The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

When he arrived at the door of Gu's house, Chang Shou did not dare to go forward rashly this time.

It’s because the person guarding the gate of Gu’s family is not the doorman, but the Gu family’s personal soldier.

Gu Nanyuan holds military power, so one can imagine the quality of the personal soldiers he has trained.

Although Chang Shou felt indignant for his master, he also knew that there were some people he could not afford to offend.

This time, Zhao Xiaozhi did not let Chang Shou step forward, but he stepped forward himself and bowed to the two personal soldiers.

"My two brothers, I heard that General Gu has been ill for a long time. I have known General Gu for a long time, so I came to visit him today."

The relative had never met Zhao Xiaozhi. Although he was unwilling, he nodded to his companions and went in to report the news.

The Duke of Zhenguo was originally in his room reading a letter sent from the border thousands of miles away. When he heard a knock on the door, he let the person in without even raising his head.

After the guard pushed the door open, he saw that the Duke of Zhenguo was still busy, and for a moment he didn't know how to start the conversation.

The Duke of Zhenguo also realized that something was wrong at this time and couldn't help but raise his head.

"Is there anything you need?"

This time the guard mustered up the courage to say, "Master, there is a man named Zhao outside the door. He said he is a good friend of the general. He learned that the general was ill in bed, so he wanted to come and see him."

When the Duke of Zhenguo heard that the visitor's surname was Zhao, his eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

"Just say that Yuan'er hasn't woken up yet, so it's inconvenient to entertain guests."

After hearing what the Duke of Zhenguo said, the guards knew that this was a rejection, so they didn't say much. After going out, they stopped Zhao Xiaozhi.

"Our general has not yet woken up, so I'm afraid we can't entertain guests. Please don't blame me, Mr. Zhao."

When Zhao Xiaozhi heard that he was rejected, his face became even uglier.

He never expected that he would be rejected twice in one day.

And these two people are very likely to have stolen his things...

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaozhi turned away and got on the carriage.

Chang Shou, who was in the carriage, saw that his son's face looked strange and he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

He had not forgotten the moody look of his master some time ago. Thinking that he might be used as a target for revenge, Chang Shou became more and more uneasy.

Zhao Xiaozhi had hit a wall on both sides, so he was naturally unwilling to go back like this. He turned around and shouted at Chang Shou: "Go to Jingzhao Prefecture!"

When Chang Shou heard that his master was going to Jingzhao Prefecture again, although he was puzzled, he still drove the carriage to Jingzhao Prefecture obediently.

This time, Zhao Xiaozhi didn't know if he was so angry that he didn't leave Chang Shou outside the door, but let him stay with him.

When Zhao Xiaozhi saw the prefect of Jingzhao, he did not hesitate and immediately asked in a cold voice: "Does your Excellency have any clues?"

Ever since the people from the old city were arrested, the prefect of Jingzhao has been busy non-stop.

Now with Zhao Xiaozhi's incident, he just felt annoyed.

Originally, he thought that once the news was released, those sensible people would send the things back. However, after two days of waiting, there was no news, and the Jingzhao prefect himself became anxious.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaozhi actually came to urge him, which made the Jingzhao prefect even more impatient.

It's not that he was unwilling to send people to investigate, but the thousand-year-old snow lotus is something that can't be found easily. If it was stolen, it would be strange if others were willing to return it.

After all, such a priceless treasure can bring a lifetime of wealth and glory.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, there haven't been any clues during this period, and no one has come to the government to return the items."

Zhao Xiaozhi was so angry that his face turned completely black.

"How do you, the official, do anything? Our house has been ransacked by thieves, but you still can't find a single clue?"

When the Jingzhao prefect heard that their ability to do things was being questioned, his face darkened.

"Master Zhao, there are quite a few people in the capital. It is impossible to check them one by one. Moreover, we cannot check some people either. Master Zhao, is that right?"

Zhao Xiaozhi was stunned. He didn't expect the prefect of Jingzhao to say that.

Looking at the look in the eyes of the Jingzhao prefect, what else did Zhao Xiaozhi not understand?

This is disrespecting his background!

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaozhi gritted his teeth and threatened: "Sir, you are an official appointed by the court, but you cannot abide by your duties. Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the higher authorities?"

The prefect of Jingzhao did not say anything. He never expected that Zhao Xiaozhi would threaten him again.

However, what Zhao Xiaozhi said did make him a little worried. After all, this was the imperial city. If Zhao Xiaozhi really wanted to fight to the death, then...

Thinking of this, the prefect of Jingzhao stopped talking.

Zhao Xiaozhi had not received any statement from the prefect of Jingzhao for a long time, and he became even angrier.

"I hope you can solve the case as soon as possible. After all, my thousand-year-old snow lotus is not an ordinary item. You don't want to lose your official position, do you?"

Jingzhao Prefecture Yin gritted his teeth in anger, but still said: "I will investigate carefully, but please do not interfere in our government affairs, Mr. Zhao."

"Any investigation takes time. It's getting late now. If you are angry, Mr. Zhao, you should go somewhere else to vent your anger. If you come to our Jingzhao Prefecture to cause trouble again, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhao Xiaozhi looked at the Jingzhao prefect who refused to give in. Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to leave.

After Chang Shou followed Zhao Xiaozhi out of the government office, he was completely confused.

He never imagined that the thing his young master lost was actually a thousand-year-old snow lotus.

This thousand-year-old snow lotus is an extremely precious thing. He has lived for so long but has never seen a real thousand-year-old snow lotus.

But he didn't expect that his young master not only had such a magical object, but now it has been stolen.

Thinking of this, Chang Shou couldn't help but feel sympathy for his master. After all, if such things were lost, it would be extremely difficult to find them back.

He wanted to persuade his master, but when he saw Zhao Xiaozhi's unhappy expression, he did not step forward.

Zhao Xiaozhi encountered a series of setbacks today and did not get any useful information from Jingzhao Prefecture, so he was very upset.

Seeing Chang Shou signaling him to get on the carriage, Zhao Xiaozhi waved his hand.

"You go back home first, I'll go back later."

As Zhao Xiaozhi spoke, he walked into the crowd.

Chang Shou wanted to step forward to stop him, but it was too late.

Looking at his master's disappearing back, Chang Shou sighed and just hoped that his master would be fine.

Zhao Xiaozhi originally wanted to walk home, but before he got home, he saw a familiar girl walking towards him.

The girl's clothes were still wrinkled, and her face was without any rouge or powder.

Looking at the person who walked up to him excitedly, as if he wanted to stop him, Zhao Xiaozhi couldn't help but frown.

"Miss, what are you doing here that you are stopping me?"
