Chapter 69 The People Behind North Street
The door was gently knocked.
Gu Zhao opened his eyes and said, "Come in."
A faint moonlight came in from outside the door, and a figure extended from the door to the room, looking particularly majestic.
It's Yuanfu.
With the glimmer of light, Gu Zhao could see that he was holding the plate in both hands and walking in with brisk steps.
Gu Zhao was startled, "Why are you here? Be careful."
Just as she was about to light the lamp, Yuanfu seemed to be able to see through the darkness and walked to the desk.
Yuan Fu put the thing in his hand on the table and turned around and pushed open the window sash on the wall.
The cold breath flowed into the room instantly with the thin moonlight.
Gu Zhao quickly stopped him, "Don't drive so big, what should you do if you are frozen?"
Yuan Fu seemed to pull the corner of his mouth and reached out to pull the thick fur coat on his body.
Gu Zhao herself was not afraid of the cold - she also pulled the corners of her mouth with a hint of self-deprecation. After all, she didn't freeze to death in the cold palace at the time.
Yuan Fu stood at the desk, and Gu Zhao could hear the sound of the jingling of the bowl and spoon. Judging from his movements, he should have brought the pot and bowl over.
The sweet smell floating in the air told Gu Zhao that Yuanfu should have brought a pot of sweet soup.
Gu Zhao inexplicably wanted to laugh.
When she was making Yuanfu happy, she kept feeding Yuanfu sweets.
Now it’s the other way around, has Yuanfu brought sweet soup to feed her?
Yuan Fu found that she was in a low mood and could not speak, so he used this method to comfort her?
Warmth arises from Gu Zhao's heart.
Yuan Fuke is really a caring little baby. I really don’t understand why his family is reluctant to treat him well with such a cute little cutie who is good-looking, soft-hearted and warm-hearted.
Well, now she has picked it up, it is her own treasure.
She wanted to spoil Yuan Fu so much that she was happy every day, even more close than her own brother!
Yuan Fu bent down and placed the bowl in front of Gu Zhao. He sat opposite Gu Zhao, holding another bowl.
When sweet sugar water slid into the mouth from the spoon, all the sentimentality was suddenly thrown away by Gu Zhao.
In the faint moonlight, the two of them quietly drank a small pot of sweet soup...

"Sir, I have something to report to you."
When Shen Wei returned from North Street, it was already evening.
As Gu Zhao expected, Renxin Pharmacy had closed down, and the original pharmacy had now been changed to a cloth shop.
The pharmacy people have long disappeared.
However, Shen Wei did not withdraw immediately, but collected all the information about Renxin Pharmacy according to Gu Zhao's instructions.
He has friends in several military officials, and Beicheng is no exception.
Shen Wei found his friend who was the captain of the military personnel patrol team and invited several patrol soldiers in charge of Renxin Pharmacy area to inquire about the news while drinking.
Unexpectedly, he really found some valuable situations.
"You mean, there was an old man in Renxin Pharmacy who was called a 'poison doctor'?" Gu Zhao also felt energetic when he heard this.
Shen Wei nodded, "Yes, it was my brother's subordinate who accidentally heard it."
Gu Zhao remembered it very clearly that Huang Yuanzong said that the poison in Yuan Fu's body was too complicated and he could not cure it. It was possible to treat it unless a famous poison doctor.
Regardless of whether this "toxic doctor" is what the Huang Yuan senator said, Shen Wei still remembers to pay attention to the news in this regard. Gu Zhao was very grateful to him, "Brother Shen is in love, I would like to thank you for your cousin."
"It's a pity that Renxin Pharmacy has been transferred, and I don't know if the old man is still in Shangjing." Shen Wei was a little regretful.
It was only after he heard Qi Si that he realized that Gu Zhao's cousin who looked like an exiled immortal was so miserable.
Even if it wasn't Lord Gu's cousin, Chen Wei was willing to help him with just looking at that face.
Gu Zhao thought about "Did you remember the person's appearance?"
"have."
Chen Wei followed Gu Zhao to handle the case several times, and had long discovered that Gu Zhao liked to write down everything, so he was ready.
He took out a piece of paper and gave it to Gu Zhao.
"About sixty years old, medium figure, slightly hunched back, red complexion, gray hair, triangular eyes, fine wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, black moles at the tip of the nose, sharp voice..." Gu Zhao laughed, "Brother Chen did a great job carefulness."
Seeing that she was watching carefully, Chen Wei couldn't help but grin, "Just, I don't know how to do it, I'll just write it down."
He added, "North Street is really chaotic. If you want to go, you must bring your subordinates and bring more people."
Speaking of this, Gu Zhao really only heard about the chaos in North Street, but he didn't know the specific situation.
"Does Brother Chen know about North Street? Can you tell me?" They are all in Shangjing, why did North Street become a Huawai area?
As a native of Shangjing, Chen Wei really knows more about this issue than Gu Zhao.
The Beijie Rebellion began when Donghao ruled Bei'an.
Donghao has few people and Bei'an has many people. Donghao adopts a policy of division, attracting a group of traitors, giving them privileges, and allowing them to come forward to establish the court.
Since these people can betray their country, they can imagine that they are not good things. They are all obsessed with profit, and all they think about is promotion and wealth.
The leading families took a fancy to Beicheng.
The North City is the only way to enter Shangjing for inspection by the Western Regions and the Northern Trade Road. It also has the largest canal transport terminal. The bulk goods transported from the southern water are unloaded and put into warehouses here. It can be said to be a treasure land.
Several families used their power to gradually divide the North City into their forbidden property.
In order to cultivate their power, the Donghao people turned a blind eye to their behavior and just asked them to pay taxes.
All kinds of laws are useless in the North City. As long as you have money and power, you can do whatever you want in the North City.
The puppet court treated the fight and murdered people in the street as if they had not seen it, and only Beicheng's own patrol team dealt with it.
It was not until Emperor Anwu swept Bei'an, expelled Donghao, and restored the Qin court that Beicheng was taken back.
However, those families have already occupied a deep position in Beicheng and have both open and secret interests from the Bei'an clan; and Emperor Anwu was able to expand his army at the time, and the support of the Bei'an clan was indispensable.
When he first ascended the throne, Emperor Anwu had not yet gained a foothold. He sorted out the forces of Tongshun and could only roughly clean up the North City, leaving behind a piece of North City core North Street, which had not been completely cleaned up.
