With the cushion of human flesh, Gu Qingzhi landed steadily. When she looked up, she saw Old Man Qin not far away, with his hands behind his back, winking at her with a half-smile.

Ah Hu stood beside him, surrounded by a group of gambling thugs, the assassin she had just dealt with, and some people from the gambling house kneeling on the ground.

The faces of the people on the ground were covered in all sorts of colors, and it was obvious that they had been beaten up by Ah Hu and his men.

At this moment, seeing Gu Qingzhi and the assassin's body falling from the building one after another, no one dared to breathe loudly.

She immediately saw the troupe owner who was tied up. He was beaten the worst. There was not a single good spot on his face. The corners of his eyes were cracked. At this moment, he was staring at her viciously with his greasy eyes.

"Oh, Lan Zhou is still as charming as ever!"

Old man Qin clapped his hands in admiration. Gu Qingzhi knew what was going on after seeing this and was too lazy to pay attention to his glib talk.

Hearing the "crunch, crunch" sound of bones being bitten behind her, she pulled back Lan Zhou, who had been inserted into the back of the flesh pad under her feet. Seeing the black mist emanating from the wound on her chest gradually dissipate, she shook off the blood on it twice, and waited for the sound of swallowing with a malicious interest before reminding him:

"There's poison in their systems."

Old Man Qin's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly blew his whistle to call out to the huge black shadow behind Gu Qingzhi: "Baiyue! Stop eating that dirty thing, or you'll get a stomachache! Vomit!"

I saw a dog's face rising from a large mass of black mane pressing on the corpse. Under two pitch-black eyes was a bloody mouth that was still oozing bright red liquid.

It was a huge mastiff, weighing about 200 pounds. The assassin under him was the worst one among the people chasing her. He was pounced on and bitten by the mastiff from a four-story building. There must be not a single bone in his body intact.

The mastiff stopped obediently when it heard the whistle, but it seemed unwilling to give up. It stared with its round black eyes, whining and rubbing against Old Man Qin's arm to act coquettishly.

“It’s already eaten.”

Gu Qingzhi cut a piece of cloth from the corpse to wipe Lan Zhou and continued to remind him without turning back.

……

The backyard was silent for a while. Everyone knew that these dogs were the foundation of Mr. Qin, the boss of Changyi Casino.

From small stray dogs begging for food and fighting on the streets to large mastiffs like Baiyue, as long as they have been trained by him, they will obey the dog whistle in his hand.

What he treasured most were Baiyue and several other fierce dogs of the same size as him.

Just when everyone thought Old Man Qin was about to lose his temper, he paused for a moment, slapped his thigh, and pointed at her helplessly: "You are so narrow-minded, little kid! Go quickly! Invite the deputy abbot to come and see Baiyue."

Everyone present was stunned, but when they thought that the person in front of him was Lan Zhou, they gradually felt that it made sense.

After all, who would go against their biggest cash cow?

The man came to his senses and did not dare to delay for a moment. He responded and hurried to do it.

"Deserves it..."

Gu Qingzhi complained softly and stroked Lan Zhou's blade, which showed some traces of blade curling. Judging from the sharpness of the silk thread, it seemed to be specially made like the one used by Nan Ke. She felt sad that it had damaged her knife.

"Good dog, come here."

Old Man Qin touched Baiyue's head and personally led it back to the cage.

Seeing what Gu Qingzhi was thinking, the old man told his servant to take the knife to the craftsman in the workshop for repair. He turned around and nodded to the people in the workshop who were kneeling on the ground waiting for their punishment.

"Let's see who else has been poisoned and have them deal with it. I can feed the rest to the dogs."

Gu Qingzhi shook her head: "It's impossible that there are more among these people, otherwise they would have died suddenly when you caught them."

She watched as Ah Hu and his men dragged away the entire group of people, including the troupe's owner. In less than a moment, the corpses and bloodstains in the yard were washed away.

"Is this poison so strange?" When only his trusted followers were left in the backyard, Old Man Qin couldn't help but ask more questions.

Gu Qingzhi told him what happened to Ashe in the cellar of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Old Man Qin listened, twirling his beard, and muttered thoughtfully, "Using fragrance to induce sex is really rare..."

Gu Qingzhi nodded, not intending to explain any further, and then remembered something.

"Black Snake Head, I have new evidence. Nan Ke will send it to you in a few days. Please help me continue the investigation."

"I thought you hadn't made any movement for so long that I had given up long ago. Hurry and wipe it."

Old man Qin muttered and asked someone to bring a handkerchief soaked in hot water and put it into her hand.

"I'm recuperating. You saw what happened when I came here." Gu Qingzhi said as he wiped his face clean.

"If you hadn't gone through the main gate, this wouldn't have happened today."

"No." Gu Qingzhi shook her head. "As long as I leave the palace, the Black Snake Head will definitely take action."

"So you're leading people to me? Isn't that a loss for you?"

Old man Qin glared at her unhappily. This little girl really had the same personality as her master. As long as there was a need, she would make full use of every opportunity she had.

Gu Qingzhi only glanced at him: "You knew that the Black Snake Head had infiltrated the town and used me as a pawn to eliminate dissidents. I am already being very polite to you."

"Look, you're being dishonest. You're the one who brought this upon yourself. If you hadn't been so brazen and started yelling before you even entered the room, you wouldn't have attracted these filthy people, right?"

Old man Qin directly put the blame on her without any hesitation.

Seeing her leaning her hands on her hips and glaring at him, he continued, "What? Do you think I'm old and confused? Can't you see that the fisherman easily touched the knife at your waist? It was purely intentional on your part?"

"I said, I'm here today to recruit." Gu Qingzhi rolled her eyes.

"You want someone to quietly go into the inner courtyard and recruit them? Who's stopping you? Even the people who are trying to recruit me can make you say it in a high-sounding way. Do you really think I don't know who you've got your eyes on?"

Old man Qin put his hands behind his back and pointed at the heavy sword not far away.

"What about me?"

The two were arguing when a loud voice sounded from the corridor. Gu Qingzhi's eyes lit up and she turned around to look. A bright red color appeared in the corridor.

The person who came was a tall woman with an upright figure, wearing a bright red dress. She tilted her head to avoid the eaves and walked into the backyard.

"Hidden Hongxiao."

Gu Qingzhi smiled at her and called her name.

The woman grinned when she saw her. Her wheat-colored skin made her look quite different from other women. Although her facial features were not delicate, her strong body, which was developed from years of carrying heavy swords, gave her a unique charm.

Zang Hongxiao grabbed his heavy sword and put it on his shoulder, then patted Gu Qingzhi's back affectionately.

"Lan Zhou, long time no see."

"Long time no see." Gu Qingzhi replied.

Old Man Qin cleared his throat, interrupting the two people's greetings, and raised his chin with his hands in his pockets to indicate the stone bricks on the ground in the backyard that were smashed by the heavy sword.

"If you damage any property in the neighborhood, you will be fined ten cents."

"Stingy."

"Trickster."

Zang Hongxiao and Gu Qingzhi spoke almost at the same time. Old Man Qin sighed, looking regretful that a good child had been led astray.

"Hong Xiao is not usually like this. Lan Zhou, look at what a good start you've made."

"What's wrong with me?" Gu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows.

"What else? You don't fight, you don't offend your superiors, you don't follow any of the rules of this place!"

"I didn't see you asking for help when I was assassinated. How dare you say that."

"That's right. If I don't take action, Boss Qin will really be watching. What if something really happens?"

Gu Qingzhi and Zang Hongxiao sang the same tune. Old Man Qin was at his wit's end and nodded at Gu Qingzhi.

"Her? Do you think anything bad will happen to her? Even if I tear down my building, she won't die."

Gu Qingzhi curled her lips and complained in her heart: If this building is really demolished, it will be you, old Qin, who will not let me go.

"Oh, by the way, Lan Zhou, I heard you came here today to recruit?"

Zang Hongxiao tilted his head curiously.

Gu Qingzhi nodded: "Well, Prince Duan's Mansion is forming a secret guard, do you want to come with me?"
