After collecting almost everything, Yan Shu was about to leave the study and continue looking for the Gu family's granary, when suddenly there was a slight noise outside the door.

She hurriedly turned off the flashlight and hid in the window curtain behind the door, holding her breath and listening to the movement outside.

"Squeak!"

The door opened slowly, and a dark figure flashed in.

Yan Shu took a sneak peek and saw that the man had a tall figure and looked somewhat similar to Jiang Ci's figure.

After entering the house, he stood still and glanced around.

His eyes suddenly fell in front of the window curtain, and his eyes became a little darker.

Yan Shu's heart skipped a beat, he didn't dare to take a breath, and he considered whether to escape into the space.

The black shadow suddenly walked straight towards her.

The anesthetic gun in Yan Shu's hand had been raised. The next second, the window curtain was pulled open, a dagger was pressed against her slender neck, and the anesthetic needle in her hand was pressed against the other person's chest.

Jiang Ci paused slightly, and Yan Shu immediately recognized his identity through those familiar eyes.

"Uncle?"

"Shh!"

Jiang Ci put away the dagger, held Yan Shu's thin waist and ducked through the window curtain.

The next second, the door was pushed open again.

"The door...why isn't the door locked? What...are these dogs doing?" came an angry voice.

Yan Shu rested his head against Jiang Ci's arms and could clearly feel his beating heart.

His heart rate is a little fast. Is he nervous?

"Master, you are drunk. I will help you go back to your room to rest. If you have any official business, it won't be too late to deal with it tomorrow."

"No, no, there are some important things... that haven't been dealt with yet." Mr. Gu walked crookedly to the desk.

I felt dizzy and felt that the scenery in front of me was slowly rotating.

The young and beautiful concubine immediately supported his body.

"Master, you are so drunk now, how can you do anything serious? Listen to me, let's go back to the room to rest first, and then come back to deal with it tomorrow morning, okay?"

Mr. Gu chuckled and hugged his concubine's waist tightly with his arms.

"Who said...who said I can't do business, sir? I'm not...not drunk. I can do whatever I want...but if it doesn't work, I'll let you...show it to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he opened his mouth full of alcohol and leaned over.

The concubine slapped Mr. Gu a few times in a coquettish way.

"Master, you are so bad."

"Haha, the master is not only evil but also..."

Yan Shu immediately understood what he wanted to say.

Yan Shu and Jiang Ci, who were hiding in the window curtains, stared at each other, feeling the temperature around them rising.

Mr. Gu kept chattering some unpleasant words, which made Yan Shu, a single mother and child, astonished.

Jiang Ci seemed to have a normal expression, but actually his heart was surging.

When he was at Hongle Academy, Cai Wenjie shared a small picture with them, and he also looked at it curiously.

At that time, I was quite dismissive, but I never thought that I would be involved in this kind of thing today.

Yan Shu silently counted the time in his heart.

It ended when she counted the thirteen hundred sheep.

It seems that Mr. Gu has taken three courses of Liuwei Dihuang Pills, and his bones have really become stronger.

There was silence outside. Jiang Ci glanced at the little woman in his arms and saw her turning her face away with an embarrassed look, a faint smile in her deep eyes.

Yan Shu stood motionless in the corner, afraid of making any noise.

But I always felt that the behavior of the two people was too ambiguous.

Jiang Ci smiled at her, opened the window curtain and walked out.

Master Gu felt a shadow approaching above his head and suddenly opened his eyes.

"You... who are you?"

Jiang Ci raised his hand and touched his mute point. The concubine was so frightened that she opened her mouth to scream. Yan Shu slashed the back of her neck with his palm. The concubine rolled her eyes and fainted on the spot.

Yan Shu glanced at Jiang Ci and guessed that Jiang Ci was here for today's batch of food.

Jiang Ci knelt down and stared at Mr. Gu, who was disheveled and with frightened eyes.

"Mr. Gu, hand over the letters between you and the capital, and I will give you a way out."

Mr. Gu opened his mouth but couldn't make any sound.

Jiang Ci tapped him lightly, and Mr. Gu immediately got up from the ground.

"I don't know what you are talking about? Are you from the capital? Our Gu family does have business dealings with the capital. I wonder which merchant you are talking about?"

Jiang Ci sighed softly and played with the dagger in his hand.

"Wu Huiyan, Yunying Guard, Mr. Gu has a batch of goods planned to be shipped out at Sanliwan Ferry tonight."

Mr. Gu's expression changed drastically.

Jiang Ci curled his lips slightly and continued: "If nothing else happens, the people from the Nanwei Governor's Mansion should arrive at dawn. Mr. Gu still has three hours to prepare."

Mr. Gu was so flustered that he didn't know how to make a decision.

Those letters were originally his talismans. He was afraid that one day the King of Qi would kill the donkey, leaving these letters could threaten the King of Qi.

If he hands it over now, I'm afraid the entire Gu family will be completely ruined.

When Mr. Gu was silent, his eyes suddenly fell on Yan Shu.

A bold idea came to my mind.

"Okay, I'll give it to you."

He slowly stood up and walked to the desk, suddenly pulled out the sword hanging on the wall, and stabbed Yan Shu straight at him.

Yan Shu's eyes were slightly cold, and his body quickly flashed to avoid Master Gu's attack.

She raised her hand and pierced an acupuncture point on Mr. Gu's elbow with a silver needle. The pain caused him to cry out in pain, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

"Crack!" Yan Shu took off his arm and kicked his crotch.

Humph, you dog man is not worthy of taking her medicine.

"what!"

Mr. Gu fell to the ground in pain, holding his crotch tightly with both hands.

Jiang Ci stared at him coldly: "I don't know whether to live or die."

Before the voice fell, the dagger in his hand flew out and pierced Mr. Gu's chest.

"puff!"

Master Gu spat out a mouthful of blood. The pain in his body and soul made him no longer dare to take chances.

"Hero, spare your life. I'll leave those letters to you. I just ask you to let us, the Gu family, go."

"Where?"

Gu Laoqiang stretched out his left hand and pointed at the painting on the wall.

Just as he was about to speak, a short arrow shot out of the window and accurately pierced Mr. Gu's throat.

Mr. Gu was shot dead on the spot.

Jiang Ci's cold eyes were slightly dazed, and he flew after him.

Yan Shu's eyes fell on the painting hanging on the wall.

The painting that Mr. Gu pointed at just now was in the direction of the painting. She walked straight over, took the painting off and looked at it carefully.

It's just an ordinary painting, and there's no sandwich in the middle. There's no way the letter could be hidden here.

She raised her hand and knocked on the wall, which was also solid.

When she was puzzled, she suddenly noticed the seven wild geese soaring in the sky on the scroll.
