The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

For a long time afterwards, Jin Lehuang did not take any action.

Gu Yunzhi, Qu Feiyan, and even the prince's family all listened to Gu Jingzhi and behaved no differently than in the past, as if they were unaware of Jin Lehuang's existence.

As for Ningzhou, more and more merchants have settled there as time goes by, especially this month, even some farther places can reach Ningzhou.

Therefore, Ningzhou experienced explosive growth this month, and all the shops in the streets of the provincial capital and four county towns were sold out.

Within a few months, Gu Jingzhi's wharf, the city, and the official roads connecting to other places were renovated, and all the factors restricting Ningzhou's development were resolved.

The distribution center proposed by Gu Jingzhi has also begun to grow in scale, but due to time constraints, this distribution center is still at the level of collection, and not much goods are distributed.

After all, the goods stored in Ningzhou are all used to trade with foreign ethnic groups outside the Great Wall, and they cannot arrive at this time. However, judging from the current scale of Ningzhou, the finances of the entire Ningzhou will explode in less than half a year!

It was July when good news came from Fufeng County. Gu Jingzhi didn't think twice and directly took a team of people and went to Fufeng on horseback!

Gu Jingzhi had just left...

In the backyard of an ordinary shop in Ningzhou City, Jin Lehuang was holding a teacup, drinking tea leisurely and listening to the servants' report.

After a while, she said contentedly, "Gu Jingzhi is quite capable. He managed to turn Ningzhou, a city so dire and destitute, into this state in less than half a year!"

"But it's much more convenient for us! With so many people coming and going, our actions won't be noticed!"

As she spoke, she took a sip of tea and asked, "How is it? Is there anything unusual with Gu Yunzhi?"

"Princess, our brothers have been monitoring her for over a month, and apart from running her shop, she hasn't done anything unusual!"

"Hmm! It seems that there is indeed nothing wrong with Gu Yunzhi!"

Jin Lehuang smiled slightly.

When she learned that Gu Jingzhi was in charge of Ningzhou, she was indeed very panicked. After all, Gu Jingzhi's wisdom and character made her feel scared.

Considering that Gu Jingzhi might discover something unusual, she deliberately recalled those professionally trained spies and instead used some ordinary servants and vendors to keep an eye on Gu Yunzhi.

These are just ordinary people. There is nothing wrong with their daily routines, so sometimes they are not easily exposed.

Although she was inferior to the trained spies in many ways, she had not originally intended to investigate anything. She just wanted to know Gu Yunzhi's daily whereabouts!

After monitoring Gu Jingzhi for more than a month, and during the time that Gu Jingzhi was in the capital, she did not find any contact between Gu Yunzhi and Gu Jingzhi's people, so she was completely relieved.

After sending away the servant who brought the news, she called out calmly, "Eleven..."

"Princess!"

A man came out of the darkness.

Jin Lehuang said softly: "Gu Yunzhi can contact her..."

"I'll go get her right away!"

"No need!"

Jin Lehuang said, "This is an emergency, and Ningzhou is Gu Jingzhi's territory. The fewer people who know about our stronghold here, the better!"

"Go find a secret place and bring her there. This princess will meet her in person!"

……

Gu Yunzhi was busy in her shop as usual, and she had no idea that Jin Lehuang wanted to see him.

But even if she knew, she would not be surprised at all, because this was expected. Moreover, only if Jin Lehuang was arrested as soon as possible could her family live in peace!

Although, once Gu Jingzhi is transferred back to the capital, their family will be free from worries, but who can say for sure what will happen before he is transferred?

She was calculating accounts in the backyard of the main store when she suddenly heard a slight movement against the window. Her eyes flashed, but then she pretended not to notice anything and continued fiddling with the abacus.

After a while, a voice suddenly rang out: "It is said that the Gu family has a military heritage, but I didn't expect that Miss Gu has such a talent in business..."

"Who?"

Gu Yunzhi pretended to be panicked and casually drew the sword beside her. However, the sword was only halfway out of the sheath when a sharp blade was placed on her shoulder. She immediately stopped what she was doing and asked:

"Who are you, sir, and what brings you here?"

"Humph!"

Eleven snorted coldly, put away the sword, and said softly: "The princess wants to see you!"

"Princess?"

Gu Yunzhi was puzzled at first, then said with surprise: "The princess wants to see me? Are you preparing to take action?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. After serving under the princess for so long, don't you know?"

"..."

Gu Yunzhi pretended to be terrified: "Don't blame me, sir. It's just that my brother was exiled by the government. I'm afraid he's still alive or dead. I'm really angry, so I asked this question. I hope you'll forgive me!"

"Humph! Since you didn't mean it, I'll let you go today!"

Eleven's tone remained calm as she handed Gu Yunzhi a note and said, "Come here in an hour and the princess will see you!"

Gu Yunzhi took it with both hands and said respectfully, "Please tell the princess that I will arrive on time!"

"Um……"

Eleven snorted lightly and then left the room!

Noticing Eleven's departure, Gu Yunzhi's eyes turned cold. She looked at the long sword beside her...

snort!

If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to find your lair, I would have killed you with my sword today!

The children of the Gu family have extraordinary talents in martial arts. Before, she and Gu Huanzhi had simply lost their inheritance, so their martial arts skills were not that great.

But since she met Gu Jingzhi, Gu Jingzhi not only taught them martial arts, but also helped to heal a hidden injury. Now her and Gu Huanzhi's martial arts are improving by leaps and bounds, and she doesn't take Eleven's skills seriously at all.

All that happened before was just for show!

She has been with Qu Feiyan for some time and has learned a lot from her!

Nowadays, the Gu family has few descendants and the children have not grown up yet. As the daughter of the Gu family, she cannot afford to live the life of a pampered young lady. She must become a useful member of the Gu family!

Not long after Eleven left, Qu Feiyan entered the house.

"I guess she still doesn't trust me. The place she gave me is just a temporary place for conversation!"

Gu Yunzhi handed the note to Qu Feiyan. Qu Feiyan took a look and saw that it was from a newly opened teahouse. She immediately said disdainfully, "She asked someone to invite you and specially found a newly opened teahouse. I'm afraid she wants to mislead you into thinking that it is her new base!"

"Ha! If it were me half a year ago, I might have believed it, but now..."

Gu Yunzhi just smiled and said nothing more.

Qu Feiyan smiled bitterly and said, "Young Miss has made great progress recently. If I didn't know you, I would have thought you were a seasoned spy!"

"I?"

Gu Yunzhi laughed and said, "I'm not the real powerful one. I just have some talent in business. It's others who are powerful..."
