"

Mrs. Zhong was very satisfied with their performance. She nodded and pressed her hand down to let them relax. "Of course, everyone has seen what we have done during this period. It is very effective."

"Until now, neither He Zhao nor the Shicheng officials have doubted us."

If there was any trouble, it would be that a few days ago, when she was observing the garrison in Shicheng, the royal jade pendant she was carrying was stolen by a thief on the street.

If it is other objects, forget it. Even if they are worth some money, there is no need to go out and search for them in a big way.

But this jade pendant is different.

This is the symbol of the Yilan clan.

Yi Lan Suxiang's family is already in a state of decline. If they lose even their royal tokens, they will be even more speechless within the family in the future.

Moreover, if this jade pendant fell into the eyes of interested people, it would most likely arouse their suspicion and ruin the plans of Yi Lan Suxiang and his party.

That's why Yi Lan Suxiang issued a death order to her subordinates, telling them to retrieve the jade pendant within a month.

They were not locals in Shicheng and did not understand the distribution of thieves in Shicheng. They could only use the stupidest method to catch the thieves secretly. Once they caught one, they would torture them and interrogate them for clues.

Finally, I found the leper Liu and learned that he had stolen the jade Pei and had pawned it to the pawnshop.

"This time, we cannot let Lieutenant He County link this case to us." Yi Lan Suxiang ordered with a cold face, "Otherwise, our long-term planning will fall short!"

"Tomorrow, determine the location of the Shicheng garrison for the last time, and then pass on the information."

"General Kumamoto has been waiting for news about us at Douchuan Pass for a long time. I hope we can spend this Ghost Festival with General Kumamoto in Shicheng."

"Amidst the blood and wailing, we celebrate the Great Hao Kingdom's victory and glory once again, and are about to usher in a new era. What a yearning scene it is."

Yi Lan Suxiang stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked her red lips, as if she had tasted some unparalleled delicacy.

The housekeeper, who had been silent for a long time, reminded carefully, "Madam, General Kumamoto said that Captain He County was going to be captured alive..."

Yi Lan Suxiang's reverie was interrupted, and a pair of originally very beautiful eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent, staring at the housekeeper without saying a word.

A layer of cold sweat soon broke out on the housekeeper's forehead, his shoulders and back became more and more bent, and he did not dare to meet her eyes at all.

His ability is much stronger than Yi Lan Suxiang, but who made him come from a humble background? So in this operation, he can only be Yi Lan Suxiang's deputy.

The credit goes to Yi Lan Suxiang, and if there is a failure, all the responsibility is his.

In a situation like this, if Yi Lan Suxiang killed him and insisted that he was the one responsible, no one would stand up for him.

Yi Lan Suxiang snorted coldly, "Of course I know!"

Talents like He Zhao, even though they had caused heavy losses to Dong Hao in the past, made Dong Hao's coach Hidetoshi Kumamoto value him very much and wanted to capture him alive and let him play for Dong Hao.

"You go and catch him before we take action on the Hungry Ghost Festival night."

"When the time comes, Shicheng will be leaderless, which will be convenient for our army to enter."

The housekeeper felt as if he had been granted amnesty and repeatedly praised "Madam for her wisdom".

Amid the expectations of all parties, the Hungry Ghost Festival has arrived as scheduled.

The altar had been set up a day in advance and stood tall at the busiest intersection in Shicheng.

Five-color flags fluttered in the autumn wind, and various yellow symbols were plastered around the altar.

Starting early in the morning, Taoist boys were sitting upright on the Dharma altar and chanting sutras, attracting the believers who had arrived at the Dharma altar early in the morning to follow suit and chant.

By noon, more and more people came from all directions to participate in the Dharma conference, and the entire intersection was blocked by water.

Gu Zhao was sitting on the second floor of a restaurant next to the intersection, with Lu Qi in casual clothes next to him.

For the past few days, Lu Qi had been living in the Yamen and working with Gu Zhao on plans to lure the enemy almost every day.

Gu Zhao seemed to have returned to the days when he and Lu Zuoxiang worked hard to plan various affairs for the court.
