Thinking of this possibility, Minister Gu broke out in a cold sweat.

"Someone, go check who entered the study today..."

After searching for an hour, I still couldn't find out who it was.

Minister Gu became even more anxious and angry.

"Drag them out and interrogate them carefully. If they don't confess, drag them out and sell them off..."

"Master, I am innocent."

"I really don't know who entered your study."

"Master, I really don't know. We have been guarding the door the whole time."

Not only the two servants, but also the gatekeeper and the maids in the courtyard were beaten. But Minister Gu still couldn't find out what happened.

When Gu Zhu heard the news, she rushed over immediately.

"Master, what happened?"

Gu Zhu asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Minister Gu had a gloomy face, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Ms. Zhu, let me ask you again, do you have anything to do with the usury?"

Mrs. Gu Zhu didn't expect that Minister Gu would ask about the interest again.

"Master, are you confused? I said I didn't do such a thing. Why are you still asking this? Did someone say bad things about me in front of you..."

Gu Zhu immediately denied it, she thought it was Aunt Shi or Aunt Chen who said bad things about her in front of Minister Gu. Otherwise why would Minister Gu talk about this matter again and again.

"Master, I am innocent. You can't doubt me based on a few words from outsiders..." Gu Zhu cried aggrievedly.

Minister Gu had already driven out everyone in the study, and now only Minister Gu and Mrs. Gu Zhu were in the room.

"Ms. Zhu, do you think I'm stupid? Take a look at this account book." Minister Gu threw the account book directly at Mrs. Gu Zhu.

When Gu Zhu heard what Minister Gu said, she felt like she was hit in the face by the booklets. She picked up the booklets and read them carefully.

After seeing the above records, Gu Zhu's mind went blank and she could hardly believe her own eyes.

This is... this, she knows exactly what it is.

But she is the only one who has this account book, and her account book does not record it in this way.

Gu Zhu's hands were shaking as she looked at the account book.

"Ms. Zhu, tell me, what's going on? They've brought the account books to me."

When Minister Gu saw how busy Gu Zhu was, he started to make guesses and decided to trick Gu Zhu.

When Gu Zhu heard Minister Gu's harsh rebuke, she still wanted to argue.

"Master, I really don't know. I am innocent..."

"You are still quibbling. When you are nervous, your hands will shake and your eyes will blink continuously..." When Minister Gu saw Gu Zhushi like this, he became more and more certain that Gu Zhushi must be related to the loan sharking incident. He also heard that this time, it seemed that the shopkeepers of Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion and Zhu's family were also involved in this incident, and those people ran away.

Minister Gu scolded again.

"Someone, go check on the shopkeeper in the mansion to see if anyone from the Dali Temple has gone to the servants' residence to arrest anyone recently..."

As soon as Minister Gu finished speaking, his subordinates immediately reported.

"Master, it seems that someone from the Dali Temple went to the back street of the mansion yesterday to look for someone, saying that they were investigating the situation..."

what?

Is there anyone really investigating this matter?

Minister Gu's face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes were full of coldness when he looked at Gu Zhu.

"Whose family are you investigating?"

"The He family, and the Yang Lin family..."
