Chapter 129 I heard it’s easy to peek at people taking a bath by climbing through a window…
Although the Shangshu and Shilang are no longer with us, many members of the Jiang and Guo families are still in exile.
Whether the two families can clear their names is related to the life and death of their clan members, as well as themselves...
As long as they get rid of their criminal status, they can also be freed from slavery. Although Gu Jingzhi is nice to the servants in the mansion, no one likes to be inferior to others.
Although this mansion has no worries about food and clothing, it has lost its freedom. In addition...
As servants, once their masters were convicted, they would be sold again. This was the greatest sorrow of slavery.
Gu Jingzhi naturally had no idea what these two girls were thinking, but he didn't need to think too much about it. When he arranged for Tao'er to look after Zhou Yin and the other two, he had already made a plan.
There is no doubt that the case of Zhou Yin and his two companions is closely related to the issue of land annexation.
As long as he could figure this out, he wouldn't have to dig too deep into the secrets of Tao'er and Jian'er.
Sometimes asking questions on your own is of no use; on the contrary, what others say can work wonders.
This is human nature, and this is also the human heart!
He didn't have that much time to deal with a maid, even though this maid was once a lady from a wealthy family.
But there is something that needs to be done right now.
Jin Lehuang, the woman I met a few times but didn't seem familiar with, but seemed to have some entanglements with.
In theory, if it weren't for what happened twenty years ago, he and Jin Lehuang might have been old friends, or even good friends.
It's just fate!
During the turmoil twenty years ago, the two had a deep connection, but their relationship was not very good.
As for why he was looking for her, it was of course because of the internal security.
Judging from the last assassination attempt on Xiao Li, this woman is hiding very deeply. It seems that her involvement in the internal security is... quite serious!
As for why he wanted to find her, it was simply to see if there was a basis for cooperation between the two of them.
Although Emperor Xia currently trusts him, the more he learns, the more he feels that Emperor Xia's methods are astonishing.
To Emperor Xia, he was just a knife, even a sharp knife.
But these are only based on his value. As for the emperor, it is better not to gamble on his character.
Judging from the fate of those who surrendered from the Yun Kingdom, although Emperor Xia did not add fuel to the fire, he did have such thoughts.
If one day Emperor Xia knew that he was Gu Zhen’s son, who knows what would happen to their relationship!
As for Jin Lehuang, he also didn't believe it, but the power he had at the moment was limited. If he really had to confront the aristocratic families one day, the ability of the inner guards would still be of some use.
Even though he seems to have a good relationship with Tianshu now, what he can know from Tianshu is only what Emperor Xia allows him to know. If Emperor Xia doesn't let him know, he would be a blind man!
If you go against aristocratic families, you will be doomed if you are not careful.
From the way Emperor Xia treated the former generals of the Yun Kingdom, we can tell that he is somewhat suspicious.
Gu Jingzhi was promoted to the fourth rank at such a young age. Not only was he not happy about this rank, but he always felt uneasy.
The higher your status, the more attention you will receive from all sides, and the more whirlpools you may be involved in.
This is not,
When he was first appointed Secretary and later promoted twice, Emperor Xia's sons vied with each other in sending him invitations, but Gu Jingzhi refused any of them, pretending to be loyal only to Emperor Xia.
But as time goes by, something else is bound to happen.
After what happened to Lao Huang before, he felt that he had no one to use him, and that even in such a big city like Beijing, it was difficult for him to move forward.
Thinking of Lao Huang, Gu Xiu’s shadow jumped into Gu Jingzhi’s mind.
If what I expected is true, the most likely murderer is Gu Xiu!
He provoked Gu Jingzhi several times but ended up in a bad situation, especially being stripped of his official position and never being employed again, and his future was basically ruined.
In the end, she opened a brothel, but was locked up by Gu Jingzhi because of a murder case.
At first, he thought it might be Xiao Li, but then he felt that Xiao Li in this capital... it seemed completely unnecessary to get a servant. The key was the tortures used on Old Huang...
Xiao Li did not have the motive or possibility to commit the crime.
So, it’s only Gu Xiu!
Thinking of the suffering that Old Huang suffered before his death, Gu Jingzhi's eyes flashed!
"It will be soon! Soon your Gu family will pay the price they deserve..."
He had no intention of letting Gu Heng go. After finishing what Emperor Xia asked him to do, the next step would be to deal with the Gu family.
How can all this be without that woman?
Gu Jingzhi slowly stood up and walked out of the study.
……
Once again stepping into the royal villa, Gu Jingzhi came to an attic without disturbing anyone.
This time, he naturally didn't plan to climb through the window again. Although according to the novels, climbing through the window would definitely allow him to see a beautiful woman taking a bath, if Gu Jingzhi really saw this scene, his purpose of coming here today would be ruined.
Step by step up the stairs to the attic.
Jin Lehuang, who was taking a flower petal bath, suddenly heard a sound coming from outside the attic and couldn't help but frown.
As a woman who always thinks about doing big things, she is naturally good at practical skills such as martial arts.
In addition, it was the middle of the night and the entire villa was extremely quiet, so she would naturally notice someone coming upstairs.
but……
A cold light suddenly flashed in her eyes. Without saying anything, she grabbed the bright red robe hanging on the rack...wrapped her exquisite body, then walked to the pillar, picked up the sword, and quietly walked towards the door.
According to her daily understanding, the footsteps did not come from anyone in his villa, or in other words, not from anyone close to her.
In fact, judging from the sound of his footsteps, he should be skilled in martial arts.
"Tuk tuk..."
The door rang.
A hint of doubt flashed in Jin Lehuang's eyes. Why did he knock on the door?
Jin Lehuang did not answer. There were two more knocks outside the door, and then a voice came: "Princess Jin, stop pretending. The light in this room is still on!"
"..."
Gu Jingzhi?
A hint of displeasure flashed across Jin Lehuang's eyes.
He was a grown man, yet he broke into a woman's room late at night...
However, Jin Lehuang is not an ordinary woman. As a woman who looks gentle but is actually very sophisticated, she is naturally not afraid of people like Gu Jingzhi.
"come in!"
Jin Lehuang turned around, walked to a table and poured himself a glass of water.
When Gu Jingzhi heard the sound, he pushed the door open and walked in.
What caught my eye was a long red robe with dark black hair hanging down the back, reaching the waist and hips.
Ah!
She has a beautiful face, a great figure, and a multifaceted temperament... She is a top-notch woman.
Jin Lehuang seemed to not care about Gu Jingzhi at all. She still drank a sip of tea with her back to him, and then said lightly:
"Master Gu and I just broke up during the day, and we had a rather unhappy quarrel. Master Gu came to visit so late at night. Could he be here to apologize?"
"Also, I'm very curious about how Lord Gu knew where my attic is."
When he finished saying this, Jin Lehuang turned around and looked at him with a pair of cold eyes!
