Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

They were the ones sent by Wang Zhuo to assassinate Gu Qiongsi.

Because in Wang Zhuo's eyes, Gu Qiongsi was nothing at all, and killing her was a piece of cake.

Now that the situation in Jinzhou cannot be changed, the only way to minimize the impact of this matter on Li Junze is to prevent Gu Qiongsi from returning to Beijing.

However, when they finally waited for a suitable opportunity to take action against Gu Qiongsi, they discovered that in addition to a guard, there was actually someone protecting Gu Qiongsi in secret.

As expected, an accident occurred during their operation.

Each of them was seriously injured, but no one was killed. They lay on the ground one by one, groaning in pain.

Cao Xingwen was so frightened that his face turned pale. He huddled behind the carriage. Only when he saw that there was no danger anymore did he come out from behind.

Just when the guards they brought were about to be defeated, two men in black suddenly appeared and helped them to injure all the assassins without saying a word.

Moreover, he checked them one by one and found that all of them were seriously injured, which made Cao Xingwen horrified.

Gu Qiongsi was also very scared just now. The actions of several assassins were surprisingly consistent. They were obviously coming for him. However, he did not expect that His Highness not only arranged guards to protect him, but also arranged people in secret.

If it weren't for their intervention, I would have become a corpse by now.

"Gu...Qingzhu, they don't have any distinctive features on them, nor do they carry anything to prove their identity. What do you think we should do?" Cao Xingwen asked tentatively after checking.

"Kill them all, leave no one alive." Gu Qiongsi's eyes flashed slightly, and he only took a glance at the few people lying on the ground, then he started giving the order.

Cao Xingwen was shocked. He didn't expect that this woman, Gu Qiongsi, could be so cruel. He had followed His Royal Highness Prince An for so long, but she had never done such a thing.

Fortunately, there were guards there, so he just signaled to the guards, and the two of them got on the carriage and continued driving.

But he heard a younger man among the people behind him finally lost his temper and shouted loudly, "Gu Qiongsi, you can't kill us, otherwise, His Royal Highness Prince An will not let you go."

After hearing this, Gu Qiongsi immediately stopped getting on the car and turned back to stare at the person who was shouting. Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and she finally asked, "Are you sent by Master Wang?"

"Haha, are you scared..." He was halfway through his words when the other person lying next to him stopped him from continuing.

However, Gu Qiongsi had figured out everything. She nodded to the guards and said, "Kill them all and dispose of the bodies cleanly so that no one finds them."

After saying that, she got on the carriage and waited for the two of them to deal with the bodies of the assassins.

Before she herself traveled through time, if the parents of a wealthy family disliked the woman their son brought home, they would tell the woman, "Here is one million, leave my son."

However, now, in the Great Chu State, encountering such a thing, it is not surprising that Wang Zhuo did such a thing.

After all, his reputation in the capital was not good. If he were to be with Prince An, it would definitely have a certain impact on him.

Humph, Wang Zhuo, he has not yet realized that with his current resigned status, how can he help His Royal Highness Prince An?

On the contrary, I am the one who can provide the greatest help to His Royal Highness Prince An.

While Gu Qiongsi was thinking this, he was already thinking step by step in his heart how to sow discord between Prince An and Wang Zhuo.

When Gu Qiongsi and the others returned to the capital, it was the last time given by Lord Wei. Without even taking a breath, she went to Jingzhao Prefecture immediately and told Lord Wei about her plan.

Yipinxiang was put up for sale, and all the money raised was used to repay the customers' compensation.

Of course, she still had a lot of unused spices in her hands, which had been sold at half the price for Jin, earning her several thousand taels of silver.

Lord Wei naturally knew the situation of the owner behind Yipinxiang, so he did not intend to make things too difficult for Gu Qiongsi. Instead, he bowed to Gu Qiongsi and said,

"Mrs. Gu is really particular about her work. If she can pay off all their compensation, the matter will be settled. However, if Yipinxiang is to be sold, I wonder how long it will take?"

Yes, if Yipinxiang is such a big shop and has not been sold, it will never be able to repay the debt, and those people will come to Jingzhao Prefecture to cause trouble every day.

Gu Qiong thought it was almost impossible to sell it at a high price. If he wanted to sell it quickly, he could only lower the price.

"Master Wei, don't worry. I will find a way to resolve this matter as soon as possible and will not make it difficult for you."

After saying this, Gu Qiongsi said goodbye to Lord Wei and hurried back to Yipinxiang.

When Jin Zi saw Gu Qiongsi coming back, he hurried forward to say hello, but he was also startled when he saw Gu Qiongsi for the first time.

Maybe it was because of the fatigue from the journey, but Gu Qiongsi looked exhausted and his spirit was much weaker than before.

"Boss, you must have been tired from the journey. You should go upstairs and have a rest. I have already cleaned the place." Jinzi said hurriedly.

Gu Qiongsi shook her head. She had been sitting in the carriage for the past two days without anyone to talk to. She was really sleepy.

"Go and call over several well-known pawnshop owners in the capital. I have something to discuss with them," Gu Qiongsi ordered.

Jinzi nodded and turned to leave, but soon turned back and asked, "I don't know what it is. I'd better tell the shopkeepers the truth, otherwise I'm afraid some of them won't give me face."

He said that he was afraid that the shopkeepers would not give him face. In fact, those shopkeepers did not give Jinzi any face at all. If he did not tell him what the matter was, none of those shopkeepers would be willing to follow him to Yipinxiang.

Gu Qiongsi could naturally imagine that in the minds of those shop owners, Yipinxiang should be just an ordinary shop and they would not take it seriously at all.

So she pondered for a long time before saying, "Yipinxiang is anxious to sell the shop, let's see which shopkeeper offers a suitable price."

"Yes." Jinzi agreed quickly. It was not until he walked out of Yipinxiang's shop that he slowed down his pace a little, feeling mixed emotions.

Is the owner planning to give up Yipinxiang? Sell it at a low price? And even pawn it to a pawnshop?

It's no wonder that Jinzi was confused. If he sold it to a pawnshop, he could only get 70% of the market price at most. He would never consider taking this step unless it was absolutely necessary.

It seems that the owner has no other solution, alas...
