Gu Zhao said as he went up the stairs first and sat back in the seat next to the window. Seeing this, Kang Jian had to follow him.

Qi Si said a few words to Chen Wei, and then instructed his subordinates to take good care of these people. No matter who comes, they are allowed to meet, and the carriage must be detained alone.

After the explanation, he accelerated his pace and stood beside Gu Zhao.

Kang Jian said half-heartedly, half-compassingly, "Mr. Gu's subordinates are really loyal."

Gu Zhao asked Qi Si to sit down. Qi Si bowed and took people to the next table to sit down, paying attention to the movements around him at any time.

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

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

Both young women with extraordinary identities give people a very different feeling.

Lin Xuerong is gentle, generous, considerate and sensible on the surface, but in fact, no matter who she is, she can feel her invisible reserve and alienation.

Perhaps only in front of the Prince's Hall can she be really tender.

But Gu Zhao is different.

She was tough and determined when talking about the serious business, but she was easy-going outside the serious business and would joke with people from time to time.

He does not flatter the superiors and has no airs to the subordinates.

Even eunuchs like Kang Jian never felt any difference in front of her. Over time, they would easily get along with her, as if they were 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 still has some serious work to do, so we won't go around with you."

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

Kang Jian lowered his voice, "Today, our family followed the lord and saw with their own eyes the guards of the Duke's Mansion escorting Zisui all the way to Hongxiuzhao. Naturally, she knew that she was here to find that person."

He paused, showing a little hesitation, "But, after all, I didn't see that person with my own eyes..."

The prince gave him the task to confirm whether Lin Xuerong is really closely related to a dirty place like Hong Xiuzhao.

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

From the reason, anyone can think that Lin Xuerong is just trying to trick her.

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

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

Gu Zhao chuckled softly, "What my father-in-law said is reasonable. Come on, Gu Zhao uses tea instead of wine, and toast his father-in-law with a cup."

How could Kang Jian say that he didn’t see Lin Xuerong with his own eyes and could he not repay the prince?

This is not a case handling, but it requires conclusive evidence, but as long as there is a trace, it may not work. The appearance of Lin Xuerong's personal maid on Hongxiuzhao is enough to define the matter.

Kang Jian reminded her that since she had taken action, she would be forced to death and would never give her a chance to turn things around!

Yes, if Lin Xuerong resurrects and gets into trouble with the prince again, the first one who is unlucky will be Kang Jian.

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 the cup, stood up and said goodbye, "Our family wants to reply to Your Highness, so I won't disturb Lord Gu."

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

Not long after, the waiter walked over with a bottle of wine, and a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper was following behind him.

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

He took the bottle of wine with his own hands, poured a glass respectfully, placed it in front of Gu Zhao, and then poured a glass himself, "My Duke of my family has passed on the message, thank you Lord Gu for impartial enforcement of the law and clearing the injustice of the prince. As long as my Huo family can do the matter, please give me the order."

After saying that, the shopkeeper drank the wine in the glass and paid tribute to Gu Zhaoliang. "The little one has a low identity, this one is a small heart. The Duke of the Kingdom said that the Duke of Yong welcomes Gu to visit at any time."

Gu Zhao didn't expect that he would choose a restaurant casually, which turned out to be the property of Duke Yongguo Mansion.

It seems that the foundation of the Yongguo Duke Mansion in North Street is deeper than she imagined, and the Yongguo Duke Mansion's reaction is so fast that he probably got the news before the Khanshishi operation.

She turned around and looked out the window. The restaurant happened to be on the back door of Hongxiuzhao, which may not be a coincidence.

The smile on Gu Zhao's face was restrained, leaving only a calm and seriousness. "I would like to tell Duke Yong that this official is just performing his duties and there is no need for the Duke's gratitude."

"As for the North Street matters, as long as it does not violate the laws and regulations of the State, I will not meddle in other people's business."

Duke Yong did not dare to make friends with her, for fear of arousing more fear from the emperor. As an official in the Crane Control Division, Gu Zhao would not make friends with Duke Yong.

"Yes, the young man will definitely bring Mr. Gu's words." The shopkeeper bowed, "The young man will leave."

Gu Zhao glanced at him and found that the shopkeeper seemed to be respectful in his actions, but in fact he was neither humble nor arrogant. It seemed that there were many people in Duke Yong's mansion.

Gu Zhao waited for a while until dusk had already arrived and no one else came.

She had heard from Luo Ting that the largest gang on North Street was called Qingyitang, which controlled most of the coolies at the Cao Transport Wharf.

What's more special is that the head of Qingyitang is an old lady in her sixties, known as the "witch". It is said that she is tough in style, decisive in her behavior, fights for reason, and does not give in at any time.

Why didn't he show up today?

Gu Zhao got up and went downstairs, and turned over to the horse.

This is the time for Hongxiu to attract guests on weekdays.

At that time, the whole Hongxiuzhao was brightly lit, and there were often beautiful women on the roof of the building leaning against the railing and looking into the distance, which attracted passers-by to step into it.

Today's Hongxiuzhao is dark and the front and back of the door are guarded by soldiers. Many people panic when they see it from afar, turn around and leave
